| The First Spell | OH HOLY--

[If you just so happen to be passing by a particular shore, you may witness a strange sight.

A young boy, stripped of his clothing, screaming his lungs off while a snake chases him around and around.]

NU-OH OH OH OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!

[For you lucky souls viewing this, you may see that after some time, he speeds by a pile of blue, snatches up the clothing and another precious object- a snack box of sorts- and claws his way up a tree.]

S-stay-- Uuuuuuu.... Stay back!

[Oh look. The serpent in question simply hisses in reply and begins to travel up towards the trembling child.]

Ah-

OOOU?! Someone! Someone please save... save Vulcan first, but make sure to save me, too!

[What's this? Snakes? In MY island? Oh I don't think so.]

So there are more of these vermin scattered on this island after all. Now that's just a pity.

[Sob. Sob. Sob. Hey mister, aren't you going to help a little boy in need?!]

Uuuuuuuuu...

[ is there a spear coming straight down on the snake, I do believe so ]

Really now, they ought to know better.

[a-kind-king.livejournal.com]

[You are his hero. His freakin' hero right now.]

Nu-nuuu.

[Hesitant, Gash edges down the tree, items in hand and still very bare.]

Thank you! Unuu. You saved us!

[brbwalking.livejournal.com]

They're just bullies, that's all. [ and she apparently isn't bothered by this at all, since she's just kneeling down to his level ] Are you okay?

[a-kind-king.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's just six-- sevenish.]

Unu. Vulcan and I are safe.

[He smiles at her, impossibly large eyes gleaming.]

How can we ever repay you?

[brbwalking.livejournal.com]

I don't need anything like that. [ and now that she's getting a better look at him... ] You're Gash, aren't you?

[The mentioning of his name although the young demon has never said it to her before grabs his attention completely away from the previous topic.]

I am! But... how do you know my name?

[brbwalking.livejournal.com]

Kiyomaro happens to be a good friend of mine. He's mentioned you.

... [would love to save you but she is kinda horrified herself]

[a-kind-king.livejournal.com]

[What a cruel world. Such a cruel, cruel, woooooorld.]

[godtouchesme.livejournal.com]

Um, just... stay there!

[a-kind-king.livejournal.com]

Ouuu. O-okay!

[It's not like he's going anywhere anyway at this rate. ...Maybe.]

[godtouchesme.livejournal.com]

[now give her a second while she tries to figure out what to do]

[a-kind-king.livejournal.com]

[She may take her time. He'll be up there for a while without help.]

[godtouchesme.livejournal.com]

[alright she is grabbing a rock and blindly throwing it in the direction that she hopes the snake is at]

Get... get away!
