"I think we can go barefoot,"Cathy and Kayla said at the same time.

"Okay, so if you want to grab anything to bring with you... umm...food..." Nitara said, "Your perfectly welcome to," She handed them each odd hats that were flat (kind of like the japanese hats) and had ties on each side. They were made from the same material as their clothes, except with a leather padding underneath to make them thicker. "These may look a bit wierd but you'll need them. You can strap them on your back. I've arranged for you to recieve your weapons at the training ground."

OOC: may I join this litle war? kasei was in the orriginal topic...

Sovelis went inside and quickly changed. "This will work nicly Nitara, Thank you." he said as he came out, his pack on his back, new clothes on, and the hat on his head. "I like the hat. I might need some leggings though But they'll need to be able to come off quickly if I'm going to need Sovel...Do you think I shouldn't use him? I don't know if I can keep him in check with out my own powers..." Sovelis said as he strapped his sword around his waist and he leaned on his staff. "I wonder..." he said as he concentrated, making a small fire burn at the tip of his staff. "YES!! With the staff as a focusing tool, I can use Magic still, Altough I'd rather use my Tempet powers." He looked at Nitara. "That suits you well. Are there 4 moons here?"

"I think I remember that she said there were three moons,"Cathy piped up.

"Yes, have you noticed that we've mentioned a lot of "moon-risings"..." Nitara said, ignoring the remark that had stuck out to her, ("that suits you nicely")
"And that is the emblem of the chosens, you know those two foxes are actually Lyra and Ruin!" Nitara zoned out for a second looking at the horizon...

"We might not have time to practice, the enemy is approaching... a little sooner than we expected... And where DID Kasei go to!" She looked around and turned back to them, "I'm working on getting part of your powers back, at the most, I think the spirit Lenore will compromise. Sovelis I don't think you should use Sovel, we can handle ourselves well enough where you will not have to. And if you did it could cause a major confusion in our spiritual realm..."

"NETTLYN!!! NETTLE-RUNE!!! RIN!!!" Nitara called with her voice and mind, "KEY!!"

Nettlyn and her little sister Nettle-rune came running, along with a girl with curly blonde hair. A girl with long black hair down to her knees and green eyes came running from the other direction weapons in her hands. As Key, the girl with the weapons, handed Nitara the weapons she began to pass them out. "Kayla, a singer (double bladed sword with moonstone in center, automatically returns to hand when thrown) and a Rock Crusher bow of our lightest and strongest wood. Cathy, two Liren (A circular metal ring with blades all around it, put your wrist through the ring and point the blades up. cut with back-arm slices) and Ice-daggers from the River Benders. (Daggers infused with ice) Sovelis, if you'd like any additional weapons I could get them sent to you in moments."

She turned to Nettlyn and Nettle-Rune, "Nettlyn, Nett, how long?"

"Approximately ten minutes or so... of the first regiment." Nettlyn replied.

"Rin, I want you to send word to the Ash Igniters and tell them we are to start with the Fletch." The blonde girl nodded and ran off.

"Mabye if you had a nuclear-powered Plasma rifle in the 40 kilowatt amprage, or mabye just a few thermonuclear warheads!" Sovelis said sarcasticly. "Naw...I'm ok. Sword, arm-blade and staff are all I'll need. Nitara, I'll try to contain Sovel as best as I can, but I don't know if I can without my powers. I might need help with that."

"I hate waiting around, are we going to leave soon?' Cathy grumbled.

"Yes, come the rest of the army is already in it's place over the horizon. But it just phased me how I can get your powers back, or at least half of them. Come." She ran off quickly and grabbed a teleport stone off a table. She gave them each one and than said a different word than she originally said. She dissippeared. The word she had said was "Lenore."

Sovelis held the stone over his head in a dramatic fashion. "LENORE!!!" he shouted as he disapeared.

Cathy shook her head,"What an idiot. Lenore!" Soon after she said it, Kayla said "lenore" as well.

They appeared in front of a vast garden, a path of gleaming stones made a path into the long stalks of huge multicolored flowers. Nitara's tail can be spotted disappearing into the flowers. Around the entrance large rocks that were different colors and glowing had names sketched into them. The first and largest one had the name Lenore engraved, it shined a brilliant orange. The second had greys and reds swirled together and the colors looked as if they were moving, the name engraved was Arramay. The next was a gleaming amethyst and the name engraved was Flitonica.
Nitara came back out, beckoning them in.

"This is where we honor the spirits of our world, the spirit of essence; Lenore, the spirit of storms; Arramay, and the spirit of time; Flitonica. I think if the spirits know of your toil, your powers will be returned." Nitara said before beckoning them once again onto the gleaming path of stones and into the garden of blooming flowers.

Sovelis stood before Nitara. "What am I to do? Which spirit do I speak to?" Sovelis said. He could feel power eminating from the stones, like life leaking into the air.

Nitara's head popped back out of the large flowers. "You don't choose, they choose..." She ran back in laughing. Before they could notice she jumped into a path off to the side, hardly visible. As the others walked onto the path (sorry about god-modding??) the path split into two directions. Nitara's voice could be heard from all around, "You have to go alone, each one take a different path..."

OoC: Wait, there's two. And there are three people(not encluding Kasei) so that means another person has to go with another on one of the paths.
