[i]"Breathe. Five seconds in, three seconds out. Repeat it. Feel it. Feel the heavy breaths, feel the weight behind them. Feel it pull them down on your lungs like rocks."
Natalie's hand guided the staff in her hand. She felt the weapon running along the length of her arm, across her back. She saw the head of it pointed at the tree downwind from her, the glowing purple crystal staring at the bark like a dog stared down a treat. She saw the tree restlessly rustle, the leaves falling gracefully onto the grassy ground below them. It was calming, a state much like a trance that she put herself into. The tree shook violently as it slipped out of the ground, snaking it's roots up and into the air above it. Then with a spin of her staff, Natalie brought it to the front side of her person and sent the tree flying somewhere behind her. It skidded to a halt on the ground maybe fifteen feet away, and she held the staff with either hand now. The power in her weapon felt living, it felt strong. She lifted it once more and sent it flying into the air now, like an eagle soaring high. It hit an eagle, funnily enough, which made Natalie laugh at the comparison. The tree came crashing down to earth a moment later although a burst of energy knocked it off the path, sending it flying outwards and away from Nat like a baseball when hit by a big, invisible bat.

"Holy shit!" Alpha said, watching the spectacle "What the -blam!- are you on?" The goat said, laughing She approached the mage, grinning. For once, she wasn't armed to the teeth or wearing her hoodie and jeans, instead opting for a black tank top and black shorts. She also didn't wear her boots, instead just going barefoot, exposing her paw-feet. "That's a shit-ton better than what I can do"
-
[i]"Thanks, though mainly it's my anger for nature that did all of that," Nat responded sarcastically. A chuckle joined her words, lacing the warmly friendish tone with an upbeat catalyst. [/i]
-
"Huh. All I got is fire and some metal gear Quiet shit." She said, impressed at the feat.
-
[i]"What?" [/i]
-
All Nat would see for a few seconds would be a puff of smoke where Alpha was standing, then a tap on the shoulder behind her "Nothin' personnel, kid." She said, before laughing

Edited by NightBloomsFell: 11/8/2017 10:04:43 AM[i]nearby a tall slender woman with long purple hair and purple eyes. She had tattoos with strange marking all over her grey skin. She was seen walking into woods with one other woman. a 8'9" tall woman with strawberry blonde hair lightly tanned skin peppered with freckles. She had sea blue eyes and was walking past nat currently heading to the woods for some reason. she was easy to notice as she was pretty damn tall. The third was a woman with purplish grey skin, long electric blue hair and fushica eyes. She was the slowest as she brought up the rear. [/i]
-
[i]Nat glanced over at the trio, studying them curiously. Unlike her father, she wasn't the most experienced with aliens - Didn't know their cultures, customs, greetings, any of it. So the woman looked over curiously, half-focused on the tree. [/i]
-
[i]only two of the trio was aliens the tallest one was a giant. Third woman bringing up rear turned for a second saw her and waved at her smiling in friendly manner. She was the shortest of them too.[/i]
-
[i]Nat waved back, her staff now being held in the right hand as she lifted her left. It ran along her back diagonally, resting by her side peacefully as to not seem hostile. [/i]
-
"Hi ''she says [i]she comes walking over. She had a pretty calm demeanor about her. She had been originally following the other two cause she had recognized Sylvie as a race from her solar system. [/i]
-
[i]"Sup."[/i]
-
"Not much my name is Xexa its nice to meet you."she says
-
[i]"Natalie. Nice to meet you." [/i]
-
"You that lady that passed you with the purple does that magic stuff too but she makes the plants grow not fly."says Xexa

"Woah......COOOOOL! Go! Go! Mage!" Natalie could hear the small, 5'2" girl known as Traci laugh behind her. "Chuck that tree! Hit an eagle! Gooooo! Mage girl! She cheered like a cheer leader and if Natalie turned around she'd notice Traci looked a lot like one too. She wore a white crop top, short black skirt, and white stockings.
-
[i]"So is this a sport now? Turning nature into a toy?" Natalie inquired with a smirk on her face. First the bushes and now the trees, was there no solace from her destructive path against nature? [/i]
-
Traci laughed a little at Natalie's joke. "I guess so. I mean, it's pretty entertaining to watch. I'd consider myself a fan already. The name's Traci by the way."
-
[i]"Natalie," the woman responded, her tone chipper and friendly as she ran a hand through her hair. The almost pale skin pushed the front part of her dyed purple hair to the right of her head, almost covering the adjacent blue eye but not quite. [/i]
-
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Natalie." Traci's long red pigtails bounced as she hopped in place out of excitement. "It's always nice to make a new friend."
-
[i]"I can agree with that. So what brings a cheerleader out to here?" [/i]
-
"I'm more than just a cheer leader...and I don't have my pom poms on me sadly. I just wander around a lot, y'know? It's the best way to make new friends if you ask me."
-
[i]"I feel you. So what do you do if you aren't just a cheerleader?" [/i]
-
"I'm an assassin. I kill people when my owner demands it." She shrugged and sighed. "Wish I had a choice, but what ever."
-
[i]"Right... Who owns you and why can't you just leave?" [/i]
-
"Umm...I don't think that's something I can share. Sorry. So, why don't you chuck some more trees for fun? Huh?" Traci nervously smiled.
