one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, it's the ten duel
Time goes on. All that is young becomes old. All that is old passes on and makes way for the new. Often time friendships are like this, false claims of friendship between two who continually push each other down for the benefit of the bully. For quite a long time, Molly believed these were the only friends she would have. You see, she lived on the outskirts of a small village, where the nearest neighbor was a mile in one direction. She was raised in a world of isolation, one so full of peace but lacking in the comfort of a family, until Charlie found her. He became like a father to the young viscet and it was through him and his niece that she met her greatest friend. Sure, their friendship was unconventional. Most friendships begin with a handshake or a smile. Theirs began with the bing of a phone and a single message. It all started like this...
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, it's the ten duel
The day started like any other. Molly woke from her sleep, straightened herself up, and prepared herself to face the world. "Alright, Molly," she spoke softly as she tried to build herself up. "It's a big day. We're going to make some good sales today, I just know it." She gave a nod to herself in the mirror before pushing through her bedroom door. Bounding through the hall, she raced down the stairs to the first story of their country home. Tabitha greeted her at the bottom of the stairs. "Yo, Molly." The starry viscet crossed her arms as the other stopped in front of her. Looking expectantly towards the elder, the hound noticed the slight twitch to Taboo's eye that showed her irritation. "Will you do something about that phone of yours?! It's been doing this annoying beeping sound and it's driving me up a wall. I was tempted to throw it out a window."
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, it's the ten duel
Molly rolled her eyes at Tabitha's threats. They were nothing new, though it was unusual that her phone was making sounds. It normally only does that when she gets notifications and she rarely gets enough messages to keep someone up all night. That was always Tabitha. Her band mates almost always sent her messages and sometimes she even received requests from people in big cities! But that was Tabitha, not Molly. No, Molly was a simply girl who lived in simple ways. Her lack of confidence made any social interaction feel like a war-zone and often such interactions ended in enough tragedy to put Romeo and Juliet to shame. There is no way she could get this many messages. Picking up her phone, she quickly unlocked it to see. Her jaw nearly hit the floor. The first thing that she had seen was a message saying 128 new messages. What was going on? Pulling them up she saw multiple numbers that she had never seen before. It was a group chat of complete strangers. It seemed they were discussing some kind of concert or performance. Feeling suddenly out of place, she shakily tried to reply. What should she say? How do you respond to something like this? She couldn't just ignore it. They could be discussing private matters for all she knew. Biting her lip, she clicked to start typing...

molly | 3:52 am
Hello?


taeyeon | 3:52 am


Hi There!


Just the gal we were waiting for.


Would you be available to perform this Saturday?


molly | 3:52 am
Perform?
I’m sorry.
I don’t know what you’re talking about


taeyeon | 3:53 am


But you’re Tabitha, right?


The musician?


With the band and all that?


molly | 3:53 am
Oh dear
I am so sorry
You seem to have the wrong number
I’m Tabitha’s Roommate, Molly


taeyeon | 3:53 am


Dang it Cadence


When I get my hands on her


I bet she gave me the wrong number on purpose!


molly | 3:54 am
Wait
Why would someone do something like that?


taeyeon | 3:54 am


Cadence is a jerk like that


She says she wants me to make more friends


As if I don’t have enough friends already...


molly | 3:54 am
I don’t think it’s possible to have enough friends.


taeyeon | 3:54 am


It is when it’s me.


I’m a model so I’m always working with others.


molly | 3:55 am
I guess that’s understandable
But I still say the more the merrier
…
So you’re a model?
What’s that like?


taeyeon | 3:55 am


It’s nice.


I get to work with a lot of great people


And I find it enjoyable


Most of the time, anyway


I’m finding it more difficult to like right now


molly | 3:55 am
Oh?
Why’s that?


taeyeon | 3:56 am


One of the interns left a lot of the backdrops for my next shoot out


And it’s been raining a lot.


So of course the backdrops are completely ruined


And I’m stuck trying to find something else to use


...


I don’t even know why I’m telling you this.


You’re just a complete stranger who doesn’t even live close to here


molly | 3:56 am
There’s nothing wrong with discussing your problems.
Most of the time, It helps
Especially with getting a different view on the situation


taeyeon | 3:57 am


Seriously?


You're starting to get pretty deep there.


Try not to drown in all your philosophy


molly | 3:57 am
Better deep than salty.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand
Did you have any ideas of what to use?


taeyeon | 3:57 am


None.


I have absolutely none.


molly | 3:57 am
Hmmm…
I may have an idea
But I need to look in to see if they’re still in the city


taeyeon | 3:58 am


Who?


What’s your idea?!


Molly?


molly | 4:01 am
I’m here.
And I just may have a solution to your little backdrop issue.


taeyeon | 4:01 am


You do?


Please, enlighten me.


molly | 4:01 am
In the northern outskirts of the city there’s a flower shop.
They own a nursery and sell out seeds and sprouts to florists
They should also have a greenhouse back there too
I’m sure if you explain the situation, they won’t mind helping you


taeyeon | 4:02 am


omg


that’s absolutely perfect


nothing says fashion like some live flowers.


though, It’s not really what you’d expect for summer fashion


molly | 4:02 am
Summer fashion?
They should have grasses and ferns you could use?


taeyeon | 4:02 am


...That’s true


You know


you’ve been pretty helpful


considering you’re just some random person who’s number I found


molly | 4:03 am
LOL
You’re not half bad yourself


taeyeon | 4:03 am


Well, I’m going to go check out that flower shop


Is it alright if I message you back?


Not to be weird or anything


I understand if you don’t want to


I am a stranger after all


molly | 4:03 am
Calm down, Tae
It’s perfectly fine.
Besides, didn’t you know?
Strangers are friends you have yet to meet


taeyeon | 4:04 am


...


...


Did you just call me Tae?


molly | 4:04 am
I’m so sorry
Do you not like it?
I can change it
It just feels like I’ve known you for so long
I guess I got carried away
I am so sorry


taeyeon | 4:04 am


Whoa, calm down Molly


It’s fine


I just wasn’t expecting it is all


You can call me that



taeyeon | 4:05 am


On one condition that is


molly | 4:05 am
Oh?
What’s that?


taeyeon | 4:05 am


I get to call you Lee.


molly | 4:05 am
Haha XD That’s fine.
It’s only fair after all
Hey, weren’t you going to go get those flowers?


taeyeon | 4:06 am


Oh yeah!

It’s my pleasure!
I’m glad I could help!


taeyeon | 4:16 pm


That place was pretty out there though


How did you know it was there?


molly | 4:16 pm
I’m a florist
My uncle Charlie let me build a greenhouse
Using some of his land that is
And I get a lot of seeds from the flower shop
I plant them in my greenhouse
Then I sell the vegetables

All that fun stuff

molly | 4:17 pm
I’m hoping to make a business of it


taeyeon | 4:17 pm


Wow


Lee


That’s awesome


molly | 4:17 pm
Well it’s no modeling business
But I enjoy it
Plus it pays my rent


taeyeon | 4:18 pm


What more would you want in a job?


Well, I mean


Extra spending cash is nice too


molly | 4:18 pm
I don’t think I’ve really ever had extra
I just take what I get
And whatever’s left gets saved
Or I use it to pay off my uncle for his land


taeyeon | 4:19 pm


...


Never change molly


The world needs more people like you


molly | 4:19 pm
Tae!

A Brief History of KeiNairi

East:
The land, once made desolate and barren by the storm brought through Akiko’s agony, has been restored by the three tailed guardian, Allaster. He has gained the title of Angel of KeiNairi and spends his time now pursuing the beasts which had crept from the crevices of the land during the Easts time of ruin. With the reborn Max by his side, he fights diligently. He has earned respect, and his legend is spreading through the west by crafting birds known is Wherstils.
West:
The land has remained prosperous. Those which reside in it have sought for one to maintain rule over all in order to keep a peace. In their pursuit to fulfil this need, guardians are trained to protect the ruler. This force, called Xirenity (Z-ear-en-it-ee), consists of visclings which were donated or hatched on the island Nurokin. These visclings are raised together in a brotherhood pact. Once their training is complete, they are either sent to the East to help Allaster, remain in the west to act as police, or travel to Isorid, the land where the ruler will reside.

The Force, Xirenity:
A female has never been accepted as a warrior in this elite group. All who are lucky enough to be born into it are accepted without question and raised vigilantly. There have only been a rare few who had been strong or simply lucky enough to be accepted into the force though they were not born within it. Once they are accepted, their trials only begin. They are looked down on by those born into the force and have to fight to earn the respect from their brothers. There are three great leaders of the force. Among them, one was not born into the force, but fought his way in. There are three great laws of life within the force: The brotherhood is stronger than blood and spirit, a guardian graduated from Xirenity shall never have children, and, most importantly, you must always get along with your partner and move as one together.

“Well now that that boring stuff is over, lets move on to the que-“
“No!! I need to tell how we met!!”
“Oh wh- fine! Go ahead.”
“Thank you. Now, young one-“
“You don’t know their age.”
“Do you mind?”
“I am just saying that they could be twice your age so saying young one doesn’t really fit.”
“It sounded cool, okay!”
“That is debatable.”
“You know what?! Just- ugh! Go! Go tell those people your version!”
“Fine.”
“….As I was saying. Now, young… or old ones… I am about to tell you the greatest story you will ever hear in your lives! This is the story of the fearless warrior and her- I mean his sidekick! It all started twelve years ago…”

I was born on the island Nurokin, and was thus taken immediately into Xirenity. The brotherhood was my life blood, all I ever knew and respected in my life, and I loved it. I trained quickly with my brothers and bonded quickly with as many as I could. There was no hierarchy among us, as we were all equals. A thousand bodies moving as one, equal force. It was a beautiful thing and an honor to be a part of.
Like every other trainee, I dreamed fondly of the day I would receive my partner. I imagined a powerful brute of a viscet with muscles that showed through his dark colored feathers. He would have a glower that could melt iron, and a strike that could shatter a skull. We would become invincible, untouchable. We would become one of the greats, work directly under the new ruler of the land and protect them during the day and feast at night! Life would be splendid, and we would walk on a carpet of gold. Never touched, never bothered. Invincible.
I waited in line eagerly on the assignment day. I was a teenager then, and the dreams of my partner were so strong in my head and heart that I had no doubt that I would get anyone or thing lesser than what I had envisioned. My name was called and I walked up before the others, hoping to give off an aura of power and grace while inside I was squealing like a little girl. Then, my partners name was called. I scanned the crowed eagerly, my eyes automatically flickering to the strongest viscets in the bunch, but no one seemed to be moving. The announcer called out the name again, and I listened intently to it this time. Edrea. It didn’t sound like a very masculine name, but I didn’t dismiss it yet. Perhaps he was foreign, or maybe the name meant good luck. I scanned the area around me, hopeful and eager, but still there was no movement from the crowd. I frowned, perplexed at the absence of this Edrea. Perhaps they were out training? The callers voice cut my thoughts off before they could continue. “Ah, there….you…are…” Hesitance? The crowd has gone deathly silent in an instant and the caller seemed caught off guard. Surley this was the brute I had dreamed of, but greater! He was real, and was standing here, just behind me! I whipped around, eagerness gleaming in my eyes. I stared ahead at the viscet who walked up to me from the back of the low platform. Instantly, my features dropped. They were thin, appeared feeble, and looked like I could blow them over with a gentle snore. The worst part? Edrea, was a girl.
“Hold up?! What the heck is this?! Who is she, and where is my partner!” I turned to the caller and bared my fangs, outraged. The caller cleared his throat and gestured to her, giving me a troubled look. This made as little sense to him as it did to me. I turned my gaze to her and advanced, my feathers bristling. She didn’t flinch or shy away, but instead stood and gazed at me with a cold and calm expression. It only seemed to anger me further. “Who are you, and what did you do with my partner?!”
“Sorry to disappoint you, bucko, but I am your partner. If it helps, I am not thrilled either.” She had a sass to her voice that threw me off. I wasn’t used to dealing with girls, especially snappy ones.
After the ceremony, we were sent to our new quarters to rest and get to know our partners further. Needless to say, there was no talking between us and we fell asleep as far from each other as we possibly could. That night, I dreamed of that partner I had wished for laughing at me as I stood next to her. It was pathetic, and it fueled my hatred towards her. Somehow, this was a mistake, and it was her fault. If I could expose her, get her kicked out, then my dream partner would come to me. I had a new mission, and I planned to fulfil it quickly.
We were sent to train with the others the following morning so we could adjust to our new partners. The others worked fluidly and efficiently, but I refused to work with her. Because of her, we were clumsy and disgraceful. A laughing stock. I rushed at the wooden dummy at the same time she did. I snapped out the order for her to back off, and she simply gave me this look that made my blood boil in my veins. I increased my speed and felt delighted as she feel back behind me. I returned my attention to the target, and then, without warning, the she-cet jumped up, used my back as a launch pad, and hurled herself at the enemy. The force of her jumping off me threw me to the ground in a chaotic heap. I snapped my head up and snarled just as she tore the head off the dummy and took all the credit for my work. I flicked my curled tail and glowered at her. This would not continue any longer. Tonight, I acted.
While she was asleep, I snuck out of our quarters and made way to the captain’s quarters. I addressed the guard formally and explained my mission. He promptly let me in at the statement of her name, and hope flickered brighter inside me. They were on my side here, too. She would be gone by morning.
I entered the captain’s room and stiffened, my ears raising to alertness as his gazed rested on me. “Sir, I have come to file a complaint about my partner, Edrea.”
Something gleamed in his eyes, and he leaned back. “Carry on.”
“Sir, she is untrained and reckless. She is holding me back and is a danger to my safety. If I were to enter into true combat with her, we would both die in an instant.”
To my surprise, the captain chuckled. “Oh, you poor, poor, ignorant soul.” My feathers fluffed a little in shock. “You know, she came to me this afternoon to file a complaint on you.”
“What?”
“Yep. She said you are uncooperative and refuse to listen to her ideas. You are so obsessed with being in control that you forget the situation at hand and endanger her life as well as your own.” He stood up. “After seeing your performance today, I would agree. Son, do you know why she is here?”
“No, sir.” My voice was quiet from shock.
“There are two classes of viscets who are here. Ones who are born here, the lucky ones, and those who fight to get in. You were born here. You were privileged enough to never have to struggle to earn the respect you have now. Her? She fought her way in. She battled countless opponents and worked her way to the top, even spoke with one of the top three. All of that was simply to be accepted. Now, she has to fight to earn respect, and she is stuck with you, a little cry baby who can’t handle the thought that she is his teammate. If you feel that she is inadequate then I will gladly switch out your teammate, though the strike will be given to her rather than you. She has been trying to work with you, while you just his and moan. Now then. I will give you a week to see her as she truly is. At the end of this week, if you still deem her inadequate, return to me and I will change your partner. Goodnight.”
I went home that night seething and confused. I fell asleep as soon as I laid down and did not so much as glance in her direction.”

“Ah… a.. bad time… I know which one Rine will tell you, so I will tell you a different one.
We had just been assigned to the East and were making our way to the first monster, a brute with twelve jagged rock-like spines coming from its back. Its hind legs were small, but its forelegs were massive and held most of its weight. It walked in a way similar to a gorilla and used its massive clawed hands to clobber and destroy anything it did not like. As we ran to its location, Edrea was calling out strategies to me and I was giving her advice on them. We decided to rush at the beast from behind and wound the legs as much as we could before we were forced to retreat. From there, I would launch Edrea up to its head and then sprint straight for its chest to draw its attention away from her. She would take out the eyes, and I would hit it full force in the chest to knock it down. Once it was on the ground, things would be a breeze. It was a flawless plan, and would work without a doubt so long as we stayed focused and concentrated.
As we neared the beast, I felt my stomach shrink slightly within me. It was massive, far bigger than I had envisioned, and its colossal jaws held a mangled array of dagger and spear sized fangs. My stride stuttered a little, but I pressed forward diligently, keeping pace with Edrea. We had to stick to the plan, or die trying. As we neared it, Edrea rounded off to strike the left leg while I increased my speed to reach the right leg as fast as I could. When I collided with the appendage, I instantly sank my fangs and enhanced claws into the beast, but felt fear course through my blood. I was hardly making a scratch. Across from me, I watched as Edrea struck the leg as hard as she could and then began to savagely attack as quickly as she could. I forced myself to move and attacked the leg in a pace slower than hers, though I was trying my best to keep up. After a bit, the beasts arm began to reach for its legs, and so we sprinted away from it to prepare for the second attack. I stopped a few meters from the beast and snarled at it. Behind me, Edrea ran further before making a wide loop. She shouted at me, and I began to run towards the beast while she ran at me from behind. I stiffened my shoulders and prepared to launch her and rush for the chest. As her paw fell on my back, I launched her up, and suddenly things seemed to move in slow motion. I was close to the front of the beast now and could see just how massive this thing was. There was only a small trickle of blood on its legs, a sign that we had hardly done any damage to the thing at all. Fear rushed through me as a thought came into my head. I can’t do this. I cannot knock this thing over, I can hardly make a scratch. We are going to die here today. I am not ready for that, I am not ready to die yet! I drove my paws into the ground and came to an abrupt halt. As I did, things snapped back into real time once more. Above me, a scream sounded and blood fell on my snout. I looked up, and my eyes widened in horror as I saw the beast holding Edrea in its jaws. She had managed to avoid the points of the fangs, but the razor sharp edges were too close for comfort. I stared at her, frozen in terror as she struggled to break free. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t do anything. I was useless, and I was next. This thing was going to kill Edrea, and I would only be able to watch.
Then, something unexpected happened. Flames shot at the beasts cheek with such force that Edrea was knocked from its grasp. She struck the ground hard and cried out in pain while the flames continued their brutal attack. I rushed to her side, frantic and terrified. While I scrambled to grab the bandages and work to stop the bleeding, the flames above me stopped and in their place, a dog made of fire and ash leapt from the ground and struck the beasts left eye. It roared and shook its head, revealing its throat, and that is when he showed up. He was muscular and powerful, everything that I had imagined him to be. Behind him, his three tails waved while he focused on the target. The golden parts of his body almost seemed to glow as the flames started to form in his jaws. In an instant, he opened his mouth and the flames rocketed out, striking the beast in the head and throwing it over. The Angel stopped the fire as it fell, and shouted out to the dog. A moment later, the beast burst into black smoke and was sucked into the earth. The dog sat down, scratched behind its ear, and then vanished in a cloud of sparks.
The Angel turned his gaze to me and approached with a solemn look in his eyes. “How bad is it?”
“S-she should be okay…” I was awestruck and still filled with adrenaline and fear. The words could hardly form in my mouth and my jaw trembled.
He walked up to Edrea and knelt down, examining the wounds. Then, a small flame appeared in his paw and he pressed it against her cuts. Slowly, the skin became reattached and her wounds were healed. “It should be enough for her. She will still bear the scars, but her feathers will grow over them.” He turned his gaze to me. “Listen, when you are in battle one of the most important things is to not lose your head like you did back there. You risked her life and your own. Trust in your partner, and you will make it through in the end.”

After that day, Edrea had a hard time fully trusting me. She would be hesitant with plans for quite some time, and I had to fight all over again to regain her full trust. This is one of the worst memories to me as it was the day that I had almost lost my best friend and only sister. In battle, the Angels words still ring clear in my head, and I cling to his advice to be able to be helpful to Edrea, rather than a burden.

[milo.]

sorry for extending this again, but there's no way we're going to be able to judge these for a couple days. So instead of letting them sit for no reason, you have 48 hours to edit or anything else you need to do. This extension is only for those already entered in the contest. No further entries please.

thank you for your patience and understanding.

[milo.]

lmao the wait for this one to be judged was absolutely ridiculous, and we super apologise for that. It's been a crazy couple of weeks

This is going to be sweet, simple, and to the point since you guys have been waiting a billion years. we'd like to first say that this was basically a tie between howling/9'ers and alex/cyber. This was honestly an incredibly hard competition to judge, but the little art and the format of the form was something we've never seen before? So, we thought that was super awesome. Alex and cyber, your form was super awesome and really made an impact. The story between the two was an emotional rollercoaster and that's our jam right there. On the flip side, the upbeat conversations between the two really showed how close they really were. In the end, I'm happy to see it worked out for these two cuties!

howling and 9'ers, we'd like to offer you both RU's for your absolutely breathtaking forms! You guys ... The writing in your forms was unbelievable. This was a very tough call to make. 9'ers! Shoot me a message about the RU and I'll get that done ASAP!

and wolfen/wolfwithwings, we'd like to award you guys with a stub each! Your stories were very entertaining, as always !!

Thank you all for entering. And I'm super sorry it took so long to judge!
