Zosima knew they where still there, know that she knew she had a reaper following her she could feel his presence.. Kaleo was right it was best to stay away from Reapers.. For what she is was breaking the law of death. But it also seemed this reaper did not understand what he is or at least did not understand what to do. Or could be both. Zosima was not gonna panic though, she was gonna have her relaxing day even if she did have a Reaper following her around. As Kaleo always said when in dealing with a enemy it was always best to be calm and act as if nothing was wrong. So she went back to window shopping and shopping. Zosima still had no idea why Kaleo wanted her to do such human things.. Though as she shopped around she did find a few things she liked as well as things she thought her sister would like. All the while ignoreing Izzy and Amara.
Amara nodded [/color]as Izzy spoke though still had no idea what he was going on about. But she was not gonna leave him alone, what kind of teamate would she be if she did? But as far as she could tell this girl looked like a high schooler out on a day around the city. " So how long do you plan on following her?" Amara asked after a good few hours following this girl around.

"I...I...Should I be? I don't know. I...I have to rest for a little while." Izzack managed, stopping suddenly. As the woman began to get some distance on them, he noticed that the pervasive emotions were retreating. "That's b-better. They aren't as loud now. When that woman was nearby, I...I got this...it was like fireworks in my skull. Explosions of hate, pain, sorrow, regret, all these horrifying emotions, and it was shadowed over by this deep sense of dread. That woman...she scares me, Amara. More than any group of people can. Are you sure that you didn't feel anything? I still feel it now, that bundle of unease, lying in the dark corners of my brain." he said, hoping that he could explain it better. There was no good way to describe the magnitude of these emotions. No, there was nothing that could even come close. He felt like a bloodhound, like he would be able to track this woman down from anywhere, just based on the slight changes in intensity of that tiny little bundle. He hoped he wouldn't have to try, however. What he wanted most of all was to find out why this was happening, and then avoid whatever it was that caused this for the rest of his life.

Amara had no idea how to help Izzy, she had no idea about magic or anything about reapers besides the fact they are said to help the dead cross to the other side... Soon a idea came to her and she gasped, but she kept the idea to herself as Izzy spoke. Right now he needed someone to listen rather then talk, as he went on Amara started to feel really bad for Izzy. Even though that girl had helped them she had really shaken him up. When he asked if she had felt the same emotions as he had Amara shook her head. "No, I didn't feel any of those emotions.. Izzack.. This is just a guess but.. I think you are the only one who felt it. She said you are a reaper right? And from what I know about Reapers is that they help the dead cross over right? I kinda don't wanna say this but... Could that girl be some sort of undead? That may explain why you reacted the way you did." Amara said looking very worried.

"A r-reaper? Isn't there only the one? A-also, he doesn't really exist, I mean, I don't think he does. It wouldn't make sense, and I mean, I may look like the grim reaper, but I mean I...you know I, well, it's just a costume! It just looks like that!" Izzack stammered. That conclusion made too much sense to him, despite how much he did not want it to. He struggled hard to think of an explanation, any explanation. Perhaps he had activated a latent ability that allowed him to read the emotions of others! But that didn't explain why he only felt these things coming from her. Maybe she didn't know she was sending these emotions his way! But then why did she seem to be hiding something when he confronted her? Theory after theory sped through his mind, yet none of them provided an answer that he both liked, and explained properly what was happening. "S-say you were right...About the dead thing! N-not the first part. Say you were right, and the girl is undead...what should we do about it?" he asked with a surprising intensity. He was conflicted. He wanted this whole ordeal to end, but he couldn't think of a solution that did not involve running away, something that heroes weren't supposed to do.

Now Amara was really unsure that she was right seeing as Izzy said he was not a reaper. But then why did that girl call him that? And why was he feeling those emotions??? The more Amara thought about it the more it made her head hurt. She was no expert in this field she was a computer whiz not magic person! When Izzy then asked if that girl is undead and what they should do Amara frowned as she rubbed the back of her head. "I.. I don't know Izzy.. I mean Izzack. I'm more of a tech person then I am magic.. Uhhh.... Oh! I know someone that may be able to help! Fane tells me about her all the time! I have not met her yet but she sure to know more about magic then anyone else. Come on she lives in the forest come with me!" Amara said as she then started to take off to the forest. Not bothering to tell Izzy who she was thinking off because she feared he would not go if she said this person is a unicorn.

Izzack was hesitant to follow Amara at first. Given how the conversation had been going, he wasn't sure he'd like whatever this magical expert of hers would have to say. However, going to the forest would mean getting further away from the woman. In the end, that was the deciding factor, and so he was off. "Who is this woman, anyway? For that matter, who is this 'Fane'?" he asked, more to fill the air than anything. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in this situation.
As he followed Amara, Izzack certainly did notice a further drop in the emotions coming from that strange woman, until the point where it vanished completely. It felt as if he had just left a building packed with angry people, and walked onto a dead street. Everything felt...off, perhaps he was just starting to get used to the oppressive feelings. He couldn't help but feel as if he had neglected his duties, though. It was as if he had failed by not doing more to stop, or perhaps aid, the girl. What was done was done, however, and he felt it would be hard to gain the courage to go back, even if he wanted to.

Ok good it seemed Izzy was willing to follow her, though he had to start asking questions.. Of course though she did raise a eye brow when he asked about Fane. She was sure Taylor spoke to him about her.. Oh well she could just tell him again. " Fane is a witch from another planet that died, she is not the only one who came here ether. Many people of her planet came here though most where scattered around the world. Fane and her friend where lucky to land here together." Amara said as she just retold Izzy what Fane had told her. " Now Fane is part of the The Guardians. Wanting to help protect this world as if it where her home world" Amara said with a smile as she kept walking though again not saying anything about the person she was wanting Izzy to meet.

"A...err...witch? So, something like me then? Or...is this a different kind of witch? I'm afraid I don't know how these things translate between worlds, sorry." Izzack asked, seeming more relaxed since he had escaped. That did not mean he was entirely calm, of course. This situation, while much preferred to it's alternative, seemed rather suspicious to Izzack, as if he was walking into a scenario that he would not enjoy the outcome of. "If this Fane is part of your group, why isn't her friend, if I may ask? Why does she live in the forest, instead of helping you fight?" he asked. He didn't want to implicate this friend of theirs in anything, but he couldn't help but wonder about it, and when he wondered, he tended to worry, and when he worried, he tended to panic, and when he panicked, well, best not to deal with such things. Best to ask before such concerns came into play.

Amara listened to Izzy's questions but she had no idea answer him all this magic stuff and world jumping was way over her head. So she just reminded silent as she walked hoping Izzy would just trust her. " I.. Ugh Just follow me to the forest ok? I;m not the best person to be able to answer these questions." Amara said as she walked. She wanted to help Izzy and the only way she knew how was to take Izzy to Lani the Unicorn that came here with Fane. It did not take long to get to the forest that was on the outskirts of the city. Amara then walked in and started to make her way where the lake that was in the middle of the forest. Once she got there Amara stood by the lake, "Lani! We need some help. I'm Amara a friend of Fane." Amara called out. Though now she just hoped the Unicorn would come out seeing as they had never met before.

As it was, Izzack had little choice. He couldn't back out now, and so he followed, figuring that he'd have to trust Amara. He'd have to trust someone. "Lani...well, at least we have a name now, isn't this the same clearing I met Taylor in? Maybe...if not it's similar, but why would this friend of Fane's be here? Is she a hermit? Perhaps that wouldn't be a bad idea..." Izzack thought to himself as he looked around. Before long, though, he snapped to his senses. "Ah! And I-I am Iz-z-z...Izzack, I-I-I came with Amara...sorry." he mumbled. Why did things always have to turn out this way? There wasn't even a person this time, yet he still got tongue tied. He was going to have to do something about that, lest it haunt him later. One can't be a proper hero without at least a few sociable skills. "I...I heard you can help me." he managed to say, a little louder this time around

It did not take long for a answer, there was a gentle breeze that picked up and a small flash of light. Now in the clearing a white horse started to fade into view though this was no normal horse upon its forehead was a long sharp horn. When the unicorn become fully visible Amara let out a gasp, "wow! Fane told me she was a unicorn this is amazing!" Amara said with joy. Never in her life did she ever think she would meet one! But then again she is friends with a half dragon so of course there has to be a unicorn! Though realizing she was fan girling a bit Amara blushed and calmed herself down. " Ahh yes! Izzack needs help I thought you would be able to help him Lani Ma'am!" Amara said with a weak smile and rubbed the back of her head.
Atalanta gave a smile and nodded, "it is a pleasure to meet you, Amara and Izzack." The Unicorn said in a friendly soft and inviting voice as she looked at the two before her. It was normally just Fane that would come to visit so this was a nice surprise. When Amara said it was Izzack that needed help she shifted her gaze to him. By looking at him she could tell what he was. So this world has Grim reapers as well though this one seemed to be a new one. " What are you seeking child of death?" Atalanta asked not knowing that Izzack did not yet know what he is.

"What." Izzack seemed taken back by the sudden appearance of the unicorn. This was Fane's friend? But she was...why could this unicorn talk? Was that a normal thing unicorns could do? He hadn't been trained much on unicorns other than their...practical uses in alchemy, though that was probably not a very good subject to begin a conversation with. Noticing that he had not said anything since his original outburst, Izzack cleared his throat. "It is a...err...pleasure to meet you as well." he said, not knowing what was about to come his way.
"N-no no! It's just the robe! I...err, people have been using different terminology today. B-B-BUT! No! It is just a robe, and I-I-I, well, I don't know what I am seeking. Things are going weird, and I have these feelings, on the edge of becoming voices, in my head, and...I don't know, Amara said you could help me...maybe I'm just going mad. That might be it, sorry for taking up your time. Sh-shall we go, Amara?" Izzack scrambled for a proper reply. He didn't even know why he asked Amara if she wanted to leave, he was the one that wanted out of here. He was beginning to feel claustrophobic, like he was trapped, and he couldn't leave. Something was keeping him from just running, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly.

Amara had almost forgotten about Izzy as she looked at Lani, even though she was more into tech when she was younger she had wanted to meet a unicorn so this was like a dream come trie! Though she was snapped out of her daze when Izzy said her name and seemed to want to leave. " What? Oh nonononono you are not leaving Izzy!" Amara said not bothering to correct herself for saying the little nickname. She then moved to block Izzy as she shook her head. "Izzy just ask her! Also I think it may be clear you are a Grim Reaper if two people called you that in one day. I may not know anything about magic but I would guess not knowing what you can do is a bad thing. You need all the knowledge you can get." Amara said and just hoped she had not stepped over any bounds with Izzy.
Atalanta said nothing at first as Amara and Izzack spoke, it was clear the young man did not know he was a reaper or did not know what he could do. And it seems Amara brought him here to seek help. " If you wish to know the powers of a Reaper I can help you. I have studied many forms of magic even the magic of death. Amara is correct, when it comes to magic it is best to learn all you can or else danger will befall you and everyone else around you. " Atalanta said as she looked at the scared looking Reaper. " The Robe and sythe you have are tools of a Grim Reaper, allowing you to pass between the world of the living and the dead and to help those who have died that have lost their way." Atalanta said in clam caring voice as if she where a teacher speaking to a scared and nervous student.

This was the news that Izzack had been afraid to hear. As soon as the words left Atalanta's mouth, he seemed to deflate, fear and nerves disappearing in the blink of an eye. "So...I suppose people are right to fear me after all. I mean, I kill people...damn it." he whispered weakly. The man seemed to have no fight left in him. He didn't even seem sad, only empty. "So, I suppose there's no sense in avoiding it anymore. I was close to a strange woman today. She filled my mind with all these emotions. They were all horrid, and above them all, there was a sense of dread, as if something were wrong. Could you please tell me what that means? Does it mean I need to k...kill her?" he asked. He looked Atlanta right in the eyes, utterly calm, even at the idea of killing someone. If this was what he was supposed to be, then he couldn't fight fate. He had already tried, and all his hero work proved such an idea to be futile. Might as well do his best at what he could do.

Atalanta blinked and tilted her head when the young reaper seemed to think he that he killed people. She nickerd softly and shook her head. "That is not what I said young one. Many people die without a Grim reaper by their side. I said Reapers guide the lost souls to the other side not kill the living." Atalanta corrected softly as if she where once again a teacher speaking to her student. The unicorn then fell silent as Izzy when went on to talk about a girl he and Amara happened to meet. Though she had a hard time understanding what he was trying to explain. Though if he reacted to her is such a way she must not be alive. Then Amara jumped in, " Yeah she looked like a normal girl nothing wrong about her. She even helped us take down a really huge bad guy. But Izzack for some reason reacted badly to her.. I.. I think she may be some sort of undead.." Amara said trying not to shudder at the thought.
"Hmm..." Atalanta hummed as she thought. Indeed for a reaper to react that way the girl must no longer be counted as the living.. But to look like a regular human... Hmm there was no such spell back on her home planet.. "I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with such a spell.. Though this girl may be the undead and perhaps Izzack felt the emotions the girl was feeling. Though if she was willing to help you both she may not be evil ether. I don't suggest doing anything till you get the whole story young one. If there is someone in this city that could so such a spell I would suggest looking for this person. Or if you wish try and track down the girl again and see if she would be willing to talk. I'm sorry this is the best I can suggest. This world is still very new to me so I am still learning as well. " Atalanta said with a soft sigh.
