~Arc~

Arc sat perched upon a pile of rubble a short ways away from the crumbling building. Octuna's men howled in pain all around him, many retreated back from whence they came. Arc however felt nothing but an odd tickling sensation on his skin. So this was the enemy Octuna had sent them to "scout" which, as far as Arc was concerned had actually meant sabotage.
Arc sighed and stood up. He would have stood out quite clearly among the crowd, but he didn't care. He was able to get a glimpse of the figures standing upon the roof. An anthrod with deep purple fur stood playing her flute, this was the notorious Golden Dragon? Arc shook his head and turned his back to the ruin. He had had his doubts about Octuna from the very beginning, but now he was more certain than ever that he had been lying. This golden dragon was no tyrant. If anything she was a mother protecting her own, nothing more nothing less.
Even so Octuna had promised to help him find the anwsers he sought, it would be foolish to turn against him because of such trivial thoughts. After all Octuna had given him so much already. "Come men, we retreat for tonight!" He shouted to the others who followed his order without the slightest hesitation, so eager were they to escape the pain of the dragons song.
Arc gave one last glance over his shoulder at the vixen before leaping down from his perch, leaving the soft fluttering of his robes as the only thing left to signal his presence.

Red Rabbit leaped to the roof as well though her jumping skills were incredible only taking about three leaps to reach the top. Though when she Did Octuna's men were already gone and Liliana looked rather downhearted. " Red Rabbit could call off the games, the garden agrees" Red Rabbit stated a bit deterred by the intrusion " No that is fine Bunny, he was here to gain angle, use for Black mail in games..... he know how I feel about the children" she said seeming disappointed in herself. Red rabbit stood speechless unsure how to help the Demon Lord with her predicament, but before any words came to mind the vixen spoke again. " He will use this, even if he has to use one of his own..... Rune" She said the small neko boy leaping to his feet his tail puffing up as she startled him from his daze watching the men run. He flattened his ears and held his tail with both hands " Yes Lady Liliana?" he asked as if he had been caught doing something wrong " You first game will not be a safe one I would ask you sit this one out, However I know that you are strong and will be good test of training for you" she said squatting down in front of him placing her hands on his shoulders like a supportive parent. " But don not use your dart trick against another unless someones life is in danger, I know how it feels in those moments, but remember every life has meaning no matter how small it may seem to our eyes" She spoke a smile lighting her face as she stood running a hand through his hair " Now, go get sleep, long day ahead" she said with a flick of her large fluffy tail. " yes ma'ma!" he piped proudly racing back down the stairs and out of sight. Liliana then turned to the Other who stood on the roof " Paradox correct? ears fool me sometimes" she asked her Russian accent still flowing from her mouth. She gazed off into the distance of where the men had run " Tell me, what troubles you most"she asked almost as if she didn't expect an answer.

Rune had made it almost all the way down the stirs when he fell toppling down the last couple of steps. he got to his feet rubbing the back of his head" Ow' should have watched my step" he said before catching scent of a new being in the room he must have missed going up the stairs. though this one smelled like the other new people so he didn't worry much. " Hey! Whats your name?"Rune called out in the direction of the scent, and though he couldn't see the person he made it seemed as if he could.

The children slept soundly unaware of what had conspired though the sweet melody seemed to still waft through the walls like a sweet sent left behind after a candle had been blown out.

Walter-
When the headset when on it was like he was in a whole new world where he was in control of everything around him. The land was built to form around his every move, to adapt as he adapted. But never before had he ever taken the headset off to find him self still in the world he had been playing in. As the boy looked about the building a bit baffled as to how he had gotten there in the first place, he couldn't help but think maybe while playing he had died and gone to heaven. It all looked so real! So...magical! The voice of a child shattered his thoughts though as he turned to see whom was speaking to him. "Hello?" He called out seeing no one around him.

Javier (Blink)-
Still yawning he found himself a rather nice looking bench along one of the buildings. This wasn't the first time he had slept outside nor did he think it his last. With that he curled up on the bench and fell asleep.

~Johan~

Johan had to blink twice to be sure he wasn't seeing things. Another person had just materialized in the middle of the room. It was once again a boy who looked about his age but a bit taller and built like an acrobat, not a runner like Johan. The boy looked around in a daze as if he was dreaming, a mistake Johan himself had made just earlier that same day.
Taking a tentative step out of the shadows Johan spoke to the boy. "You're not dead, and you're not dreaming either. Believe me, I thought so too."

~Arc~

Arc stood quietly by the fireside in front of the horde of men placed under his command by Octuna. Though they had been instructed to be silent and await their masters arrival they grumbled under their breath and shoved each other irritatedly. Arc let out a small sigh and watched as the flames danced around in the basin of water like a beacon in the nights silence. The basin stood at the bottom of the stairs that led to Octuna's base, a great cathedral like building made of solid slabs of pale grey stone.
The men at his back finally fell silent as the great wooden doors of the estate opened and a figure emerged and descended the steps. Octuna had arrived, and he didn't look happy.

Main Hall
- Rune
The small boy flicked his ears and came into the light so he could be see.The Moonlight illuminated his small stature and lose fitting clothes made him seem more Innocent and child like than before. The Two that stood before him were a lot alike in someways, but also totally different, one smelled like the garden, and the boy who had spoken last was obviously from the other worlds. No matter the little one decided it best to introduce himself " Hiya! I'm Rune " He said to the bout before turning to the boy with the head set " I think Red Rabbit is up on the roof with Lady Liliana It is possible the she got the GCN to summon you. " he said quite knowledgeably before turning to the other boy ' You were Talking to Lady Liliana Earlier weren't you? That means you are gonna help us win the game right?"

Roof
- The Golden Dragon & Red Rabbit
Liliana smiled " Vell No need for vorry, here in Dragon Song ve are all the same, all past is forgotten, Tis Place of new beginning" she sighed and looked out on the horizon it would only be a few more hours till day break and the beginning of their training. " Besides, Only von who is Monster in Tiny Garden is me, or at least they think that is vath I am" she said her voice almost saddening.

Red Rabbits ears drooped " oh Liliana No need for that nonsense Red Rabbit thinks you are a lovely person !" She said trying to cheer her friend up, but to no avail. so she decided to head back down the stairs. she walked slowly down the stairs and entered the Main hall with her head down not bothering to see the two standing with Rune.



SO.... I'm trying a new writing style with Liliana let me know what you guys think, also if you need background garden info for you garden raised characters fell free to PM Me ^.^

|Paradox|

Paradox sighed "We may forgive the past, but should never forget it, we learn from the past, grow from it, like a flower, and once we accept who we are, and what we are, our flowers can bloom, however if we just bring ourselves down they will wilt" She spoke aloud "Or at least that's what my old friend told me, he was usually right.."

|Owen|

Owen was in his shadow form, lurking around Rune Is this really the kid i'm supposed to take? He doesn't seem too special He thought as he merged with Rune's shadow
