Sutaki: N/A
Ember: Champ II
Em — Today at 7:02 PMEmber leaned back against the large, weeping willow in the center of the forest. She had heard of Sutaki - an up and coming in the world of fighter… and Ember wanted to test her skills. The half-Fae had set up three trials - one of intelligence, combat, and charisma throughout the forest. She sent out a telepathic message to the girl, hoping that she would hear it. Reach me, and I will know you are worthy to begin training under the Fae, if you so wish.
Sticks — Today at 7:21 PM
As she commanded an idealized army of fighters, her dad had bestowed her much prestige for the mission she was on succeeding so far. The necklace around her neck tightened. "Su, we have a telepathic message coming in. It doesn't appear to be a normal one, though... I will relay it to you." Inimicus let the message come in, the pain from the magic that suffused her soul once again giving her a burning sensation. "Inimicus, take me to the forest." They then took to the air and headed in the direction of the forest. Suddenly, she began to fall, slowly at first, before hitting the ground, Inimicus' powers disappearing temporarily. "What happened?" "I'm sorry, Su. The magic of this forest is holding me back a bit... I need to rest for a while." and her pain faded as well. Standing up, she dusted herself off. "Alright, who's doing that? STOP."
Em — Today at 7:39 PM
A Small smile crossed the half-Fae's face as the words came in. It seemed that Sutaki had heard her message - good. The half-Fae wasn't attempting to be malevolent in any way, but rather attempting to test the girl's powers and see if she had the skills everyone had said she did. Once again, she sent another telepathic message down to the girl, her voice friendly and kind.
Sutaki, I am Ember. I am a High Fae that resides on the planet of Neraides. I believe you have great potential, and I wish to test your skills. Inimicus is fine - I just wanted to make sure that you rely only on your own skills.

Suddenly, she began to look around. She was stuck in a forest, and she heard as if the trees were talking. "Ember...? The Ember? I saw on TV, there was a fight on that planet. You are pretty strong. You should join forces with us. Inimicus is my friend. We rely on each other. But... what test would that be? Are you asking for a fight?" She said with clenched fists.
Em — Today at 8:49 PM
Ember smiled and leaned her head back, closing her eyes. She'd had no idea that her battle had been broadcasted on television, but... it was nice to know she was gaining recognition. She, herself, had come very far, after all. She once again spoke through the telepathic link. I wouldn't mind doing so, joining forces. Yet, I have to make sure you are ready for the dangers that not only Neraides has, but the dangers that the galaxy as a whole shows. Are you ready for your first test?
Sticks — Today at 9:07 PM
"I assure you my strength is plenty. But if you must test me..." She grabbed her blackish hair and pulled her noetics apart, tying them into two separate buns. "I'm ready."
Em — Today at 9:10 PM
Ember smiled and sat down under the trunk of the tree. Before Sutaki's eyes, the forest began to weave and craft itself, finally showing two different paths. One was dark, hard to navigate, and full of howls and whispers. The other was bright and had laughter coming from it. One of these paths will be perilous, and have monsters you'll have to fight. The other will not, and you should be able to make it through perfectly fine. Choose wisely. With that, Ember leaned back against the trunk once again, waiting for the girl's decision.
Sticks — Today at 9:16 PM
Su walked ahead, deciding to go through the path with laughter, wondering if the other would be the red herring. As she went through, she wondered who would be here, if not some wily creature trying to mislead Su.
