Animagus Chronicles, Part 10

Lee gagged. "What?" asked Lyre. "I can't handle too much girly stuff." Lee responded. "Oh. I would have thought- whatever." "OK."  Bliss looked over them with her shady silver eyes. "Show me your wings." "Yes, m'lady." Lyre blinked and silver-blue wings just popped on him. Lee closed his eyes, and next thing he knew dark silver wings appeared on him. Bliss smiled, showing her beautiful pearly-white teeth. She now had purely-white wings. Lee smiled again. "What are you doing, collecting Prophecy people? What are your mounts?" Lee was twisted. "What?" "She means how are we getting here, idiot." Lyre whispered. "Oh, m'lady we are traveling by Animagus." Bliss looked enraged. "What?!" "We're traveling by a-animagus, m'lady." "Do you know what happens when you are killed in Animagus state?" "Uh, you die?" "NO! Well, yes, but especially for you that is dangerous, when you are killed, the King Dragon ceases to be reincarnated." Bliss pursed her lips and looked sympathetic. Her hair was flashing from silver to gold to icy white. "Why, m'lady, is your hair changing colors?" She scowled. "No reason. Why don't I help you find Darryn?" "Darryn? Isn't he the lightning guy?" She sighed into the distance. "Yes, he is my brother." "What? Lightning and ice are brother and sister? Isn't that, you know, redundant?" She growled at him. "Well yes, but we were normal until the first animagus granted us power." "First animagus?" "Yes. Let me tell you the story. Once there was a girl. She was granted power by the moon, or something like that. When this happened, she turned into a creature so legendary it was unstoppable. Something tragic happened though." "What?" Asked Lee. "She was struck by lightning." Lee's jaw dropped. "She was healed, then she drowned. Yet she was healed again, but got burnt by fire. She was healed yet again, but then she was frozen in ice. She was healed for the very last time. She got lost in the shadows. She escaped, but was never the same. She turned fire, ice, water, lightning and shadows into the 5 prophecy speakers." "What? But what about light?" said Lee. "Light? Her Animagi transformation never worked. She wasn't involved." "Oh." said Lee. "Wait, what about dark?" "Do I need answer that?" "No." "Oh, and I have the sacred lark." She whistled and a silver lark came out from behind her. "Why is it sacred?" "I dunno. It acts pretty normal." Bliss said, "Well, shalt we go?" "Sure, why not?" They left. Lyre was ripping open a bag of Hippo's Chips. "Let's go." Lyre said, shoving chips into his mouth. "Wait. How should we know what he looks like?" He shoved another chip in his mouth. "I have a photo." Bliss said. She handed Lyre the picture. "Wow." He said. "He looks pretty impressive." "He was always to 'over looks' he liked to look different." Bliss said while scowling. Lee completely ignored the fact that they were both pretty 'over looks' whatever that meant. He looked at the photo and saw what she meant. He had lightning symbols on his face and had a black polo shirt and an obey the lightning pendant. His hair was black and he had a gold streak running through. He had gold wings and gold eyes. His head had a lightning cloud circling it. Lee gawked. Bliss smiled. Lyre said, "Let's go."

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
