Sapphire smiles when she sees Septimus emerge from his room the next morning. "Oh, good! You're awake!" she giggles as she hands him a plate with eggs, sliced apples, and a muffin. "I made your favorites!" she teases. Septimus's stomach growls. He takes the plate and sits at the table in the dining hall. Sapphire gives him an odd look. "What's DragonFyre?" she asks. Sep chokes on his eggs.
"What?!" he splutters. She sits on the table and swings her legs back and forth.
"You heard me. What is DragonFyre? I got the info from Sugar, who heard it from Rabbitleap, who read it Leo's old diary." Sapphire teased. Sep hangs his head.
"Why do you girls gossip so much?" he moans. Sapphire pushes him playfully.
"And that's not even the best part, apparently, TrailBlaiser has had quite a few guys in her life. There was a long list of guys on a page in the diary labeled DragonFyre. We assumed that it was code for ex-boyfriends. You might have some competition." Septimus glared at her.
"If you had any idea what was going on, you wouldn't be so perky." Septimus snaps. Sapphire hops off the table.
"No need to be so snippy. But, then again, I'd be upset too if my boyfriend cheated on me." Sapphire remarks. Septimus raises an eyebrow. "Of course, Terrance won't talk to me, so I guess there's no possibility of that if I don't even have a boyfriend." Sapphire sighs. Septimus drinks the water before him.
"Be happy you still have a chance for love. Besides, Wes would be much better for you. Terrance spends too much time in front of the mirror." Sep retorts. Sapphire shrugs.
"If you say so." She starts to walk away, but Sep stops her. She looks at him in surprise.
"Do you want another mission?" he asks quickly. Her eyes widen.
"Heck yeah!" she squeals. "Where to?" Septimus smiles for the first time since he returned from Rampant.
"The Alpha Realm." Sep replies.
"But," Sapphire gasps, "that's forbidden!" Septimus shakes her head.
"Only without good reason." He counters. Sapphire narrowed her eyes.
"What's the reason?" she whispers. She's shaking with anticipation and fear.
"DragonFyre. We need to find her." he answers. Sapphire's jaw drops.
"DragonFyre's a person?" she gasps. Septimus nods. "Where is she?" Septimus walks over to the Realm Scanner, which is used to locate targets of missions. He enters about a dozen passwords, each nearly twelve characters long, until the scanner brings up a map. The cross-hairs focus in on each section of the map, and narrows the search each time by magnifying the picture, until it stops on a large building. Sapphire looks terrified. "Is that what I think it is?" she whispers, horrified.
"Yes," Septimus replies solemnly, "high school."

DragonFyre
Septimus steps through the portal and back into the main hall of RTHQ. Sapphire spots him and runs up to hug him. "You're back!" she exclaims. Septimus takes a moment to register.
"Er, yes, I'm back." he sighs after Sapphire releases him. She looks behind him, as the portal closes.
"Um, where's TrailBlaiser?" she asks. Septimus cringes.
"Oh, she had to finish a few things, back at the Rampant Realm. She, er, won't be here for a while." Septimus explains. Sapphire looks disappointed. "I haven't slept in days, can I just get a moment of silence?" Sapphire face lights up.
"Sure! I can handel things around here for a bit! You can rest!" Sapphire bubbles. Septimus nodds and walks to his room. When he reaches it he closes the door and takes a small slip of paper from his hand. Written on it is "Bottom drawer, key is Magykly Sealed to the back of the mirror, use the orb." Septimus opens the bottom drawer of his dresser to find a single keyhole on the base of it. It appears to be a simple hole, as he can see to the floor through it. He reaches behind the mirror with his hand in a fist around the Orb of River. He whispers a Charm and a small silver key clanks to the ground. He picks it up, noticing the handle is elegantly carved into a lion's head on one side and a dragon's on the other. He inserted the key into the hole at the bottom of the dresser. It glows bright red, then dims, but doesn't go out. He can no longer see the floor through the keyhole, but a pile of papers and notebooks. He empties the drawer, then lifts the base off, to reveal a wooden chest beneath. He checks the underside of the drawer, but it appears as it normaly does. He reaches inside the chest and pulls out notebooks, sketches, and loose paper. A picture flutters to the ground. He picks it up. It is a picture of a teenager. At first, Septimus assumes that it's Leo, but he notices subtle diffrences. This girl's hair is curled with small strands of strawberry blonde in the front. Her face has freckles along her nose and around her neck is a red, glass cross,with flakes of gold and a fold of white glass in the corner. He stares at it, wondering where he's seen it before. He drops the photograph as the memory rushes back to him. A memory of this girl and Leo, sitting on the edge of the Moat on either side of him. The girls are laughing and skipping stones on the water. The girl's name comes rushing back to him. Leo called her simply, DragonFyre. When she didn't call her "Sis."
"Er, yes, I'm back." he sighs after Sapphire releases him. She looks behind him, as the portal closes.
"Um, where's TrailBlaiser?" she asks. Septimus cringes.
"Oh, she had to finish a few things, back at the Rampant Realm. She, er, won't be here for a while." Septimus explains. Sapphire looks disappointed. "I haven't slept in days, can I just get a moment of silence?" Sapphire face lights up.

Remember the Lion
Septimus and Giovanni sit in silence, holding their fallen. The night stars sparkle in the distance, but the heat of the day is vanishing. Yet, Leo stays warm. As soon as she fell, Sep was sure that she was dead, but she still breathes. Warmth still stays in her. Septimus kisses her forehead, willing her to awaken. "First Syrah, now you." he whispers softly. Giovanni looks at him.
"Who's Syrah?" he asks. Septimus begins to tell him the story of the Syren Islands, and of who he is. Giovanni sits in silence the whole time. "So," he says finally, when Sep was finished, "you can do all these amazing things, yet you still can't help either of them?" Septimus shakes his head.
"I'm afraid not. Her magic is diffent from mine. Bound by diffrent rules. And she's the only one that knows them all." Septimus sighs.
"No," Leo whispers, "I'm not." Septimus and Giovanni exchange astounded looks as Leo sits up cradling her head in her hands. She rubs her temples. "Remind me never to do that again." Tears well up in Sep's eyes.
"You're okay." he whispers. Leo regards him passivly.
"Well., you mean except for the pounding headache from magic shock? Yes." she groans. She notices their confused expressions. "Magic shock is when you're totally drained of magic, then hit by a large amount." She tries to stand but falls back down. "I feel like I've been run over with a bus." Septimus and Giovanni help her up. She groans as they support her. "But, it will all be worth it," she looks down at Astrid's cold body, "because I will heal her even if it kills me."
"But, it won't, right?" Septimus says warily.Leo gives him a long look.
"Sep, it's about time I tell you about Project Lion."
Hey, this is Sugar! I told you earlier that there wouldn't be any commentary, but I had to here. You see, I came around, and the StoryStreamer just shut down! Apparently, you need to provide a password to access it, because it's "Classified" and all. Seeing as I don't have a password, I geuss I just stay here until it becomes "Unclassified" again and it will reboot. Ooh! Here we go! Back online and operational!
The sun is sinking back into the earth. It's been nearly twenty-four hours since Astrid's death. Leo watches the sun's decent with growing anxiety. Septimus comes up behind her. "Are you sure you want to do this? I could kiss you now, lock the magic." Leo turns around to face fim, a playful gleam in her eye.
"Who's to say you're my true love? Besides," she closes her eyes, "I owe it to Astrid. She put her trust in me, and I failed her." She looks at him. "If things don't, go right-" Sep huggs her.
"They will. You'll be fine." He whispers. A single tear escapes him. "You have no idea how hard it is to not kiss you right now." Leo laughs a little.
"Oh yes I do. I love you. I don't want to do this. But I must." She starts to glow bright red. Her vision blurs from tears. Her eyes look at something in the distance, and widen in alarm. "Remember the Lion!" she screams as she falls to the ground. Septimus catches her, then turns around to see what she was looking at, but nothing is there. Giovanni puts his hand on Sep's shoulder.
"She'll be okay, right? Both of them?" Giovanni begs. Septimus turns his gaze toward the sky.
"Only by God's grace." he whispers.
"Who's Syrah?" he asks. Septimus begins to tell him the story of the Syren Islands, and of who he is. Giovanni sits in silence the whole time. "So," he says finally, when Sep was finished, "you can do all these amazing things, yet you still can't help either of them?" Septimus shakes his head.

RTD
Septimus steps out of the portal to see Leo sitting against a tree, hugging her legs to her chest and sobbing. He rushes to her side and holds her. Leo's tears dampen his cloak. Marisa watches them, then turns her attention to Giovanni, who's keeping a silent vigil by Astrid's side. "Something doesn't add up." Marisa says out loud. Everyone looks up at her, as if just now realizing that she's there. "I mean, why did this fail?" Marisa asks in general, but stares at Leo. Leo wipes her tears with her hand.
"Because," Leo sobbs, "it was a time sensitive spell, and I preformed it too early." Septimus holds her tighter. Marisa paces around. Suddenly, she stops, and whirls to face Leo.
"You knew this might happen, right?" Marisa demands. Leo's eyes widen. "Why else would you have given me this?" Marisa takes the piece of paper that Leo gave her earlier and holds it up. "RTD, you said. What is RTD? And what does it have to do with this mission?" Sep and Giovanni look at Leo in surprise. Leo's face turns bright red.
"Marisa, stop-" Leo starts, but Marisa cuts her off.
"Tell me. Obviously, it's important." Marisa demands. Hot tears roll off Leo's cheeks.
"Fine," Leo glares at Marisa, "RTD, is Realm Traveler Death." Everyone is taken aback. Leo looks at all of them in turn, her gaze finally resting on Astrid. "I didn't want to tell you because it could be disasterous." Leo gets up and leans against the tree. "I designed the magic to work a cetain way. This particular spell has a loophole, but it's a doozy." Leo looks at Marisa. "The loophole, is the fail safe." Septimus jumps to his feet.
"Leo, you're not suggesting that-" Septimus interjects, but is cut off by Leo.
"That's exactly what I'm suggesting." Leo closes her eyes. "The magic resets when it backfires on a Realm Traveler." She raises her hand, it glows red, then a bolt of red lighting shoots from her hand, circles back, and hits Leo. She falls back into Sep's arms, unconcious. He's stunned.
"Mighty Aslan." Marisa whispers. Sep looks at her.
"Marisa, go back to RTHQ." He opens a portal next to her. "Now." Marisa nods and dashes throught the portal and into the main lobby of RTHQ. Giovanni watches her, then turns his attention to Septimus.
"What do we do now?" he asks. Sep looks him in the eye.
"Pray."
"Because," Leo sobbs, "it was a time sensitive spell, and I preformed it too early." Septimus holds her tighter. Marisa paces around. Suddenly, she stops, and whirls to face Leo.
"You knew this might happen, right?" Marisa demands. Leo's eyes widen. "Why else would you have given me this?" Marisa takes the piece of paper that Leo gave her earlier and holds it up.

Darkness Falls...
Hey! Sugar here! I really want to get to the action over in Rampant, so I'll just give a bit of info then hook up the StoryStreamer! Okay, they were trying to reach Giovanni, believe it or not, for nearly two weeks! He got a new cell phone since Astrid last saw him and they were spending that time tracking him down. So, they've managed to contact Giovanni, and he has agreed to meet them on Lover's Hill (how appropriate). But, he doesn't know anything. He thinks that Astrid's just had a change of heart and wants to get back together. He doesn't know about Leo or Marisa or any of that, so yeah, he's in for a surprise!
Astrid and Leo stand at the top of the hill. The magic has already been preformed on her, expecting for Giovanni to arrive sooner. Due to a late flight, he arrived at the airport a day late. Marisa went to pick him up half an hour ago. Astrid looks around. Leo grabs her hand. "Don't worry, he'll be here." Leo reassures her. Astrid looks unconvinced.
"But will he be here in time?" A silver SUV pulled up to the side of the hill. Leo smiles as Marisa gets out and waves. A tall, strong figure emerges from the passenger side, carrying two suitcases. He shields his eyes against the setting sun and smiles when he sees Astrid. "Wow." Astrid whispers. "He never smiles. Not for real." She blushes a little. "Usually, he smiles with his eyes. It's really adorable." Marisa helps Giovanni get his bags out of the trunk. Astrid smiles wider than ever as Giovanni begins to make his way over to her. Astrid's hair is now grown out and full, the scars have all but disappeared, as have the strange markings in her eyes. All those things vanished when the magic was performed. Marisa and Giovanni reached the top of the hill. The RTs watch happily as Giovanni wraps his arms around Astrid's waist.
"Who did you tell him you were?" Leo whispers to Marisa.
"A unicorn hunter." she replied. Leo raised an eyebrow.
"And he bought that?" Leo seemed impressed. Marisa shrugged, then pointed to Astrid.
"Uh, Leo..." Marisa trailed off. Leo looked back at Astrid, who was beginning to glow a faint red.
"No!"Leo shouts, "Astrid! The magic! Lock the magic!" Astrid stares at her uncomprehendingly, then stiffens up, falls out of Giovanni's arms, and onto the ground. Everyone stares at Astrid's body in horror. Leo falls to her knees. She pushes on Astrid's chest, feels her wrist for a pulse. "No, no!" Giovanni begins to shake. Marisa steadies him. "I never fail! I can't fail! No! Astrid!" Leo screams. Tears well up in Marisa's eyes and she wipes them away with her sleeve. Giovanni kneels next to Astrid. He's paler than she is. "Aslan help us!" she cries. After a few moments, she more or less regains her composure. She takes her communicator from her pocket and presses a button. "This is TrailBlaiser calling RTHQ. Come in RTHQ." she sobs. After a few moments of static, a voice comes through.
"This is RiverFlyte responding, what's the situation? Over." Fresh tears roll down Leo's cheeks. She closes her eyes and lets them fall.
"Sep, she, she's dead." Leo cries. A few moments of silence pass. The feeling of depression lays thick on everyone's shoulders like a dark fog.
"I'll be right there."
Whoa. I, uh, I'm gonna just leave it running. I'll set the computer to cut it off at various intervals. There won't be commentary for a while. Just story. I've got to man the headquarters until RiverFlyte gets back. Um, dream on, I guess.

Long Lost Lovers
Hey! This is Sugar! I hope you've all waited for my next post with anticipation! Because this is going to be good! Remember that book I told you about last time? You will not believe this! That book was TrailBlaiser's Mission Journal! How Wes got a hold of it, I'll never know, but it's so cool! It has all these interesting things about the RTHQ that I have never heard of! For instance, if we are ever in a life-threatening situation, a telepathic link will open directly to the RT that is currently in charge of the RTHQ. Normally, that would be TrailBlaiser, but right now it's been delegated to RiverFlyte. Now, if you think that's cool, check this out, if we ever use any magic in a Realm and if backfires, we have an automatic fail-safe. I'm not quite sure what that means, but I don't think it's ever happened. There's also this thing at the bottom of the page that reads, "see RTD, and Project Lion." I've never heard of either of those before. I looked through the journal, and the only entries for RTD are: "Unlikely" and "Note to self: come up with back-up plan." I also looked up Project Lion, and all that's there is a recipe for some pastries called "Golden Lion" and a name, DragonFyre. No idea what that's about! But, whatever, that stuff's boring, so, story time!
Neil grabs the girl's arm and examines it. Marisa stares at Leo in awe. Suddenly, Astrid stirs. Her wounds are still fresh, so she slowly makes her way over to her friends. Astrid looks at her friend's healed arm, then at Leo. "Can you fix me, then?" Astrid asks, her voice hoarse. Leo walks toward Astrid, then stops a few feet away. Marisa is behind her the entire time.
"I think so." Leo replies confidently.
An hour later, the girls are crowding around Leo and Astrid as Leo assesses the damage. Leo sighs. "Just as I thought." she concludes. Marisa watches over her Leo's shoulder.
"What?" she asks. Leo shakes her head.
"The amount of magic needed to fix her would make her unstable." Leo sighs.
"So, why not heal me a bit at a time, so I'll have time to soak it up?" Astid chimes in. Leo shakes her head again.
"I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. However, it can be done as long as the magic is locked within twenty-four hours." Leo states. Astird stares at her blankly. "To lock the magic, you need a kiss. True love's kiss." The girl's exchange incledulous looks. "Yes, I know, but that's just how it works. Without the magic locked after twenty-four hours, well," Leo gulps, "you die."
"No." Neil states. Astrid turns to face him. "I will not let you risk your life." Astrid's jaw drops.
"Risk my life? RISK MY LIFE?! We risk our lives each time we step out of these doors! We could be gored by an alicorn at any moment! Or have you forgotten?" Neil stiffens.
"Asteroid, you've made so much progress on your own..." Phil starts. Astrid glares at her.
"I don't care. No matter how much 'progress' I'll make, I will always be only half of who I was." Astrid turns back to Leo. "Where is my 'true love'? I want this. I don't care about the risk." Leo nods and raises her hand toward the sky. It glows red, and shoots a beam of light into the heavens.
"I'm trying to locate him." Leo grunts. The beam falters, then dissipates. "New York." she says finally. She looks Astrid in the eyes. "It's... Giovanni."
Wow. Intense! For those of you who don't know, (but really should because TrailBlaiser told you to read the books) Giovanni is Astrid's ex-boyfriend. Well, they never really broke up, because at the time, she was suffering brain damage, and was previously in a coma. I don't know, depends on who you ask. I'm just glad it wasn't Brandt! (Again, if you don't know, YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE BOOKS!!!!!) Anyway, I cannot wait for TrailBlaiser to come back! I have so many things to ask her! Like, who Hunter O. is and why there are hearts surrounding his name. Yeah, she wrote that in her journal. Along with Micheal M., Blake A., John M., Brent G., Jackson S. and Chase A. Maybe RiverFlyte wasn't the first! They all have hearts around their names! But, they're all in a section of the journal labled, "DragonFyre". Maybe that's code for ex-boyfriends! Only time will tell! Dream on!

Wow. Intense! For those of you who don't know, (but really should because TrailBlaiser told you to read the books) Giovanni is Astrid's ex-boyfriend. Well, they never really broke up, because at the time, she was suffering brain damage, and was previously in a coma. I don't know, depends on who you ask. I'm just glad it wasn't Brandt! (Again, if you don't know, YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE BOOKS!!!!!) Anyway, I cannot wait for TrailBlaiser to come back! I have so many things to ask her! Like, who Hunter O. is and why there are hearts surrounding his name. Yeah, she wrote that in her journal. Along with Micheal M., Blake A., John M., Brent G., Jackson S. and Chase A. Maybe RiverFlyte wasn't the first! They all have hearts around their names! But, they're all in a section of the journal labled, "DragonFyre". Maybe that's code for ex-boyfriends! Only time will tell! Dream on!

Red Lightning and Busted Busts
Hey hey! This is Sugar Plum! Now, I know that Rabbitleap is supposed to be doing this, but she's just so shy! It must be a wolf thing. She asked me to do this one. I, on the other hand, am not shy at all! Unfortunately, I am in charge of teaching the basics to the A-I-Ts, so, I had to leave someone in charge of them. I left Rabbitleap in charge. I'm sure she can handle it! Anyway, I know you're just dying to know what happens next in the Rampant Realm, so, I'll shut up (which my new boyfriend, Jacob, says is really hard for me) and let the story, um, stream, I guess.
Astrid groans as Neil carries her into the main hall. The young woman strokes Astrid's cheek and silent tears run down her face. Astrid's eyes flutter open, revealing dark eyes, with a crescent ring of icy blue shining out from each iris. Marisa inhales sharply. Leo straightens. The girls crowd around Astrid, seeming to forget about Leo and Marisa. "Her eyes. What's wrong with her eyes?" Marisa whispers to Leo. Leo sighs.
"Brain damage. A little unicorn incident. Our mission is to reverse it." Leo whispers back. Marisa's eyes widen.
"But we aren't brain surgeons." Marisa reminds her. Leo laughs a little.
"I know. No surgeon could do what we can. They've tried. According to every doctor on earth, Astrid will never be the same again. She will never think and act normally unless she's around a unicorn." Leo notices Marisa's confused expression. "Unicorns heighten a hunter's sense. These girls," she motions toward the group surrounding Astrid. "are unicorn hunters. However, that doesn't mean there aren't casualties. A few months ago, they lost a hunter, Rosamund, I think, to the same unicorn that injured Astrid. Of course, that unicorn was much bigger than BoneGrinder here." she motions toward thee zhi. "That was a re'em. I think they were mentioned in the Latin translation of the Bible." The young woman brakes away from the group and makes her way over to Leo. She stops a few feet away. She looks from Leo, to Marisa, and back again.
"Who are you two?" she asks finally.
"Friends." Leo states. "If we may, I think we might be able to help you, Philippa." The woman seems slightly surprised. "You shouldn't be surprised that I know your name, you're on the television all the time." Phil seems to relax a little.
"What do you mean by 'help me'?" she asks. Leo smiles.
"Let me show you." Leo calls. The girls all turn toward her. She raises her hand toward one of them. Her hand glows bright red, as does her necklace. Suddenly, a bolt of red lighting shoots from her hand straight at the girl. She screams as it hits her. When the bolt hits the girl, she glows bright red, and then the glow fades. The girl was wearing a cast on her arm, but when the bolt hits her, it turns to ash. The girl stares at her arm in shock. She tests it by bending and straightening it. She smiles. The girls look at Leo. Leo just smiles at the girl. "That's what we can do."
I'm gonna cut it off here! I heard a loud crash coming from the training gym. I have to go check on the
A-I-Ts! BRB! Uh-oh, TrailBlaiser's not going to be happy about this. Wes, the son of Aphrodite, got in an argument with Terrance, the son of Athena. He called Terrance a nerd, Terrance called him vain. Then Terrance smashed Wes's mirror, then Wes tore Terrance's book in half. Here at RTHQ, books are a big deal, so then Jacob smacked them both, telling them to get a hold of themselves. Now, you may be wondering where Rabbitleap was at this point. Well, when it came to hitting, she transformed into a wolf and tackled them. Unfortunately, she slid a little when pouncing and managed to take out the marble bust of Aslan. That was the loud crash I told you about earlier. I dealt with the boys. I sent Wes and Terrance to their room, and Jacob to the infirmary. Rabbitleap accidentally bit him. Rabbitleap used her powers of Earth to repair the bust, which was AWESOME, by the way! Everything is fixed, I think. Except the book. I hope that it wasn't important. I'll update this again tomorrow. Dream on!

Missions with Leo: 101
Hi, I guess. I'm still not used to writing. Or speaking to people. I'm a lone wolf, what can I say? Um, I'll hook the Story Streamer data back up to the laptop now.
Leo began searching in her bag. Marisa walks over to the targets. The bull's eye mark was so shot up that the paper was tearing off. An odd noise comes from the other side of the courtyard. Marisa straightens. "Leo, did you hear that?" she whispers. Leo looks at her.
"Hear what?" Leo asks. Suddenly, a blur of white fur rushes toward Marisa. She screams. Five girls leap from the balconies surrounding the courtyard and subdue the beast. They hold the animal back as it gnashes its fangs at Marisa. It resembles a lamb, but with a horn in the middle of its head and razor sharp, bloody fangs. Marisa stumbles backwards and falls down. Leo hurries over to her. "Are you okay?" she asks her.
"Tha-that thing! It tried to kill me!" Marisa shrieked. Leo studied the beast impassively.
"Yes, a zhi will do that. It may look cute and cuddly,but it's a cold blooded killer. Odd though, no creature is supposed to attack a Realm Traveler." She helped Marisa up. "Are you wearing your amulet?" Marisa stared at her in shock.
"N-no." she stuttered. Leo reached into her bag and pulled out an old wooden cross tied to a leather cord. She handed the necklace to Marisa.
"It's very important that you wear your amulet on all missions. It gives out an energy signature that every beast recognizes. People, not so much, but animals will never attack you. Fortunately for you, I brought a spare." Marisa pulled the necklace over her head. The zhi stopped growling and bowed before her. "That was my old necklace, before I got this." Leo shows Marisa the amulet she's wearing, a leather cord with a orange, black, and yellow marble tied to it. The girls who were holding the zhi released it. They stared at Marisa and Leo in shock.
"Who are you?" one girl asked.
"What I'd like to know is," came a voice from behind the girls."What are you doing here?" A young man comes out from behind the girls. They back away as he comes past. A young woman follows him. Marisa hides behind Leo.
"I'm on a mission, Neil." His eyes widen at Leo's words.
"How do you know my name?" he whispers.
"I do my research." She looks over at the group of teenage girls. She seems troubled. "Where is Astrid?" Neil stiffened.
"The location of the members of the Order of the Lioness is not the business of an outsider." he stated. Leo looked unimpressed.
"She's gone, isn't she?" Leo sighed. The doors opened behind Marisa. She squealed again. Another teenage girl, a blond, limped through the doors, then collapsed by a target. The zhi ran over and licked the dried blood off her face. The young woman rushed over to her.
"Astrid!" one of the girls gasped. Marisa turned to Leo.
"This isn't a routine mission, is it?" Marisa asked her. Leo smiled.
"Are you kidding? This is one of the most simple missions I've ever had." Leo checked her watch. "Usually, by this time, I would have been captured, interrogated, then have escaped, hitch-hiked halfway across the country and landed face-first in the mud a few times." Neil picked Astrid up. She was covered in blood and dirt. "This is easy."
I have to cut it off again. I'll try to post again tomorrow, 'kay? 'Til then, Howl to the Stars!

Rampant!!!!!!!!!
Hey! This is A-I-T Sapphire again! TrailBlaiser's not posting because she's setting up the Story Streaming thingy. Now, everyone knows that this is its first test run, right? Well, guess what? It's my first test run, too! I get to go on a real mission! Is this cool or what?! Agent Rabbitleap was so impressed with my progress that she asked TrailBlaiser if I could tag along! And she said yes! Eeeeeeeeeep! Any moment now, the portal will open and we'll be heading to the Rampant Realm! I could just explode with excitement! Now, you may be confused as too how this all works, but don't worry, it's not rocket science. It's actually a form of Alchemie. TrailBlaiser used to only be able to travel to one realm, Narnia. At the permission of Aslan, of course! Most of our laws of Travel come from Narnia. Like, how time lapses differently in each realm? That's called the Narnian Warp Effect. Some people call it Einstein's Theory of Relativity, but that sounds boring and math-y. Actually, I believe another group, the Mystique, uses that method. And their sister (or is it brother?) group. Ooh, TrailBlaiser's signaling me! Okay, one more thing, as soon as we enter the Realm, Story Streaming will activate, and the mission will instantly be uploaded to this post. I'll leave it open. Someone will come by later and sign it off. Wish me luck!
Sapphire steps out of the portal. She looks around in amazement. "Where are we?" she whispers. TrailBlaiser opens a map. She looks around, then back down.
"Rome. Where exactly in Rome, I'm not sure, but..." she trails off. Sapphire wanders off. She hears voices off in the distance. She comes across a marketplace, filled with people shopping around.
"TrailBlaiser! You've gotta come see this!" Sapphire exclaims. TrailBlaiser looks up. She walks over to Sapphire.
"Oh," she says, "the piazza." She checks her map again. "We're in the right place." She grabs Sapphire's hand and lead her down the hill. "One more thing. We don't go by codenames in realms. You call me Leo and I call you whatever name you want to be here." Sapphire thinks for a moment.
"My real name, I suppose. Marisa." Leo nods and continues walking down to the piazza. A group of grubby looking children run up to them. Leo growls at them, and they back off. Marisa is appalled. "Leo! They're children!" she gasps. Leo leads her out of the crowded piazza.
"No, they're pickpockets. They might be children physically, but they're thieves at heart. Check your bag." Leo and Marisa open their bags. "Everything is still in mine."
"Mine, too." Marisa states. Leo glances back at the children, now talking in an alley.
"This is why I hate big cities." she spits. Marisa throws her bag over her shoulder.
"So why did we come?" she asks. Leo leads them through several twists and turns. Finally stopping next to an old fountain. A stone woman holds what resembles a unicorn's horn, which has water pouring out of the tip. Leo points to the large doors to what appears to be a nunnery.
"This is why." Leo pushes open the double doors, revealing rows of archery tragets set up, swords and daggers and arrows along the wall, and a large, stuffed, elephant-sized unicorn in the middle. "Welcome to the Order of the Lioness."
Sorry, I have to cut it off here. The story will continue to be uploaded and stored on the computer. TrailBlaiser left me, Rabbitleap, to control it. Um, I'm not really sure what TrailBlaiser usually signs off with. I'll ask Septimus. He says it's "I <3 Sep". I don't believe him. I geuss I'll just sign off with my pack's saying.
Howl to the Stars!

Sep's Realm (still.... yeah, I know...)
What's up peoples? This is A-I-T Sapphire! Please, please, hold your applause! Whoa, I just realized something, applause kinda looks like apple sauce, only combined. Cool. O_0 Now I'm hungry. I want apple sauce. With cinnamon! Oh, wait, I was supposed to be doing something. What was it again? Oh yeah! TrailBlaiser asked me to post more of "Sep's Realm"! She would be doing it herself, but she's off on something she calls, "Project Lion". Don't know what that is, but whatever! Um, I don't know exactly how much to post, she didn't really tell me, so I'll just paste a section of it. Here goes!
When Septimus and Leo reached the base of the stairs, they stopped. "You want to see Magyk in action?" Sep asked. Leo nodded as Sep took a small arrow out of his pocket.
"Is that a Flyte Charm?!" Leo gasped. Sep smiled.
"I'm surprised you know of it."
"How could I not? It's only the best Charm ever! Of course, it didn't work for a while, that is, until you got the other half from Simon when he used it in that epic battle where his Darke Magyk gave the dragon egg it's last requirement." She noticed the way Septimus was staring at her. "I mean, I heard rumours about it and..." Leo trailed off. Marcia saved her from saying anything else.
"Septimus, I would perfer you take the stairs." She said, as she came up behind them.
"Er, right. Come on Leo."
That is how much she wanted me to post, right? Oh well. It looks like TrailBlaiser's back, so, I geuss I'm done here. Wait, something's going on. RiverFlyte's going up to her. He's smiling. And then he kisses her. ......................But she doesn't kiss him back... What? She's......crying. What's up with her? Wait, she's saying something...... Here's what I heard, "Of course you're happy to see me. Why wouldn't you be? You love me. But, ugh, I can't tell you. I'm sorry." Now she's coming over to me. She scribbled something on a scrap of paper. She tells me not to open it unless I sense something called RTD. Sense? Is RTD some kind of vibe? It's not in the handbook, I should know, I memorized it. She sat on the couch, RiverFlyte sits next to her. She's still crying. She says, "I hope Project Lion is never put in effect. I hope Agent DragonFyre never has to come here." RiverFlyte asks who DragonFyre is. She just looks at me. "I hope you never find out. She's possibly the greatest Realm Traveler in the world. She just, doesn't know it. She knows us. She's been a part of RTHQ longer than I have." RiverFlyte looks confused.
"But, you're the first RT." She jumps up and runs to her room, shouting over her shoulder, "Exactly!" Whoa. Don't know what that was about, but I have a feeling this will not be pretty. Dream on, though, I think that's too perky a sign off for this update.
