“And what does this gem do?” Her curiosity grew with each jewel they came upon. Surely, they were meant to be used together, but what for? She hoped she’d get to see the result of the union when they were obtained.

"Each gem can control certain elements when inserted in to their respective slot on the ring, like the Amethyst controls darkness. According to my mother, when each gem has been reunited, the wearer will be granted a powerful sword. I've got no idea what the last gem does." Kyoya said, inserting the Amethyst, causing the ring to shine in a deep black color.

"That sounds like a myth shades have," Moon said.

"I think remember my mother telling me stories of an old alliance by some of our ancestors with the shades." He said in response, "The original creator of the ring collaborated with a shade to create something that would allow humans and witches to live together."

“The version I heard fell along similar lines. A powerful shade managed to adapt to use a variety of affinities, and used them to make jewels that contained magical properties. There was no mention of what she did with them, or what became of the gems, but it’s said they’d one day be reunited. Afterward, peace and prosperity would wash over the many species at war.”

"Perhaps this is why we get along so well. I've even heard rumors that the island we're going to was home to these humans and shades, with shades potentially still living there."

Other shades? The witch had never seen another shade or witch before other than her mother. “Really?”

(brb!)

"I can't say for sure, I'm only relaying the rumors I've heard. That's part of the reason people avoid the coasts..." Kyoya said, a bit softer.

(I'll be here.)

Even if it was a slim chance, Moon wanted to check. What would her mother think if she had the opportunity to seek out other shades and she didn’t take it? With resolve in her eyes, she smiled at Kyoya. “Then let’s be on our way.”

(Back!)

"If we keep on this path we'll reach the coastline in less than an hour. We'll need to be careful on the coast, rumors have spread about some strange sea monster attacking people who stray to close, if you ask me they're just hitting the skooma again." Kyoya smiled back at her, gently letting her hand go.

Drop had forgotten he had been holding her hand until he let it go. “If there’s water, I can always freeze it.” She made a small laugh at her words. It was true, she’d frozen ponds and lakes so her parents and her could ice skate in her childhood.

"This should be a huge boom for our grade if we can actually confirm the existence of the island...I've always got my ring to freeze crap with, too....though, I'm curious, what are you going to do if there aren't any shades there?" Kyoya's voice had softened a bit.

Silent a moment, Moon gazed up at the setting sun. “I would say I’d be disappointed, but that’s not the right word. Nostalgic is better, I think, but that’s nothing new to me.”

Kyoya simply smiled as they came closer to the coastline, the soft smell of fresh ocean spray gently floated along the breeze.

Seth walked ahead, focused on the horizon and sand stretched before the three of them.

Moon Drop walked and ended up taking off her shoes. The cool sand felt nice on her sore soles.

(I'll probably end up leaving sometime in the next hour or so, so if I end up disappearing, that's why. I'll be back as soon as can.)

"It's beautiful...I've never figured something so hated would be this pretty..." Kyoya grabbed a shell beneath his feet.

(Don’t worry. ^^ )

“It competes with a snow-covered landscape,” she agreed, eyes jumping from place to place so she’d see everything.

"I wonder if the island's any prettier?" Kyoya said as an old sail boat seemingly appeared out of thin air in front of the two, slowly rocking back and forth on the gentle waves.

“If it is, then my brain might overload from it all,” the witch chuckled.

The wolf watched the boat with caution.

"Let's hope it doesn't explode, it'd be a real shame." Kyoya said in a joking manner, the boat seemed to be calling for the two allies.
