"Rykah, it really is ok. It wasn't your fault."

Rykah nodded slowly, still unconvinced…

Will sighed, resigning himself to the fact that he couldn't convince Rykah that it wasn't the kid's fault.

Rykah sat in awkward silence, unsure what to say at the moment.

Will felt a lump rise in his throat as he thought more, but attempted to get rid of it.

Suddenly the tigress jolted, pushing Rykah out of the way before running off towards the edge of the island.

"Er…. Rykah?"

Rykah quickly got his feet, "We have to follow her!"

Will followed without question.

Rykah dashed through the forest stopping at the edge of the island next to Lily, His ears went back with hers when he saw what was going on below. Lily was growling and the stripes in her fur where glowing as a thick blue barrier appeared a few feet from the Island. Rykah summoned his auras and readied to fly off the edge.

“Hey!” Will yelled, pulling Rykah back by his collar. “What’s going on?”

"You have to let me go or we're dead!!" yelled Rykah, fear in his voice as a fountain of black goop struck the sheild. the goop acted like a whip trying to break Lily's sheild before falling back down to the ground below.

Will let go in surprise.

Rykah took his chance to leap off the island and through Lily's shield, just barely missing being hit with another blast of black goo.

Will watched in fear, unable to even say anything.

Another stream of black goo raced for the Island, Rykah dove so he was right in front of it, gritting his teeth he summoned all his strength, "Harmonix Burst!" he yelled, a burst of golden light repelling the goop for a moment, but leaving Rykah clearly tired as he dove to meet the next with a stream of silver aura.

Will’s legs gave out, so he sat on the ground and watched in a daze.

This went on for several minutes as Rykah defended Lily's shield from the black goop. Suddenly Lily's roar rang out and Rykah turned to see a massive wave of goop heading for the island. Rykah paled at the sight but summoned all his power as the wave came closer. Calling out in a strange language he summoned all three auras to block the goop's attack. Barely holding out against the goop Rykah was pushed backwards towards the island. NO! his thoughts turned to panick as he felt himself being pushed back,

“Rykah….?” Will called uncertainly.

Rykah put one last burst of energy into the spell, dispelling the black menace. he flapped in midair as he watched the goop fall away, feeling his head grow light and his vision fuzzy as he did so, he quickly turned and glided back to the island trying to land properly but tumbling into the grass instead. he tried one last time to get up, but ended up blacking out from exertion.

“Rykah!” Will knelt next to the other boy, immediately searching for a pulse. He sighed greatfully when he found a slightly slow pulse. However slow it was, it was there, at least.

(Rykah's gonna be out for a few days at least after that…)
The tiger trotted over nudging Rykah's face til she felt his breathing. Satisfied that he was alive she backed away to watch Will from a distance.

Will turned to look at the tigress. “Can you do something about this?” He asked. Then he felt silly for talking to an animal.

the tiger shook her head as if to say "no" and stood there waiting.

“Can you do ANYTHING?” Will asked, frustrated.
