Midsummer NiGHTopia [open, and still accepting characters, humans now avalible]

Puc was not surprised Eva worried, even if was about ever little detail being alright, Eva still cared for Puc, which all he could respond with is a warm smile and "I'm fine Eva, I escaped with no harm done to me." he told Eva loyally as he held her in a hug again.
Vaye still stood where she was, clenching her fists, hoping once again the woods would listen, not to her pleas,but to her request.....for revenge.

Eva ran her arms around Puc's back and sighed, having nothing left more to say, other than a quick, "...thank goodness," before placing her head on his shoulder, and shutting her tired eyes. Eva wondered how Puc must have escaped from such a predicament, but she didn't bother asking. Just having him back in her arms is good enough for her, even if that weird girl's warning still echoed in her mind.

Puc was calm around Eva, but was still on alert, being out in the open means that any other nightmaren....or even Vaye, could come up and ruin their moment, "Perhaps we should head back now, Master Eva...." Puc said loyally, he wanted to go out of the Dream Gate, report to nightmare, then go back home and rest, simple as that.
'FLASH'
a blue circle became visible enclosing Eva and Puc in this magical seal, Puc was unsure who had this ability of enclosure, till what appeared to be a female girl stepped from the forest, "I have been ordered to bring you two back to Nightmare, please don't bother to resist." Lei-Lei said as she approached the glowing circle.

Eva was both suprissed and impressed by this unusual trap now set around them, but she couldn't understand why it would be placed, especially by someone as random as the odd girl from before, and with practically no reason. "I am affraid the barrior is not necessary.." Eva said with a fake smile, gazing at the girl as she carefully broke her hug with Puc. "My servant and I were just about to return to Nightmare ourselves, so if you would be so kind as to remove your trap, we will be off on our way..."
Ordered to bring them back? Why in the world would she be ordered that? Master Wizeman knew Eva would come back as soon as she was able...so why order someone to retrieve them by force?
...Wait....were they sentenced to be....punished?

"My master has ordered me to bring you two back unharmed, hence the barrier." Lei-Lei concluded, an easy way to capture victims and keep them from being damaged by outside attacks, which she had plan for, as she dodged tree roots, shooting out of the grounds like spikes in a sand trap, Lei-Lei gracefully landed in the barrier after phasing through, mumbling a unique chant that teleported them back to Wizeman's chamber.
Puc found it strange, what kind of person was this girl, he looked like a human but had amazing skills of projection and sensing traps.....who was she.....? Puc cleared his mind, he shouldn't be think about others like that, he only believed on being amazed by Eva... and only her...

Eva was confused on all that was happening, but seeing as this odd girl had it all under control, things didn't worry Eva too much, her mind was somewhere else anyway. There's so much Eva doesn't understand...so much she wants to have an explination for...but it seems all that will have to be placed on hold yet again, as the Master calls once more, but this time...for unknown reasons.
As the scenery changed from the glistening fountain area to the familiar and safe chamber of her Master, Eva sighed and stood at the ready, a low feeling rising up in her chest. Things had just gotten so lovely, too...

"Master Wizeman." Lei-Lei bowed towards her master, smiling at her accomplishments, "I have returned with these two nightmarens, I have also retrieved the other two nightmarens you requested, both in their own cells, and the reconstruction plan is going according to plan Master."
Wizeman didn't show any sign of emotion on the matter, he sat listen till she was finished, then spoke, "You have done well Proto, you are dismissed, stay on standby" Wizeman order Lei-Lei who responded with a 'yes Master' before exiting the chamber.
"Now then, a summery of your mission Eva, speak now" Wizeman ordered Eva, the eyes on his hands all facing her, and Puc could only stare from behind Eva, he still hated Wizeman.

"Well...Master," Eva began formally, trying to think of a report that wouldn't incriminate anybody important, "after ariving at the Dream Gate, the group and I found and confronted General Reala. As we were reasoning with him, an unexpected arival of some unidentified individual started an assault on the General, in which case he proceeded to lure it into the forest to spare the group any inury. Unfortunately, a few of us were caught off guard by his sudden generousity and took after him, in which I unfortuantely must say I lost sight of him, but apparently, the one you sent to retrieve us kept up long enough to challenge the General after loseing the threat. After returning to the Gate, my servant Puc and I began to discuss our next action when the odd girl who just departed appeared and brought us back to you, Sir."
Eva clentched her fist and stood with a loyal and straight posture. She didn't know why she didn't throw that nobody on the chopping block and mention his lack for anyone else's wellbeing, but she fgigured she'd get back at him in her own way, soon enough.

"Neither success nor falure occured..." Wizeman responded, knowing that the mission was acomplished by Lei-Lei, but didn't provide much of chance to see Eva and Puc's cababilities in action. "With all these interuptions, it is best for you two to be dismissed..." Wizemand spoke once again, looking at Puc, who's eyes of anger no longer lingered, the tension still stayed, but his true power has finally, vanished.

"I understand," Eva replied loyally with a bow, understanding that with all the newly aquired info, there would need to be time to sort everything out. "Thank you, Master Wizeman."
With a quick backflip, Eva created a portal back to their chambers with a smile. Usually whenever she was dismissed, Eva would just kill-off time until her next glorious assignment was issued, but seeing as they have free time again...maybe she would get to talk with Puc again like before. As she traveled through her portal, Eva's small smile grew sheepish. Just the thought of a repeat of earlier made her feel happy inside. Too happy to notice the narrowing peaking eye of Chive from his door, or remember the reason for it being there.

Puc no longer had a grudge against Wizeman, but could not accept the tyrant he is, why should Puc complain? Wizeman had already broken his bond to control him, now under the order of the loving Eva, was he being generous by giving him this pairing. It played through his mind how he hated Wizeman.....but maybe....just maybe....he should consider letting go....for Eva's sake.

Reala opened his eyes, finding himself trapped in a cell he has seen NiGHTS captured in many times, never thinking he would be the captive of this rarely escape prison without a visitor. He thought to much about that purple jester, showing he good from bad, right from evil....Reala couldn't trust NiGHTS, those feelings are what got him caught, all he can do now is wait for punishment, or for a miracle.....

Freeing herself from her thoughts, Eva pulled herself back into reality and looked around. The thought of keeping her portal open for Puc to come though still live in her mind, Eva let her eyes drift lazily around the room in as she quietly waited, but as they wandered down the hall, her eyes halted with a stare.
What in the world....
"Chive-" Eva called out demandingly, staring down her sibling's visible eye as it slowly widened in guilt. Eva knew Chive knew better then to spy on her, so therefore, he was practically asking for this, as the two began to stare at each other, neither making a so much as a sound, both knowing the grim fact that the first to move would be at the mercy of the other's will, so being a sacred rule they have always followed. Crossing her arms Eva turned her stare into a glare, watching with a small sense of victory as Chive's pupil began to waver, a signal of his soon to be defeat. And as his eye began to drift away into the darkness, Eva smiled with pleasure, leaving Chive to shut his door in a heartbeat, defeated.
There....perhaps that will keep him out of where he doesn't belong...

Puc jumped through the portal, as he gave Wizeman one last glare, with a grin, showing he doesn't fear Wizeman anymore, nothing more then a vague memory and unknown being. Returning back to their home, he quickly embraced Eva, "I'm happy..." Puc began, "We didn't complete the mission...but we're still together again....I believe that is worth a victory" Puc said as he giggled, with Wizeman no longer a threat, Puc can focus on his bond with Eva, and defend it at all costs.

Being caught off-guard by yet another unexpected hug sent Eva's mind a whirl, staining her face with a bright blush, and turning her mind into mush. "..Even if our mission was an utter loss today, you are right, Puc." Eva said with a smile, Puc's sweet giggle playing over and over again in her head. "As long as I get to see your smiling face at the end of the day, that's all the victory I'll ever need." Eva ran her arms across Puc's back and giggled herself, instantly embarassed after doing so.
Did she let his hugs go to her head again?

SPiTE awoke in a bitter mood, for failing to capture Reala and pass out to his attack, but what's this, a prison? Why would SPiTE be imprisoned, because he failed to capture Reala. Wait a minute! across the way.....in another chamber, an upset Reala. SPiTE ponder on this, did he capture Reala? that wouldn't be true, otherwise he would be outside of these glass walls mocking him.....perhaps....another nightmaren took the bounty, and took SPiTE as well....but who?

Puc continued to smile, in enjoyment to being with Eva, a warm glow reflecting off her personality, it was perfection. He didn't want it to end, till a memory played back in his mind, what might have been the first time he met Eva, in a forest, the first time in love....wasn't true love.....now...he has proven the past wrong.

Eva let out a peaceful sigh and rested on Puc' shoulder, trying her best to ignore the insainely familiar sensation of deja-vu nagging at her in the back of her mind. Even if it felt familiar, Eva was too tired to care, what she feels is what she feels, there is no getting around it.
...what she feels..is what she feels....there is no getting around it..
Eva took a deep breath but let it escape back out of her, she wasn't strong enough to say it. She wanted to say it, she felt like that's what she wanted to do, but she still couldn't...saying such words will change everything...forever..

Puc was tired after a long and exhausting day, and by the way Eva was losing her grip, she was just as tired. Puc swooped up her legs and began to carry her, trying to use what little strength he had left not to drop her he carefully took them to his room and gently place her on the bed before he fell down to his knees and tilt towards the ground, sleeping on the floor, his room door left wide open.

Being picked up and carried in such a way...Eva didn't quite know how to take it, this being yet another thing she has never had happen to her in all her life...but it's yet another thing she will always get to cherish forever.
Looking over the edge of the bed at her now sleeping sweetheart, Eva chuckled lightly. Puc is so kind..using up all his remaining energy just to see that she sleeps comfortably, Eva couldn't believe such a sweet thing. With another peaceful sigh, Eva removed her coat, and with a quiet bend over the bed as an attempt not to wake him, she spread it over Puc like a blanket. "Thank you, dear." Eva whispered with a blush, kissing his forehead, before leaning back onto the bed, and noticing a strangely placed black enevelope on a pillow....only her siblings leaves those...

Puc tired to drift to sleep, till he felt something cover his body, a blanket? No, it felt more firm, elegant, then heard Eva's voice, and with a kiss from her, made him blush. He was still too tired to open his eyes, but he knew Eva's expression by heart, a warm pulsating beat, gently rocking him to sleep.

"And that is all I saw...." Owl finished his story of recent event to NiGHTS, he couldn't believe Reala's actions, Nightmare #1 nightmaren, now tracked down by his own kind??? I didn't seem reasonably possible.....NiGHTS sighed, he didn't expect this kind of change in Reala.....he only hoped for his safety now.....as NiGHTS prepares for a midnight flight.

There are so many others things Eva would rather do than read this note from her siblings, but she knew she couldn't avoid them forever, there is just no way. Holding the silky envelope in her hand, Eva lied back on the bed, gently ripping the top of her note open as she got herself comfortable...what did they want now...? Pulling out and unfolding her message with a grimace, Eva scanned the bottom of the sheet. Huh...it's from Chive...
"Eva, seeing as you are not around often as you once were, and that you perhaps have forgotten about your promise to m-" Eva stoped, wanting to slap herself...she hadn't given that promise a second thought since the night she made it....oh well, she'll find out what it would have brought in a moment anyway, as she continued on. "..-promise to me, I have left this note in your servant's room in high hopes and expectancy that you would retrieve it first. To say this bluntly...I do not know what is going on with you...but your behavior is worrisome. The last time I have seen you act like yourself was the night you left for the forest before you went missing. I do not know what happened to you after that departure for days on end, but...you are not the Eva that left this residence. From what I have concluded, and from what your servant has informed me of, these odd behavior issues of your's are connected to new emotions none of us have ever, and will never express. I am sorry to say this so harshly my sister, but there is no softening this fact. You are not Eva, and I am affraid continuing this odd behavior will only bring troubles for you. I have not informed Master or Exo of my analisis, bu-" Eva let the note slip from her hand and rest on her chest, a confused disgust lingering in her eyes. She wouldn't stand to read this garbage a second more, as she crumpled the note up in her hand, and let it fall limply away. Nonsense. It's all just nonsense.

"Are you serious about doing this NiGHTS???" Owl squawked, unsure of NiGHTS' sudden actions.
"I've never been more sure Owl, please, would you stop worrying." NiGHTS bat off Owl as he floated to a top of a mountain, with Owl flapping his wings strongly just to keep up.
"But have you thought about getting caught, involved in battles, you could even go through worse if you plan to fly in those regions?"
"No Owl, thinking about them would just ruin the fun." NiGHTS said with a grin as he flew from the top of the mountain with twist and turns, gaining momentum before the attack.

Eva turned onto her side and closed her tired eyes with a grumble, mixed words and phrases off the letter still mocking her. Chive isn't going to change anything with this ignorant trash...Eva has already made up her mind. Puc is someone she doesn't want to ever let go of, and if with being with him makes her "not Eva", then so be it. Drifting off into slumber, Eva curled up.
Perhaps the old Eva was never really the real Eva at all...maybe the new Eva is..

A series of winds blasted through nightmare, the battle had begun, as soon as NiGHTS passed through nightmares border, Lei-Lei was on the chase, ready to strike down this well known rouge, even with tilts and swirls, she was able to keep up with NiGHTS' skills. NiGHTS came here for one purpose, find out Reala's true intentions. With that as a purpose, this visit was a death trap, one false move, and Wizeman would be victor in this battle, nightopia would be overrun. It wasn't safe, but it had to be done, NiGHTS continue to fly, till a hand reach for NiGHTS, trying to escape, a shade of darkness illuminated around NiGHTS, there was no escape.

The next day, Puc awoke, already blushing, he slept with Eva's jacket as a blanket. Did she give this to him to sleep with? He continued to blush, it was very thoughtful of her, but another thought came to mind as he stood up....wondering how it would fit him? He quickly looked at Eva, she must be still asleep, he quietly slipped the jacket on him, sleeve by sleeve, it surprisingly fit, and was very stylish. Puc walked around the room, hearing the coat tails flutter in the room, he shouldn't be doing this, but it was so cool....as long Eva didn't know....

The drifting melody of some glorious sound woke Eva up, but only enough to make her shift and re-place her face deeper in the pillow. Unsucessful in drowning out this wonderful noise, Eva peered around with a curious stare to find its source, and seeing what she did...almost made her burst out in a laughing fit. Her precious coat being modeled by her precious Puc, huh? Well, he does wear it well. If it were anyone else, Eva probably would have given them a present that would last forever outside the back of the head, but to see her coat around Puc...all she could do is hold a grin, and turn red from laughter restraint.
Eva couldn't just let this go on, no matter how amazing it was, but she figured if Puc wanted to see how it would fit him...she might as well let him know her opinion, as she rasied two fingers up to her mouth, and whistled, breaking into a giggle instantly.
He's such a sweetheart.

Puc was easily scared be the whistle as he jumped up in the air, his eyes open wide, but then calm down knowing it was Eva.....wait...EVA!?!? Puc didn't want her to see him in her precious coat, but yet....she was laughing, why? Maybe she wasn't so upset....in that case, "Looks good on me doesn't it?" Puc asked as he struck a pose.
