'Hey,' Kaira reacted fiercly when she saw Olivia. 'Who are you, how did you get here?'

Olivia laughed, "Oh, how rude of me. My name is Olivia; how I got here is not important."

Art, eyeing Olivia suspiciously, spoke up. "I guess it is possible ... I mean, sure Charger's tough, but there were a LOT of people out there."

She shrugged, "I don't really care if you believe me or not, but if you want to help your friend at all, I don't think standing around here discussing whether it's possible or not is gonna help him much."

Silvia was startled as Fisher flew up in the air, then she heard the voice of one of those cats she had spoken with just before. She looked sharply in the direction it came from, but realised that she was still invisible.
"Well..." she spoke quietly, looking up at Pseok and Fisher rapidly closing the gap between them, "I don't know what I could really do to help..."
The words of Slade came back to her now as she watched helplessly from below...
"I'm giving you a choice. You can come with me, learn the arts of magic, and become as powerful as any of us here. Or, you can go on like you are now, a pathetic being with nothing but aimless wandering ahead of you.
She felt a sudden anger, she wasn't so helpless as all that! She glared up at Fisher, feeling the rage growing inside her. She glanced towards Pseok, and recalled their meeting in the forest. It hadn't been the most cordial meeting, but she couldn't really blame him given the circumstances. It certainly wasn't reason enough to neglect helping him now in any way she could.

Suddenly she felt something strange... some inexplicable connection to the eagle. A red glow started to surround her. She couldn't understand herself what was happening, but she managed to gasp out, "Keep back!" to the two cats, even though she couldn't see them. A red ring appeared surrounding her, gradually getting smaller and smaller until it came close enough to touch her. Then, in an instant, Silvia burst into flames! Fire burst out on both sides of the central flames in the shape of wings, then what looked like a golden beak emerged from the top of the fire. Two claws shot out from the bottom of the flames, and in a few seconds the transformation was complete; Silvia seemed to have transformed into a phoenix not unlike a smaller version of Pseok's own transformation. She couldn't understand what had just happened, but her fury at Fisher was enough to show her what to do next. With a shrill cry, the new phoenix flew upwards towards Fisher...

OOC: I hope nobody has any problem with this... If anyone, particularly Splat, does have a problem, tell me and I'll think of something else. If there's no problem, I will explain in later posts how this happened and why it was a phoenix, of all things...
