OOC: Not a problem, there was a forum glitch affecting email notifications and posting privileges. Regardless don't feel forced to post before your ready. I don't expect either of us to post every day when we have other things to handle in our lives. Sometimes even a whole week could be busy and I waited for Friday/weekend, that's life.
Luster: Fearing what affect the Blue Gem would have on him, hesitates, then says "I--hope." It was said in hunger and pain, but also in hope to believe what brought life to him will again. He felt the need to seek the mystery of the Mega Star, all that was created and caused by it's presence on Home.
So the hunched Luster painfully facing his fear slowly reaches for the Blue Gem. Soon as his hand neared it glowed brightly, the blue strangely as if reaching in return was slightly lifting from the gem. When his hand finally grasped it, the Blue Gem began to dim but Luster's skin turned a light blue; pain ceased in his body and stood tall with his eyes opened.
His words following with gained insight, "What has come of life is the giver of life, no fear is kept in hope!" As the blue had faded from the gem, so too had the color from him; returning to normal. Except the renewed Luster was changed though unrecognizable to the eye. So he smiled looking to Coleton saying "I feel much better," remembering Drake it dawns on him " We must go!" and quickly runs toward the mountainous region.
