The time will come...

[petal_storm]

Who: Any
When: The height of Egyptian civilization.
What: Saving Elora's life.

Elora stretched her wings to the sky and yawned, staring
upward; it was such a brilliantly blue sky...clean and empty of anything she was used to. This was the first day she'd managed to be on her feet; time travel was hard on a body, especially as far back as they'd gone. She was honestly shocked her mother had managed to be up and BUILD A TEMPLE prior...

...granted it was Dahlia. The woman managed miracles on short notice. It would be intimidating if it wasn't so useful honestly.

Egypt.

Land of sands and...green lush plant life. They had arrived before the death cult had poisoned the Nile Valley; all the better honestly. She wouldn't do well in a dead land. Not after her mate had attacked her no...

The scars were a silvery river down her left side. Monstrous, painful...gods it had hurt. She idly traced fingers down the scars and watched people mill beyond the walls. He was here; somewhere. Her mate. Mother had promised and it made her...breathe again. She'd been dying they said, hence the extreme measures. Sh just say it as...and extension. A brief, clean moment between nightmares. She'd had a lot of those recently. Ever since being bitten her mind was...full of darker things.

But the light didn't hurt.

Gods the sun didn't hurt and she took that as a good sign.

"We taught you the language while you slept," Markux noted softly behind her. "We all learned. Here we can...find a better way."

"...thank you father," she breathed, still staring up at the sun. "If I fail..."

"You won't child. We won't lose you."

She...really wished they'd face facts. That they'd focus on her twin yet...here they were. "I'll try. Jaeger's going to hate it..."

"So he's told us," Markux agreed quietly.

"...does he hate me?"

"Never dear."

She wasn't certain she believed him honestly but she let it go for now as she aired her wings. "People will be confused."

"Let them be," Markux chuckled softly. "We're good at making people listen anyway."

"I'm sorry to have scared you."

"Never dear, just keep breathing," he smiled, touching her hair. "And be with Corvus when we say hello to to the people?"

...ah. "Of course." How not? This was Egypt after all, animal mixes...were a good thing.

"We can go around the bounty festival?" she chuckled softly. "I add layers, I promise."

[code_jaeger]

"Okay." he nodded.

[petal_storm]

"I like a chance to help besides feeding people?" she assured, weaving through the garden to a raised divan with gauzy drapes. Her 'room' for lack of a better term, and there were heavy white robes she pulled out of a chest?

[code_jaeger]

"Wait... is that... am I in your bedroom?" he flushed.

[petal_storm]

"I live in my garden," she chuckled softly. "The priests and acolytes live in other chambers, this is...holy."

[code_jaeger]

"Oh..." he blinked.

[petal_storm]

"Their terminology, not mine. Help me into this?"

[code_jaeger]

She was naked... oh my god... "Uhh… uhm… okay."

[petal_storm]

She was wearing paint like...many here? All gold lines along lilac skin? Fun thing the purple wasn't paint? It just got so damn dry here... "Thank you," she sighed, shrugging into the much heavier robe and...heading toward a wall fountain to soak it yes.

[code_jaeger]

And then that was form fit... Worst time for libido... shit.

[petal_storm]

"Let us find your connections," she smiled, taking his arm.

[code_jaeger]

Goosebumps yes? Yes. Oh.... her skin felt very nice. Shit... okay keep it cool.

[petal_storm]

"...are you alright? You swayed. The dampness can be strange for some..."

[code_jaeger]

"No its not that." what the fuck was going on with his voice!?

[petal_storm]

"...alright then," she blinked, pulling her hood up so not even her chin was visible under the droop of the brim.

[code_jaeger]

He swallowed and kept pace with her yes.

[petal_storm]

Well she had them out a side exit and...trailing toward his temple before too long? Hmmmm.

[code_jaeger]

He much preferred hers honestly. Thiers was hot and dry.

[petal_storm]

Theirs was a work in progress! "We're...headed to personal chambers?" she winced. "Are we intruding?"

[code_jaeger]

"Hmm... That's my parents room..."

[petal_storm]

"It is," Markux agreed, drifting to the door. "Who is this then Jaeger?" he chuckled.

[code_jaeger]

"This is uhm……" he blanked. He could just see the outline of... her everything out of the corner of her eye and it was really distracting. "Orchid."

[petal_storm]

"Orchid, sneaking her in cloaked?" Markux chuckled. "Nice to meet you dear."

"...nice to meet his family as well," Orchid chuckled.

[code_jaeger]

"She has to be …" none of the words he could come up with were.... appropriate.

[petal_storm]

"...that's an odd place to stop," Markux laughed. "Kept secret perhaps?"

"Ah, no, I am from another temple though?" Orchid admitted. "May we come in? Things Jaeger is attached to are in here?"

"Hmmmm, we did pack a great deal from our...homeland."
