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.

"Petals. I am more flower than...most," she admitted softly. "I do not mind your skin. You're warm," she smiled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

He smiled. "That's good. I like the way your skin feels." He didn't have much on under the robes.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

Well, he didn't want to cook no, she smiled and pulled him down onto a mossy section, "that is a nice compliment."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I really like this place." He admitted.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I need it, warm and wet, every temple needs a mystery hmmm?" she smiled, rolling atop him lithely.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

His breath hitched yes, part excitement, part anticipation. "You're gorgeous."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I'm a deity," she smiled, hands braced on his chest, "I'm suppose to be."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"We're quite... normal where I come from." He noted. "Its normal to have abilities and be some mix of animal."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Ah, perhaps I am from there," she shrugged.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Do you feel like that?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I feel...Idon't know. I woke here. I was not born, I simply...started to exist. Here."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"That's... strange." he frowned. "Maybe when you visit, my mother can look into it. Would that help you?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"It is...passing. I wonder why I exist sometimes, but your home sounds...nice."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"It has its moments." He noted gripping her hips lightly.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

She slid along him gently, smiling, "ahhhh, I see. Did you leave...someone?"

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"No, I never found anyone that... matched me I guess." Ah.... that felt nice.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I see, just...attractions?" she chuckled, flexing painted nails against his chest.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Most weren't interested in keeping me for long." He admitted.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Do you want to be kept?" she smiled, teasing him again.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Well..." he noted thinking about it. "I just don't want to be expendable?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"No, people are not," she smiled. "Consider what you'd like...as the days pass?" She wasn't going anywhere?

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I will." He nodded kneading her hips.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Impatient," she chuckled, reaching down to help him line up yes. "Eager young deity." She liked him yes.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I can be patient..." He snorted.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Don't bother, I tease," she smiled, breathing a gasp as she lined up properly yes.
