The time will come...

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.

"Mmmm, well, it seems Jaeger has steadied out."

* * *

"Yes, scribes do not...look on gods well. In fact most do not. It hinders learning."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"He has yes."

---

"Ah, I will." He smiled. "Markux may help me. He's better at teaching than I am. Would you like to visit Japan with me?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Mmhmmm, that's best," she smiled. Yes, she'd had faith in her boy.

* * *

"Who is Markux?" She hadn't met them? Ah. "I have never been so far from my garden but I will...try? I may not manage to stay long."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Seems he might return on his own as well."

---

"One of my fathers." he noted. He smiled. "That's okay. I won't keep you longer than you're comfortable. Its a bit cooler there, you might want a robe or something to stay warmer with."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Mmmhmmmm, that he very well might."

* * *

"Ah, you have several?" she blinked. "Oh...I...am not certain I have anything designed for...warmth." But she could get one of the heavier linen robes and not soak it perhaps?

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"That's good, he's more level than I expected honestly."

---

"Hmm, wear mine I left here in addition to yours?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Yes, solid bond grounded him hard I think."

* * *

"...but then you will be naked and cold?" she blinked.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Its a good thing." He nodded.

---

"No, I had an under robe and deal with cooler temperatures better now that I'm a red."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Very He was being dramatic and considering spiraling earlier."

* * *

"...ah, alright." she shrugged into the heavy robe and...looked for his discarded one? Yeeeah.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Hmm, seems so."

---

He handed it to her and put his lighter one on. He smiled and offered her his hand?

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Young men," she chuckled softly.

* * *

She was still fighting with getting the robes to layer, give her a moment! "Ack..."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Need help?" He chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...yes. I do not...wear robes. Often. Or many," she grumbled. "This sleeve is stuck and won't go over the other."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

He chuckled and fixed it yes. "Of course."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Thank you," she sniffed.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Mmmhm. Ready?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Yes," she wove her fingers in his and smiled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Alright." He took her out the side exit to open a door yes.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

That was best, she couldn't reach back without him and her vine there yes.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

He opened the door and stepped through holding her hand yes.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

Ohhhh, mucccch colder yes, but the rain was nice yessss. She lifted her face to it even as she shivered. "I always love rainy season..."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I thought you might like it."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"The rains roll into the sands like walking gods..." she smiled. "Months of water, and the Nile swelling...." but this was nice toooooo.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"They do. Its not as wrathful as the sandstorms we get in the future but..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"You will like the rains too. You'll see," she smiled. "The lands die in sand in your future?"
