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.

"...ah. I do not think that is...how it works in my home? All Deathwalkers are sworn to temples, they share as easily as temples do?"

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Ah." He noted.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"We are not perfect, by far, but...we try?"

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I know." he nodded.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Now...now it is cold," she admitted, lips a slightly blue shade of red as she kept watching the rain. "And there's seeds..."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Alright, lets go inside." he smiled. "My mother is in there."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Alright. I will not be making a blood offering here. Will that be rude?"

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"They cant have your blood." He hissed.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Ah, not rude then," she chuckled, touching his arm gently.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"No dear, mates are generally off limits." Shinose noted from the doorway. "Please, come in."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Hello, I would appreciate warmth, though your rain is lovelt," she allowed."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Of course." he nodded. "The table has a heater under it. Come, sit. Would you like tea?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Yes, please," she smiled, nodding to the woman he was already serving tea then shifting to Sit on Shinose's side of the table yes. "Exciting day," Ans chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Mmm, yes." he smiled kissing her shoulder.

Jaeger sat opposite her.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

She shivered pleasantly, tracing fingers along his cheek gently, "the girl is still hunting with her father..."

Orchid settled beside Jaeger gratefully, then Dahlia grinned, "hello I'm his mother."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"That's my mother, Dahlia. My sister and her father will be back soon and you can meet them?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Flower," Orchid greeted, blinking. "Her father is not yours?"

"All my husbands are all their fathers, it's complicated," Dahlia grinned.

"Ah."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Genetically he's not but he is as much my father as the other two. They raised us together."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Ah, only a minor thing that he is not, I see." Yup.

"I'll take you back when we leave the boys for training?" Dahlia chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Boys?" Jaeger blinked.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"You and Shinose. Boys only club for your training," she grinned.

"Ah, shall I be leaving?" Ana asked her mate.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"First I'd heard of it but..." Shinose noted.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Female festival coming up and you can people watch a bit? Come back all covered in flowers and cloth?" Dahlia chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Oooh, if you'd like to go you should." Shinose smiled. "You should take the living petal! I'm sure she could find new flowers for her temple."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I like this plan," Dahlia grinned.

"I...need to be home though?" Orchid blinked.

"Yes, we'll stay in Egypt for a few days and show Ana the temples then come back for the festival."

"...I would like to find new silks," Ana admitted. "For you my lord mte and for me..."
