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.

"Ah," he nodded.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Everything is confusing right now but thank you for helping Jaeger."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Sure."

"Is Japan almost all Reds? It feels that way as far as I can reach, one or two whites..."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"The whites are traveling at the moment. We share."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...no blacks?"

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Ah... no," He shook his head. "Most of them are either brainless or monsters."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...but the histories..." she blinked slowly then bent to cradle her head in his hands.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I'm really not sure what you mean by that dear..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...they can't all...who holds the histories if they're mad?"

"...there's black priests in Egypt?" Orchid blinked.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Those are clean. But the only court leader they have is... mad. Utterly tainted and mad. He eliminated the others."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...ah. He'll have to be removed. Holding all the histories alone will drive the rest mad elsewise..." she fluffed angrily.

"That was in the plans yes," Dahlia admitted, glancing up from the tile game.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Certainly. We have tried..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Naturally. We've some added firepower now though, and resources to lend."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Sure." He nodded.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"And a vested interest in destroying the creature." Very much so yes.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Is he the origin of the man you're looking for?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...yes. We'e far enough back they have yet to meet though."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Ah." he nodded. "Preferable I supposed."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"If his fate is to be turned then he can choose from safer options."

Elora...fluffed more at the idea yes.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

Jaeger looked at her. "No?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"....I have no idea," she admitted. "I can't tell if that was a good fluff or a bad fluff."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Absent fluffing is a thing." Corvus chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...too weirdly timed to be absent," she shook her wings out

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Absent meaning no clear meaning."
