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.

"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."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"...ah okay. I was thinking absent minded."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"No." he chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Okay, absent fluffing. Feels odd."

"It's alright dear, I'm sure you'll keep analyzing," Dahlia chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Yes." He smiled.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Okay," she huffed. "You don't make feel itchy by the way Jaeger. Nor the lady Ana, just red leader."

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"I wonder why..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I don't know but I'll keep thinking about it," she sighed, absently pulling a gold leaf inlaid sun tile off the table.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Alright." He nodded. "if you have questions you can ask him?"

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Not yet but I probably will?" Shiny churred yes.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Sure." He nodded.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"I have no idea how they're playing Mahjong as a group," she mused, staring at the others. "Can I keep this shiny?"

"It...is an important piece I'm afraid," Ana chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Take something from the wall?" Shinose chuckled.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"From the wall?" Elora blinked.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

Shinose looked over to the wall in the other room covered in... a great many things yes.

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

Ah, well in her defense the sitting room had less wall and more screens? Bah. "Trophies," she blinked.

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Sort of..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Sort of?" Were they confiscated cursed objects or something?

Re: Egypt

[code_jaeger]

"Memories... of my old life..."

Re: Egypt

[petal_storm]

"Ah," she mused, tilting her head to look that room over better. "Not a pleasant one."
