Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Ah ok."
I attempt to deactivate the sigil.

 

"Yes, I decided to go into hiding for a while, on a sort of neutral ground. Then Eras showed me Aurilon. That completely changed me..."

"It's okay. Does shapeshifting copy the null effect of the bracelet?"
Her bracelets are definitely glowing, as if she's struggling to use magic somehow. You can almost feel magic crackling within it.

 

It works, and Ren goes invisible, not even becoming as much as an outline.
"Thank you, king."

"She only copies your form. She can't mimic any of your knowledge or abilities."

"Well, I'm glad you've turned around. I hope things'll look up for you soon."

 

"I meant the bracelet, but that's good. Otherwise, she might have trouble turning back."

"Thank you. Just seeing my daughter again after 10,000 years was enough..."
---
"Oh yes, I didn't notice anything else for a while. I guess I wanted to learn a new language more than I thought."

 

"Do you know how to fight? How to defend yourself?"

 

Avis goes back to her little self, nuzzling Anna again.

"That's... quite some time."
-----
"Well, you actually accidentally tripped one of those glyph spells. It really has been a while. Are you okay?"

"I don't fight.
Can only hide."

 

"I see. I shall bring a small stockpile of food down here so you can eat without me going down here."
I close the bubble on any empty plates and teleport back to the dining hall.

 

"Was the food sufficient, sir?"

 

Anna starts stroking her again.
Which is slightly unnerving when you feel a hum of energy coming from the hand she strokes Avis with.

"I had to go into hiding for a long time. It also takes a long time to mourn an entire kingdom."
---
"Yes. Why? How long was I reading for?"

 

Avis darts back onto Xephyr's tail.
"It's okay, Avis. She won't hurt you."

"At least you're able to see the flowers amidst the fire you've made."
---
"Survive and I'll tell you."
You definitely aren't at the library anymore.

The arm with your sword-mace is vaporized in a blast of magic that's a combination of lava and light.

 

"Yes. However, my guest requests for five bottles of wine and water, and for ten assorted dishes. You are to not spare any resources in maing these. Make these meals as fulfilling as possible Understood?"

 

"Understood. They will be ready before anything else."

 

I nod, before teleporting back to my throne room.

 

This time, it's just you in here.

 

I call for the chief of the armed forces.

 

He runs in, saluting.
"Sir?"

 

"I want you to send several squadrons across The Wastelands to gather information about this new race. These...draconians. I want to know more about these creatures. Understood?"

 

"That's...weird. She's not one to do such things like that, and I'm pretty sure she hates Drake." Artemis says, looking over at Abigail.

"Hey. I guess you two want to go back now?" Shadow Stephanie asks.

 

"Yes, sir! If we find any of them, do we capture or kill?"

________________________________

"No kidding. Ugh... She really scared me. I didn't want to hurt her, but she needed distracting. I have no idea what was into her. For once, I agree with the confusing one."

 

Artemis tries to keep herself from falling asleep on Rineth's back, occasionally checking on Abigail to make sure she's alright. Abigail remains unconscious for the entire journey back.
