Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Seems her vision is already going due to age, but that's only hindering you. She keeps trying to get Avis to channel freezing energies to her feet, while Avis is more intent on making (and eating) ice shards.

 

I disable Xephyr's consciousness, so it feels like she simply blacked out, before taking over control of her body.

"That's okay, Avis, you can eat all the ice shards you want!" I say through Xephyr happily, picking up any ice shards left lying about and handing it to Avis.

 

Avis pauses, looking at Xephyr blankly.
"Mama, why is your breath dark?" She asks in a childish voice, a bit higher pitched than you expected.
On the flipside, she's content with eating the ice shards.

 

"Don't worry about that, little Avis. Just keep on eating the ice shards. You don't need to learn more than making food for yourself!" I say through Xephyr kindly, helping Avis eat.

 

Avis pauses, then takes a step backwards.
"Mama, what's wrong?"

 

I sit down, putting a hand on my head.

"Oh dear...I'm not feeling to well..." I say through Xephyr, before falsely coughing, appearing weak.

 

"I can tell... it's not as cold as it was. Should I go get the scary lady whose daughter is a good healer?"

 

"I-I just need a lie down for a bit, Avis," I say through Xephyr, making her lay down on the shore, "Look for Aj, I-I'm sure he can t-take care of you."

I leave Xephyr's body, keeping her unconscious on the shore, before appearing behind Avis.

"Hello there, little dragon." I say, looming behind Avis, a dark aura surrounding me.

 

Avis seems mostly occupied spitting ice on Xephyr.
"Who's Aj?
...Mama?
...Mama, who's Aj?" She asks nervously, trying to keep Xephyr cold.

 

"That would be me. Don't worry, she's just unconscious," I say, stepping around the the side of Xephyr, "Now, while Xephyr's having a 'Lie down' I think I have some caring duties to take care of with you."

I summon a crystal as blue as a sapphire, before crushing it and quickly letting go. It drops onto Xephyr, and a sheet of ice forms around her and the nearby terrain.

 

"Are you dada?" Avis asks, nervously watching you.

 

"Biologically, no, I am not your father, nor am I married to Xephyr. But, if that would make you feel better, you can call me 'Dada'." I say, straight.

 

"If you're not dada then I won't talk to you anymore!" Avis pouts, turning to gnaw on the ice sheet you put over Xephyr.

 

"Then I am 'dada'." I say, shrugging.

 

"But you just said you weren't dada. Now I want mama!"

 

"'Mama' is unconscious- I mean, she's having a lie down right now. Say, why don't we resume that training you were doing, hm?" I ask, holding up an ice shard.

 

"You're not mama, and you're not dada." Avis pouts louder. "Mama also said not to talk to strangers."

 

I draw Shadow Katana, pointing it at Avis.

"Don't make me use force. I know your soul is valuable. It'd be such a shame to waste it."

 

Avis freezes up.
"Y-you killed mama...?" She whimpers.

 

"Be a good little dragon, now, and resume your training, and nothing bad will happen, hm? Now why don't we practise shape shifting?" I ask, a twisted kindness in my voice.
