4/16/2019 Blood Wings; Aspen's Assistance

[00:00] Aspen hovers lower towards the ground, breaking free those wings of blood that oft accompanied her person above her cascading dark locks. The child's hand is taken. By now she's able to speak little sentences, walk on her own, and whatever else a child is capable for this age!

"Alright. Let's hope for the best with Lord Sors Ultovex." A nod towards her husband, Aspen places a kiss upon his cheek. The child, giggling as usual at their little display of affection, speaks up, informing Aspen and Zephixo that she's ready as well!

"Perfect," Aspen whispers towards the little girl. Within the other hand of the Thalia thrall, the black, metallic hilt is wielded, forming blood in the slit by the bottom. The usual way she breaks through Eternia happens- ripping open a portal here to transport the trio to Dawn's settlement.

"And let's hope for the best within the settlement, mmh?" The woman side glances back towards the two, speaking with her usual calm tone of voice for her family.

With that, Aubrey is gestured to follow her mother through with Aspen being the first to enter, and the little girl, who's somewhat scared, coming behind her in pursuit.

[00:07] Zeph would move towards Aspen, his hands inside his cloak. Looking down towards Aubrey, there was a faint smile on his lips. She was starting to get big. That was a good and bad thing, to be brutally honest. Anyways, he had seen Sors quite a few times a decade ago. He hadn't seen the man since then.

Shrugging, he'd look towards Aspen as she placed the kiss onto his cheek. Chuckling a little, the Dryad would reach and run his fingers through her hair before bending down to rustle Aubrey's.

"Aren't you just precious, keh."

Finally, he'd stand to his full height as she created the rift. Man, it had been so long since he last set foot inside of Dawn. Considering all that's happened, it was only reasonable. Yet, Aspen was unbanned so that meant they could do just that.

"Indeed.. Let's go."

And with that, he followed.

[00:08] Vedran Ivanovich says, "..."
[00:08] Dylerun Grauhimmel whispers something.
[00:16] He grunted a little at the word 'experimental' and hovered up now.

"Well, I owe you both...I'll get some coin together to pay you both handsomely." Shaking his head, he'd look towards the door, and then back to Sors.

"Lord Ultovex...I have some questions for you later if you don't mind...I want to talk to you about some things I heard about recently, if that's okay."

[00:18] That threshold from with where they entered emerged the trio of Aspen, her two year old child, Aubrey, and Zephixo, within the proximity of Dawn. Gesturing forth, the little girl is picked up in the flying woman's hands who levitates off the grounds by her blood formed wings.

Little time is wasted in departing from the glaring eyes of its inhabitants -- the trio find themselves now in Dawn's Resurgence where Lord Sors Ultovex's presence is found, along with several others.

For now, she bobs in their air silently, observing the conversation they have, staring between the many when their voices break silence. Her grin has since disappeared, Aubrey holds on to Aspen tightly, afraid of the unfamiliar lands, new location, and more.

A faint, nearly inaudible huffed out laughter emerges from Aspen's parted lips to speak towards Aubrey in a whisper, informing the child that she's safe. And now- they wait. Impatiently. For the Resurgence to clear of the other bodies that are not the Adjudicator.
(Aspen Thalia)
[00:20] The gold and grey looked into the Adjucator's palm after Loretta had started to fly away. Her expression had changed to that of betrayal and harm, but his own was a flurry of confusion. There was an emptiness in his eyes.

"Unusual. I was reminded o' ma own undead."

The glove is wiped along his jacket as the girl darted away, like she was hurt. His own attention grew more serious.

"Sentimentality is weakness. Bonds are weakness. But her skill is beneficial. Adriel, go head an' ask when ya want, ya? I'll be 'spectin' ya."

Again he stared at his hand as the rattling chains filled the air and the slight hiss of snakes can be heard around him. "How unusually weak o' ma."
(Sors Ultovex)
[00:21] Adriel Isolet says, "Mmhm, I'll see you in a bit."
[00:27] A familiar ratting of chains permeates throughout the atmosphere, causing the Thalia's child to hide her face against Aspen's body. How shameful. For a two year old, perhaps Aspen expected more; for her own set of emotions to be kindred to the older woman's own. A sigh protrudes, glancing a quirked brow towards the little girl.

Then.. they trail away towards Loretta and Adriel's departures before flicking her deep mahogany eyes towards Dawn's newest Adjudicator after Alastor's passing.

"Lord Sors Ultovex," she begins, smirking maliciously. Finally; the time had come to meet with the man. "I've come to speak with you about something you wanted to summon me forth for years ago." Momentarily, she allows the room to fill with silence with a swift side glance given off towards the Dryad, Zephixo.

"First, do you believe Dawn's Resurgence is the most private area to speak in? These matters are.. immense. A certain someone has expected me to talk with you about.. what I've collected all of that material for."
(Aspen Thalia)
[00:30] There is no time wasted as new people arrive within the resurgence. Grey and gold focused on the glove remain, his other hand reaching outwards to his left. The horrible feeling floods the air as the lifestream itself rips appart the world. Without looking up, he turns to the rift, floating towards it.

"Thalia.

No. Come."

His words, almost orders, come quickly and easily. No time is wasted between what he wants and it's action.
(Sors Ultovex)
