    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Per @Manbearcat: Here's a quick reminder of what needs to be done: An earlier turn of Arunny's: Arunny successfully exorcised the Dawnflame from Ibhea, so that Ibhea lost both Dawnflame Aura and Dawnflame Emnity. ARUNNY watches as the figure of flame before her seems to morph its form...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    ARUNNY is still reeling from the fiery feedback washing over her when she hears Qamra call her name from outside the Vault. Earlier the young warrior rushed after the stumbling Xin Mae as soon as he was able to leave the vault. Now she is frantically calling to her mentor to "come quickly and...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    For the purposes of color, let's assume that the magic effect of the cathedral's domed roof allow for malleability of projection: e.g. a speaker can allow projects of any particular moments of celestial positioning. Before her mad companion can answer the demand, ARUNNY herself steps forward...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Hitherto Strategos Farbad's warning, ARUNNY has been following along, giving Maba's blessings of protection and vigor to those along the way. However, at his words, the priestess stops suddenly in her tracks and looks up sharply, eyes flashing with a growing storm within. She then strides...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    ARUNNY continues to stare at the unbearably lovely alpine flowers as she allows the basso thrum to reverberate against her bones. She can feel something stirring in them, in her being. And she waits. Naturally, her apparently distracted silence adds to Xin Mae's anxiety, and he begins to...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Metacommentary from @Manbearcat: Alright, my thoughts are as follows. This successful move does in fact source Delban as an interested agent in you guys’ achieving the evinced goal of the SC, right? That is my reading of what you’ve written in the thread, @darkbard . If true, then we’re at a...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    ARUNNY is drawn out of her preoccupation of how to solve a problem like Ibhea by Xin Mae's increasingly frantic attempts to light his torch. She turns her head to better take in the strange stillness in the air, the overlay of sickly sweet odor combatting the more homey, earthy, comforting...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    After putting enough distance between the witch and themselves, the travelers pause for a quick bit of refreshment and war council, the key point of which is to find a way to silence Vruk's exuberance without stifling his enthusiasm to aid them. ARUNNY sips the herbal concoction Xin Mae has...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Through the thin, cold air, they all walk and walk through the ancient forest--seeming without end--ARUNNY's attention occasionally caught by strange discrepancies here and there. An immense elder pine seems to shimmer and a much younger, smaller sapling reveals itself for a moment before...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    The sensation as the group passes through the shimmering portal into this brave new world is confusing to Arunny's fellow travelers. At first they are chilled absolutely to the bone, frost beginning to appear on their clothes and skin. Then--almost immediately--the frost transforms itself into a...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    ARUNNY thoughtfully drinks her qahveh, thinking through their journey and arrival to this place, to these two very different men, the Scrivener as verbose as the halveh they have been served, the Priest as laconic as the bitter taste of her drink. That flavor holds her firmly in the here and...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    ARUNNY QAMRA Arunny holds her conviction with absolute certainty: where they must go is not just a place but a time. Itirilmish! That city lost to time and only recently rediscovered in its fallen state by traders and relic hunters. Ibhea spoke of the place—its crumbling wonders of golden...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    With instincts manifested through life in the beforetimes with her clan and further honed into sharpness through the adventures in the nowtimes with her gosb'tar and their various companions, PA'AVU immediately understands the impending danger. For the Remorhaz to escape upwards would be...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU's eyes widen in surprise as her gosb'tar reappears before them. His disappearance has not been quite long enough for her to become concerned, but she is not used to the lack of any sense of his "voice" within her mind. If she were less stoic in demeanor, relief would rest on her...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    (1) PA'AVU smiles grimly at the e'dahi's vainglorious words and smug assumptions and steps forward, baring her sharp teeth and lifting her fist to palm still higher, a motion Edj'd'ha aiid Y'zlv'dahi should well remember from his rout by her people as one of power, threat, and victory--all in...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    As the echoes of time multiply and reverberate, concatenate, retract, CHANVATI frees his extravagant piezoelectric topaz zills from a waistcoat pocket. If he is to battle wits with a dragon, he shall need every advantage at his disposal! Hastily, he percusses a flat rhythm. Then, in his sweet...
