Like I just had a nice nap.... [b]She looks around[/b] Uh, nice knowing you took me while I was napping, anything else I should know?

Edited by Sylok's Defiler: 6/30/2015 11:35:04 PMBecause my best option was to leave an unconscious you in the middle of a land of savages for a week. Anyhow, I'm glad you're well. We're in the new city on top of Perth Varcoe's ruins.
-
Well yeah. Sooooooooo what exactly happened?
-
You no longer have your powers.
-
Define "powers".
-
It's... Hard to explain... Do you remember anything of our fight? Anything of June and what she could do?
-
Yes. But I have other powers too. Powers somewhat like what you mean.
-
Unless they differ from what you received from your Queen, you no longer possess them.
-
They differ, so I guess I still have them... Well anyway, what exactly are we doing here...?
-
Bringing your queen back to life. [b]He turns around, waving you to follow, as he makes his way to the top of the castle.[/b]
-
[b]She hesitates, then gladly follows[/b] And how do you plan to do that?
-
We have the crystal, thanks to you. Now, all we need to do is offer blood from her killer, and praise from her followers, meaning you. Can you cry? As in on command?
-
Blood from her killer and someone crying. That sounds pretty... Normal now actually. By cry on command I hope you mean [i]act[/i]....
-
[b]He approaches the throne room door.[/b] So long as you can shed a tear. [b]He turns around, clasping his hands together.[/b] Right, so there are a few rules you need to follow, understand? First and foremost, do not speak to the Princess unless spoken to. Second, if the guy with the Cudgel bothers you, bother him back: it's his way of gauging you. Third, if the girl with the knives talks to you, don't make eye contact. Other then that, your attire should be acceptable.
-
I could think of something.... Hm.... I guess. So don't speak to the Queen, screw with the guy holding a heavy blunt instrument, and knife girl I have to look in the eye? [b]She grins slightly, then rubs her own hands together mischievous like[/b] Sounds so fun....
-
DON'T make eye contact with Hecate. She'll get thirsty. [b]He pushes open the doors: A marble floor adorned with a velvet carpet leads to a single throne, guards flanking each sides. Each stands to as you enter, saluting you and Dante. Several officials of the court look to you, whispering amongst each other.[/b] "So this is June's apprentice?" More or less, Milady. "Welcome to our new land, miss Serena. It is a pleasure to meet you."
-
[spoiler]lol I thought Hecate was a dude the whole time[/spoiler] [b]She nods modestly[/b] Pleasure to meet you too... Though I don't yet know who you are, other then what Dante has told me, which is your title.
-
"I am the daughter of the King who established the original monarchy. I descend from Lord Adam and the Deserter, but I rule this land in his name. Once we perform the ritual, you will be able to leave. Sir Savona, you have my permission to begin." [b]Dante nods, nudging you as he leaves your side. He removes June's Estoc from the wrap, the blood shimmering on the blade.[/b] The blood of the fallen, who we seek to restore, [b]He looks to you.[/b] The praise of her followers, who will worship once more...
-
[b]She shifts the weight from one foot to the other, waiting to be told what to do[/b]
-
[b]He gives you a motion with his head.[/b] [spoiler]cry dammit.[/spoiler]
-
Oh my cue to shed a tear right?
-
[b]His shoulders slump in a disappointed fashion; he nods once.[/b]
-
Hey nobody told me anything.... [b]She sighs, then closes her eyes, obviously trying to bring herself to shed a tear, and likely conjuring up whatever she can in her thoughts to help it along. Eventually one rolls down her cheek.[/b]
-
[b]Dante takes the estoc and retrieves the tear with its point.[/b] And the blessing of the lord, from whom all gods descend... [b]The crystal, lying on the marble floor is impaled by the sword, as if it was not a fragile object, but a malleable piece of skin. The Princess steps down from the throne, her hands glowing an aura so vastly bright. She makes a sign in the air; magic holding luminous sparks in place wherever she drags her subtle hand. The ground comes alive as purple fire erupts from the crystal, forming the silhouette of a familiar woman. The fire envelops the hilt of the sword, then recedes, uncovering the silky hand that once owned the blade. As the fires subside, a prostrate figure is kneeling on one knee, her hand gripping the sword. Her skin is cold and lifeless: the body is but a husk.[/b] ...we welcome our sister, [i]home once again.[/i] [b]Dante turns to you.[/b] You have one final task: breathe life into this stillborn conception. Speak to her.
-
[b]She nods slowly, then looks down[/b] So uh, hey June....
