Wrap up (Various)

[Ebiris]

Well nevermind that, straight onto business! "We're intending on taking a trip to the Para-Elemental Plane of Ice," she explains. "As part of better understanding my status as a prismatic being I'm investigating places of power amidst the para-elemental planes, since I've so far neglected them to focus on the main four. Considering your own time spent on Water you'd be a good fit for your perspective on things and it'd be nice for us to go on a mission together and get a feel for working side by side."

"I'll need to take precautions at first. Will we be going underwater? Fur linings aren't worth if we are, though they look so good and they're about due to be in fashion again," Bubbles considers, "Do you know the color of the area we'll be in? All blue and ice whites?" She considers, "You'll stand out marvelously as you are, and your red hair will be like a splash of warmth there," Bubbles takes a long look at Mirajane's hair, "Yes, yes, that'll do. I'm thinking I'll need to complete the set."

[Ebiris]

"Blue and ice whites are a given," Afina agrees. "Going underwater's fairly unlikely since where we're going it should all be frozen. Speaking of coordination though, if you like I could bestow on you the essence of Air, making you part elemental for a day. The cold wouldn't bother you but your appearance would change a little and you'd find yourself more attuned to the breeze."

[Anastasia]

"I'm thinking...oh, that would change everything," Bubbles says, "Yes, I'll do that when we leave."

[Ebiris]

Even though it does weaken her a little, Afina enjoys sharing the blessings of the elements. Drawing Afame from its sheathe on her back she taps it against the back of Bubbles' wrist, transferring a portion of her vitality away to make the nymph a creature of Air.

+1 natural armour, immune to disease and cold, +4 saves vs poison, +2 dex/con/int/wis/cha, and the following 1/day SLAs: obscuring mist, wind wall, gaseous form, air walk, control winds, control weather, elemental swarm, and plane shift

[Anastasia]

Bubbles now looks airier, thinner and wispy. "Hm," she says, "I can work with this." Her hair is now transparent, flowing with an unseen wind. "Yes, yes. Let me meet with you in an hour...no, two. I'll be ready then."

[Ebiris]

"That's fine, there's no great rush," Afina says, nodding and giving Bubbles' new look an up and down in the process. Should probably try Water sometime, that'd no doubt suit her better. "I've got a few things to work on in the laboratories. You can stick with me and watch or entertain yourself in the meantime?" she offers to Mirajane. "We'll all meet up by the gates in two hours."

[Anastasia]

As you head back to the lab, you yawn - and then again, a second  yawn. Mmm. How strange, you feel a deep sleepiness overtaking you.

[Ebiris]

"Or... I think a nap's in order," Afina decides. She might ordinarily be concerned at sudden sleepiness, but Morwel holds dominion over dreams, and she does intend to seek out the Lady of the Lake once more. Perhaps she knows and is pre-empting it? "Apologies Mirajane, send Elena to wake me if I'm not there in two hours," she says, splitting off and taking a portal to the officer's quarters where she quickly finds her own and after creating an illusion of her sleeping form on the bed she turns invisible and lays herself down on a high shelf to sleep as is her habit.

[Anastasia]

Sleep comes. You drift...you're warm. You're being held in strong arms, picked up. 'Oh Lief," A woman's voice says, wondrous to hear. "You fought for what was right and suffered to save an entire world." Your eyes crack open. You see a blurry, indistinct woman holding you. But all around her is clear - the Yggdrasil. You are in its branches. "I'm proud of you, my child. You will be honored as one of Yggdrasil's honor guard for a time, until you are ready to move on. Your battles are over, you have finished the race. Rest for now and awaken when you are ready."

You feel yourself slipping back to unawareness, but her voice speaks again as you do. "Tell your Queen and Crystal of this. Know that Lief will be honored for what he has done."

Then you awaken on your shelf, groggy and disoriented.

Being the one to get a bit of Lief's memories and a bonus feat also came with a few other things. This is one of them.

[Ebiris]

She had questions, but this is good to know too! Getting up and rubbing her eyes, she dismisses the illusion and takes a moment to fix her appearance with a cantrip, re-equipping herself before flying off and going to call on Court.

[Anastasia]

You find the court busy. Everyone's around, chatting and talking. However, the throne's empty, though Lady Skye stands before it. You also spot Crystal talking with several other pixies, nymphs and satyrs a ways away.

Your presence gets a few nods and the music - a lively lute piece - dips to allow a single horn note to sound.

[Ebiris]

Is that her motif now? Well she's had worse. Flying over towards Crystal she intrudes herself on the proceedings. "Crystal, can I pull you away for a moment?" she asks.

[Anastasia]

Crystal makes her apologies and flies away with you. "Yes," she asks, following. "Whatever is it, has something gone awry or does Aurora need my services this fine day?"

[Ebiris]

"You sound oddly verbose," Afina remarks, giving her fellow fairy a sidelong look. "But no, nothing in particular's wrong. I had a dream though, and was compelled to share it with you," she explains as they come to a stop behind a pillar. "It was about Lief, I saw him at Yggdrasil, with what I'm sure is Queen Titania. He is one of the World Tree's guardians now, until such a time as he feels rested enough to move on once more."
