Beastland wanderings

[Anastasia]

"I suggest it's used with all haste," Jessica points out, "Preferably now. Before others have a chance to realize what you hold and try to take it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and heads back to the tower to see how many charges it has and discuss who uses them.

[Anastasia]

As you start to go, "You understand now means now, do you not?" Jessica adds, rather pointedly.

"Ahem," Jarem clears his throat as Dolmaya stirs, "This is hardly a good place, but are matters that grave?"

"Yes, unless you believe that Shaundakul and Selune will both turn a blind eye to such a thing," Jessica says, bluntly and to the point. "Each side is an unreplaceable treasure unlike any other in Creation, save the other seeds. They're an incredible opportunity. Only a blind fool would let that pass easily."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa raises an eyebrow, "Well... Fair point, but I don't think either will honestly try anything. That said, we can go Moore's realm for this if you feel safer that way."

Greater Plane Shift, GOOOOO!

[Anastasia]

"We'll come back for the gold after," Jarem notes, "No point in letting it sit there, the Guardian's gone now."

As you shift you feel the light of Chronias. It shines so bright here as you appear...in a room in Hope's Landing. One of Moore's rooms where he greets guests. Not really where you aimed for, but it seems to be where you ended up.

Bastian goes to sit in one of the chairs, and with a heavy breath out, "Good fight. So..." he looks at the seed. "Now what?"

Dolmaya slumps into a chair as her wounds continue to mend, a bloodied mess, "We have decisions to make."

"Big ones," Jarem agrees, going to rest as well. He takes off his helmet and runs a hand over his wet, sweaty head. "How many times can it be used?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa inspects the seed!

[Anastasia]

The seed holds three charges within it, alive and ready.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Three it seems. I'll start the discussion by saying it only makes sense to me to offer one to Jessica for her help. Agreed?"

[Anastasia]

"It's only fair," Bastian says at last.

Jessica interrupts with a gentle, "Alyssa. Do you know what my sister's biggest strength is?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"No. I can't say that we've worked together enough to really get a feel for each other."

[Anastasia]

"She can make allies so easily," Jessica explains, "I've never had the gift she has, but she's taught me the wisdom of it. My price is," She comes over and offers her hand, "Friendship and alliance. We're both new to divinity, we'll need each other's help."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa looks confused as she takes her hand, "Well, I had sort of already assumed that much. Friends help each other, and you've helped us. Now, I'm not saying you're going to be a Godmother or anything any time soon, but to me, there's a level of friendship that comes with that automatically.

Are you sure, absolutely positive, that you don't want a part of this Seed? It's entirely your due, and being humble and passing on it might not be the best choice for the coming fights."

[Anastasia]

"We need friends going forward," Jessica explains, "I've seen how my sister has grown with friends like Sulia and now Queen. I'm sure."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "At the very least, you'll get a portion of the gold, then. Thank you again, Jessica."

Alyssa then turns to the others, "So that's three charges to distribute. Opinions?"

[Anastasia]

"Do we want this? Now's the time to decide," Jarem speaks up. "Bastian, Dolmaya?"

Dolmaya's wounds are mostly mended by now as she watches, and slowly, "Bastian?"

Bastian scowls a little bit as, "So I'm the half blood?" he declares, before, "Fine. Fuck that. Jarem, you started it, you answer first."

"Fuck you," Jarem laughs, a smile growing on his face. "I'll take one," he says at last. "Dolmaya?"

Dolmaya shakes her head, "I'll become One if I change my mind. But this is too much too fast, and my magic is strong enough to keep up."
