A neverending field

[Anastasia]

I'll find someone who works. All it takes is a few droplets to start a river.

[Corwin]

Thanks again! Please have them help Fooze out. I'll intervene if there's something big or you call on me, but otherwise stay out of your way.

[Anastasia]

Anything else to do here, then?

Also, 100% pure curiosity, but why'd you choose Sanzha here?

[Corwin]

Let's skip to Aurora's arrival or the Dis meeting, please.

I picked Sanzha exactly for the reasons I stated, since I'm honest with my friends. She is the one best suited to navigate the trecherous halls of intrigue (Amaryl could but she doesn't like it, Elle could but she's too flamboyant for this, Donald, Kascha and Ranbar aren't suitable here). It's also a Prime of Interest (tm), so I would love for us to establish a stronger presence here, so we could kill two birds with one stone. Three birds, if we consider that Sanzha is the only one of us that doesn't have a favored Prime to fall back on for mortal followers, so Water aside this is a good chance for her to get started.

[Anastasia]

Fair enough, was just curious.

Soon enough you sense them arrive. It's a selection of leaders - not all generals as you recall, but you suppose they're using what they have or there's been structure changes. Morniel leads the group, along with Hanna, Ebony and the Master.

[Corwin]

Aurora itself did not arrive to Bytopia?

Seira decides to meet them in the war room of her palace, with Vayley tasked to guide her guests to it.

[Anastasia]

I assume it popped over, but was just focusing on the people who entered the Cauldron.

As you set this up and prepare?

"Oh!" Kascha calls, "They're here!" she smiles, "What a wonderful idea, Seira!"

[Corwin]

"I hope you still think that afterwards~" Snapping her fingers, Seira adds, "How about you stay? It makes sense if you do."

[Anastasia]

"You couldn't get me to leave," Kascha laughs lightly, "They look good, I'm glad they were able to come and rest a little bit from the current crusade."

[Corwin]

"Whatever else, Aurora will certainly find this a safe haven," Seira agrees, waiting for their arrival.

[Anastasia]

It's not long. Morniel enters first, and nods to you, "Lady Seira, The Golden Flame."

Ebony merely smiles as Kascha claps her hands together, "Morniel, how are you?" she comes forward. "Ebony, Hanna and the Master too!"

"You've grown," Hanna has a hand on her hip, "As if Baleruk hasn't been noisy enough about it."

[Corwin]

"We all have," Seira voices, even as her will closes the double doors behind them and seals off the room. "Please, take a seat." She follows her own suggestion, sitting down at the massive round table dominating the center of the room. "Thank you for taking my exceptionally subtle invitation so promptly."

[Anastasia]

Everyone comes on at your invitation, getting comfortable as greeting are exchanged.

"So this isn't merely a social call?" Ebony asks in the meantime.

[Corwin]

Seira blinks. "Clearly, I hadn't gone for max subtlety like I thought."

Smiling at Ebony as she shakes her head in amusement, Seira tells her, "Naturally, I and everyone here at the Cauldron is very pleased to have the Aurora visit. We would also love to offer a safe haven here in Bytopia for you whenever you need one, and since I believe this would be a first for you, there's no reason not to stay a while. However, I did have a reason to call you. Ah, but before I go into that, I did hope to hear more about the original generals. Adrian, Afina, Ithea and Jaela, weren't they?" she asks, glancing over at Kascha for confirmation. "Are they doing alright? General Jaela aside, do you remain in contact with them?"

[Anastasia]

It's Hanna who speaks here, "Jaela's fine," she says, "The Triune called on her."

"Afina seeks Gathgorian," Morniel says, "Adrian and Misalea work under Selune's command now, while Ithea is in Rapture and serves Sharess."
