Shadow rondo

[Ebiris]

Alicia hugs Mystra back before she steps aside to witness Lathander's arrival - while Marie then slots herself in before Mystra and spreads her arms invitingly with a big smile on her face.

"Latha has come far," Alicia says as the two sun deities stare off, somehow not needing to shade her eyes.

[Anastasia]

Marie gets a hug too. "You've earned this much," Mystra says, voice lighter than before.

Meanwhile Latha's smile is radiant before she says, "There will always be a path in Sylica for you and yours," she promises, her hand held out. It's taken in a vigorous shake.

"And a path to the House of Nature for yours," Lathander says, "No one has any objections, and we'll visit once the move's done. Mielikki's unicorns will want to visit, herds of them love to roam. Silvanus will be about, but he's everywhere trees are in Elysium. Chauntea will pop in time to time, but she's usually busy in the fields or seeing to this or that. There's also Eldath of course, but you're a little warlike for her tastes, but she may be around to gossip around the springs. So on and so fo-oh!"

Lathander pauses, "Reciprocal alteration rights. We should talk about that. Has Mystra?"

"Not yet," Mystra notes. "In short, I allow the House of Nature and the Archangels who qualify to alter my realm as if they were divine here, and in return they offer the same courtesy in their realms and in Elysium itself. Your friend Seira may not have had to deal with that with her recent move, due to the situation in Bytopia. The same offer is extended to Sylica by Dweomerheart, and by the House of Nature."

[Ebiris]

"Reciprocity is fair," Alicia says, "We won't go around ruining your landscape and can expect the same in turn... you already helped us with the defences around Dragodan," she nods respectfully to Lathander while Marie gives Mystra a big squeeze and lets go.

[Anastasia]

"Most of it's simple courtesy, remember you're a guest in other realms." Lathander agrees.

"I'd like Sylica and Dweomerheart to be within sight of one another," Mystra goes on, "I want our realms to be close."

[Ebiris]

"We could make space on the plains below Dweomerheart to include Sylica," Alicia says. "We're already on the Oceanus so creating a great channel to fit our archipelago in there could work."

[Anastasia]

"You can make as much space as you need," Mystra agrees, "If you haven't figured it out yet in Sylica, I'll show you how to manipulate space for that."

[Ebiris]

"We expanded Sylica's area recently but I imagine we'll need a bit more finesse to fit it into an existing plane so please show us how," Alicia says, eager to learn from Mystra.

[Anastasia]

"The simple rule is that our realm as are large as they need be. Another rule, lesser known, is that our realms connect where they connect. If your realm occupies a space of 100 miles and yet one part of it alone is 10,000 miles, it will still work." Mystra explains, "So long as the borders are properly defined."

[Ebiris]

That more or less matches her experience with having Sylica grow out of it's demiplane and onto Ysgard. "So how do we begin?"

[Anastasia]

"Go to Sylica and begin. Our wills all combined will allow it, as ultimately your realm is tied to all of you." Mystra explains.

[Ebiris]

"Alright ladies, lets go back home," Alicia says to her pantheon. "And make sure anyone we've got wandering out onto Ysgard makes their way home first."

[Anastasia]

You head back. Once you do, preparations begin. AS they do...

Anything you need to mention or cover IC along those lines?

[Ebiris]

I don't think so?

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you all gather. IT is time, everything is prepared. Antenora, Marie, Syala, Latha, Jessica. The six of you are together and ready. It's time to move Sylica.

"Our wills, together," Antenora says, hands taken, "Let us stand in a circle and do this."

[Ebiris]

It's not just them. They stand in the plaza before Liberton, their proxies recalled to attend as well - even Mazel. Word has been spread of Alicia's ascension as a deity and that Sylica is moving to a place better befitting its deities' range across the ethical spectrum. Time is allowed for all who wish to witness the event to crowd Mercia as the six goddesses join hands in a circle.

The borders shift, the sea surrounding Sylica and marking its connection with Ysgard becoming wreathed in fog, dense clouds blotting out the sky as their divine realm transitions fully from one plane to another.

Thank you, Ysgard.

We'll bring a little piece of you with us to Elysium, in our hearts.
