Emancipation

[Corwin]

"I think so," Seira says slowly, gently pulling on the prophecy until she highlights the section she had been focusing on recently. "See there? The assumption expressed here clashes with empirical data from actually fighting Shar. The combination of the God-King's Judgement and the Abolition War resolving in our favor allowed Selune to highlight the difference with her expedition into Shadow. It's not huge, and it's not a guarantee, but it's a chink in the armor. It's a possibility where none existed before, so as far as I'm concerned it's a hundred percent true!"

[Anastasia]

"Now to get the rest of Creation to agree," Amaryl says softly, reading. "If we can keep going and weaken her further while getting stronger, then...."

[Corwin]

"I'm not going to Primus with this, I'll need to have another point of reference first. So once Selune or Lathander decide on a fresh expedition...."

Seira shrugs, leaning back. "I'll take the hint and give this a rest, though. How about we grab Kascha and ask her how her efforts at establishing a school in the Eastlands are going?"

[Anastasia]

Gimme a d100 real quick, sounds like a good idea, though.

[Corwin]

23:04 <Seira> roll 1d100
23:04 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 100 > [d100=100]

[Anastasia]

You check and see Kascha is sitting in her room, in a simple nightgown of red silk. She's blushing, hands to her cheeks as a smile has fully bloomed on her face.

[Corwin]

Seira manifests in Kascha's room with Amaryl in that moment!

[Anastasia]

No reaction, Kascha in her own world. She's humming softly as can be, "Oh, Madardal." she says in a dreamy voice. "The song is beautiful."

[Corwin]

Seira tries to listen in! Surely that's how pantheons do it when it comes to prayer, and she has to start somewhere.

[Anastasia]

You can when it's a pantheon thing and she wouldn't resist you, sure. Important provisos.

A man's voice, a strong voice, singing a song of a delicate maiden. A love song, and at the end he says, "Dedicated to Kascha, a prayer to this new maiden who serves our minds."

[Corwin]

Seira weighs the desire to tease her with the equally strong desire to see Kascha grow into her role, and quietly slips away with Amaryl. They can take a nice walk through the royal gardens and return once Kascha seems back to her senses.

[Anastasia]

Once you're away, "That was lovely," Amaryl says, "Did you hear it?"

[Corwin]

"Of course! That's why I decided to let her enjoy it without needless embarrassment."

[Anastasia]

Smiling all the while, Amaryl takes your hand. "I just hope she doesn't get a crush on him. Well, a serious one."

[Corwin]

"Crushes are the spice of life, so it's all good."
