To the root

"Go back? Wasn't she going off somewhere with Alicia?" Emily points out.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I believe so, but I'm not sure what they're doing, or if we should interrupt. Perhaps waiting? Or I can speak to her with my divine voice."

[Anastasia]

"Best to ask her directly," Emily says, smiling a little. "Mom tells me deities do this a lot."

[Iron Dragoon]

Directly? As in with divine voice or in person?

[Anastasia]

Ask her if you aren't clear, it was an IC comment.

[Iron Dragoon]

I thought I might have just been missing something.

"Directly as in with the voice?"

[Anastasia]

"Oh yes, the voice," Emily says immediately, "You do realize it's this?"

Like this.

[Iron Dragoon]

Yes, Shaundakul explained it to me.

Alyssa refocuses her attention to Queen, Queen, would you have a moment to speak?

[Anastasia]

'A moment,' Queen agrees, 'Speak swiftly.'

[Iron Dragoon]

I wanted to try an experiment to connect the gate so it's accessible. Would you allow this in your realm, or would you prefer I do it elsewhere?

[Anastasia]

'Explain further,' A short, terse answer.

[Iron Dragoon]

I'm not sure I can... I'd be using my influence over my portfolio along with the Words of Creation to forge a path.

[Anastasia]

'This gate, can you reach it any other way?'

[Iron Dragoon]

I have no idea, I've never tried to connect to an isolated plane before. What I can do is try to anchor it in another realm. I won't lie, I think it could be dangerous if things go wrong. If you prefer, I can to try to do it in my own home plane. I'm simply offering because, if it does work, you'll have access to the new plane first hand as thanks for your help. Though, until I try, I don't know if it can be connected anywhere but here.

[Anastasia]

'You tread in dangerous waters.' Is the answer at last. 'It must wait until my return then.'
