A neverending field

[Anastasia]

Okay.

"Honestly?" Kascha hesitates a moment, "It's more trouble than it's worth, Seira. Just don't tell him I said that," With a faint blush, "He's so loud and outspoken about everything. He's the king of his cave in Aurora, and that may be best."

[Corwin]

"Ah, well." Seira shrugs. "It's a shame, but you're the expert here."

[Anastasia]

"Can you imagine his bellow across the Cauldron, or when he leans in to stare to you, eye first?" Kascha smiles when she says this, "Or if he wants to compare hordes? Can you imagine how the great and mighty Baleruk would demand so and press so, in the way he does?"

[Corwin]

So dragon Elle, right? A more draconic Elle, that is. Maybe with a dash of Sanzha and Donald.

"I suppose we've filled our quota on flamboyant dragons with dubious tact," Seira muses. "Look over Aurora, will you? If they come back and I'm in the middle of something crucial, handle their request? Honestly, so long as Afina gets the message and is properly protected, it's all good. That asshole Gathgorian kept trying to creepily pass on threats to her, so best she's able to compete with him on the same level and put him down."

[Anastasia]

"I will, Seira," Kascha says and smiles slowly, "Oh, now Surru on the other hand, if he wasn't so busy," she murmurs. "Of course, Surru is a lot less impressive to look at than Baleruk, but he's so good at his magic."

[Corwin]

"We're all good at magic. Even the straightforward fighters," Seira gently reminds Kascha. "Anyway, he's retired since, I'm not so crude as to intervene with that after he earned the rest from participating in the Crusade."

[Anastasia]

As you talk, you notice a prayer of interest. It's from Annerose and she prays for protection, for battle against Aurilites looms this day.

[Corwin]

Seira fills her heart with courage and her mind with the surety of their cause!

And watches over Annerose. Any sign of Auril's intervention will be met with escalation!

There is but one bit of good news - Annerose is of the blizzards, too. So is Helena. You see them progress onward through the furious snowstorm, a flash as foes fall before them. They are fast and relentless, experienced hands at this as you watch.

Cold. The storm winds howl in your mind. Auril's presence, watching and yet no sign of direct intervention.

[Corwin]

The urge to speak to Auril is storng, so Seira covers it with a pillow until it stops moving. Annerose has her focus, and she continues her vigilant watch.

[Anastasia]

Annerose battles against specters of the winter, wailing spirits of frost that part to her magic. On and on they advance until they at last see a cave ahead, amid the vast snowstorm.

"There," You hear Helena cry, as you feel Auril's frosty gaze on them, watching every moment of it.

[Corwin]

Seira expands her field of vision, to see what awaits Annerose and Helena inside. She won't interfere, not yet, but being prepared is best.

[Anastasia]

Rank check, Auril's trying to be extra bitchy here.

[Corwin]

Incidentally, I don't understand how she can be any sort of bitchy with my remote viewing using my follower as a focal point here. I thought that only applied in divine realms and consecrated places, so am I correct? Or are there other exceptions?

[Anastasia]

That's a fair question. You may well find out soon.

You feel it all at once. Your vision is pushed back and away as suddenly unholy power radiates from within the cavern. Desecrated ground to Auril, a flare as Auril's power emanates from it. Your vision of Annerose is blocked, remote sensing stopped entirely.

Someone isn't playing nice.
