Re: Darkness Falls [invite only, winter solstice]

She waited for the younger to come to her, as pecking order
demanded. Her hand was held out to the girl, her lavender eyes
fastened upon her and they searched the eyes of her protégée. It
was unlike the petite priestess to be effusive in praise, but
the smile she gave spoke volumes that her mouth wouldn't.
"Welcome to the world, little dark one. May it be a new and
fascinating journey for you to walk beside me." Her hand
squeezed the darkfire dragon's own. And then something strange
happened.
It started as an ache somewhere in the vicinity of her heart.
Slowly, that feeling radiated out from that fragile little
organ, until blood beat in her temples harshly. Homura's heart
felt, for all the world, as if it were shattering. Or that
something inside her was breaking down, becoming weak and then
dissolving. In a flash of feeling, something lifted, and she
could feel a slight connection to Ren. Feel where his betrayal
and disregard for her had eroded that link, frayed it to
something fragile and breakable. She became aware of exactly
what harm he'd done, and how much her older sister had tried to
heal within her. And found that he was a wound that couldn't be
healed by Aska's hand.
The darkfire portion of her balked at being hurt in such a way,
anger boiling up in her heart and figuratively setting fire to
those last tremulous tendrils of connection. It burned to ash,
and the backlash stole the girl's breath, making her stumble and
causing the priestess to catch at her in order to keep her
upright. The physical contact caused another, stronger bond to
come forward, woven tightly by trust fostered, and a teacher and
student bond. A guiding older sister, confidant and mentor. It
silvered the threads of this one, and created the link that the
dragon had only ever known to Ren. But in her mind, Ren was
gone. Lost to his own stupidity and because of his own blind
foolishness.

As the daughter of dark flame took the hand she smiled reading
into what her onee-san's smile told her. As the ache started in
her heart, her free hand clenched over it softly. She could
feel the darkfire in her veins attack the strands that remained
until they broke. Stumbling and being caught by the priestess,
and the new bond settling over her, her breathing steadied.
Eyes of blood found her new master, mentor, sister. The
darkfire boiling away in her veins bubbled through her. The
pain and fragility surrounding her heart at that instant
replaced by a feeling of strenth and ease. The trust, the
strength, the power, all played to the dragon's true nature.
She smiled at her sister, "I am honored to walk beside you. I
hope to see the world for what it is, to learn from it and to
grow in it in my true form."

Sensing a disturbance (in the force. Lol! xD) in his priestess,
the lord tossed a questioning glance in the direction of the 2
women. Seeing their embrace and confirming their safety, the
lord blinks raising an eyebrow at them, but goes back to
"examining" the device. Now finished with it's meal, the dark
mist drifted into the shadows leaving the area pristine as
though naught had occurred.
If Tatsuya was still there, Kazuma would notice him and blink
wondering why he had yet to be introduced to him. If not, he
would simply bide his time, waiting until Aska and Homura
finished their business that they might begin his own.

The petite priestess knew precisely what had happened. She'd
read about it in her many tomes. This had been her plan all
along, and it was always good to see plans come to fruition.
With a guiding arm around the darkfire dragon, she stepped
forward lightly over the snow to rejoin her lord. She paused
alongside him, the young dragoness still at her side. Her
silvery lavender eyes looked up at him, and addressed him in old
Latin. "The boy is the one your sister sent to aid us in
unlocking your chains. He is the key wielder. He knew nothing of
this purpose, but he has been helpful. I told him that I would
speak for him to you in granting one request. He requests the
ability to protect the one he cares for." Something vaguely
sinister glimmered in her gaze, though her face remained still.
"There is darkness to prune and help flourish." She said softly,
a shapely brow arching just slightly in punctuation of the
sentence.
Though her attention remained on Kazuma, her eyes turned to the
boy, still rightly kneeling there in the snow. Her English rang
out, musical and commanding at once. "Stand and introduce
yourself to my lord, key wielder. Keep the utmost of respect,
boy. You will not want to find what happens if you do not."
Those mercurial eyes shifted back and forth between her deity
and the youngster. Aska's voice whispered through Homura's mind.
"If he is disrespectful or crass, do not let him escape. Do not
kill him, but capture him instead." Her dainty hand laid on the
girl's shoulder, bestowing strength and clarity upon her once
more, as she had on the mountain.

Tatsuya's eyes were low, but the boy did as he was told to. His
mind was racing, trying to figure out why he was here. This all
seemed...weird. Why was he here? Why him? But, he pushed the
thoughts to the back of his head. Slowly, he stood up, dusting
the snow off of his robe as he did so.
"My name is Tatsuya." The boy said, twirling his keyblade in his
hand.

The young dragon softly followed her sister and master to the
lords side. As she heard Aska's voice in her mind she gave a
subtle nod. A slight smile crept across her lips. While
something in that destructive nature of hers wanted to tear the
boy apart if he was disrespectful, but she would abide by the
wishes of her master. She would not let him escape. The
feeling of the strength and clarity the priestess bestowed, left
the dragon ready to do whatever she needed to do. As the boy
introduced himself, she kept those eyes of blood on him.
