Orianthe made an effort to bound towards one of the shorter peaks, hand gripping the jagged edge of one ledge, hanging from it with treads dug into the stone and snow, “ come on ! I know you’re faster than that ! ” she called up at the beast who now circled an adjacent peak. It clawed around and faced her, growling with menace in it’s tone. Then a bright ball of fire was launched, unhinging it’s jaw.

She makes quick effort to leap from one point to a plateau like watering hole, graced by glistening falls. Quick in her step and agile, darting forwards once she noticed the drake coming straight for her, making such an inhuman right turning slide over the cragged surface. It really did appear as if the dragon was attempting to kill her, but the entire while the aspect was only playing games with a behemoth.

Alas, Orianthe’s display went almost entirely unnoticed. Celeste was captivated by the sight before her, watching the egg wriggle and shake. Oh, stars, it was hatching. It was really, truly hatching! Celeste watched as the shell cracked, and after several seconds, a tiny head poked out. The hatchling emitted a small wine, its looking around and sniffing the air. Then it noticed Celeste.

“H-Hey there little guy… Just, try not to move too much, alright?” Not quite the composition she was going for, but Celeste could work with this. She hastily began painting the nest, even as the other eggs began to hatch. This was fine. She could improvise. Celeste would commit the sight of the dragons hatching to memory and forced herself to paint the outline first and foremost. Little did she realize the newborns’ cries would soon attract the attention of their parents…

The last hatchling escaped it's shell, and in unision they would cry out , not loud, but enough to bring the attention back to them, the dragon Orianthe had been playing tag with turned away and flew back, the aspect haulting in her step as she spots Celeste.

" Oh no -- " she sighs, drawing DAWN, her starfire blade, and dashes quickly past the dragon with the speed of a comet, stopping beside Celeste and holding her blade in both hands, " careful, she is coming back. "

“ I can work with that, ” she shows modesty, then a devious grin, oh how she loved to play this game … “ but if they do see you, take priority in your own life above a drawings, ” she winked. Orianthe then turned the corner, taking a short sprint, then launching herself forward and atop the head of one such beast.

“ Hello friends it’s me again ! And this time you’re it ! ” she laughs as the beast begins to stir, launching herself off and upwards towards one of the peaks as the dragon lifts off in tow to give chase. Was it playing her game ? That was uncertain.

Celeste watched as Orianthe suddenly bounded into the sky, landing atop one of the dragons’ head. Wow, she was a LOT more like Zoe than the artist had initially thought. Maybe it really was the Aspect of Twilight in disguise? …No, Orianthe was her own Aspect, however similar the two might be.

As soon as the dragon began its chase, Celeste began racing around the clutch of eggs, keeping her distance. She watched carefully, searching for the right angle to draw from. They were big, that much was certain… But as Celeste examined the nest, she noticed something: one of the eggs was moving.

“ Cool Aspect powers hm? I think I have an idea. But first… how fast can you paint? ” the question lingers off a small grin, the idea in mind was CLEARLY not a good one, but a fun one for Orianthe to at least indulge herself with. Her head tilting to the side just enough to spot the younger girl’s muse.

She wasn’t expecting her question to be answered with a question… This girl was already starting to remind her of Zoe. “Depends on what I’m painting. I can whip up a sparklefly in no time. The eggs might take a minute.” She needed to find the right angle, maybe see about rearranging them in the nest… But it seemed like Orianthe was going to have her working on a time limit. Lovely.

She nods, humbly as her cape flaps behind her in the wind, clad in charcoal armor with a sleeveless look, a soft grin over her lips, “ I am Orianthe, Aspect of Courage. And nobody sends me anywhere, I go where bravery is needed, ” she stares over the girl, eyeing the beasts that lie in wait.

Aspect of Courage? She’d never heard of that one, but then, she didn’t really pay much attention to the other Aspects beyond Zoe; beyond Taric, they were all pompous adults who never quite seemed to realize the beauty of the cosmos they wielded. That said, Orianthe was clearly another exception.

“I see… Well, good meet you Orianthe. I’m Celeste.” She turned to look back at the dragons, who thankfully hadn’t noticed the duo yet. That herald lady often liked to say that dragons considered ‘lesser beings’ to be beneath their notice, and Celeste was frankly glad for that right now. “I want to paint a nest of dragon eggs for my latest project, but, well… I’d much rather not get eaten. Do you have any cool Aspect powers that could help?”

She had felt something, something nearby… yes it wasn’t shadowed by the Rakkoran’s and their wartrainings, it was someone else …

A loud boom erupts the Targonian sky, Orianthe landing mere steps away from the artist, both feet strongly landing on the stone, her cape blown in the wing behind her with thicker dark locks at her mid-back. “ Well, well, dragons of Targon ? Aren’t you the brave soul, ” the aspect had already known this spot … she knew almost all of Targon.

Celeste looked up when the sky suddenly thundered above, watching as someone, no, something descended toward her. A streak of light falling from the sky… Now there was a pretty picture for later. Wait, no, no time for that!

Celeste blinked as a girl emerged from the light. “Um, hi. Wait, are you an Aspect? Did Zoe send you?” Celeste looked her over. This girl had some interesting markings, though Celeste didn’t much care for painting people anymore.

“Deep breaths, Celeste. Deep breaths…” Celeste had ventured far up the mountain; further than she’d intended to. The artist had recently had a new bout of inspiration: she wanted to try sketching a nest of baby dragons. Unfortunately, this meant approaching a dragon nest, which was… A terrifying prospect, to be frank. Celeste could see them lingering just up ahead. “This is a bad idea… Ugh, where’s Zoe when you need her?” Celeste looked around, even offering a small prayer in hopes of calling out to her Aspect friend. Little did Celeste know that she would inadvertently wind up calling for a different Aspect instead…

Orianthe | @courage-aspect:

Orianthe smiled, every person had a similar reaction to such a curse to undertake… but it was how things had to be, it was the proof needed to entrust any human with the power of an aspect. “ It is a matter of perspective, Diana. You see myself as the monster, forcing Asina to kill everyone she loves, but Asina did not see her loved ones. She saw people raiding the peak, an small army standing before her, belief in herself. She used a blindfold, she knew running into battle without sight was more courageous, and she didn’t need to see who she fought. ”

The aspect hopped down off her stone pedestal, walking to Diana’s right… she was heading the same direction anyways, “Perhaps this war… Solari, Lunari, just needs new perspective. ”

“Perhaps. Or she just literally did not see who she was attacking.”, a soft sigh, she would not argue about that because it was not her place “A choice she made, I know. Though one wonders if there was external influence.”

“Perhaps more than that. But people do not listen.”

courage-aspect

" People always listen, " she left the comments about her influence out, the truth was only known to herself and what remained of Asina, smiling no less and setting a hand on Diana's shoulder, " whether they like what they hear or not, is the problem. But they'll always listen. "

She releases her shoulder and walks a semi circle around the aspect, looking down at some of the scattered snow, moving a pile with her boot, " have some courage Diana, perhaps you'll see me again when it matters most. "

She would fall silent for a moment at the admission, though her eyes never left the other aspect as she claimed to be taking up her time, as if it were precious or limited. “ You know– ” she started up, palms coming to rest at the butts of her blades, “ – Asina needed to go through something similar. Part of the challenge of becoming an aspect of courage is facing your greatest fear without an ounce of hesitation. Her fear was having to cut down those she loved most, her entire home and village, she gave her life knowing she would not walk out of that battle, knowing she could not win. But she tried. ”

Diana was about to turn around and leave, when Orianthe spoke up. What she said sounded awful, inhumane. But what could once expect from a celestial? They rarely did show mercy to humans. Perhaps Atreus’ anger was placed in that regard. “It’s difficult to believe that she would accept to partake in such carnage.”

Once her blade had been lodged and then tossed into the cracked stone beside them, quite a few yards off, she knew she was in trouble, the shield bashed against her shoulder which forces her to stumble back with Dusk, her remaining sword. A hint of white begins to flicker in her eyes, tossing the blade into her right hand, then pointing the sword upwards.

From above , a darkblue celestial blade appearing to be made from starfire and constellations ten times it's size came crashing down between them, closer to the unbroken spear, using this moment to make a lightning dash to Dawn, her grounded short sword. If she was going to put up a challenge she would need both...

🌠 || " Being the most recent aspect to return to the mountain, I must admit there are some changes to be made here! They call ME the childish one, yet they're all fighting like children! I think what Targon needs is a little Orianthe courage ! "

she finishes her short monologue before one baby Stellacorn, the majestic and clumsy creature tilting it's head as if not understanding a word she just said... but Orianthe places hands on her hips, proud of her new goal.

" Let's bring them together... surely, the mountain can be reunited once more. "
