Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.
Nevar and his demons hadn't been around in quite some time, and he was grateful, but things still felt off.
You are tormented by worries in your mind, Satyarani had told him once, when he'd expressed concern about demons when working with her to restore his homeland, long ago. He had a feeling that right now, he felt the same.
Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
Nuriel blinked as he looked towards Aranessa.
"Uh...dinner is food? What else would dinner be...?"
Raven sighed. "I am not certain that is exactly what Lady Aranessa meant, Nuriel."
"Wait wait, wait," Nuriel gasped at the mention of starling. "You met Starling!? Already!? geez, wow, I did NOT expect her to show up so soon..."
"We were just speaking with her moments ago, and she appeared through this magic mirror -" Raven turned to point at the mirror...
Only to realize that it was completely gone. As if it never existed to begin with.
The warlord stared at where it once was. It was...right there. How did it...?
Nuriel also stared, before asking, "You sure you two talked to Starling just now?"
"I am certain of it," Raven insisted, frowning as he looked at Nuriel, and Nuriel shrugged.
"But yeah, I've talked to her before. She's pretty mysterious. She likes to keep that kind of vibe going on with her at all times. I have no idea what her actual face looks like. I don't think the Countess Tahirah even knows what Starling truly looks like, either."
a pleasant evening to all girls getting a little sloppy on a monday night
Last Dance sentence starters
Selected lines from Episode 13 (Series 1 finale)
What could I possibly dream of now, in this world?
I'll drive a screaming spear through your heart this time, (name)!
We don't need him conscious, just open him up.
Your soul belongs to me!
Release me! Do not taint me with your impurity.
This was what I was born for.
Don't think your thoughts are safe in here. Wherever here is.
You're not inspiring me with hope here.
(name) is a madman, there's no telling what (she/he/they) might do to us.
(name) uses morality as a guise for (his/her/their) experiments. That's all this is.
I'm forced to look at a life I've never lived.
We need allies, no matter what came before.
What was so important you'd leave half your soul behind!?
What will it takes before he abandons you?
This life is isolating, and it will only become moreso.
I am not meant for mourning.
Once again, I serve a purpose.
I never betrayed you. I betrayed them.
I'm a slave to feelings.
I'm almost done, but this is a crucial moment.
Cookery is important, it opens the mind to new possibilities.
It's a precise alchemy to get this right.
I've been reading through your notes, you've had quite a journey.
The ritual wasn't just mimicry. (He/she/they) was aiming to surpass what came before.
Just because they deny it, and you can't comprehend it, doesn't mean the process isn't there. You merely require a new lens of understanding.
Alchemy on the grandest scale is interpersonal, the careful placement of relationships, how they rise and fall, the what they make of the elements involved.
But how many kings did they silently crown?
You have shed your old perspective, and now joined it with mine.
Eight have become a house of two.
Alchemy is nothing but the rules we do not notice. Until we do.
I don't know who I should be commanding and who I should be murdering.
We're away from the worst of it but it's starting to pick up. I can feel it.
Best way to keep a secret is not to tell anyone.
Give me your rage.
Do what you were made to do, just the same as me.
Anyone who approaches us dies. No questions.
He's hiding from you, like a petty child.
I would imagine we can agree on delaying this conversation?
The risk is too high, the eastern wing is more valuable than my life. Better that it remains sealed forever.
Great men require great spaces.
I don't get jealous of my sword because it cuts better than my hand. I just use the thing, and put it away when I'm finished.
Your identity is not worth wasting my time.
They could have snuck their most elite into my court...
It could just be luck. Convenience exists.
It's coming for me.
Whatever is going to happen now, it's out of our control.
We came here to save (his/her/their) life and you've doomed (him/her/them)!
Let my death be their last victory.
Today's world belongs to them. Tomorrow's world belongs to you.
I never could see past my own vision. And I couldn't see you, or how easily they'd twist you.
You're a scavenger, so start taking what's theirs and make it your own.
I walk in paths - tread only by gods.
What do you see now?
I see a Visiian sunrise. I see tomorrow's world.
Then the world is ours.
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.
Nevar and his demons hadn't been around in quite some time, and he was grateful, but things still felt off.
You are tormented by worries in your mind, Satyarani had told him once, when he'd expressed concern about demons when working with her to restore his homeland, long ago. He had a feeling that right now, he felt the same.
Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
Raven nodded, looking towards Aranessa.
"Aye, they are healing potions. These types are ones taht can heal certain ailments, such as paralysis or minor poisons. iT would be good to have around Araceli Nemesis, in case...she has a reputation with snakes and poisons." Raven admitted to her. He was certain that they would need it...just in case.
Footsteps came up, and Raven turned to see none other than Nuriel peek his head in, calling. "Helloooo?"
"Nuriel?" Raven blinked. "How did you find us?"
"You left the secret passageway open." The fiery advisor quipped, stretching his arms behind his back briefly. "Also, I came to find you two because dinner is ready." He looked around, chuckling a bit. "Looks like Raf did make good use of the place, huh....?"
"Aye, he did." Raven nodded. "He will not mind if we borrow a few potions, will he?"
Nuriel shook his head. "Nah, I don't think so. It's nothing major, is it?"
"Just a few antidote ones."
Nuriel shrugged. "Fair enough."
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.

Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
Raven nodded in understanding, deciding it was best not to comment on the dead gods for now. Perhaps it was history best left not talked about...
Raven met Aranessa's gaze quietly at the mention of entertainment. "She will not do anything to interfere in our mission, Lady Aranessa," He explained, "but she will be keeping a close eye on us. Other than being able to see us through mirrors, she has other magical items and abilities that will allow her to keep an eye on us most of the time, as much as she desires. She also has four close agents working for her. Not all of them are like her, but...they are uniquely powerful in their own ways."
He frowned, shaking his head once. "I do hope that we do not have to encounter her agents...at least, not all of them. We will likely run into one at some point. Their duties are to keep close surveillance of Melodia as a whole and defend the land from anyone that could be a threat."
"Well, that's good," Aranessa replied, "At least, sort of good. If she is merely contented to be a spectator and not an instigator, I am satisfied."
Starling seemed interesting. Not good, but not evil either. A sort of amused neutral party. A bit like that masked man at Thjazi's funeral. What was his name again? Oh, right. Bolaire.
"Does that mean a threat to the realm, a threat to her, or a threat to her entertainment?" Aranessa inquired. The first and third options were probably the same thing, but it was good to check.
Raven frowned at hearing Aranessa's question.
"I would presume, officially, at least the first and second options. The third...most likely also that, depending on circumstances." He finally answered, after a moment. He knew that Starling hated it when her 'entertainment' got spoiled by something too unexpected.
The warlord of Alaunus glanced around, hoping to find something of use while they were in the laboratory. Surely Rafaele might have left something... Raven checked one of the shelves, and was rewarded with finding two small vials of general status-ailment healing potions, pocketing both of them for later.
"I'll make sure to repay Rafaele later.."
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.

Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
Raven's gaze snapped towards Aranessa at the mention of godhood.
"No! I am no god, Lady Aranessa - nor do I wish to consider myself as one. When I became my homeland's protector, I gave up my mortality." he shook his head quickly, frowning. "I cannot age, and I cannot die easily like most mortals can. But it is still possible to kill me if one happened to have enough...power. Fortunately, my power equals that of Nevar, if not surpasses it."
"Mm, yes, our brands of immortality are not quite on a godly level." Starling hummed, tiling her head to the side as she looked between Raven and Tahirah. "We are strange beings. Not quite human, not quite gods...are we human, or are we dancer?"
Raven looked towards Starling in Tahirah's form. "Please, Starling, change to a different form."
"Eh!?" Starling gasped in mock horror, putting a hand to her own chest. "But I thought that you'd find this one appealing, Raven!"
Raven glared at her. "I prefer the real Hira, not you. Change your form now, please."
"Getting into nicknames, aren't we? How cute." A giggle left Starling, but she changed into a cloaked figure, face not seen underneath a hood and cloak that appeared dark, but with glitter all over it like stars. "Welllll, those teleportation crystals that the Countess gave you earlier should certainly help expedite your journey, so make good use of 'em~ So don't be shy about using them!"
"Oh, now I get it," Aranessa nodded, "Though the gods of my realm could be killed, too. In fact, they've been dead for seventy years." She said that as if it were the most casual thing in the world.
She looked between Starling and Raven with that exchange. Should she even say something at this point? Was Raven truly this oblivious? She looked at Starlight and glanced over at Raven as if to say,
"You know, too, huh?"
"That's very helpful, thank you," she replied, "Rest assured, we will most likely be using them for whatever we need them for."
Raven stared at Aranessa. "What do you mean, your gods have been dead for seventy years...?" How...?
Starling looked at Aranessa dead in the eye and smiled wide, just nodding in response as if to say "Absolutely, yes, I know too and it is KILLING ME that Raven and Tahirah are this oblivious."
Raven caught Starling's look, but didn't comment aloud because 1. Starling hadn't actually said anything aloud even if her look was very clearly communicating the above to Aranessa, and 2. ..what was he supposed to interpret from this?
"Good!" Starling chimed in response to Aranessa's thanks. "I'm certain that you two will succeed. Eventually. No matter how hard things get, you'll never give up! Such determined folks make for great entertainment. So, don't fail me now! Ta-ta~!"
"Wait..!"
Starling disappeared, laughter echoing throughout the room before slowly fading.
Raven sighed, shaking his head. "Starling...aye, that is certainly like her to just pop in, speak so casually about the situation at hand, and then disappear..." A bit frustrating, in his opinion, at times - and quite spontaneous. "I am certain that she will enjoy poking mischief at me while we are still here in Melodia..."
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.
Nevar and his demons hadn't been around in quite some time, and he was grateful, but things still felt off.

Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
The reflection smiled back at Aranessa, humming playfully as he/she? eyed her.
"You may call me Starling," she drawled, "for that is all everyone knows me as. A sorceress at Melodia's service. Pleasure to meet you, Lady Aranessa Royce~"
Raven frowned, eyeing Starling. "And you're here," He asked, "because...?"
"Well, I sensed your presences the moment that you entered Melodia. Thought that about a day or so would be enough for you two to get settled in before I gave a little courtesy visit..." A chuckle left Starling, before the image in the mirror shifted, twisting and turning until - it looked like a reflection of Lady Aranessa Royce herself, eyes still glowing yellow. "And to sense a fellow immortal and someone else with great magic within them is always fun to see."
"Is this really all it is?" Raven asked, raising a brow. "A mere visit?"
"Well, I did want to wish you two good luck in getting what you need..." Starling hummed, tilting her? head from one side to the other. "But you should enjoy yourselves while you're here~! Maybe take someone or something out on a fun outing..."
"We are not here for fun." Raven stated firmly. "We are here to help Lady Aranessa get back to her homeland!"
Starling then changed forms - changing to look exactly like Tahirah herself, beaming at Raven as she chimed, "I know. But who said you couldn't have fun while you're at it, hmmm~?"
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.
Nevar and his demons hadn't been around in quite some time, and he was grateful, but things still felt off.
You are tormented by worries in your mind, Satyarani had told him once, when he'd expressed concern about demons when working with her to restore his homeland, long ago. He had a feeling that right now, he felt the same.
Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
"Last time I was here, there were plenty of crystals called Luminae Crystals...they're found in Melodia's mountains, and ground up to create healing potions, typically." Raven answered Aranessa. "However, Rafaele was...working on ways to use it for more advanced purposes."
His eyes were still on the mirror, watching how the surface of it seemed to swirl a bit, as if it were water rather than a mirror. His reflection stared back at first normally, then -
It laughed and shuddered, eyes glowing yellow as it twitched and moved on its own. Raven took a step back, pointing his Staff of Power at it. "What!?"
"Hello~" Raven's reflection chuckled, speaking in a different woman's voice, leaning forwards against the surface of the mirror. "Missed me~?"
"You-!" Raven's chest tightened as he lowered his Staff of Power slightly, brows furrowing as he stared back at the talking reflection. Despite what the reflection looked like, the voice was unmistakable to him. "Starling...? Is that you?"
"Correct! And my, my, I see you brought a friend with you this time around~!" She/he? eyed Aranessa with a raised brow, then chuckled, covering her/his mouth with one hand. "How entertaining! I love it when we get newcomers here."

VĂ€rmland, Sweden (9 May 2016, 2018).
Osamu Nishi, I will forever love your belief that "Kids should be protected by adults, even if this is Shounen."
Raven sighed - he finally had a moment to breathe.
Nevar and his demons hadn't been around in quite some time, and he was grateful, but things still felt off.
You are tormented by worries in your mind, Satyarani had told him once, when he'd expressed concern about demons when working with her to restore his homeland, long ago. He had a feeling that right now, he felt the same.
Footsteps crunched against the grass, and Raven turned, holding up his staff of power upon cautious instinct.
"Who's there...? Speak now."
"Very well." Raven nodded, before moving forward. "Let's see..."
The passsageway tot he lab wasn't too long, fortunately, and Raven found another door up ahead that he could open easily with a bit of magic.
Inside the lab were several items; there were dried up flowers and other herbs on shelves or scattered on various tables. Notebooks with yelloewed pages lay on one desk, stacked up on top of each other with one left open flat on the desk apart from the others.
"This," Raven breathed, looking around, "has been used since last time, I'm certain of it. Hira told me about her late father previously using this space...and that her godfather also uses this location. I thought there might be more magic items that could be handy, though..."
He eyed the mirror that was up against the wall. The surface of it seemed to sparkle a little, if one looked closely enough. The warlord took a step closer to the mirror, brows furrowing.
"This, however...this is new."
