*When Amestru arrives with Luciel, Jor insructs him to place him within the circle, where the lines of the four energies meet, being sure to place his head at Void's rune. When Amestru does this and steps away, the circle springs to life, twisting and turning around the baby dragon, who cries out once as the aethr sinks into his flesh. Through it all, Jormungandr sits watching, twitching his hands and flickering his tongue. When the spell finally ends, he drops his hands, exhausted*
That...was harder than I expected...the spells fought me much more than usual...probably because we're in Elysium...Void doesn't have much power here. I could try again, but not for a couple of days...sorry Ina...but this was the best I could do...
*He collapses as the spell clears away, his tongue rolling out, the forks tickling one of Amestru's paws. The spell itself slowly clears away to reveal Luciel...aged somewhat, but still obviously a toddler...maybe ten or twelve years old...a human's almost-two. He looks at Lyssan...and Kero's voice comes jubilantly forth from his mind*
Free at last! The isolation has ended. I may still be trapped, but I can communicate again! No longer am I reserved to dreams...I can talk anytime I want!!!! Yahoooo!
*While Kero is busy in jubilation, Luciel is slowly walking over to Lyssan, looking her in the eye with his head cocked*
Ma...ma?

*Luciel and Jor both nod, and Luciel jumps into her arms, snuggling down happily as Kero continues crowing at his release*
Ina...Thanks for helping me out...most Kami, had they found me in this position, would have slain me without a second thought. Thanks...baby sister.
*He falls asleep as Luciel licks Lysan's face and curls up, not falling asleep, but certainly content*

most kami live sheltered lives, jor.... for all that they reign supreme in their small ordered worlds... i tend to look at the broader vision... sleep well, my brother... as me mentor once told me... and as i've been trying to impress upon your apprentice... good done in the name of darkness is still good... and dark deeds done in the name of good are dark indeed and anything but... it is what ye do with yer life... not what ye are.... rest... wink

*He falls asleep...and Lyssan rememebers something she had forgotten...like his apprentice...Jormungandr snores*
*Meanwhile, Luciel has flown out of Lyssan's arms, flapping towards one of the bookshelves. He settles down on a shelf, listening...then shoots toward Amestru and pounces him*

amestru tussles with him for a bit, then decides to take him back up to his suite.... which has been cleaned and redone more along the line of a child's room, complete with shelves of picture books and easy story boards, toys, dolls, and building blocks... on one shelf is the small set of stone figurines luceil had won at the faire... spread out in a diorama....

*Luciel darts out of Amestru's arms...then turns and bows to him...and then shoots over and starts playing with his stone figurines. Meanwhile, Jormungandr has recovered his energy enough to be mobile, though he won't be doing magic for a while. He goes to see his sister*
Ina...I hate to be rude, but is there a place where I could get something to eat...I'm ravenous after magic like that...and with me, that's saying something. Where's Luciel, BTW?

i'll take ye down to see champhy.... might send her in a tail spin iffin i send ye by yerself... says lyssan leading him out into the hall and down towards the kitchen....
amestru took luceil up to his room to play, he's taken quite a shine to him, it seems... funny that... i mean he was attached and still is to our kits... but he never took such an interest in their infancy.... but then he's older now... and i've heard tell that older parents are more relaxed and self assured in their parenting...

It's very true...I've watched Kero raise some kids that he adopted, generally waifs and orphans that stumble into the Void...he was as clumsy with them as I was while raising him...now, though...well, you've seen how he is with his Godson...all completely comfortable.
*The two of them arrive at the kitchen, where Jor greets the water horse*
You would be Chaumphy, I presume?

*Jor chuckles*
I am Lyssan's twin...call me Jor, Champhy-with-an-a-not-a-u. I am a mage as powerful as she is, and am Exhausted from trying to perform a delicate spell here in Elysium. I am in desperate need of food...can you please help me out...I'm starving to death.
*Looks at Lyssan*
Any comments from you, baby sister....and I'll tell everyone here what yer nickname was as a child.

Ina, at this point, I could quite literally consume an entire stinking behemoth. But I'll eat anything.

*Snags the hind leg of a horse, and brings it out...to Champhy's amazement, by the time he reaches his twin, the leg is gone*
Thank you, greatest of chefs...now sissy, what say we go pay a visit to Luciel.
*He walks away, towards Luciel's rooms*
