Court Of The Ascendants Ep. 3

[Nature-Spirits]

"Oh, I see..." said Tak'mar, picturing the humans digging shallow holes in the ground to unearth a glittering powder. "Anyhow, I, too, should return to my practice." He parted with a short blessing and lifted into the air.
Tak'mar landed a short distance away at the foot of the tower that they'd come to call home, walking inside to fetch his wrist blade and spear. He strapped the blade onto his wrist and the spear to his back and walked back out, jumping up into the air to practise some midair battle manoeuvres.

Silverina got up from her spot and walked around the tree and practiced her fighting moves with her arms, legs and body, for a few minuets or more and then stopped, took a five minuets break and then started with her walking stick and wrapped it around the tree and it came back and she swung it back and then when it snapped together she spun it around her waist and then around her neck and stopped, it resting on her shoulder. She smiled slightly and then did both, moving her physical body with the walking stick.

Nathan Wyralkin stepped t of the tower, bare feet moving mealy soundlessly over the grass. Apparently, his collision with the wall had left him with a concussion that Maku deemed was too serious to let him continue. After hearing stories about the Minotaur, he decided he was glad he hadn't. Noticing Silveria practicing on the grass, he nimbly sidestepped a swoop of her staff and said, "Good morning. Nice to be able to walk again."

Silverina heard foot steps toward her but didn't stop and felt him duck and stopped practicing and her eyes went somewhere else. "Morning Nathan. Would be nice to see, but being blind has it's advantages." She shifted her foot in the ground once and reached down and pulled a bug off the ground and held it in her hand and smiled.

"I suppose it does," he said. Sitting down crosslegged, he continued in an unsure tone, being little more than a boy as it were. "The attitude of all of you who went on the last mission has been one of fear. What really happened that was so terrifying. Maku mentioned something about a minotaur. . ."

"That was about it that I know of." Silverina raised an eyebrow and sitting down on teh ground by the tree listed a stick into the air and held it thier and then removed her hand as it hovered in mid air and then she gently hit the edge and it spun slowly through the air, she then tapped it gently and it moved slowly, spinning through the air towards the ground and then she looked away and it just dropped to the ground as she rubbed her temples.

Court Of The Ascendants
The Garden

Suddenly, the all too familiar sound of a metal gate opening ringed through the ears of all the people present at the garden, and through them stepped the young Ascendant with bluish-violet eyes and wings, bearing in his hands a silvery orb not unlike the one all of them had seen Gatekeeper Koriel absorb when they had first been brought to the Court of the Ascendants, much like Yshara witnessed that... Day? Week? This narrator has no idea.

The young Ascendant walked up to the fountain in the middle of the Garden and sat down, calling out to all the others. "Rodrick! Lind! Tak'mar! Silveria! Nathan! Come here!" He called them, with his characteristic strange voice, in his characteristic strange language.

Lind walked up slowly, fading out of the distance and into the closer area. In other words, he walked. Fairly quickly. "Yes, Ascendant?" he asked the man quietly. "What do the higher-ups wish of us this time?" His wings fluttered back into his spine, and then vanished, leaving only a minor disturbance in the air as his saber switched back and forth.

[Nature-Spirits]

Tak'mar, hearing the call, stopped his practice and turned toward the fountain, hesitating for less than a second before he began his descent. In seconds he'd arrived, and having landed successfully and stowed his wings and weapons, looked around. "What is it? I heard a gate, I believe. Do we have a new mission? Or another Soul has arrived, perhaps? O-" He promptly shut himself up at that; since when had he gotten so rude as to ask so many questions without first waiting for someone to offer an explanation? And - he looked around again - there were still members of the group who hadn't arrived! Gae'a, I really need to work on that.

Silverina came forward at once at hearing her voice and stood with the rest of the group members. She heard Tak'mar and just chuckled slightly. But she calmed down and tried to focus on the words of the young acendent, she had one question but would wait till their was an explanation. She looked back at the tree and relized she didn't have her walking stick and promptly walked quickly over, leaned down and picked it up and then walke dback to the group and waited patiantly.

The young Ascendant watched as everyone slowly walked closer to the fountain, with Rodrick approaching last, and then turned to Lind upon hearing his question. He was about to answer to him, when Tak'mar fired a flurry of questions directed towards him. Turning around yet again, the young Ascendant waited until Tak'mar was done before finally speaking.

"Yes, Tak'mar, there is a new mission. You have to go and defeat a troublesome overseer in Reality #34. Maku said that it is an easy enough mission, that the Supreme Commander had given you this mission so that you would not have a big workload after your last." The Ascendant answered, and paused to let it sink in, before speaking again.

"He also said that it was easy enough that I would not need to go along, but I will accompany you anyway. I want to see for myself." He said, and then stood up. "Any questions?"

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

Nathan heard, jogging over to the group in time to catch the young Ascendant's words. "Maybe this time 'round I can be of some assistance," he said with a grimace.

Silverina listened and arised a brow. "Are we going to be flying for long periods of time or is the portal close to the ground?" She then slowly knelt to the ground and thought for alittle while listening for her question to be answered, she felt the ground slightly and smiled once then if faded and she came back up and leaned on her walking stick slightly.

"Don't worry, Nathan. In all honesty, it was better that you fainted." Rodrick said, patting the other on the back and giving him a faint smile. At least, since he had not been able to go into the Ziggurat, his resolve was not weakened - In fact, it might have been even stronger, since he apparently wanted to mak up for fainting. Rodrick himself, on the other hand, could feel his own resolve quivering, even now.

The young Ascendant, meanwhile, turned to Silveria upon hearing her question. He then shook his head. "We will not be flying much in this mission, I believe. At least, I was not told that we would be. I suppose we will stay near the ground most of the time. He conveyed.

Afterwards, he stood up and beckoned everyone to touch the small silvery orb that he held in his hands. Once they did, they would see a barren desert world, and quite a bit of Agent activity. Afterwards, they would see the image of a tall human-like creature, with red scales covering it's body, and two large, convex black and white wings.

When Rodrick touched the orb, being the last to do so, it vanished, and the Ascendant once again sat down. "If anyone needs to do something or get something, do so now, and tell me when you all want to depart." The young Ascendant conveyed.

Rodrick nodded at this and then turned to the others. "I'll be right back. Have to grab a couple things." He said, and then flew off to the tower in order to retrieve his hollow blade and his hand cannon. The Ascendant simply sat there, waiting for him to return and for everyone else to do whatever they needed to do before departing.

Silveria nodded and just stood their. "I have everything i need." She smiled and knelt down and played with a piece of grass and put it to her lips and made the high pitched sound and winced slightly but put it down and stood up, she always wanted to try something like that and now that she had she was very content with herself. She thought back to other missions and just kind of stood awkwardly a little and walked around.
