Ramuh

@judgement-bolt

She looked back at him with a sincere gaze. She had learned sorrow from the humans, and a tad bit of self-consciousness. She indicated the cracks on her cheeks, a strange pattern for a creature that was supposedly immortal. It made her look like someone had tapped her glassy features a bit too roughly, sending clear veins up to her burgundy eyes. In her own voice she addressed him, “Do these marks look frightening? I don’t think I could stand it if the humans thought I was ugly.”

For a moment, he looked her over. Not saying a word. Just studying every visible inch of her. Dark amber eyes drifted from crack, to smooth skin, then to the next crack. They were delicate, intricate, beautiful. He closed his eyes, thinking of how to answer her. Finally he spoke.

“Were you a vase, I would filled those cracks with gold so they may show. As you are beautiful regardless of how damaged you are. But you are not fine porcelain to display. But that does not make you any less beautiful, my sister. Those cracks are a part of you.”

She smiled serenely, walking forward with a slight nip in the air following her. She realized that since there were so many sylphs that they’d soon start to wither, so slowly the cold facade melted away into Gentiana.

She watched the cute creatures with fascination, all the while feeling the pulse of the air lifting her now human hair ever so slightly. She waited as the elder sylph came forward, and hearing her brother was asleep, chuckled a little. While she had known her brother recharged, she’d forgotten how often. “It is just as well, I came unannounced. I am contented as I am, I did not know my brother ate- but he must get his strength from somewhere.” She smiled as Sera flitted forward, she was tiny even in comparison to her kin. “Perhaps little Sera would enjoy something.”

The little slyphs around the elder nodded before flying off to the side and vanishing around the corner. It was simple for them to get something for Sera, as she was of their clan. The elder watched them go for a moment before returning his attention to their guest.

“This-one apologizes once again, milady. It shouldn’t be...” He cut off, turning his head to listen to something. A smile lit his face. “It would seem Levin-father has awaken. This-one shall inform him of your arrival.” The elder flew off before receiving any answer.

Moments passed before Ramuh entered, smiling with some amusement.

“I am not afraid of you old man or your dog slobbered on unicorn staff of doom.” Ifrit rolled his eyes.

“Lies and slander Ram!”

“I’ll have you know, sister, I did no such thing.”

@judgement-bolt She came quietly, walking towards his home with care. A little sylph floated a safe distance away since she was in her frozen form. She’d missed her siblings, but while she missed them she kept the company of humans. A young woman, at the moment, who looked to her almost as a mother. She wondered what she might say to her eldest brother, now that she finally had the resolve to see him. She called out to him from a distance, “Dearest brother, are you here?”

He was there, but was currently napping, lightning coursing over his form as he slept. However, a couple of little sylphs came floating out, beady eyes curious at the sight of the female in the entry of their father’s domain. A slightly larger sylph followed them.

“Forgive us, frozen-one. Levin-father is recharging right now and it may be an hour ‘for he awakes. Might us little-ones offer you refreshments in the mean while?”

The sylph that had been following Shiva darted forward and flew circles around the sylph that spoke, happily chirping.

 “I will not put you in harms way Ramuh you should know that by now. And please do not. hey could be in danger if they’re sighted by the manor.”

“If I should fall fine, but I will not take my siblings down with me.  You mus promise to keep them at bay. Le me come to you. Alright my old friend?” Ifrit gave his best pleading look.

“You needn’t worry about my children. They have their ways of escaping notice.” He pulled Ifrit into a tight hug before releasing him.

 “Nay big brother I cannot.” Ifrit said with a frown. “One of us has to keep an eye on that man and I’m the only one with connections to do so. If he’s building another weapon to kill our kind I must know to send warning and word to the rest of our siblings. My duty is here.” The young Astral said quietly.

“I will be safe Ram. This I swear to you. Mortals cannot find my aura within this human body. That is why it is important we stay in these vulnerable states. What better way to hide than in plain sight?”

He tsk’d, still not happy with it, but mentally agreeing that what Ifrit stated was the truth and he couldn’t deny it. Reaching out to grasp his sibling’s shoulders, he leaned forward.

 “You have my gratitude brother.” Ifrit gave a small nod in return. “I will keep my solitude to my servants mansion if I’m needed in any form. But for the meantime he seems oblivious. Let us hope he stays that way.”

“If I hear word on weapons against us I will seek you out. Do not come to me. I assume he’s already suspicious of who I may be.”

A frown. He was not pleased with the words coming from his brother’s mouth. The idea of Ifrit staying with someone who was closely connected to the other was not his idea of a good idea. Crossing his arms, he chose to verbalize it.

“Be wary of our sisters killer. He walks among you.” Ifrit said in warning. 

“Do not underestimate him for his mortality…Shiva did and paid with her life. You know the drill my siblings. Stay in your human forms and don’t let on of our power. We must hold better secrecy from this point on.”

His eyes narrowed, but he nodded slowly. He had no wish to suffer the same fate. Though tossing a judgement bolt at the fool who dared mess with them was a tempting idea.

He shook his head slowly, eyes locked on his sister.

“You did what you felt was right, my dear. You did what you needed to do, and that is the proper thing. Never. Ever. Regret things you whole heartedly believed in. It is not your fault that fate has a cruel and senseless sense of humor.”
