Lost again, are we?

Humming quietly, Aria's large, blue eyes looked around for any familiar sights. Despite staying at The Royal Garnet, her desire to explore the city had triumphed. After making sure her cat-eared hood made sure to hide her face, she traveled through the city rather liberally. The architecture had a curious sheen to them, the people bustling and going on their merry way. In truth, she loved it; it was so much better to be out and about rather than in a stuffy room full of people who couldn't care less about anything outside of their own selfish lies. Not that she was any better, as she had come to Valennia to perform for those selfish people. But before she would, she wanted to look around. She had heard the Library may have books on the myths of the Empire, and myths meant deities.

Now that she had finished looking around, she realized much too late that she hadn't kept track to where she was going.

Aria continued to walk, her head turning this way and that. The people looked much too busy to ask for directions, though she didn't want to turn back just yet. Clucking her tongue in disappointment, she wondered whether or not she should turn around, though as she stopped in front of a building, she peered at the letters to see what it was called. It looked like the Adventurer's Guild--she had somehow gone in a complete circle, having passed it earlier. Oh well, it was probably a sign that she should be heading back to the Royal Garnet. Kicking the ground in disappointment, she turned on her heel, a soft song playing from her lips as she walked.

Short post is short but I did it.

[HIGH CASUAL] Welcome to Salem, Massachusetts

Aimee Du'désir

Location; Washington Square
Interacting With; Mrs. Sanguis @Lionhearted, Cain @Syn, Lizzie @Dutchess Sarah

---

Her eyes widened slightly, though as the urge to step forward came, Mrs. Sanguis would instead step between them. Crap, that was a threat, wasn't it? Could she take him? It wouldn't be the first time Aimee would deal with someone bigger than she was. But that wouldn't do, despite the situation the last thing she wanted was another lecture from her Coven Leader. Again. Why the hell was he so insistent? He couldn't possibly care about the girl, it had to be something else. Clucking her tongue, she placed her hands on her hips, clearly unhappy. She hated indirect people--why couldn't he just mind his own business? She shifted her weight from one leg to the other as Mrs. Sanguis spoke, though she raised her eyebrows as she would speak to her. Ah, how she loved Mrs. Sanguis' orders. What was it about powerful women that she loved so? Wait, no, she needed to focus, she could tuck that thought aside and save it for later.

Slowly stepping into Cain's line of sight, she locked her eyes with his, flashing a rather brilliant smile. She was usually subtle about her powers, and compelling was one of her favorites. "With all this commotion, I'm sure you'll want to take my advice more seriously," Aimee repeated herself, raising her head slightly as she spoke. "There's a lot of other people here--go tend to them." She ordered him, her head motioning towards the other injured.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

She had known Rio was strong. She wasn't quite expecting this, however.

Saying that Emiri was on the defensive was putting it lightly. When Rio declared his intention to kill her, he certainly meant it. As the fight went on, it slowly revealed itself to be one of endurance, not skill. Rio was quite talented, his moves sharp and precise, his sword an extension of himself. The only thing Emiri had over him was her speed; he would barely miss stabbing her, his sword merely grazing her each time. He couldn't quite get his grip, though he seemed more amused than anything. He was certainly toying with both her and Shion, the same dissonant smile on his face.

As Shion was pushed back by Rio's swing, she took a few steps back, lightly bumping into one of the shelves. A glint in Rio's eye alerted her, and he swung, magicks spewing from his sword. To her surprise, it had been aimed high, but by the time she realized his intention, it was too late. Books rained down around her, and she broke into a sprint as the giant bookshelf slowly fell forward. She threw her arms over her head, a small shout being heard as everything came down.

"Shion!" Emiri called, alarmed as the dust settled, though she let out a yelp as she narrowly avoided Rio's next attack.

Spinning around to face Rio, she watched his amused expression. And he called Shion arrogant? What a jerk. She thought bitterly, taking two of her blades in her hands as the rest hung behind her. Even if he regenerates, I need to do something to slow him down. The thought crossed her mind as she noticed her knees shaking slightly. Gripping her swords tightly, an idea came to mind. Holding both blades in front of her, she never took her eyes off Rio as she crouched down. He kept his concentration on her, his sword aloft, inviting her to strike.

Breaking into a run, Emiri swung high first, her blade connecting with Rio's. Her second blade swung low, and he caught it as she anticipated. Twisting her wrist, she forced him to bend with her, swinging both his arms upwards. It left him open, and her left hand went forward, stabbing his shoulder. He raised an eyebrow, as if interested, though she managed to block his sword with her other one. Using her wind magicks to push herself, her second sword would join her first, driving them both into Rio's shoulder blade. With a swift motion, Emiri swung them in opposite directions, severing his arm off.

"Now that's not very nice," Rio murmured, his tone light as he stared at his stump. His eyes darted back to her as her sword then went for his neck, and he sighed as he blocked her swing with ease. "That kind of savagery isn't like you, now is it?" Emiri resigned herself to not give into his words--all he wanted to do was anger her--instead becoming more aggressive with her strikes. Rio clucked his tongue, though he smiled once more as she would stab him again, this time on his lower abdomen. "Feels good, doesn't it?" He asked her cheerfully.

The question completely threw her off, her eyes wide. "What?"

"Taking out your aggression on me," He explained. Her eyes narrowed, and he watched as she successfully disarmed him, though he simply watched her. "Touchy, touchy. Tell me, what will you do now? Behead me? Stab me repeatedly? Spill my guts onto the ground for all to see? Bask in the glory of killing me before the Prodigal Son could?"

"Killing you is not something I do for glory," Emiri snapped as she kicked him down. "You've caused enough of a mess, once you're gone everything will be back to how it was."

Rio scratched his cheek thoughtfully. "Will it now?" He asked slowly, catching her attention. "Last I heard, Jaakuna will be going to take his rightful place on the throne. I'm going to safely assume you'll be joining him, but...that's a far stretch from 'how it was'. You were always on the lam, always wandering from one place to the next."

"How did you--" Inhaling sharply, Emiri rightfully kicked his side. "When I say 'how it was', I mean not having to deal with the likes of you and everyone else trying to kill me!" She corrected him, annoyed.

"Did I strike a nerve?" He asked innocently. "I'm not surprised, your commitment-phobia is written all over your face."

"Nothing will ever be the same," She informed him coldly. "That's just how life is. Things change, places change, people change--" Something in the air changed, and Emiri leapt backwards, looking around. What was this feeling?

"People like...Jaakuna?" Rio asked as he picked himself up off the ground. He cricked his neck, closing one eye as he rubbed the back of his neck. "That'll be Loghrif's magicks you're feeling. A bit hostile, isn't it?" He asked her, his arm slowly regenerating itself. "The legends say it has the power to purify. His light is supposed to be comforting for the pure, and wicked for the dark ones."

"I'm getting really tired of this conversation."

"What, you get tired of the facts?"

Emiri shook her head. "You continue to speak as if we are one and the same, but we aren't," She decided to inform him. "I, for one, won't cave into my weaknesses."

"Are you sure about that?" Now it was Emiri's turn to smile, green eyes lighting up as the wind began to pick up, swirling around them. Rio grinned, crossing his arms as he watched their surroundings. "I can't say you haven't kept me entertained, at least."

---

Savayna was trapped, and the time had come. At Jaakuna's remark, the princess couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course she was right, she had some semblance of an idea as to what she was doing. At the very least, he had done his part, now it was her turn. "If you would simply accept that I'm usually right, things would go a lot smoother between the two of us," Nadeline told Jaakuna without breaking her focus, her rod aloft with her magicks brimming. "Cleanse!" She called, her glyph completing itself as her magicks swarmed around Savayna.

The purifying magicks seared through Savayna, driving out the force that would cloud her mind. As they worked, Nadeline's knees buckled underneath her, and she let herself fall on them, still holding her rod steady. This was taking more out of her than she had realized, though she was confident she could continue. As the light faded from her rod, she gasped for air, her hand to her chest. The last of Nadeline's spell would finish its work on Savayna.

"...Did it work?" Nadeline asked Jaakuna, watching Savayna wearily.

---

As Grant skidded to a halt, something in the air had changed. He looked around, eyes scanning their surroundings. "This is..." He murmured, frowning as he looked to the direction the sensation was coming from. "I'm sure that's Emiri, but there's something else there."
He told Wesley as he looked to the distance.

It would seem the Creature has chosen to reveal itself. Zeromus mused thoughtfully.

What?! "The Creature?!" He blurted out, though a nearby Ren caught his attention.

Final Fantasy: Reverence [Spots Open]

The Divine Songstress - Aria

Name:

Lady Aria Cadewyn of House Eldoris

Age:
22
Gender:
Female
Nationality:
Escain

Heritage:
Escainian

Personality:

As a well-known songstress, Aria is a bubbly, charismatic young woman. She's very open and welcoming, able to communicate with nearly anyone while keeping a bright smile on her face. She's curious about others, always wanting to delve into her thoughts, though she is quick to put up her own walls when inquired about. Despite her sunny appearance, she tends to get lost in thought a lot, and is on the forgetful side of things. She seeks to avoid fighting and arguments, though understands they're inevitable. Often, she prefers to keep her insecurities and fears to herself, though once in a while she'll let her true feelings slip.

Public Biography:

The House of Eldoris is one of knowledge, as their patriarch Lorenzo Eldoris pioneered Dogma research, and it is rumored that the Eldoris line were once royalty. These days the latter is forgotten, but the family of prominent scholars and researchers ensured that the name Eldoris would be recognized world wide and revered in Escain. The family has amassed great wealth due to their contributions and has grown wide, though the family secrets are kept tight under lock and key.
Born the third child of Vivace and Lirit into the branch family Cadewyn, Aria grew up in wealth and lavished in knowledge. When her proficiency for magic was discovered, the family was able to hire a mentor from Raelin and she was able to study privately. Her parents would also make sure to groom Aria into a woman of faith from a young age, cementing her belief in the gods and had her tutor include lessons about the gods in her education. Perhaps it was because of that faith that Aria would blossom into a talented summoner, her white magics on par with those years ahead of her. The pressure was insufferable, though she found her escape in music, often escaping her home to go perform on the street.
Her voice attracted many, and with her summoning talents revealed to the public as well, Aria's celebrity status was all but cemented. She earned her freedom at last, traveling around the world to put on performances wherever and whenever she was asked. At first, she relished the freedom, though she would realize soon that she traded one prison for another. She couldn't so much as walk down the street without being recognized, and there was more than a few occasions where she was hassled. Still, she chose to embrace her glided cage as well as her many fans--she truly loved to perform and reach out to people.

She has two elder sisters, Cadenza and Sonata. She has little contact with her family, though they write to one another on occasion.

The Truth of House Eldoris

The House of Eldoris has long been experimenting on any child with any sort of magical ability, wishing to raise an army of artificial summoners, their goal of bringing forth Alexander being their endgame. As the bloodline has produced many prolific mages, they were deemed the perfect candidates. Their experiments have resulted in many deaths, though they believe their success outweighs the downfalls. While it was mostly those of the main house--those who were believed to be the 'purest'--with whom the experiments were performed on, it was discovered that the branch families also held just as much potential. After the success of Vivace summoning at a tender age, they wed her to Lirit, another summoner, in hopes their children would all inherit their power.

Sure enough, the three first-born showed promise. However, Harmonia showed signs of instability and an ineptitude at actually controlling her powers. Despite their attempts to seize control, a summon resulted in the deaths of many, and the destruction of one of the facilities. Cadenza and Sonata, the two eldest, had their memories sealed away and were monitored closely, although it would result in all the sisters losing the memory of Harmonia. When Aria was shown to have an aptitude for magic, they used a more subtle approach, using the excuses of gifted jewelry in a way to both monitor her and quietly give her the ability to summon. It was much more successful, though they showed concern when Aria began to gain popularity as a songstress. Rather than make any unneeded risks of exposure, they chose instead to gift her a pair of bangles, hoping they would amplify her powers.

After all, Alexander will only answer the call of their best...
