Exodus

(Winchester for Azurael, Windrider for Sasha)
Sasha saw Sephiroth and behind him Azurael and T'vor. "What is it you want?" Sasha snapped, her toned conveying her dislike for mornings. "I am hungry and must go and fetch my own breakfast seeing as no one will do it for me." Sasha said, clearly in a petulant mood as well.

Azurael was looking steadily at her former ward. A fact Sasha did not miss.

"Quit staring at me like you want something. You are a Demon citizen are you not? The angels have nothing for you." Sasha said.

"Perhaps not but I must still keep watch." Azurael replied her voice steely. She worried too about Sasha being so unstable.

Exodus

"You can trust me and I will never betray that trust." Azurael said.

"I will help and assist in any manner I can." Azurael said. She would, she was steadfast in her loyalty and would shift heaven and earth were it possible for those she was loyal to, and if necessary she would lay down her own life.

"I think you will do great things Lord".

" But we must advance quickly, Sasha will be in her tent still, she never favoured rising early."
...............
Sasha was indeed in her tent. She was still only putting her footwear on ready to meander over to the mess tent, after she had dine her hair.

Exodus

"It is my first time too. Though we always saw the sun we never saw it rise." Azurael said

Mindful of T'vor's instruction Azurael chose her words as carefully as possible. "Your Majesty, the Angel kingdom is in danger. I may not be thier kin any more but I still share thier blood. I ask of you, to help me in my endeavour. We must remove the threat."

Exodus

"I am worried about the Angels. Sasha will lead them to ruin, she isn't ready for rule. She is too unstable and too inexperienced. Though they cast me out I must still keep watch for them." Azurael said.

"I think we need to talk to Sephiroth. I hope he can help. I don't even know what to do in this situation. Would you be willing to come along with me? General?" Azurael asked.

Azurael had folded her wings in tight, a trademark sign of being worried. It was better than letting them relax and show they were quivering. Azurael looked at T'vor "I am sorry to ask this of my superior officer, but I do as I must."

Exodus

Azurael was walking towards where she knew T'vor would be. She needed to discuss Sasha with him. She was very worried about her former ruler, while Sasha may have condemmed her, Azurael still felt a measure of protectiveness towards Sasha. In her view Sasha was too unstable to be ruler and she wanted T'vor's advice on how best to help her former brethren.

I would be willing to help with any part.

Exodus

With Sephiroth's last words Vulan also slept.

The next morning would indicate little of what the day would bring save that the dragons had seemed to have have a growth spurt overnight. The were now roughly 2 meters from nose to tail tip.

Sasha was lazing around in her tent recovering from the previous day.

Azurael had been up since the early hours of the morning and was currently teaching her platoon more wing exercises. She noted that there were a lot less feathers being lost, although she figured that was mostly because there was not many more feathers that could be lost. She had to stifle a laugh and pretend to have a coughing fit as she imagined what an Angel would look like without feathers.

Exodus

"Perhaps. The angels would sooner a demon ruler than an ineffectual one or no ruler. They need structure and having a ruler is part of that, take that away and it will be a bloodbath. Or perhaps force her to abdicate with the condition she only be allowed to rule again once she has proven herself.”

”Are there any of the Angels who know how the kingdom is run? They would have to be totally trustworthy and completely willing to back you up with this. Even if they do not know entirely how a kingdom is run but have experience of even being the princess's adviser or confidante will do. They need an intimate knowledge of the people and the kingdom."

Vulan pondered for a minute. "Whoever you ask must also be able to keep secrets, especially in the event they decline. They may even have to step in as interim ruler should you not be able to cope with the ruling of two kingdoms."

Vulan shook his head from side to side. "Politics hurt my head. Perhaps we should discuss this more in the morning, although I am curious as to who you would have in mind, if you do have someone you are thinking of."

Vulan rested his head on his front paws and covered himself with his wings. He watched with hooded eyes as his brethren slept at the foot of Sephiroth's bed.

Exodus

"Perhaps because you are her polar opposite, then think of what you are and do, then reverse it. Perhaps it might do that she take a rest from being ruler, she was clearly never ready to have it so suddenly thrust upon her. I have heard she was not told until a few days before launch and recieved as much instruction as they could cram between then and the launch. Also the fact that it was the plan of Order to destroy the star and send our three kinds here to Earth, that weighs on her. She is a child trying to fit the role of an adult, a weighty role of ruler no less." Vulan said.

The young dragon was honoured by the fact he was being asked advice from, and from the leader of Demon-kind no less.

Exodus

"A new shout." Vulan replied. "Perhaps not new to dragons, but new for me. It is a shout I like and feel some kinship towards." Vulan added by way of explaination.

"The she-angel is dangerous. She is headstrong and determined, both are good qualities in a leader but I fear she will go the wrong way with her rulership. You land-walkers are fickle things. So small and weak compared to a fully grown Dov, but so able to devastate and lay waste to entire planets. The she-angel is lost I think, I got that much of an impression off her. She has no idea at all how to act." Vulan said.

Vulan went and lay perched on the dresser next to Seph's bed. He curled up, head towards Sephiroth. "I am but young, though this is how I see."
