The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Lovejoy Okay, so. Tsu'kasa's machine, that'd probably be the thing that is basically a perpetual motion machine or whatever, and those guys are in Cero. How did word get to Lanostre so fast? Dunno why they call him/his daughter a traitor, but I'm guessing it's because of anti-Varyan sentiment that seems rampant in Lanostre. It's interesting that they can get away with it so openly, as they seem to, but eh.

I do wonder why there is talk in Lanostre of the machines in Tsarae, and them being connected to the glacier.

Interesting that they know of and recognize Astraea, even though she was taken years ago. Or maybe not, I guess it makes sense, in a way. Especiually if the nurse is Varyan, and only recently sent to Lanostre. INteresting that Cillian and Astraea know each other so well.

Interesting that seraphs now come from the glacier of demons, or near it. Were the other demons failed seraphs, or lesser ones? Is there another reason?

And interesting that we have a Warband Seraph and now actual seraphs. I do wonder, what is the Varyan concept of angels, and how are they connected to seraphs (which are usually a higher rank of angel or soemthing like that?)

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

@Lovejoy TBH I'd love to see it too. Trick is getting her to cooperate. ^.^;; BUT I'M TOTALLY GAME AND WE CAN FIND A WAY!

"Those decisions will not be easy. The archives...there might be something, but I have no idea where to begin looking. Rodion and I would sneak down there sometimes, when we could get away with it." A flicker of a smile crossed Ziotea's face as she remembered the hours down among the stacks, alone save for each other and things so old the dust stung her nose when they disturbed them. "I never came across anything like this, and really...I don't know if the church would care to keep them around. To say there was an appetite that exceeded Lord Varya's treads close to heresy." The gentleness in her expression faded, turning cold, and she twisted the haft of her spear in her hand.

"I don't know what I believe," she admitted at last, not liking to sound uncertain but finding no better answer. "I can't dismiss this out of hand, but there's too many questions still unanswered for me to accept it. But even if it isn't true, we would do well to learn all we can before leaving, now that we've begun -- especially if we need to deal with the three upstairs as well." She glanced around, tapping a gauntleted finger on her spear before adjusting her grip and swinging the point downwards as she turned to go. "I'm going to find the boy, and see where we'll be sleeping. I mean to talk to Rose after." She paused, glancing over her shoulder. "If we were guided here, it was Leviathan's Aspect that did it. ...You should know, Father Oren, I don't see any of this as my heritage. I am Varyan because that is who claimed me. Lanostre is the ones that abandoned me, but Omestris...Omestris is the heritage that was nothing but a curse. I am not one of you." She faced away and headed off.

@CollectorOfMyst severe and repeated injuries, I think.

IOT WOULD BE SO CUTE!

I am almost done with a post @Lovejoy.

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Lovejoy That's possible. I think I hit the first page by accident briefly, and I do read fast. I could have lifted the comment and just misplaced it. ^.^;;

I reiterate that Stina carrying Ragnar would be adorbs, though. We all know Ziotea would never let him carry her (and Rodion'd have a fit anyhow if she did).

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@The Angry Goat I must be going nuts because I could have sworn there was an OOC comment about Stina carrying the Aegis and smashing heads or something, and now I can't find it. O.o

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@The Angry Goat "carry the aegis" You mean Ragnar? Stina's gonna carry Ragnar? That'd be ADORABLE.

Ahh, it's nice getting to see him with the others. <3 Feels like I know him better already. And the battle lust is fun. But if he ever called Zt "aether cattle" where she could hear him he'd probably have to punch her out to keep her from shredding him. She might regret it after if she succeeded, but she'd be so angry. Not that she'd succeed. She can't quite manage to beat him yet, if I remember right.

@CollectorOfMyst I love it. Gonna get a reply up once I can braaaaiiiin again.

@Lovejoy I just remembered that you guys were gonna have Hassan have his power not work because someone had a strong will or something. Is that still in the works?

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@CollectorOfMyst A POST A POST A POST WOO! *explodes into happy confetti*

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

I feel that...I need to reread so I remember the burning questions I had.
