Infallible Mentor

[Arachnia of the Hour]

Resplendent Wood 13,


*the little cherub appeared before Tia-Ona-Zeriku and in Arachnia's voice it spoke to the manse A.I., the message coming through as clear as if the Lunar were speaking to her herself. Of course, Arachnia was standing across the room, but she wasn't actually doing the talking anymore. The Empress raised a slender brow to her mentor and awaited judgment. It had taken a few days but Zeriku was a competent sorceress and with her tutelage the spell was much easier to learn*

*Zeriku listened to the woman's commentary and searched for any flaws in the spell, checking it for any and all flaws. She might be nitpicky, but that's part of what made her so skilled. When it was over she looked over to her student and nodded*

Well done, Arachnia, it looks as though you have mastered this spell. Shall we continue with something else?

*Arachnia thought for a moment before shaking her head*

Later, but for now I have an order I need to place and a Mate to consult with. Tomorrow, though, I would like to pick up something else

*the silvery woman nodded and disappeared in a sparkly puff of essence*

Alright, Empress. Just know that time is drawing near, your breathing lessons will need to start soon*

Yes, I know. Thank you for your help, Zeriku. I'll come back tomorrow and we can add the breathing into our lessons

*with all of her practice finished for now she left her manse for Ress's and went to consult with him on their order*

*Arachnia went into their manse and made straight for the roof. In their off-time of daily practice, she could most always find him here so this was where she started. When she arrived onto the roof her thought was validated and she slipped up behind Ress, putting her arms around him, snuggling her face into his back*

Hello, my Love. Are you ready to make that order?....

* Of course, Ress could be found at the top of the imperial manse, firing arrows down at the crater, or up at the horizon. He jumped a little when Arachnia came up behind him and hugged him. in a flash of gold, he banished his bow into his bracers for safe keeping.

A smile crossed his face as he gave a nod, looking out at the setting sun as he spoke to Arachnia* " Ah yes, a splendid idea, Arachnia. We should send out for it immediately. And do not forget, varnished ebony is the material we need."

Of course, my Love

*Arachnia stood back and began the symbols and spoke the phrases necessary to invoke the Infallible Messenger spell, the fat little cherub appearing for Arachnia to speak to. She intended for the spell to be whispered into the ear of the receiver and thus whispered it into the ear of the cherub. The only words that could be distinguished were "varnished ebony" and "69 centimeters by 132 centimeters," her whispering otherwise only heard by the messenger. When she was done the naked angel baby winked out and made its way to its target. Arachnia smiled and went back to Ress, wrapping her arms around him*

There we are, all done my darling. There's a surprise in our room if you'd like to see..

*a nuzzle went to Ress's cheek and she kissed his neck gently, closing her eyes to enjoy the smell of her Mate*

* Ress continued to look out at his empire, pleased at how much it has grown in such a short time.. but of course, that is just what happens when Exalts watched over such vast domains.
He put a hand on Arachnias and nodded, turnning around slowly* " A surprize? Well then, I will have to go see what it is"

* When Ress looked at Arachnia, he couldnt help but notice the small patch of darkness in the land far beyond the walls of his empire to the north. He winced for a moment, having forgotten how close his people were to the dangers of creation's darker side.

He quickly hid his distaste for what he saw and followed Arachnia onto the platform, where they were lowered down into the Imperial Manse*
