Ascending Fire 3,
*around noon a woman on a horse would arrive to the Imperial Manse once again, this time she was hoping for an audience. Since the last time she was here the webbing had been removed and she smiled a little at the radiance of the giant building. The horse and rider came to a stop at the main entrance and she hopped lightly off her mount, long hair shimmering randomly through different dark colors as it was tossed about in her dismount. Despite her extremely delicate frame she managed to recover smoothly and knock on the doors. She made sure to wear a nice set of clothes to see Emperor Ress, wanting to make a good impression. From the ankle of one leg the coil of a dragon tail started and proceeded to wrap itself up her leg and around her torso and climb up over the arm diagonal to the starting leg, the article of clothing finishing off with the head of the dragon resting on her shoulder. Other than shoes, the rest of her was bare and her hair loose, with two unmatched earrings in her ears and a ring that seemed more than inanimate*

* The dragon Quar-Zagot opened the door Giving the stranger a smile and a nod.
Quar was clad in what looked to be a variant of the Wai tan-Junai's garments. a silk stoney grey set of robes, tied loose at the wrists and around the waist with a bit of fine fiberous string, strung with white jade beads with two rows of white jade buttons down the front, and finishing it up, a symbol of Pasiap in white jade on a necklace of leather.
He stepped to the side to allow her in. He took note of the dragon clothing she wore, flattered for a moment... but soon realized that this was no Creation born dragon... this was a depiction of The Ebon Dragon.
A touch of distrust passed through him, but he reserved judgement of this woman for The Emperor*
"Follow the golden carpet to the lift platform... it will take you to The Emperor at the top of the Manse."
* Beyond the door, a golden carpet stretched from the threshold, past twelve sets of ivory & gold pillars, then stopped at a large square booth with three walls and an Orichalcum floor*

*she looked up at his eyes with her red and black ones and smiled back timidly, despite the outfit she was wearing. Her shoes clacked softly as she walked, the delicacy of her form more pronounced with the dainty fluidity of her movement*
Thank you, Kazei, you are very kind
*the girl's head dipped to Quar and she slipped past him, a fleeting look over her shoulder at the real dragon that stood at the door. She had seen the distrust in his eyes, a bit sad that he felt that way about her, but she was used to it. It wasn't long before she had followed the golden trail to the Solar Emperor waiting at the end. At the platform she stepped up, admiring the handiwork of the device and reasserted her footing when it started its slow ascent*

* When the platform stopped, she would see the back of the Emperor, looking over his empire from the side of the manse, bow drawn, arrow readied and wreathed in the golden glow of his solar anima.
His orichalcum crown sat atop his head, his long white hair hanging down from under it.
Unlike when she first saw him, he wore a far less ornate traveler's suit, but of course, made from an artful combination of silk, leather and gold trim.
When he let go of the arrow, a blinding burst of light shot from the wooden shaft, becoming almost a mini sun as it left the bow.
The arrow then sprouted nine wings behind it as it sailed towards the ground, spinning and spraying flecks of gold and white light in all directions, untill slamming into the ground.
Rapidly, the arrow grew out into a huge bush filled with plump juicy black berries, begging to be picked.
Ress then gave a chuckle, banished the bow into his bracer with a spray of light, then turned to look at her. He gave her a small bow of his head, then motioned for her to have a seat in a thousand comforts chair to the left of the moving platform*
" Welcome to my manse. I am Emperor Ress, as you know... now, what is it I can do for you?"

Ascending Fire 3,
*It wasn't too long before she was looking out over the empire at the top of the Imperial Manse, the awe-inspiring form of the emperor practicing his archery.
She wasn't sure if this was an intentional thing, finding the emperor practicing an art of war, or if it was mere coincidence. Either way he was a beautiful person and the effect wasn't lost on the woman. A blush tinged her cheeks and she smiled at the emperor*
Yes, I do recognize you, Emperor Ress. Before I begin I would like to congratulate you on your newest addition and wish blessings of health on you and yours
*her eyes sparkled a little as she thought back to the last time she was here, pausing only a moment before beginning again*
I'm here today to ask a favor of you. I know that I haven't been here for long and that I haven't done anything wondrous for you that might make you consider this, but please do anyway. I want to make a person, but I lack the proper facilities to do so. With an empire this mighty I thought that there might be what I was looking for...
*she looked up at Ress's face, trying to discern what he was thinking and potentially judge his preliminary reaction*
So my question is: may I use those facilities to make a person?

* Ress looked her over a moment as she spoke, not knowing what to think of the phrase, 'make a person', but was going to take this at what it was worth*
" Facilities to make a person? I have come to find that such a place is as simple as ones own bedroom... before I can say yes or no, I need to know exactly what it is you are talking about?"
* Ress took a seat at the ledge of the manse, unafraid of falling back to his doom*
" And do forgive me for being cautious... as I said before, you are obviously not fully human... and I am sorry to say, that gives me some pause"

Ascending Fire 3,
*the woman blinked and thought over what Ress had said before chuckling quietly*
I apologize Emperor, I meant that I would be using the craft of Genesis to make the person. I know that you don't really have any reason to trust me, knowing what I am, so you are welcome to oversee the process if you feel so inclined. What I need is an adequate factory, most preferably a factory cathedral, but barring that I was looking for a master's workshop. I could create her with the small factory I brought with me, but I really would like to have access to a nice one.
What I'll do is genetically engineer a woman in the image I want and with the capabilities that I so choose, etc. Did you have any other questions for me?

* Ress puzzled over what she had just asked for, turning her words over and over in his head, trying to find any danger in what she was asking for, but had not the knowledge to know if such a thing was safe or not. He gave her a nod, then stood back up*
" Very well, Varsika. I will grant you this, but you will be watched over by Lirimana, our Twilight.
I myself am ignorant of the craft you speak of and do not yet understand the importance of it... but we will see what it is you create, and if there is great merit to it... perhaps we can talk about my funding the advancement of your creations and findings.
Go to Kideshen, in the manse that lies within, you will find both Lirimana and the Lab you require. Is there anything else you would like to say, Varsika?"

No, I think that's everything
*Varsika bowed her head to Ress and smiled at her emperor*
Thank you very much, Emperor Ress. When she is finished I'll bring her for you to see. Would you like that?
*she turned her body a little more to the door as she readied to leave, having gotten her permission and finding herself eager to begin*

* Ress smiled and gave her a nod*
" Of course. when your experiment is done, bring it and Lirimana with you and I will look it over. I am excited to see what you can do. Do take care Varsika.... and please, don't make me regret this"
