* The chime of Sentinel could be heard through Ress' sleeping chambers before being followed by the disembodied voice of the spectral guardian* " Sir, It seems the man you know as Towering Oak is in front of the manse. Shall I let him in?
* Ress sat up in bed, then blinked* So soon?.. its only been a single day!!....Yes, of course, let him in! * he hopped out of bed and began getting himself all primmed and prepared for visitors. Needless to say, he was impressed.. this Towering Oak man was filled with surprises* You do not need to get up, my mate... you may stay here if you like. I am going to see Towering Oak.

*The chime woke Arachnia, too, and she listened silently, now fully awake as he announced their visitor. She, too, was a bit surprised that he had made it there so quickly, but she was perhaps not as impressed as her Mate. She had higher expectations of these Solars, she was realizing, than her Mate did. When Ress had risen, so did she, slipping on a black silk gown with webbed arms and a slit on both sides from her hips down that was connected by a silken web. The Moonsilver Black Widow Razors climbed up her arms and onto her shoulders from their place near her bed. She went to the mantle and placed the crown from it on her head, as well as donning her ornate Moonsilver bracers. Her shoes now the last to go on, she smiled at Ress's suggestion* A bit late, my Mate, I'm ready to go

* Now, all done up like an emperor, Ress composed himself and placed his crown atop his head, before going to his mobile platform, lowering him down to the entry level of his imperial manse. He thought about what he might say as he descended rapidly though the manse. The platform hissed, then clicked as it stopped completely. Slowly, he stepped off the platform and made his way to the Entrance, hoping to see Towering Oak before he was seen himself*

* As Ress stood atop his manse, held aloft by the platform which quickly took him from one level to the next. his bow was drawn and his quiver half empty of arrows. beads of sweat trickled down his brow as his caste mark burned brightly... but his training was uninterrupted by a communicative click, then the voice of the guardian spirit of his manse* Ress... The Solar Lirimana has arrived.. shall I let her in? *Ress smirked a bit as he watched his arrow fly farther than it had before, then gave a nod* Right on time... please let her in Sentinel * His bow disappeared in a flash of golden sunlight, having been pulled back into his cache bracer. the platform he stood upon lept to life and lowered him down through the many levels of his imperial manse, until he arrived at the first floor* Sentinel, please inform Towering Oak that I would like to meet him in the control room... thank you. * he walked off the platform and made his way to the front. He felt a bit of trepidation as the time for explaining himself came close.. hopefully they will take his ancient allies plight as seriously as he did.*

*Arachnia followed behind Ress silently, her Black Widow Razors glinting softly in the light of the Manse. As she walked, she stroked them and made sure to stop if ever her Mate did, not wanting to ruin whatever surprise he was intending on Towering Oak, though she did wonder how he intended to hide from a man who could hear whispers from across the room. A smirk hit her lips at that thought, yes, she knew. How could she not with a smirk on his face like there had been?... It would seem that the Twilight had not yet arrived*

*As Towering walked deeper into the manse he turned slow circles, gazing at the walls, up at the ceiling, at the bits of ornamentation that where everywhere. He hadn't gotten a good feel for the manse the first time he was here, so He was determined to rectify that, which is why he heard the quiet hiss and slightly louder click, somewhere far off to his right. He looked over that direction but couldn't see anything in the gargantuan manse. He shrugged and started walking that way. No sense in making Ress walk farther than he had too. After all, Oak thought, His emperor look kinda frail. At that he chuckled as he headed off to meet his emperor again.*

*Arachnia stood at the panel she used to read from, the ancient text she was looking at full of diagrams and instructions. She was about to make an incision on her arm, the instruments to sew her back up laid out on the table when a silvery woman materialized and nodded to her*
You told me to alert you when the Twilight arrived, and she is being let in right now. Shall we resume your lesson later?
Of course, Zeriku. Thank you for letting me know.. *Arachnia set down the knife and blanked the panel so she could leave* If you would bring us back to Imperveress, that would be appreciated
*Tia-Ona-Zeriku nodded and disappeared. The Manse started to move and soon they were back in Imperveress* We've arrived, Arachnia
*By the time they had reached Imperveress, Arachnia was wearing the shape of a snowy owl. She made a little screech and flew out the door opened for her, making quick time back to the main manse so that she would be there for the meeting*
*Tia-Ona-Zeriku opened up the communication link to Sentinel*Hello Sentinel, Arachnia is almost there, please let open a window for her to get in. Birds have difficulty opening doors, after all. I'm sure it would be appreciated. Let me know how the meeting goes? Unless you'd rather I stop in..

* Towering Oak was not hard to spot, the huge man walking plain as day through his manse. When he came to meet him, Ress gave a bow and a smile* Good evening, Towering Oak. I must say, I am very impressed that you would arrive here in but a nights time, it seems I have under-estimated you... but no matter. I would love to tell you why I called you here.. but I am afraid, though dire the situation... I must wait until Lirimana arrives to divulge this information upon you... I am terribly sorry, but so long as you are here, make yourself at home... should you need any questions asked or any sort of help.. just call upon Sentinel, he will answer any question you might have about my manse... now then, is there anything I can do for you tonight, Towering Oak? * Ress cocked his head to the side in questioning, only slightly betraying how sleepy he was*

* As the front gate opened, so did a window on the control room floor, unbeknown to Ress of course. It did not take long for Ress to meet up with Lirimana. He bowed to her quickly, before standing up once more* Welcome Lirimana... I am afraid there is little time, please, come with me to the control room * he took her hand and quickly lead her to one of the platforms used to go from floor to floor*

*Towering Oak smiled at his sleepy sounding Emperor and shook his head, mercifully removing his gaze from Ress.* Not Really. *Oak looked back at Ress, brows furrowing a bit in thought.* Well, Actually... *He paused and looked around the vast interior of the manse.* Where do I sleep?

Towering Oak, Ress has requested your presence in the control room. Do you require directions?
*Towering Oak looked up from the bed which he was resting on, rolled slightly to his left and sat up.* Nope, I'm Good. *Oak stood up, stretched and cracked his neck.* Thank you though Sentinel. *At that Towering Oak stepped out of the guest room that he had been staying and proceeded to the control room. No one was there yet so he leaned against a handy wall and waited.*

Oh? Oh yes! of course.... Sentinel! please show Towering Oak the guest quarters.................. we have guest quarters, right?* The glittering golden form of the first age spirit known as Sentinel materialized next to Ress and Towering Oak, looking slightly surprised that Ress asked this question*... Of course we do, Emperor Ress.... * he turned to Towering Oak and gave him a nod* If you like, I can show you to your room right now, Towering Oak * Ress gave a little yawn, but did his best to hold it back* Is there anything else I can do for you, Towering Oak?

*Towering Oak smiled at Ress. He looked at Sentinel for a moment, his penetrating and weighing gaze seeming to have no effect on the hologram, and looked back at Ress. Then he nodded, and smiled a bit more at the minuscule look of dismay in Ress's eye.* Yes, Get some sleep.

*Arachnia stood next to Ress as he met up with Towering Oak. Her black eyes traveled the length of his frame, gauging whether or not he was tired from his run. She smiled a little while they exchanged words, not really having anything to add since Sentinel covered it all. It would seem that she had gotten dressed up for little. Her mind wandered a little as she decided whether or not to go to her manse to study. Hearing Ress's question, Arachnia raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Maybe he had never explored all of the Manse.... she certainly had, but they were two separate people. Her gaze remained on Towering Oak, though more focused on his face than whether or not he was exhausted now, her voice slipping through her lips like a whisper of silk on skin* Towering Oak, are you hungry? We can prepare you something to eat if you are. No need to go hungry in the land of bounty, hmm?

*Arachnia flew through the open window, smiling inwardly as she realized that it must have been Zeriku who had the window open for her. Making a mental note to thank her later, Arachnia glided down the hall, her feathers ruffling as she spotted Ress and Lirimana hand in hand, though she decided not to bring it up in the meeting. She would simply have a talk with the presumptuous hatchling later... Arachnia let out a hoot so they would know not to close the door before she could fly in, intending to dive through the opening*
