Some guards come out to the site and look at the body. They look angrily at the Chaos Lord and roll him unto a stretcher. They wrap the stretcher in chains. They speak with Ellika who goes with them into the castle.

Julian looks to his daughter, "Will you be alright ?"

Tanique smiled and put on a brave face
"I've had worse.  But thank you for asking.  I'll try to take it easy from now on."
She smiled innocently

"Keep out of trouble for a few days at least." He then turned to follow Lady Ellika and the guards carrying the body of the Chaos Lord back into the castle.

Tanique smiled as he walked away, then looked at Liya and gave her a playful wink when she thought her father wasn't looking.

Tanique grinned.
"That sounds boring!"
She used some of the salve on her wounds and sore muscles

The liquid foams up and is cold. These wounds are more extensive covering the front of her torso and upper thighs. She uses up the whole canister.

"Definitely too boring for you. You should have gotten your fill of trouble for tonight though." She joked with Tanique.

Tanique grinned, but sighed.
"Perhaps, but between you and me I'm probably done with excitement for the night.  I should go sit down for a while.  Preferably with a strong drink."

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll join you for that drink." Liya walks with Tanique for a drink.

Tanique, while hesitant to leave the Chaosian assassin alone, walked with Liya into the castle, heading for her rooms.

You soon find yourself within your private chambers in the castle. Feel free to describe it.

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

Tanique's private suite of rooms is a weird mix of a delicate, sophisticated medieval lady, and a spartan, battle hardened knight of the realm.
Fancy and upholstered furniture, delicately embroidered and colored in dazzling jewel tones, stood beside weapons racks and armor stands.  Beautiful tapestries with scenes of dancing ladies, stunning birds and the occasional unicorn, were interspersed with mounted weapons, battle trophies, like the heads of dragons, a chimera, and a basilisk, as well as several large axes and great swords mounted on the walls.

The tables by the collection of chairs were covered with doilies, with candles and pitchers of wine and other drinks, and plates of cookies and small cakes.

Tanique walked, and sat down harder than she'd intended in one of the large chairs by the main fireplace, which had been set up and was roaring heartily.
She sighed tiredly.

Liya looks around the room and smiles. "You havent changed, cousin. Im glad to see it."  She walks over to the table and pours two glasses of wine, bringing one to Tanique and sits across from her.

Tanique grinned at Liya and raised her glass in a toast.
"To family and friends, then."

She drinks and shrugs.
"To be honest, I've been pondering that very question.  Change.  I like my life, admittedly, and part of me wants to stay in this current life forever, but part of me also wants to be more, to become more.  I'm not just sure what. "

"To family and friends."

"Have you walked Amber's Pattern yet? When I walked the Hydra's Path, it opened the door to new possibilities and adventures. That's actually how I ended up here tonight with Bastion. It was amazing."

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

Tanique listed intently.
"I haven't yet.  Father has been pushing for it, for the sake of versitility and usefulness if nothing else.  Perhaps that's something to work for.  I'm thinking about visiting Amber soon, after the festivities die down.  Honestly, going to Amber might be a vacation compared to all the shenanigans here. "
She took another sip of wine.
"What is the Path of the Hydra like?  I'll admit that it's one of the least known powers in these parts, I'm afraid."

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

Liya sips her wine. "I believe it is different for each person that walks it, but it was exhilarating. I could hear the Hydra all around me, hissing and roaring with each step I took. You have to walk the dark lines in the path. Once you are in the center, you just walk back the way you came. Once you are able to travel the worlds it takes you along the edge of the crevice. When I used it to travel the worlds, you go through the roughest pasts of each world before you find what you're looking for."

She smiled excitedly as she talked. The Hydra and its Path were fascinating topics of discussion for her, and she happily rambled on about both.

"I found this nice world with natural hot springs. I cant wait to go back there and make a trump of it."

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

Tanique nodded, thoughtfully
"The roughest parts of each world?  That sounds like an Adventure.  When we travel in the Storm, we ARE the roughest parts of each world.  Your way definitely sounds exciting.  How does the Hydra affect your life?"

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

She chuckled at the thought of Tanique being the roughest part of the world. "Im not stuck anymore in one place. The freedom, is freeing," Liya laughed.  "I can find whatever my heart desires. People, places, items. I've only just started to explore the worlds though, so I haven't much more experience than what I do now. I wish you could join me sometime, we'd have so much fun."

Tanique chuckled at her cousins joke.
"That sounds wonderful.  I've only just started traveling, but I'm still new at it.  I'd definitely love to try a road trip with you some time."

"I'd love that."

Liya sighed lightly and gazed at the fire burning beside them. "Its strange though. I swear the Hydra knows the truth. Why Im really there. I've had dreams about it since I walked the Path."

Even though they were alone, Liya lowered her voice. "Im spying on them for Amber. I swear the Hydra knows it too. It has tried to consume me in my dreams." She frowns forming wrinkles in her forehead.

Re: Crèche of the Four Winds - Roost of the Thunderbird

Tanique's eyes went wide and she nodded sympathetically
"Wow....I'm actually worried about you now.  Keeping that from the Hydra must be difficult. I wonder how the Hydra really feels about it?  I'd like to think the Thunderbird, if I were in a similar situation, would just have a sense of humor about it."
