Unexpected meeting (Rasha, Leyley)

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

having finished her time in the valley she had called her home with the closing of the nearby town finally growing bored of staying in the one place after all her friends had moved on with their own lives. Leyley had decided to venture stuffing around with teleportation spells as she went and arrived here "Hmm dark, dusty and lots of things let's explore." she said aloud now having grown used to speaking with herself rounding a corner she spots a familiar outline but can't picture it's owner. "Hi umm where are we?"

[Rasha]

Rasha was sitting at a table somewhere deep in the reaches of the Archives, which had many good books... along with a bunch of other things she really wasn't interested in at the moment. Her topic of search lay before her in a mound of Three books on Demons most of which she knew pretty much by heart, Two books on a long dead country of Valencia, and one on an obscure matter she would not speak of after putting the book back in it's correct location. Should she be able to find it that is.

A bright flash from a different spot in the Archives grabbed her attention for but moments. then she was back to reading how a race of Demons had at one point in time been so prominent as to have taken hold of a human city through combining thier powers of mind control. A horrid situation she was sure, but she had charms against most Demon natural abilities... wait did she have one against that? She supposed she could have a certain amount of immunity to it. She did not remember ever being mind controlled before.

Rasha heard the voice come from behind her and without turning she wondered who wouldn't know where they were? it wasn't like the place was easily gotten to. Maybe it was a ghost of someone who had been lost in the archives... she scoffed in her mind and replied, "The Archives". then dug back into the book. Luckily she didn't need light to see, becasue it was so dim here you were lible to trip if you didn't pay attention. People left books lying all over the floor. Or more like some Rodents had managed to get in and tore the place up everyonce in a while. Did they not have someone to care for the place?

OOC: well that was longer than expected o.o

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

grinning she flicked her fingers creating a light at the tip of them. "Hmm I know that voice is that you Rasha?" asked Leyley stepping forwards a little. "Its me Leyley, long time no see how have you been? it was almost like you had forgotten about me though I can't say that I would blame you if you did. After all who would remember an earth spirit when they need to get on with their own lives. Certainly not Jen or Carna though I think that they have passed on now." blabbering now she makes a seat and sits down opposite Rasha so that the light from her finger illuminated both of them.

[Rasha]

Hmm someone who knew her… a blessing or a curse. Of course it could be the one possessed by the demon. So she was on guard as the footsteps drew nearer. However, as the girl drew nearer her guard was lowered in some respects. The name… she recognized. Though not all memories that contained the girl were happy ones. She had been around at one time Rasha had tracked the Demon down, and though Ley had helped along with a few others the demon had eluded them… barely.

In truth she HAD forgotten Ley, but she wouldn’t say it the girl had been more inclined to certain things than Rasha was and may take the forgetting the wrong way. She found it hard to remember every single person she met and the farther back in time it was the harder they were to remember… Ley it had to be some 800 years she assumed. Quite a long time.

It took her eyes a few moments to adjust to the newfound light in the small section of the Archives. Her glance moved up and did a once over of Ley. She hadn’t changed in the least. Still seemed to be somewhere in her teens… early to Mid… maybe. It was quite the deceit. If she remembered correctly the girl was older than she was. However rasha refered to people by their apparent age so she would always be “girl” to Rasha should she not somehow manage to change her form… which Rasha had not noticed if she could.

“It’s… nice to see you again.” She said not looking back at her book and focusing on the others face. She wasn’t sure if she should put on a smile or not for this exact situation. Memories with Ley were vague and indecipherable as long as the Demon wasn’t present at the time… those she remembered well and as Ley had pulled more names out from the abyss of her memory she was able to attach them to faces in her mind. Some still were blank, but she couldn’t help that.

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

"Hmm ouch Rash I know its been 834 years 4 hours 23 minutes and 445 seconds. But still it hurts quite badly." frowning for a few quick seconds she blushes and grins again. "So you don't remember anything our fight against the demon? our relationship? nothing?" shaking her head she grins more. "of course not when you left they had that spell placed over the place that wiped your mind of me mostly." snapping her fingers she made a shimmering blue stream that placed itself on both temporal lobes. returning all of Rasha's memories to her. "There we go. Everything feeling alright? as you can see as the earth has been growing older my magic has been getting stronger. also my image can switch easily now watch" flicking her finger her image changes to that of what she would look like if she had kept growing till she was 22 " So umm what do you think?"

hoping for a positive answer but flinching slightly hoping it didn't upset Rasha. then gasping in pain as the back of her clothes starts bulging and a pair of wings grow out of her back. "Kyah"

[Rasha]

That the girl had kept track of time so well was a bad sign… it meant she didn’t have much else to do… or she supposed that it could mean the girl had a preposterously good account of time. As she had been thinking moments before her memory wasn’t nearly as good as that. Of course the mention of a memory altering spell she knew of that. She ahd been working for a while to unravel that one. The heavy fog over her memories that had been present right after the incident involving Ley had ended, was by now a light fog at best.

However now there was of course no fog. The girl it seemed was right. She HAD been getting stronger.. not that she hadn’t already been more than adequately powerful upon their first meeting. This mention of a relationship may have been taken the wrong way… weren’t they merely friends? She didn’t recall anything more. She must be referring to that. She could swear she remembered every person she had loved, and that memory altering spell hadn’t filled a void in her heart nor had one become apparent once again after the rest of the spell had been lifted from her mind.

She supposed Ley was more… beautiful as far as that went. Though she did probably prefer the one she had known. Maybe it was an attachment to things she knew from the past. Like when she was find of a city, and the next time she visited it had changed dramatically. That happened far too often.

She had been going to reply when Ley let out an… odd scream of sorts. Rasha’s hand instinctively moved for her sword. It seemed something was wrong with the transformation! Perhaps terribly. She didn’t want to kill a friend, but should the need arise…

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

rubbing her hands on her newly grown wings she gasped in a mix of surprise pain and pleasure "Hmm well this is new didn't expect to grow wings like that. pain for sure but there seems to be pleasantly pleasurable as well. my first form with wings." shivering she changes back to her younger form "ahh that feels much better. So how has your last few years been? Found that demon your after?"

[Rasha]

So it would seem Ley could easily shift betwixt one form and the next with ease. Or more rather could age herself in some way. Of course she assumed pain to be the main reason for the gasp. After all they had most probably pushed their way through the skin on her back. At least it was fast lest the girl scream for a while.

The important always came up eventually and there it was laid before her. She still couldn’t quite remember what Ley’s part had been in the hunting of the demon, but she was sure to have utilized the girl to the utmost. Having her assistance again would be a great Boon. One she wasn’t about to pass on. “It’s here… in one of the noble women attempting to court the princess.” She wasn’t one to balk at fessing up large points of information. She doubted Ley was possessed by the thing… were it even possible to do so to the girl. “I have not yet pin pointed which one. The great deal of them rather bogs me down. Not to mention the other duties I had to take on to get access to the palace, castle, and surrounding areas.” Rasha had to wonder how the girl managed to do so. Though she was sure it was slightly underhanded.

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

"Why did you have to work to gain access just teleported in." confused slightly about the prospect of having to work hard to gain access to anywhere on the earth. having heard the remark that she hadn't gained the sense of the demon yet she starts sniffing the air looking for a demonic scent. "Hmm good news and bad news I have managed to smell out all the demon's around the place bad news there is a lot of them."

[Rasha]

A smirk crossed Rasha’s lips. Of course Ley had been like that hadn’t she. She didn’t understand much about human culture even though she had lived so long. Of course it couldn’t help that the blasted stuff was always changing and shifting into something new everywhere you went. Next she knew shaking someone’s hand would be seen as saying you would commit ritual suicide with that person. Humans had done stranger…

She couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course there are a lot of demons here Ley, did you think they allow the opportunity to wed and bed a princess to easily fall through their grips. I’m sure most of the candidates have SOME link to demons or other worldly forces in some way. Not to mention the foul stench from the city.” Demons did have an odor you tended to pick up on. Some smelled sweet other pungently horrid. She had run into a siren once… horrid ordeal that was.

Some demons however could disguise even that given time and in some cases power. Their demon was horridly weak, and only really good at disguising itself and subverting minds to its will. All be it some would think that too was a powerful skill, and it was in its own right.

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

sniffing again she nods confirming Rasha's belief "Almost all the girls here do have something demonic somewhere or other in their backgrounds. Though there is a mix of dragons and other creatures tossed in as well. Even an alien who was led to believe that she was a demon now that I can pick up on it." grinning she looks back at Rasha. "Oh wanna see how my skills have developed in other area's?" clicking her fingers a boulder triple the size of Leyley appears. Wandering over she picks it up in one hand and grins then hits it with her other hand in various places leaving a stone hut. "Do I impress you Rasha?" secretly though she would never reveal this fact to the girl who stood before her she had started crushing on her ages back in the days when she was in the town with her. However she could never reveal this to Rasha due to the fact that she would even out-live her and she didn't want to have heartache nor did she yet know if Rasha was involved with somebody else.

[Rasha]

Aliens… strange, but she wouldn’t go into that topic with the girl. Best to leave things the way they were going, and that was closer to her true goal. (World conquest *evil laughter*). Hmm… The girl did impress her in a way, though… the question came to mind and… she really DID have to ask. “Firstly… why a hut? Secondly… how do you plan on removing the obstruction when you leave?” She had been going to say ‘we’, but leaving with the girl who didn’t have permission to be here presented a few… problems. At least as far as the guards went who were stationed outside.

Rasha closed the book she had been reading its contents not really worth reading in the first place she guessed. After all the best way to know a demon was to get close to it. Impossible for her in the current form. The second one would be easy, after all it had lured the demon to her more than once before much like the woman named Kari. Of course it carried tremendous dangers. Aside from the raping that she would un-doubtably receive from whatever the demon happened to be possessing at the time she could also be possessed herself… the only time, but it was more than an inconvenience.

Also needed noting… going into that form in THIS castle… very bad idea.

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

"Firstly I felt like making a hut I dunno why. Secondly I can simply do this." laying into the hut some more she crumbles it to dust in a manner of seconds. "There we go obstruction gone. Now there's just a big pile of dust."

grinning she pats her hands together content that a huge pile of dust wasn't an obstruction at all just something that could easily be pushed aside. "Sorry about my attitude as well time alone has changed my mind a little to the point where I am no longer familiar with social stuff. Although I don't think the guards will be a problem. Or at least they shouldn't be." clicking her fingers again she produces a letter with proof written that she was allowed to be here and signed by the princess.

"I think this would work well in my favor when I leave. Can I count on your companionship like I did in the past?"

[Rasha]

She… didn’t know why she wanted to make a giant bolder into a hut, well Ley had… always been a bit strange. Of course… she had never known her to be quite THAT strange. Then of course the bolder was gone, but… had she not mentioned it being an obstruction would Ley have removed it? A question that could only be answered with time travel an ability she sadly lacked. It wasn’t that unnatural Ley had been a bit off no matter the era. Which arose a very intriguing question. Was she the same way? Had she been able to adapt nicely? A quick glance at her clothes which were quite unique told her that some things no matter the time wouldn’t change. She didn’t have to alter everything about her and she liked the lace on her clothes.

Of course the Letter would be a forgery and Rasha knew it would. Ley’s magic had always been… diverse, though Rasha had never been able to figure it out in the least. She had met a woman recently who would probably try to dissect Ley should the chance arise… couldn’t remember the woman’s name, but that hat and pumpkin always made her stand out in Rasha’s mind… even given the massive influx of faces she had to remember recently. “Well so long as it won’t cause trouble there shouldn’t be any problems then.” Rasha said staring at the note then focusing back in on Ley in the dim light… “Hmmm…”

[Skye, Zeli Leyley]

"What is it?" having heard the Hmm in Rasha's voice had thrown her off a little and she looks around a bit before falling into the pile of dust. Surfacing from it she started coughing. "Urgh tiny rock dust in my throat." shaking she cleans herself back up and looks at Rasha again. "By the way the years have been really good to you Rash. Your looking great."
