 --------------- S o p h i a -------------- Sophia had been eager for the opportunity to receive another assignment from King Soliel, but she would have been lying if she said she was thrilled to be on an other reconnaissance mission. The Kirin had been reborn for nearly a year now and was feeling due for some action. She supposed she should have been grateful though, since it was "action" that had gotten her killed all those hundreds of years ago. To add, a quieter mission was more favorable since Edna would be joining of the party. Not that Edna couldn't hold her own, she was after all, one of the smartest most capable equine Sophia knew, but Sophia wouldn't be able to bare it if any harm came to her. Besides the King, she was the most important person and the only person she held so close to her heart.
Sophia located the yellow kirin (er horse now) in the small crowd without any effort. Her presence was as natural as seeking warmth of the sun. Sophia mused at the thought and silently prayed to Ignacio that their mission would be uneventful.
Silently she began scouting the number of strangers surrounding them. Their numbers were concerning. They were like vermin crawling out of every crevice. They made her skin crawl and mouth twitch.

"Can I tell you that in my eyes not even God would be good enough to command you?" 
He'd wanted to prove his worth to Soleil, to gain power and status, to strike fear into the hearts of the heretics in their land! But this?
This was absolutely humiliating.
The corner of his mouth curling into a low scowl, he brushed his loose mane out of his face. How was he supposed to have any dignity when he looked like-Like this?! Especially when he was around her. This was- This was not how he was supposed to look for her, for Hati. Keeping his tail carefully tucked between his legs, he tried his best to keep his head high. One, to try and hold onto the remaining shreds of his pride after being cursed to take on such a disgusting, weak form, and two, to try and keep his antlers out of anyone's reach, despite them being invisible.
To make matters worse, he was with a few Kirins he would very much rather not see him in this particular state. Soleil could have at least let them be unicorns, to retain some elements of their former, and better appearances! He didn't even have his armor to aid his appearance. Still, with a clenched jaw, he had mercifully been relatively silent, leaving his complaints and angry thoughts as just that, thoughts.
Soleil had to be testing him. He made no attempt to hide how much he prided his appearance. Why wouldn't he? He was a Kirin, a glorious Kirin, with gleaming antlers, shining scales, fierce teeth, all gifted to him by Ignacio himself! Soleil had to know how much this would irritate him, and that must be why she chose this form instead of a more tolerable unicorn. Unicorns had horns, they sometimes had gemstones, they were next closest thing to kirins, and he could tolerate that form for a short while.
This form was genuinely disgusting, and sent a shiver down his spine and left bile in the back of his throat. Blue gaze flashing to Sophia and the golden kirin, he scowled again, averting his gaze, his ears pinned flat. Instead his gaze moved to Hati. Those other two were flaunting their relationship... Ugh... And here he was...Here she was, and... Exhaling heavily, he tried to distract himself by observing the equines around them. The filthy, terrible, disgusting heretics...
...That he now looked like! How could he try to distract himself from his current state when everywhere he looked he was reminded of it?! |

 Hati;Aodh | Hoplite
Watch them burnObservation was a top skill of Hati's it was what she trained all of her previous life for. Waiting for the right moment to send an arrow that would have the greatest impact. Though admittedly she was struggling with the task of observing that day.
Soleil had sent them to scout various details about the pompous city of 'Bloom'.
It was pleasantly fragrant, a heady smell of wine thick in the air, but the sight was truly horrific. So many lesser equines strolling around going about their day, not knowing the greatness that was in their presence.
As that thought circulated, Hati had to stop herself from both crying and laughing hysterically in one singular moment. In order to blend in with the inhabitants of Bloom, Soleil had forced them all to wear special amulets, an amulet that glamoured their most spectacular features. No great splashes of colour, just plain boring common equine. Although the thought alone disgusted Hati, they did all looked hilarious, like naked mole rats. It certainly made seeing him for the first time since being resurrected easier. Skoll. She could feel his eyes burning into her but she hadn't brought herself to look at him, she couldn't just yet, especially looking like that.
Once more she tried to focus on the job at hand walking in the front of the group. They had heard rumours that there was an evacuation attempt, but noting the calm atmosphere, it didn't seem like that was taken seriously. Hati scoffed, the imbeciles. They had no idea what they were up against.

 Raksha;Aodh | Hoplite
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
With every step deeper into the heart of the city the number of citizens grew dramatically. And this was only one town, one of them. The lesser breeds had spread like a plague over the lands while the numbers of her own kin was still alarmingly small. Newcomers arrived in Hrag-Ba'al each day, but it wasn't nearly enough to reclaim their homeland yet. A premature attack could lead them to extinction once more. So instead of taking what was rightfully theirs, they had to hide. It was disgraceful to conceal her scales and antlers, her true nature, but unfortunately the only way to get the well needed information about their enemies. Despite that she couldn't help but also feel defiantly amused about the situation. They could walk amongst them, like wolfs among sheep. The modern Aodhian couldn't even see through a simple concealment charm.
How different things would be if the dragons still roamed the sky, like they did back then. Only a few hoplites and their wyverns would be enough to take everything back. Their forced hide-and-seek would end immediately. On their last mission Rikke had told her to have faith, and that the wyverns would return soon. Raksha released a deep breath. She wasn't good at being patient. Soon wasn't quick enough.
The mare took another look around and could only shake her head in disbelief. "It's unbelievable. They had all these years to develop, and this is what they made out of it" she murmured to her cousin, Amaranthe, and pointed at the buildings around her. The construction was backwardly, and their sense for aesthetics absurd.

Amaranthe | Hoplite
Knowing that her scales and antlers were still firmly attached to her body, but not seeing them was disconcerting. Even worse was turning to see her rear end was sprouting a useless looking tail. Seriously, Argus' children were a naked, silly looking lot. Perhaps it was just because she felt so... Exposed, that she was taking out her embarrassment on the common horse, but still, the bunch of them really could at least have... Something adorning their bodies. All in all, Amaranthe felt she looked odd and still out of place without her kirin features. But still.... Better looking than Skoll by a mile. The Hoplite snickered to herself delighted in the obvious torment that was happening in Skoll's expression.
"Having fun there, chicken wing?" Amaranthe couldn't help herself as she nudged Skoll's shoulder. Provoking the asshole while they were on a mission was maybe not the best idea, but it kept her from thinking about the precarious situation they now found themselves in. While they were all, except maybe Skoll, skilled fighters, there was a veritable hoard surrounding them, and only a glamor charm stood between them and fight. Amaranthe knew she could handle herself in a fight, but even the more well trained would have a hard time against so many foes. The hoplite longed for the presence of Aztec by her side, knowing the massive bird would have her back should it come down to a fight, but he simply would've drawn too much attention on his own.
Her cousins' voice whispered through the air, and Amaranthe turned to Raksha, before looking at the architecture surrounding them.
"You're really surprised this is all they could come up with? They aren't like us, and they obviously don't have nearly the grand vision we do. I'm sure it wouldn't even be half this well developed if they hadn't depended on the work of their slaves." Walking through the streets, you could obviously see who the enslaved were. Bitted, thin, and devoid of any spark for life. Of their own species, and still they shackled them. These new age Aodhians were a wretched lot.

Edna
my mother said I'm too romanticEdna could remember a time when the city of horses rose above the land in crystalline spires and the magic sang through the streets. Though a far cry from the magnificence of Valore - there were no words to compare the glittering home in her memories - it had nonetheless been something to admire, a metropolis equal parts subtle presentation and ostentatious spectacle.
By comparison, Bloom was a hovel masquerading as innovation. She could taste their pride between her teeth, worse than sour milk.
She wore the skin of her enemy but did not feel different. The weight of her antlers remained a steady presence, the gilded crown bestowed by centuries of bloodline. Certainly it was surreal to step upon the earth and feel the dirt between her toes but see no even split, but Edna had seen far more curious dreams. The princess - a title of identification and expectation, never to be wielded as a weapon of prestige against her fellows as the Aodhians would so gladly capitalized - bowed her head to Sophia, eagerly anticipating the contact of her muzzle against the mare's warm, solid shoulder. Love was a devouring thing, transcending the limitations imposed by a god; even lost and unremembering, Edna's dreams had bled in shades of violet.
She overheard - eavesdropped, if one wished to call it what it was - the comment Raksha passed to her kin. "I was thinking the same thing." She admitted quietly, gaze sliding to Amaranthe, "Though we should be careful what we let them overhear, if we speak at all. Our appearances are masked, but not our voices."
Edna raised her head to regarding the bustling city with a frown. "... If we are questioned on our accents, perhaps we should tell them we hail from Breim?"

Hati;Aodh | Hoplite
Watch them burn Hati contemplated what her comrades were saying. Personally she wasn't surprised that the best the simple equines could come with was what surrounded them. Although admittedly she did enjoy the smell. Not that she would admit that to the others.
Amaranthe's words did have her bursting out in a obnoxious laugh that could not be contained. Seeing and hearing the once overly 'brave' Skoll being referred to as a 'chicken wing' was more than Hati could handle. In their life before no one would bother antagonising Skoll (particularly while around Hati) for the simple reason of not wanting to have a pain in the ass glaring at you, attempting to stab you or stealing your stuff with a side of harassment for a month afterwards. Yet here they were, on order of their King glamoured as basic equine and Amaranthe was completely right, Skoll did look exactly like a large chicken wing.
Clearing her throat, Hati hid her embarrassment by nodding along to what Edna was saying. "Particularly those of us who have been in recent conflict and been seen." Hati remarked pointedly looking back at Amaranthe and Skoll. "Breim could work, particularly looking like children of Argus, but is it a likely story that a group would be travelling around with word of Kirin hostilities on the rise?" Looking at Raksha she added, "Is it true that Breim still fears our kind from events so long ago?" She asked the purple Kirin, knowing she had the unfortunate luck of being resurrected within the caves. Hati herself had only heard rumours of how the other herds had changed and she found herself curious.
While her curiosity wandered, she began mentally noting the details Soleil wanted them to observe. Ears swivelling, Hati was quite surprised at the number of equines that remained in the city, despite the warnings they had been given. Looking beyond the equines, Hati noted the use of the large trees integrating with the buildings all over the city. "Everything is remarkably flammable here." She commented absentmindedly aloud.

Raksha;Aodh | Hoplite
Hail to the king, hail to the one

The large kirin couldn't suppress a sudden laughter in the form of a a deep rumble in her throat when her cousin commented the look of Skóll. It probably would have been better to stop their little spat, but Amaranthe's description was just too accurate - the hoplite appeared pretty naked.
Besides, it wouldn't do them any harm to chat a little Instead it would propably caught less attention than a group of grim and silent strangers marching through town.
Edna on the other hand was also right with her concerns.
"We might get away with that story princess, the Breimians accent is a little closer to ours, at least compared to the one of the Aodhians." she replied after a while and nodded into Hati's direction. "It is true. In my experiences Breim is ,overall, a rather fearful nation. They have lived underground for too long, too far away from the sun. It would indeed be rather unlikely that a group of them would come here, but then again I doubt that the common citizen here knows too much about the Arcane herd. "
Grimly she reminisce about her time in Breim. It was completely abstruse to her how the herd could live that way. Always scared, never seeing any daylight and with their minds so deeply rooted in a time that was long gone. While other herds had always looked ahead, Breim seemed to have stood still.
And Argus...oh well the god of arcane definitely was still very mad. They had tried to cause a guilty conscience in her kin with their visions, but that try failed miserably. She felt no regret for what she had done in the war.
Hati's comment finally cut off her thoughts and brought her back to here and know. "They should have known better. Their ignorance will be their dowfall" she replied after they were out of earshot of the equines that had just passed them.

"Can I tell you that in my eyes not even God would be good enough to command you?"
She still wouldn’t spare him a single glance. What reason did she have for choosing to ignore him like this? Scowling to himself, one tattered ear flicked to one of the other hoplites speaking. She wasn’t wrong, as much as it pained him to admit it. They had done nothing impressive with all those years of existence after their lands were destroyed and they were supposedly wiped out... It gave them all the more reason to smother them all out, and rebuild anew, to show how things should be done-
Stumbling lightly from the shove, Skoll’s gaze flashed to Amaranthe, baring his teeth on reflex. Chicken wing? How dare she- Snorting, his face turned into a tight lipped, firm frown. No. Ignore it. As much as he wished to go and sink his teeth into her throat, this was not the time. He wanted to gain power, to gain status, and he could only do that through proving his worth. He would not let such a pitiful, useless excuse of a kirin who dared to try and expose them by all speaking so openly, even if it was with hushed words, set him off.
He just listened idly, gaze flickering between the other kirins, finally catching on Hati’s gaze. She finally spared him a glance, and it was only to critize him. Had she gotten a screw knocked loose upon her reawakening?! Snorting, he rolled his eyes. If he had his antlers, perhaps, but not now, regrettably. “And someone please tell me why we’re simply sightseeing instead of perhaps using that little architectural design trait to cause a bit of a ‘party’? Couldn’t we do both?” Skoll asked, a note of annoyance in his tone, but still trying to keep himself calm and relaxed enough to seem like a common equine. He was fairly sure that his light manipulation could set a few things on fire here and there if needed...
It would make things far more interesting as well, seeing the little rats scurrying away from the flames and destruction if they happened to perhaps set a few sparks here and there. |

--------------- S o p h i a -------------- Sophia desperately tried to hold in a snort at Amaranthe's quip at Skoll's appearance. All those years between her birth and the present had done nothing to mature her. She was, after all, still a seventeen year old and to Am's credit, Skoll's complexion really did resemble a naked chicken. His appearance certainly suffered the worst of the lot under the glamour spell. She would have felt bad for him, but empathy was never really Sophia's thing.
Walking down the stone path, Sophia listened in silence to the conversation between the two giants among them, Raksha and Amaranthe, quietly agreeing that this city was unimpressive. Seems their enemy had achieved little besides copulation.
Edna's warm breath on her invisible scales sent a momentary dizzy spell to Sophia's head. She looked to her as she addressed what the others had said, eyes swollen with pride and with love. 'Edna's so smart.' she thought. There was a time when Sophia wanted nothing more but to be her. Jealousy was an ugly thing, even uglier than this city, and it could of cost her everything. Thank Ignacio she got over herself, because being with Edna was the best thing to happen to her.
Breimians, however, were among the worst. Sophia shivered at the mention of those sunless demons who had hunted her and Edna and who's ancestors had caused their death. She did not share her distaste for being compared to them, though. She knew it was the best idea they got. Edna thought of it after all.
The mission seemed to be going well. No one had tried to engage with them or ask them questions. Sophia was happy, but Skoll wasn't.
“And someone please tell me why we’re simply sightseeing instead of perhaps using that little architectural design trait to cause a bit of a ‘party’? Couldn’t we do both?"
Sophia shot him a glare, "Because a party would cause a scene and that's the exact opposite of what we want to accomplish here." She marched on with a little more purpose, "Getting some directions wouldn't be terrible though, these roads make little sense."

Amaranthe | Hoplite
Nodding along to Edna's and Hati's words, Amaranthe couldn't personally account for the Breimian accent, nor their relationship with this new Aodh herd. However, both Raksha and Sophia, who both resided with the underground herd, seemed to think it was a good enough idea, so she figured it wouldn't be too hard to get away with it. Besides, it wasn't like they were going to go out of their way to interact with these insipid Aodhians.
When Skoll spoke up, Amaranthe felt like if she rolled her eyes any harder, they'd fly free from her skull. Looking around surreptitiously, she made sure there wasn't anyone else in close hearing range.
"Seriously? We're here on a covert mission requiring finesse, literally in disguise, and you want to ruin that by letting the whole town know we're their enemy? Would you prefer to do something even more ostentatious while you're at it? I knew you were an imbecile, but really, that's just sad." Shaking her head, she looked down towards Sophia, giving the mare a smile.
"That's probably a good idea. I really don't feel like getting lost in the middle of this quaint little town of theirs. We should also make a map if we can, that way we have blue prints of the layout as well as vital areas to strike later."

Hati;Aodh | Hoplite
Watch them burn Hati looked gratefully in Raksha's way, the group had a relatively rough but decent overview of Hireath in the present. Raksha, Sophia and Edna spending time in the tunnels, Amaranthe in the desert and Skoll spent time in the in the mountains, which did seem to have chilled him out a little. Hati herself had spent time in the unaligned wilds. Learning more about flora and fauna than any current herd traditions, which she personally was fine with.
"Breimian travellers will work just fine then." She noted. Glad to have one aspect of their story straight. She was thankful for Amaranthe putting Skoll and his need of destruction straight, but she did understand where he was coming from. She found her own skin crawling any time someone other than a kirin came close to touching her.
However hearing his whining, Hati couldn't stop herself from looking back and smiling at Skoll. There would forever be apart her heart that would be confused about the scarred kirin, even in this naked state. Knowing him the way she did, she knew how difficult it was for Skoll to keep himself in line. Especially with the constant taunting he was receiving. Looking him dead in the eyes she gave a waggle of her eyebrows, "Depending on how this whole mission goes, perhaps we could let one little spark go astray." She said with a shrug. Keeping her voice in check as others passed them by. "Just on our way out. We'll remain completely inconspicuous." She said with an innocent glint to her tone.
When Sophia voiced her idea to ask for directions, Hati nodded along. This place was pretty large and confusing, she didn't doubt many others asked for assistance around town. "Someone else is going to have to do it. I'm a terrible actor." She said to the group with a laugh. Hati's skills lay in combat and shooting deadly arrows from afar. Not up close and personal chats with equines she despised.

The mare could only shake her head over the squabblers. If Skóll was foolish enough to jeopardize their whole mission they would need to report that behavior later.
"The kings orders were clear. We are not going to cause any disturbances here." she growled consent to what Amaranthe and Sophia had already said and darted a frustrated glance at Hati. Did she really had to fire that idea?
"On our way out or not, it's too dangerous. Maybe it goes smoothly, but it'll probably not. It needs only one random observer to get the Chevaliers on us and we have a long way home. I'd rather not spend it fleeing."
Admittedly they were partly right, something had to happen soon. So far their mission had been kinda unsuccessful.
"Maybe we could ask someone where the next location plan is. Or maybe we manage to find a store that sells maps. I doubt that we manage to explore and map the whole city on our own in time."
Concerning the question of who should play the confused tourist in need of some guidance, she had two clear favorites for the job.
Sophia and Edna.
They could appear far more innocent than the rest of the group, if they wanted. Also, who could deny help to a young enamored couple?
"Prince Edna, Sophia, would you mind asking for the way? Or does someone else want to do it?" she asked and looked at everyone in their little group.

"Can I tell you that in my eyes not even God would be good enough to command you?"
Mouth closing sharply into a tight lipped line, Skoll shot Sophia a sharp stare out of the corner of his eye. If they were careful, no one would have noticed. Especially if they decided to blend into the panic that came after. Amaranthe's voice just made him more annoyed, and he set his gaze forward, away from the other kirins. Ignore them... A retort was on his tongue, wanting to snap, or even physically lunge at Amaranthe. He was so far beyond fed up with her. He wanted to see her bleeding at his feet.
Meeting Hati's gaze, not returning the smile, his ears just twitched ever so slightly. Well. She at least was on his side. He just gave a small huff and a nod at the least, doubting the others would actually agree and let her do it. Soldier types were always so stuck up... Hati was the only one who was tolerable... He was reconsidering his choice to come and aid in the warfront. Maybe he was better acting independently in the mountain region, striking the fear of Kirins into the unsuspecting mountain horses.
They were spreading the knowledge and glory of Kirins in Eithne, but elsewhere? They were not looking elsewhere... Yet another voice was chiming in to say the idea of causing a spark was bad, and he grit his teeth in his mouth, tail flicking. Still, he kept quiet, most likely from the gritted teeth that were causing his jaw to become sore from the force he put.
His gaze only flicked to Raksha for a moment, rolling his eyes and refusing to answer. He'd want to do it. If these uptight assholes would let him? That was another question. Even if Hati vouched for him, he doubted they'd allow it. The idea of simply going and wandering off on his own was tempting, even if it was merely to get space from them, not even to cause chaos or problems.
Because being quiet? That wouldn't do anything. Amaranthe would still try to push and annoy him, even if he was trying to behave. Leaving would keep her off his back, provided they were the uptight soldiers he pegged them for, wanting to "stick to the mission", and all that lovely bullshit... That wouldn't assist his case of attempting to behave, but it would certainly make him happy, if it didn't make them happy... That would almost be a bonus if it made them get pissed off...

--------------- S o p h i a -------------- Sophia inwardly cringed at the thought of having to speak to anyone, let alone one of these cretins, but who was she to deny the Raksha? It was true, Sophia had a minor case of hero worship when it came to the older kirin. Her and Cyrill had a bond Sophia had hoped to one day achieve with her dragon, but that would never happen now. The dragons were gone and Sophia briefly wondered if Raksha's lightning had been sealed away like her own.
"I'll see if I can try something..." She looked over to Edna and pushed back a smile as an idea came to mind.
"Could you come with me?" She always felt she had to ask, even though Edna was already ready to follow, skeptical as she was.
Together, they broke away from the group and made their way into a promising looking shop. A doorbell rang as they stepped through entrance. Sophia twitched.
"Ehem." Sophia cleared her throat, zeroing in on the smiling attendant behind the store counter.
"Can I help you two?" The equine sounded so accommodating and flowery, Sophia wanted to gag but she forced a smile instead. For the mission.
"Uhm yes, perhaps... My wife and I just got married and were looking to go on holiday but we've gotten terribly lost." Sophia could feel Edna dying inside at her ridiculous charade.
Sophia on the other hand was actually having a bit of fun with her married alter ego.
"You see, we come from Brahm-" Edna nudged her shoulder urgently, "-Breim-" Sophia caught herself. "and have no idea where we are."
"Aren't you a bit young to tie the knot?" The attendant inquired, staring at the both of them.
"No." Sophia said plainly and offended, all traces of her cheerful persona gone.
"Listen." Edna interjected. "Do you have a map? You'd really be helping us out."
"As a matter of fact I do..."
Sophia smiled at Edna as the other equine rummaged through a couple drawers. Edna rolled her eyes.
"...Here we are! A whole map of our fine Aodh! Though if you ask me, you're better staying right here in Bloom. We've got lots of romantic activities for the both of you. Here, on the house, a gift for the new couple. Congratulations!"
Edna:
---
The two returned to the group triumphant.
"We got a map."

Amaranthe | Hoplite
Between all of them, well almost all of them, Hati had both shot him down, and gave him ideas, Amaranthe was happy to see that they had shut Skoll up. His silence was the most beautiful sound she was sure she'd ever hear. If only he'd disappear, Amaranthe was trying to decide if that'd make this dinky town bearable. It probably would. They could after all, build the town up better, once they had claimed it for their own.
Looking over to her cousin, Amaranthe nodded along. Perhaps they wouldn't quite be able to fully map the town out, but honestly she really hadn't even considered asking the Aodhians for their help in their own eventual demise. True, they wouldn't know, what with their disguises, but still, she wanted to remain on the smart and safe side.
Edna and Sophia had agreed to go and procure a map, and Amaranthe wished the young couple the best of luck. While they were fairly inconspicuous, their disguise was not completely fool proof. However, her worries remained unfounded as a few short minutes later the pair reemerged from one of the shops, with what appeared to be a map solidly in their teke. Pride welled in her for the two, and as they reconvened, Amaranthe gave Sophia a friendly nudge [though with how large she was, it would likely make Sophia stumble if not prepared] and winked at her.
"Look at you two, a dream team for espionage." she smiled warmly at the two as she whispered, and looked at the others. "Shall we explore further than? We've already gathered that they don't seem to have thought of fireproofing their buildings, we should see if there are any other weak points to strike. It'll be a piece of cake at this rate."

Hati;Aodh | Hoplite
Watch them burn Hati had to chuckle a little as grievances were brought up for her enabling Skoll's destructive desires. As Raksha voiced her disapproval, Hati countered back, "I'm not sure I agree with that, Raksha. I think we could all use some exercise to really feel alive after this drab mission." She said with a twinkle in her eye.
She did nod along with her idea about a store with a map however. A town this obscure had to have everything well documented to make sure everyone saw absolutely everything. She particularly liked her nomination of Sophia and Edna. Somehow with their disguises in place, those two still looked somewhat pleasing and Hati had a feeling the Aodhians would be suckers for their love.
Apparently they were right, Hati was busy looking at the details surrounding them when the two lovebirds returned with map in hand. "Bloody fantastic." She nodded in Am's direction with suggestion of exploring further. "Let's get the visual details taken in, then we can get the blazing fires out of here. I would like to walk freely once more." She added with a groan. Shaking her head and accidentally knocking Skoll's antlers with her own. Looking around wide-eyed, Hati hoped that no one noticed the minor exchange. Although now they had the map, Hati found herself caring a little less.
