[Not Erebus, she hopes. She's still not ready to face him. Though Mavis did say from "a friend's world," so it's likely someone else. Even now, she's already feeling the urge to do something, to make a difference if some villain starts trouble.]
Mmm. Put simply, it's a man who doesn't like law and order and who'd like to be free to use his magic to create panic and mayhem. [A stereotypical villain, really.]
Hmm. [He acknowledges her first point. He had sort of acknowledged that Winter's resignation was for the best in all cases, even if he was initially disgusted. He had wondered how hard she was really trying, but with this new revelation, there was no time limit to finding the Royal Family. It's an odd feeling.] I will find them.
[He tilts his head at the other news. Alice's departure is something he hasn't heard of either.] What sort of energy source did the dolls use before?
[Sounds somewhat similar to Erebus's goals, and yet different. So far Erebus had only mentioned "shrouding the world in darkness," which, in her mind, meant eliminating all life. She can't understand what he hopes to gain if he succeeds.]
Okay, I'll be there soon...
[And then she will fly over to the Fairy Tail guild.]
By the time you read this, I would likely already be at the dream docks. In the recent months, I find myself overwhelmed by feelings I cannot explain. Feelings for someone I think you may know. It's my hope that when I return, I will be older and wiser; enough so that I can understand what these feelings are and how I should channel them.
It is also my hope that when I return, I will be a woman who has taken back everything she has lost. My home, my life, everything. It's my hope to see it all restored.
Regardless of how much I may change as I confront my destiny through the dream docks, I want you to know you are still my fairy sister.
I hope you're back from the dream docks by now. Though, I know from personal experience that times flows weirdly when you go there.
I don't know if I should expect not to recognize you next time I see you. I know my heart will know it's you, no matter how much you might have changed. And yes, you'll always have your fairy sister to come back to, for as long as I'm here.
I sincerely hope your journey back to your world will provide you with the answers you seek. Please let me know when you're back. Or better yet, come visit me at Fairy Haven.
How about next week? Whenever it more convenient for you. You know I'm always happy to see you.
Glad you're back.
[[OOC: I don't mind it either way. We can log it here or on the comm, so long you don't mind backdating in to before the event started (on October 15thish or something?). Here might be easier. And sorry I didn't get back to you on this earlier, RL stole me away again.^^;]]
[[OOC: And I thought my job was demanding. But anyways, okay, let's make it here then. :) ]]
Okay. I will see you next week.
[And a week later, it was time. On the 15th, Anastasia makes her way to Fairy Haven in Fayren. She gives her fairy sister a text announcing her arrival and waits outside.
When Mavis comes, she will find not a young girl, but a young woman. Her trip to the dream docks resulted in Anastasia becoming a teenager appearing to be around the age of 15.]
[The main doors of Fairy Haven seem to burst open as Mavis comes out, barefoot and running, to welcome back her little sister.]
Ana!
[As she gets closer, Mavis slows down and almost comes to an halt.] ...Ana?
[The young woman standing there, waiting for her definitely is Ana. Yes, she also looks different. Older.
Now it feels like both girls are the same age. Mavis might even look like the younger of the two.]
Wow. I had no idea the dream docks could do this.
[She still closes the distance and pulls her 'little sister' into a hug.] It's good to see you too, Ana. Though, I'm not sure if I should call you 'little sister' anymore. ...You're still less than a hundred years old, aren't you?
[Anastasia smiles brightly and hugs Mavis back when she comes into optimum hugging range.]
Yes, it's me. And I'm still less than one-hundred years old. I'm... fifteen, I think? Or eighteen? I don't really know anymore.
[She gasps when she remembers something. She leaves the hug.]
Oh, being a magic guild leader, I inherited something I know you will love.
[She reaches behind her and pulls a magical grimoire from a book sling and shows it to Mavis. It looks like an ancient tome, kept with the greatest and most adoring of care. The illegible golden font on the cover seemingly glows a very faint light.]
This is the Tyrinolim, a sacred treasure of my kingdom. Passed down for generations of Nivian royalty since quite possibly from well before the founding of the country, it has finally come down to me.

Should I head over there now?

Date: 2018-09-11 04:14 pm (UTC)Sure. Floette and I will be expecting you.

Date: 2018-09-22 07:12 am (UTC)Mavis? It's Myrrh.
The One calling himself a God wants dominion over Fayren if he defeats his challengers.
If it's all right, I want to defend Fayren from him as well should he win.
[Video] Sorry for the late reply, I was away for the weekend
Date: 2018-09-24 08:20 am (UTC)I accept your offer. Fayren needs all the protectors it can get.
[A pause, and a very serious look.] But I don't intend on letting him win.
Re: [Video] *gives you a vacation*
Date: 2018-09-24 08:24 am (UTC)[There's a bluish glow coming from below Myrrh. She has her Dragonstone in her hands.]
[Video] *gladly takes it*
Date: 2018-09-24 08:40 am (UTC)Have you ever fought a creature like that wolf before?
Re: [Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 08:44 am (UTC)[Those are similar, right?]
[Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 08:47 am (UTC)What kind of magic or spells did you use back then?
Re: [Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 08:56 am (UTC)Dragon breath, mostly. I breathe a great fire...
[Of course, she can claw, bite, and throw her tail around also.]
[Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 10:54 am (UTC)Fire. Okay. [She ponders this a moment.] Is there one element or several that you are weak against?
Re: [Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 11:01 am (UTC)Though I suppose sacred weapons like Siegmund or Sieglinde would more easily harm dragons, if not just monsters like necrodragons or the Demon King.
[Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 11:08 am (UTC)Which weapons do you have here, then?
Re: [Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 11:20 am (UTC)[Which is why she is very protective of it.]
[Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 03:44 pm (UTC)Re: [Video]
Date: 2018-09-24 04:00 pm (UTC)It's actually very small.
[She holds it up for the camera. It's big enough to need two hands. It's probably small in a dragon's perspective.]
When I use it, it... Mmm... It "returns" to me. ... You will need to see how I do it to understand... I'm sorry.
