sometimes you can't make it
Who: Alexstrasza, Krasus/Korialstrasz, and the Redsworn
What: Successful retreat into the Ruby Sanctum
Where: Ruby Sanctum
When: After a long, grueling battle near the borders of Suramar
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed
[The Ruby Sanctum is a flurry of activity. This becomes clear within two seconds of stepping through the portal. The wounded are guided over to a grassy clearing surrounded by saplings and adolescent trees, bade to lay down and receive healing from other dragonkin. Some of the trees are years old, while a few look to have shot up recently. If you watch, vines engulf one fallen warrior; the body sinks into the ground, and a tiny sapling appears in its place.
Despite the war going on outside, the sanctum is less of a cavern and more like a self-contained dimension. Ample sunlight drifts down through scarlet leaves, which are occasionally home to the crimson scales of a whelpling. There is life everywhere: insects on twigs, birds chirping overhead, flowers at your feet. Dragon eggs lay nestled in the nooks and crannies offered by the tranquil forest. There is a decently-sized spring filled with fresh, pure water, as well as some small rocky outcroppings to sleep in. It's warm and comfortable enough to rest out in the open, too.
The cloaked and ever-mysterious Krasus stands watching the dispersing redsworn, his back against the massive oak in the center of the sanctum.
Occasionally, one may glimpse a beautiful red-haired woman with copper skin winding through the copse.]

There is no need for that. What is done is done, what we do now and in the future will shape the generations to come.
[ Her voice cracks a bit at the last part, as if the thought of more children was a painful concern. ]
My apologies, we should discuss the things that need to be discussed for now. Have you everything you need?
no subject
Uh...right. That's one way to look at it.
[Even if he can tell it hurts her to think about. He feels a little bit bad, enough that he'll go with the subject change.]
Don't worry about it. I guess I got everything...except, is it normal for new arrivals to lose their powers?
no subject
The process is new to our kind, so determining what is normal and what isn't will take some time. It does us no good for you to arrive unable to fight.

[And wait, what? Zelos is definitely taken back by that, because he was not expecting an answer that could be summed up with a "i dunno"]
Ahahaa...really...
Well, if that's the case- then you might wanna write me off as a failed trial run and send me back. Cause whatever process you did, it did take away any powers that'd be handy- so I imagine I won't do much good at all!
