but there never seems to be enough time

Who: Nozdormu, Lanadormi, and the Bronzesworn
What: Successful retreat into the Bronze Sanctum
Where: Bronze Sanctum
When: After a long, grueling battle near the borders of Suramar
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

[While normally the Bronze Sanctum is lit up for those who reside within it, today there's a gentle breeze that blows softly throughout it. Unusually refreshing for those who may need it while the sands themselves seem to blow away from the injured.

The wounded (dragons and anyone else who may need it) are near ruins where foliage flickers in and out as if it's there, then not there the next second. An illusion or something else? The hourglass nearby seems to tick by slower and slower. Should anyone approach, they just might feel as if every part of their body has slowed down immensely, yet the few designated healers don't seem to be affected in the slightest.

Lanadormi herself seems to be doing everything at once. One second she may be giving instructions and the next she's at the other side of the sanctum tending to another matter. Whatever it is she's doing, it appears the normal law of time doesn't apply to her.

Near the lake is a man who seems disinterested in the current events, focused intently on his reflection in the water instead.]

[She sniffs irritably, but nods in acceptance. She's been there.]

I'm hardly one of the younger races, dragon. But very well. Some shelter, even if it's underground, is better than this. If there's work that needs doing for a proper place, provide materials and I'll make do.

[And she closes her eyes.]

And I don't suppose you can tell me anything about managing this power, can you? It's unfamiliar to me, but you clearly know more than I do.

Perhaps, but you present yourself as a human and so you will be mistaken for one. If there is a building in particular you would like to see made, draw up a plan. I think that would be the most beneficial, as I am no mind-reader.

[She pauses again, looking at Saori-- or rather, through her.]

... Yes, it seems you have been chosen by something called the Light. It is an essential part of the universe-- life, benevolent and powerful. Believe in it, believe in yourself, and it shall respond.
windandrain: (Threatening)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Saori nods, fully intending to do so when she...finds some paper.

What she's told next, though, gets a blink.]


The Light. Then, why did shadows come when I got angry on the battlefield? Does the word mean something different in this land?

[She doesn't sounds terribly worried about it, just curious.]

Light, too, has its opposite. One is used to heal, and the other is used to drain the life of others. They are two halves of the same coin, and not at all related to the fel magic the demons employ.
windandrain: (Surely you jest)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Light...and Shadow? [There's a question there, but it adds up. Balance in all things.]

And I'm able to use both? Do you know anything about this power, yourself? I...used some of it on reflex, but I don't know how I did what I did.
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I believe that is the term. Unfortunately, I have no personal experience with it. My powers are much more related to the arcane-- being made of it myself.

[A gentle smile.]

I am willing to learn along with you. The basic principles of all magic are similar.
windandrain: (Pleasant)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles at the offer though.]

Perhaps where you're from. But if that's the same here, I'd appreciate it.

What do I call you?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] It is the task I have been given.

My name is Lanadormi. And you?
windandrain: (Neutral Words)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
You can call Saori.

[She inclines her head in a slight nod.]

You said something earlier about Bronze dragons. What does that mean?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, aside from our color... [She gestures to one of the many bronze-colored dragons flitting about.] We, in particular, have been charged with protecting the flow of time.
windandrain: (Boooooring)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, the color I'd guess. [She laughs lightly.]

Time? Does this Legion of yours have the capability to alter the past, then?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
If we fail, it is certainly possible. It is partly our work that keeps your world from being destroyed.
windandrain: (Dark Rage)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
And which world is that? My home, or the one I came from?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... The Legion will leave no world untouched. They have already begun invading the one you resided in, but your home will surely follow.
windandrain: (Careful...)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes flicker for a moment, growing distant as she thinks about those creatures attacking Luceti. Yuuna, Helios, and all the rest were trapped there, and that was reason enough to worry. The Malnosso wouldn't stand for it, but they'd never seemed all that capable in the first place. It would be trouble, for certain.

But her home? Her eyes come back into focus at that.]


They'll find my home difficult to deal with, then. My family will break them.

[In other words, no cause for worry.]

How did you bring us here, and why only the four of us?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No one can stand against the Legion. Dragons are the most ancient and blessed creatures of this world, yet we have lost so many...

[She sighs, but goes on.]

I cannot tell you the specifics, you understand. I would have asked for more if possible.
windandrain: (Grave Expression)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-29 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She wouldn't accept that, knowing how ill-informed this dragon was, but it wouldn't be right to snap when they'd lost kin. Expression solemn, Saori shakes her head slightly.]

Forgive me, but I'm afraid I'll have to disagree. My family created our world, including it's dragons. But that's of little consolation for you here, I know. I am sorry for your loss.

[Surprisingly, she means it.]

Will you try again? Or is your ritual usable only once?

mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-29 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Worry not, we will have our retribution.

[If it was meant to pass, anyway.]

We will try again, when our energy is recovered.
windandrain: (Thoughts)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-30 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Her expression turns suddenly serious.]

Do you have the ability to select who you pull through?
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-30 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]
windandrain: (Eyes Forward)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-30 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
A pity. There are people I'd prefer not have the chance at being involved with this.

[People who'd be better off at home, safe in bed.]

Is there anything I, or we, can do to help you with that?
Edited 2014-03-30 07:13 (UTC)
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[personal profile] mortalforged 2014-03-30 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Thank you for the offer, however.

[She smiles, and the corners of her eyes crinkle.]

I will see about making our sanctum more hospitable for you. Is there anything else?
windandrain: (Derpy Smile)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-30 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, one other thing.

[She'll shrug her shoulders and smile gratefully.]

Where can I find something to eat? It feels like weeks since I had anything.
mortalforged: (LANADORMI)

[Lana gestures toward a cave nearby, halfway in the sand. There are pillars strewn about that can be used for seating.]

Our hunters have procured some of the local wildlife.

[It's raw. Sorry.]
windandrain: (Chinstroke)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-03-30 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raw is no problem.]

Thank you for that. [She nods curtly.] And for the answers.
