DEIMOS
And in your darkest hour,
I hold secrets flame
A steady breath resided within his chest; even if he couldn’t quite feel it reaching the tips of his fingers, the depths of his palms. They stretched and flexed as he walked closer and closer to the shrine, a slow, meticulous stride as he processed a change of positions, an alteration in schisms, the depth of betrayal, and what it all meant in the end.
Safety for Halo. For people he’d vowed to protect. For promises and convictions he’d made. At the very least he’d been capable of upholding these. He bowed his head at the altar, another deep inhale walling and unfurling, before extending his offerings in another gilded inclination of incantations and enchantments: strings of lights, of stars, meant to convey the sky, the galaxies, the constellations, curling and contorting on a necklace, before hanging it on one of the mantle pieces. For mercy, for forgiveness, for the clemency he'd enacted upon. The Sword stepped back, tilting his head, studying the room around him before extending his voice into the void. “Safrin, the Old Gods have Halo now.” Which she would’ve seen, would’ve known – the task complete. -- Due to the latest KQ takeover, Deimos has helped Halo’s leadership side with the Old Gods: {KQ} all the triumph overhead, disaster underneath Task given here: allowed to reach master of nothing place; of recoil and grace |

Safrin
Light gathers and pulses softly as if all the air and light in the room has just taken one big breath and slowly exhaled it. In a whisper she is there, adorned by starlight and sweetness. Though Deimos will always be taller than she, Safrin seems to simultaneously remain petite before him, as ambiguous as her height is. She is both large and small, touchable as she is enigmatic and distant.
"I can't say you wasted much time..." Safrin muses, clearly pleased. 'Though I would certainly say it's far more than Halo's alignment which has shifted." Her smile grows as she strides near, the satin-sheen of her gown clinging to her curves and glistening softly from the light she seems to emanate. "I did tell you that you would be rewarded for this Deimos, and indeed you will. There is just one last little thing.." the Resurrected Sword

Safrin
"More than just lives at stake." She adds with a coy shrug of her shoulders. Deimos' reputation with her was on the line as well. Still so many walls he had up...and yet they were so much easier to climb now that a few footholds had been added.
"I would make you one of my own Deimos. Properly one of my own. Not just your knees as they bow to me, not your hands folded in fealty. But every part of you, right down to the smallest fleck of bone." Her perfectly painted lips twitch at the corners with the ghost of a smile, as she comes to stand directly before him. "All of my followers must swear their loyalty. Those I help to change, as I did once with you, must swear their unwavering allegiance. But to be raised higher than that?" Her shoulders shrug as the distance between them diminishes completely. One of her hands rises up the front of his cloak until her fingers find the strong line of his jaw. "Nothing short of a declaration of love can do that." the Resurrected Sword

Safrin
"Rarely are easy things worth more than the time it takes to achieve them." Safrin says with a coquettish shrug as she peers up at him from beneath her long lashes. What he says next does not temper her smile which remains as perfectly placed and beautiful as ever. Though the air grows stiff and cold, like a corpse made to look compelling and realistic, but just..isn't.
"That is not what I asked for." In a flash she is away from him, back turned, her silhouette made bright by the lightning that suddenly flashes outside. "In your retellings of this moment, will you twist this as you have twisted so much else in your life? That you just couldn't, because of your walls and turrets and the parapets of your heart? How it was your upbringing, the wars fought, the losses that are to blame now? I could have had it all, but alas the world was just too cruel and once again I have lost?" Safrin had thought her quest would have shaken away the cobwebs and dirt that coated that seemed to have clogged Deimos's ability to see for himself that he could master his own emotions and reactions to things. Evidently not enough. "Repeat after me, Deimos. Word for word." Turning her head over her shoulder, her dark eyes fix solidly upon him. "I could have been made to shine with the light of a thousand suns. I could have had love and been loved. And I said no." the Resurrected Sword

Safrin
Disappoint rains inside the shrine just as clearly as the storm outside continues to. With a deep inhale Safrin turns her eyes back outside once more as a bolt of lightning strikes the building. With a hand outstretched, Safrin pulls back what appears to be a stone illuminated from within by pulsing fever-hot light.
"Just so long as we understand one another." She whispers once Deimos has repeated her words. Turning, her disappointment in him tempered somewhat by his ability to follow instruction, Safrin lets her eyes rove over him. "Those we love and who love us will always have the world laid at their feet. I am sorry for us both that that isn't a path you are going to walk." Sounding as though she genuinely means it, the goddess turns her eyes toward the glowing stone in her hands. "But you have served me well Deimos, and for that I am most appreciative. I do not offer myself to everyone, nor do I take rejection kindly. Even so..." Holding out the stone, should the Sword take it, he will feel thunder roar in his bones as lightning halos his vision for a moment. "...you have done well." Deimos has been given a Thunderbird shift with the following abilities: Thunderbird: Can shoot lightning (mastered) from its eyes, and can create the roar of thunder with the beat of its wings. the Resurrected Sword

Safrin
"Merely keep her in our name." Safrin says with a shake of her head. "The ascended will likely not be pleased, nor will whoever is still loyal to Morgan. But so long as Halo remains pledged to the Old Gods, all will be well." It mattered little that Hotaru was in charge, or that Noah—a Frey follower—ruled alongside her. So long as they pledged themselves on the right side of things, Safrin would take whatever victories she could get.
Especially in the wake of such a monumental loss. "Go, explore the skies anew. Add your own touches of light to my starry skies, and keep Halo safe. I take it you will be her defender once again now that Morgan is gone?" the Resurrected Sword
