ROANA
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Roana snickered, hiding her grin behind her hand. "Good to see your humor is still in tact. Aoife will get a kick out of you though. Babies love when their parents hurt themselves." she said knowingly. Oh, how many times had her boys cackled when she pretended to hit herself or knock her knee on something? Too many to count.Staring straight back at me?
They stopped again and Roana proceeded to stretching again while he caught his breath. She wasn't stiff or sore but she felt a bit guilty. Once upon a time he probably could have outpaced her and now he was like a new, baby recruit. That had to be frustrating. "Good to know you keep me around for my masochistic tendencies." she said with a smirk.
She smiled a bit as he grumbled and shook out his hands. "Aw, don't be sour now. I'm just looking out for some of the things that are easy to forget when you're focused on breathing." she said. "You're actually not doing too bad. Second time around as a new recruit must be easier." she joked.
But as they started off again the conversation grew more serious. Fortunately for Ronin and his straining lungs, it would rely mostly on her to carry the conversation. "Well...there was a war. Between the Voice and the other gods. I'm not really sure of the specifics and the Naturals that will talk to me anymore don't really know much more than that. But the Voice was a human once. A mage who grew too powerful for her own good it seems. I figure she used the Ascended as her main military force. But you and I both know how much damage a rogue mage of great power can do in a short period of time." Northwind had been filled with powerful mages and despite laws they did occasionally get power hungry and go on rampages. Like if Bellamy Rowan or pick-a-Launceleyn decided to try a coup. It was bad news bears.
"She must've been too powerful at the time to do away with so the other gods trapped her in the barrier...and everyone else. In some last ditch effort to get out she somehow managed to pull us from our worlds here to get her out." she said, falling silent for a minute. And her plan worked. They had been pawns and they'd released her on the world again. "It's why people were so against bringing it down, because the gods did it to protect the rest of Caido. In our search for freedom, we played the perfect pawns and whatever freedom we have now is going to be short lived if nothing is done about the Voice." Roana glanced over at Ronin, her brow furrowed in a look of concern. "I don't want to fight another person's war...but if we were brought here because we've the tools and skills to release her, we just might have what it takes to bring her down too...and I think we must. Its our duty to. We unleashed her back into Caido, the least we can do is to finally bring an end to all of it."
