WESSEX
after all is said and done
you're just a carnivore let you in and drink my blood
you're nothing but a monster Back through the portal, out through the door - and to be honest, she’s so fucking tempted to shut it behind her and just tell the key to the rest of the fam, but then that would go against the very thing she’s fought for. Rolling her eyes and grumbling about the necessity of being the bigger person, the newest demi-god finds her feet are even faster than before. And that’s not all; the Queen had been so tied up in diplomacy and the newness of Halo that she failed to realize how good the rest of her felt, how strong, how sturdy, how beautifully fucking bright. Wessex hadn’t doubted. She’d seen the glow for herself. But now that she has a moment to think about the events of the past however many hours (days. perhaps?), she finds her systems running a check and is delighted by what they find. The Wraith smiles grimly into the darkness. Things have changed. Snaking through the tunnels of the Underground, Wessex makes her way to the Voice’s light. She takes a knee and looks up with an anticipating smile, now more of an eager child than ever before. |

She appears before Wessex needs to say anything at all. She can always do this of course, but there is something instinctive and grounding in the call and response aspect of prayers, and so even when the Voice knows one of her children is at her doorstep, still she lets them cry out for ehr. But Wessex is hardly a child wailing into the darkness. No, now she is a fledgling star, well on her way to exploding into the brilliance of a sun. "How did you find Halo?" The Voice asks, appearing swathed in white cloth, her dark tendrils of hair framing her pale face and making her blue eyes seem all the more electric for it. the Wraith

"Indeed. You are uniquely equipped to withstand the cold, and will find yourselves all the more capable during the shortened daylight hours." The Voice agreed with a cheshire-cat like smile. "The Launceleyns are useful insofar as they can be manipulated. Neron was one of the few I was able to place outside of the barrier, and you now see why. He's corrupted by his upbringing much like the rest of them seem to be, but at least he has the good sense to align himself to the winning team." Her quietly confident smile said all that her words might otherwise have done, as to what side that was. "Not faith, Wessex." The Voice corrected. "Though I have that too. But it isn't just your potential I see, but your actions. Don't think for even a moment that you haven't earned this." the Wraith

"They do indeed. From what I have gleaned from their minds, they once served the ruling party of their homeland. Were bound to them by magic as I understand it..." The Voice's lips curled upwards in a suggestive smirk. The Voice lets Wessex digest the moment as it comes, smiling proudly down at her. The queen straddles the line of confidence and humbleness well—at least in her presence—and it is that strength of character that the goddess finds alluring about her chosen one. It reminds her of herself, actually. "They don't, no. But then...They've not put up another barrier. They've watched this happen, allowing it in a sense. But let us not be lured into a false sense of security." She added, straightening. "Next? That will depend on you and your kin. I have given Samuel an upgrade that will allow him to know the status of future portals. Because of his invisibility he's in a unique position to assist in this. You see, wherever you travel, so too do I go. In order to bring a new portal online, my energy must be spread throughout a given area. Just as you did with the Greatwood, so too will you do in Halo. And then in Torchline, and so on.." the Wraith

"Did it? It always did like to meddle." The Voice said with an unamused sniff. Listening to Wessex's account, the goddess nods thoughtfully at her report. Leaning forward, blue eyes narrowed to electric points of light, she considers. "What would make it easier for you, against this band of uninformed interlopers?" Clasping her hands together as if having expected this question, the Voice merely nods. "The guardian placed there is a creature older than even I. My memories of the Fae were that they preferred to fight among themselves rather than outsides. Had hostilities not been so immediately raised negotiating with them would have been far easier." But there had been rules broken, change, and of course the blight.. the Wraith

"You personally." There was something to be said about ensuring her children were well equipped...but the Voice would restrict palpable doses of power and advantage to those she trusted the most. Those like Wessex. Considering this, the Voice nods. "The fae's small mindedness about our kind isn't helpful. Perhaps were someone else to supersede Delah..someone with more compatible goals to ours? If nothing else, that might cause a suitable distraction.." the Wraith

"You don't need to beat a dragon." The Voice replied with a tilted grin. "Only the man inside." As for being able to outmaneuver them? Well...the goddess would indeed think on that. "For now at least, I think you'll find yourself far more capable of traversing distances than any of them are..." the Wraith

"The room?" The goddess interjects, her raised brow suggesting that they both likely thought their intelligence stretched farther than just the room they were in. "Indeed." The Voice agrees, a dark electricity bright in her gaze. Though her knowledge and insight is vast, still she lets her children come to her at their own pace. To that end, the goddess merely sits in an energy-charged silence, wide blue eyes softly focused on her most brightest of children. | ||||||
