The Tree of Life {Semi-Lit}

[loki.i love you.]

Colton listened to every stuttering word that Serria told him. Translations? He nodded though, and let her slip to the ground, nudging her closer to the roots of the tree. He removed the book of spells for Erin to probably take. How on Earth am I going to contact her?

Aurora laughed when he said not to burn Erin's bedroom on fire. She smiled when he said her name was also Erin's last name. She nodded, "It will be our little secret." She told him with a smirk. She nodded, "Okay, I will try to pick something she won't miss to much." She said to him She listened to him when he mentioned Erin going through a stage. She ould understand that even though she really never went through it herself. She looked at the other wardrobe that he said not to go into. She noticed it had chains, and it seemed to move like it was breathing. She looked at him,"What's wrong with it? And why does it look like it is breathing?" She asked him rather curious. She walked towards the wardrobe with chains on it and examined it.

Serria's sleeping form curled up against the roots of the tree. She looked weak and scared, even in her sleep. Her normally vibrant being had been snuffed within seconds. Slowly, as the last movement Serria could do to help Colton, a leaf drifted down from the branches of her tree and pointed in the direction that Erin and Sylvia had raced in.

Cyrus glanced over at the wardrobe with a chuckle. "Erin is a witch skilled in the arts of necromancy... I wouldn't touch it if I were you..." He shook his head, "It looks like it's breathing, because it is breathing... Bit of an accident Erin had with her magic - apparently, that's what happens if you have a nightmare about skeletons coming back to life." Cyrus tilted his head to the side, not wanting to tell much more about what had actually happened with the wardrobe and wishing she'd hurry up picking clothes so he could show her where the food and drink was... Cyrus was hungry once again.

Aurora turned around and looked at him with a 'are you kidding me face'. She looked back at the dresser, a little creeped out. She then went to the other dresser. She opened the doors up and looked at all the other clothing. She picked out a cute little red dress. She looked at him, "Is there a bathroom or somewhere I can change?" She asked him. She would prefer not to change in front of a total stranger. She waited for an answer. She ran a hand through her red hair, her bright green eyes were on him.

Cyrus watched as she chose a dress, one that Erin nowadays wouldn't be seen dead in. "Yeah, there's a bathroom across the hall." He pushed open the door for her so she could get to it, and stepped out of the way. "I'll wait out in the hall for you. Can't have you getting lost in these tunnels, you'll never find your way back again..." He grinned lightly and left Aurora to get changed.

Aurora smiled and nodded to him, "Thanks." She laughed a little when he said that he couldn't have her getting lost in all the varies tunnels under here. She smiled as he grinned. She then followed her way to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her. She then changed out of her rough, and dirty dress. She changed into the newer one. She then washed her face, legs, feet, arms, and hands clean. She brushed her red hair, and then checked over herself. She smiled a bit, and then walked out of the bathroom. She saw Cyrus, and walked over to him; she smiled. "So what's next?"

((Is there somewhere I could jump in?))

Cyrus had to think Aurora was a bit weird, she'd been running for her life from a hunter, and her she was acting like nothing bad had happened. Either she was used to running from hunters - which was impossible since no one could get used to running from their life, being so scared one minute that they could be tottally fine in the next - or she was just detached from the world. Cyrus waved away the thought and smiled at Aurora when she appeared. He shrugged, having no clue what to do with the new person...? Send her to France in a freight ship...? Throw a spoon at her...? Give her a block of cheese...? What exactly was he meant to do.


((Well I currently don't have any characters free but Colton is free next to the Tree of Life or Cyrus needs some help because he's useless.))

"I told you- Not to- Slow down..." Erin gasped between heavy breaths, doubling over and holding herself up by putting her hands on her knees. It took her a few moments to figure out what Sylvia meant when she said Tree of Life, since Erin knew The Tree of Life much better by the name Serria. "What did- They do?" She was still gasping and heaving for breath as Sylvia began tracking whoever it was that had hurt Serria.

She rumaged through her pockets, tracking spells, were the most common spells to hand. There were so many ways to track someone, yet the way by necromancy was quite simple. Erin pulled a small red-purple vial from her pocket and passed it - in a weak shaking hand to Sylvia. When poured on the footprint, the vial would be able to trace the energy of the assassin, and Sylvia would be able to see a thin trail of energy leading towards Nyx if she did the pouring.

Erin mimed out pouring the contents of the vial onto the footprint - and felt incredibly unfit since she was still struggling for her breaths. Perhaps she sould lay off the sugared snacks for a short while...

Sylvia brushed her bangs away from her eyes. She pulled her hair back from her shoulders, tucking her bangs behind her ear. She picked her bow back up from where she had set it down on the ground. Sylvia took the vial from Erin and thought good thing I don't have to drink it. She opened the vial carefully and leaned down, pouring some of the vial onto the foot-print. "All of it?" she asked. Sylvia wasn't one to waste things, so she had only poured about 1/4th of the bottle onto the foot-print.

Aurora was trying to be focused on being happy. She has been frightened all her life, but she had heard so many great things about the Tree of Life. She just wanted to put the entire past behind her. She wanted to forget about the hunter, and everything terrible. She looked at Cyrus, "Maybe you could show me around? Or am I not- like welcomed here and it's for the ones that were born from it?" She looked up at him with her green eyes. She knew she didn't really belong here, but it was the closest thing she could get to being safe, but she didn't know the tree was dying.
