Child of the Flame

Kendri

You are transported by the power of the Divine.
Atop the Pillar of Auresae.
This room has not been mapped.
Wreathed in torrid flame, a fiery-maned qilin stands here like a fierce statue. A small Delosian bridge statuette scene is here. A white chaise lounge is here, its dark frame gilded with ornate golden accents that glimmer brilliantly in the firelight. Intense waves of heat bathe the area, radiating from the Divine presence of Auresae, Goddess of Fire.
There are no obvious exits.

Auresae's mouth turns up as Her face breaks into a smile.

You incline your head politely to those around you.

Rashar suddenly appears, looking bewildered.

You have emoted: Kendri gives the familiar pillar a cursory glance before her attention fixes on the Goddess, "Hello Dad" she notes as Rashar arrives.

Auresae waves Her hand with dismissive, somewhat haughty demeanor, "A simple Yes or No typically suffices, Rashar dear." She says with a slight laugh, leveling her gaze upon you.

Rashar's eyebrows lift, but he immediately hones in on you and then Auresae. Smiling a lopsided smile, he bounces up onto his toes. "My ladies," greets the Idreth. "How can I assist?"

Auresae circles around the woman, placing Her hands upon the lupine shoulders of you and staring beyond to Rashar with a glance seeking approval, "The child of the Flame...so she is, so she will always be..." She mentions quietly, "Name her qualities to me...before her."

You have emoted: Kendri settles onto her haunches as the flame touched hands touch her shoulders. She glances over her shoulder at Auresae, lifting her brows in a curious mimicry of Rashar's earlier gesture before she turns her stormy gaze on the Idreth.

Auresae's hands warm as they press against the womans flesh, Her form smoldering with a fiery intensity much alike to the flames which surge around the pillar.

"Loyalty," Rashar replies immediately, following Auresae's path with interest. "Sense. Does that count? That whole not being an idiot thing goes a long way, if you ask me." His brows rise and fall a few times, quickly. Kidding, then. "Faith, and dedication." He pauses. "Do I really need to continue, my Lady? You know her as well as I. She is me, and she is Roux, and she is Arbre. Yours too, I think, and I think we've created something great."

Auresae smirks, nodding Her head, "I know this already, sometimes it is nice for a daughter to hear well from her own father her merits." She intones, clenching Her hands as if to stabilize the woman upon the pillar, permitting a vibrant golden glow to crackle and surge through the fur like flame through dry linen.

You have emoted: Kendri flashes a grin full of smug intensity and ivory fangs as Rashar speaks. Her pelt twitches under the onslaught of crackling flame and her nose twitches as she scents the air, expecting the smell of burning fur. "It is nice," she notes in a rumble.

Rashar's lips twitch as he regards you. "Can't be telling her too often," he teases lightly. "She'll get a bigger head than even I, and then where would we be?"

Auresae lowers Her gaze downwards upon you, closing Her eyes and focusing intently on something deep within the woman, "..and you Kendri." She pauses, eliciting a torrid heat to surround the entirety of the platform as it bathes within the essence of the flames. "You accepted the flame long before you even knew what it meant, to say that your very existence is a blessing to Me, to those around you, anything less would be disservice My child."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "You are Mine, as you are theirs..."

The flames surge throughout the pillar, wisps churning and lashing through the bodies present, watching them exit out through your chest and into that of those before you, like a chain binding the lives, the existence as a whole together as one.

She is a stalwart Werewolf with her lanky form masked in flaxen; a burnished sheen of health is harboured within the surface of her thick pelt. Striking crimson hues start at the bridge of her muzzle, doting up over her forehead and becoming larger as they flow down the supple length of her spine to encompass the entirety of her fluffed tail. A narrow head is capped with a blond nose at the end of her long muzzle and framed by a pair of over-large triangular ears. Her eyes are a stormy grey filled with inclusions of aureate radiating outward from the pupils. When standing on all fours, her adolescent wolf frame reaches near four feet from the top of her head to the pads of her oversized paws. She walks with the blessing of Slyphe. She walks with the blessing of Dhar.

(on a chain around the neck) : a nautilite ring featuring a faceted emerald
(flashing argent sparks) : a storm-graven locket

Auresae places Her hand atop the head, gently caressing from between the ears and downwards, flames rising from the tips of Her fingers as they run through the fur.

Rashar's arms come out from his sides a bit, as if welcoming the heat that lashes through him - but his eyes are only for you, and pride is evident even in those mysterious, bottomless pools of gray. His crooked smile widens and cracks open, revealing his own teeth and a pair of gleaming fangs with his grin. Still he remains silent, content to spend this moment as an observer.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Do you accept such a bond, for you require no purity, no cleansing...you were created of the very flame."

Auresae turns Her gaze downwards upon you, awaiting response.

You have emoted: Kendri widens her eyes, the gold intensifying as she remains static, nearly hypnotized by Auresae. "I am Yours." she repeats in a whisper. Her tail twitches at the end, the only sign of her pleasure in the increasing heat. She blinks once, slowly before saying more strongly, "I belong to the Flames, to You, to my parents. I accept." Her voice is stronger now, full of youthful vigor and confidence.

Auresae's mouth turns up as Her face breaks into a smile.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "I know."

Auresae removes Her hand, pulling away gently and with such a movement the flames surge in response, rising high into the heavens and brightening the sky with the very power of Her being.

A fountain of translucent flame erupts from the ground and coalesces to form an amber crest bracelet.

A fountain of translucent flame erupts from the ground and coalesces to form a trinket of living flame.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Stand before me, Fio Fielm Ileminari."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire has invited you to join the Divine Order of Auresae, Goddess of Fire and awaits a response.
AGREE if you wish to join the order.

Auresae grants you entrance into Her Order. Congratulations!

Your patron has generously bestowed upon you the Order title of "Fio Fielm Ileminari".

You have emoted: Kendri turns in a half circle to stand before Auresae, muzzle lifted as she gazes up at the Goddess before her.

Auresae leans down, smiling broadly, a toothy grin which offers similarities to others of Hers, taking you in Her hands she lowers almost in a bow to gently peck your forehead with a gentle kiss before rising back to full height.

Rashar's smile grows wry, and he glances from you to Auresae. "Can't promise I'll ever get any better with Illumine," he notes in a drawl. "Not the best language for this lazy tongue of mine."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "The trinkets before you are yours...and .."

Auresae looks over to Rashar.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Hers is easy, Child of the Flame."

Auresae taps Her nose knowingly.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Better than a rock upside the head."

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "The bracelet you may wear and touch it to feel my strength with in you."

Rashar barks a laugh. "Noticeably," he agrees, glancing at you. "Child of the Flame. Easy enough, yeah?"

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "The trinket should you touch it, will permit you to speak to me, should you turn it...it will bring you to My gardens."

Auresae grins mischievously at Rashar.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Now when dad stirs up some trouble, you can help him rip peoples legs off."

Auresae taps Her nose knowingly at you.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Not that he would of course."

Auresae rolls Her eyes.

Rashar holds up his hands in mock frustration. "If I could find a fight around here," he mutters with a scowl. "I'd be a happy feller indeed. I walk through Spinesreach givin' fellers the hairy eye and nobody says a word. Bunch of yellow bellied bastards."

You have emoted: Kendri crouches down and slowly reverts to her Yeleni form. She slips on her robe casually before plucking the trinkets off the ground, examining each with glances up toward Auresae every few moments. She smirks at the turn in the conversation, "Thank You. And I suppose I would help, yes."

The primal fury fades into the back of your mind suddenly as you relinquish your hold on your werewolf form. Giving your body a vigorous shake, the fur recedes rapidly, and your body shrinks back to normal size, the muzzle and tail disappearing, and leaving you feeling drained and far less powerful than before.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "By no means are you required to, I do not pressure Mine into those sorts of predicaments, you are free to be Mine how you so choose."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "I am not my Sister the Mu...Male...the Spider."

Auresae waves Her hand dismissively at the world, clearly demonstrating Her boredom.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Whatever the pit she goes by nowadays."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "You have a couple siblings take your heart and books and look what happens."

You say, "Lady, the thought of ripping legs in Your name.. it would be a pleasure."

Auresae bares Her teeth in a feral grin.

You are now wearing an amber crest bracelet.
As you don an amber crest bracelet, a shimmering curtain of heat flows over you and melds with your skin.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "I never protest such things dearest."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Momma can cook anything to be tasty with the right flame."

Auresae's mouth turns up as Her face breaks into a smile.

You give a trillingly melodic laugh.

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says, "Would you all like to be delivered back to Enorian, though you are welcome to stay if you desire."

"She's my daughter," Rashar explains needlessly. "And usually the first to my side when there's a fight to be had. It makes me glad to see another of Yours willing, to be honest. Never know when a storm'll brew." Turning and gazing off into the distance, he rumbles, "Enorian is fine with me, Lady. If You would."

Auresae's mouth turns up as Her face breaks into a smile.

Auresae nods Her head emphatically.

Translucent fire wreathes itself over his frame and consumes Rashar, leaving behind nothing but an empty space where he once stood.

You smile and say, "Fine with me as well."

Auresae, Goddess of Fire says to you, "Very well dearest, and welcome home."

You say, "Thank You."

Auresae leans in close and lays a gentle kiss upon your forehead.

You beam broadly at Auresae.

You are transported by the power of the Divine.

Thanks @Auresae, much love!
