Hoarfrost	The Wintersong Forest is as quiet as ever. The frozen landscape never really changing from day to day, save for the oddly busy center. Animals of all kinds mill about feeding on the vibrant green foliage just under the fresh layer of snow. Standing on her porch of the small hovel on the edge of the clearing Hoarforst wipes blood from her arms with a rag. The witch looks to her familiar and gestures to a bucket on the ground. "Petra could you fetch some snow I'm going to need to boil it to clean up." Behind her a deer lays on a makeshift surgical table. No visible wounds but blood also coats the surface.
Rishi	There is a swish of wings as a shadow moves over her. Once. Twice. Then a soft thump and Frosty is pulled into an embrace from behind. "Ah! It is so nice to be seeing you again!" Rishi sounds giddy with joy, almost to the point of drunkeness. She twirls around, spinning about with Frosty in her arms! "I am having the most wonderful news! I have made the breakthrough! I must be showing you!" It takes a few moments before she stops and finally looks around. "Frosty, is something being wrong?"
Hoarfrost	There is a half moment of panic as the prey animal in her wants to bolt from the sudden surprise hug, giving a soft 'eep!' of alarm. Almost as fast though the winter witch relaxes into the hug. Returning it the best she can without getting a mess all over her love. "Rishi I'm covered in-" giggling though all the while. Tilting her head back to the table she shakes her head. "It was touch and go there for a while, hunter hit her but failed the kill lost a lot of blood." Digging into her pocket and pulling out a crewd arrow head stained in dry blood. "She is lucky I was able to save the foal as well." Giving a proud beaming smile from a hard days work. "Whats this about a breakthrough?"
Rishi	Rishi tilts her head. "If she is needing the further help, I should be glad to assist you." She considers a moment, then reaches up to the golden necklace she wears, carefully removes it, then with additional care, places it around Frosty's neck. As she closes the clasp, Frosty can feel a warm heat flow through her body as all the dirt, grime, sweat, and above all, blood simply ...evaporates off of her, like the morning dew vanishing under the sun. Frosty can hear Rishi murmuring something behind her in what could be Firetongue, maybe? After a few minutes, Rishi removes the necklace and puts it back on, where it once again points right to her cleavage. "That is being much better, yes?" "Ah!" Rishi's eyes light up. "Yes, I wish to be showing you!" She looks around "...Ah, do you have the clearing you are not using now? A most large one?"
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost lights up at the the offer. Doing a little half turn to step out of the way between her patient and Rishi. "Of course if you want to take a look by all means." She goes right into the particulars of her work, voice changing from soft spoken to a tone of cold seriousness by comparison. The location of the wound, the damage the time it took and the methodology of her treatment. The deer is still clearly in shock and out cold from a mixture herbal anistetic and plain bloodloss. The gesture of the neckless catches her of guard and with another squeak of surprise she melts back into her usual soft tones blushing just a little. All the hair on her arms and neck stand on end as the tingling warmth moves through her "W-wow. Where did you find something like that?" clearly recognizing it as some kind of artifact or hearth stone. "Er-yes much better ... never felt so clean actually." Wobbling a little she nods. "Of course its on one of the edges of the forest but its perfect for larger magics." Turning into her unicorn form. Turning again to offer her back to give Rishi a ride when she is ready.
Rishi	After looking the deer over, Rishi beams at Frosty and hugs her. "You have done most well with this deer. It just needs rest. I could not have done better!" Rishi fingers the necklace. "Ah? This. It is being a most useful artifact, yes. It is keeping me clean all of the time so I am not spreading the diseases to my patients." She gives a wry smile. "It was a ...oh, how do you say...a "go away" present from my people." Briefly hoping Ammy will be ok with this, Rishi mounts Frosty and readies herself for the ride to the clearing.
Hoarfrost	There is a soft whinny of excitement. Hooves stomping in place, see seemed half tempted to bolt the second Rishi climbed on. Instead she takes a moment to make sure Rishi is settled before she bolts out. Sprinting at first but slowly returning to a more reasonable speed. Weaving through the trees, kicking up ice and snow behind her. Till after a moment she comes to a less frozen area of the forest. Where some of the trees might even look like they might bloom in the summer months. A massive clearing opens up just beyond the pair perhaps even a quarter of a mile wide. The unicorn glances back as it to ask if the space is good for what ever the other has planned.
Rishi	Rishi entines her fingers in Frosty's mane, holding on carefully so she doesn't fall off or damage the unicorn with her claws. Once they arrive, Rishi carefully slides off and pats Frosty on the neck. "This should be most perfect. Please wait here while I am casting the spell." Rishi digs in her satchel and pulls out some flower petals. Placing one in her mouth she starts walking around the edge of the clearing, speaking softly in Od Realm, occasionally dropping a petal behind her. Frosty can feel the tingle of magic along her skin and her sorcer's senses can tell that this is now simple feat. As Rishi walks, an ivory calx grows from the center of the clearing. First only a foot...then a yard.....soon a man-sized flower bulb grows from the ground. Still Rishi walks and the flower grows, dwarfing her hovel. It is only when it is of a height with the trees surrounding the clearing and covering much of the space that Rishi returns to you and completes her walk. She speaks one final word and the ivory blossom opens, the petals vanishing into essence, leaving behind a massive mansion. Rishi is beaming.
Hoarfrost	The Unicorn shifts again. The neck and head shifting into that of her human form. Only a much smaller horn adorns her head. She sets her hind quarters down as she watches the sorcery be cast. Noticing the scale of magic being woven in that moment her eyes widening a little having seen the spell before. "Rishi that's-" she gasps a little even as flower grows before her. Hands going to her mouth. Wanting to say more but not wanting to break her love's concentration. Only after she turns toward the witch does Hoarfrost rush forward. Galloping into her arms. "That's Celestial Circle! You made it to the second circle on my gosh that's amazing!" she is practically squealing with delight.
Rishi	Rishi steps back a moment as Frosty pushes into her arms, but she hugs the other woman deeply. Frosty can feel the pride radiating off her. "Yes it is most impressive, is it not? But you should be looking insid...the Celestial Circle? But..." Her head tilts and she looks confused. "That is being a myth, is it not? None in my homeland have ever reached this thing."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost tilts her head a little "Humans being of the earth can only reach the first circle of sorcery. Powerful demons, gods, Lawgivers, and of course the Stewards are all capable of obtaining this magic. Oh-we are Stewards." Realizing Rishi may not know that either. "Rishi you are amazing. I have meditated in my forest searching for these secrets for ..." eyes going distant as she tries to actually count the years she has spent in retreat in her forest. Shaking her head the smile crosses her lips again eyes full of excitement. "Few even umong us ever unlock the power of the second circle you are amazing!"
Rishi	Rishi steps back and looks a bit troubled, her wings pulling in and wrapping around her. "Then...this is yet another thing that we can be doing, but Ammy cannot? ....Do....Do you think I should be hiding this from her? I know that she is....troubled by the miracles that we can do, but she can't. I should not like to ...strain our relationship further." She sighs. "But...I do not wish to be lying to her either. I love her, as you do."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost pauses and thinks for a moment. Letting the shock from what she saw fade and considering the further ramifications. "Each circle of sorcery changes you, and your perception of the world. Truly and wholly to the core. This ..." gesturing with a hand to the massive structure of ivory and marble before them. "This is you as much as this is." Running a hand gently along Rishi's wing. Voice full of love and caring as she says it. "I regret the time I disclosed that the Dragon's where no more to Amethyst, but I do not regret telling her the truth of things. This truth is also important. We each have our own strengths. Just as she can not reach this magic, we can not be one with the elements as she can."
Rishi	Rishi relaxes slightly under Hoarfrost's touch. "...Yes, you are right, my sister. I shall not keep this from her, but I do not think that I shall be enjoying that conversation." She sighs. "....Shall we go in? It IS being most wonderful inside? Have you been into one of these before?"
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost smiles and gives Rishi a little squeeze, happy she agrees. "No I don't think it will be fun either. I will be there if you like and offer you both support?" the benefit of a triad is that there is the more than standard amount of arms for hugs. Even more with Rishi about. Turning to the structure she nods. "One was erected during one of the great meetings. I wasn't fond of the sister who cast it but I could not argue with her skill. Yours looks perhaps more substantial?" the witch follows inside craning her neck to look at what is no doubt an equally impressive entryway.
Rishi	Inside the door is a light, airy feeling hall, set with low tables near long and complex looking couches and other places to relax. Each table has several bowls and dishes full of various kinds of fruit and nuts and wine and water. Yet, even with all the opulance...it still seems both elegant and welcoming, much like Rishi herself. %r "The beds upstairs are covered in the softest sheets and ....While I have used my essence to make myself immune to the cold and I can be comfortable anywhere.....those couches and beds are ....Much like what I expect sleeping on a cloud would be like." She looks at Frosty's form for a moment, then points to a long low couch with no sides. "Perhaps you should try that one?"
Hoarfrost	There is a special kind of excitement for furniture made to fit. Hoarfrost approaches the couch fascinated by the design. Taking a moment before hopping on. Her large lower half settling in easily to the soft cushions. "Its heavenly ..." she sighs relaxing into it her for-legs dangling off the end of the couch lazily, like some kind of massive lounging cat. "Between Amy's new house, and this I fear I might begin turning a bit green with envy myself ... please tell me I can come over for the odd nap?" she chuckles already finding a bowl of fuit and rooting about to find her favorite bits. "Do you think there is a bed that would accommodate me as well?" eyes more than a little hopefull.
Rishi	Rishi finds her own couch that looks made to fit her and sinks into it with a sigh. "Of course you can be staying here! As long as you are giving me this clearing, I shall be casting it anew upon each of the days. You and Ammy both." Rishi tilts her head considering, as she spears a few fruit slices with her claws. "As you say, this place is born from my will and my...self. Then, there is most certainly a bed for my love." She thinks a moment. "....I wonder if there is being a bath then. For Ammy."
Hoarfrost	"Water beds?" Hoarfrost muses wondering what kind of bed it would make to house the three of them at once. The idea itself has her blushing a little. "It would be nice to have a place ... to you know all live." Hands idly playing about with her food, face almost glowing now. "As you have not seen it this casting would it be prudent to explore and see what the sorcery made? Would that be an interesting exercise to see how the magic reflects your desires?"
Rishi	Rishi nods. "It would be good to explore this place. I hope that, if I summon it forth in this clearing repeatedly, it shall remain the same, but ...who knows. She thinks for a moment. "...Perhaps I should also summon some entertainment demons? A grand place such as this should have a musician or two. Maybe a dancer." She sighs. "It is a pity that it lasts but for one day. It would be nice to have a lib...." she starts tearing up as she speaks and when she gets to the library she suddenly bursts into tears. it takes a little bit forher to subside. "I apologize. I...I had not realized that....." She headtilts, thinking. "There was a nice library in Ysyr that I visited often. When I was ...elevated, they gave me many gifts, including this necklace, and many, many books." She slumps a bit. "I have always regretted not being able to carry them with me, but I had not realized just how....sad their lack made me until this moment."
Hoarfrost	Hoarfrost is at Rishi's side at once. "Rishi?" unsure what the problem is at first jut seeing that the other is in pain. Entwining her fingers in the others she tilts her head eyes full of concern. Pushing a little closer as she listens. Nodding with understanding. "I can imagine ... the knowledge within ..." simply shaking her head. "Perhaps it is time i hunt for more than just Immaculate texts for Amy. Perhaps I should begin making a library of my own. T-that way you will not have the burden of them." She adds quickly not sure if her intent was clear. She knows how Rishi feelings about owning things she can not carry with her. "You could visit when ever you like and loose yourself in them. Then when you like fly off again."
Rishi	Rishi hugs Frosty, burying her face in her shoulder. "That would be most wonderous. Thank you!" Her closeness and emotions seem to be making her scent even stronger and more intoxicating than usual. "I will do what I can to help you get more of them....Mayhaps I can find a way to modify this spell so that it will simply...remain here. That way you may have a new home as well." She lingers a little with the embrace before she lets go. "Come, let us find the stairs and see what rooms my mind has provided for us."
