Black Pearl	It has been some time with work separating the pair. Watching the tournament to make sure medical attention is there. Watching the crowds, gossipping and getting information. Spreading rumors and lies and calumny. Attending to people at the temple. There is much to do in the world. And tonight, Black Pearl has sent word to Rishi. "I am ready for the pool." A short note, but the ink skillfully applied to paper and folded intricately. And she waits in the temple, hidden near the pool, waiting for her love.
Rishi	And so Rishi comes out from behind one of the pillars, the moon at night shining in through the occulus. She is prepared for the ritual, wearing a robe of undyed cloth, and carrying another. "Pearly? Are you being ready?"
Black Pearl	Black Pearl licks her lips and smiles. "Ready or not...I need to do this. I still feel the tug of you inside me. I feel the blend of my water-sister Amethyst. I feel the swirl and sway of my soul, but...I am myself. And because of that, I know it is time..." She slips out of her silks--fairly simple for her, though still lucious, and moves to accept the robe. "I don't know what is going to happen, but I trust you." A smile breaks through and she beams.
Rishi	Rishi smiles, disrobing herself. "No, no. The robes are being for after we are finished. And, please, before we are doing this, let me be doing the looking at your soul. Just to be reassuring me." Assuming Pearly assents, Rishi takes her by the shoulders and looks deeply into her eyes, her essence flowing through Pearly's meridians, watery anima flowing from her body, searching through her self and cradling Pearly's soul.
Black Pearl	It is the nature of water to flow, and so Pearl's soul does. Influenced by the moon for tides, certainly, and never constant except in its inconstancy. No whirlpool or malestrom, at least, but the endless ocean, reaching and yearning for the other half. The Water-caste is open and stable in her fluidity. The mixed streams linking her to her other Hearthmate, and the reflecion of the moon in her surface. Embracing her own essence, she shows what she can, not trying to hide anything.
Rishi	Rishi smiles, visibly relaxing as her face lights up. "You are looking so much the better my love, my mate." And she embraces her partner. "Is there being anything you are wishing to be doing before this?"
Black Pearl	Black Pearl smiles. "I want..." She laughs, "Not before. Perhaps during. Perhaps after...But right now..." She smiles, "I want, crave, look so much forward to being with you. To seek your heart's desires and grant them..."
Rishi	Rishi pulls her close. "We are being together all of the ready. I am having few of the desires you are not already granting me." Rishi pulls her into a deep kiss. "So. Do not be doing the worrying about me tonight." She steps back. "And what I was meaning was, did you have any of the things you wished to be doing to prepare? The meditation? The communing with the Water Dragon?" She grins. "I am having the spell I should be doing..." She reaches down under the robes and pulls a small vial out. Then moving to stand under the moonlight she starts chanting a prayer. At the right moment, she pours the vial over her head. In the light of the moon, the liquid pouring down her nude form, it's washing away her ...colors? No, she's becoming... water.
Black Pearl	Black Pearl nods. "There is one..." Her eyes gleam, and her aura twists a bit, empowered by water. The smell and feel of fresh mist as her form starts to ripple and fade into translucency, becoming water itself. When she sees Rishi's transformation, she appears surprised, and then nods. "I...I am speechless," she says with astonished delight. "But I am ready. Should I...go in? Are you going to join me?"
Rishi	Even made of water, Rishi's smile glints in the light. "You may be going in when you are being ready. I shall be coming in behind you." She gestures to the pool that awaits Black Pearl, the moonlight making it glow sliver.
Black Pearl	Pearl starts to stride into the water, stepping steadily, sinking into the water, and as she does so, she delberately starts to let her form disspate, to flow into the pool. Mixing with the mystic, the magic in the pool, letting it not just cover her, but flow into her, mix with her own Essence willingly. Embracing what will come.
Rishi	The Pool glows as the miracle occurs. Pearly's heart is accepted and felt, as the true form of her heart becomes known...except there is no true form, only a shifting mass of masks and water. The Pool tries several times to grant this wish...but every form is lacking. There is a sense of confusion and eventually ...a call, a plea for help. And it's wish is granted. The Pool finds it's metaphorical hands held, as a sense of warm love permiates the Pool. Rishi has merged with both the Pool and Pearly, guiding the Pool's hands and embracing her love at every level: body, mind, and soul. Whatever she wishes to become now, she will be able to achieve it!
Black Pearl	The scales forced upon her spread more throughout her body, covering entirely, only to vanish again. The flowing form adapting to physical body as well. The love and desire twining to become physically part of her. But most of all, the endless flowing, the constant masks, the hiding of self, does she have a true form anymore? But what she does have is love, and she pours that back to Rishi, waters and waters and waters all mixing, as well as essence and essence and essence. Heart, mind, soul, and watery body open, delighted, to merge and blend should her lover accept!
Rishi	They exist together as one for a time that is both forever and instant, Pearly's new body forming, Rishi embracing. And then they surface, breaking the water together!
Black Pearl	The moment is timeless, and for that moment, there are not two beings, but one within the pool. But it is too intense to last, and flow apart they must, though each may still sense the other. The essences transmute her, and transmute within her, shaping her, and shaped by her, so that shen she finally emerges from the water, it cascades down ebon flesh that gleams like pearl, her hair flowing. Dragonscales start to emerge, fasioning patterns of protective beauty and marks of fae allegiance before fading back into her skin. "I...that was...." She turns around and reaches to embrace her mate.
Rishi	When Pearly turns to embrace her mate, she finds another woman there, one that looks exactly as she does. "That, that was being amazing...what?" the woman raises a hand to her throat then looks at it. "....So....that is how this is doing the feeling. It is being most of the strange. Akin to doing the wearing of their underwear." She looks at Pearly, them smile's Rishi's grin. "...But, my heart, my mate, we are being as one. I think I am ...being fine in this form. For a short time at least." And she pulls her double into a hug and kiss.
Black Pearl	Black Pearl blinks in surprise and then embraces close and giggles. "Oh, you look splendid. /I/ look splendid. I..." She leans to kiss, savoring herself, "...It is strange to see, but I would greatly enjoy this. I feel...ready. Finally. To see /her/ again. To understand everything." She's bouyant with laughter and glee and returns the embrace and kiss, and hands roam, touching the way she enoys to be touched, to see how Rishi's new form will react: As herself, or as the woman she mimics?
Rishi	"Oh! Ohhhh..." And Rishi melts into her arms. "...This is being most wondrous. We will needing to be doing the ...experimenting." And she looks down, memories shared in the pool starting to surface. "...We will also need to be doing the talking." And then Pearly's touch makes her melt once more. "But, the later. We should be doing this ...out of the pool." She whispers into Pearly's ear. "I am having the room here. We can be doing the experimenting there."
Black Pearl	Black Pearl nods. "Then...then let us go. I feel refreshed like a strong current..." She looks down and then back up into her own face, and cups Rishi's cheek. "It seems a shame to use the robes, to hide ourselves, but I will certianly follow your desires. And to talk, oh my yes. By all the dragons and Creation, yes!" A smile, "After, though..."
