"Why?" Lilith demanded, making her voice rough and deep. What could she possibly want? "Sit." Alva repeated, completely unfazed, sitting down with her legs crossed.
Perhaps if she just listened to her, maybe she could move on with her day, and get to Minerva soon. Lilith let out a sigh of frustration, and sat on the cold, ground, on her knees, very obviously not happy.
Alva didn't look at her, but she was staring at nothing. "What do you want?" Lilith snarled at her, her daggers digging slightly into her ankles, making her even more angry.
Alva inhaled a sharp intake of breath, and looked at Lilith, snapping back to reality. A loud thump came from the dark hallway, followed by another groan. "Ugh, the boys." Alva groaned quietly, rubbing her temples.
Lilith glanced at the hallway, and back at Alva, and said through her bared teeth, "What is going on?" She demanded, her hand slowly moving toward her boots.
"What you are about to hear, is going shock you." She said with a serious look on her face. "Oh, so I should listen, right?" Lilith snorted, not convinced.
Alva just stared at her with an unreadable face. "Fine." She said sharply, putting her hand in the air. Lilith looked at her hand, her eyebrows raised. Suddenly, a light blue mist surfaced from Alva's hand, spewing out into the air. Lilith felt her eyes widen, but she didn't stop them.
The blue mist circled above them, making a tight circle. Unexpectedly, the circle made a quiet bubble noise, and slowly the mist dissipated, revealing a large orb. "How did you do that?" Lilith asked, amazed, her voice barely even a whisper.
Alva remained silent, her hands making strange symbols in the air, and her eyes glued on the orb. Lilith stared at the orb, her jaw dropped. In the now glowing orb, figures started to appear. "Who is that?" She questioned, her eyes squinting to see them.
Alva's eyes started to glow, and she started to levitate. Lilith jumped up, a dagger already in her hand. "Alright, stop the circus tricks. This isn't real." She said, pointing it at Alva.
She stared at Lilith, still moving her hands in unusual ways. The figures in the sphere morphed into somewhat familiar people. Lilith looked back at the orb, still holding the dagger at Alva.
She leaned in toward it, her eyes again widening on the people. Naida and Oryn were walking toward the forest, toward Timeston, both wearing all black. "What are they doing? How are you doing that?"
The picture started to dissolute, and Alva fell onto the ground, panting. The orb melted back into mist, and it flew swiftly into her forehead, making Alva gasp and her head * back.
"What in the world?" Lilith said under her breath, rushing to Alva's side, slipping her dagger back into her boot. She knelt down, picking up the unconscious Alva.
Alva's eyes shot open, and she gasped, loudly. She was shaking uncontrollably, and sweat was dripping down her face. "What the hell was that?" Lilith demanded form behind her, crossing her arms.
Alva stood up abruptly, panting. She raised her hand, pointing toward the dark hallway. "Go... there. I'll explain.... more later." She said, gasping for air. She sat down back on the ground, closing her eyes.
Lilith looked toward the hallway, her brows furrowed. "Alva," She started sharply. Alva paid no attention to her, and seemed to be focusing on her breathing. Lilith tapped her foot, frustrated. "Fine." She said, very confused, and very angry.
She has magic as well? Somehow, Alva and Minerva must be connected. Somehow. Lilith walked toward the hallway, a spew of violent words flowing from her mouth. As she neared the hallway, she heard happy, muffled voices coming from a hidden door.
She walked into the darkness, light emitting from the floor through a slight crack. Lilith prowled toward the door, debating whether or not to grab one of her faithful daggers. She reached the door, and slowly moved her hand to the doorknob, twisting it.
She opened the door, and peered into the large room. Laughter filled the air, and Lilith knew immediately that there was three people in the massive room. She knew that it most likely was the three boys, but that didn't stop her from leaning down and quickly grabbing a dagger and tucking it into her sleeve.
"Eddard is mad at me because I'm not going easy on hi..." Juniper ran up, his smug smile slowly disappearing. "Um- are you supposed to be here?" He asked quietly, moving his hand behind his back. His eyes darted all over the dirt and plant covered ground. The plants had the same strange green color as the trees and grass as outside....
Juniper had changed into what seemed to be a black training suit, covered in dirt and rocks and plants. His hair was coated in mud, and his face wasn't much better. The room had opened into large cobblestone and wood room, and there was gashes in the wall with mud and water dripping off of them. And similar to the other room, the ceiling was glass.
"Your mother sent me here." Lilith said flatly, looking around and admiring the giant room. Juniper just stared at her, with a confused look painted on his face. "You're the one, aren't you?" He said, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Yes. She is." Alva said from behind Lilith.
