Description
As night fell into the hours far past its crest and waned towards the middle of its reign, a silvery mist seeped from out of the Lady's room and weaved its inconspicuous way out into the chill evening air. There it slithered like curling tendrils reaching ever higher, spreading as to disappate into the breeze. Higher and higher until at last lost amongst the clouds and stars did it become. Lea released the magic of her spell, the tiny petite elven woman reappearing barefoot and cloaked in violet velvet standing in mid-air amongst the shroud of clouds as the moon and starlight washed over their puffy masses. Only briefly did she remain that way, the winds tossing lightly at her silvery locks before her form began to shimmer and shift again. A cacophony of crackling pops and snaps sounded all at once as bones broke and stretched her face elongated her fingernails sharpened her spine grew and her entire frame began to get larger and larger and longer and longer. Great leathery wings exploded from her back as the silver of her hair seemed to leak to color her entire body like spilled paint. Clothing melted away as she fell to her hands and knees and her neck and tail bone extended. It took only minutes and then Lelandarnofeliascion sighed into the night air, shaking her great head as her frill toppled this way and that like some dog shaking itself off happily. Oh it felt good to take on her true form.

High hidden in the clouds, Seagate seemed but a speck below. To her keen vision she could see its outlines easily as Lea paced amongst the clouds walking atop the air gracefully as if it were solid beneath her huge feet. Her solid silver frame glistened like liquid metal beneath the caress of the dim lighting as she moved to lie atop a particular drifting cluster. Her molten silver optics turned up to scan the heavens then. So close at hand and yet still reaching far as the eye could see. It was as if one were part of that world and yet lost dreaming to be. Where were They though? LeaND frowned to herself in thought as she tapped her tail tip with a deep breath. Whereever it was that this realm was located, she could not discover the Dragon's Heaven Constellation. The very thought sent a quiver through her.

Was that why He sent her here? To discover the plight of her people? But...what if she felt her Twilight come? Or worse, what if she were slain amongst these foreign places....
No...you mustn't focus on such thoughts. Especially when you know not the truth of the Gods reasons or what your purposes of being where you are might be, my lady and friend... Lea closed her eyes, trying to still her thoughts while she smiled inwardly for Dolen's continued wisdom only to blink back open the pupiless optics once again. There was a flux in the magical energies surrounding the woman...no...surrounding everything nearby.

At first she thought perhaps it was only the sensations of the sword's sentience in communication but even as the idea came to form in her mind, she understood it was different than that. With effort the ancient female pulled herself back to her feet, craning her head as her ears perked forwards, eyes scanning. Ah...yes....it came from there. Lea spread her wings and resettled them, feeling the wind teasing at the leathery skin that linked between the mighty limbs. Something had caused a disturbance along the shoreline....it was erratic, there one moment and gone the next like a sudden tear and burst.

Teleportation?

Lea watched the area keenly for several moments later before turning her eyes to Seagate. With a quick murmur she descended from her lofty perch once more under the guise she had become so accustomed to wearing did she arrive as the mists reformed along the ocean's lapping at the reaching sands. The tiny elven maiden knelt, probing her delicate fingers at a spot, feeling the lingering magical tingling left as residue. Someone had opened some sort of gate...blinking through and fast....Her silver brows pinched and she stood, clutching at her violet cloak as the winds tossed it about. Opalescent optics turned back to the castle nearby with a thoughtful expression. When at last Lady Lea snuck back into her room as she'd come from it...to settle down for rest her mind was left with active curiosity peaking moreso than it had when she'd arrived.
