Thread: The Miracle of Defiance (Starring Lorelai Dannehur and Erit of Eastcris)

Lorelai listened without interruption to Irasel's explanation. Once he was done Lorelai took a few moments to ponder over everything he'd told her before replying, So lemme get this straight. You wish to find an apprentice so you can go off and die somewhere? If you want me to even so much as consider signin' that contract, then I'll need an oath from you to make sure I'm fully trained and we've got a replacement lined up for me whenever I decide to finally kick the bucket. Think you can do that? Lorelai hoped she was doing the right thing by putting her trust in him. It was still a wary trust, but trust nonetheless. She just hoped he wasn't one of the types who had every intention to follow through with their promises only to fall short and land in disappointment instead. At his remark that she seemed distrustful, Lorelai gave a shrug as she replied, When you live a life on the streets you learn not to trust everyone ye meet. That could easily turn fatal as there are plenty o' folk who wouldn't hesitate in takin' advantage o' that trust. Anyway, yer a complete stranger so o' course I'm gonna be wary. Lorelai raised an eyebrow and wondered if Irasel had grown so bored with the world he'd made himself a recluse if he was that far behind in the times. Yep, things have definitely changed if ye come from that far back. Nowadays Lorelai's mainly a girl's name and it's awful rare for a boy to have it. Any boy caught with the name now is ridiculed for havin' the name of a girl. Only reason I kept me name even when I had to disguise meself as a boy was 'cause it felt like givin' up part o' me identity if I tried goin' by Daniel or somethin' o' the like. Lorelai actually grinned and gave an amused snicker at Irasel's complaints about the town forgetting who he was after a hundred years. Ye can't really blame'em, usually folk only live te seventy or eighty. That's only if they're lucky, most die in their forties or fifties what with all the diseases goin' round and everythin'. Maybe everyone assumed ye'd died and they're payin' someone else fer their rent?

He sighed, giving a patient smile to the little girl who was so ignorant of the ways of magic. The detriments of fragile mortality aside. I will promise you that I will share all my knowledge of magic, all my skill in sorcery, and any other wisdom you may request, and trained you to your fullest potential, long before I even consider leaving you to your duties. However, I cannot promise you your second request I had to wait eight hundred years to find you, little one, and unless you're fortunate you won't find your apprentice for a few decades at the least... I suppose I could fashion a few Servants to keep you company after I'm gone, though. He locked his eyes onto hers, a very small plea in them alongside a flicker of hope. If you like, you can even stay here for a day or two while you consider it, and I'll care for you. I'm certain you have no reason to object that , as last I checked most any human liked being catered to.

Lorelai frowned thoughtfully and absently chewed on her lower lip with her eyes closed and her arms crossed over her chest, utterly absorbed in her own thoughts as she carefully weighed the pros and cons of Irasel's offer in her head. On the one hand, if she accepted and signed the contract it would certainly open up quite a number of possibilities for her not only would she learn magic which admittedly Lorelai found a fascinating prospect, she would get a roof over her head and regular meals if Irasel turned out to be true to his word at taking her in. It sounded like this was a long-term deal so she definitely wouldn't have to worry anymore about fending for herself or where her next meal was coming from. It seemed the only downside was Irasel warned her he'd die someday, which confused her since he'd claimed to be immortal, and then she'd be stuck looking for her own replacement. That was pretty much Lorelai's only worry as she couldn't help thinking of the possibility that she might grow emotionally attached to Irasel like she'd done with her previous guardian who she had thought of as a second father. Lorelai had already lost her parents along with her friend and mentor. She wasn't sure she'd be able to handle losing someone close to her for a third time. As she came to a decision, Lorelai opened her eyes and let out a long sigh of resignation as she stated, Alright, I'll do it. Just don't make me wear any dresses, that's all I ask. They're hard to breathe and move around in so I don't like'em! I like the outdoors so anythin' I wear is bound te get dirty anyway, so that's one o' the reasons why I like wearin' boys' clothes. Nobody cares if those get dirty. Lorelai paused a moment to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything before adding, And I enjoy me freedom an' bein' independent. I'm thankful to ye fer wantin' to bring me into yer home an' givin' me food, but I don't think I'd like bein' catered to very much. I got two hands o' me own so if I feel I need somethin' I'll get it meself, and if I think it's necessary I'll ask for yer permission first. So...think we got a deal? I just need te draw me personal symbol, right?

Aw, and here I was looking forward to seeing you in a ball gown. Alas. I will, however, see you in finer attire than that if I have my way. And perhaps get you to speak with a bit more refinement than mortalkin. He nodded, and the paper and quill proffered themselves to Lorelai. Indeed, little fox, simply make your mark and you will be safe forevermore. You will have plenty to eat and drink, comfortable clothes to wear, a warm bed to sleep in, a compendium of near-boundless knowledge at your disposal, and the world at your fingertips. A very generous bargain, I must say. He smiled at her, waving his hand. Go ahead, sign. On my honor, you get to keep your soul and virginity... unless you want to get rid of them. He waited a breath. Two breaths I jest, he finally said, of course.

Lorelai gave an amused snort and rolled her eyes as she stated, Me? In a ball gown? Not in this lifetime, mate. She gave a casual shrug at Irasel's wanting to see her in finer clothes and replied, So long as I ain't gotta wear dresses I won't complain. I'll just keep me old clothes for muckin' about outdoors then. While Irasel rattled off his promises of good things to come, Lorelai's brow furrowed in concentration as she very carefully drew out her own personal trademark of a fox wearing a mask and cape with a sword strapped about its waste. Lorelai may not have learned how to read and write, but she had been able to teach herself how to draw and enjoyed playing lively tunes on her hand carved wooden flute whenever she got the chance. Once she finished, Lorelai looked up as Irasel was mentioning all the knowledge she'd have at her disposal and blushed as she shyly admitted, Well, I...I would indeed like te improve meself. Maybe even learn how to read'n write. I just never had a chance te learn anythin' other than how te survive up till now. She grinned and had a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she hit upon a sudden idea. Say, would ye mind if I nipped out real quick and paid that lyin' weasel what hired me a visit? I'd like te take that sack o' gold I'd been promised right from his room while he's asleep, that ought to teach'im! Her grin quickly vanished as she glared daggers at Irasel for his crude sense of humor. That AIN'T funny! I'm very attached te both and perfectly happy with'em, thank ye very much. Thanks to his crude comment, Lorelai was seriously pondering the idea of sleeping with one eye open with her hand resting next to a frying pan in case he tried anything funny.

He spluttered with a short fit of his musical laughter, though this time it only lasted long enough for a heartbeat to pass. Most certainly, Apprentice, you may. I can even Send you there something in the way he spoke the word made the air reverberate with the faintest hint of power as well it should, for Sending was one of the first spells any Wizard learned, and one of the most useful. A flick of the wrist, and no longer was the subject here, but there, all in the space of an eyeblink. Sadly, Wizards could not directly effect themselves with most magics, and Call you back, if you wish. Or simplify matters and Call the man in question, purse and all. He should have known better than to try crossing a Sorcerer, really. He smiled, Either way, would you like a hot meal before or after this little endeavour? He thought towards his own stomach in saying that, remembering there had been another reason he had awoken and decided it no longer necessary why attempt to Scry for his future apprentice when she was standing right in front of him?

Lorelai grinned as Irasel agreed to her idea, but cheerfully shook her head at his offer to assist, Thanks, but I won't be long. I'll be back in half an hour tops, and b'sides I enjoy th' run. I'd like te eat when I get back if that's alright with ye, but ye go on ahead now if yer hungry. Ye don't need te wait on me. Lorelai was out of the house like a shot and quickly morphed into a black crow before winging her way back toward town. True to her word, Lorelai was back in half and hour and grinning from ear to ear as she playfully tossed her newly acquired sack of gold in the air before catching it again. Lorelai positively beamed as she gloated, That ol' goat didn't even know what hit'im! Can ye believe he had one o' the cheapest locks on his chest money could buy? It only took a quick try with a bit o' wire te get it te open b'fore I shut th' chest again neat as ye please. 'E won't suspect nothin' till he notices one o' his bags're missin'. Oh, I hope I get te see th' look on his face then! Say, think we can pay him a visit tomorrow and tell'im th' good news that I'm now yer apprentice? Seein' as he hired me te snoop on ye, I fgure he's got a right te know. Lorelai gave Irasel another of her mischievous grins while her eyes danced with playful humor.

Lorelai's eyes grew round in complete amazement as she watched Irasel stomp on the floor to summon up a table complete with enough food to feed a small army in Lorelai's personal opinion. Oh my...how'd ye do that, if ye don't mind me askin'? I hope we're not takin' food offa someone else's table. Lorelai figured all that food had to come from somewhere . Surely there was no way it could've been hiding all this time under the floorboards just waiting to be eaten. However, that didn't stop her mouth from practically watering as the tempting smells of good food filled her nose. At Irasel's bidding she gladly took a seat and started filling her plate with a chicken leg, potatoes, small roll, salad greens and a small bunch of grapes. Content with water to drink, Lorelai picked up her fork and set to eating her food with quiet enthusiasm. She'd been taught enough in table manners by her previous guardian to know how much it was polite to put in one's mouth at a time and to always chew with the mouth closed, but as soon as Lorelai finished thoroughly chewing one morsel it was quickly replaced by another. She'd just finished everything on her plate and was reaching for seconds as Irasel mentioned her new room. When he mentioned presents for her Lorelai was so overwhelmed at everything he was doing for her she only managed to stutter in a feeble protest, Oh, but-but sir! That...that's much too much! Ye don't have te do all this for me, really!

He chuckled softly as she gave the expected reaction of awe. As I said, he smiled to her, a glass of steaming cider appearing in his outstretched hand at the snap of his fingers for him to sip from as he spoke, what a Wizard would name as an act of some god or goddess, I name a parlor trick. All of this, he gestured about to the food, the table, the house and everything in it, with but a handful of exceptions, are the result of such parlor tricks. The power of a Sorcerer stems from defiance of the laws of nature, of the subversion of 'truth' and 'lie'. If I felt so inclined, I could have made my home in a flying castle made of gold with diamonds for windows. This food did not come from anywhere, and neither did any of your welcoming presents. I simply made them. He smiled again at her, this one more gentle and... well, it was the kind of smile one shares with a person they truly care for. And he did truly care for Lorelai, in spite of how little he knew her, for in accepting the contract she had given him a greater gift than he could ever truly repay. Now hush, Apprentice, and let your Master spoil you a little, else I might be temped to give you a Servant on top of it all. He chuckled at the thought in all likelihood she would hate having a Servant, always trying to do everything for her and let her relax, trying nonstop to please her in every way. Irasel did not use them often, because he found it distasteful to play God in the manufacturing of life simply to be able to lay about all day or to satisfy some primitive desire. Granted, there are some things which Wizards have a simpler time of, which is why I will teach you a blend of techniques. Perhaps we shall start with some letters and speech, though. What would you like?

Lorelai listened with rapt attention to Irasel's explanation of conjuring while she worked on her second plate of food, but couldn't help the amused giggle that slipped past her mouthful of food at the image of Irasel going around in a golden castle with diamond windows. She found the image ridiculously extravagant and it didn't seem to fit Irasel's tastes if she compared a flashy, attention-grabbing golden castle to everything else in his house. She blushed and suddenly felt shy at the warm and caring gaze he bestowed on her. Not sure where to look under such attention, Lorelai averted his gaze and returned her attention to her plate until he mildly threatened to give her a servant. As Irasel predicted, Lorelai's face was scrunched up in distaste at the mere thought of a servant following her around which made her look as though she'd eaten something particularly sour. In clipped tones that clearly expressed her disapproval Lorelai simply replied, No. Thank. Ye. That's where I draw the line. I'm perfectly happy without a servant, so if it's all the same te ye, I think I'll pas on that one. Lorelai presently finished off her second plate and, feeling warm and sleepy she absently propped her face in her hand while fighting to keep her eyes open. While Irasel talked about possibly teaching her letters and how to speak properly, Lorelai absently mumbled in response, Aye...I'd...like that...very much. Only shortly after finishing her sentence, Lorelai slumped back in her chair with one arm dangling over the back while Lorelai emitted soft snores that showed she was already out like a light.

He gave a bemused chuckle at her snoring, setting his glass down and rising from his seat with a subtle, graceful flourish. He tucked his arms under his Apprentice's legs and shoulders, lifting her small frame from the chair as he dismissed the entire dining set. He held the girl close to him as he carried her into her room, laying her down, taking off her boots and cloak and fluffing her pillows before tucking the covers under her. Twenty she may be, but as his Apprentice she was still, in some ways, like an adopted daughter to him. He swept some stray hair out of her eyes, and with a whispered Dream of happiness, little one he wove an enchantment for peaceful slumber over his charge, before snuffing out the candle as he left. Himself, Irasel went outside for a moment, looking to the stars. After a moment of searching, he found a constellation known largely as The Lady, though he knew it as the Crown Of Eventise. It was said that the Crown was comprised of the spirits of all the world's greatest heroes, starting with Jesin of Nezzare. He remembered it still, when his Master announced her aid no longer required she dissolved into so many particles of pure magic, and once it was all over Irasel watched as a new star blinked into existence along the Crown Of Eventise. He spoke to that star, sometimes, and thought of his old love. Today, he spoke for a similar reason. You were right, Ea. I have found them. And soon enough, I will join you up there. Just wait for me a little while longer... He yawned softly, shaking his head back and forth to fend off drowsyness as he went back inside and upstairs to his own rooms, where he changed into more comfortable sleeping attire before climbing into bed for himself. He awoke at dawn, and got himself out of bed before changing into day attire. He descended the stairs as he did every day, with nothing ahead of hum. And then he noticed the new door in his living room, and suddenly he remembered. He allowed himself a small smile, flicking his wrist at the center of the living room and calling up a hearty breakfast for his young guest to enjoy when she eventually awoke, sitting in his plush reading chair and resuming his umpteenth re-read of Life As The Living . The Archmage's apprentice had just set fire to her robes, and was trying desperately to hide from her friend lest he get to admire her fully-formed body with nary a stitch across it. It was a book for the more mature reader, for certain, but the interactions between the characters and their environments were quite amusing.

Lorelai slowly drifted back into the realm of consciousness from her warm comfortable fog of sleep. She wasn't really used to getting a decent amount of sleep which only made her feel more groggy when she woke up. The fact she found herself in such a soft comfortable bed didn't help her current state either as she found the cocoon of warmth very tempting to the point she actually drifted in and out of wakefulness for another hour before finally becoming alert enough to reluctantly pry herself from her fluffy pillow and get out of bed. Once she was up and about, Lorelai gazed in complete awe around the room she found herself in as she deduced this must be the room Irasel had prepared for her that he had mentioned last night. Everything looked like top quality from the books to the paper and ink complete with its quill pen set, Lorelai felt like such a filthy dust rag in comparison that she was afraid to touch anything for fear of leaving dirty fingerprints. The clothes he'd picked out for her simply took her breath away with their vibrant colors and elegant designs. They looked very comfortable and thankfully not a dress was to be seen among them which meant he'd actually paid attention when Lorelai had voiced her abhorrence for wearing dresses. She wasn't aware he'd actually hidden one deeper inside her closet. Completely overwhelmed with the kindness of her new benefactor, Lorelai rushed from the room out into the living area. Once she clapped eyes on Irasel, Lorelai impulsively threw her arms around his neck and sobbed, Th-thank ye! Everythin's so-so beautiful! Y-Ye really outdid yerself, ye didn't have te! Yer too kind, just...thank ye!

The sudden rush left Irasel in a daze as he was suddenly onset by a warm pleasure, starting at his neck and slowly beginning to creep through the rest of him. He looked down to see a pair of fox ears peeking out of a head of curled, rust-red hair and smiled, patting the young woman's head gently as he put down his book, Now, now, Apprentice. I like to keep my word, and I said I would shelter you and see you in finer clothing. He chuckled softly, cupping her slightly dirty chin in his slim, fair fingers, clean and smooth from years of care. He tilted her head back to look his charge in the eye, speaking in a soft but authoritative tone. And don't you ever worry about your next meal or rest again. If you do I might just have to give you a palace! He laughed a little at the thought of Lorelai living in such an extravagant court as that seemed a comical impossibility. Now, hush and go eat your breakfast. After that, I'll draw a nice hot bath for you so you can get changed, and then we'll go to town. The world deserves to know it has a young and attractive new Sorcerer waiting in the wings, and that stranger you mention deserves my thanks for earlier this morning. He chuckled, And rest assured, I won't peek while you're washing or dressing.
Thread: Repentance the Sin-(Avengers) Moon/Addie13

It was just an average day for the people in Chicago, just another normal average day. The hospitals where even having a calm day, not a whole lot of people needed the emergency services, maybe that was why everyone noticed when the Ambulance came, with the half naked young man inside. Some of them might even recognize him from video feed after the massive battle in Manhattan. It had gone worldwide, the story of the Avengers and the massive battle to protect the earth from alien invaders. Loki Laufeyson, Prince of the Frost Giants, traitor of Asgard, trickster god and would be ruler of Midgaurd. He was in pitiful shape to say the least, though what he was doing back on Midgaurd was a mystery. Not even S.H.E.I.L.D or the Avengers knew he was there. No warning had been given that Loki had escaped, been released, or been banished. It was probably only luck that he hadn't previously been discovered. It was hard to look at the young God, who was so pale he was white, and not feel sorry for him. He was filthy, covered in dirt and muck, his hair was in dirty tangles around his shoulders. He had clearly not bathed in well over a week, though he didn't stink, thank goodness. He was missing his shirt, showing large bruises across his shoulders and back and belly. As if he had been letting someone hit him where it would hurt the most. The most shocking thing though, was the fact that he had clearly slit his own wrists, and they where still bleeding, as was his neck, where he had tried, and failed to slit that too. He was staring with blank eyes of emerald green... which was wrong. The one honest picture everyone had of Loki, his eyes had been a pale icy blue hadn't they? It took well over four hours to stabilize him. To get his heart beating properly. They'd had to resuscitate him three times, and every time he was conscious... he told them with a dead voice, to leave him alone so he could die in peace and finally pay for his crimes. It was clear to anyone who worked on him, that the rumors of Loki being bat-shit insane was true, and so when he was finally stable, he was moved into the high security mental ward, mostly because they weren't sure if he was a danger to others as well as himself. He woke slowly and sighed as he realized he wasn't in the depths of the endless abyss that he had expected to end up in when he died, and he wasn't in Hel either. Which meant he was not dead, and he had not paid for his crimes. He was laying on a bed, and his very sore wrists, where chained very tightly to the bed-handles. His chest, hips, and legs where strapped down too, making sure he couldn't even so much as twitch, which meant he could neither try again, nor hurt anyone else. Little did anyone know, S.H.I.E.L.D now new the Godling was on earth, and they had sent someone to investigate as soon as Loki was admitted into the hospital.
