Where the High Priest and High Priestess often spend much of their time when not tending to their various duties, this room of sumptuous fabrics and comfortable furniture is also where they meet with the Council and denizens of the realm (when the matter is important enough) in a less formal setting. |

Physical Description: Of average height for one of the visibly-blessed Esdar'ial, Ysaera is 5'7", and in possession of a lush and curvaceous form. Fair-skinned and delicate, with beautiful features and slightly pointed ears, she has long white hair and eyes that are grey, although the exact shade often varies with her emotions, from the brightest shining silver to the darkest iron that is nearly black. Most noticeable about her appearance is the set of great white-feathered wings that protrude from her back.

Clothes and Equipment: Given the difficulty of donning normal clothes with wings to consider, Ysaera has a tendency to wear rather revealing clothing, with a propensity for baring her back and shoulders. Given the perpetually warm climate of the Shaded Valley, the less clothing she wears, the better, usually in light airy fabrics of pale, cheery colors.

Ysaera entered the sitting room with @aztiel in tow, and looked around. Hmm. Elen wasn't there. Perhaps he was in the library. It was of no real consequence - she could do this without his assistance. She was the other ultimate voice of authority in the land, after all. Moving over to the desk against one wall, she sat, arranging her wings carefully around the chair's back, and plucked up a pen, pulling a piece of paper over. She began to write hastily, her flowing script adorning the page as she waited for Kin'Zik Tearney to arrive.
"The High Priest should be informed of this as soon as possible. This is momentous." The blend of excitement and fear she felt bled into the woman's tone as she wrote, speaking aloud both for her own benefit and to Aztiel. The man had always been particularly steadfast, and his grounding presence was a comfort.

Physical Description: Kin'Zik is a tall man standing at 6'3 with blond hair so light it is almost white. His eyes are a grey that borders on silver. His build is slender boarding on frail and although he isn't sickly he does lack strength. His features are delicate and a bit haughty, with a narrow jaw, piercing eyes, and high cheekbones.
-
Clothes and Equipment: An elaborate white robe trimmed with gold. Despite being only a Corenis within the priesthood, Kin'Zik's robes are finer than most of his fellows. He is evasive as to how he affords such things, but speculation does not paint a pretty picture. He also wield a staff which he uses to channel his magics.

Kin'Zik flounces into the sitting room after a few minutes. The Corenis looking as prim and proper as always. He sweeps into a low bow to the high priestess.
"Your grace. You sent for me?"
The priest doesn't wait for an invitation taking a seat casually. Slightly disrespectful, but he often took such liberties. Despite only being a Corenis he was the right hand of the ultimate authorities. It breed a certain arrogance into him even before those authorities.

Aztiel took an attentive stance in front of one of the pillars in the room, out of the way but able to see or respond to threats. He placed his hands behind his back and silently observed.

Ysaera looked up as Kin'Zik arrived, giving the man one of her customary warm smiles. Many described the High Priestess as motherly, despite her apparent youth, and that smile was just one of the reasons why. Lowering her gaze back to the page as she wrote, she explained why she'd had the man summoned as the other Temple Guard waited for further orders.
"Kin'Zik, wonderful. I have had a vision, sent from the Winged One. Something has happened, or is going to happen.. and it involves the Myst, and the Door. You are to see to it that this message gets to the garrison of Zanora Riders in the city immediately. I want the best force of Riders available to make for the Door as soon as possible. They are to watch for whatever emerges from it, and handle the situation accordingly - with force if the unknown is hostile, and if it is friendly, I want it brought to the city." Signing the missive, she dusted the sheet with sand to dry the ink, then blew it away. Folding up the paper, she melted a bit of silver sealing wax and poured it onto the sheet, before pressing her seal into it - a winged crown. Then the paper was handed to the priest.
"As soon as this has been done, wait for further orders. I must locate the High Priest and inform him of these events. Something strange and potentially wonderful is happening."

Kin'Zik's eyes open wide. A vision from the winged one himself? This was certainly a portentous day. The Corenis accepts the letter reverently. Getting to his feet he gives a short bow.
"Your will be done, your grace."
Then he hurries out of room. Instead of his normal flamboyant gait he walks with purpose. He could be serious if the occasion called for it.

"Excellent. Thank you, Kin'Zik." This was said just before the Corenis had a chance to depart, and then she relaxed back into the chair with a soft laugh, her hand falling over her fast-beating heart. This was the most excitement she'd had in quite some time! Looking up at Aztiel, she gave the man a small smile, her eyes sparkling with mirth and mischief.
"What do you think, Aztiel? If you were a High Priest, where would you be hiding?"

Less than an hour after he departed Kin'Zik returns to the sitting room. He offer her holiness a formal bow. Made only slightly awkward by the glass of wine in his hands. He straightens and say's with a self satisfied smile.
"I am please to inform her grave that her orders have been delivered and will be followed. Does she require anything else.of this humble servant."
He absently sips his wine and chuckles. Most wouldn't call Kin'Zik humble, but he was at least in front of his lord and lady. Being humble however didn't mean acting servile even if he was.

Ysaera was nursing a cup of tea when Kin'Zik returned. She'd relocated to one of the plush piles of cushions and was lounging comfortably with a book on her lap. Looking up at the priest, she gave him a small smile and shook her head.
"Unless you can manage to find the High Priest for me, no. Thank you, Kin'Zik. Go enjoy the rest of the day all to yourself.. we will have much work to do whenever the source of the vision becomes known."

"Unfortunately your grace, I haven't the foggiest idea where the high priest may be."
Kin'Zik says with a regretful sigh. The Winged Blade of Justice was a hard man to keep track of. With the dismissal given Kin'Zik thanks the high priestess and turns to leave. If he was going to enjoy himself he'd need to find someone to enjoy. Best to get to work on that.

Though Aztiel was addressed he made no greater reply than a simple shrug. He had little knowledge of what the high priest would be doing.
The man had maintained his position and stance from the time Kin'Zik left to the time he returned. Upon his return however Aztiel found grip on his weapon, relaxing after confirming his identity.
Aztiel watched the man leave. Perhaps Kin'zik should find the high priest despite his time off, but then Aztiel preferred the wishes of the Winged Crown of Grace to be fulfilled.

Ysaera sighed at Kin'Zik's reply, although it wasn't a disappointed sound - more one of amused resignation. Her counterpart was a bit hard to read, even for her, and predicting his behavior was an imprecise science at best. Tapping the tip of one index finger against the fine porcelain of her teacup, she pondered where to go from here. She could always send a servant to search for Elen, or go roaming in an attempt to find him herself, but she knew that if the High Priest didn't want to be found, he wouldn't be. In the end, she settled for looking at the servant hovering in a corner of the room and giving them a small smile.
"Please alert the staff to be on the lookout for the High Priest, and to inform him that I wish to speak with him if he is seen." The servant bobbed a quick curtsy and scuttled out into the hallway to do as the priestess asked, returning a few moments later. Ysaera had, by that time, returned to reading her book and sipping at her tea.

Physical Description: At 6' even, Elen is a hair above average height for an Esdaran. His build is solid but lithe, with brilliant blue eyes and black hair that goes about halfway down his back. He is often described as handsome, with his pointed ears and large white wings being very striking to those not similarly blessed.
Clothes and Equipment: Like all Esdar'ial, the combination of difficulty getting clothing over wings and the warm climate somewhat dictate Elen's clothing. In formal or combative situations he has armor (very lightly made for formal) that leaves the center of his torso bare (front and back for formal, just the back for combative) to allow those wings freedom of movement. Shoulders, forearms, legs and waist are all clad in plate for that armor, though. For the less formal and safe environment Elen often wears a simply-cut white Esdaran robe of silk (for comfort) and very light linen (to keep it opaque). That robe only covers one shoulder, much like a toga, and is fastened with an ornate badge of holy iconography.

It didn't take long for the staff to find Elen; he always told one of them where to find him, and when word spread inevitably they would let him know. Generally it was flying somewhere, overlooking Esdar's land and His people; this time he had just been on the roof. In any case it was only a few minutes before he was strolling nonchalantly into that sitting room, clad in his informal robes and looking as stoic as ever -- an effect only slightly spoiled by the slight smirk for a moment as he entered.
"I heard you were looking for me, Ysaera?" His tone was as neutral as his expression, other than the slight inflection of interest.

She could nearly feel Elen as he approached. Their auras were so attuned, after so many years together, that she could very nearly sense him as he got closer. She looked up when the door opened and smiled as she saw Elen. Her excitement was obvious as she set aside her now-empty teacup and her book and clambered to her feet, ruffling her wings and causing the feathers to fluff slightly as she did so.
"Elen, something amazing has happened. I had a vision while I was in the gardens. I saw a great, terrible creature made of the Myst. But then it disappeared, destroyed in a blast of light. And then I saw the Door.. I saw the fabric of the portal rippling, as though something were going to come through it. I believe this vision has already come to pass, or will soon, and that we should expect visitors from another place. I have sent Kin'Zik with orders to dispatch an extra amount of troops to the Door, to be prepared, just in case."

Aztiel's curiosity was at last answered. A pleased look came upon his face about satisfying his curiosity with patience. However he reflected upon her words in silence. He was not sure whether to be excited or fearful toward the future. Then again, Esdara had these two to guide them.

Elen's face remained mostly neutral, betraying only a hint of mingled interest and concern, but his wings twitched, almost fluttering -- the impulse to move, quickly stifled. Presumably to marshal their defenses. "Visitors? Are you sure the creature was destroyed?"

Ysaera nodded firmly in response, beaming up at her husband and lover.
"Yes. I saw it and the Myst obliterated in light and fire. I do not know what defeated it, but I saw something attempting to come through the Door. I believe it is who or whatever destroyed it. I know, that does not necessarily mean it will be friendly to us, which is why I dispatched Kin'Zik with orders to have a squad of Riders and infantry supplement the honor guard already stationed there."

"...well, it seems you have taken the necessary precautions. I expect this will be a momentous event for us." Elen smiled back at Ysaera, his expression even then rather... serene. Elen had, with his years of service, acquired that almost saintly demeanor. He maintained it even in her presence partially because it was beginning to feel completely natural, and partly to prod her. Still, he was clearly happy with her and content with the situation; he, just as she, knew better than to attempt deception.

"I had to act quickly, as I could not seem to find the man who should have ordered the command to marshal troops." Her tone was as sweet and calm as ever, but there was still an undertone (that likely only Elen himself could detect) of chastisement. It was also joined by a slightly arched brow as her lips curved into a smile that verged on teasing. Her way of prodding back at him, as he knew full well how it needled her when he kept that neutral demeanor in her presence. She would have to forcibly shake him out of it later, in private, a thought that brought a glimmer of heat and mirth to her gaze.
"Regardless, it has been handled.. for now. I expect a report back at any time. We should prepare accordingly. Guard Aztiel - please step outside. Make sure the High Priest and I are not disturbed."

Aztiel bowed and moved to her command, stepping outside the room and shutting the door behind him. He took his new position in front of the door. His arms behind his back and his chest stuck out proudly doing his duty.
