Snippet #1298218

Something alerted her to Dugon's being awake and her eyes slipped from Tess to his face as he seemed to awaken from a cat nap. Had he been resting this long? she wondered, she wished she could sleep, but they had things to do. Rising to stand once more she nodded. "I agree. The people will be in a state of fear, we are the gem wielders it is time we do as our duty calls us to do. Along the way I am sure we shall learn more of our powers and how the gems will benefit us. I second Tess' idea to go to the capital." They all had to agree to disagree she supposed and with the group they had, it was a group of opinions. "What is the best way to get to the capital?" she asked. She'd never been and she was interesting in hearing how they'd get there. She inched her way closer to Sydo, if there was something she'd seen in his eyes it reassured her he not only was trustworthy, but the glimmer that was hidden there showed he cared far more than just as someone he'd just met.

Smiling some she kept the blush at bay and pulled her attention back to the group. If she got the chance she'd have to talk to Sydo and learn more about him as well as he learn more about her. Sorians were odd to others, their cultures and beliefs were intriguing to say the least, but could sway someone from being with them unless they were Sorian as well. She'd voiced her opinions on changing the traditions to more practical practices, but the council had bitterly thrown out the idea. When she'd pressed the issue it landed her with an infliction she'd cared not to have and one that would prove problematic in her future. Her hand rose slowly to touch the soft blue lines on her face, these markings were embedded with magic, it was only a matter of time before its affects began. Her eyes slowly lowered to stare at the ground as a memory flashed over her, and a small wave of pain rushed through her skull causing her to gasp for air and clutch her forehead. Wincing some Raiyla turned away from the group to recover.
