Serenity and Elise made their peace offering of course. They already had a plan set up, though who knows if it would be up to Winter's taste or not. Lissie was definitely an odd nickname though, it hit her head strangely. Most people simply called her El, a nice elegant way to shorten her already high class name. "As long as the plan that we discussed works accordingly, we should be fine." Serenity nodded, a silly grin on her face. Their plan was modest and far from extravagant, but it was still going to be a bridal shower nonetheless. The rest of the dinner was good and caln, and after thanking Winter for the dinner, they returned back to Zeus's palace, watching an awkward interaction between father and daughter. Zeus looked as if he had been struggling. The loss of Iris was hard, but he was surviving.
That moment remained in her mind. When she and Zeus were both dying in the cemetery together. When Elise went off to die against Arke, and Zeus found the will to continue living and fighting on. They shared a glance, that moment striking strong between them. She gave him a slight nod and his mouth twitched in acknowledgment. They were still dealing with the trauma of that day. "I am glad you survived." He said after Serenity and Winter went on ahead to their rooms. Elise raised an eyebrow, feeling strange as he echoed the words back to her. "Did not plan to." She admitted, remembering her fatal wounds of that day. "But I am here now." Stiffly, Elise returned to her room, glancing towards the grey nightstand by the bed. There was a tiny little mechanical mouse, holding a note. "It is ready." A faint smile rose on her face. "Thank you, Svarog. You never fail to deliver."
Morning came then and Serenity was grinning from ear to ear. "Well? Let's go get it ready!" She was already dressed and Elise was donning her clothes that nearly glowed. In fact, her eyes were glowing slightly. "El, your..." Serenity blinked in surprise and the black eagle frowned. "Your eyes. They are brighter than before." Serenity looked at her face in surprise. "You have a wing. You might grow another." It was sticking out awkwardly in her cape. It felt so natural that Elise did not even notice she had it. "These are likely the physical changes to bring about our true selves since becoming Heirs." Elise explained it away quickly. It made her wonder if Winter was changing at all either - though since it was over a year, perhaps she already completed her change. Svarog had horns, Arke's hair was rainbow, Ame's hair was almost like flowing water.
A strange ark was produced, a boat made of sunlight. "This will kill my eyes to look at." Elise sighed, closing her eyes. "This is the Dawn Ark." Serenity explained, beaming. "We'll ride the dawn to the workshop!" Flying in the sky following the arc of the sunrise, they arrived at Mount Thietmar, where Svarog was waiting. "Here. Enjoy your shower." He grinned, clearly drunk out of his mind. "Thank you very much!" Serenity waved, taking the device. Elise glanced at it, looking into the inner machinations for a moment. "It should work as needed. I hope Winter will enjoy the gift." They could not exactly ride the dawn back to Zeus's Palace, since it could only fly in one direction. Elise rolled her eyes, clapping her hands. There was a sudden gust of wind, blowing them high into the air. Serenity began to scream, clinging to her skirt.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" She screeched, flailing in the air. "I am hoping we land safe and sound back at the palace." Elise explained calmly. She was gambling, and it paid off as they somehow through sheer coincidence, landed on the cloud portion of the palace, soft and comfy, cushioning the landing. "Never do that again." Serenity brushed at her skirt, giggling. They returned indoors, hoping to rush back to their beds to pretend they had never gone out at all for when Winter woke up and called them up for breakfast.
