Out in the vast expanse of nothing there sits a strange bubble. Within the bubble stands a modest building atop a terrace and courtyard. There's not much in the way of decoration to any of this, merely a few tables and other outdoor furnishings. It wouldn't seem out of the ordinary, were it not for the nothingness of the outer reaches.
Below the platform, outside of the bubble, is a large orb of glowing energy with swirls of colorful light, overtly pulsing with magical energy, yet strangely benign and soothing. In a partition to the side of the platform is a walled off section housing a series of light pillars with a gateway to a larger central platform. Within the larger platform, itself, stands the aforementioned building and its courtyard. As of yet, there is little of note aside from the furniture and an attempt to make the area inviting with plants and vegetation and a floating orb of light to approximate daylight. On the opposite edge from the partition, leads a passage to a queerly more secluded area. At one of the tables in the courtyard, two men and a woman are sitting. The men appear to be playing a game, while the woman - a harpy with vibrant wings - appears to be slumped over on the table, her wings shimmering and changing colors as the light dances across her feathers as she breathes. Neither of the men - a smaller man clad in black and blue and a larger man in a green trench coat - seem to be paying her mind, instead choosing to be more intently minding their game of cards sprawled across the space on the table between them, with them chattering inanely to themselves. Nearby, a smaller harpy girl, far younger than the one slumped over the table, sits on the porch of the structure with her nose buried in the pages of a book. There is a noticeable dusting of what appears to be snow in her immediate vicinity. Near the edge of the courtyard stands yet another bird, this time, a boy. He is even younger than the girl. He stares out into the expansive nothingness overlooking the magical orb below. From the darkness of the secluded area of the platform, a woman's voice calls out, "Reyn, be careful about how close to the edge you're standing. I know that you know it's warded, but I still want you to be cautious." The boy sighs and grumbles as snapping and crackling is heard from him while a series of sparks seem to fly from him, wreathing his figure in lightning. He steps back and calls out, "Yes, Aunt Cai." |

The man in blue suddenly slaps the cards in his hand onto the table and declares, "Ha! Take that, Aren! I win another round!"
With a look of smug satisfaction, he continues, "Read 'em and weep!" |

The larger man in green gasps a sharp intake of breath as his friend gloats.
"Oh, come on, Zarik!" he groans, "There's no possible way you pulled that one out!" Shuffling through the cards on the table and looking at what appears to be notes on the game, it's clear Arendal is at a loss to come up with a reason that Zarik is wrong about his supposition. With a sigh, he adds, "You know, this doesn't make any sense. Nothing about this game's design makes any sense!" |

The small girl on the porch closes her book and looks over at the arguing adults.
Raising an eyebrow and hugging the book to her chest, she asks, "What are you even playing Dad? Uncle Aren?" |

The woman laying on the table jumps at Zarik slamming the table. With a flash of red across her wings and eyes, she shrieks, "What in the hell is going on?"
Turning her attention to Zarik, she continues, "You knew I started falling asleep! Why did you do that!?" Seeing the boy at the edge of the platform, she calls out, "Come over here, Reyn. We've told you multiple times to stay away from the edge." |

The boy nods and replies as he walks over, his talons making a light clacking against the paving stones, "I know, Mom. Aunt Cai was just saying about that." smirking, he adds, "Right before Dad woke you."
Looking to the dark edge of the platform, where the woman's voice came from, he asks, "Why doesn't she come out and spend time with us, instead of yelling at me from the shadows?" Taking a seat between his parents at the table, he gaze back to where he was standing, "What's even down there? I can't help but watch it." |

The source of the voice that called to Reyn emerges from the shadowed area, a woman walks out. She is visibly tired and has an air of dishevelment to her hair and attire.
"I've told you before, Reyn." She says with a yawn, "Though I guess it's hard to grasp as a child so young. It's the magic I reclaimed from a battle a long time ago that I'm trying to put to use." The area, indeed, resonated with an energy identical to this woman. |

Some distance outside the bubble, in the darkness, a portal suddenly opens. Out steps a silver-haired elf. He's wearing a black robe with ornate golden trims on the edges aswell as on the edge of the hood. The inner garment has a belt attached with a handful of hanging on the sides, containing various powders or ingredients. There's also a dagger in a scabbard hanging on his right. Tied to his back is a longsword and a staff with a dragon's head and an ornate gem in one of its eyes, in their respective scabbars and attachments in an X shaped fashion.
Bel: (Oh, whoops. I ended up outside the barrier. No matter.) With but a though, the Wizard *blinks* into the barrier and onto the courtyard, close to where the others are gathered. Upon a closer inspection, the others may notice headphones on Bel's head, tailored for his ears. As he walks up to them, he takes them off a puts them in a bag. Bel: Hey. How're you guys doing then? -Looking at Caionna, he immediately picks up on her exhausted disposition.- Bel: And...you look like you need some rest, to be honest. How long have you been at it, anyway? ____________________  There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou! |

Caionna walks to the table and sits opposite of Neris. Resting her face on her closed hand, she replies at length, "I'm... not entirely sure how long I've been focusing this time. Everything just blends together after a while." |

Reyn's interest piques as he sees Bel. He hops off his chair and scurries over to the elf.
Poking at the man's abdomen and excitedly sparkling with electricity, he hurriedly exclaims, "Uncle Bel! Uncle Bel! What'd you bring us today!" |

Without missing a beat, Neris follows her overly excited child. Not exactly to greet the newcomer, but to wrangle the boy before he gets on anyone's nerves.
Scooping Reyn up by pinning his wings to his side and carrying him back to the table, setting him on her lap. The boy flails in vain and grumbles as his sparks flare into tiny bursts of flame in reaction to his mother's coronal heat. "Sorry about him, Bel." She says as she wrestles with Reyn's flailing, "You know how he gets around you." |

Zarik gets up form his seat and starts dismissively sliding the area of table space in front of him before walking over to Neris as she struggles to hold their son. Putting his hand on the boy's head, ignoring the bursts of flame the two of them are putting off, he says, "Calm down, bud. Give your mom a break, and your uncle some time to breathe. He only just got back!"
Turning his attention to the elf, he says, "Though, I am curious about anything that might be happening wherever you were." |

Sylvie stands and makes her way over to where Zarik was sitting moments ago. She sets her book down in the freshly cleared area of the table as she quietly observes the adults as they interact. |

Aren notices Sylvie walk over and silently motions her to him. He also scoots her book out of the way as he begins organizing the things that were haphazardly shoved aside. |

Bel: It's not really a big deal, Neris. -Bel says as he walks over to where Caionna sits and takes a seat next to her, also taking care not to mention that he didn't think to bring any gifts this time so as to not making the kids disappointed. Perhaps it's unavoidable but at least it's just temporary.-
Bel: That's not good. You're losing track of time pretty badly, it seems. Is there anything I could do to help? I could give you some of my magic energy but I doubt that'd would help much since you're exhausted from long-time use. Speaking of that...the orb below couldn't do it? Given its nature, it should already be doing it. -Awaiting a response, he walks inside the building to unload some of his stuff, including his headphone bag, next to the entrance and comes back out momentarily.- Bel: Sorry about that. Just dropped off some of my things. ____________________ There is nothing that can stand against my Zankantou! |

"It's not that simple, Bel." Caionna states, "I need to focus so that the energy doesn't disperse. It requires me to keep an eye on it so that the elements can separate and do what needs done."
Her head drops slightly as she fights nodding off in order to continue explaining, "I'm sorry, it's just so taxing." |

"I get that you're set on this idea." Arendal interjects, "But why don't you set up a crystal array or something that automates the focus for you? You ought to be able to pull something like that off, given your ability and the skills that the res of us can lend you."
He motions particularly to himself and Zarik, then shrugs, saying, "We're not just handymen, y'know." |

"That's all well and good, Aren." Zarik responds, "But you know how she is. Independent to a fault. It's something of a family failing. You know that." He motions to Reyn in Neris' lap, visibly annoyed, but behaving.
"She's not exactly wont to asking for help." He adds as he turns his gaze to his dozing sister, putting on an air to lightly mock her, "'It's my duty, and my duty alone.'" shaking his head and returning to his own snarky deadpan, "Even if it threatens to kill her." Turning his attention back to Bel, he says, "Either you ignored my request for news of home, or there's nothing to report. I'd say 'no news is good news,' but you know how conniving the dragons have been lately. Trying to subvert their way into just about anything. I know they've gotten their claws into Ada even deeper since We left, and they keep trying to slip their way into Twem. Who's to say they won't try to weasel into Copley?" |

Neris has been more focused on calming Reyn down to pay much attention to the conversation as it begins to unfold, seemingly stuck on Bel's response, she says, "It really is, though. Reyn needs to realize that he can't just do to others what he gets mad at the girls for doing to him."
Preempting protest from the boy, she quickly adds, "You don't like how everyone wants your attention, and you get angry about it. How do you think Bel feels when you jump on him like the girls do to you?" |

Reyn grunts and fusses against his mother, trying in vain to rebel against her grasp, gentle though it is.
He heaves a sigh at her lecture, saying, "I know. But why is it always such a big deal when I do it, but not when they do it to me?" The look she gives him in response just says 'because you know better.' With another grunt in displeasure, he wriggles his way out of Neris' hold and plops to the floor. Scurrying to his sister, he says, "This is boring. Let's go play, Sylvie!" while grabbing her arm and tugging her toward the facade of the building. |
