A year later...

Tirelessly traveling about her ports, Arcane follows her small entourage through the Parisian airport and quickly into the awaiting SUV. She cherished the city that shaped her into the Goddess of persuasive seduction. A whole world of sultry sorts riddling under these ancient cobbled stones. She had left the highlands quicker than scheduled for a little rejuvenating fun before her meetings in the small ports bordering the Mediterranean Sea. A long overdue run in that she planned in the matter of weeks with Onyx's generous help.

Red sunset blanketed the beautiful Eiffel Tower before the two SUV's entered the golden gates adorn with Calla lilies. Comforted by the last memories she spent in Paris with a beautiful woman, she quickly sweeps into her chambers to watch the last remaining of the sun's light.

Riddled by the thought of Talia's hair truly illuminated like a bonfire as she languished on the balcony. The woman was the sunset she chased every evening on the back of a mare, at the back porch overlooking the lake, even on the edge of the mountain before the moon invaded the view. Locking the memories back into her mind, Theo surveys the time and smiles. Slipping through the dark Victorian streets, Theodora's hands thrum with anticipation as she tucks the lovely wedding presents into her inside pocket for an old friend.

An hour later Theo sits waiting in the shadows as the single light oculus gleams down on four beautiful rarities that she had possessed from wealthy admirers and her own pleasures. The news of the gems being displayed in the wondrous Louvre museum spread like wildfire. It's unfortunate that the special invitation was only directed to the very spark of her thievery, The Aureolus Lily.

Just as predicted, her eyes glow radiant as the slight click of the roof's hatch sounded in a bare wisp. Retreating further with her back against the wall, she watch the woman descend in a flurry like a bonfire she was. Coal eyes beam with excitement till the rope carried not one but two devilishly beautiful angels. Nothing but silence as they landed engulfed in one another's arms. The flowing black waves brush gracefully to the side, brandishing a enthralling face that belongs in this very museum. Her fiery red cape draping her shoulders with that infamous snugged black dress reaping with graceful femininity. A pristine woman that gave Theo her aesthetics and sultry sway to lure any attention. Theo tilts her head approving of those red stilettos that she possessed herself.

"They're.... As I expected," the woman muses fluidly moving through the slightly visible red beams. They work perfectly in unison avoiding all the details of the security system Theo had intentionally hid for their hacker, Orion Morgan. Scarlett sighs happily, "Orion darling a little help? I can't stand another second without these beauties in my hands," she blurts into her blinking earpiece.

Theo flutters her cloak purposefully catching them stiffen slightly before moving through the shadows behind them. Her hand filled with a silver dagger, she pauses just as the beautiful pair cut through the glass case. With a wave of her hand, her telekinesis embeds the shiv into the opposite wall making their eyes veer to the sound.

"Someone's here, Ev" Letty exclaims low in her throat.

The woman protectively grasps Letty's hand, "Scar I don't feel good about this," she whispers.

Letty was quick on her feet, her golden lion ring brimming in the light as she swipes it barely missing Theo's face that was hidden in the darkness. The brown haired woman throws a round house kick causing Theo to dodge out of the shadows. Letty attacks as Theo dances away from each strike. Theo knew all too well about the ring she had created for emergencies as she quickly returns a solid blow to the woman's midsection. Her presumed wife flies through the air with a fist held ready to strike. Theo kept her eyes on the hidden gleam between the woman's knuckles before she caught the woman's wrist twisting her delicately away making for her true target. The click of a bullet slipping into the chamber causes Theo to brandish her dual glocks pointing each at both women.
