The Flow of Arcane: Myths Comes To Life

Business With Magic

Esmeralda watched Tyrik from afar with some degree of curiosity mixed with concern for what Caliburn was forcing him to endure. The Blade itself was, in a sense, a means to channel one's Arcane Power to master it, a set of Magic Training Wheels if you will. Yet, the way it had been acting for Tyrik was a bit odd. When she was using Caliburn, it did not have this potent reaction with her. Though Esmeralda was in a debate if this was the result of her having a more natural connection with her inner arcane or was the result of something different.

Her thoughts were cut off by Kathleen's thick accent as she asked; "Wahrried abooeht de Yooehng Lad, Prencess? You clearly 'ave been lahst in yooehr own mend. Maybe it is de Woehlver 'alf o' me genetecs 'elpin me peck oehp ahn dat ahr me Ketsune side 'as started to allow me to 'ave empathic abilities now.[Worried about the Young Lad, Princess? You clearly have been lost in your own mind. Maybe it is the Wulver half of my genetics helping me pick up on that or my Kitsune side has started to allow me to have Empathic Abilities now.]" Announced the Mystic Irish Woman as she looked for concern. Though Kathleen has a rough and ridged hide, she is quite compassionate. Which would shine the most when she tried to help Esmeralda. "So, mend tellin me what's ahn yooehr mend, Esmeralda? I might be able to 'elp clear ooeht yooehr dooehghts.[So, mind telling me what's on your mind, Esmeralda? I might be able to help clear out your thoughts.]" Miss Carney asked as she sought to assist the young Dark Elf in the best way she could. Yet this sign of maternal affection resulted in Esmeralda backing away from her bodyguard and maid. Kathleen almost attempted to reach out to her, but she was quickly reminded that Esmeralda's mother was quite the blight on the Princess.

"When are you gonna remember that I don't want you to act like my mom... Raena is bad enough as it is..." Esmeralda told Kathleen with a cold and bitter tone. The once bright and colorful eyes, which Esmeralda had quickly changed into dull-colored stones as memories of The Queen revisited her mind. To say simply that her mother was unpleasant was quite an understatement. It was far more than that, and not only was Esmeralda an only child. Her mother made it quite clear that she did not care for Esmeralda. Raena wanted nothing to do with her, viewing her as a disappointment and not worth being a part of her bloodline.

Letting out a small sad sigh, Kathleen proceeded to give Esmeralda a formal bow as she humbly apologized for allowing herself to slip up once again. "Me apahlogies, Prencess... I can't always 'elp myself, Prencess Ravenna... I ded raise you frahm birth, Mestress. May I attend to any ahther tasks to allow yooehrself to calm down?[My apologies, Princess... I can't always help myself, Princess Ravenna... I did raise you from birth, Mistress. May I attend to any other tasks to allow yourself to calm down?]" Kathleen questioned as she raised from her bowing and hands held together before herself.

Esmeralda turned to Kathleen as she suggested that it would be best to check in on Judy. With that, Kathleen took off to complete this assignment. 'Maybe I should be less harsh with her... I know that she means well... I just don't want her to become like Queen Ravenna... I don't want to have to see her becoming the same vile woman...' The Princess thought to herself as she hugged herself to soothe her emotional pain.

Back with Lin Chao, Robert, and Alex as they headed back to The White Star Corporation Head Quarters. Lin Chao was snapping his fingers to conjure a small flame before flicking it away and repeating this cycle. Lin was lost in his own thoughts as memories of his past ran through his mind as well. From being transferred between various orphanages, enduring the harsh treatment of other kids within these places, being harassed by the ones who watched over them, and being regretted by every foster family. Though, it was often a gamble if he would get one that would abuse him physically or not. Lin Chao's inner abilities were unlocked as he had snapped at one of these families and incinerated them as well as their farm. Though, he was surprised that he transformed into a feral monkey with fur made from a flaming inferno. 'Though, it was kind of cool to see that my 'super form' is basically a mix of Wukong and the freaking Ghost Rider. Too bad I can't pull off the Hellcycle or Hellride like them...' He announced within his thoughts before hearing the abrupt sound of Alex clearing his throat.
