Silencia--
So now she found herself here, as she began to weave her way through the trees and bushes, at the pace of lightening. Which was ironic considering that was indeed her forte. The women snapped opened her gaze, as a shiver caressed her skin pleasurably against the cold air. She felt ....different . It was not death that frightened her anymore. She had subdued it, and made it her most greatest ally. The thirst—She knew she had to control it often, but having taken a moment she knew how to manipulate it. It had subsided for the time being. Yet each scent seemed stronger then ever. It was almost palpable. Her silver eyes levied a cool gaze upon Mina as she approached, the silver expanding along her iris. “Before you ask me how I’m feeling....thank you.” It seemed enough time had passed for her memories to begin slotting into place. She was acclimatising well to the new form, perhaps better than she had expected. The shadows lapped at her feet as she strode forward, her lips tilting with barely concealed amusement. “I have been experimenting...this will be most useful when we return..” She stated, as her obsidian gaze moved to observe the land in-front of her, with an expert gaze. “I have also decided....that I will make my way to another territory before we begin.. I have yet to speak with her..” Her words trailed off, the calmness in her form was clearly reinstated. —For now, of course. There was a Sash along her waist, the weapon from her travels that was thrust into it unmistakable. It thrummed, burning against her skin. “—.With..Rose..” She explained, as she allowed the familiar name to linger along her lips. Her eyes washed over Mina’s physique, taking the depth of her in, checking that she seemed unharmed. They held a link that was impenetrable now. Silencia could sense the women next to her in a much more acute way. It was not this time just by scent, or presence, or even power. Something else entirely indeed..

@Mina--- Silencia watched with rampant attention as she extended her arm, followed soon by the gentle prodding against her mind. The beast stirred within, causing her jaw to twitch as she lulled it back into its forced slumber. “Very well..let’s hope I don’t surprise you and take us elsewhere..” The tinge of amusement brushed her words, as she placed a gentle hand along Mina’s shoulder. Upon the contact, through the Sire, her own shadows spurred into movement. A whoosh of air accompanied the gesture, as the darkness engulfed the two whole, making the air around them distort with its effect. Focusing on where she needed to go was simple; getting there was slightly different. Her mind extended, worming its way to Roselyns territory, tracing each detail of the land, the scents in the air, and the main presence within. After a brief fluttering moment, the silver along her irises glowed, snapping to the women next to her as she remained ever calm, and ever still. The next words, made them shift, and materialise out of the area completely. “Let’s go..” She gently whispered, and then with the words thrust into the air, their figures melted into the shadows, as they wrapped around, capturing their forms entirely, moulding against their clothes until both women had vanished into the air, as if they had never been there to begin with. The journey was quick, the roaring of the speed at which they passed through the world causing her throat to tighten in anticipation. She hoped her mending mind had lead them to the correct place. The two women had vanished from Mina’s own area, scents extinguished. The remaining slithers of darkness melted into the environment, becoming one with the shadows of trees, bushes, and other objects. Seamless, as if nothing had ever disrupted them....

Mina---
@Silencia-- Mina smiled, but gave a nod to her observations, “You’re different, but still Silencia. The priority is ensuring you don’t lose yourself in amongst the changes. It’ll take time to adjust, but you have an abundance of it now.” She knew mortals turned immortal were rare; it took a specific type of mind to combat the effects of time when your body remained unchanged. But it meant they were much better at grasping time; a century to Mina was far less valuable when she had seen so many. But she had been born, not made. Her mind knew no different. She envied Silencia in that. Mina watched her body language as she spoke of her ability, “Shadows aren’t like the gifts in our blood. It doesn’t sing in the same way, but it works as an ally. Your electricity comes from the fabric of you; like marrow within bone. Shadows can become like the skin to those more adept in its power. A necromancer for example. For most however, it’s like a coat - or the blade to our side.” Mina paused for a moment as she listened to Sil’s strain, her calm eyes registering swiftly as she tilted her head in understanding, “She’ll help you put together the pieces - therefore, it’s vital.” With another nod, she approached Silencia and extended up her right fore-arm, black and gold knuckle-wraps glinting as the tendrils of shadow wrapped up her form and around her extended arm with a child-like enthusiasm. Mina’s golden eyes watched Silencia as her mind tapped to Sil’s politely; a gesture of permission to link her power as she smiled, “Once you lower your mental shield, picture where we need to go and the shadows will help do the rest. Think of me as a jump-start of power to allow you to travel until you get used to doing it on your own.” Her arm remained hovered, the stance utterly still. Calmly ready to take Sil where she needed to go.

@Mina— Her comment earned a chuckle, the corner of her eyes flaring into a smile. Though her general expression remained difficult to reduce, it betrayed the amusement she so desperately attempted to conceal. “You would know..” She retorted back, “Don’t jinx it though, I’m still adjusting to everything...it’s quite different, I feel the same yet I don’t at all.” Her words would remain otherwise ambiguous to anyone who overheard the conversation. The tank along her shoulders shifted as she rolled the muscle, exhaling softly as the silver within her irises glowed vibrantly. “As do I...I seemed to have mastered a little..it is not the same as electricity.” She mused, as wisps of her silver hair blew with the soft wind carrying numerous scents. All of which she immediately picked up on, in such a newfound and acute way. “That is fine..I’m not sure she’d know how to react if I suddenly found her appealing to my tastebuds.. I cannot remember everything, my memories, albeit intact are missing some...” There was a brief twitch to the muscle along her jaw, and she let out an irritated sigh. “I’m hoping she can assist that.” The shadows asking her form obscured her feet, and seemed to fade around the women, moving on their own volition. “When your ready, let us go. The quicker this is done, the quicker we can begin to get to the /real/ task at hand.” Her lips twitched into a quick smile, fleeting, like the glint of light along her sword.
