Early morning meant early birds chirping, a soon-to-rise sun, and the crack of dawn?something about things cracking. Sometime in the earlier hours of the previous day, Reiko had been notified of progress towards a means of countering ? or breaking, whichever was the more suitable word in this case ? the chaos spell which had been cast upon her against her will. With her recently-cut hair and an attire which was far more appropriate than the attire of late, the woman was given permission to use the portal through Gaia to complete the travel to the Glen. Who else she might see, she hadn't a clue. Only that something could very well happen today. This was why she was here, to hopefully see a favourable end to the nightmare that threatened to plague her existence.
In that same moment, Tenball had been told that Andu was headed this way, and the guy (so to speak) wasn't hard to miss once you looked in the right direction. He arrived at the Glen before the sun rose, a good time for fishing if he was one to go fishing. The eastern sky was pink, and the sun would soon crest the horizon. "Morning, Andu!" the beholder greeted cheerily.
After settling Icer into bed in her chamber at the Shimmerscale lair the night before, Andu was near the lake, working on his fishing skills with a rod and reel. He glanced up when Gaia opened the portal to allow Reiko to join him. In a swirling column of starlight, the scarred woman and her husband arrived at the Glen as well. Who was Reiko to look for, exactly? If she remembered correctly, then the Governor had mentioned somebody named Tenball. Fortunately, the woman herself wouldn't have to do much in the way of searching. His name was rather appropriate, making him easily identified. Reiko was standing by Andu's side upon stepping out of the portal with one hand rubbing each of her eyelash-less eyes. Nightmares unrelated to the situation at hand had kept her up the night before until she had been able to go to sleep at last.
With a blink, Andu nodded to Tenball, Rachael, and Ian. "Morning, Ten, Rachael, Ian. Reiko," he would say just as Icer slipped from the lair and rested on her favoured ledge.
Ian muttered, "I hope this doesn't take long. I have work that isn't going to wait for hours."
"We shall see, anwylaf." Rachael dipped her raven-haired head to those present.
"Morning?" would slip from Reiko very sleepily. She heard the mutters and looked up. "?sorry, Mon Oncle?I didn't realise that I?I'll just shut up now." It seemed like the best thing for the woman to do as she shook her head slowly, mostly to herself. She wasn't quite used to being here this early.
Just then, the air to one side of the assemblage swirled into a vortex of colour, from which stepped a man in an elegant longcoat. "Hello." Andu glanced at all those gathered He nodded to Eregor when he appeared. Icer's horned head dipped to those present as well. There were two others joining them this early in the morning? The woman blinked slowly at this. She had yet to actually meet the two others, or so she thought. Lately, she wasn't going to try bothering with remembering anything anymore. What was the point when it would either get used against her in some way or just wiped from her mind?
