First Conquest - A Queen's arrival is never silent [Teleportation Event]

Intro - The Bay [Closed]

What is this? I feel... cold. Something is amiss.

[There was nothing but darkness when Ivina regained her consciousness inside the pod. Nothing but her own haunting voice echoed in the deep until some light seeped through her slowly waking eyes. Ivina felt the weight of a box on her chest, a box she opened it with her mind. She eyed the gemstone necklace in particular, with a curious interest. Clutching it within her grasp, Ivina willed the pod to open. She felt the chill of winter and the numbess of a long slumber greeting her as she wearily leaves her makeshift coffin. Her hand flew to ease the weight of her head, while her glowing amber eye scanned the cave from where she was woken.]

No... By the stars, what force could have brought me here? Is this the Flame's will?

[With the necklace still in her grip, Ivina left the other items behind and flew to the light at the end of the cave, it only took less than a blink of an eye until the weight of her heels pressed on solid ground. She looks up to see a fissure in the darkening sky, and strange structures and strange noises coming from every direction. A harmonious tune caught her attention to a device that stood a few feet away from her, a device that projected the image of a young woman. Her sharp eyes gazed at the image, and her heart beats with a growing rage as the image spoke more about being transported to another realm by unknown entities. The hologram began breaking up, with the voice becoming distorted and filled with static. The hologram projector and the magazine rack were crushed into unrecognizable husks of metal and flame, as Ivina's wrath took over her confusion]

Genessia. Hm. How interesting. A new realm that's beyond my knowing... A new realm to burn.

[An aura of scorching red flame burned from her feet and ascending to her head, burning away her Awakened form and returning Ivina to her human appearance. The glow of her amber eyes have dimmed while it leered a cold gaze at the direction she chose to explore first. She vanished in a swirl of flames as fast as she showed up. Her mind is still filled with questions, but she's sure she'll figure everything out in time. For now, there is a new world to explore. A new world to conquer]

Action - Genessia City [Open]

[Before the powers-that-be decide to warp Ivina to the Everglade, she explored the place not knowing what to expect. She blended in with the locals of Genessia , keeping a low profile and even conjuring up clothes that suit the norm. Her necklace was the only item she didn't leave behind the Bay, and she wore it around her neck like a newly bought accessory. She stopped by the garden park to appreciate the fresh air and the view of the flowers. The garden was well-maintained. She can commend it's caretakers for their good taste. But, something caught her eye that made her mentally sigh in disgust: freesias.

The freesias suddenly caught on fire, and the people around her panicked as a park maintenance worker heroically rushed to put the fire out with a hose. Of course, the water did nothing. But Ivina controlled the flames to make it look like the water did it's job.]

Oh my! How terrible!

[She spoke with genuine sounding concern, even gasping and covering her lips at the "accident". They're just going to blame it on edgy teenagers who love to play pranks...]

Action - Everglade [Villain characters preferred]

[As she was new to this realm, Ivina was unaware of the world being broken. In her exploration of Fayren, she was sent to the Everglade without warning. From the skies, she felt the ground pull her in to the fog-covered town beneath her. But her magic saved her from a disgraceful arrival. The surprise merely made her furrow and give a displeased hum to the world, as she gently lays her feet on the road.

Much later, Ivina has crossed paths with tall, pale gentlemen in black coats. After some indistinct exchange of words, Ivina was surrounded by more of a dozen men turning into werewolves, baring their claws as they pace closer to their target. Their eyes stared at her like she would be their next meal, and their wide grins bared their soaked fangs. All Ivina could give in reply was the swipe of her eye, turning her attention to their alpha. With a thought she chokes each and every werewolf that surrounds her, lifting them all off the ground and slowly crushing them with her mind]

You speak grand for a petty leader of mutts, creature. Boasting of your power over the humans of this town, only to be reminded by one of what real power is.

[Ivina's tone tensed at her last few words. Her eyes squint as the alpha remained defiant, making her give the faintest smile of amusement before she decides to destroy them. Their bodies glow with a bright orange light as they expand violently, bursting into charred dust in her wake. She sighs, placing a hand on her hip]

Dogs should know their place and eat the scraps their masters feed them...

[OOC: Given Ivina's character, I have a permissions post for her abilities! I'm willing to plot and discuss ideas for future CR there!]

[As the werewolves are reduced to nothing but dust, a slow clapping is heard from around the corner of a building. Cipher - or rather, Liam - stepped out with a faint smirk. The power he could detect from this woman was staggering, and impressive. His eyes fall onto her pendant, knowing instantly that she wasn't just a random witch that hung out in Everglade.]

That display was impressive. I've seen very few who could dispose of werewolves so easily.

[Sakura is at the park with pikachu when there is suddenly a flame that erupts next to her. She jumps and pikachu jumps into her arms as if to protect her. She staggers back and away from the flame almost bumping into Ivina.]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[She tries to smile at the woman.]

I didn't know what happened just then.

[Ib enjoys this new rule because it gives her a place to hunt without the chance that her conscience might find out about it. That young 9 year old girl is annoying but she isn't able to do anything in regards to her. She can't let her know the truth.

There is a sword tied to Ib's hip while a decorated rose mask covers her face. Bright blood red eyes watch as the woman dispatches the werewolfs. As the last one falls Ib lightly claps her hands together with a smile.]

That looked like fun.

[Ivina remained unmoved at the sudden appearance of this stranger, but she was curious of the aura he's giving off. Whoever this man is, she knows he's not human, even if he uses the guise of one. She lifts her chin and turned to face him, popping her hip and setting a hand there. She spoke in a calm tone, but was loud enough to be heard clearly]

You must not have seen too many mages in your lifetime. To say it did not even require effort to destroy them would be too great of an understatement.

[Ivina looked to the innocent-looking young woman, feeling perplexed at how she carried herself and that... thing on her arms. Ivina can sense magical power from Sakura, making her wonder more about the girl. She hates having to keep up appearances, but she's in stranger's lands, so she has to just keep pretending for a while until she finds a way back home]

You're not at fault, young lady. You were simple startled, though you could benefit in paying more attention to your surroundings. Danger can jump at any moment's notice, it will be a shame for someone so young to get so hurt.

[She tries her best not to be sarcastic and dry to an innocent girl, and it was easier to hold it in when around younger people than with adults who should know better. She gives a smile to Sakura, folding her arms in front of her]

[Ivina frowned once she hears the clap, slowly turning towards the sound and lifting her chin up to speak to the stranger before her]

"Fun" isn't a word I would use. They barely presented a challenge.

I have encountered many mages, but I certainly have not encountered many with the power that you wield.

[The two that he knew of with similar power, he murdered, so...]

Still, I'm sure the human residents of Everglade will be happy to be several werewolves less. I imagine you've done them quite the favor, even if unintentional.

The Everglade..? Then something is surely amiss in this Genessia. This realm is proving to be more interesting than I suspected.

[Ivina hums in thought, rolling her eyes at the other watchful eyes in the distance that she could sense. She was just in Fayren until she was teleported here all of a sudden.]

No matter. They're much too ugly not to be put out of their misery.

[Ivina rolled her bare shoulder and waved off her hand, turning her back on Liam]

I shall resume my exploration of this new world, so I shall leave the public services to you, demon.

[After summoning demonkind for as long as she remembers, yeah, she knows.]

[He's left in silence for a few moments, but a smirk curls to his lips. He closes his eyes, and as they open again, his eyes have a gold glow.]

Clearly I underestimated you. Even the Cardinals couldn't see through this guise.

[His body is briefly engulfed in shadow before dissipating into black feathers around him, the demon revealing his somewhat 'true' form with his horns, glowing tri-colored eyes and fur trimmed trench coat. He clicks one of his high heels and speaks in a slightly doubled voice.]

I have no interest in being a civil servant for this realm. However, do I not get to the honor of the name of the sorceress who was able to identify me with little difficulty?

[Ib shrugs.]

I'm probably weaker than you.

[Which sounds like an odd thing to admit to someone who you just watch kill a pack of werewolves.]

[Sakura seems convinced, she nods her head before giving Ivina a bright smile. Pikachu jumps down from her arms and sits at her feet looking up at the woman curiously. He isn't perfect but he's trained to be less annoying towards people he doesn't know.]

You're right. I'm honestly trying to get better.

[Training and things like that.]

Perhaps you are. But there is always room for improvement...

[It was odd to admit something like that, but what crossed Ivina's mind more was the potential of manipulating this person. She can temporarily bestow power to others in exchange for things or favors, but she'll park that offer for now. She's new to the place and is unsure of everything still.

She curiously eyes that sword on Ib's side, as an idea formed in her mind. She conjured up a shadow creature to test Ib's sword skill]

For example, look behind you.

[Once Ib turns, the creature simply stood there for her to cut down, offering only minor resistance and would claw at her if she was too slow to react]

["You call that getting better?" she groaned in her mind. But she remained in pretending to be an actually nice person. She nods, returning a smile at the young Sakura]

Then I have nothing to say than keep putting in the effo--

[Then she was distracted by the Pikachu looking at her, in which she leers back at]

Hm...

[Ivina stopped her pace once she heard Cipher speak again. She turned her head to look at Cipher's semi-altered form through the corner of her eye, glowing in a bright amber like his]

In due time you shall, hellspawn. You do understand that trusting your kind isn't the easiest of tasks?

[Though she did very briefly let the aura her "awakened" form be seen as sort of a salute to a fellow wielder of dark powers. She spoke with a grin at the end of her lip as she did, so she does show a sign that she respects him and his power. She turns around fully to face him, folding her arms halfway in front with her well-groomed fingers touching her elbows]

But we can begin building some semblance of that by telling me of why I was suddenly brought here from Fayren.

[Ib has human reflects but she's used to things appearing behind her. There is a soft click as her sword is released from it's scabbard. As she turns she slices across watching the shadowy creature spit in two.]

I take it this is your doing?

[She almost wants to laugh.]

I've been around Everglade for awhile. Haven't see a ghost like that before.

[Sakura looks down at Pikachu and then up at the woman.]

Oh, I'm sorry he's staring. He's just protective.

[At least while she's learning about her magic.]

[Smart woman. While he arguably had good intentions back at home, he has no obligations to this place, so he's well on his path to becoming one of the least trustworthy individuals here. He places a hand on his hip, slightly lowering his head while keeping his gaze on her.]

That, I'm afraid I cannot answer. It would seem the world is somewhat in disarray at this current time. It may be connected to the earthquake that was felt throughout the cities a mere few days ago.

But you are not the first this has happened to, nor will you be the last. One of my crows mysteriously appeared in Attleton after it vanished from my sight.

[And, knowing Nadir, he was being a troublesome little featherbrain for the Attleton residents.]

You have some skill with the blade, I see. But you lack conviction.

[Ivina snaps her fingers, reforming the ghost back into its original form]

Tell me, why exactly do you hunt these creatures?

Edited 2016-01-27 14:14 (UTC)

I see... He might be too small to protect you from any hostilities.

[Sure a pikachu has electric powers that she isn't aware of, but it's not very intimidating. Appearance-wise]

No matter. I must have obstructed you from your errands long enough.

[Ivina hums, tapping a finger on her chin as her grin grew just a little wider]

Is that so? I shall welcome that as a harbinger of my arrival.

[She giggles through her smirk]

Though it disappoints me to see this world has very little in it. What is there to do for someone like me, I wonder. I don't see an army or fellow queen to challenge me.

[She sighs]

This world is simply too small.

[Ib raises an eyebrow at the woman.]

Conviction, you have to be kidding.

[She levels a glare at the woman.]

I'm here because I want to kill. My conviction is with my painting which this world hasn't seen fit to bring with me.

Your arrogance is astounding.

[In this case, that's probably Cipher's idea of a compliment. Especially with that smirk on his face when he said it.]

Do not write the realm off yet. There are other extensions summoned by those brought here in the cities.

[His smirks broadens slightly, his eyebrows raising in amusement.]

In fact, you may be interested in a particular Lord Tepes. He brought his army to this very town shortly after my own arrival.

[Sakura shakes her head.]

You didn't, I was just taking a break from practice.

[This is close to her house.]

it's nice to be able to meet someone new.
