The Return of the Egg



I am a damsel

locked in her tower,

but I am my own capture.

No one else has the

strength to lock me away.

You though have the key

to free me from myself

Ymiden 50 223

The wind was blowing across the lake as they sat in the row boat that was bringing Genna and Pablo from the ship too the shore they had visited before. Pablo was rowing as Genna set by the egg making sure that it was secure in the gentle swaying boat. Both were dressed for the trip, but unlike last time they didn’t come with a pack full of supplies for camping. Genna was dressed made of cotton but was simple brown, and her hair was secured in its normal bun that was hidden under the wide brim had that she wore to protect her hair skin. She looked up at Pablo and watched as he rowed. She watched intently him for a moment.

Being in a relationship was different for her. She had been in a few over the arcs but had found them difficult because to make it truly work she had to lower her own barriers. She accepted that some of them failing were her own fault, others were other peoples. In the recent arcs she had finally acknowledged the issue and started to lower those barriers. Pablo though had found his way inside of those barriers and Genna realized that with him that entrance had changed. Her medical training had given her a certain detachment when needed. For him it was gone. Instead of being able to watch him row and think about it abstractly she now found her self wanting to feel his muscles moving.

As if sensing her gaze upon him Pablo turned and looked at her giving her his charming boyish smile. He grunted as he rowed again. “What you thinking?” He asked.

“Just how grateful I am to have you in my life now.” Genna said.

“Well I am grateful to be in your life as well.” He said teasingly. Genna laughed.

“I hope you are okay with all of the errands.” Pablo paused as he rowed and gave Genna a serious look for a moment as they floated forward.

“I am happy to come with you. I realized when we got serious that and certainly when we got engaged that we would be running around. I don’t mind doing helping and running around. It gives some verity to my life, and I am actually enjoying the adventures.” He said and then picked up rowing again. Genna looked over at the shore and saw they were almost there. She looked back and smiled. “Well I am looking forward our newest adventure.”

He grinned at her and kept rowing. Soon they arrived at the lake shore and together they pulled the boat ashore and lifted the eff out of the boat. Holding is securely the two moved to the edge of the lake and carefully set it down.

After a moment to compose herself Genna stepped forward and raised her hands to either side of her she closed her eyes and said spoke calmly and clearly but neither yelling nor whisper. “Oh Lovalus and Ymiden I have returned bearing one of the lost eggs that I saw sent to retrieve. I offer it up to you know in Ymiden’s season at this time to bound these creatures and Lovalus together.” She remained as standing still as the next step was beyond her. Though she waited for her instructions.

Re: The Return of the Egg

Dance of the Jacadons


For a few moments they stood there, enjoying each others company and the solitude of the place. Gennadiya could just about feel the peacefulness of this place, the tranquility, and a certain sense of satisfaction at having done the right thing with her relative, who happened to be the egg thief. She could feel Ymiden's presence in a few moments after stepping to shore, and placing the egg down upon the soft leaves of the ground. As she stepped back, and Pablo with her, a sudden rush of currents flowed under the surface of the waters. Then the Jacadon, two of them appeared. The one in white scales took the egg softly in its mouth, and cradling it there, Genna might worry at first that it would break, but the egg was sturdy and fit perfectly between her jaws.

The mother jacadon drew aside, without much fanfare, as the male watched her back as she turned back into the water, becoming at home in Lovalus, and at one with the Lake Spirit. She made it a few more fathoms into the water. The Male fixed both of them in his gaze, attempting to satisfy himself that this was not the thief, although she had his scent upon her. He grimaced for a moment, raising his head above the water, droplets dripping from his fins and scales. Then he turned aside and followed his mate whither she went.

Ymiden's voice spoke to Gennadiya then. "I will that you erect a shrine here in my name, Ilaren has allowed it, and Lovalus seems to agree that this is the place. But I do have one last task for you."

"When the place has been built, and all has been settled there, I wish for you to bring your cousin here. Speak on his behalf in court, and plead for his temporary or early release. Be his advocate, and bring him here."

She could feel the warmth and happiness and acceptance of Ymiden then, as he smiled at her from all around. "I grant you my boon, Gennadiya. Know that you are Exalted among my followers."

So saying, Ymiden's presence gave her space to enjoy this moment with her chosen love, and gave her the time to breathe and enjoy the accomplishment, as well as plan for the next few steps she would have to take.

Heya, so you're good to go ahead with the purchase/building of a shrine. You can self-mod the rest of the thread, and I will review when you are satisfied/done. Congrats on exalted!

Also, when it comes time to dedicate the shrine itself, and bring her cousin here, I can offer input and mod notes or moderation as need be. But you're free to self mod those parts as well if you want. Equally I'm happy to moderate them for you.

Ymiden 50 223

Genna stood by Pablo as they stepped back from the shores edge once the egg was secure. She felt Pablo slip his arm around her waist. She also felt the presence of Ymiden and Lovalus as the two waited for something to happen. Finally the Jacadon’s emerged from beneath the water. Genna’s sapphire blue eyes watch the mated pair as they came out of the water and collected the egg. The female didn’t stay around long before returning with her eggs into the depths. Genna meet the males gaze as it studied hers and she felt Pablo presences by her as he responded to the creatures gaze with a protective move. The young woman felt a warmth at his response.

Eventually the male turned and disappeared beneath the waters of the lake. Genna smiled as she felt Lovalus’ satisfaction. She also felt Ymiden reach out to her and communicate that he was satisfied with what she had done. She was still looking out at the lake as he spoke to her mind. He wanted a shrine built here on the shores of lake Lovalus. Genna was pleased to hear that Lovalus was contented and the Ilaren approved. She wouldn’t have built the shrine without Rharne’s patrons approval. With everyones approval Genna felt it was time to go to the next stage.

Ymiden’s instructions weren’t complete though. He wanted Genna to bring her cousin to the shrine when it was ready to be dedicated. The young woman had planned on standing by her cousin and trying to help him through this time and hopped to get him back on his feet. She bowed her head in acknowledgement of the instructions. She would bring Kosya when it was dedicated, as instructed, though depending on the judge that might determine how difficult that task would be, but it was one that she would gladly do.

Ymiden had one more surprise. Genna’s eyes opened in surprise as Ymiden declared her one of his exalted. She felt that peculiar sensation when ever one of the Immortals touched her granting her a portion of their power. Carefully extracting herself from Pablo’s arms Genna curtsied to her patron. It had been a time coming. She remembered when first she had been touched by Ymiden. Sitting on top of the man no boy who had accidently killed his sister. She had chosen not to kill the boy, she had forgiven him and had fully accepted her rebirth.

Standing up straight Genna felt the departer of Ymiden and Lovalus as they returned to their own tasks. Genna stood quietly and Pablo gave her a moment to herself. Turning back to her beloved Genna smiled at him, a smile that was his alone. At that moment she was fully open to him. He took her in his arm and the two held each other. After a moment they separated. Genna then explained to him what had happened. Pablo listened a smiled on his face, but his expression a roller coaster of calm, surprised, and wondering. Ilaren was his patron, but he hadn’t interacted with her the way Genna did with her patrons.

Once it was done they were silent for a moment. “Wow.” Pablo said finally speaking. “Well that is good. I am glad we were able to help those creatures.” He said.

“It was good to see that reunion.” Genna said.

“Okay so tell me what your plans are for this shrine.” Pablo said, curious as over the many trials she had been planning this different ideas had been presented.

Genna looked around and indicated to the area along the shore they were at and said. “This will be the dock and I am thinking will call this the Lovalus gate and make a shrine here to the Induk here. Then there will be a path towards that hill.” She pointed to a hill that was set back a bit. “That will have shrine building itself.” Pablo nodded his head.

“Is that it?” He asked.

“No, in the valley beyond, I want to keep the hill up to the shrine pristine, we will build some sleeping chambers for visitors, meditation areas, some class rooms and of course gardens.” Genna said and started to walk in that direction.

“Class rooms?” Pablo said. Genna smiled at the sound of horror in his voice.

“Ymiden and his domains are ones that are more in the mind. People how come to his shrine might come to leave some type of offering, but most will come to get help. To understand about forgiveness, to try and change themselves. To celebrate changing themselves. There will need to be places to do that.”

“So you want this to be more then a fancy building to Ymiden. A place where his domains can be practiced.” Pablo said. “Maybe hold festivals?”

“Maybe.” Genna said. “For now I just want it as a place for people to come to learn forgiveness, and to see rebirth. To celebrate the summer and such. In the future something more might develop but for now we will stick to a shrine complex.”
The two continued to walk around the area enjoying there time together and talking about the future, making plan beyond just the shrine, much more personal ones. Eventually the sun moved on and the two returned to the boat that hard carried them here and set sail back to Rharne and their lives there.

Feedback

I like the new couple on their first adventure together. You play their romance in a very tasteful and respectful and reserved way that doesn't come away as seeming contrived or stilted. It's hard to do that with romance so kudos to you.

Of course Gennadiya has things to do still, but has made the most progress in forging an accord between Lovalus, the Lovalus Jacadons, and Ymiden.

This was a fun mod bomb, thanks for indulging me!

Good story overall.

Rewards

  • Renown: 5
  • XP: 15
  • Warden Faction Points: 4

Knowledges

  • Strength: Spreading the weight of a object secure it better

Loot

  • The first two powers in Exalted Vinyza.

    Sunrise Tribute The character is granted an extra nine skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Gardening, Cartography, Meditation, Psychology or Swimming. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.


    Eye in the Sky The Blessed is aligned with the sun's position to be able to see anywhere upon which the sun is currently shining. The Blessed is able to "zoom in" on any spot the sunlight hits. Thus does not mean he can look into buildings, unless the sunlight is shining directly through a window or doorway or some similar opening. Still, he is limited to what can be seen from that spot alone. Also, if clouds cover the ground, the Blessed is NOT able to "zoom" through them. The further the gaze roams from 'high noon" dead center of the sunlight, the darker the vision becomes. The Blessed can not use any kind of dark vision spell or artifact to supercede this limitation. This sight can be enjoyed once per trial for 1 bit per 10 devotion points. No other blessing can be used at the same time.

Consequences

  • The Shrine has not yet been built, although you could spend WP to get it done and/or oversee its construction personally. Also don't forget that the inclusion of Gennadiya's cousin is a request.
