RP:Dawns past part 1

Raver said to Kain, "That can be arranged ... I am sure my mother would love to look after Violet ...let me ask dawn "

Dawn only partly listens to Kains rambling, her attestation was on Raver " well you said you need a fountain, why not go to one not to far from here" looking a little scared but determined " No, It seems fairly straight forward, only what if I don't like what I see, can we leave straight away?”

Raver said to Dawn, "Kain would love to come, would my mother be an appropriate sitter?”

Dawn said to you, “I suppose so - looks a little unsure-"

Raver speaks quietly as if to the air itself. As he does so a breeze can be felt. Soon it is blowing stronger than Dergious' wind, though with a nicer odor of Lilacs. A portal forms and from within it Lady Syrenia Lyastri comes forth. “Good evening my son. Is this the child? " Raver merely nods as his mother cradles the child in her arms and says " when you are returning , come by the palace and pick her up " Syrenia walks into the portal and she and Violet are away ,,,, and safe .

Dawn shields her face with her arms at the sudden gust of wind , .watching spellbound as portal forms in the middle of the tavern., even more so when a women steps out of it taking the babe in her arms. "vi.." she begin but stops she did agree to it after all "will she be alright?" watching the anxiously as the women disappears back into the portal with her daughter. Kain sighed slightly as Violet disappears into the portal, and then nodded to Raver. So, how exactly does this work?"

Raver leaves the tavern and beckons Dawn and Kain to follow him to the fountain.

Raver motions for the three gathered to lie side by side in the warm waters of the Lovers fountain. As he does so he lies down, floating in the small pool. Raver smiles and says “when we are ready, we shall begin, and worry not, your clothes will dry with no damage to them, and the other benefit is a small healing property of the timestream.

Dawn gazing uncertain at the fountain, her mind easing a little at the fact her clothes wouldn't be damaged. "I’m ready" the avianess whispers as she gingerly steps into the fountain. Gasping at the coldness of the water was she lies down beside Raver.

Kain hopes the fountain isn't too deep, as his armour drops him straight to the bottom. Leaning his head forward, he turns and looks at Dawn. "Well, this is new. Ready when you are... I think."

Zalera moves swiftly to cross the distance from him and the fountain. Idly, he unties the strings to his cloak and he tosses it to the side. He knew it would dry but he wanted to be rid of it before he entered the timestream anyway. Jumping up and into the fountain, the vampire looks first to the warrior and then to the avian. "Ready, as always," he tells Raver even as he is lying down. "I'm interested in seeing what awaits us “

Raver takes the Vortex Stone in his hands and begins to speak the arcane language of the Timerunners. He looks at his companions, Dawn, Kain and Zalera as he speaks. He smiles as the water starts to bubble and churn. Soon the travellers feel a small current beneath them. The day about them soon fades into darkness as their bodies are carried away on the time stream. Raver speaks another passage and the moon becomes the sun. The current is now stronger like a river beneath them; they are truly in the midst of the shifting pathways of time itself. Raver yells over the roar of the water “I welcome you all to the voyage of discovery about the past, and ourselves.” As they travel further into the past sun and moon do a merry dance of love. The current slows and soon the three find themselves in a small pool. “As I said only I can actually walk about the village we now find ourselves in." Raver speaks and Dawn, Kain, and Zalera feel a tingle about their bodies as the temporal bubble becomes one with them. “This will protect you and all you may yet see." That having been said Raver walks away from the pool into the village where the younger Dawn now sits in a small house on a hill. Raver smiles as a group of children come screaming with happiness and jump into the pool of water, passing right through the three travellers who are slightly out of phase with the timeline.

Dawn takes a deep breath, her eyes on Raver as he takes up Vortex Stone and begins chanting, At once the water stats bubbling around them, much to the avianess alarm. Dawn feels a strong current under her pulling her through time. To overcome to scream or make any noise at all she just stares wide eyed, until her body lies in a stream she recognises. And children running past particle a dark haired girl it was her friends child, Gasping the avianess gazes around "we understand Raver" trying to fight off a tingling feeling.

Kain was unfamiliar with magic, but managed to follow through the timestream. Arriving at their destination, Kain freaked as a group of children passed through him, in their rush to the pond. Wide-eyed, he patted himself down, making sure he was still whole. 'Whoa," he muttered, glancing around at Dawn, the kids in the pond, the land around them. "Definitely something new..." Zalera lets a chuckle escape his chest as he leans forward to stand. How similar was his own reaction was when first traveled the time stream. "It's never the same," the vampire says, getting to his feet and following Raver closely. "So what are we looking for, Raver?" the vampire said, his gaze falling upon the younger form of Dawn. "I assume we are in the avian's past..."

Raver turns to his old friend Zalera as he is leaving. He laughs as the children frolic and says “Zalera it is never the same way twice is it? I ask that you watch, for all will learn something this trip. Stay here and keep them calm within the bubble that protects you all." Raver makes his way through the village, He speaks with the blacksmith and the vegetable vendor, “indeed Lord Raver, Corin and Lady Dawn are here, and they are up in Greenslawn Cottage.” Raver thanks the two men and makes his way to the cottage. Putting on his most professional face that his uncle, Dr. Red showed him, he knocks on the door and waits. The door opens and Dawn is standing there. She does not look much different as raver makes his way inside. “Greetings Dawn I have the results we were seeking. You are indeed with child." The younger Dawn jumps up and runs to the back of the house as Raver follows. Corin he sees and they shake hands in congratulations. Raver listens as Corin and Dawn discuss their plans. Within his own mind he speaks to his fellow travellers “Dawn you were indeed beautiful the first time we met, and better this day. What you see and hear is what was and cannot be changed. Remember this and all will be well in time." Corin rushes past him “I go to the Manor to see Quills, will you accompany Dawn please?” Raver agrees as Corin leaves. Raver speaks to the younger Dawn “I need a moment please." Raver takes the stone in hand and speaks the phrases. Within the pool Dawn ,Kain and Zalera feel a shift. Day becomes night and then day again. When the sun rises about them they find themselves in a fountain. The site is that of Quills manor home. Two days have passed and all three can hear the sounds of the busy manor house. They can smell the fresh baked bread. From on high can be heard “The Lady Dawn and Lord Raver approach M'lord." Raver and Dawn enter the manor house. Only Raver knows all that will happen, but no sign can be seen on his face.

Dawn follows swiftly in her mind behind Raver her eyes flicking in all directions, This was her home everything was just how she remembered it, the coddled paths the thatched houses the stone flacon in the middle of the square "its mister Thomson and Samson " the avianess grasps when she see the blacksmith and the vegetable vendor "mister Thomson use to let me hide in the stables from father, .oh" trailing off when Raver heads to a cottage looking shocked when herself opens the boor for him. Recovering herself the avianess follows the time runner through the door "I will never forget the moment I found out" watching her younger versions face light up at news her hand dropping to her stomach before she runs to get Corin. The older dawns eyes fill with longing at the site of her mate, walking over to him, but reminders herself she couldn't "I know. it cant be changed " turning to Raver who had already taken out the amulet and was chanting, in the next breath they were all traveling in the water current, night and day flashing past until the come to a stop at yet another familiar dwelling "oh.." recognising the manor house as her own.

Kain quietly follows, watching and listening. "I take it that's your man?" he softly asks Dawn, as Corin is visible. He didn't know if she could, or would, answer, but as the scene played out, Kain felt fairly certain that it was. He was fairly certain that he had never seen the man before, but would keep an eye out for him as he continued his travels.

Zalera strokes his chin as he watches the scene play out before him. Such trips always made the vampire look back on his long, but yet short life. Seeing past lovers, even not his own, made him feel the twinge of pain that accompanied longing. He didn't know this avian girl, but he wished she -could- reach out and touch this Corin. Zalera shifts his arms to cross them. "From the way she flocked to him, I'd say you were correct..."
