The Goddess, of course, did not mind the way his eyes scoured and trailed up and down her body. Her beauty was one of her greatest gifts - a trait that seemingly only her flaming brother shared. Neither the Spark nor the Earth were much to look at ... oh, each were in their own ways. But neither inspired the sort of jaw-dropping lust that she and her golden counterpart did. The Goddess would pleased that Alune was not immune to such charms and wiles. She would remember that...
"Ah yes ..." She purred, allowing her pale gaze to wash over the decrepit and lonely stones. A few flowers grew here and there, but other than that, the Veins were a poor reminder of what they once were. "It used to be different here, you know." She remarked, her voice sounding off handed as she fell into a recollection of what once was. "This place used to be alive with our spirits, and we dwelt here often. Now, only the dead do-" Her gaze completed its survey landing finally on the trees which had grown after she had 'killed'. So many still didn't understand that need. But it didn't matter, the outcome which had always needed to pass, had.
The Goddess' svelte ears swivel led to catch the wishes and desires of her seer, and indeed, her gaze grew more raptuous and intrigued as he spoke. She knew that she had selected him well, and this intuition was only further foundationalized as Alune reported that what he wanted was to be a sigul of her - a reaper of justice and defender of her lands. Yes ... you will be, she thought with an inward hum and an approving smile.
"A body of such power as the one you seek ... It is you who must be strong enough for it. I will need evidence that you are, before such a gift will be granted. Find two with the ability to transform. Learn from them what their weaknesses in their forms are, and figure out how to use this against them. Then - " An inky breeze wafted from beneath the Goddess wing, carrying one of her amulets. "Use this, and teach yourself how to fly. Because your body is not suited for flight from birth, your attempts will be ... less than optimal. But it is better to learn now, than fall from the skies as a dragon. Do you understand me?"
Alune must find two others with transformation magic, learn their weaknesses (specifically pertaining to transforming/being in a different form (i.e. Is their transformation painful, do they lose their powers, are they weaker) and figure out how to use this against them (in a spar, or just strategically speaking in terms of the Edge). Then use the Moon Amulet she gave him, capture the magic of someone who can transform into something flighted, and practice flying! Someone can either help him/teach him, or he can do it on his own.
