Rose Mansion settles into a rare hush. Leon and Nayla move together in the training grounds, close enough to read each other’s weight shifts, while the water room beyond the hall carries Jews’s soft splashes and easy laughter. Rosmira has a quiet desk, a report draft, and the first real breath she has taken in days.
Two weeks here. A month back on Earth. Time keeps behaving strangely.
Leon finishes a drill and wipes sweat from his brow, glancing toward Nayla with new steadiness. She gives him a short nod, less ruler, more partner, and circles him again for another pass.
Nayla Iko
Again. This time, trust the turn before the stride.
In the swim room, Jews drifts on her back for a moment, then pushes through the water with practiced ease. The pool’s calm reflects the mansion lights, turning her into a flicker of silver and skin beneath the surface.
Jews
Rosmira, if you are writing that report, save me the dramatic version and give me the real one later.
Rosmira
I will. I am checking in with the Queen first.
At the Queen’s side of the mansion, the air feels heavier, warmer, almost ceremonial. Rosmira delivers her account, the trip to Earth, Eros’s summons, and the strange pace of time between worlds. Queen Voloria listens without interruption, violet gaze unreadable and intent.
Queen Voloria
Then you returned with more than you left with. Good. Rest while you can, Rosmira. Tell me, when you have chosen your words, what do you wish this bond to become?

Report to Queen Voloria about what Rosmira wants the bond to become
“I walk with the queen alone and explain how we ended up meeting Eros and playing a love game which was fun til it wasn't. Lets just say nayla and leon have more troubles then i expected since meeting him.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +1)
Rosmira falls into step beside Queen Voloria as they leave the study, the mansion’s warmth soft around them. The queen’s pace is unhurried, but her attention never drifts.
Rosmira
We ended up meeting Eros, and she turned it into a love game. It was fun, until it stopped being fun.
Voloria’s mouth quirks, more amused than surprised, as she listens without interrupting.
Rosmira
Nayla and Leon have more troubles than I expected since meeting him.
The queen’s gaze shifts ahead, thoughtful now, as if she is fitting Rosmira’s words into a larger pattern.
Queen Voloria
Eros rarely offers a harmless game. Tell me where the strain sits, Rosmira, and I will listen plainly.
They reach the mansion’s brighter hall, and Voloria slows, making space for an answer that matters.
“When we return back to the mortal world we will have to deal with nayla soon to be ex. And by the looks of it a darker power at play. I fear those pups will lose more then just love when we return.”

Rosmira
When we go back to the mortal world, we will have to deal with Nayla's soon to be ex. And from the way things look, there is a darker power at play. I fear those pups lose more than love when we return.
Queen Voloria
That fear has weight. Good. It means you are seeing past the obvious.
Queen Voloria
Then we do not waste time on a vague chase. We gather Leon, Nayla, and your allies, and we decide what must be guarded first.
Queen Voloria
If a bond can be pressured, it can be redirected. If a heart can be misled, it can be anchored.
Queen Voloria
You have already named the shape of the danger, Rosmira. Now tell me what you want that bond to become, once the dust settles.
Voloria stops beneath the brighter hall light, her attention fixed on Rosmira with calm, exacting patience. The mansion feels very still around them, as if waiting for the answer.
“I think i have a plan and lets say its very succubus of me with a very sly and devilish smile blooming on my face. Queen may i use some of your divine essence in a small potion.”
SUCCESS (Good Charm, rolled +1)
Rosmira
I think I have a plan, and... let us say it is very succubus of me. Queen, may I use some of your divine essence in a small potion?
Queen Voloria
You ask cleanly, and with style. Yes, Rosmira, you may have a measured portion.
Queen Voloria
In return, tell me how you mean to use it. I prefer a plan with a shape, not a perfume.
Rosmira
A little essence is enough for a powerful bind, if handled carefully.
Queen Voloria
Good. Then we are not guessing at shadows, we are choosing a remedy.
Voloria’s mouth curves with approval as she extends her hand, offering the grant without ceremony. The corridor’s hush loosens around them, and the private audience turns warmer, steadier, almost companionable.
Queen Voloria
Come, Rosmira. Show me what kind of bond you want to preserve, and I will hear the rest.
“for this plan my queen i ask for my sister to help me with the potion. and i ask you to prove the power to charge it. It willl be dazzingly bright and potent.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +3)
Rosmira
For this plan, my queen, I ask for my sister to help me with the potion. And I ask you to prove the power to charge it. It will be dazzlingly bright and potent.
Queen Voloria
Gladly. Cleara knows discipline, and I know force. Between us, your little bind will have both elegance and teeth.
Voloria’s free hand lifts, and the air answers her. A bright, controlled pulse gathers at her palm, patient rather than wild.
Queen Voloria
Cleara, join us. Rosmira wants precision, not guesswork.
A warm edge of light spills down the corridor, and the queen’s approval lands with unmistakable weight. Rosmira has the charge, and she has drawn Cleara into the shape of the plan.
Queen Voloria
Now tell me who you mean to bind, and I will know whether I am blessing a shield or a snare.
