Not physically, no. I'm more than capable of defending myself, Sabriel, and my kind are notoriously resilient.

I...used most of my energy to seal Apep though, which is going to be hard to recover until I manage my anchoring ritual.

[thebellthatbinds]

[Sabriel's going to ask about Apep's binding later.]

Your anchoring ritual?

[windandrain]

Yes, dear.

[Saori just nods]

I am not a creature of this world. None of us are. So I cannot draw in ambient energy. With the ritual, I can anchor my spirit here, and thereby absorb that energy.

[thebellthatbinds]

Oh...but then, would that tie you permanently to this world?

[The ritual however sounds an awful lot like what Sabriel is trying to establish with her Charter stone.]

[windandrain]

Absolutely not. I am merely going to reshape a piece of this world...after a fashion...into a vessel that I can drink from, if you understand the metaphor.

[Its similar, but different as well]

[thebellthatbinds]

Ah, I think I do. You need to build a foundation for yourself here.

[Sabriel nods.]

I've been working on something similar to be honest. Not for myself but for my magic.

[windandrain]

Are you really, dear? What does this involve?

[thebellthatbinds]

[Sabriel hesitates before answering. The key to making the Charter stone was also the key to breaking it after all...but she could trust Saori with a bit of an explanation.]

My blood. The magic I draw from is known as the Charter, created from five Great Charters in my home world. During the creation my bloodline was born, which means the potential of the Great Charter lives in me. In order to use my magic, I need the Charter stone to act as a foundation, a drawing point.

[windandrain]

Ah. A magical infusion within the land. Its similar to what I'm doing, yes.

[Yes, you can trust her, Sabriel]

What is left that you need to do before the ritual? I will help, however I can.

[thebellthatbinds]

[She thought so. Besides, the breaking requires a Necromancer's hand...and as far as she knows, she hasn't met any in Luceti.]

My next infusion should be the last. The process has to be done by myself but I have some friends who are willing to give me some support during the making.

[windandrain]

Good. If you need me, you've but to ask.

[Saori gently puts an encouraging hand on the much younger woman's shoulder]

Can...I ask you for some help with something, Sabriel-san?

[thebellthatbinds]

[Sabriel nods, slowing to a stop as Saori places a hand on her shoulder.]

Of course.

[windandrain]

While I am performing this ritual. I...will be very weak. And when it is done I will be even more so.

[A grave responsibility to ask, but necessary]

Can you visit me at the end of the week, and help me make my way home? I do not know if I will be able to so much as walk.

[thebellthatbinds]

[She nods again, determined and glad for something productive to do for the well being of another.]

Certainly. Where would i find you?

[windandrain]

The forest, you will know where to find me by the storm.

[She offers an appreciative smile]

I would be grateful.

[thebellthatbinds]

I will keep an eye out for it then. Would you need me to bring anything for you that might help?

[windandrain]

Food and water. And...perhaps a wheelchair or crutches if you can manage. I would not want to burden you with helping me that much.

[thebellthatbinds]

I'm sure I can bring you some crutches at the very least.

[Food and water would be a given, she brings as much with her whenever she makes a trip into the forest anyway.]

[windandrain]

Thank you dear. That...would mean a lot to me. I was dreadfully afraid that something may go wrong, and I'd be without anyone to help me out of the forest.

[She adds...quietly]

If...this goes poorly, it could kill me but I would rather that stayed between us. You are my second. If I call for you, please come with all haste.

[thebellthatbinds]

[So they have even that in common it seems. Solemnly Sabriel nods, keeping her voice low.]

I won't tell anyone. If you call I will come as fast as I can.

[windandrain]

Thank you.

[Oh look, they're almost to your house...]

Please look for me. A week from tomorrow.

[thebellthatbinds]

I will. You have my word.

[No matter what comes next for Sabriel, she'll keep an eye out for that storm.]
