Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Lucky you, I'll always get sloshed by one or another))

She leaned against a wall for a moment, almost falling asleep right there at that spot. No. No time for sleep. She had things to do. She had to safe guard the entire proceedings of what she was going to do. No screw ups, if she screwed up it would probably mean the end of both Egyptian and winged wolf. "Oh yes, Aurahkah, Kamenwati, the High Priestess, the tomb robber, with a taste for taking chances. " She pushed herself off the wall and continued walking slowly. 'You're talking to yourself out loud again Aura...you're also reprimanding yourself in your own head...'

No where fast. Body tired, mind wide awake. Time for another caffeine boost. Aura dragged herself to the kitchen, where upon entering she saw Phea. She watched her for a moment, half asleep half thinking too hard on the angel. What was it that the others said? That she was always thinking too hard? She shook her head for a moment as if dismissing the battles in her head. "How are you holding up Phea?"

Aura shrugged. "Pretty good I guess. Though I'm depriving myself of sleep instead of food. I shouldn't because I need the rest, but you know there just doesn't seem like enough time...besides why sleep and not be ready for what I need to do...when I can that is. Eclipse needs to be here and he ran off somewhere doing something or other..." She brushed a few stray strands out of her face. 'When did I brush my hair last? This morning or would that be yesterday? Gods how long have I been up now?' Aura let out a soft laugh directed at herself and sat down at the table.

"Coffee would be wonderful." Aura sighed a moment. "In a short sweet explaination...I'm bonding myself with Eclipse. It's for his benefit of course, and he's agreed to it. I'm just the one that has to do all the work...being the bond caller and all." She laughed again. "I'm sorry, you probably have no idea what I'm going on about..." She ran a finger along the grain of the table. 'Mind poking will only find you in the midst of nonsense and babble...I really shouldn't think to myself like this.'

Aura took the coffee and sipped at it for a moment. "Well you see, ever since you all mentioned exactly how at risk Eclipse is to just, well poofing, from existence I've been thinking on it, trying to find a way to make his existence permanent and not worry about him going poof. 'Stop repeating yourself.' I found a spell that was used in my time called Spirit Synthesis. Basically a bond caller, in this case me, calls a spirit bond to another creature, being Eclipse. So their spirits basically fuse together and they share various aspects of their beings."

She smiled for a moment. "Though here's the good part. The bond caller, me, controls the life force of the two thus Eclipse is safeguarded from any magic dispelling effects. In return for the life force control, the bond caller bears a mark that represents the other bonded spirit...wow I just explained something that took me three days to fully understand..." She was quiet for a moment before she looked to Phea, seeing if she had caught exactly what Aura had just said.

Aura laughed. Now that was an image. And a disturbing one at that. "No, I won't be growing wings or anything of the sort. According to the text, the mark is more like a tattoo, it's location and design chosen by the other in the bond." She laughed again. "I'd have a fit if I woke up looking like that..." She took another drink of her coffee before smiling. "It's good to see you smiling and teasing again Phea." Aura then looked down at her coffee. 'I hate coffee, yet I drink it...maybe I just like the smell so much I just cant' resist drinking it. Oh Gods, I hope this isn't broadcasting out with all the mind readers around here...Aura as you've never seen her before.'

"Yes, that's the Phea we all love to see...teasing about something or other. And he wouldn't dare, I would control his life, not to mention we would share physical injuries... and there would be much much physical harm. I would simply heal myself and let him deal with his own. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. He knows that one well."

"Do I look that bad?" Aura peered into her mug, trying to catch her reflection in the liquid. After a moment she gave up and hoped she didn't look too bad. "I haven't gotten all of the specifics down, but by the way the incantation seems to go I plan on having someone else there besides me and Eclipse...just in case. One slip up and it's bye bye Aurahkah and Eclipse. I don't know exactly what I'm doing, so it's a bit frightening. And that's saying something seeing all the things I faced." She paused for a moment and gave a slight laugh that was accompanied by a frown. "Actually, I'm terrified of this all. I mean what if something does go wrong? My life is one thing, but Eclipse's is another."
