 No one knows the location of the High Court except for the leaders of each city, that is each person that is a representative within the Guildeam. Here all decisions regarding Occulas and it's allied nations are made.

❖ "But that was then and this is now Now look at me" Ⓐlexis Truesvale "The air is still, a path appears. The choice is clear, I'm finally here. Safely back in your arms... " This is the part of me That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, Throw your sticks and your stones, Throw your bombs and your blows But you’re not gonna break my soul
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊
With the announcement now given, Lucas stepped out behind them and turned around again, with a smile he said "Are we all ready?". Just then Alexis turned around with her own smile and she could feel the happiness in her heart. At the same time though she saw Lucas in a different light. He was happy too, that sincere smile across his face and his half-closed eyes along with it as he held that scroll by his waist. She had always dismissed it before, but now that he's been through so much a week ago and had gone back to his normal self, she noticed a lot. His long white-blonde hair, his regal clothes and undying complexion, if nature could sing to him as he walked through it she was sure it would try. And if he a storm tried to dull his light then he would remain dry, for the seasons would command that where he stands remains dry. She was surprised he wasn't getting knighted, but then she remembered... he's next in line as Exarch of Injustira, as a holy representative he doesn't need such titles, or better yet... he's too modest to accept them. But that reminded her of someone else too. Whilst everyone was saying they're ready she was thinking about Adi again. She's sincere just like Lucas... she tossed the thought aside and agreed to Lucas too! With that Lucas opened the scroll and on it's parchment were silver writings, but when he held it outstretched a white light emanated from it and suddenly the sound of tearing paper and reality could be heard. He let go of the curled parchment, stepping back as a portal ripped open before them. At first it was a tall oval shape, swirling with silver mist and a white glow from within, but then a few seconds later it stretched taller and taller until finally become a beam of pure white lied ascending to the skies. It seemed to ignore all impediment such as the ceilings above them, and instead made all the floors surrounding the beam of light turn invisible. Like a circular hole surrounding the beam. The ground at the portal's base slowly turned to a crystal-like silver and a warmth came from it. "Follow me" Lucas said, stepping into the portal, his body turned to silver dust and seemingly shot up into the skies. One by one, the rest followed until the Oracle was left alone and watched the portal disappear.
On the other side, Lucas appeared from the same portal but in a new place, and instead of teh portal shooting up it was shooting down at the floor. Everything was pure here, every wall, every floor, each table and chair, candle or window, everything was pristine and perfect. In the centre of the great room was an empty table, and along the wall's edge were individual circular platforms marked with different coloured crystals. Blue, Red, White, Green, and purple. Once everyone else was through the portal, Lucas welcomed them to the High Court with his arms outstretched and said "The Guildeam will be here any moment-" before the familiar sound of magic could be heard. First was the blue platform, the crystal's glowed and blue dust came together in a spirally and majestic fashion to give life to Professor Magus-bane, leader of the Arcaz Sovereignty and Headmaster of Merlin Academy. Then the red platform glowed, and from it the same but red, Arwren Guies of the Asmodius Corps stepped from it. Third was the green one, and only one member of The Circle appeared to represent Castayu Del'yir. Lastly was the white, Valorius appeared in his grand armour, but without his helm. This was the first time any of them but Lucas had seen what Valorius looks like without his helmet on. He looked youthful yet somehow middle-aged, with long, straight black hair brushed back. His bright blue eyes cross paths with Adi, and just then it seemed like he peered into her soul. For a moment he stared and Lucas looked to Adi too before Valorius stepped off the platform and broke eye-contact. It was then that he lifte his hand before him and then calmly tossed his hand aside, releasing a white butterfly made of white aura. It fluttered her way, delicately leaving behind a tail of white light. As it approached Adi it fluttered by her face for a moment before landing on her chest, where it vanished and filled her with a feeling of strength. Valorius gave her a taste of his power, a light that can give hope and strength to the weak. He sensed her exhaustion, and thought it was the least he could do yet.
The leaders ignored there seats at the table and instead came to the end where the other's stood nervously. Lucas stepped out between them and the leaders as they lined up opposite them. Lucas then introduced each of them one at a time to the group, each leader nodding their heads. And as Lucas was about to introduce the group to the leaders, Valorious softly interrupted and said "We know exactly they are, Lucas." at first seeming to be pestered, btu after a moment he appeared more charmed than anything. "Without you" he looked to them all, and admitted "Occulas and ourselves would have failed."
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ I opened my eyes to another day To things that I had known, things that happened everyday.

 You fascinated me, Cloaked in shadows and secrecy The beauty of a broken angel; I ventured carefully...Afraid of what you thought I'd be, but pretty soon I was entangled
Teach me how to fight; I'll show you how to win. You're my mortal flaw; and I'm your fatal sin Let me feel the sting......The pain....The burn, Under my skin. Put me to the test , I'll prove that I'm strong; Won't let myself believe, that what we feel is wrong
I Finally see what, you knew was inside me all along.....That behind this soft exterior.......
........Lies a warrior.......
━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━ ........Lies a warrior.......
Off so quickly she hadn't anticipated this, just the idea of packing her things sounded exhausting. She wouldn't be able to complete it by herself let only quickly; it would require the gypsy taking several naps and obvious help. Adi didn't complain though just gave a small smile and nod as she spoke.
"I just need to collect by things and saddle Venrir," she murmured as the others watched the light show though she wished she could as well.
To Adi's surprised relief though the Oracle had anticipated this and had his soothsayer and helpers about the temple to pack and saddle her new stallion for the great power animal came striding in lead by his bridle and reins. Smiling even more at the sight of the creature eased Adi's nervousness. Waltzing up to him, the gypsy ran a her finger down his velvety black snout and further down his cheek and powerful neck.
"We are going on a bit of a trip Venrir," she murmured taking the reins with a smile and a thank you to the soothsayer. Adi was of course the last one to go through with a bow of respect to the Oracle before the temple disappeared to be replaced by something completely different. "Certainly saves travel time..." she murmured wishing gypsy kind had such a magic as it would make things far easier on her people.
Holding her stallion by the reins, she didn't have much time to begin to admire the structure before others in a flurry of color and light began to appear. One after another they entered, their magic leaving a tangible tang in the air for Adi to taste and smell. The young woman watched them all as they appeared focusing on that versus the shaking in her knees and legs; she leaned on Venrir just to have a brace and in a hope that she didn't' collapse and embarrass herself before these powerful people.
That was when the final person entered in a flurry of white and armor, different from the others, and the only one to catch her eye or meet them for that matter. Blue spheres met honey amber for a moment and Adi felt a shiver go down her spine, because she knew those kinds of eyes saw a lot more then most others knew. When the eye contact broke she thought it was the last of it, but out of the strangers hand came a butterfly of purest white. The gypsy couldn't help but be awed a bit, lifting a shaking hand to reach out for it, the thing though didn't choose to land on her finger. Rather her cheset became its perch before it was absorbed and the gypsy was left gasping as strength coursed through her limbs.
The change sudden and unexpected left her a bit winded and off kilter, however it soon based and she had eyes only for the stranger that clearly saw she had been struggling. He was not looking at her however, but taking his place before the table and the group of them. Lucas only then introducing each member of the High Court and tempted to do the same in reverse but Valorious as Adi learned interrupted and gave them far to much create she thought.
"We merely did our part; it took more then us to make the battle turn in our favor and win. All the people on our side of the board had important parts to play in order to beat Lucifial," she spoke smoothly and soft, glad that whatever Valorious did allowed her to speak without sounding exhausted.

Claudia Vesslia Alexis was far to excited for this event, but she deserved to be knighted like the rest of them. They all put in all their effort into the last battle, including herself, but even then this wasn't really for her. Out of all of them, Adi and Lucas practically sacrificed themselves to save everyone. Ruby was the one to take the fall, but she did so admirably or else they wouldn't be standing here. Claudia nodded her head blankly to give Lucas her consent to leave. He unraveled the long scroll that she had mistaken as a speech, and the silver text illuminated. The ripping of paper followed and a spinning portal was created before them. It's murky glow looked soothing, but in a way it was dead. If Lucas hadn't stepped back the creation of the portal probably would have severed his limb. An image of him missing an arm popped into her mind automatically and she shook her head to remove it. The oval shape of the portal stretched out beneath them while a warm beam loomed outwards to the ceiling. A strange effect that the portal had was that it crystallized anything on the outside of it as if the casing will hold it in place. Lucas asked them to follow his lead and his body disintegrated into the portal when it went through. She insisted that everyone go before her and thanked the Oracle privately before departing.
Once Claudia arrived, she noticed the beam she exited out of was above them and not below. However, her attention was occupied by the massive room around her. The walls were more than symmetrical, and they were polished to the point where she could see her reflection clearly. In the middle of the room was a beautiful table, assembled with five chaired, and had a Gothic architecture to it. Lucas introduced them to the new environment and insisted that the council will be there shorting. Right after he said that, magic emanated from the different colored crystals that hovered on pedestals around the room. From the blue crystal, appearing within the swirling dust was the Headmaster of Merlin Academy. He is also the ostentation leader of the Arcaz Sovereighty, good old Professor Magus-bane. The red crystal came to life and presented Arwren Guies which was someone she bare knew from Asmodius Corps. The green crystal's advocate was one of the Circle's members from Castayu Del'yir. She wasn't expecting to see them so soon consider how they handled Claudia and Nyru the last time. The last person show that appeared from the white crystal was an unmasked, Valorious. He was very dashing for his age and his vibrant eyes immediately fixated on Adi. He conjured up a ghostly butterfly and sent it her way to heal her.
The blonde winked at the gypsy playfully as they all strolled up and lined up adjacent from the leaders. Lucas began to delegate the formalities, but Valorious basically stated that there was no need for introductions. They admitted that they would have failed if it wasn't for Team Elixer and Adi, Nyru, and hers' assistance. Adi humbly accepted the comment and Claudia put on a smile even though she felt like their praise was wasted on her.

❖ "But that was then and this is now Now look at me" Ⓐlexis Truesvale "The air is still, a path appears. The choice is clear, I'm finally here. Safely back in your arms... " This is the part of me That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, Throw your sticks and your stones, Throw your bombs and your blows But you’re not gonna break my soul
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ Dearly BelovedAdi was most humble in her reply, she wasn't one to let them thank them all instead of noticing the efforts of their own people too. Claudia even smiled in return which seemed to convince the others of her feelings. Arwren was next, in his golden armour laced with layers of crimson cloth. His gentle golden hair bridled with his movement as he gestured to them all and replied "But you were all brave enough to stare lies and betrayal in it's face, and you didn't give in". His tone was sweet and young, he was the youngest of all the guild leaders and was wise beyond his age. Some even hoped he would bring back the organised, brute force of the Corps to replace its recent recklessness. Laxion, recognising his leader bowed by tilting his head and bringing an arm to his chest as he said "It was our duty, My Lord". It was in that moment that Nyru had trailed off... and he was sure that Claudia probably noticed it too. There was one platform that never glowed, never gave life to the final Guildeam member, but of coarse, now he remembers. Declasia and Delorius'tatem is no longer and has not been in the Guildeam for some centuries now. Meanwhile it was Magus'bane who spoke now, his long grey beard and moustache moved up and down as he spoke, "We also understand that you did not fight alone in that cursed place", his old eyes looking between each of them as if to say he really does know. But then he chirped up, and added "however, we are thankful for whatever aide there was. But more importantly we are here to recognise yourselves". This time it was Alexis who spoke up to her leader, and said "Thank you, Professor Magus'bane". Then the Circle member spoke up, but his facial features were barely visible beneath his hood, a ghostly darkness concealed much of whatever face lied beneath, only the most defined features such as the chin, perhaps even jawline could be seen, but even they were close to black and dry. He said, with a mysterious tone "Please accept your titles", and with that each of them put out their palm and from it came a small glow of each of their guild's colours. The small wisps flew into the air and combined together into a silver light that split into 5. All of the leaders them said in unison "We dub thee Lords and Ladies of Occulas. From the ashes of triumph shall you selflessly rise with our honour". The lights hovered in front of them and upon touching them would materialise into small pendants, symbols of the Guildeam. The Circle member then said "Wear it as you please" "They will transform and obey however you choose to wear them. Necklace... pin... bracelet... weapon branding." After some moments, that was when Nyru graciously accepted his new title and took the pendant, it was cold to the touch. But the thought was still lingering, and he nervously asked "Excuse me.. But if you don't mind my asking..." he looked over to the platform frmo which he knew Declasia would have teleported to many centuries ago. "... Will the fifth platform ever be used again?" For some further moments the leaders looked amonst themselves and finally Valorius stated "We understand your curiosity, and though we have acknowledged Declasia's choices and your Conclave's recent achievement, to join the Guildeam is a two-way contract. And your Queen was who chose to leave us". Nyru nodded and agreed, not questioning it further. But that was when Arwren of the Asmodius Corps revealed "We have more we would like to give. For you, Lord Statem and Lady Vesslia, the Guildeam and the whole of Occulas will raise awareness of your people in our lands, no more sall prejudice be accepted. And for you, Lord Honoka, I order that whenever you return, the Corps recognises you for all your worth and must obey you every order - General". Laxion stared back, and wasn't sure how to reply, "I-thank you My Lord-" "Arwren, to you soldier" he gladly replied. Then Valorius looked to Adi, and said "For you, Lady Addaharra, we understand your people are the least materialistic. But our gift to you is the instrument of your choice." "It wil be shaped from the remains of the World Tree itself, blessed by the World Nexus." the Circle member added, "Your people are always welcome in our Shard". Then Magus'bane turned to Alexis, and his wise-old voice spoke to her soul as he said "And for you..." he shook his head out of his sheer respect for her, "Lady Truesvale. We have been told of your plight, of the bravery you have all showed Occulas even though our memories lie to us" to which Lucas smiled to her and them all. For he had divulged the Zoltan Crisis to them, and convinced them that what he says was real. Magus'bane went on and said " I want you to know that Merlin would have been proud... and that the Academy always recognises talent. For this give you the chance to end your studies and, as I'm sure you will. Pass your exams". Alexis was speechless. "You're kidding?" she said, gasping, feeling the tears in her eyes build up with joy. She never thought she would ever have the chance to actually finish studying at Merlin and finally graduate... and now, she had the chance. (How was that? PHEW)

 You fascinated me, Cloaked in shadows and secrecy The beauty of a broken angel; I ventured carefully...Afraid of what you thought I'd be, but pretty soon I was entangled
Teach me how to fight; I'll show you how to win. You're my mortal flaw; and I'm your fatal sin Let me feel the sting......The pain....The burn, Under my skin. Put me to the test , I'll prove that I'm strong; Won't let myself believe, that what we feel is wrong

The ceremony and acceptance of their tittles was quick and seemingly effortless. Adi thought there would have been more to it, but clearly not as all the members held out their hands and created magic with their individual colors split into six for each member of their group. Extending her hands, the gypsy found the symbol of the Guildeam.
Something, as far as Adi knew, no gypsy had been given before. To be worn as she saw fit, and before she knew it, the young brunette was manipulating it into a long hair, the symbol facing everyone as she wound her hair around and slipped it into place.
"The honor is ours my lords..." Adi murmured as she bowed to them all. She didn't think she would ever agree to being call 'Lady' but secretly she was proud but also humbled by the gift and title bestowed upon her. Adi didn't think she could really live up to it. Gypsies were never meant to be ladies, far to free and wild for such proper titles.
She did think that would be all, but the Guildeam members surprised them all with gifts, some tangible, some were more titles and ranking given, Alexis given the opportunity to complete her education. That news brought a grin to Adi's face as she saw the excitement and relief on her friends face. Her gift though, was both tangible and not; her people given welcome passage in the Shard, but an instrument of her choice to be made from the World Tree. It was most certainly an honor and would be the only instrument of its kind.
Again humbled and at a loss for words, Adi simply smiled and bowed deeply before the lords. "I can not thank you enough my Lords; I request a violin to be constructed. It is my favorite and most used instrument, I will treasure it always."
Straightening now, she looked to her friends, all given new titles and gifts bestowed. It did not take as long as Adi would have thought, but where were they to go now?

Claudia Vesslia The gentle leader, Arwren, gestured to them as a whole while stating that they were brave and withstood Lucifial's dark temptations. Laxion graciously bowed to his wise master that would reshape the disarray of the Crops one day. She had heard much about the disorder of the Crops to do its uninterested cadets from Laxion and Nyru's private conversations. The blonde couldn't help but to eavesdrop on her best friend in case he got himself into a predicament. The formal bow caught her and Nyru off guard though because it wasn't like Laxion. For a while, Claudia was curious as to how owned the pedestal with the purple crystal mounted on it. It didn't take her long to remember that it was their queen's place, but she hadn't acquitted to the Guildeam in a long time. Her reasons were valid for sure. After the realization of the missing member, Professor Magus'bane informed them of their alliance with Dorian. Or at least that's what she concluded when she read between the lines considering that Ruby was the only other fighter. He could have acknowledged her openly, but that would make them depressed so she bit her lip in anguish. Besides, the movement of his bristled mustache and bread was making her eyes glaze over like when your listening to a teacher drone on.
Alexis thanked him and the Circle's member stepped forward. His face was concealed like the rest of his brethren and even with his exposed chin his facial expressions were invisible. He asked them to accept their titles and in unison the Guildeam members stretched out their palms. A ball of light that represented their crystal colors combined together into a silver light and split into five small lights. The lights drifted down, hovering in front of each of them, as they were officially dubbed Lords and Ladies of Occulas. Claudia hesitate touched the cold essence that transformed into a pendant. She was allowed to do what ever she wanted with it, even enhance her weapon. She was about to wear the pendant as an accessory when she stopped when she thoughts clouded her judgement. In her heart, she knew who this pedant and title truly belonged too. While Nyru was questioning whether the fifth pedestal would be used again, she cupped the pedant in her hand and folded her arms behind her back. Valorious knew why he brought up the subject and said that he acknowledges the contract and respects Declasia's choice for leave. Nothing more was exchanged.
There was more gifts for them than just simple titles. For Nyru and her efforts, they were granted awareness of their land and no more prejudice for their previous engagements. Laxion's was special indeed, he was boosted up to general in the Asmodius Crops with was bestowed on him by Lord Arwren himself. Adi would receive a handcrafted instrument of her choice, she choose a violin, that would be extracted from the World Tree itself! Lastly, Alexis was given the chance to end her studies and pass her exams at Merlin Academy to become a full-fledged wizard. Claudia looked over to see the tears building up in her eyes and smiled lightly. The blonde glanced to her empty side and whispered, "What would Ruby get?" she didn't think anyone heard her.

◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ Dearly Beloved"Very well" the council member replied from beneath his hood, "It shall be in your possession before this ceremony is over". He stood silently and as still as stone for now, whilst Laxion comforted Alexis' outburst, forcing a friendly hug upon her and saying "I can't believe it!". Nyru looked to Adi meanwhile and tilted his head with a slight smile, a very sincere and heart-felt smile, "it suits you" he said. But then Claudia asked herself, what would her sister have been given. Arwren looked passed the circle member and to Magus'bane, who seemed to silently think to himself. They all heard Claudia, as quiet as she thought she said it. Valorius spoke up and was unsure on how to go about this fragile subject, but he did say "We understand that there is nothing that can mend a broken heart, and nothing can replace a loved one. However, in memory of Ruby, as we believe she came to be called, a statue may be erected in the city she grew up, Neutral. However, if you have a request, the High Court will do it's best to consider it?".

She was more then simply shocked at the news that the item requested would be given to her by end of the ceremony. Yes magic could do many things, and more so with the wood of the World Tree, but that quickly the gypsy couldn't help but question the quality. What sort of instrument could be made in such a short time.
Adi had no further opportunity to question it though as other bonding through embraces and outbursts. A smile from Nyru sent her way, there was one in reply as well; one that didn't quiet reach her eyes, but it was none the less a pleasant happy smile. Claudia herself though brought up a sensitive topic, one that the high ranking officials before them knew all to well. A statue for Ruby though, Adi looked to Claudia and Nyru for confirmation if that was what she wanted or what they believed she deserved. Ruby deserved acknowledgment that was for certain. The gypsy planned on spreading a song about her among her people that was for certain.
Did Claudia and Nyru have a better option for her? or Perhaps her comrades?

Claudia Vesslia The members assured Adi that she would have her instrument at the end of the ceremony. A lot of quality would be put into it for such a short amount of time, right? She's sure it will be marvelous if its represented to her by the Guildeam, the highest authorities in Magic Earth. Alexis was excited and Nyru complimented the gypsy as she strayed away from the conversation. Valorius overheard her and said that an object can't fix a broken heart, but there is one thing to do for Ruby. He suggested a statue of her should be constructed in Netural and Claudia's eyes widened. She couldn't have thought of a better way to honor her sister's memory and practically wanted to cry. "You would do that for her?" she questioned them as if she couldn't believe they would keep their word. "Ruby wasn't one for important titles or outrageous gifts, but I think this will please her." Claudia unfolded her hands from behind her back and held out the pedant she had just received. "Infuse this with it so that her statue will never corrode, never be defiled, and never lose its luster. Please." she bowed gratefully.

❖ "But that was then and this is now Now look at me" Ⓐlexis Truesvale "The air is still, a path appears. The choice is clear, I'm finally here. Safely back in your arms... " This is the part of me That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, Throw your sticks and your stones, Throw your bombs and your blows But you’re not gonna break my soul
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊
The leaders still stood together in a line, each of them magnificent and powerful in their own rights. And they all seemed to intently listen to Claudia's musing over Ruby's personality, something each of the others kept quiet for, it was still difficult for all of them to accept what has happened to her. Laxion liked to think that she did it for them though, just as Lucas said. He just hoped that where ever she is now, the afterlife, heaven, the underworld... the spirit world... he hoped her soul was happy. Claudia came up with an idea, and she softly asked them to imbue her statue with the pendant she was given. She must have heard the rumours, that such pendants are nigh indestructible. Laxion had often wondered why they don't make weapons out of the stuff, but others rumours say they're made from fallen stars, or the heart of a titan in the Iringod Spires. Arwren stepped forwards and put his hand over Claudia's open palm, closing her fingers back over the pendant as he said "There is no need to give up your own, we shall give Ruby her own" with a soft smile.
After a few more moments the next few minutes were used to explain some additions benefits of being Elites. It was Merlin that originally began, clearing his throat as he remembered, and saying "Oh, hm. And don't forget that the services of Unum will be open to you now. Though i myself don't understand why it's exclusively Elites in that city, but I presume it would be of some interest to you at some point." "And you'll probably find that travel between areas of our realms are considerably cheaper if not free. As Elites, you'll be travelling a lot if you so want to take up any requests we have for you in the future" Valorius added. Then Arwren replied "Yes, but anything outside of Occulas is beyond our and your titular powers, though im sure you'll be respected for it just as well".
After some more discussion, the green platform came aglow, like green embers until the magical essence weaved together to create almost an exact double of the Circle Member. But this one was holding a Violin created from the remains of the World Tree, the World Nexus. He brought it to Adi and with almost an identical voice as the other said "As you requested. You will find it's song much closer to your heart and the soul of others". Nyru leaned closer to Laxion and whispered "how did they do that so fast?" and Laxion replied quietly "They're rumoured to have one mind" to which he shivered, "Their must be no secrets between them... Imagine having someone else inside your head..." to which Nyru chuckled and whispered "I'd certainly love to get inside your head". But Laxion blushed and fell silent for the time being.

 You fascinated me, Cloaked in shadows and secrecy The beauty of a broken angel; I ventured carefully...Afraid of what you thought I'd be, but pretty soon I was entangled
Teach me how to fight; I'll show you how to win. You're my mortal flaw; and I'm your fatal sin Let me feel the sting......The pain....The burn, Under my skin. Put me to the test , I'll prove that I'm strong; Won't let myself believe, that what we feel is wrong
I Finally see what, you knew was inside me all along.....That behind this soft exterior.......
........Lies a warrior.......
━━☽Ɍυɼ'Дɖɩқą Дɖɖąɧąɼɼą☾━━ ........Lies a warrior.......
The explanation of their benefits for becoming 'elites' now as explained to them. The others may have been more familiar with such things, Adi was not, and found much of the benefits perhaps not all that useful to her. The quick travel perhaps could be, but half the enjoyment of going somewhere new was the enjoyment of getting there. Going to the city of Unum though, could be something interesting, as none of her people have gone there as far as she would know.
It would be a rare opportunity.
Rarer yet to play there with her new violin as it was currently being presented to her. It was beautifully crafted piece, the craftsmanship clear in the fine details of carvings of vines. The wood itself incredibly unique, the World Tree was a sacred thing, and rarely used for such things. So the strange that the wood was so pale it was nearly white, the engravings showing more grey around the sides. The neck and strings appearing much the same but embedded in the dark lacquered wood was perhaps mother of pearl if Adi was correct. The bow as well was made with the wood of the World Tree, the hairs spelled to be long lasting as she could sense it.
Taking it with awed and appreciative hands, the gypsy bowed deeply. "Your gift is most precious to me...thank you"
Receiving her gift, Adi wasn't sure what else was there for them to do, as she looked to her companions for guidance.
OOC: SO SRY ABOUT THE LONG WAIT!!! i spend the weekend with my folks and wasn't able to respond till now. took some liberties with the World Tree zyl, hope you don't mind hehe

Claudia Vesslia The leaders listened to her conflict over Ruby's tastes, and stared oddly at her when she offered her pendant. She hoped they didn't find her rude because she looked eager to get ride of it. On the contrary, she just wanted to give Ruby something she would have been proud of. Arwren strolled over and clasped his warm hand on to her hers re-curling her fingers over the pendant. He insisted that she keep it and that they would present her deceased sister with her own. This news almost brought tears to her eyes and she nodded gratefully. Stepping back into line with the others, the leaders explained the benefits of the Elites. For instances, the city of Unum was at their disposal and as a bonus travel to anywhere in Occulas is considerably cheaper. These offers were rather promising and she understood that the boundaries beyond Occulas are restricted. She wouldn't dare argue against these limitations nor did she need too.
Before long, the green platform activated again and another Circle member emerged from its wake. In his dark hands he cradled Adi's violin that she had requested not even five minutes ago. She knew that they shared one mind, but it was a mystery how they carved the instrument so fast. The whole instrument was symmetrical to and in perfect condition. The taut strings reflected the dim light within the room giving it a wonderful representation. Claudia awed at the crafted masterpiece before catching Nyru and Laxion flirting with one another. The blonde ducked down low and scurried over to the two to heard the last bit of their conversation. Waiting a few seconds, she popped up in between them and wrapped a friendly arm around Laxion. "Oh trust me, the last thing you want to do is get into this guy's head." she pointed back at him playfully. "How about I tell you some of his most intimate secrets." she smirked devilishly.

To Claudia's sudden addition Laxion's embarrassment turned to amusement when she turned the subject on Nyru instead. Nyru looked at her with a fearful expression before raising his hands in front of him and looking at Laxion, he suddenly felt nervous. "N-no he doesn't want to know any of that!" he defended, nervously waving his hands and looking between the two of them quickly, Laxion asked "how does Claudia know?" "Uh, she just does!". Then Alexis waved her hand above them from the other side of the room and said "Hellooooo, we could always share these secrets, I know afew myself" she whispered the last bit as if Laxion couldn't hear.
As for Adi, the two circle members nodded their heads. Now that everything was done, and the others were beginning to settle and exchange jokes amongst themselves it was beginning to signal the end of the ceremony. "Well" Magus-bane began, clearing his throat, "That will mark the end of this meeting, we all hope to see you again, not too soon though I'd like to think" the professor looked amongst all of them with the corner of his eye. Laxion smiled at the comment, hopefully know there would be a time of peace for the Guildeam. "Thank you very much" Lucas said, bowing at each leader, "I shall open a portal back to Skyfall, where you may all take Zeppelins to where ever you need to go, I'm sure rest is in mind". A few moments later the sound of reality tearing open could be heard, beside them a white energy stretched and created an oval in the air that shimmered and glowed on the outside, within was an ethereal realm of silver that swirled like metallic water and magic. The essence of the portal could be seen slowly getting pulled towards the ground. It was the enchantment of the High Court, portals work one way, out or in and no in between. The spell ensures that the portal leads far away from the secret location before sending the users to their destinations.
((You guys willing to time-skip? I was thinking preparing for going to New Coventry for a sort of... vacation of sorts? A break, its the best place to go for comfort, parties, music ;D Oh, and did i saw Lilly will be performing?))
