Even the gods envy mortals

Just as winter morphed into spring, plunging the world into a state of transformation- Rhazien wanted to ignite a different kind of metamorphosis. Almost two seasons had passed since his arrival, and in that time, his brood of Saxe yearlings had progressed- honing their skills, sharpening their knives, and fortifying their shields. And with the seasons change, they were no longer the young nieces and nephews he had come to know. They were full-fledged adults now, sporting their Saxe heritage with pride. Which meant it was time to progress into their next phase of life. Fulfilling his promise to Apollyon, Rhazien would be the one to guide them in the process. He just needed the pieces to finally fall together.

He had entered the Polar Sound alone, making his way to the cavern where Sephiran was hoarding his plaything. She was their link to the boy, and Rhazien fully intended on using her for their reunion- besides, she owed him that much, seeing he had dragged her out of her own poor attempt at escaping this hell. And so, as he approached her makeshift prison, the Saxe brute didn’t hesitate to enter her abode. Announcing his arrival with a single, guttural growl that resonated from the belly of the beast. “Aurelia,” He called out to her, motioning for her to bring herself out of the den and into the light of day.  Surely she knew why he was here. In their first encounter, they had stuck a deal. Their second, well… He doubted she remembered that. Regardless, it was time for her to deliver. “Would you be so kind…” Once she came out, he would take a seat in the snow. Looming over her with his towering frame, casting his gaze in her direction before shifting to the forestry around them. “...And call for Sephiran?” Though it came out as a request, one that was accompanied by a lighthearted tone and a flashy smile- it was a demand.

And once she fulfilled her role, Rhazien would follow her call with one of his own. Tipping his massive skull back, he released a summon for Sephiran’s brothers and sisters… and whoever else they decided to bring along. His summons were cryptic, holding no real reason for the call- he wanted this reunion to be a delightful surprise.
