Dreamed Into Life

[Ravna]

"I thought for sure the daughter of a Queen such as your mother would breed strong children. But you? You are so stupid, you will taint the children."

[Illianna]

"You've clearly never met my mother" I laugh "she sparks at her own shadow. She can't drink from a cup either lest she drown! You're thinking of Elania my fathers mistress who wears crowns. She takes my mother's place more oft than not" I say bitterly "I hate her"

[Ravna]

"Shame. That gives me less reason to keep you," she says, with a shrug. "Perhaps your friend here will be a better brood mare."

[Illianna]

"She won't. She certainly nicer than I am though." I laugh bitterly. "She's a good person. I'm not not really. I play the part of so well don't you think? Maiden fair, damsel in destress. But I could kill you where you stand. My grandmother taught me every spell she remembered for putting someone back together and I've figured out how to use them to take you apart. I nearly killed Ellana once. Father beat that out of me. He's a monster worse than you. You're all talk. Oh you e killed people I'm sure but he lets them live knowing he should have and that's how he gets you. He lets fear and shame do the work for him. At least you'd just kill me. To be fair he scares me. He burned Ella as child alive soon as it was born. At least you'll love them. This child inside me at least you'll look after them." I stand and turn to look at her "I could bear it if it was yours and not his. It should be yours. It should be you in my bead and not him I wish it was yours"

[Ravna]

Ravna moves closer to the bars, looming over her, her voice low. "You don't deserve me in your bed, you little idiot child of an invalid and a tyrant. My company you have to earn."

[Illianna]

I smile she's a tyrant but she's honest. " then let us start again. I'm Illianna and I'm bearing your child. You're right I'm going to hell May as well enjoy the ride" I press a quick kiss to her lips through the bars before pulling back

[Ravna]

Ravna pulls back, chuckling low and soft. "You be a good girl and I don't have to torture your friend. Deal?" 

[Illianna]

"Deal mistress" I grin I'm going to enjoy being wicked

[Arthur Chevalier]

She is returned to her room, and wonder of wonders, Arielle is allowed to go with her, though they lock her in the room adjacent for now. That means she'll be out of harm's way, safe and allowed to sleep in a proper bed, which she's more than grateful for. 

When Illiana gets to her room, she finds Arthur pacing back and forth within, clearly worried. "Thank the gods," he says when he sees her. "Are you alright?"

[Illianna]

"Yes! No? I don't know!" I exclaim rushing into his arms. "I think I've gone mad! I kissed her!" I giggle dancing away from him "I told her my deepest rage and then I kissed her!" I spin to face him "anyway that doesn't matter. You! You matter! Sit back I want to try something!" I say pushing him lightly towards the bed

[Arthur Chevalier]

Arthur plants his feet firmly, refusing to let her push him. "Illiana?" he asks carefully. This is a far cry from where she was mentally when he left her only a few hours ago, and an even further cry from where she was said to be in the meantime. "Are you... alone in there?" he asks carefully. The idea of taking a spirit into your body is dangerous beyond reason, but it can be done. 

[Illianna]

"Yes, oh yes! I think ive gone quite mad though but it's more fun then saying prays all day!" I giggle again and then push him once more "I want to try something!" I say again my voice wobbling a bot

[Arthur Chevalier]

"What do you want to try?" Mad seems like quite the word for it...

[Illianna]

"You!" I giggle "you've had the body but now I want to try." I smile

[Arthur Chevalier]

Arthur's eyebrows shoot for the roof. "Ah. What do you... want to try?"
