"Logically .. think to yourself for a moment. Ziven was being taught many techniques by Ali, they were choosing what next to teach every time she got close to completing their previous training. Ziven was someone who he cherished as if she were family. Why on earth would he then turn around and kill her? What possible excuse could he have for this?" he asked with a bit of a nod. There was no expectation of answer in this line of thought, though he still felt it should be said.

Yawgmoth grumbled at the thought though now that he said it. He was right. Sure Aliator and Yawgmoth were like brothers at one point but Ziven hadn't flown off the handle and tried to decimate an entire populous like Yawgmoth had. "As much as I hate to admit it....you make an excellent point. Then why.." then it hit him mid sentence and the dark titan sat back dumbfounded cursing under his breath. "He knows me too well.....he knew...he knew I'd abandon everyone else and tunnel vision on him if I thought he did it. In my rampage I would've believe anyone who admitted to her murder no matter how insane the logic was. He knew...he was being a martyr to stop my beastial wrath from crushing the innocent." Yawgmoth said smirking. Shaking his head he sighed, turns out Ali still knew him like a brother would know his own. "Then that begs the question. If I'm wrong. You talk like you know. Tell me...who did it? Who deserves to be the victim of the storm I have building? Give me a name, a location, whatever you know." he requested hoping Brom would trust he would spare innocent lives where he could. That only the guilty need pay.

He smiled, pleased that Yawgmoth was seeing reason again. Bobbing his head as Yawg continued speaking, he felt, in an odd way, proud of the man. "Yes, it is very true. I only know a name and, unfortunately for you, it is not going to help as it's a nickname." he said in a somber tone, clearly not mocking or lecturing in any way, just wanting to be honest.

Grumping he starred forward "Before you tell us. How did you come to find out this information? Did someone tell you, or did you find it out on your own? Either way won't make too of a difference. I'm just curious. But please, don't let me interrupt your telling me." he said leaning back in the chair. Already his brain was starting to turn gears. As to how he would find the real name, the location of the person who's nickname Brom was hopefully about to tell him. Yawgmoth already knew what he was going to do to the poor fool. A suffering he'd saved for Crow's old treacherous god Slaanesh for killing his unborn child so long long ago. Now it had use again, use to seek the same kind of revenge.

"Got my information from the source." he said with a nod, again not mocking, not teasing, not anything, just confirming. A moment later he looked mightily confused, Feldspar too. They both turned and looked back behind them. What they saw was quite confusing and surprising; the fireplace had roared in to life. "Did you do that?" he asked Yawg though his gaze was still on the fireplace.
Slowly life began again through out her entire body. Almost like what one would expect to see when restarting a computer, all her vital systems began working again, starting with a very deep breath and a heart beat. The first sensation she felt was cold. Absolute freezing cold, as if her body had been drenched in ice water. Survival instincts in drive again, she needed warmth. The fire roared in to life because she had willed it to. Though she could not feel her body, she numbly moved to her side, curling in to a ball, shivering violently. As her body adjusted to being alive again, she was mostly blind and deaf for the moment.

"Fire is light. I control darkness." he responded to his asking whether or not he'd roared the fireplace to life. Yawgmoth's senses struck a cord and he clutched his temples and bent over in pain. Despite the miracle of life, the darkness was still a part of him. It felt like he did, it listened to his every word. Sensing life within her caused it to scream out in his brain to alert him to it. It was too much all at once though. It died down and he blinked his eyes open breathing slowly letting go of his head as he looked over towards the fire to see movement. Shivering. Curled up into a ball instead of lying how Brom left her. She was..alive!? She had to be, that had to be what excited the darkness so much it nearly made his head explode. "Ziven.." he said in a whispering breath not really believing this was real. Resurrection was something that usually took hundreds of years to even learn to cast, and resurrecting ones self was a feat Yawgmoth had only seen a few times in his long life. This was..incredible.

Brom moved just enough to see for himself, she had moved. "Ziven!" he said breathlessly, jumping over the couch, landing beside her so he could take her in to his arms. His hands were shaking as he touched her, using magic to examine her, so in shock that he could hardly believe it. Feldspar barely moved, not daring to believe it.
Though it hurt to move, she did not make a sound, hardly reacting to being touched, being moved. Everything was confusing, she knew only one thing still; cold.

Yawgmoth's eyes blinked for a few moments and he stood up. His hands were shaking. So the gods hadn't betrayed him again huh? He hadn't left himself vulnerable to get crushed again. Moving over to Brom and Ziven the dark titan fell to his knees in front of the fire. "This can't be real..." he replied to Brom in a hoarse tone. "Can I?" he requested concentrating all the darkness around them to dance. Violently. It served one purpose. To expend magical energy, why? So his body would heat up from the exhaustion. Like exercise only with superhuman means. Her hard shivers made him realize that she had in fact roared the fire to gain warmth before anything. He could provide more. If only Brom would dare hand her over.

Looking at him, he smiled a bit, moving his arms showing that he agreed that Yawg should take her. "Your warmth is what she told me she likes about you most." he said with a bit of a laugh. When in Yawg's arms, he would then lean over, kissing her cool forehead.

He just kind of grinned at that response and immediately reeled her close keeping her head closer to Brom. Sitting down his arms and even his tail moved and enveloped her body in a tight hug. He closed his eyes and continued to manipulate the darkness to keep his body active, warming up from work. Though allowing himself small breaks so he didn't start to sweat. Warming her up was nice, sweating all over her probably wouldn't be as romantic he thought. Here was hoping once she was warm enough she was fine. That nothing was damaged, that she was just as she had been.

She could feel the heat of the fire, but it was not enough. Confused and unsure of what was going on. She knew she was not alone, knew the auras were familiar .. but who? She could not reach out to them, she could not remember a time in her life that she felt so cold, so sore, so weak.
As if those around her were reading her mind, despite knowing their minds were not truly touching, she felt her body being moved and wrapped in warmth. Slowly she blinked, her sight was beginning to return to her. Instead of seeing all blurs, only light and dark the difference, she now began to see shapes.
Though it had been mere minutes, it felt like it had been an eternity .. her mind could sense more, now with the warmth all around her. Her hand moved slightly and but one small word could be heard by both Brom and Feldspar, so quiet it could easily be missed. ".. ebthril.."
With a smile and a laugh from Brom, he moved closer to Ziven being held by Yawgmoth, finding it incredibly pleasing to see this sight. "Yes, my daughter, we are here." he said softly, his words echoing in her mind when he repeated with his mind, taking her hand gently in to his own. Feldspar moved closer, smiling a bit as tears fell from her eyes also, cupping her hands around both Ziven and Brom's as they held each others hands. "Incredible."

Yawgmoth's pale white eyes opened slightly looking down at the three of them "What's incredible? Did I miss something?" his twin voices called in soft unison. He smiled down to Ziven though it would be hard to see given his complexion and the darkness moving about the room. He looked back forward and closed his eyes concentrating again. This was working....working towards what he didn't know. But working was all that mattered to him now.

"She spoke .. she's confused, still .. recovering." he said softly. There were no more words from her, just feeling and thoughts. She remembered what happened before and was terrified and relieved all at once to think of this. Brom and Feldspar listened and shared her thoughts, gently returning thoughts of comfort.
She was glad for the warmth, it was relieving. Knowing she was not alone was just the inspiration she needed to know she still had all the reasons to live that she had before. Still mostly blind, sore to move and deaf, she allowed herself to relax.

The darkness moved closer to them. Around them as Yawgmoth commanded. Though it got a bit too excited and started to move towards Ziven. The Dark Titan's eyes flashed opened and narrowed. Causing the tendrils of darkness and shadow to slink back. They would feel as cold as death and that was the last thing she needed right now. "Perfect..." he replied back with half a smile.

She did not know who was there but, as always, she was thinking of others. Thinking of them, she conjured tea and four cups for them. A small smile on her lips showed her content feeling, finally confident she could close her sore eyes with out fear.
"Perfect?" he asked, curiously. Drying his eyes with his free hand, he reached forward drying Feldspar's too. When the tea appeared, he chuckled and touched her forehead. "Worry not of us. We are here for you, my daughter."
