Isidore hopped after his dad, not really sure what they were looking for, but his dad knew and that was the main thing. They stopped and he looked around. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary around. Though he could still feel those little disturbances, the souls.
"Okay. um, how do I do that?" If he had been given a job he certainly wanted to make sure that he did it right.

Well, Ankou had not thought this far ahead, though an idea came to him quickly enough. "Make sure none of them try to wriggle away ? The children do seem to think this is a game of hide and seek." The Spirit Guide let out a low chuckle. "They'll miss their family if they get separated. Sometime their actual families, sometimes you see older souls watch over the younger ones like a parent would." Especially if left to their own device for so long. This was common now, with how long the gods had been gone.
"So let me know if something happen, hm ?" He smiled.

Watch the young souls and make sure they do not run away. That seemed like a very important job, one that Isidore was sure he could do well.
"Okay dad." he replied with a grin and kept his eyes trained on the little blips in the atmosphere that he knew were spirits. "Do they get reborn with their family?" He asked conversationally as he kept watching the spirits.

"Not always." Ankou admitted. "But if they stay together... It is possible."
The actual process might not be that interesting for Isidore, who could only see flickers of it, but it thankfully would not take too long. One by one, the little blips would vanish - it did make a few smaller ones dart off, though.

Isidore nodded and kept his eyes intently on the blips. At least gods did not have to worry about such things. he didn't want to be separated from his parents. Not until he was a grown up god anyway.
As he was thinking and his dad was working he spotted the movement as the spirit darted off.
"Oh! Hey, dad, look those ones ran away." he declared, pointing in the direction of the spirits.

All it took to gat the attention of the straying ones was the simplest use of his mana - only one thought was enough for them to get back in 'line', so to speak. "They are back now. Thank you, Isidiore."
It was indeed a little easier like this. Ankou was done relatively quickly - soon there were none of the little lights left for Isidore to see. "Hmm, with that done..." He looked to the sky again. "Yes, Elfeinheim is quite rude not to have stayed where I wanted it." He muttered, not quite serious, but intending to amuse his son. They might find the teleporter before they saw the city itself. "Well... Let us find it then, hm ?"

Isi puffed out his chest with pride as he was praised and grinned. Yep, he did a good job spotting the ones that got away, or at least he thought so.
"Yeah, come on let's find it." held his hand out to his father so that he could take his hand. Afterall he did not want to get lost too like the island.

Isidore's small hard was taken into his own - which did not quite made walking as awkward as one might have though. But then, the Spirit Guide's height often varied depending in whose's company he was - a fact that did not often go noticed.
It would take a moment before Ankou stopped. "Oh, look, Isidore." He pointed to the sky with his free hand. It was just barely visible in the distance, a dark dot far up in the sky, with the barest hint of white marble spires.
About time the floating island showed up, really.

Isidore looked up at the sky as his father pointed upwards and squinted a little. He could see it, at first it looked like a cloud or something similar, though after a moment he could see it was more solid than that. He could just make out what looked like buildings and the magnificent spires.
"Wow." he breathed. "How do we get there?"

It would have been a relatively easy flight for him, but not so much for his son, so that particular idea was not exactly a good one, and would go unspoken. "There is a... teleporter of sort in that building right ahead of us. Elves are very good with magic, you see. They use mana to pull elves to the city no matter where it is."
An human trying to work the teleporter would probably be unsuccessful unless they were a very good mage, and even then... But, mana was something Ankou did not lack of, so overriding it would likely be easy.
"If they ask us where we come from, we will be drow from the mountains. We'll be allowed inside as long as we behave." Ankou winked. Isidore looked enough of the part that he would likely be overlooked, and he could simply shift. It was that or phase the boy out, which he feared might end up a little boring. "Elves really do not like strangers, and we are better not causing a commotion for now."

"What's mana?" He asked as he followed along after his father, magical transportation, it was all very exciting. he tried to concentrate on what he was being told. he had to behave and be good, he could do that and he had to pretend. he could do that too.
"We are drow from the mountains." He repeated dutifully. "What's a drow? Is it an elf? Do I look like one?" Yes, he was certainly full of questions.

And Ankou found it quite adorable, honestly. The fact that he was his son only made it all the more endearing - and the fact that he was the one answering those questions amazing in itself. Isidore and Akakios were clearly birds of the same feather.
"Mana is the very basis of all that exists in the world. The mortals that do not believe in magic might call it energy, but it is the same thing. Everything is made of mana at varying degrees." Especially them. As gods, they were nearly pure mana - the form they wore was simply for familiarity and convinence.
"They are elves that mostly live in caves or underground. Mostly black skinned, but some are blue." Which definitively made Isidore fit the part. The dark hair would be atypical, but he might simply be thought of an halfling from an high elven mother and overlooked.

"Oooh." That certainly sounded exciting. he could pretend to be an elf that lived in caves and or underground. It sounded a bit more fun than living in a normal home ... even if that was a home of doorways that led to magic lands and gods.
"Okay I can be a Drow, and I live in a cave." he gave a nod. "Are you my dad?"

"Of course." Ankou smiled. As if he would have Isidore be anything else.
As he walked, his own form would waver and shift - wings vanishing into thin air, hair lengthening but remaining pure white. His skin would darken to an hue similar to Isidore's, and that was enough to make him a quite convincing drow indeed.
"Right over there." The white tower up ahead was where the teleporter was.

Isidore watched his father with complete fascination as he changed shape and form. How awesome was his dad? He had to be the best ever.
"Oh! Can I do that?" He asked, skipping along after him. "When I'm grown up? Can mama do it too?"
