"..You've apparently never experienced a fall from great height, have you? Or had an enemy snatch the only thing that kept you from falling? Until you've experienced these things, you can't fully grasp the feeling I have when my hat is gone! It's not a matter of trust, because of course I trust you!" She was so very insecure without her precious hat, it was far more then just some ridiculously oversized hat, it held a little secret that was the source of all Autumns abilities! Though, it wasn't always a total secret, otherwise she might not of had so many enemies going after it! "Oh..ha, right then! " She would have to keep that in mind, and be extra careful now not to show any special interest in that particular mother of hers! Who knows, it could be fun this way. She nodded, grinning a bit at her next comment. "I see, well then...How surprised were you, when you seen me? Hm?! " As if the greater she was surprised, the better it would make her feel. She was such a odd one! "He,he..In that case, you continue showing off so all the others can be majorly jealous that I have such a cool mom! " She smiled that big goofy smile of hers! "You got that right! "
Of course, that smile of hers would only last so long before Astrid's wonderful, obvious comment! "Oh?! ...I didn't know that. Say the obvious one more time, serious one??! " That was certainly true, Astrid was SO serious, it was hard to believe she actually had a crush on the noisy, failure princess. "Yes, we are friends..! " She didn't seem to say much in regard to her obvious suspicion. "Ugh..! Why does everyone treat me like a helpless puppy? I can fight! I am not helpless!! " She could probably say that a hundred more times, and it would never be true! Well, some of it, anyway!

Sandalphon Moments before the portal to the Demon World closed, another figure would erupt from inside it, wielding a blade of flame as he cleaved through the demons in his path, before plummeting towards the ground. And though he landed in rather impressive fashion before brandishing his blade to smite the demons around him, he blinked as he realized... someone had beaten him to the punch. He looked around, and saw many demonic bodies--or more accurately, demonic piles of ash. "...Ah, my reputation precedes me, Upon seeing I was coming, they killed themselves out of fear. I can't blame them." He nodded to himself, seeming satisfied with his clearly flawless explanation of events around him.
Then, his eyes locked with purple eyes.
His eyes met Orpheus, and almost immediately, they both brandished their blades, dashing at each other and colliding swords in a flurry of beyond impressive swordsmanship. It would be hard for the untrained eye to keep up with their movements. With one last strike, they pushed each other back, sliding against their heels from the impact of the strike. "...Not bad."Orpheus's severe eyes moved as she noticed Ephraim, and potentially others, coming to back her up, weapons in hand. "Hold," She said, her position relaxing. A moment later, the unfamiliar man's did as well. "This man isn't your enemy. This-""Oh my gosh??!!??!?" As if Alisa hadn't fangirled enough at Orpheus's arrival, there were practically stars in her eyes as she looked at this man. "Is that...??""...Exemplar Sandalphon." Orpheus confirmed. "The first Exemplar of Serenity."The man grinned, putting his free hand to his chin as he nodded. "Ah, yes, yes... I'm glad you're all so well-educated! But of course, how could you not know my legendary feats? Why, it was I who was responsible for-!""He has a reputation for never shutting up.""...Yes, well... be that as it may, Nero told me another was earning the title of Exemplar, but unfortunately, I was too busy with my heroics to attend your ascension. Your skill certainly impresses, though!" He glanced up, waving at Autumn. "I went in there to rescue you!" He called up to her. "I just had a hard time finding you is all..." He muttered that part more to himself."Is it true you used to be a demon?!" Alisa had practically slid over to in front of him to fangirl more properly. "And you helped smite your former master with King Eskallion and my mother?!!?""...Alisa, is that you?! Last time I saw you, you were... Well, I guess it wasn't that long ago." He nodded, a very satisfied expression on his face. "Yes, yes, the very same! I underwent trials to shed my demonic skin, and those trials became the standard to which all Exemplars are held.""Wow... Exemplar Sandalphon is so cool...!""Haha! You'll make me blush. But yes, yes I am." Orpheus had the flattest expression possible as this entire exchange happened. "But, you guys are all my friends now, so feel free to just call me Jake. I doubt you've been calling Orpheus Exemplar Metatron all this time!" (( OOC: ))

Autumn glanced down as her eyes caught the glimpse of something plummeting to the ground, No doubt that alone was an impressive move, as she continued to observe, a small amused smirk came across her features as she could practically see the question mark over the poor mysterious ones head. She was a bit high however, so hearing anything he may of said was next to impossible. It did look as though he was confused, at the very least. In the way he readied himself to fight again, only to find there was nothing but ash in the places that once were demons. "He seems surprised..Nothing left for him to play with.." She grinned.
Until of course, miss purple eyes was on the scene rather immediately, and the fight he didn't get with the demons, would happen instead with her. At the height she was though, still didn't give her the BEST view, at least not the details. She had no idea who these two were, but she found her curiosity growing. Although it was brief, those few moments of clashing swords was incredible, no doubt! It was hard to impress Autumn unless it was someone really special to her, yet she found these two quite amazing.
"Just a little closer.." She leaned forward a bit, 'Broomie' there began to lower her to a much shorter distance, at least, she wasn't quite so high that she couldn't hear, or talk to the ones down below. 'Ooohh! It's them..! " The respect was SO strong, what would have happened if they were evil, and demanded respect? Autumn would probably be sent to the moon and never would return again! "I thought you two looked familiar.." She was....suddenly beaming a bit, that goofy smile returning. "Eh heh! Really now? You came to rescue me? I guess in the end, this wasn't such a bad thing, look how happy everyone is to see the two mighty Exemplar's, especially her. I think there is actually stars in her eyes. " She flicked her wand towards Alisa, and what would appear within her eyes, but not hurting her, or causing any discomfort or vision loss, was exactly that, stars glittering in her eyes for a few seconds. "You can thank me later, had I not opened that portal here, it would probably be ages til anyone got to see Mr.Jakie here! " Yes, opening the portal and flooding the island with demons was the best thing ever!
Ephraim may of came with others, yet one in particular stood a little closer to his side, a woman of long two tone colored hair of crimson and blue, while her eyes also had the same different matching colors of crimson and blue.Having only recently gotten here, she was still very unfamiliar with anyone but Ephraim, and she found herself looking to him with questioning eyes. She wasn't necessarily shy around new people, but it wasn't exactly a normal situation. "Do you know them? " Alear finally asked him, as if she wanted to be sure they were people she could trust.
"......" Azura, meanwhile, was standing behind Alisa with the most uninterested look anyone could ever have, it was not far from the most jealous look ever, either! With arms crossed, she looked at both Orpheus, and next, Jake. Her focused seemed to settle on Jake much more, considering Alisa's starry little eyes were staring at him so intensely! She was practically drooling, wasn't she?! "...Everyone has their own special abilities...I see no difference here. There is hardly anything that special about him. " Oh, how FUN Azura was when she got severely jealous!

Camael Ever since being brought to this group by that wicked-yet-hot goddess, Camael had done nearly everything in his power to avoid everyone. He wasn't typically anti-social--or at least, he hadn't been, before--but what exactly was he supposed to do? Just pow-wow with everyone like the past five years didn't happen? At the time, he had been happy to help keep Athena safe. And he still was, but... he also lost five years of his life because he was sent to die as a faceless knight. All his fellow knights died, and he would have too, if not for this curse he accepted. Years of his life had been taken from him, and his time with Krul after his awakening had only served to further jade his viewpoint. He couldn't help but feel like his place was at Krul's side, and he shouldn't be here. But he also knew that wasn't a healthy mentality..."And why isn't it?" Came that pleasantly horrifying voice he had grown so familiar with. "Krul is a powerful woman. She knows what she wants. With us at her side, she may well achieve it.""I'm glad things are so simple for you..." He muttered in response. "But Athena-""Isn't the same girl she was when you left her. Neither of you are the same. Stop clinging to the past. The way to the future is at Krul's side.""...There are many ways to the future." Camael muttered in response. Still, he couldn't deny he found those words convincing, to some extent. It was... difficult.
Though he hadn't been paying much attention to the conversations happening nearby, he and the demon within him both had a sudden and visceral reaction as Sandalphon made his appearance. Even though neither were facing the man, they both felt him.
The demon within felt him first, and Camael's connection to him made sure they both felt it. Their body began to shake, and they stood from where they had been sitting.
Eyes wide, they walked, slowly--one foot in front of the other--marching towards the storied Exemplar. By the time they neared him, they were convulsing violently, eyes fixated on him. "...Who... are... you?" They asked, a demonic overlay taking over their voice for the second and third word. A silver aura began to envelop their form, as their minds began to join..."Uh, you okay, kid? Are you-..." Sandalphon audibly gasped, taking a step back. "How-?!" He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed that presence before. "Get back!!" (( OOC: ))

Camael A surge of silver power enveloped their crimson-haired form, and when it dissipated, what remained was a form only two had ever seen prior. There was no more shaking, no more convulsing--just a stoic figure, floating above the ground, inspecting his hand. The aura around this man was unquestionably demonic--it was thick with demonic energy. "...Curious." They said, before turning their attention to the silver-haired man. "Why do we feel so much familiarity towards you? Why do we want to destroy you? Who are you to us?""...There's no goddamn us. Let that child go!" Sandalphon yelled, raising his blade once again."Our souls are one. To remove one would destroy the other. You misread the situation.""Yeah, bullshit." His eyes narrowed. "You should've been dead. I'll get you away from him even if I have to pry you off with my own hands!" He dashed forward, and his blade was caught by the demon's free hand. "...You shouldn't underestimate me. I'm MUCH stronger than I was last time!" A surge of fire erupted around him, forcing Camael to step back, raising his now crimson blade to meet Sandalphon's own."Our memory is hazy. You show familiarity, so explain it to us. Then we can decide if you must be destroyed.""Oh, I'll explain all right. You're the scourge that tried to destroy Serenity a thousand years ago--the Demonic God I once served. It took all our might to put you down, and I'm not letting you get that strong again! DIE!" He shoved him backwards, going on a relentless onslaught of attacks with Camael, to his credit, impressively managed to keep up with.Slamming onto the ground there behind Camael and catching his attention, the Dragon King's wings folded back into his back as he raised his sword, slamming it down aggressively towards the all-too-familiar demonic presence. Camael raised his arm, grunting as he caught the sword while his other held Sandalphon at bay.Appearing in front of him--the Raven Queen herself, raising her arm and causing his body to freeze and him to grunt. "Abomination." Althesa said coldly."Heh, is this ringing any bells? The three of us stopped you before, we'll do it again!""We won't let you plunge our world or this one into chaos again!""...So be it!" A crimson explosion of demonic energy jettisoned out of his body, forcing his three adversaries back. "Destruction it is," Turning, he hurled his blade, throwing it directly into Eskallion's chest, causing the king to grunt and stumble backwards. Resummoning the blade to his hand, he charged Althesa, who managed to deflect the blade with magic."Mother!""Alisa, we must destroy him!""...Y-yeah, but..." But was that really the only answer?"Why are you hesitating?" Carmen descended swiftly, hurling a bolt of holy fire towards the demon, who narrowly dodged it."If the world is going to be our enemy, maybe we do belong at her side." The demonic being muttered to themselves. They knew this wasn't a fight they could likely win--they needed to create an opening to escape... (( OOC: ))

      It was as if she came out of no where, after a slow recovery of the shock that went through her mind upon seeing the familiar face she hadn't seen in years, turn into someone else..it didn't take long for her figure it out, Jake's comments sure made that clear, too.
Now standing between silver-haired demon, and everyone else, Athena raised her hands in a protective manor, as though to keep everyone away from him, and while it may be hard to tell, to protect them from him as well. "..Must everything be done through violence? Is the only real solution to everything to kill? ...I don't know a lot about what's happening, but I do know I Camael is a part of him, you heard it yourself. I don't believe he said this to sway you're minds from attacking him..If they are connected, I absolutely will not allow anyone to harm him! Camael is right here...Let me talk to them. Let me talk to them alone! " With them all there, standing with every kind of weapon one could think of, she really couldn't see this as the most pleasant or private way to speak to him. Lowering her hands after a moment, she quickly closed any little distance from her and Camael, by slipping her arms to his, interlocking them so as to keep anyone, or him, from trying anything! "If you are as powerful as you seem, teleport us somewhere away from them so that we can talk..I don't think I can stop them for long, so please..let's go somewhere else!" She would say into his mind. It was a BIG island, there were plenty of places if she didn't want to go to far. Turning to him briefly, he may notice the look of severity in her eyes replacing those innocent ones as they narrowed to his seriously. "You don't want to be defeated, do you? Then you will listen to me! " She demanded, maybe something would stir the demon there if he was spoken to in a less kind manor! If she had to change her entire demeanor just to get him to listen to her, she would do it! Whatever it took.

CamaelCamael's body controlled by two hearts in sync knew better than to think they had the advantage here. If Sandalphon's words were true, these three before had defeated the demon within at the height of his power, and they weren't at that peak right now. And even if they were, there were multiple other incredibly powerful beings here, most notably Ephraim with his demon-killing Sacred Twin and Carmen with her world-shaping magic. So, they had to escape, but it wasn't as simple as teleporting away. With Carmen here, that wasn't such a straightforward option. So when the opportunity presented itself, they took it--the moment Athena stepped in front of them, Althesa raised a hand to remove her quickly, but even quicker, the man in the demon form grabbed her from behind, pulling her close and affixing their grip against her throat tightly. "We're leaving." They said. "If you don't want this girl's throat ripped out in front of you." Their eyes cut to Carmen, whose own eyes narrowed. "Do not prevent us." Carmen had a powerful Counterspell ability, which allowed her to cancel magic being cast and send the caster's system into brief shock--and that included teleportation. It was yet another reason she was a terrifying enemy to have."...How far do you think you can run?" She responded dangerously. "How far do you think is far enough? Do you think I won't find you? Do you think, even if you escape, you'll ever be free? Let her go, and your death won't be grueling. Keep threatening her, and I'll shred you slowly, atom by atom, until nothing is left!" This was probably one of the last people anyone would want to piss off, and threatening to hurt Athena really pissed her off.(( OOC: ))

Minerva A wide pink seal of immense magical power suddenly extended out from beneath the feet of everyone in the area, expanding aggressively to encompass the entire scene. Everyone present would feel themselves frozen solid, unable to make even the slightest muscle twitches upon being above this seal. A moment later, another pinkish-blue seal would materialize above them all, parallel to the other one--and a moment later, Camael, Sandalphon, Eskallion, and Althesa would all experience a sudden, forced, deep sleep. The seal below them all would vanish in a pink mist, and the four would collapse to the ground. The seal above would follow suit, and the origin of this powerful magic would descend, floating slowly down to join the group. "I see the end of all things... as clear as daylight." The unfamiliar young woman would say with a mystic note to her voice, opening her once closed eyes."...Impressive." Carmen said. "Powerful weaving abilities... Well done, daughter."Crossing her arms under her chest, the small-framed girl shot a blank look to Autumn. "Already?" Because clearly it was her fault!"You put down all those who wanted a fight aside from me. Is that because of our bond, or because you were unable to?""The latter." She raised a hand, pointing towards her mother as a pinkish orb appeared there on the end of her index, pulsating with intensely powerful celestial magic. "You are more powerful than I am. But if you try to kill him, I will delay you.""I wouldn't want to hurt my precious child... but why do you protect him?""...His life stands at at crossroads. A confused young man housing the soul of an old god. Conflict will force him onto one road, and I have seen the result. I would sooner see him travel the path of the righteous." She said severely. "In the pursuit of harmony, I will battle family and foe alike.""...Well, I'll trust you. For now. But if he threatens Athena again... I will ensure he regrets it.""..." Minerva lowered her arm, turning towards Athena. "It's in your hands. The most I can do is erase Sandalphon's, Eskallion's, and Althesa's memory of this encounter. That will give you time. His strongest emotions are tied to you. If anyone can save his soul, it's you." No pressure.  (( OOC: ))

It was no secret Athena wasn't the best of skilled fighters in this team, yet, when she got in front of Camael, she showed no fear in the presence of someone who could clearly end her very quickly. When he reached out to grab her, she didn't scream in fear for her life while his hand was tightly against her throat, she was instead........very calm.He would feel her hand come up to the hand he had around her neck, yet it wasn't a grip of her trying to remove his hand, rather, she rested hers softly over his..Maybe she seen this as another opportunity to leave with him? She didn't care about any danger, because Athena trusted him...no matter how many years apart, or the changes he so obviously faced, she would always trust Camael.."It's..okay.." She managed to get out, with his hand still at her throat, her words were obviously a bit struggled, but to the point..If Carmen looked at her in the eyes, she would see that like in her voice, there was no fear there..just her own determination to save the person she cared about so much. "Let us go.." She said to Carmen.."Trust in me!"
Unfortunate for Athena, her plan wasn't working so well, as the pink seal of incredible magical power was below all of them. In her position however, she really couldn't look down to see the seal, and it didn't help that that very power caused everyone, including her, to be unable to move even a single muscle. As the next seal came, all Athena would come to realize was the grip of her throat was released, and she could breath better! Not only that, her movement was restored the moment Camael dropped down, along with the other two, including her mother. "..???! What happened?! " Her eyes found their target, as the very pink figure descended down to them. "What did you do to my mother and Camael?! "
As suspicious as she was, hearing the..confusing conversation between the two, it became quickly clear she wasn't an enemy, but even trying to help Camael. "...I....I see...Thank you.." She glanced away from them, to the sleeping one below her. "..No, you don't need to tamper with their memories..Just..keep them asleep at least a little longer..Can you give us some privacy? How am I to help him if all he see's is enemies all around him? Please just trust in me..I can do this..I Will help him! "

Astrid After all the excitement had died down for the most part, and Carmen had, for the moment, stopped chatting with her, when Autumn next turned, she'd see Astrid's face rather close to hers, a scowl adorning her gorgeous face. "...Why didn't you tell me?" She demanded, and her tone was about as happy as her expression! "Why didn't you tell me you were doing something so risky? Why didn't you at least tell Annette? Isn't she one of your best friends, if not your best friend? Do you know how worried I- how worried she was?!" She leaned back, letting out a short sigh. Raising her head again, she let the scowl and lecture die down, as her expression was replaced with a soft smile. "I'm glad you're okay..." She said softly. "You're not as much of a screw up as people think, I know... but I still- ahem, people still worry. So. Tell me next time." ...The smile was slowly replaced with a glare. "...Understood?" She asked through clenched teeth. Probably good to understand!"Ah, Autumn!" Reiner called out, as he, Annette, and Hiyori made their way to the two. Reiner's blade was drawn, but seeings as the threat seemed dealt with, he swiped it to the side, twirling it once before sheathing it. 'It's no wonder Astrid took off so quickly! Haha. The moment she felt your presence, she was just gone, like a bullet! She looked so worri-""AHEM!" Astrid cleared her throat loudly, coughing, if only to cover the slight coloration on her face. "Autumn is Annette's best friend. I just know she'd be sad if anything happened to her.""Uh huh..." Annette responded in the least-convinced tone that anyone could possibly have. "I hope you're at least fooling yourself, dear sister. You aren't fooling anyone else." She grinned, looking at Autumn. "I'm glad you're all right! Gosh, I've been missing you!" She said giddily, throwing a quick hug around her dear friend. "It's been awful without my future sister-in-law around, heheh...""What, are you planning to marry Minerva?""Still not fooling anyone!" She giggled, stepping back. "...You think I'm hotter than Hiyori, right Autumn? Right?!" Oh for the love of... (( OOC: ))

"How rude! Not even one thank you.." Autumn said with mild irritation. It was hard to believe she really was finding the once dangerous situation as such a great thing! "Bringing people together, yes, Autumn, you did gr--! Ah! " In the middle of her praising ...of herself, what she was faced with as she turned nearly made her jump out of her skin! Astrid's angry looking face, right there, and so close! She clearly wasn't so keen on her senses, or her surroundings, was she! "You sure are sneaky! " As if she was even trying to be! "I mean....when have I ever? I'm up for the risks, but i'm not up for risking others with me. My control with magic may not be as perfect as the rest of my family, and sometimes things go wrong. I can admit that! And that's exactly why I don't tell you or Annette. I've never gotten into a situation I couldn't get myself out of, you know! " She explained, for the most part, she was being honest, and not quite so much joking. "You don't have to worry about the Great Autumn! I'm perfectly fine...though, it's so cute, you're acting so worried and protective of me is the best feeling! " Her seriousness could never last long ,though.."Oh.." She reached up, rubbing the back of her neck as she laughed nervously. Was that even a compliment? "Thanks..I mean, think of all the good, amazing things I did over the years! You know! There was that time when..." Her mind fell blank, and there was a silence over the grounds with Autumn struggling to think of all her great deeds! "..Er..I mean. That time when......-- N- Never mind! " Oh, how embarrassing! She couldn't come up with ONE good thing she ever succeeded in!
That soft smile Astrid so perfectly put on at the right moment, drawing her into believing she was out of the angry-Astrid-woods, was a good one, as that glare next came, causing Autumn to giggle oh-so-innocently! "You're so cute when you get so angry. " She winked at her,grinning widely before her attention was brought to Reiner. "Oh...really? He,he, her arrival was nothing short of amazing, too.. " She beamed, there was a strange way about Autumn, her beaming face could be both cute, and goofy at the same time! She was certainly a mystery, she certainly didn't act like her parents, Autumn was her own unqiue self and quite proud of it! "The way she took out those demons that were after me..ah, it was great. " There was at least ONE thing she had in common with one of her parents, being protected was quite a thrill for her.
Finally, as Annette began to speak, causing Autumn to snicker knowingly, returning the hug with just as much affection. "But of course, I'm always perfectly fine. As if anything could ever really get to me. " She still had so much confidence, despite knowing she was out matched of her siblings. "I missed you too, besties! " Besties, because she obviously missed the both of them! "Ah, haha..." Her next comment made her laugh, though the coloration to her face was hard to miss.She may be slow with her magical abilities, but catching on to these kinds of things, wasn't so hard!
"Hmm??? " She finally blinked, a bit caught off guard by Annette's last question, glancing from her, to Hiyori, then to her again. "Oh! That's easy..of course it's the pretty Forest Elves! " "..Someone needs their eyes checked! " Autumn turned to look at Hiyori, smirking. "Someone needs their boobs deflated. That's all anyone ever cares about with you, boobie-brain! "

Astrid "...I've been right here the entire time." Astrid responded flatly, as if she had heard the dumbest thing of her entire life. Did she forget she had been by her side this entire time?! "...Autumn. The second your lucky streak runs out, you're dead. Read my lips. I am not going to let that happen. So tell me next time. Or else." She wasn't about to get into some debate about whether or not she should. She was GOING TO. As Autumn struggled to think of anything good she had done, though, one easily came to mind for Astrid. "...What about a few years ago, I believe it was mine and Annette's fifteenth birthday party. Mother--Azura--baked a lovely cake with decorations combining the forest and ocean. It was a rather beautiful work of art, almost a shame to eat it. But I'm certain it tasted even better. Not that we ever found out, because you made it fly. ...Or tried to. It flew about two meters above the table, before falling backwards right onto you." She paused a moment, before bringing up a hand, covering up a small laugh. "Hehehe... Annette and I talk about that often. A very memorable moment." That was definitely the kind of good amazing thing she was talking about!! "I still remember Annette said something strange while Unisha tried to help you get clean. Told me I should... eat the cake off you. Whatever that meant." Ah yes... Astrid was perhaps not as dirty-minded as her twin or her elf mother! Though Annette certainly wasn't as bad as Alisa. Probably for the best!
Then came the next moment. Her very threatening words were practically brushed off completely, and... she was called cute. Cute? Cute? Autumn may not notice, as she looked away a moment later, but Annette certainly saw in mild horror as the three came upon the scene--the flash of rage on her twin sister's face. Uh oh! Autumn might jump as she would hear--and feel--Astrid stomp a step closer to her, causing the entire ground around them to shake for a moment! "Is this a joke to you?" When Autumn looked at her next, she'd realize Astrid was right there, standing inches from her, staring down at her--completely bearing down on her. Autumn may feel the need to step back, and she'd find her back against a tree when she did.
Stomping closer, Astrid's eyes flickered red as her hands clamped like iron vices against the tree on either side of Autumn, further entrapping her like a cornered animal. "This is your life!" She said, her voice fitting her even angrier eyes--and her long, raven-black hair bled into a silvery-white color. "You will obey me! Give me your word! Now!! I WILL PROTECT YOU! I... will not... lose you! Do you understand me?!" Autumn had made quite the grave mistake in brushing off Astrid's concern, it seemed! Her eyes and hair change preceded her clothing bleeding into red. This form of hers wasn't unknown to those close to her, but it was very rare. It only came out when she became genuinely enraged, and it seemed Autumn playing around with her own life had brought it out of her.(( OOC: ))

"What?? Really, I didn't know that! " Autumn responded with her usual playful, sarcastic tone. Pretty obvious she was there the whole time, she wasn't THAT dumb, Astrid there didn't seem to get her meaning behind her sneaky comment. "I look away one moment, and you're right in my face. That's another form of sneaky, you silly elf you. " She tried to explain, as if it really mattered! Though, she didn't exactly want her to think she was that dumb, so probably a good idea. "...I've been at this for a long time. You make it sound like my luck will run out for certain, but I don't intend to let that happen. I enjoy life too, I don't plan on dying anytime soon! " She was VERY stubborn, just one of Autumns million faulty traits. "Look, Astrid. I really appreciate your concern, I love how much you care, but...maybe I care more for you then you know. You have a big, happy family, a twin sister, I think they come first before little me. I can't risk your life for my missions."
Ah, another embarrassing moment, Autumn couldn't come up with one single good thing she ever did in her life so far, maybe it was true, opening that portal that lead to the first Exemplar to come through was her best thing. It brought a lot of happiness between some of them at least! "..Oh..I don't know if I could call that a amazing thing.In the end, it was an amusing day, but at the same time I felt really bad for days after that! I was just...trying to show off for you, I thought if I could make the cake fly you might be impressed! ...It falling back onto me wasn't the plan. That's why the very next day, we brought you both a new one. Not as impressive as your mother's work, but it was something, right? " It didn't hold a ocean theme, but it was very foresty, with added tiny vines going across little 'tree's, forming the word Happy Birthday, Astrid and Annette'. In the middle a cute little pond made of icy blue icing, it was pretty cute in the end. "..So you mean to say, even though I destroyed your birthday cake,you still enjoyed that day? " Autumn paused, blinking as she explained what Annette told her to do that day. "..Oh, did she...I'm almost not surprised.." She said with a tiny blush.
Their conversation of past memories would come to a sudden and quick end, as Autumn's ignorance seemed to do more then she expected, she messed up again,didn't she? "...???" From the shaking ground with just her step towards her, Autumn's eyes widened a bit in surprise. Did she ever see her so angry before? Not ever. "..Um..." She found herself struggling for words, instinctively taking a step back upon realizing how intimidatingly close she was to her, only for her back to hit against the tree she didn't know was there. Her heart was certainly picking up in speed, and her eyes could no longer leave Astrid's fiercely angry ones. Nor could she leave the area if she wanted to, with her hands clamped onto the tree to either side of her, trapping her there and leaving her to stare into those suddenly really hot red eyes. Oh yes, despite the situation. Autumn was getting a little lost in the moment. She had triggered the rarest form of Astrid, and that wasn't easy to do. But gosh, it was making it hard to think of anything but how incredibly intimidatingly hot she was like this! "Oh,god...W-would you hate me if I said you are really hot when you're this angry? " What a thing to say! She couldn't...think..of anything else! It took quite a bit of struggling with her mind to stop thinking like that, but it was hard. Of all the battles she threw herself in, this was the hardest one of all time! The more she said, the more she demanded she listen to her, and the more she so clearly wanted to protect her, the more Autumns struggle would become."......F-fine! I'll give you my word....but only after you kiss me! -- " In her little world, that kiss, if it happened, would be a sort of seal that bound them together. But Autumn figured in this state, she probably wouldn't fall for that. She was far to angry to kiss her, wasn't she? So, without any further words, with her still free hands, she reached up one to bring up and around the back of Astrid's head, pulling her head down closer to her, while Autumn tried to lean up a little, practically forcing her angry protector into a sudden kiss!

AstridThe more Autumn spoke, the more irritated Astrid grew. "I have a big happy family? And you don't? Will you STOP trying to make this DIFFICULT?" She was getting SO very irritated. So much so that she didn't really have much else to say about that little memory--and her anger would manifest itself soon after.
"...This isn't the time for jokes! I'm serious!" Still... she couldn't deny hearing her longtime crush say that was exciting. And if it helped her get her point across, why not lean into it? Well, that's how she'd rationalize this later, as in this form, she acted almost entirely on emotion. So she gave very little thought to grabbing Autumn's wrists and pinning them against the tree. "Hot, huh..." Autumn might find it was getting a little too hot, as she'd feel the aggressive elf's knee come up suddenly between her legs, pressing roughly against her core! "You WILL obey me, even if I have to force your body to submit to mine." She practically growled into her face, pushing against her a bit harder!
Then came the next moment, as her grip on her wrists wasn't super tight obviously, so Autumn could slip them out. However she ended up doing it though, she'd surprise the enraged elf with a kiss. A kiss... from Autumn. This was something she had wanted for so long. ...It was hard to focus on anything else. Her knee relented, allowing Autumn to take control of the situation with that forced kiss of hers. Closing her eyes, she found herself relaxing rapidly in that unforgettable moment. All she could think of was how nice Autumn tasted, which was a rather inappropriate thought. Or was it? ...She wasn't very experienced in this field. Slowly, Astrid would release her as her hair, eyes, and clothed returned to normal, so by the time the kiss parted, Autumn would be looking at typical Astrid once again, perhaps to her disappointment! "...Ah..." Did that just... happen? She took a step backwards on uneven feet, and ended up stumbling and falling backwards entirely. Blinking several times while on the ground, she looked up, making eye contact with Autumn again. ...And her face turned a rather deep shade of red almost instantly. That had all happened, hadn't it? She quickly got to her feet, turning away to hide her wide eyes and red face. "...W-we're agreed then! Good... Just... consider me your retainer from now on. You gave me your word!" Oh god, she was never going to lose this blush. Autumn had quite the power over the poor Forest Princess!Meanwhile, after things calmed down a little and Autumn answered Annette's question, the princess would respond with a wide, beaming smile. "...YES!! I knew you'd! Have taste!! You know I'm the best!!" She threw her arms around Autumn excitedly. "Forget Astrid, I'M going to marry you now!" She said playfully, releasing her to march up to Hiyori smugly. "Ha! Haha! I win! How does it feel to be a loser?! I wouldn't know!!""...One person said you. Around 40 said Hiyori." Astrid reminded her, while still facing away from everyone. Had to remind her of that. Was that really a win?".......Y-yeah, but... Autumn is... Th-that's.." ...And slowly that smug expression melted into utter defeat, as she crumbled down to her hands and knees, right there in front of Hiyori, again. She was going to get used to bowing down to her at this rate. "Ughhhhh......!!" Yeah, Hiyori had still utterly crushed her. She couldn't try to pretend otherwise!(( OOC: ))
