You’re an amazing mom. And I am so lucky to have been able to help you out with things in the past. And I’m lucky to help you now.” Ash pointed towards the portal. ”I would love to catch up a little bit. Would you like to come with me? We can do that and get your medics examination done?” She stared at the portal.
Through the Living Elan He/Him Posted October 3, 2025 Posted October 3, 2025 12 hours ago, InfiniteInsanity said: Ash appeared very quickly on the other side of the portal. ”Insa!? What the heck? What have I told you abo-“ She looked through the portal. “Oh.” Insa gave her a pained smile. “Good to see you Ash. Aventine needs a medical examination. I was planning to send Elan and Gem along as well.” Ash nodded and stepped through the portal. She went right up to Aventine. “Aventine do you remember me?” Ash spoke very softly and gently. Elan enters the portal?

She blinked, opened her mouth, and then closed it. Ash might see a subtle movement; Aventine moved her hand to grab the skirt of her dress. The fabric started to slightly vibrate.

Ash carefully picked up Aventine and carried her through in a Princess carry. She carried her into the nearest room and set her down on the bed. Other Side of the Portal Insa made her way over to Aventine’s father. ”Sir? Are you alright?”

I may need some assistance. Other Side of the Portal Insa waited for a respond for a grand total of 5 seconds. ”You know what I don’t really care.” Insa turned to head through the portal ushering Gem through with her. @Ancient Elantrian

She slowly turned around. As she did so lighting seemed to come from no where. There was no thunder just a silent stream of flickering light. It wrapped around Insa’s neck and then her left arm. “Do you really believe I would give you the opportunity to do so?”

Her eyes had shifted from a deep brown to an electric blue. “I would and I will give my life to protect them.” She smiled, “Though against you? I think I’ll be okay. I’ve got some pretty powerful beings on my side.”

Insa stood over him for a moment and then summoned her sword. Without a moment of hesitation, she plunged it through his heart. After a second, she removed it and walked away. She went to a small water source nearby and rinsed off the sword. And then she dismissed it. Look at you, little Miss Hero. Insa froze.

No one here will let him touch you." Insa Isn't it so good to be with me again? Not really. Insa opened a portal into the infirmary, but it closed before she could step through. Insa... before you go back lets us discuss a little bit. You got nothing holding you back from going home now. Just go. Do what you know how to do. Except I do got something holding me back. I just found new friends. And new people to protect. If I go back their lives may be in danger. So no. You're like a week to late for that idea. Insa opened the portal again and made it through this time. She made a beeline to Aventine. As she walked into the room she heard the last of Ash's last reassurances. Insa sat on the edge of the bed. "He will never hurt you again.
