Uriel's eyes flashed in excitement as Ona told him. [i]Elemental[/i]. Hunger shone in his eyes as he glanced in the jagged cliffside's direction as though a feast had just been laid before a starving man.

Elemental. Could he, perchance, study it enough to learn how to master these demons set to soon ravage his flesh and savage his soul?

He was left little time to ponder it, though, as Lucius came to his decision. Thankfully, to the hidden cliffside it was. In short order, they had begun their ascent up the exposed stone face.

It was slow and perilous work, to be certain-although apparently much less so for Uriel. Even armored, just his lack of exhaustion as compared to the others gave him a distinct advantage. Even so, they all made it up unnoticed, if only just.

The minutes later whereupon they stood, hidden atop within the edges of the edges of the Palais, curious wonder bubbled up within him. Lucius's childhood home certainly intrigued him... however, there was no time for idle curiosity. Ona was indeed right regarding their priority. However... that was somewhat amiss with Uriel's aim. He needed [i]privacy[/i], else he risked exposing his secret and them finding out presented grave danger, especially considering the circumstances. Lucius had already been betrayed just the night before; he was not inclined to rely on him taking Uriel at his word alone that he was not working for Conqvist if he discovered the bastard usurper's leash tethered to his spirit, nevermind the others. Thus, his course of action should be...

"... actually. Lucius, I can deal with the seeress-however, not with the guard putting blades at my back. This one here," he said with a wave to Ona, "can direct me to her and the magic near her. I can deal with it-and best for me to do so, with it being [i]elemental[/i]. Keep any guards from walking in on me and I will remove the threats."
