A soft humming could be he heard vibrating throughout the cold, stone bedchamber. Numerous maids rushing back and forth, each one seeming to be in a hurry to get their tasks completed. The line of scurrying maids led to the source of humming, a young woman with shimmering gold hair and striking crimson eyes, though they remained closed at this present moment. Numerous maids were attending to her right now, combing and brushing her golden locks as another group seemed to be helping her into a beautifully handcrafted [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/15/15/41/1515413d430b40b87b216f94fc837d3e.jpg]gown[/url], the light shimmering off of the flowing blue fabric to create a dazzling effect. Not that the young lady needed the effect to turn a few heads, by human standards she was already an outstanding beauty that could steal the hearts of men at first glance. However, her 'Father', a Supreme Being beyond human comprehension had would be coming today and she wanted to make herself as presentable as possible. Well, she had only heard her Father was coming. The majority of the Supreme Ones were coming after all so she reasoned he would too.


As made obvious by the soft hum she made, she seemed to be in a good mood. Who wouldn't? She hadn't seen much of her Father around these past few months, though it had felt more like years to her. An eternity even. Ah, how good it would be to see his face once more. To merely bask in his presence would be enough for the girl. As the maids put the finishing touches on her outfit, her eyes open so as to let her dark hues sneak a glance at the large mirror a group of maids held in front of her. Analysing the reflection she saw, wondering if the gown was perhaps just a little over the top? She doubted she could steal any of the limelight from her Father, but it wouldn't do to give the impression she might be trying to do just that.
[color=9e0039]"You, fetch me my coat."[/color] With a snap of her fingers, she pointed towards a maid without sparing even a moment to glance as she gave her order. [color=9e0039]"And make it quick. My Father shouldn't be too far off and I wish to be ready for his arrival."[/color] As the maid scurried away, they took a few steps back and bowed their heads respectfully towards the blonde.


While she admired herself in the mirror, twirling around to have a view of the entire dress, she heard Baron's voice penetrate her mind. Gah, such an annoying pest. What could he possibly want now, moments before her Father's arrival? She supposed she would at least listen to whatever he had to say. As much as she hated to admit it, but to her, he was higher ranking seeing as he made by the Guild Master. The 'most powerful' of all Supreme Beings. That much at least deserved some respect from the prideful girl anyway.
Oh? This message was...disturbing, to say the least. She dwelled on what her fellow NPC had just stated, stroking her chin thoughtfully as she became immersed in her thoughts. If he was relaying a command from the guild master, that was one thing. But instead, he was sending out a message from Volaris? She wasn't going to lie, the Specter gave her the creeps. Not that she would admit it.


"Lady Elizabeth, all the preparations are complete." The maid she had sent to get her coat had come back and her voice snapped Elizabeth back to reality, a dark silk coat in her outstretched hands.
[color=9e0039]"...I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel all plans I had. I'm sure when my Father arrives he'll understand. All of you are dismissed, and tell all the guards to be on high alert."[/color] With heavy reluctance she spoke. She doubted Baron would be summoning all the guardians for no reason at all, let alone telling them to seal off the Cathedral. Something was off, though Elizabeth couldn't quite put her finger on it.

[color=9e0b0f]"...It has already been done My Lady."[/color] As the maids filed out to comply with her commands, she was semi-startled by the sudden appearance of a demonic woman with half-black, half-white hair. Though it lasted only a moment, shaking her head and looking down towards the knelt down form of her guardian.

[color=9e0039]"I should've expected no less Megu. So you have the entire forest on alert I assume then?"[/color] Just the assured nod she was given in response was enough to settle some of the nerves the young woman was feeling. This was the first time such an incident had occurred during her time as Guardian, so it was reassuring to have the level-headed Megu having already deal with the majority of what needed to be done.
[color=9e0b0f]"I've increased the number of monsters and patrols as per protocol, I have also begun arming the maids and increasing the defences in general on the floor. I presume it should be enough as a measure for now, as we have very little information as to what exactly seems to be the problem Lady Elizabeth."[/color] Excellent, that saved Elizabeth time having to do it herself. As stated, she enjoyed having such a reliable guardian at her disposal. Her Father was truly kind to have blessed her with Megu's presence.
[color=9e0039]"Excellent work as always Megu. I trust you have set up the chains of command?"[/color] Another nod [color=9e0039]Excellent. Then nothing is stopping us from joining the others. Teleportation."[/color] With a soft smile, she placed a hand on Megu's shoulder before the duo vanished from sight.

The next moment, they had reappeared just outside the Chamber's doorway. Megu was composed and ready to enter, however, Elizabeth took just a brief moment to take a deep breath and straighten out some loose hairs. Before then taking yet another deep breath. She needed to be composed and elegant here, so as to not tarnish her Father's name.
with Megu a step behind, the blonde took long strides inside. Her blue gown flowing behind her like a waterfall, looking quite out of place by how overdressed she seemed to be.
[color=9e0039]"This had better be important Master Volaris, I was meant to be meeting up with my Father any moment now and I wouldn't want to keep him waiting."[/color] Despite her rather dismissive words aimed at the Supreme Being, her tone was respectful and calm. Speaking more like a mother speaking with a principal, patient and respectful but still annoyed with her children after they had gotten in trouble at school.
Megu wordlessly stopped a few steps behind the Crimson Eyed Mage, bowing respectfully towards each respective fellow Guardian and Volaris.
[color=9e0b0f]"What my Lady means to say is that I'm sure we are all quite busy and would like to know the circumstances behind our sudden summon Lord Volaris. I too am curious as to what is so important to summon us all here...is everything all right?"[/color] Frowning as she spoke, her concern was obvious. Why was just Volaris here, and not say Stauffenberg, the guild master? Something was definitely off.
