The First Lotus doesn't answer right away.  Instead she stands back, surveys her healing work. Once satisfied, she takes a seat on a bubble of light crossing her legs. I'm sure it's unintentional but she paints quite the provocative picture. I shift my stance, aiming for regality.

She seems to be weighing something as she stares at Zaak. Assessing him? I see the calculation passing quickly in her eyes but I'm not sure I completely understand all it holds. "How are you here? Why aren't you dead?" Her voice flows like a waterfall but has the strength of a typhoon. So different from my mother’s soft harmonic cadence.

Aside from that, I see the point she's making. Though I believe I detected a tease in her tone,  or was it a taunt? I can't completely tell as her subtlety isn't as familiar to me. Her voice fills the silence that follows, "We're wasting valuable time when we should be acting. Wouldn't you agree...Zaakielo?" She says his name softly like a kiss but there's a hardness in her eyes that belies her tone. She'll be difficult to read. 

I open a portal and start turning the clock dials. If I'm to rule, I'll need a scepter which means... 
I turn to Zaak. " We'll return to the Oasis shortly but first, I need my weapon. So, where did Omega hide the box? "

Well that was quick. I believe it's time we're on our way.  I head outside and straight for the Elder. Without hesitation,  I gently embrace him.  " Thank you for your hospitality. My friends and I are going to do what we can to make life easier on you all. " I snap my fingers sending waking energy to the group. As I'm on my way back to them I pause outside the entrance to the hut.  An idea forms.

I'd like to know this Shadow, I'd like to know all the rulers honestly. Perhaps they can be reasoned with? Perhaps not. Either way I believe it's worth a shot. I hold out my arm and within seconds a dove with cloud- white feathers alights on my arm. I blow gently on the bird and its feathers change to inky black. I whistle to it, asking a favor. It's more than happy to oblige. The dove takes a scroll from me in its beak and elegantly flutters off.  The message is for Shadow. We'll see about him soon enough. 

I walk back into the hut humming. " Alright dears rise and shine not a moment to waste. I believe we all agreed upon seeking out the rebellion?"

Found is more accurate. I can feel them now far to the Northwest. With that in mind I focus on our group, reaching farther out to include Oshite and Osore as well. I place us directly in the middle of the Rebellion encampment. They don't notice us, yet. I put up a light shield just in case they're startled enough to attack. Finally, I clear my throat loudly.

" Hello."

All heads in the immediate vicinity swivel in my direction.

I give a small wave," Would one of you be a dear and kindly fetch Karnariel for me? We'd very much like to speak with him."
