[01 | Sanctuary{holo} | Arrival] Loss begets pain
Take my hand.
Despite all she had been through, something in those words broke through the mental cage the witch had Azkadellia trapped with. All that she had witnessed second hand and through a fog and yet now she could see something more. More importantly, she could feel more. The sensation of emotion flood through her and for a moment the annuals seemed to have melted into nothing. Suddenly it was Azkadellia herself standing there in the light, the emerald ablaze about her neck and Ambrose's brilliant device twisted and on the verge of bringing darkness forever to the O.Z. Grown and hated by so many and yet the young girl that had lost herself to the witch's power that fateful day in the woods.
Reaching out, she could feel the witch fighting her, the rage buffeting her like a wild storm, tossing her about even as hands that were her own and yet unknown to her brushed against DG's. Clasping tight, holding onto that lifeline as she felt it. That sudden snap as the witch lost her hold, driven out by their magic joined. Stumbling from the dais, staring into DG's so pale eyes and then there was another wrenching, the world shifting as if the entirety of the Outer Zone was turned on its head. Then blackness.
Azkadellia came to in a small room that looked nothing like any place she knew in the Tower. Metal above, everything so different from her chambers, from that balcony where she stood during the eclipse, the darkness bathing over her
as the witch changed her world. Now her world had changed again.
"Don't let go!"
The words came from her lips before she could stop herself, scrambling to her feet. Heavy boots thudded on the floor as she looked around, gilded bodice gleaming as she turned quickly, looking for answers, looking for an exit, looking for one thing.
"Deeg?! Where are you?" Voice rising as she checked the walls, seeking a door though she found nothing but a table with a small device. The screen lit up, a small dot on a map blinking at her. Hand trembling, Azkadellia snatched it from the table, spinning on heel as the door slid open behind her.
"Hello?" She paused, peering at the door before taking a quick step toward it. Another careful step, eyes narrowing slightly. "Is anyone out there," she called, ignoring the tablet in her hands though viewing screens of a magical nature weren't entirely new to her. "Deeg? Anyone? Can you hear me?"
Another step toward the door, fingers clutching the tablet. Her lower lip quivered as she stepped out of the room and hurried along the hall, whispering under her breath.
"I swear, I didn't let go."
((ooc: For those that did the arrival on the voice test, feel free to handwave to outside the building, ie DG obvs.))

Blinking back tears, she stared at the the screen, trying to smile. "I am. DG and I... we're family," she said softly, unaware how much any might know about her and what they might think. "Thank you for that though. I admit I was afraid I lost her for good."
no subject
Yeah, Maddy knows that one pretty well.
"Has anyone given you the general welcome to Taxon speech yet?"
no subject
"I won't stop you from offering whatever advice you might have though."
no subject
Madelyne smiles faintly, trying to cheer up the other woman as best she can from a distance.
no subject
"I suppose it is a matter of adjusting and accepting, right?"
no subject
Madelyne is likely talking a bit more about herself than she is about the other woman but, well, it works, doesn't it?

It wasn't exactly the most proper answer, or even a helpful one, but at first Azkadellia had no idea what else to say.
"I'm sorry you've had to face that here. All of this must be hard enough without adding that to it."

"The pleasure is mine, Madelyne. Azkadellia is a mouthful, I know. I do apologize for that."
no subject
Madelyne smiles faintly, tilting her head to the side, "I wish you luck in your ability to find friendship with your sister. that sort of relationship is challenging even in the best of circumstances."
no subject
She nodded. "DG and I were best of friends before we were separated. I do hope we can find that again."
no subject
There is something familiar there. She doesn't remember much about her time as the Goblyn Queen but what she does remember, there is really a sense of having been trapped inside of herself.
"Good luck. She seems a good person, alien meddling aside."
no subject
"Thank you for that. DG is... She's wonderful and I'm glad to see so many here think so highly of her."

She pushes hair behind her ear, "If you need something, let me know."

It was the one thing she had to offer, even if she was still nervous about using it.
