Prologue - Xerinia Sol [Heaven's Descent into Darkness]

[Preus Kai]

22 Descending Fire, Yu-Shan


At the request of her Sifu, Xerinia Sol has arrived at the Cerulean Lute of Harmony, it's towering blue jade construction a breathtakingly beautiful sight to behold among a city of celestial wonder. The sounds of revelry and merry-making can be heard long before Xerinia Sol enters the Division building, a stream of euphoric gods entering and exiting at their own ecstatic whims. The smell of divine incense and liquor wafts through the air as Xerinia Sol is welcomed into the Cerulean Lute by gods of pleasure and happiness that tend to all who enter the Division of Serenity's administration building.


"Erynia Sura is waiting for you in the Hall of Hedonism, 8th floor," one of the functionaries explained to her, it's sweet breath misting her with a divine perfume. "Peace be with you, Xerinia Sol."

 

[Myllinnia]

Xerinia Sol, a young woman in her early twenties enters the Cerulean Lute of Harmony as her Sifu had wanted. Standing at the doors for a bit, the shapely, daring woman, in her rather risque outfit, that showed off more skin than perhaps necessary, while the lower indigo almost purple skirt-like part looks like its easily able to fall off her slender waist. She adjusts the white gloves on her hands and tosses back her light red almost pink hair and bounds into the building where she is immediately assaulted by the scents and smells, her small light shoes softly are drowned out from the noises of the Lute.


Xerinia Sol bows to the functionary with a smile as she is greeted, "Peace and Serenity to you too!" With that she throws back her light red almost pink hair and bounds, bouncing all the way to the 8th floor. Unfortunately the young sidereal found herself a little winded as she reached the last few steps. Erynia Sura will most likely chastise me in not being more 'physically' active, she thinks to herself with a smile. Hall of Hedonism, she keeps that in mind as she hunts it down. She wanders to the doors and knocks quickly with a slight unbidden giggle. Perhaps she'll be getting some fun for the week. Its been a quiet one after all. Oiled bodies, perfumes, and lots of laughing and drinking. Nothing at all exciting. "Hello, its I, Xerinia."

 

[Preus Kai]

Reaching the Hall of Hedonism on the 8th floor and opening the large blue and white jade double doors adorned with silken ribbons hung above the archway, Xerinia Sol finds herself amid an exotic flop house filled with intoxicated gods laying about on cushions of orichalcum and velvet with naked heavenly bodies swarming them and clouds of narcotic smoke hanging lazily in the air. Orgiastic sounds filled the sprawling atrium of the Hall of Hedonism, drowning out Xerinia's introduction. A comely aqualine female figure emerged from the waters of the flowing fountain that was the centerpiece of the atrium, enticing Xerinia Sol to join in pleasures the of "Heaven's whorehouse".


(Roll Temperance, please)

 

[Myllinnia]

Xerinia Sol sends a friendly smile all around unphased by this place. After all she came from a smaller one and ended up in a bigger one. As long as everyone was happy she supposed.

[Preus Kai]

Ignoring the carnal pleasures that surrounded her, Xerinia Sol spotted Erynia Sura gyrating atop a mountain of satin pillows, her bare figure oiled and glistening in the candlelight of her private pagoda. The gods she was entertaining wore resplendent robes of office and they each took turns tossing a coin of ambrosia on the marble and blue jade tile floor of the pagoda. She notices Xerinia Sol across the atrium, and she adds a "come hither" hand-motion to her sensual dance.

 

[Myllinnia]

Swallowing hard she approaches her eyes darting about, "Sifu?" It took just some effort to not just stand there and watch herself. Shaking her head slightly she shoves those thoughts away. Dangerous sometimes to wander into the Cerulean Lute of Harmony, sometimes. Xerinia Sol stops before the dancing beautiful woman and licks her lips while at the same time not attempting to cause the surrounding gods of pleasure from... well not having any. "I, I have come as requested."

 

[Preus Kai]

Erynia Sura makes the Lesser Sign of Mercury while she continues to entertain the assembled gods and takes Xerinia by the hand to join her in the exotic dance. Embracing her student for a brief moment, she whispers into Xerinia Sol's ear, "Decieve them with our art as I speak with you on urgent matters."


Both women could only be described as poetry in motion, their dance weaving a spell of lust and passion upon the high-ranking bureaucrats meant to befuddle their senses.

[Myllinnia]

Xerinia Sol nods a slight smile crossing her lips as she joins her Sifu in the dance. Xerinia Sol danced with her, closeness and orbit, concepts lost in the dance as she did. But she patiently waited for the words that would be said, letting the dance alone to fill the moments between.
