Down in the forest, there is a tree.
What's left of one, anyway.
The Nemeton calls another supernatural creature to its town.
The blood that drips onto it forms a circle.
"Is it actually magic? I thought these Dread Doctors had synthesized the blood somehow. I don't suppose they kept good notes..."
"We don't have a good way to get the blood back to our Earth. No one in the daeva worlds can die."
"Summoners don't usually offer to let them socialize the way angels and fairies do."
"Alright. I suppose the next step is to use our magic to get to your Earth."
"It isn't, yet. I'm optimistic, now that I know what I know about your summoning. If the Nemeton is actively engaging with the world, and with a hellhound in town, we have more leverage."
"I'm an angel." He flutters his wings demonstratively. "I change things into other things."
"It's harder for me to demonstrate than Ellie; I need some raw material to work with."
