"Raezenoth mentioned the same thing - it's part of why I want to bring her back. And I have done it before. I need a flat place that's not too windy to work, your leave to kill two medium-sized birds that I can call to hand myself if necessary, and - your assurance that no one will be offended if I call deities foreign to the world."

"Do not invoke other gods in my domain. There are few flat places to work, here, anyway - the space you have come through should do fine. If you invoke deities in a place where no god holds claim, no one will be offended - the space between Raezenoth and I is one such place. You have my leave for all else."

"So I turn around and go - how far, please?"

"You will know my domain ends by the terrain," informs Perinixu.

"I will inform you," whispers the vial of sand.
Permalink
"Okay. Thank you."

Isabella turns around.

The terrain slowly changes from hills to grassland, and then the vial of essence of Raezenoth says, "You are outside of Perinixu's domain. You may do it in mine, if you would like assurance that no one will disturb you. I will not be offended by invoking other gods."

"Then I will. Why would Perinixu not like it, or don't you know?"

Permalink

"It is something of an insult to invoke other gods on another one's holy ground. But I do not mind. You are resurrecting my acolyte."

Permalink
"Okay."

When directed, Isabella lands, makes sure she has enough space, and starts drawing out the ash diagram.

Raezenoth arrives a few minutes later, and sits. He doesn't address either Isabella or Adarin, but he does watch the proceedings silently.

Adarin, meanwhile - is supportive husband who isn't actually very useful in this instance. He will watch and maybe hand Isabella things if she needs him to.

She has the procedure down pretty well. She tends to put in an hour at resurrection offices in the early mornings before Adarin is up on days when her various enterprises aren't causing her phone to ring itself into a frenzy.

Ash ash ash.

Herb herb herb.

Bird, bird, she secures them both.

Pose.

"I call all my goddesses now -"

"What."

Adarin waves. For lack of the language itself ("What" was not enough to catch it) he will just wave and smile.

Permalink

"Welcome back," says Raezenoth in completely understandable to everyone god-voice. "You have been resurrected."

Permalink


"Hi, Rae." Aya looks at her hands. "And who are these people and how did this happen?"
Permalink
That is enough of the language.

"I'm Isabella and this is my husband Adarin and we are from another world and I did it with my world's magic."
Permalink

"We got here through my magic. We are very magical," says Adarin, brightly.

Permalink

"She sounds like you," says Rae. "Not just in - voice but in the meaning behind the words. I mistook her for you, until I saw her."

Permalink

"What does that mean?"

Permalink

"I wouldn't have known either, but sometimes across worlds there are several of the same person, and I've already met another one of me. She looks like me, but I suspected you might be one too even though you don't look the same. The name's a hint. The other one is named Iobel."

Permalink

"And by 'the same person' you mean...?"

Permalink

"Same basic personality, eerie parallel details, different life circumstances. Me and Iobel - both clumsy-till-she-fixed-it notebook-using magic users with similarly-named parents and the same face. If I write down the three questions will you know what I mean and be able to tell me what they are without looking at the paper?"

"Let's find out."
