Micah Evantis Micah had been more then a little glad when what Slasher had done to him was finally undone. The whole thing was still a blur, but he could piece together more or less what had happened, and his ordeal had set him firmly in the stance that they needed to find a way to ensure that nothing like Slasher could ever threaten anyone again. Though he was still against wiping them out, as that was no real solution. With Satara going to Ignis to take over as ruler, Micah had volunteered to go along and protect her. There were enough people in Aliquam that could handle that sort of thing, they didn't really need his help there. But there was much he would be able to help with in Ignis. He had taken over duties as head of the knights and royal guard, not without some complaints, but he soon proved he was the best person for the job. Now though the issue of the demons of dreams was being brought up, and the nobles were coming together in one place, and Micah needed to be there as part of his job, and because he wanted to push for a solution to the demons. He looked up at Satara when she asked how they were doing and smiled a little. "I'd say they should make these things bigger, but I don't really think they could practically make them big enough for my liking. Still, not being one of the guards out there is letting me relax a little." He wasn't claustrophobic really, he just much preferred open spaces where he could stretch his wings, but it didn't make any sense for him to ride on top of the carriage, or even on a horse like he would rather do, when he should be where he could protect these two.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara tried to hold back a laugh at Micah's comment about making the carriage bigger, knowing the vehicle was too small for the half angel man. She would have rather flown there herself, but being the queen of Ignus, she knew she was supposed to take the carriage when going most places, at least when they concerned royal matters. She looked out the window a moment, just watching the scenery pass by outside, not much to keep her attention. She knew they still had a ways to go before they got to Tellus, so she would have to figure out a way to amuse herself. She looked over to the other two and saw Vera was asleep, causing a light smile to cross the older woman's face. Poor girl probably tired herself out in training or the trip was long for her. She pulled a blanket out from under the seat and covered the sleeping woman. " Well, it seems Vera is out for awhile, so you can sleep too, if you want. Maybe it will help you not feel so restricted in here. And I did tell you that you could ride outside, you were the one that insisted you be in here with us,"she reminded. She had told him he should ride on the top, but she knew he felt he could protect them better in here. Well, she supposed she couldn't argue that fact, though she still felt capable of protecting herself.

Micah Evantis Micah glanced over at Vera and nodded a little. "I suppose doing that might help it couldn't hurt anyways. You might as well try too." He pointed out, leaning back in the seat a little and closing his eyes. He wasn't really expecting to sleep much at all, but he actually dozed off fairly quickly. Probably from the stress of organizing the trip to Tellus, or at least the security of it. Unfortunately for Micah, he had overlooked, or not known about, one problem. He was particularly vulnerable to mind magic, and by extension, possession by the demons of dreams. Micah's angelic nature did protect him some, but a persistent demon, with help from others, still easily forced its way into his mind and took over while he was unconscious. Micah was a prime target because of his access to the queen of Ignis. He opened his eyes after almost an hour of sleep and looked over at Satara sitting next to him, sighing a little. "I guess that's not going to work all that well. Not that I mind being in your company." The demon said though him with a slight grin, laying Micah's hand on her leg.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara stayed awake long enough to make sure Micah at least tried to rest she knew the other could use it. When his eyes closed, she gave it a moment or two longer, before shutting her eyes. It took her awhile to start to fall asleep, but she was almost there, when she felt a hand on her leg. She nearly jumped out of her skin and her eyes shot open, hearing what sounded like Micah's voice. She looked hard at the man, what in the world did he think he was doing? Then she thought about it some more, this was very unusual for Micah, he would never do something like this. Yes, she had suspected he might have a crush on her, but he would never be so forward like this. She touched his mind and it felt..different to her. " I don't know who you are, but I know you are not my friend. I suggest you get out of him, before I make you do so. And get his hand off my leg, I do not appreciate being hit on,"she growled. She went to grab one of the knives from her boots, so that she could get her point across. She didn't want to hurt Micah, but she didn't like to be manhandled like some piece of meat. The men of the Rebellion had been bad enough.

Micah Evantis Micah frowned a little, looking hurt. The demon wasn't terribly surprised that she was being suspicious. Not that she could really prove anything, from Micah's memories it knew that people didn't inspect his mind often. "Tara, please. Its just some harmless flirting. You're as tired as I am, and wound up over the meeting. Relax a little, we're going to be in this stupid carriage for quite a while." He said, attempting to brush off her concern. There were too many people here who could help her if she figured out what had happened now. He carefully put his hand on her wrist, slowly pushing the knife away. "Please Tara, I'm your friend, you've always been able to trust me." He told her reassuringly. Micah had spent the past several years doing his best to get to know Satara and be her friend.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara gave the other another suspicious look, trying to think of what to say to the other now. Micah had never been one to flirt, but maybe he was feeling more comfortable around her. That and she had been busy lately, maybe she didn't know him as well as she thought she did. And he was right, she was tired from having to run the kingdom and she was stressed about this meeting. Maybe she was wrong with her senses, it hadn't been the first time. She let out a sigh, before giving him a little nod, allowing her knife to go back into her boot. She guessed she could relax, it wasn't like he was hurting her or anything. If this was a demon, he would have tried to hurt her by now, right? " Yes, you are my friend and I have always trusted you, Micah. Maybe I have just gotten paranoid with all that has happened to my family. I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings, I am just..not used to it. I hope you can forgive me, I am under a lot of stress right now,"she admitted.

Micah Evantis Micah smiled and put an arm over her shoulders, hugging her lightly. "Well, I'm not exactly real good at this. Some line the other knights give me about all work and no play." He said, laughing a little and leaving his arm over her shoulders. The demon was willing to work on this slow, at least to a point. They had to be able to influence her before the meeting, people would notice if her opinions changed part way though it. "We haven't had much time to just hang out with all of our duties. I would kind of like to change that, none of the knights are as good of company as you are." He said, smiling at her a little more. Now he just had to take things slow until he could really get her alone.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara let him hug her, to be honest, it did feel a little nice. She nodded her head to him, he was probably as rusty as he was with this kind of thing. She had spent so long in Sammy's mind, then training to keep herself from being a victim again, then being queen, she had kind of forgotten what fun was herself. She laid her head on his shoulder, he was being really sweet to her, making her feel even worse about suspecting something. With his words about her company, she blushed lightly at that. " Ummm, thank you, Micah. I guess it would be nice to just relax for a little bit, before I have to worry about anything. Thank for being so understanding about me being stressed. It certainly is not easy being a queen. Though I do wonder, why me? Why not someone closer to your own age?"she asked.

Micah Evantis Micah nodded as she spoke, tilting his head a little, not understanding what she meant when she asked why her. The demon had to stop and look at why Micah was interested in her, though it was rather predictable. "A few reasons. I trust you and you were nice to me, even when I still thought you were actually a demon, and wasn't exactly nice myself. And...well, your family lives a long time. And I'm likely to live a long time. That makes you 'safe' I guess, since I don't really have to worry about living a couple times longer then you." He said, turning a little red and shrugging, looking away from her. As much as the demon just wanted to push he had to keep acting like Micah would for a time yet. He couldn't risk alerting anyone who had fought Slasher mentally, because they would be sure to recognize him for what he was if they looked close enough.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara thought about what he said for a moment, nodding her head softly in agreement. She had tried to be nice to him, even when she knew mot wanted nothing to do with her at first. She had looked like a demon and she was sure many were afraid of her or angry at her for what some of the demons had been doing. And she couldn't disagree with the fact her family lived longer than a lot of people because they had a demon ancestor somewhere in their lineage. If Micah went for someone his own age, chances were that he would still look a lot younger than her. She actually looked more his age than what it appeared to be as well. " Yes, you have some very good points, Micah. I guess it jut surprises me, considering for a long time, I was just stuck in my sister's mind. I haven't really had time for romance or anything,"she admitted. She had to admit he was kind of cute when he blushed like that.

Micah Evantis "Understandable. I was so focused on doing my 'duty' for such a long time I never really considered it myself. Not as bad as your problem, obviously, but I can relate." The demon said for Micah. It was doing a good job of pulling up what Micah would say in such a situation, much to the real Micah's annoyance and frustration. Now that she was more relaxed, the demon had Micah's body scoot closer to her a little and start caressing her shoulder lightly. Vera was still asleep, there wasn't that distraction, which would force the demon to back off, because Micah would never do such things where someone could see.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara nodded her head, she knew Micah had a lot to do, she wasn't the only one kept really busy. She figured that he felt he needed to protect them, considering what happened to the previous royals of Ignus. He had always seemed like someone who was very serious about his work. She had never really gotten to see him relax, maybe because he felt he couldn't usually do so. She felt him pull her a little closer and rub her shoulder. She wasn't used to a guy doing this, she figured most were too scared to try to do anything. Maybe a part of her craved this, so didn't stop it. She knew Micah wouldn't do this in front of others, but Vera was asleep, so no one would see him letting his guard down. " You have been so very busy, I don't think you have given yourself a chance to really rest. I kind of feel sorry for you, you are always doing so much to protect me. I really wish you could have more time to just relax,"she replied. Maybe that's why she had thought something was wrong with him, cause she wasn't used to him relaxing at all.

Micah Evantis The demon inside of Micah grinned to itself. Micah had long had a crush on Satara, and he was finally getting what he wanted, but the half-angel was horrified by how it was happening. He may never have actually tried to make a move because he did take his duty as her protector seriously, and she needed to be able to think of him as a soldier when the time came. Outwardly Micah smiled and nodded. "You've gone though as much and more then your sister, at first I just wanted to make up for being so hostile to you. Later...well, I guess it became more." He said blushing slightly and leaning his head down to rest against her's a little, his other hand moving to rest on her knee.

Satara Lunaris- Ignus Queen
Satara had been through a lot, but she was so used to trying to stay strong, for everyone else. She wasn't used to having someone else look out for her like this, maybe that is why she was letting her guard down, instead of listening to the small voice in her head. Having someone want her, it made her feel good and his hand on her knee was not bad. Maybe being in cramped quarters like this was making things come out that wouldn't have before. " Well, I would be lying if I said it didn't feel nice to have someone like me. As you know most either fear me or don't really know who I am. It may have started simple, but I suppose things change after awhile,"she admitted. She closed her eyes and finally fell asleep. Not aware of the danger, her tiredness hd finally caught up to her.

Micah Evantis Micah smiled and leaned his head against the top of hers again, humming as she fell asleep, his smile changing to an unpleasant grin as she finally fell asleep. This would work quite nicely, a little magic to keep her asleep, a little to make her seem sick, and he could get her straight to her room and lock it up. When they arrived at the castle of Tellus, that was exactly what he did. Some magic to make her seem very warm, and some more to make her seem pale, and he could get past the knights with no problem. "Alright, queen Satara isn't feeling very good, I'm going to take her up to her room to get some rest. Please tell the queen that I'll let her know when Satara is feeling better." He told the knights that greeted them, before picking her up with care and rushing up to her room. Micah knew every in and out of it, so the demon knew exactly how to keep everyone out. He placed her on the bed, then locked all the doors and windows, before returning to sit beside Satara and stroke her forehead and cheek.
