This is New (Bloodline)

[Allison Kazim]

No sooner had she come to Cabal then she'd returned home to defend it. Coming back a second time was awkward in its own right. Though they'd won, she'd known some of those they had lost personally. Or as personal as she could get, anyway. Alison's gaze stared at the book before her without seeing it, a pen flicking between her fingers as her mind drifted from her studies.

It made her wonder what would happen when she dealt with similar things with Cabal. She wanted to make a name for herself here, to see what would happen when she had a different set of rules to play by beyond, though the ones from home were not forgotten either. Out here things were crude, to put it bluntly. It made her nose wrinkle, but it was also refreshing.

Closing her book for now, the redhead and looked out the window. Perhaps time on the training field would be where her time was better spent for now. She'd need to get used to the flow of battle with her spells, and even if her practice wasn't a group fight, she get get familiar with the routine.

[Leon]

Alison would note someone. A male was outside looking around, staring awkwardly at people as they walked by. This man was different however from others. This man had six folded wings at his back and a halo hovering over his head. He was obviously not from around here that was for sure.

[Allison Kazim]

That was new. Ali blinked, unable to recall seeing anyone whose mana transformed them in such a way, and it clearly wasn't a costume. Whoever it was looked as out of place as they probably felt. There was also the fact she had seen several pairs of wings and a halo. No extra arms, no horns or a tail. He looked like something out of old myths. For a moment, all she could do was stare. Then, setting the book aside, she made her way outside, intending to see what was going on.


"Good afternoon, Mr...?"

[Leon]

The man would see her and bow as she approached.

"I am the Arch Angel Michael. I have been searching for you. I can sense in you some of myself..."

He paused.

"Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. I wish to know your name."

[Allison Kazim]

Looking for her? Ali's brows rose as the archangel introduced himself and bowed, talking about seeing things that should probably have worried her. Out of habit, she returned the bow with a small one of her own. Thatkind of rank wasn't taken lightly, that was for sure.

"My name is Allison," she said as she straightned. "Allison Kazim."

[Leon]

"Allison. Pleasure."

He'd say with a smile.

"Recently, I felt a power like my own pop up in this area. Discovering a large battle had taken place, I assumed someone from this area had this power. And I see it, I sense it being so close to you. We must be related somehow, some ancestor of yours."

[Allison Kazim]

"The pleasure's mine." She was related to an angel.

...She was related to an angel? Allison did her best not to stare, clearing her throat as she looked away for a moment.

"I see." It wasn't impossible, though it felt highly unlikely. Then again, she didn't feel he was lying to her, either. "There have been a few battles of late, it's true. However, I cannot provide any names of any ancestors, if that's what you were hoping to confirm." Her shoulders straightened slightly with the admission. She wasn't sure what he wanted, other than to meet her.

[Leon]

"It matters not, I can confirm our relation. Well, have you discovered your power?"

[Allison Kazim]

At least that was one of them, though she had the burning desire to ask who that someone was. As to his question, she paused for a moment. He surely didn't mean her mana, the abilities she used as much as anyone back home did breathing.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I haven't." She shook her head.

[Leon]

"I see... We shall remedy that, come with me."

Michael would hold his hand out.

[Allison Kazim]

"Very well." This was getting more and more interesting. Allison took Michael's hand.

[Leon]

Michaels wings would wrap them extending and spreading until only some beams of light shown through. Pulling the wings back to reveal they were not on Cabal territory anymore. They were in a deserted city covered in over growth and dirt, rust.

"Here. This will work best for the training. Welcome to Jerusalem."

[Allison Kazim]

Ali was still struggling with the fact that an archangel was telling her he was related to her and meant it when his wings wrapped around them, blocking her from sight and the world from her own vision. It didn't seem real, no more than the fact they were apparently far from home. Far, far from the floating island and ocean she had known all her life. This place was devoid of people, noting but the remains and the wild earth taking back what mankind had built over.

"This is Jerusalem?" She blinked looking around, then focused on Michael again.

"What training?"

[Leon]

"Yes we are very far from the place you know, but this holy Land should help focus your power."

Michael would reach up and grab his halo holding onto it he would show it off.

"This. This Halo is the power. It's different sometimes, but it all gets the same general result."

He would then hand the Halo to Allison.

[Allison Kazim]

Was he reading her thoughts, or was that just very specific wording when she was already a bit on edge? Allison cocked a brow at the archangel, blinking as he held out his halo. He really did believe she was of his blood, then. Nothing she knew of in any text or story talked about an angel just handing it over, even if this wasn't a light subject.

"The Halo is?" Despite her caution, she reached out to take it from him. "So I'm really a descendant of an archangel?"
