Even though the summit had only lasted the day, Galinheiros was remiss to be away from his daughters, mainly due to the massive distance, even though the time needed to actually traverse it was paltry. He had, of course, *Intended* To come to the summit, but as they were preparing to depart, news arrived of a large Fae Plane Portal manifesting near the palace. Galinheiros, not wanting to possibly endanger his daughters, sent them through and rushed off to subdue the volatile dimensional rift 

He'd come back to the palace a while before they had, but by the time he was finished with the Portal the summit was already too far along to attend, so he simply awaited their return. In truth, Galinheiros wasn't much a fan of political intricacies, and even with centuries of experience he still always put internal and even familia matters before foreign diplomacy. When his daughters returned, the massive doors to the ornate throne room swinging open, his face immediately lit up into a smile as he made his way towards them 

Before responding to what they had to say, however, he wrapped them both in a large (and rather tight) hug, bending down quite a bit, as he was over a foot taller than the both of them. Eventually, he released them with a chuckle, returning to his normal stature but keeping a hand clasped on both of their outermost shoulders, leaves and small flowers from his royal attire hanging down from his sleeves, hair the colour of vibrant gold hanging down across his chest, almost the exact same hue as the sister's own hair 

"Welcome back! It's a shame I couldn't come, but I am as proud as I could be of you two, going in my stead, and doing us all proud no doubt!"

He stepped back now to a more conversational distance, letting his hands go to his sides, still beaming with happiness and pride. Initially, he'd felt somewhat guilty landing them with such monumental responsibly, but paternal love overruled it, and now he was only proud of the good work he knew inherently that they had done. Besides, he knew what Thyseer would be expected to do, they all did. The home of the most esoteric and advanced magic in the realm, it was only natural they would investigate that element of the crisis 

"Interesting? Well now I'm even more intrigued, do go on!"

Despite having spent the last few hours battling with primal magic power from another dimension, the Eladrin King was surprisingly energetic - though he always was, rarely drowsy or groggy, often taking lengthy walks through the wilderness surrounding the castle in the early hours of the day, before his daughters had even woken up. He went so early half because things looked beautiful in the dawn light, and half because he didn't want to miss having breakfast with the two of them by going later

Her father's generally positive attitude, though normally refreshing, felt incredibly out of place in this instance. She minded herself that though the past few weeks and hours had brought revelations concerning the safety of the entire realm, he was not privy to as much information. This conversation was meant to correct that. Following her sister's statement, she jumped in to respond. It was better coming from her anyway. Though the role of heir was never her destiny, she felt as though the past many decades of her life had been spent in preparation for it. 

Trust was the principal issue at hand when it came to the information that would be disclosed during this meeting. Her conversation partners, while related and loved, each brought with them their own concerns. There was no doubt that the King of Thyseer was a good man. He ruled with a mind for peace and cohesion that one might consider admirable, if not naive. Though kind hearted, she believed her father to lack certain wisdom in international relations and diplomacy that, while unnecesary during times of peace, would be essential during a period of conflict. Thyseer had, for the most part, remained distant from the conflict on Alynthi's boarder while their mutual ally Findara provided aid. She did not fault her father for this choice. In fact, had he chosen otherwise this particular shortcoming might have been exposed sooner, creating less opportunity for compensation from other parties. 

Speaking of compensation, unfortunately his heir could not provide that. It was time that pushed them apart, she told herself, not her sister's new fascination with gods and wicked deeds. There was never any clear evidence of her sister's misdeeds, and unfortunately a "Bad feeling" Did not prove sufficient in convincing her father that action needed to be taken. The solution following the disaster at the festival and her dream that followed had seemed clear: travel to Alynthi and secure the alliance that Thyseer woul

D rely on before Delsandra had any chance of straining it. 

She loved them both, unconditionally. However, unlike in the case of her father, this love did not render her blind to their shortcomings and faults. It had always been her hope that they three might come together to foster unity within and outside of Thyseer proper. As time passed, however, with one set on internal peace and the other displaying a proclivity for chaos she became increasingly less sure.

There were her own faults to contend with as well. How could she justify her time spent focused on international politics while she remained unmarried, failing to assist in perhaps the only way that might be deemed appropriate. Thyseer was not weak by any means, however, a princess was born to do just that, forge and strengthen alliances. If she were to bring her concerns up in front of the King and Heir how would they be received? She knew that in the eyes of her father her academic and political accomplishments would always come second to her identity as his daughter. One might be hard pressed to find a more loving parent. With Delsandra... Well that wildcard remained unknown. 

"In short, it appears as though the visions witnessed on that evening may point towards some sort of great magical force that lies dormant. A research expedition had been planned to investigate potential leads. King Alyus even agreed to allow scholars passage within his kingdom to find this catalyst within the ice. While there is no guarantee that Gantrick is the ice being referenced it seemed plausible to all parties and perhaps the best lead so far. Findara has offered the assistance of the Order of the Mage Hands as well as the Blades of Findara where necessary. Tritheas will assist in the search in the seas nearby Gantrick. The Lazaroth Queen, Kisfire and Kara-Tur delegations all agreed to support the efforts as well, though with fewer details and some reluctance on the part of some." She paused, allowing a moment for the information to settle. 

"I would request to continue my work in Alynthi, father. I believe there is further work to be done in light of these plans and I have the capacity to be of most use assisting our allies in conducting research and preparing." She added the request quickly, speaking before her worries could prevent it. Her father might be hard pressed to allow her to leave again so quickly. Worse, he might speak a little too loosely of her goals in front o

F her elder sister. There was no avoiding the question, though. If he wished her to stay she would.

For the few fleeting moments her father embraced her and Irezora, Delsandra felt a wash of relief wave over her. Feeling as small as a toddler version of herself, memories of being held by he and her mother made a warmth grow in Del's heart and mind. The voices fled from her for a few seconds, and while the embrace was short, it felt like it had lasted minutes. Feeling the cold air breeze between herself and her father as he stepped away, that warmth gave way for the chill air once more. Offering a smile to the king as she had since she could remember, Delsandra looked to her sister to take the lead in the conversation.

While Delsandra was older, heir to the throne and generally had more experience with such matters, Irezora in the past few weeks had shone more growth than Del had ever seen. The princess was not jealous nor loathsome towards her sister for it. In fact, she felt pride that what was once a little girl was proving more and more she had become a woman, a true princess of Thyseer. The two siblings had grown apart in more recent decades, Delsandra having shown much more interest in her clerical studies than anything else. The two had clashing personalities as well, and while when they were young girls the two princesses were inseparable, today was much different.

Delsandra was entirely unaware that Irezora had suspicions about the heiress and her recent endeavors. Phoedite was not a quiet god after all, and he had chosen Del for a reason. Who was a simple mortal princess such as she to deny him? Nevertheless, the visions and nightmares that had plagued Delsandra's mind had rendered her somewhat useless in the current politics. Her mind was muddied, and before the day ended Delsandra was determined to clear it by speaking with Phoedite directly. Nevertheless, the princess turned to watch Irezora with a encouraging look on her face. Dancing her gaze between the king and her sister, Delsandra did her best to gauge their father's reaction to Zora's words.

The request did not come as a surprise. Irezora had made a friend in Princess Alora- something Delsandra had not even realized had happened until after the summit. There was a pang of jealousy, but it was quickly burned away by other thoughts in her mind. Researching and preparing was something Irezora did best, but Delsandra had different plans for herself. "We did not make any promises to aid, however we reassured the gathered parties that Thyseer likely would. After all, it is up to you how Thyseer assists if at all, father." Adding on to Delsandra's words, Irezora had said everything perfectly. Of course, a few minor details were left out such as Astalios's clear anger, the tensions between he and the Khisfiran prince- but that was something that could easily be missed and not brought up again.

The princess had her own ideas on how to contribute depending on the king's plans. He would no doubt involve Thyseer in the search given the knowledge the eladrin had on strange magics was unmatched, save only for the Order. Even still, if this catalyst was magical in nature, it would be Thyseer and the Order to figure it out.
