Skye noted what she did to the wall, then finally pulled back, regaining his bearings as he mentally reinstated himself in his own body then moved to head back outside of the castle walls.

Septima glances around to make sure she had a safe way out. She took quick but confident strides back towards the chamber. She walked into the room and noticed she was covered in dirt.
Arthur watched as she came back in, somehow sitting on the cieling. "Hullo"
group
Septima’s gaze wandered up. She was somehow not surprised anymore.
“Didn’t go as planned, but it worked,” she said.
Arthur nodded, "And you've gotten used to my unusual tendencies."
group
"Yes, it would seem so," Septima replied, "It's quite fun, actually. Seeing all the stuff you can do."
Arthur tilted his head, "Would you mind elaborating on that?" he asked curiously.
group
"Well, you're kind of sticking on the ceiling right now. I know plenty of people with magic, and none of them can do stuff like that. I've been fairly confined to my village and surrounding areas all my life. I've been exposed to a lot more since meeting you and your family," she explained, "It's amazing."
"It's actually gravity manipulation." he said, "And if you wanted I could tell you more about other elements if you wanted.."
group
"Sure. Most of my friends are more simple elemental types, like fire, earth, water air, light, shadows, and the like. I know some things here and there about other powers, but it's different entirely to see them," Septima said.
"I've got a brother who's a shadow element, my brother has a friend who's a spirit element, uhm, Alex and I are Hramony and Chaos elements, and Skye is a Star element," he shrugged, "I've seen almost every kind."
group
"Is your brother- the one who's a shadow element- is he anything like Aurelius in his powers?" she asked, "Just curious. I know no two are completely alike, but of course, I still wonder."
"Depends on what you mean," said Arthur, "Sirus is half nightshade wolf, and he can manipulate, and sometimes communicate with the shadows.
group
“Aurelius manipulates shadows too, but of course, that’s part of the deal being a shadow element. I’ve never heard of him talking to shadows before though. He can speak to the dead, but that’s a religion thing, not a power thing. Although, he does have this really terrifying ability- I don’t really know how to explain it. It’s extremely destructive. It almost… takes life out of everything it touches,” Septima explained.
"Never heard of that one" said Arthur, eyebrow raised. "He must be closer to a dark element…"
group
"Perhaps," Septima murmured, "It's honestly a little scary, but I know he hates using it, so I mean, I wouldn't worry about him being 'evil' or anything like that."
"A dark element isn't necessarily evil, to be really technical my aura is technically a dark element."
group
"Things are much simpler where we're from, and sometimes they do jump to conclusions on one's character based on their powers," Septima said, "I only say that because of prior experience."
Arthur shrugged, "Well in my case I either get, wonder, or absolute confusion, so…." he shrugged.
group
"Well, as an outsider, I might be pretty frightened seeing a plant wither away at a boy's touch, but… I think things should stay as wonder and confusion as much as possible- never fear and hatred. He usually tries to hide that side of him, favoring more illusions and shadow manipulation," Septima said.
Arthur nodded "I can relate, I usually stick to illusions and aura manipulation, and avoid some of the other things I'm capable of"
group
"I don't blame either of you," Septima sighed, "Hey, should we just do a quick check on Skye?"
Arthur shrugged, "He'll be out in the streets by now, I don't think he'll be getting into trouble."
group
"Yeah, but it'd still be nice to check in, just to be sure," Septima said.
Skye, did everything go smoothly?
Yep, though I suggest we keep a low profile he replied.
group
That was always the plan. I'll do my best to keep up the ruse, Septima replied.
Good said Skye, before cutting the link.
group
Septima sighed, “All that’s left is to keep it up. Gods know why they would’ve sent me to do this kind of work though.”
"You're pretty good at it though" said Arthur.
group
“Laying low, sure, but I’m not a fan of the whole acting like someone I’m not thing,” Septima replied, “I’ve always been more of an assassin type, I suppose. If they’d asked me to go off a leader, that would’ve been easy.”
