un: a civil serpent | video
( Emilia di Carlo's hair has seen better days.
It looks suspiciously nest-like, and one of her sleeves singed and torn. The further she and Wrath walk back into the village, the more she feels it: the mark of hollowed things. The withered trees and the dying river beds. ... To say they have missed out on recent developments is an understatement.
But they do not come without news of their own. )
We were able to go very deep into the volcano and discovered something in the process.
( For this rare moment, Wrath appears to be somewhat disheveled as well. His hair is out of place. There's light scratch marks upon his cheek. His suit is singed. His sleeve on the right sight has been entirely burned away, revealing a muscular arm. In his pocket, he carries with him a piece of what they found though he has little interest in mentioning that out loud just yet. He wants to understand what it is first, and so he glances at Emilia with a grim nod and then supplies further: )
At the center of the volcano, an apparent naturally made mirror is being used as a cork to hold back a mounting level of lava, a potent flow of magic, and an unimaginable number of spirits. The pressure appears to be mounting.
( ooc: vi and i had a hiatus in april, and this help explains the absence of emilia and wrath during that time. EDITED the following day when i realized i missed a detail about the volcano. it was naturally made from a large pool of dark water. )

Lily may not be here, but Emilia is, and there is still much to be done. )
Lily and I, we would teach each other spells from our respective worlds. One of the first ones she taught me was a mending charm. Would it work with fractures of this nature? ( Even as she asks, she's aware it's a short-term solution. )
private.
It might! I would love to try it, though if the damage has been sustained for an extended period of time, we might need...wards, or charms to make the mending stick.

It would also need to withstand the unnatural heat and magic of the volcano itself. It's difficult to explain what we felt upon reaching the core — just unimaginable. ( both in terms of potency, and the sheer level of spirits. she wouldn't be able to quantify. )
