Ana woke slowly to an unfamiliar place, all at once confining and cast. She sat up, looking around as she became more aware, which only served to confuse her more. Had she been captured? Where was she?

Gilly was fast asleep in a spare bed.

The room Ana found herself in was akin to a large storage room, complete with a set of large double doors at the far end of the room. To the upper left end of the room was a rack of familiar armor, a familiar shield, and a sword. To the upper right end was three crates in a triangle stack, along with four smaller boxes laid around it. To the lower left end was a box that seemed to radiate heat, glowing from the inside. It was sealed over multiple ways to prevent being opened, and actually did a good job of keeping the room temperature regulated with the assistance of another box on the opposite side, emitting a cold aura but not sealed nearly as tight. Ana was placed against the wall between the equipment and heat radiating box, with the wall opposite her having an oval shape carved into the wall like some sort of opening was meant to be there.

Megan looked around at the wisps around her as she suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapping around her body. Her face began to in her eyes as she simply heard "Hey, sweetie"

"Dad" was the response Megan gave. She fell to her knees as the nerves were overcome with joy, then turned and hugged her father. She just held him for a long time. She almost felt like she could never let go.

Troy looked up as he sensed movement within his pocket dimension, slowing his horse to a stop. Hopefully that was Ana waking up, and not anything else.

Ana walked up to the door, reaching out to touch it.

Tina let the others go first, knowing she would have her turn when it came.

Ana turned, seeing Troy. “Unconventional, but smart way to travel,” she remarked.

“These go to Sunmerhelm?” Ana asked curiously.

(I guess?)
"Well, we're technically in summerheim now. This door opens if I want it to, but the gate behind me will close. The really big doors to the vaults only opens to the vaultkeeper."

Balkan spoke up "Good to see you're awake, I was getting concerned!" Kyranos was not present currently.

“So..what’re we doing?” Ana asked.

Tina let the others talk, quiet.

Alexander stated "She's always been a handful." He sighed "All the Infernals are"

Megan paused "The Infernals?"

"Yeah, that's their last name" stated the founder of the BLoodline. "I can what you did wrong right away. If Xil is in a rage, you have to be firm and commanding. When she's calm by all be respectful, but when she's that pissed off. You have to be commander, bark orders for her to stop, be demanding, be stubborn with your demands and do not waver. Xil respects power, carry yourself like you are her equal and don't show signs if you doubt you are. She will pick up on it, and your words will be in one ear and out the other."

Megan looked around for confirmation since everyone in this room has met Xiluhr at least once, aside from Gilly and Ivan. Jason nodded stating. "Her dad said something to piss her off once, and I barked at her for hours, literally, until she calmed down."

(Feel free to create your own instances where the noctures you controlled calmed Xilhur. All of them have Be creative)

(Yeah this kinda forces naru to use xiluhr in a very specific way, and this only increases the amount of special snowflake-ism the nocturne lineage follows. Them all just instinctively knowing a nickname for her and always using it was bad enough, but saying "Xiluhr always acts this way, if you do this she always calms down" when it's not your character is getting a bit too far. I really don't see Kyranos talking Xiluhr down from anything, he'd sooner use his vaguely described kung fu skills to force her away.)

"In all honestly she changes too frequently to know," Tina said. "What worked for Alex didn't work for me, or anyone else. She's the God of Chaos for a reason. Nothing is predictable with her."

"Which would be easier?" Ana asked.
