As Huginn climbed in altitude, Lumikki kept her eyes locked on him. For good measure, she even marked all the ravens with the power of her eye. Should they scatter, she would still know exactly where they were.
Despite how far Huginn was flying off, she could still see him as clear as if he was flying just beside her. And that was when she finally noticed a serpentine creature threading through the clouds. Lumikki held her breathe trying to figure out what to do. If the beast did not notice the raven just yet, her flying up beside Huginn could then draw on too much attention. But before she could settle on what she would prefer to do, Huginn let out a cry when he finally realized there was something more than perhaps he would bargain for. She could see from the corner of her eye an X, his brother, moving up within the sky to meet him.
Lumikki pulled her fingers to her lips, blowing out a whistle that her ravens could hear even though they were as high up as they were. They knew all to well the sound she made and began to pull back and heed her call. Flying for where she was Brone was now.
”Telling from the features Unlce, it’s looking like a Leviat. But I didn’t know ye could see one here.” He was already pulling the reigns back at this point, Noctus was leaving the ground and entertains the sky. Lumi knew how hard that was for him and that even though he was taking the measures to, it would more than likely be up to her to intervene. Fine with her she thought, this spiked the adrenaline in her blood. The Daemon was fully excited to take this all on.
Her wings would form and she took on a full transformation. And as the words from her Uncle to face the beast left his mouth, she already kicked off.
”Ahead of ye Uncle, ya could leave this to me but watch the birds!” Her flock was nearing and she already told them to stay by Brone. Most didn’t compain except Gunvald.
”Stay with him for what my Revna. He could manage himself fine, and at least I should be with you!” Lumikki didn’t linger in the air for that long when her brothers were in danger of being attacked. All she could after his was a look in her eyes that convey exactly what she meant to say.
Do as you were told… And so he did, flying with the rest to where Brone was. Though the look sent chills down his feathers, it only made him love her more all the same.
The two birds had met over to break off in two directions. Lumikki chuckled at how cleaver the two really were, and pleased to see how well their strategy had worked. So as the beast stood still, stunned by their tactic. Lumikki came darting in at full force. Hungry to clash with the beast and maybe like Brone had Geri all that time ago, make this one her’s. A grin crept her face as her fangs poked out. She was quite content to clash indeed.
The Leviat shaking off its confusion began to fly in the direction Muninn went. He was flying toward his brother so that they may cross paths again one more time before heading straight back to Brone. The creature had not yet picked up on Lumi due to its attention already being occupied with the smaller birds. So when Lumikki crossed her arms quickly, sending to frost talons his way, he did not notice it in time. One crashed wish his face, the other held its body in place. The Leviat shook violently to free himself and recover from the blow. No longer occupied with chasing the ravens as much as it was rearing to attack Lumi now instead. When the two ravens descended enough that she not longer had to worry for them, she curled her fingers and tilted her head. A massive grin was planted on her face as all the air around her was struck with a deep and strong chill. Even the water from with in the clouds were beginning to crystallize, bits and pieces of hail started to fall from her tampering.
The beast was also feeling the brunt of her chill, its movements slowing to a near halt for it. Black frost was spreading along its scales and flowers were starting to even bloom. Lumikki flew right for it again and though it was struggling to stay in the air let alone move, it tried to swat the Daemon with it’s tail before trying to climb even higher in the sky.
It was not hard for Lumi to evade the attack, the speed of the creature was minimal now. And just as it tried to recoil its tail, she sunk her talons into its flesh so that she could easily cling on. Climbing up in the sky along with the creature, testing just as far high up as it could go.
Slow as the creature was at first, it did begin to rocket forward. Far passing the point above the clouds, to heights Lumi herself had not bother to reach. The world below her was foreign to her now, nothing but a sea of clouds remained as she enjoyed the sights and the ride up. But when the air was becoming to thin for even her to breath easily anymore, she knew it was time to finish this encounter now. She swiped her free hand once more to make another talon, this one descending toward the Leviat’s face so that it would knock them back down some with the blow. The creature let out a scream and Lumi thought short of breath let out one of her own to match them. She finally released her grip on its tail setting herself loose. And as the creature was falling just pass her from the blow, she grabbed on to its head.
She allowed the beast and herself to drop for some time, shooting passed the clouds left her and the creature drenched. And the further her and the beast dropped, the more speed they took on until they had reached max velocity. Lumi enjoyed the drop, giggling as the two fell before she figure it was time to set them back once more. She didn’t want to kill this beast but instead make it her own. She gave the being a kiss just above it’s eye,
”Figure Asger would make a fine name, what cha think of it mate?” The beast was mostly silent now, but it was also docile by this point. As Lumi would hope for, he didn’t see a point to fighting her anymore.
She laid both palms on Asger‘s scales, black flowers blooming once more but for benevolent reasons this time as the wounds inflicted in the fight were healing. She gave him another kiss as her frost talons would form once more but caress him this time. Holding him back from falling any longer and cutting into the speed from which they dropped. With some of the strength of his returned, he managed to hold himself up in the sky once more. Circling in the air for a moment to recover from his previous shocks before adhering her direction to fly toward her Uncle. Lumi content with her conquest sat back, wings and form disappearing as she waved back to Brone,
”His name is Asger, What cha think of it?!” She shouted on her return. The beast would circle around the flock and Brone, also stupefied from all that just happened. Meanwhile Lumi was hugging her new pet in complete satisfaction.
”Does that mean he’s on our side now?….” Alune was at a loss for words.
”I guess so…” Lonu answered.
”…..” Trygve flew in silence as he tried to make out what just happened.
Meanwhile,
”As expected of our Revna, right mates?!” Gunvald displaying must gusto at the show of strength and triumph. He loved to see it, and so while everyone else was just taking it all his, he was celebrating.
”I guess maybe it was for the best Geri stayed home after all?” She was laying on top of Asger at this point swinging her legs casually and quite comfortably.
