✦ ✧ ✦ Aphrodite is not far behind from Flora, looking over her shoulder. "Coveners, you heard! Let's go help out!" After all, it was in their nature to help our their allies. So soon after the Dark Dynasty had helped the Coven, it was time for them to repay them. She looks to Molly with concern in her blue eyes, "Are you okay? Do you need treatment?"

✦ ✧ ✦ "Coveners! Gather for this week's meeting!" Aphrodite calls routinely as she skips through the dank hallways. Sweeping her tail along the side of the mountain cavern, dipping past the crystals, she finds herself in the meeting hall. It felt early because she was off last meeting, but she promised that she wouldn't make that mistake again. Aphrodite sits by the large crystal that illuminates the room, leaning against it. She liked living here now, she could swear that the crystals were vibrating good energy - Or maybe that was just her going a little bit more crazy by the day.

As faces filter into the hall, she smiles warmly, "Let's start with greeting our many new faces for the week: FLORA! , CLAYTON ! , SOLAF. , and BUCKHOLTZ . Welcome to the Coven, I hope you like it here!" She says with a soft purr lingering in her tone. "Next is everyone's favorite part: rank changes!"

She pauses for a few moments, allowing everyone to die down from their whispers. "Davis has stepped down from his position, but the Coven thanks him for his service. In other news, OLWEN is promoted to star seeker and FLORA! is promoted to sun jumper. SITRI is receiving a shoutout for their recent activity - Keep it up and there will be a promotion headed your way." Aphrodite says as a wide smile stretches across her maw. There's some eagerness to her tone, as if she's excited to hand out the promotions. She was so thankful that once again, she had no warnings or demotions to give out. Everyone seemed to be on their ball game. "Also, OLWEN and FLORA! are both receiving stargazer titles. OLWEN is also receiving the interstellar title. Congratulations to all of you." Aphrodite adds quickly. She hoped that it would serve as encouragement for her clanmates to strive and do more.

After a few moments to allow the crowd to digest the rank changes, she continues on. "As far as things going on in the Coven goes, Olwen is hosting a meet and greet, Olwen is hosting herb lessons, Flora is having a picnic, and Debiru is having an herb patrol. Everyone was already accounted for in the Saturn meeting, but if you are part of the Mars division, don't forget to go to the Mars division meeting. Since Davis has stepped down, IVAN will be taking over as head of the Mercury division. Lastly, if you are new and don't currently have a divsion, be sure to check out our planetary divisions hub." Wow, what a mouthful, but at least she got threw it. Divisions were a complicated thing, but she was glad they were making progress on them instead of having them stagnant. "Finally, the Dark Dynasty is under attack so if you can, please go help them out like they helped us. We also spotted the Ruins stealing prey on our territory, so I am warning you all to be on the lookout for Ruiners. I want border patrols around the clock, and nobody should be patrolling or leaving the mountains alone." Aphrodite announces with a more stern tone. She couldn't risk someone disappearing on her - She couldn't have it happen again. "If no one has any questions or concerns, the meeting is dismissed. If someone could take up weekly tasks, that would be awesome!"

✦ ✧ ✦ "Oh yes - We're a Clan! This is the Coven of Elysia, and I'm it's leader." Aphrodite says with a small smile forming on her maw. Perhaps he wasn't familiar with clan life. . Aphrodite didn't know anything besides it. "You're more than welcome to stay. We have plenty of room." She says with a small purr in her voice, gesturing beside her towards the mountain. "Just, before you go - What's your name?"

✦ ✧ ✦ "I wouldn't say we necessarily lost the battle on your own territory. Three of you wouldn't stand a chance." Aphrodite says sternly to Mochi, a harshness developing in her icy gaze. "I do not seek conflict, but the Ruins has taken my kindness for granted. Make no mistake, everyone in the Coven is very capable of using their teeth and claws." Aphrodite says, lashing her tail back and forth. There was never any hatred in Aphrodite's heart, nothing dark or evil brewing within her. In fact, all she wanted was the Ruins to go home. It was better that way, but she could no longer allow her gentle and pacifist lifestyle to endanger those she loved. "I was willing to make a truce to protect the both of us. As I said, I don't seek conflict. I don't like war, and I don't like fights. If it's avoidable, I will avoid it. However, you aren't giving me that option. A cornered animal bites back." Aphrodite says to Evangeline, letting a sigh pass her lips. "I'll give you a final warning. Leave at once. Go eat the bodies rotting on your border."

✦ ✧ ✦ "I can make muffins!" Aphrodite says brightly.

✦ ✧ ✦ "Welcome back," Aphrodite says with a gentle purr in her voice as she arrives. She's getting used to seeing Lavinia, after all, she'd been coming as their ambassador for a few times now. "How are you? How is the Kingdom?" Aphrodite asks, despite having been there herself just a few days ago. Nonetheless, it was kind to ask.

✦ ✧ ✦ "I'll take one, Olwen," Aphrodite says as she trots forward.

✦ ✧ ✦ When Aphrodite had received an invitation to Flora's picnic, she was overwhelmed with excitement. Picnics were Aphrodite's favorite thing to do, just to casually lay on the grass with friends and eat in the sunshine together. She wasted no time in preparing an apple cobbler for the picnic, thinking it would be bad manner to show up empty handed.

She arrives to the picnic, her baby pink hair tied up into two pigtails. Dressed in a soft pink A-line dress, she took pastel dreams to a new level. "Hi everyone!" She says as she walks towards the group, the cobbler in her hands. A smile spreads from ear to ear, a faint blush appearing on her round cheeks. "I brought apple cobbler to share!" She says, placing it down with the rest of the food.

✦ ✧ ✦ Aphrodite trots to the border of the Sanctuary, often looking over her shoulder to make sure VIDEO was following her. She needed him for moral support, and well, it was his job to be there too. The young Polaris stops at the border, placing down a basket as a sigh comes out of her parted lips. "I hope this goes okay." She says, looking to Video with a hopeful gaze.

/ don't need to wait for vid to post!

✦ ✧ ✦ After the Sanctuary, Aphrodite and VIDEO headed for the Arcane. She remembers briefly meeting with the leader, but nothing beyond that. The Polaris waits at the border of the Arcane, setting down a basket on the ground. "Round two." She says, looking to Video. She shifts her weight back and forth on her paws, waiting in anticipation.

/don't need to wait for video!

✦ ✧ ✦ Aphrodite trots to the Tribelands, finding them not very far from the Arcane. It was their third trip of the day, and Aphrodite was growing tired. She huffs as she places another basket down at the border, sitting down with a thud. "Here goes nothing," Aphrodite says as she looks to VIDEO with a soft smile.

/don't need to wait for vid!

✦ ✧ ✦ Aphrodite was more hopeful for this visit. This was a friendly visit, after all, and she didn't have any bad news to share. Aphrodite just figured that while venturing between the Tribelands and Arcane with VIDEO that they might as well stop by the Courts as well. Aphrodite walks to the border of the Court, setting down another gift basket.

✦ ✧ ✦ The last time Aphrodite had been here, she was a child. It was a long time ago that few would recall, but she had been captured by Overlord who took no pity on her. It wasn't until Sangria and Ver came along that her life was spared - They wouldn't bare to see a child be hurt, even in the Ruins. Aphrodite was no longer a child though, nor did the Ruins seem to care about hurting children anymore. Things were different under Elian's leadership, harsher, in fact.

She stares harshly at Zach, her lips drawing a thin line. Even in the Church, it was unsettling. Their Red God was the most disturbing figment of their imagination out of everything she'd ever experienced. At least she could see the stars when it came down to what her beliefs entailed. She wouldn't have put up much of a fight anyway, despite Zach taking away her ability to run and scream for help. Scream, maybe, but she wouldn't fight Zach, not even in a dire moment that could change her life. As he releases her, she lets out a puff of breath as if she was exhausted and drained from the experience. Her icy gaze rests coldly on Zach, and for a few moments, she doesn't say anything. "Are you proud of yourself?" She asks, raising an eyebrow. "Congratulations on capturing the weakest member of the Coven. I'm sure your muscles are so worn out."

✦ ✧ ✦Aphrodite knew that one day, the Ruins would have their revenge on her. After all, she was an easy picking. The Ruiners knew that she wouldn't fight back, leaving her quite vulnerable. If it hadn't been for Ilya, she could have died at the hands of Carnivorouscarnival. Aphrodite lived to see many more days, but the Ruins struck once again. Aphrodite's den is empty, and her bed is cold. Nothing is left behind but the scent of Zacharias, a Ruins priest.

✦ ✧ ✦ The first to greet her is an unfamiliar face. "Hello there," Aphrodite says, her gaze turning to Mysticpaw as a small smile graces her lips. "I'm looking for whoever leads the Sanctuary at this time." She murmurs, pushing her paws against the ground.

✦ ✧ ✦ "A get together?" Aphrodite echoes after Geralt. After pursing her lips,s he nods her head, "I'd love that!"

✦ ✧ ✦ [rip me]

Aphrodite looks at the face greeting them, smiling softly. "You're welcome." She responds, even though the basket meant rather somber things. "I'm looking for the leader. Could you help us out?" Aphrodite asks with a tilt of her head graciously.

✦ ✧ ✦ How long had she been here now? Aphrodite was beginning to lose track of time. It was so unbelievably boring to sit in the prison. It was dank, smelly, and all around not a fun experience. Even as she sat there in the corner, rubbing her paws on the ground, she stares blankly at her paws. Part of her wondered if anyone would come and save her, or if the Coven had simply given up on her. After all, it was her fault. She was weak, small, fragile, and all around not a fighter. She could never bring herself to fight someone, not even a Ruiner who had tortured her for their sick religion. She had no drive to do so, it would only make her as bad as them. The Polaris sits in the prison, puffing out a sigh. She wanted to go home.

SAMAEL ASTERAOTH

✦ ✧ ✦ Of course there's a crowd that forms. Who wouldn't want to see the Polaris strung up like a doll in preparation for their sick ceremony? Aphrodite's gaze turns to Devil, the next who speaks to her. She shakes her head, puffing out her cheeks. "It doesn't matter." She responds quietly. "I've done my job as leader. If I die, Video will serve better than myself as the next leader. I would rather it be me than anyone else in the Coven." She responds with a murmur, looking away from Devil. Aphrodite cared for her life, but she didn't value herself more than her clanmates. Besides, Debiru would make a great healer, and Video a great leader. There was nothing that made Aphrodite special in her leadership. Video was stronger than her, powerful, and vengeful. She knew that if she died here, Video would be taking heads. Her gaze flutters back to Zach momentarily. "So what part do I play in this?"
