I'm actually a little surprised I don't see more people flying around.
[But such sweet, innocent goals... He hopes he'll be able to help her get her wish. Of course, it would help if they were to begin with.
And now they have arrived in a rather large meadow, with flowers and grass, and most importantly space, plentiful. Here he brings Nyx to a halt and slides down before holding his arms out to her to either jump or slide down into.]
[ Flying... maybe that was something she could work on. To be able to reach the sky again-
Her thoughts drift back down to the ground though when the horse stops, and Lyria joyfully leaps into Eustace's arms when they are extended out to her.
In the rush activities that lead them here she had nearly almost forgotten their purpose for the ride. But... there was no sense backing down now, not when they've already made their way here. ]
[There's just a small spin when he catches her before he sets her down. He'll then loosen Nyx's tack so he can roam free without much hindrance before turning to Lyria.]
[ The spin, while sudden, was much appreciated as a string of happy giggles erupts from the back of her throat.
It helped, in a way, to lessen the nerves that tried to creep in the moment her feet landed on the ground.
With a nod towards Eustace Lyria will look outwards toward the open area before taking in a deep breath and pushing forward to stand several yards away from him.]
... I am.
[ She places a hand to her chest. Concentrating... feeling the swirl of emotions given off by what she could sense was the restless Primals. They must have been as scared as her. To be so far away, and only have a piece of them in this world. However, in order to protect her friends, this is what she wanted to do. She only hoped that the Primals would want to do the same. ]
Please... [ Lyria called out as she closed her eyes. Her hand still pressed against the crystal.
This is the first time in a long time she has called out to them without the help of Gran. It felt lonely in some regards, to be calling out their names alone, but she steeled herself through it. ] Please, lend me your aid...
[ The crystal began to give off that same, shimmering light that it had done time and time again, and for a moment it nearly encapsulated her entire figure.
Slowly, steadily, she will breathe out the name— ]
[Although Eustace has seen this many times before, it is strange for her to do this without Gran. He even briefly imagines the young captain standing right there next to her, Vyrn floating on her other side.
...It really is so strange...and he also wonders if she will be able to do it at all. Yet the light that surrounds is proof that something is happening, and he steps back just a little in case the primal will need the room—but not too far in case something happens. The brightness of the light does make him need to close his right eye and raise his hand to cover it out of caution, but Yggdrasil...
A safe one to try. Will she appear? He thinks he sees something forming, particles of light converging in front of Lyria...]
[ It feels as though it had been so long since she last called out to someone. Yet despite having done is so many times in the past, the light shines bright enough that even she has to close her eyes...
... she didn't expect what she was going to see when they light began to fade, though.
There floating just a few inches away from her, was Yggdrasil. At least... that's who she thinks it was!?
She was smaller, much smaller than she had ever seen her before. And as Yggdrasil emerges the primal chimes happily and begins to encircle Lyria in the air.
Cue the girl turning to look at Eustace with the most confused look on her face. ]
I... I did it just like I always do! But she's...! [ SMALL. SO SMALL? ]
[...He almost wants to poke, but he doesn't, instead just stepping a little closer to look. He knows the primal is one of the friendlier ones, but he still keeps some distance for various reasons.]
[ When Eustace mentions her name, the Primal will chime happily once again, her face expressing something of a confused delight- perhaps she was simply content with being summoned.
Yggdrasil peers down at herself, head tilting to the side before directing her attention to the two of them. ]
I- I am not sure. I think she is just as confused as we are... [ Yggdrasil blinks before hovering over to Eustace as well and giving him a once over.
She peers at herself again, then to him, and again back to herself. The chimes are lower now, but she doesn't seem to be frowning. ]
Hmm... I think she's wondering why she's so tiny. At least, that's what I feel. There seems to be a lot of confusion... [ Just like all of them, apparently.
Lyria gives a sympathetic look to the Primal, who merely nods her head in response. ]
But she's not hurt! Yggdrasil, would you mind showing us some of your powers? [ Oh!! Testing something out??
Again Yggdrasil will chime, a bit enthusiastically, before closing her eyes and concentrating on the ground.
... Except when she tries to, the earth in the spot she chooses to move merely digs itself up, as if attempting to plow a small area for gardening. ]
It's...possible given that she's in such a small form. Unless she's somehow still connected to our world differently from us, she would be following the same rules. That means instead of the usual mana she draws on from our world, it would be dreamotion. If she can learn to harness it like we do, she may be able to regain her strength.
Ah, you're right! Did you hear that, Yggdrasil! You're going to be fine! [ She balls her hands into tight fists will looking encouragingly over to the Primal who seems... still rather confused by it all. But she will nod, regardless, and go back to attempt to plow the small patch- ]
Which means I have to get stronger with my dreamotion, too! If I can do it... maybe that will help them, too!
[ She shrinks a bit under the head pat, but it does much to dispel any of the previous thoughts that were lingering behind.
She wanted to do her best and wanted to prove that through her actions. So when Eustace asked about another summon, Lyria will nod her head. ]
Yes, I can do another!
[ ... However, Yggdrasil doesn't look convinced. She gives a worried look over to Eustace, all the while shaking her head and giving a small warning chime. ]
[ Lyria opens her mouth to protest, but Yggdrasil's chimes louder with a small huff! ]
It... it may be because I haven't tried in this world yet! I usually have Gran with me, so... [ The girl seems a little defeated and casts her gaze to the floor. ]
It is...? [ She looks between the two, and even though Yggdrasil still doesn't quite understand the details, the Primal will give a soft nod before hovering over to Lyria's shoulder.
The girl smiles, returning the nod, before closing her eyes and clasping her hands together. With a soft goodbye under her lips she will bid her goodbye and in a small flash of light (not as bright as when she was summoned) Yggdrasil is gone. ]
Ah, I am a little hungry... [ She admits as a hand goes to her stomach. It was an adventurous day, but she was glad she was able to learn and do so much with Eustace! ]
Okay! Do you mind if I hold the reigns this time? I want to try and see if I can guide the horse!
[And he'll lead her back to where Nyx is waiting, helping her back on the horse. Once he's at least gotten them in the right direction, he lets Lyria take the reins for a try.]

He'll step over so he can gently place a hand over Lyria's head, lightly patting it.]
They will.
[Lyria, too.]
Do you want to try to summon another? Or did that take up a lot of energy for you?

I'm sorry...
no subject
It's fine, this was your first attempt. Once you've learned more and Yggdrasil thinks it safe, you can try again.
Being able to summon her even now is quite a feat.
no subject
The girl smiles, returning the nod, before closing her eyes and clasping her hands together. With a soft goodbye under her lips she will bid her goodbye and in a small flash of light (not as bright as when she was summoned) Yggdrasil is gone. ]
Thank you... both of you.

[He looks at the space Yggdrasil had been a little thoughtfully before he looks back at Lyria.]
Let's head back. You must be hungry after all that.
