Jocelyn was entranced by whagt she saw before her. Of course, such things were an everyday occurance in a household where magic and Fae realities were a constant. She had done it! She had cut a doorway to one of the other Seven Realms of Existence and what was more is that she was holding it open as easily as an aedept would have done! It occured to her for a fragment of a moment that perhaps Azazeal might be helping her to maintain her control on some level, but why would he? Why would he ask her to shwo him what she could do and then bolster her ego falsely? She knew him well enough, she believed, that he wouldn't do that to her.
Jocelyn Ysabetta de Rochefort was no simpleton. She knew or at least she could sense when she was being patronised or played. Both her Papa and Maman as well as her godfather, Hsu and even Azazeal in his own way, had instructed her in the Ways of Power and honed her awarenesses. Jocelyn had been an apt pupil to each of them. She knew that when Azazeal talked to her he always gave her a certain deference. She liked that about him.
She kept focused and followed the instinct that told her she was protected. Inside that bubbling blue miasma of energy and spectoral light were faces, Fae and ethereal that beckined. Of course she could go in, couldn't she? It was natural. Why else open the portal than to go in?
She was about to relax her stance and lay aside her knife but thought better of it. As if on cue, within the golden and blue light appeared a beautiful blonde being. It was uncertain whether it was male or female or neuter. Around him or her, there were several cherub-like creatures that giggled and burbled happily. Jocelyn felt herself smile as the larger more effeminate being reached out a beckoning hand to her to come step through. Her feet, almost of their own accord began moving closer She was about to take the hand that reached out for her when the once gentle looking digits and palm began to turn into a hideously gnarled claw. It reached out and through the portal malevolentlhy and very nearly grasped her wrist that held the knife to pull her in with them. The face of the being turned ugly and haggard. "Come!" the creature bellowed, striking fear into Jocelyn's heart.
