He fistbumped her fist.
"No problem."

She offers an earnest smile before standing up and doing what she does best: Communicating with beings outside of the peripheral understanding of reality. I'm not joking, that is one of her claims to fame. "HEYYY!! I'M BETTER NOW!!! IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN COME OUT NOW! MY RUNES ARE FIXED SO WE CAN-"
She abruptly cuts herself off as her eyes go wide as they can be and her mouth goes stiff. She bows her head, closes her eyes and concentrates on the ringing she hears.

(Oh boy, special inside knowledge about things!)

I think so. I'll ask the others.

Hel snaps her eyes open and looks around the room in a slight haze. She turns to Vozreal and Azgoroth and puts her hands together. "Okay folks! We're getting somewhere! Now that I've established a link with my friend, all we need now is for her to 'anchor' herself in this plane of reality! Do any of you have anything that could help a… concept that's…" She pauses. "that's dead but also alive because of a curse, but the curse functions aversely like a normal curse, but was corrected, but not really, but…" She stops herself before she makes any more confusing remarks or exposes some DEEP spoilers. No that her entire character isn't a spoiler. "Does anyone have ANYTHING?"

"Hm. She is certainly communing with something".

"I do…" He said, pulling out something like that

Hel picks up Vozreal's "thing" and holds it out to the nothingness.
Will this work?
- - X - -
Fat oof.
Hel takes the "thing" and chucks it 20 miles to the left. "Yeah she said that wouldn't work. Said something about, 'approximate biological composition' or something? It's weird. She's weird." She looks down with a strange look on her face. She looks hurt but also guilty. She looks up at Azgoroth and does a double take. "Wait… wait… Azzy, I think you might have something she can use!" She looks up at him and start wagging her finger at him with an idea glistening in her eyes.

"Why do I feel like I'm not going to like this, Undoer what do you require?"

"Okay so basically-"

! X @ X !
Dude, it's exactly what you need!

"Right, so, she needs your-"

! ! X ! !
QUITE IT! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

"HAA! So. We need your-"

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
STOP MISBEHAVING! For Pete's sake, swallow your pride and deal with it! Do you have any better ideas!?
@ $$ % & !
Well you could've just takin' something from me but noooo.
- & $ % []
… Just deal with it. Okay? Please?

She shakes her head vigorously and looks up to Azgoroth a little worn out. "Ugh, she's a feisty one. Just hear me out okay?" She takes a deep breath. "On a scale from one to ten, how much do you need your antlers?"

Azgoroth actually closed his eyes and opened them "Ah, They are not. Essential… I can part with these ones, They will regrow". He grimaces "Eventually, you will have to remove them manually though".

Hel hums in understanding and closes her eyes to focus.

You here that? He'll be fine. And you will be too! So don't feel bad, okay?
- - - - -
You ready to exist?
@ - - - ()
Don't worry! I'm sure you'll get along with them!

She opens her eyes as a new flame of determination makes the color in her irises flare vibrantly. "Okay, bend down, and I'm gonna try and pry that sucker off. Tell me if it hurts! I don't wanna kill ya. I think we can suffice with one so you can keep the other."

"Alright then" Azgoroth grimaced slightly as the horn was removed but made no sound "Let us see this ally of yours".

"Yeah! I wanna see them!"
(It just looks like a clone of Vozreal lol, jk jk… unless?)

Hel looks in surprise at how easy that was. "Oh wow, so they're detachable? That's weird man." She faces away from him and kneels to the ground. She draws a large circle about the size of a manhole cover and begins to etch signs and symbols inside of it. She stands up, looks at her handiwork, and nods in satisfaction. She looks at the other two and makes a 'shoo' motion with her hand. "I need you two to back up. This might get a bit… dangerous." She starts rubbing her hands together and clicks her tongue. "I haven't done Void Magic in a fat second."

He backed up like 6 feet

“Void based Magica?” Asks Azgoroth “Where I come from only followers of Cer’Sherad practice that class of magic. Though I doubt yours and ours are similar. It’s subclasses are potent but the toll it takes on a mortals soul is devastating, I shall distance myself as you ask”.

Hel snorts. "Oh yeah! Void Magic is hella dangerous! Like people die and stuff if they try to use it! I'm lucky cause I got-" She does a little pose that concludes with her legs far apart and her arms in the air. "Crooked Veins! It's like a get out a jail free card! Only for death! It's pretty cool." She stands in front of the circle and sets down the antler in the middle. She starts wiggling her limbs a bit and then tilts her head to one side and then to the other until she feels the nub of a crack. She kneels down and puts her left hand on the right side and her right hand on the left. She closes her eyes.
The air goes stiff.
Any ambient noise or sound is eliminated from the room.
Hel lightly hums a deep hymn. The lines and shapes beneath her claws glow white. Hel tightens her fists as she feels the light burn her, but keeps her palms flat on the ground. She hums louder and more intense as a single note hangs in the air and mingles with her hymn. The antler slowly raises off the ground and holds itself in the air. It glows a brightly as darkness veils its shapes and morphs it into… something else.
No.
Someone else.

"Hello!" He said to the new ally being

“Oh hello undoer” Says Azgoroth “It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I am Azgoroth, everlasting planner and Elder god of time”.

The light takes a shape of a bipedal creature. It develops more features as Hel continues to hum. It gains fingers, toes, clothing. Specifically a long dress that covers its feet and sleeves that cover its wrists. From its head pours a wave upon wave of hair. Whereas Hel's and her sister have straight sharp hair, this one has more wavy and soft hair. It finally takes a shape that stills and solidifies as the light slowly fades from the being.
Her hands are clasped together beneath her waist.
Her head is slightly bowed and her eyes are closed, as if she were sleeping.
She was as still as a statue, not even a breath was made for her lungs.
Hel opens her eyes and looks up. She leaps up so high from her kneel, she almost sprang 10 feet in the air.
"Hey! You're here! Wake up and say hi!"
She does so. Revealing irises colored a faded amethyst. She lifts her head to show a face that could best be described as apathetic serenity. She nods her head towards Hel with a soft hum and looks to Vozreal and Azgoroth.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all." Her voice is like a gonging church bell. She bows forward and lets her hair pool from her shoulders. Her movements look calculated and formatted. She is completely stiff, but her hair still flows as if there were a faint breeze.
She lifts her head. "For now, please refer to me as Keziah. The Faithless Acolyte."

“A bit of a rhetorical isn’t it” chuckles Azgoroth “but who am I to complain? It is a pleasure to finally know you. Faithless Acolyte”. Azgoroth looks pointedly at the being as if studying it. “A pleasure indeed. But now that your ally is here Hel. Now what is the plan?”

Keziah looks at Azgoroth and stares into his cosmic eyes. She sees his missing antler and slowly blinks. She turns herself to him. "So you are the one who offered a part of himself to me. I must thank you. I was afraid that a minor being of some kind would be giving me a pathetic anchor, but you as a temporal deity and eldritch manifestation have made my existence possible." She bows low. "You have my gratitude, Azger- Azgoroth." She clear her throat a bit and straightens herself, looking away. "My apologies. I must get used to having vocal cords." Hel comes up behind her and gives her a big hug, much to Keziah's chagrin. "Hel. Down. Now." Hel does as she says and laughs a little.
"Sorry! This sort of thing never happens y'know! I want to savor this time with you." She looks at Keziah with earnest and doting eyes, who returns her affection with sagging shoulders and a sigh.
"The plan, Hel."
"Oh! Right." Hel claps her hands and turns to everyone. "Okay everyone listen up! This needs a little bit of explaining!" She sits herself on the ground. Keziah does the same and rests her hands in her lap.

"Should I sit down?" He asked

"Yeah! Join the discussion circle! It's the 'How to Neutralize Hex Plan!' Title pending." Hel gestures to the space in front of her on the ground. Keziah simply waits.

He sits where Hel tells him to

Azgoroth coils into a resting position and rests his head on his hand.
