He can be a duck for all I care [1/2]

Despite being in the same body, the woman in front of me was not my {Kindred}. Ethereal, mysterious and powerful beyond belief, she walked. At her every step, moss or something grew like a verdant carpet. It was as if Vela's very feet gave the ground life.

With the battle over and the demons gone, I canceled {Day by day}. I thus focused on the one before me. A powerful being who somehow felt familiar but at the same time alien. Feeling drawn to her; I moved to meet the Astral possessing my Italian lover. 

Seeing my reaction Vela smiled, "Darling, I hope you liked my gift. I have gone a little overboard and must rest. During this period, please take care of this child. She gets lonely quite easily."

'STUPID VELA! You are the one who tried to show off! And now your hurt!'

Finally hearing my {Kindred} I felt relieved, only to grimace at the last part of Jo's statement.

"Vela, you are hurt? Are you alright? What can I do to help?"
