A distant, uncertain sensation that would either stir him awake or excited his blood. It was not until servants made him aware that the Viennrosette had been discovered wandering in her sleep.
Intuitive, Requiem would allow this to go on a night more, confirming that the sensation was a form of sorcery, and enchantment by a means subtle compared to the ways of the Penumbra. Returning Adriana to bed himself, he would follow her the next night to whatever destination it seemed she was guided. Lead to the Aquarian Hall, Adriana stop before one of the pools before returning whence she came.
It was then that Requiem broke the hold over his daughter, setting a ward about her temporarily to see if it would be tampered with; determining if it were by individual design or worse yet...
*Requiem's trap was never sprung, as whomever had placed a spell over his daughter was wise enough to know they had been found out. The severity of the matter seethed silently in the Viennrose, Someone so bold, yet powerful enough. Among his people. The implications of this darkened the halls of the Rose Palace and over the Penumbra.
