	Valda looked stunned at what had happened. The man had managed to kill himself before they were able to get any information from him, and it pissed her off. Now how were they supposed to find Luna, he was the only lead that they had on her, and he had managed to kill himself without really trying to, he had been trying to kill Asha or something. Now they were back at the beginning, with no information aside from it was probably the Port Witch Coven. They had nothing that could help them find her sister, and she had no idea what to do.

	Hearing Rowland's words, Valda turned to face her other sibling, her brother. Someone had controlled him? This did not help her mood, at all. Someone had messed with her brother, her sister had been kidnapped, and someone had tried to kill her, all in one day. She was freaking out a little at all of this, there wasn't much she could do to fix things. She felt hopeless, and she was the one who was supposed to be the Queen of the Castle? She was doing a horrible job at it so far, and she didn't know what to do.

	Thalia was not generally one to show up randomly, especially since most people forgot that dragons existed. She sometimes wondered what her life would have been like had she not been turned into a dragon, but had rather stayed a normal human. None of this mattered now, it was time to go retrieve her child, and that meant dragging Richard along with her. [color=silver]"Come along Richard, we've got to go, the egg hatched,"[/color] she said simply, looking at him.

	The said man was currently sipping a scotch, not his usual fare but he was in the mood to change things up. One snake like eye looked at the dragon-woman. A stern frown cresting his features as he stood with the slow elegance of a born predator. [color=Olive]"Well, it's about time!"[/color] His British accent had thickened lately, a small quirk for when he was anxious, or feeling an extreme emotion. [color=Olive]"I still say you should have kept it with us, but it is as it is. Shall we?"[/color] A hand waved away the answer as he offered Thalia a arm.  

	[color=silver]"Actually, I was thinking of going in my full dragon form, makes it a bit easier to travel. Not to mention not many people would choose to argue with a dragon. They would be idiotic to do that if you ask me... And I told you, the egg was safer away from us..."[/color] she said, shaking her head at the offer of his arm. Thalia planned to scare as many people as possible, it'd be fun, and it had been a while since she had done something like that. Scaring people had become a nice sort of hobby for her.

	There was a deep and dark chuckle from the Adder at his lover's reasoning. [color=Olive]"Allow me to quote my sister- 'Humans are generally stupid. They are the only beings that run towards danger when it makes more sense to run away.'"[/color] His eyes glinted with amusement as he gave a bow to the woman. [color=Olive]"Be careful my lover. I'd hate to raise our child all alone."[/color] His other hand making a ushering gesture that she ought to get a move on. Eager as ever to meet this child of theirs. For all he knew Thalia was right, it irked and riled his scales that he could not protect the youngster as he should.

	She nodded her head, before she backed away slightly from him. Her body started to morph, her skin becoming scales. Thalia's clothes merged with her body as she grew in size, and a few moments later, she was a colossal sized silver colored dragon. She lowered her body to the ground, lowering her wing to use as a ramp for him, in case he should want a ride as that would make their travel much easier. Not to mention they had a slight time jump to go through in order to reach their destination.

	Richard smirked and whistled softly at Thalia's form. For all she was- It was beautiful. Taking the ramp of her wing up to the back with easy and well practiced steps. He pressed a kiss to the silver scales under her eye. [color=Olive]"You're beauty puts the stars to shame."[/color] The man slipped into a comfortable spot on her back and looked amused at the situation. [color=Olive]"Now shall we, O'Lady of the Stars?"[/color]

	[color=silver]"To a place called the Castle, far into the future,"[/color] she said, before she let out a loud roar a portal opening up in front of them. [color=silver]"At least our destination is a little more friendly to seeing dragons than the one we are from, so there shouldn't be much of a problem,"[/color] she added as she stood up fully, flapping her wings before she took off through the portal. Everything swirled around them, before the were out in the clear open air, flying above the Castle.

	Richard gripped Thalia tightly as he fought the urge to shift and surge himself into the air. For while he did have some capabilities at flight the portals through time always felt like a drop and sudden stop. A shifting of his innards that chased a chill up his spine. [color=Olive]"My, I don't know if I should be impressed or horrified. Though I will admit you picked a rather [i]interesting[/i] spot to secret away our little one."[/color] His voice was dry as he peered down at the Castle. Already plotting out what he could use and what areas might be best to avoid.

	[color=silver]"Yes, we are several thousand years into the future. You know Marygold? Her descendants rule the Castle, I left the egg in their care for the most part, I trusted them to keep an eye on it. I have heard that today was actually the coronation of the new Queen of the Castle. Wonder how they will react to seeing a dragon today,"[/color] she said, before she started heading downwards towards it.

	The man's thought train skidded to a shrieking stop. [color=Olive]"You put [i]our child[/i] in the hands of that little sapling's descendants?!"[/color] Richard felt insulted! Peeved! He and Marygold were not ones to see eye to eye, but they did hold respect to each others. Though that was one thing. Leaving his child in the hands of her children's children... He pressed a hand over his eyes. [color=Olive]"Don't answer that. You trust them and that is enough for me."[/color] For despite their differences, Marygold was a trusted ally.

	[color=silver]"With how much I travel, it made sense at the time,"[/color] Thalia countered as she flew down and saw the crowd on the Palace Lawn, and flew downwards. There wasn't really a good place for her to land though right by everyone. However, she did notice there was a place not too far from where the crowd was that was the perfect size for her to land. She soared downwards, eventually landing with a slight thud when she hit the ground.

	Richard slid from the silver dragoness's back as he studied the scene. A panicking crowd, a ceremony, and what perhaps was a dead body. [color=Olive]"Ah, lovely. Panic. Thalia, darling, you may want to shift back before they start shouting and hoisting weapons."[/color] The ground was thankfully firm under Richard's feet as he pulled a small pack of cigars from his suit's inner pocket. [color=Olive]"Now which way?"[/color] Flicking a lighter several times the end finally lit as the Adder blew a puff of smoke. Standing loose and at ease, though it was a lie. Richard was very ready and prepared to leap into defense of his dragoness or their child. Especially if this crowd got the pitchforks and torches.
