Good news is that Luna will manage to snap out of it fairly quickly, coming back to her senses and realizing what she had done. The voice is no longer in control of her, but who knows how long until Luna isn't Luna anymore again. Additionally, one of the Ordinary Wizards on bed rest went up and hobbled out, going to get Titan as Amarantha requested since they were short on help (Titan can arrive at the infirmary this post). Between the efforts of Skaoi and Becky, Amarantha would be stabilized. Becky managed to administer the cure and thanks to Amarantha's prior exposure, she'll be on her feet soon enough. Lyra will notice what seems to be a hooded figure looking in through the infirmary window amongst the chaos. And Prince Stinky...He is in need of proper [b]Physik[/b]. It seems he received the strongest dose. [b]Magyk[/b] may be needed to save his life - where is the ExtraOrdinary Wizard when she's needed? [@LadyRunic]: Esmerelda managed to reign in her temper, but Rhys' false words brought out fury in her. "Like I would tell [i]you[/i] of all people what happened to my son!" she snapped. Her sweet boy - he didn't deserve any of this to happen and she detested the implication that she had abandoned him. "What have ya done to my Fayard?" she then asked him. "Fay's just a boy, ya asshole!" She was convinced that Rhys had done something to him and she wasn't about to say who his father was. This man was a stranger and now, by his words, likely a kidnapper. [@FantasyChic]: Jezebel nodded, a bit reassured at Fleur's words but not quite convinced. She left the room, going to get Bernice and Bernice came back some moments later, tending to Constance. It seemed that Constance just needed to sleep for the moment. Fleur, if she wanted to, could do just about anything at the moment - yet she certainly won't feel like she wants to do much of anything, with the progression of her illness. At least things are calm otherwise. No one is bringing her any reports of impending doom for the Coven - yet.

She was a true believer that one never ceased to learn lessons - education and the pursuit of knowledge was a lifelong task. Had this been another time, another century, she likely would have been a devout follower of the goddess Minerva - if not Trivia. And had she been born in the Land of Long Nights, Odin would have been a fitting patron. [color=#9B30FF]"What lesson will we learn in the Forest? Well..."[/color] Arya closed the distance between them, bitting his bottom lip lightly. [color=#9B30FF]"Beyond learning if these herbs may be of any use from the [b]Physik[/b] women, the Forest holds as many mysteries as it does dangers...Rumors of portals to other lands entirely...I am certain we can think of something to learn."[/color] She then kissed him again, her eyes closing slightly. The morning tea and its slight remedies were keeping her headache down at a dull ache. Kissing Cuyler was one of her methods of self medicating and proved to distract her from it. She slipped her arms around his waist, running her fingers delicately on his clothed skin. She was not afraid of the Forest and it was almost the Summer Solstice - the nights were growing shorter each day and the Forest was only to be feared in the dark. She did not imagine that Fleur's Coven would be in the Forest, meaning only those rogue witches would be found. [color=#9B30FF]"Perhaps after we visit the [b]Physik[/b] women, we can perform certain acts together...I imagine Atkin will be some time with the other apprentices. They've already started preparing for the Sled Race."[/color] It was a tradition at the Castle. Each winter, all of those institutions with apprentices would select one to race a sled in a race. Wizard Tower and the Manuscriptorium tended to be the winners, locked in a constant struggle. The Boatyard, of course, also was respectable. And then there were the odd participants, such as the Dead Language's shop or Wizard Sandwiches. [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=#FF0000]Myrus Silvers[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/T1TRt3W8/tumblr_n7gcnq_FIp_Z1tyb6r8o3_500.gif[/img][hr][color=#FF0000][b]Location:[/b][/color] the Palace - Attic [/center][hr] Myrus freaked out, muttering a quick prayer to the goddess Runa under his breath. She was supposed to be a protective goddess for lost souls and he certainly felt that he met that description as of late. [color=#FF0000]"Baldur's daughter, granddaughter of the eternal flame, and mistress of lies...Help guide me in this perilous time,"[/color] he whispered. He quickly pulled down his sleeve and put his red cloak back on, but the bleeding was too severe to be properly hidden from Valda and she had inadvertently cut off his exit. [color=#FF0000]"H-h-hey Valda..."[/color] Myrus said, putting his arm behind his back yet underneath his cloak, in an attempt to hide it. He stayed back in the dark part of the attic, trying to limit Valda's view of him. He hadn't anticipated that his sister would come up into the attic looking for him. Truthfully, he didn't know that Valda even [i]knew[/i] where the attic was at the Palace. She hadn't lived there relatively long and he had assumed it was a safe hiding spot, especially since it was filled with cobwebs that he was certain would terrify Luna. [i]"Valda..."[/i] a ghostly voice then whispered in the Queen's ear. [i]"Myrus..."[/i] the voice then whispered in Myrus' ear and he shuddered, but he couldn't see anywhere there. He just felt as if an immense cold draft had blown into the attic. [i]"Stay safe, little ones..."[/i][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=#cc33ff]Antonije Magnisky[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/j50qJXxS/LDZC.gif[/img][hr][color=#cc33ff][b]Location:[/b][/color] Number 40 Alchemie Way - the Basement ---> Living Room[/center][hr] Antonije was just laughing, looking at his little princess that couldn't handle the cold. [color=#cc33ff]"Alright, мала принцеза,"[/color] he said with a smirk. He was used to people telling him that he was mean and he figured that Sylvi was just teasing him - and he did quite enjoy teasing her. However, he got the sense that Myth would be irritated if he didn't get out of bed soon. [color=#cc33ff]"Stay down here if you want, Silvija, but I'm going upstairs."[/color] He had gotten himself dressed and wasn't currently shivering under a blanket, before he flashed her a charming smile and headed for the attic stairs. He emerged upstairs and was able to catch the second half of Myth's conversation with Bruce, noticing that his sisters had gone back to play with their devices. [color=#cc33ff]"Yeah, Tetka?"[/color] he asked Myth, avoiding looking at Bruce. [color=#cc33ff]"And shouldn't he be the one getting things ready? No offense, but you look about ready to pop and he's a freaking god."[/color] [color=7ea7d8]"You are getting a bit fat, Mama,"[/color] Marya informed Myth. Myth's morning sickness would now be feeling pretty severe - (post needs to reflect this) - and she'll want to likely sit down or lie on the floor and curl up or [i]something.[/i] Either way, Bruce is going to be having to handle the housework for the moment. [hr][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/K8cWbHkD/22442948.gif[/img][hr][h3][color=ed145b][b]The Sea: The [i]Aricie[/i] - Nearing the Port[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr] The [i]Aricie[/i] was a vessel crafted in the [i]Lagoon[/i], earning coin for its owners by shuttling passengers all around the world. It primarily made the long trip from the Land of Long Nights all the way down to the the Southern Islands of the Many Shining Seas (what we would call Jamaica today). Along the way, it made stops in the Lost Land, the Lagoon, the Small Wet Country Across the Sea, the True North, and the Big Wild Land Over the Ocean to name a few. On the ship, there was an assortment of people. Some had gone to see the sights in one of the countries along the way. Some were dignitaries going to have diplomatic appointments yet were not important enough to receive a private vessel. On the top deck, people were milling around, minding their own business, and a young individual with short blonde hair stood gazing out across the sea. The port was beginning to come into view and they could not help but be excited. [url=https://cn.best-wallpaper.net/wallpaper/iphone/1712/Clara-Paget-Black-Sails_iphone_1080x1920.jpg]The ship's captain[/url] walked up to the girl, tapping her on the back. [color=0099cc]"Aye, lass? Ya never been to England - I mean, the Small Wet Country before, now have ya?"[/color]
