Wizard Way is always crowded and bustling, so it's the ideal place to vanish into the crowd. Whoever it is, they do [i]not[/i] want to be caught. Now, she can either pursue the figure further or return to the others. She won't have much time to make her choice. [@Nallore]: Luna will hear an explosion from upstairs and will be able to reach her siblings (see Myrus' post) [@KazAlkemi][@LadyRunic][@mnkee]: Tristan will no longer have the poison within his system, thanks to Skaoi's treatments. Amarantha will have recovered as well. Becky was quiet for a moment, before she looked at Tristan. "He was the target," she said confidently. "I have to imagine the poisoning of you, dear, was an accident," she told Amarantha. "As for who would want Prince Tristan dead..." Becky didn't think she needed to finish that thought. [@LadyRunic]: Esmeralda laughed at Rhys. "[i]You[/i] would have seen that I had all I desired?" she asked, shaking her head at him. She reached into a jar and grabbed a handful of what seemed to be fertile red soil and she let it fall through her hands, back into the bowl. With the remnants that clung to her skin, she drew a mark on the palm of her hand - a [b]Witchy[/b] equivalent of a wizard's [b]SafeCharm[/b]. "I don't need [i]anything[/i] that ya got, ya sick bastard," she added. "Ain't no man is gonna determine my fate for me. Now you're goin' to bring me to my boy and let me heal him. Ya ain't got a clue what you're doin'." [@FantasyChic]: "Do as the Witch Messiah asked," Princess Meadow said. Her mounted guard dismounted and she was assisted from her horse, having been riding it in the outdated style of side saddle - but customs such as that still persisted in the Lagoon. She took off her riding cloak and handed it to an attendant, before she headed inside as Fleur had indicated. "Before we begin discussion, I have brought you a gift," Princess Meadow said. She made a curious hand gesture at one of the attendants and they brought forth a dazzling rose quartz necklace, the chain made of pure gold. "I am told that this necklace belonged to a powerful seer of ancient times...But to business. I believe that we have common enemies - the Half Witch Queen of the Castle. Perhaps it is time we helped each other in order to achieve our ends."

It would mean doubling the time to get to the specific portion of the Forest where the [b]Physik[/b] women lived. She also was a bit of an impatient person. It created just enough that she convinced herself one small act of [b]Magyk[/b] couldn't hurt - and that as ExtraOrdinary Wizard, she needed to keep up appearances at any rate. [color=#9B30FF]"No need, I'll have the bow [b]Brought[/b] here,"[/color] Arya told Cuyler. She closed her eyes slightly and whispered the incantation, a purple haze gathering around her hands until Cuyler's bow appeared in them. Arya relaxed, relieved that she had not succumbed further to the [b]Sickenesse[/b], yet she felt something drip from her nose and she lifted her hand to reveal blood. Her abdomen then started to ache, reminiscent of the pain from an extreme period. [color=#9B30FF]"...To the Forest, then,"[/color] Arya said, blood still slowly flowing from her nose. [color=#9B30FF]"I'm fine. I have gotten nosebleeds ever since I was a little girl."[/color] It was technically not a lie. She did have nosebleeds when she was younger and overextended her [b]Magyk[/b] - once or twice.

He didn't know what to say to her - or if he could even put into words the emotions he was having. He went to grab a small chalice he had brought up there with him a few days prior, in order to clean it and give it back to the kitchen staff, but it glowed a reddish pink and then promptly exploded. And while Myrus was the source of the explosions, he was not immune to them in the slightest. He swayed slightly on his feet and fell to the ground, hitting a crate that began to have the similar glow and his eyes had tears streaming from them as he tried to scoot away from it, only for the crate to explode as well. His face was covered in what seemed to be ash and soot. His fine clothes were damaged and he had mild burns on his skin. [color=#FF0000]"I-I-I c-c-can't make it stop..."[/color] Myrus said, his entire body shaking and his hands seemed to be surrounded with that very same glow as well.[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 - Living Room[/center][hr] Marya and Medea were running around the Castle, managing to not have any issues or problems for the moment. Myth had gotten lucky as well and as suddenly as the bout of morning sickness had come on, it was gone. It was fortunate too - there was little more than an hour now until Bruce's family would arrive. Antonije then went and sat down on the couch, thinking for a moment. [color=#cc33ff]"Silvija...What are you afraid of?"[/color] he asked her, moving over so she could sit next to him if she chose to, but he wasn't pressuring her to be close to him or anything. He wanted her to make her own decisions - though he certainly had the capability to mess with her mind if he really wanted to do so. [color=#cc33ff]"Tetka...I think she's afraid of what her baby might turn out to be,"[/color] Antonije offered as an example. [color=#cc33ff]"My sisters...that they won't be able to run one day..."[/color] he continued, before his eyes fell on Sylvia.

She could make out the Port in the distance and she was looking forward to a respite from days at sea. It would be nice to have solid ground beneath her feet - and at any rate, she has some errands she was thinking of making while in the small society as well. She was fairly well off, coming from a powerful family lineage. [color=B8675D]"One of these days, those books will be your undoing,"[/color] Minerva pointed out. She didn't care to specify exactly how. She then glanced at Arnora, giving her a slight smile as she considered her question. [color=B8675D]"I heard rumors of a haunted establishment that the dreaded Fleur La Mallificum inhabited - it could be interesting to examine the house."[/color] She then glanced back at Ahote, giving the taller man a smile. [color=B8675D]"Perhaps you all would care to join me? I wouldn't imagine it'd interest you Grimspound - there won't be any new or exciting texts there I imagine."[/color] Deep below, in the lowest deck, there were ten inches of water. Harlianne looked at it for a moment, her boots glistening now from the water they had touched. Her ship was sinking. [color=0099cc]"Aw, fuck me."[/color]
