She turned to the little prince, seeing how much he had protested with the single prick of a needle. "Prince Tristan, if it only takes a slight prick for you to act in this manner, I do not doubt that the SnowPlains will easily win the war against your people," Becky said bluntly. Perhaps it was rash of her to talk like this - yet she had been in her trade for a while and never bothered to develop much of a bedside manner. "Fortify yourself, Prince Tristan. It would suit your position better." Becky then went over to Skaoi and finished helping her to clean up the mess. It wasn't the first time something was broken in the infirmary and she doubted it'd be the last. "Be calm, Skaoi," Becky advised her with a slight smile. "You are stronger than you realize." [@LadyRunic]: After Rhys secured his home through the use of [b]Magyk[/b], he'll begin to feel a headache form. As this headache sprouts, Esmeralda looked at him and sighed, shaking her head slightly. "It got you too?" she asked, though it really wasn't much of a question. She prided herself on her intuition. As Rhys asked, she stayed largely hidden as Rhys went to Fayard. The poor thing looked like a shadow of his former self, weakly drinking the water. "I'm...I'm alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic..." Fayard said, falling into an old Young Army response. The children tended to always say that, no matter what. His stomach started to ache like hell and Fayard groaned, turning slightly and spilling water on his face. [@FantasyChic]: Princess Meadow nodded, looking at Fleur with concern - likely faked. Most royals in this world would show feelings and emotions when it suited them. "I see - I had heard tale of some illness only afflicting those skilled with [b]Magyk[/b] - I do not know much of it, as such things do not happen in the Lagoon...But I had hoped that you would remain strong," the Princess continued. She fiddled with a ring on her hand and one of her attendants moved to whisper into her ear, only for Meadow to abruptly wave them off. "But this does not change what I have come here to propose. A poisoned tree cannot help but bear poisoned fruit," Meadow said, locking eyes with Fleur. "My aunt, the late Queen Meliscente, was positively toxic. It is time something be done to rectify the situation...Yet I fear this country would not accept me as their ruler. They are too used to [b]Magyk[/b]. I am proposing, Witch Messiah, to give you the use of the Royal Army of the Lagoon - to lay waste to the pretender to the throne and those who support her." "I ask that you install yourself as the ruler of this land, subject only to King Nicholas of the Lagoon."

She hadn't felt quite this tired in ages as she sat down, the tips of her fingers strangely cold. She continued to press the cloth against her nose, before her body went rigid all of the sudden and her back arched. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, as if someone else had come in to temporarily take control of her. [b][i]"THE QUESTE WILL SET THEM FREE!"[/i][/b] the strange voice boomed, before Arya collapsed into a coughing fit, unaware of what had happened. [color=#9B30FF]"I'm fine, Cuyler, not everything is a symptom of the [b]Sickenesse[/b],"[/color] she told him, avoiding his gaze slightly. [color=#9B30FF]"Besides, I would know if I had that unfortunate condition."[/color] Her hand then let go of the cloth and instead gripped onto her amulet for a moment, feeling the [b]Magyk[/b] that it contained. It spiritually felt like washing her face with clean water, yet it did very little to alleviate her symptoms. They were running out of time to come up with a solution. It had been months and nothing worked. [color=#9B30FF]"Now in a moment, we can leave..."[/color] Yet truthfully, Arya did not have much strength left. She kept thinking [i]get up, we need to leave[/i] but her body betrayed her. Every fiber of her being was telling her to sit down and continue to rest. The ExtraOrdinary Wizard was weak - she couldn't allow that to happen - and she forced herself to her feet with shaky legs. [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 was taking deep breaths, curled into a ball in the corner of the attic. He could hear the footsteps coming up the attic stairs before he saw people emerge. Every time he thought Valda was about to approach him, he shrunk away. He didn't want to hurt his sister. He didn't know if he could make living things explode but he wasn't about to find out. [color=#FF0000]"J-just stay away from me!"[/color] Myrus cried. There were no additional explosions - at least for the moment. His purple eyes seemed to be tinged with red as he looked wildly around, like a cornered and frightened animal. He then saw Luna come up into the attic, telling him to take deep breaths and he just sort of shook his head. He couldn't manage to catch his breath no matter what he did. And then, then he could hear Amarantha and Lyra coming to the attic. Why had the gods cursed him so? Why was [i]everyone[/i] coming to his hiding place now? [color=#FF0000]"G-g-g-go away or you'll get hurt!"[/color] Myrus squeaked out, before he buried his face in his knees. [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 still hadn't come home yet. It had been a little over a half an hour since they left. It would only be a cause for concern if they didn't come home in the next fifteen minutes. The last time they had been gone this long, they joined the Port Witch Coven - or a cult, as Bruce referred to it. However, there was a knock at the door. [i][color=#a81a75]"Brucey? I hope it's alright, we came early..."[/color] [/i] Antonije had pulled Sylvi in for a hug, kissing her forehead. [color=#cc33ff]"You're not a failure, Sylvija,"[/color] he told her, before he gave her forehead another kiss. He glanced at the door, hearing the voice call out and the knock, but he figured that he would let Bruce get it. His family wasn't supposed to get there until noon but he supposed noon was close enough now - they were gods anyways. Gods didn't take it very well when you yelled at them for being early. [color=#cc33ff]"So...You want to hide from the gods or stay in plain sight?"[/color] Antonije asked Sylvi. [color=#cc33ff]"They are your gods, though,"[/color] he pointed out, referring to her culture. [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] Minerva looked at Arnora with curiosity. A Spirit-Seer...That could come in handy indeed on this trip to the abandoned Port Witch Coven Home. There was one ghost in particular that she wished to speak to. In her pocket, she fiddled slightly with an ornately decorated vial. It wasn't much in her style, but she had a feeling they would find it to be of use on the journey ahead. [color=B8675D]"Splendid. We should return with plenty of time for any of you continuing on to board the [i]Aricie[/i],"[/color] Minerva said, giving Ahote a smile. She rolled her eyes slightly as Grimspound, seeing that he was essentially trying to get laid. Yet Ahote's words rung true. The ship was slightly less high up in the water than it had been moments before. Fortunately, they were almost at Port. Just another fifteen minutes of sailing and they would be able to dock. Minerva couldn't help but be slightly amused at the entire situation, noticing as the crew seemed to go into a frenzy around them. [color=B8675D]"Seems serious,"[/color] she mused, jumping up onto a barrel so she could get a better look around.
