A cold wind then rushed through the premises, enough to leave a near permanent chill in the bones of the four living guests. The dirt and dust on the ground started to swirl, becoming airborne as it rushed down the darkly lit hallway and out of sight. At the top of the stairs, a door flung open - the door to Malekith's room - and termites scurried in fright. [color=B8675D]"Don't be scared,"[/color] Minerva told her companions. She then glanced back at Grimspound. [color=B8675D]"Some secrets are not meant for mortal ears,"[/color] she told him. She then walked up the stairs without fear. [color=B8675D]"The бесконачни камен...It's a brilliant jewel - emerald, in fact. There's several of them, but the one that belongs to Nera Hawthorn - or belonged - has been in her family since before the world was remade..."[/color] [i][color=7bcdc8]"Originally entrusted to my ancestor, the Supreme called Stephen Strange,"[/color][/i] a voice whispered from a nearby room. [@LadyRunic]: "Oh I am so sorry if my way of speakin' offends ya, your majesty," Esmeralda said with an eye roll. She then nodded, pulling out a few ingredients of her own. She combined them and some of Rhys' things into a powdery mixture and made a circle on the floor, placing the locks of hair in the middle. Once that was done, she then joined hands with Rhys and waited for him to be ready, before she started to chant with him in unison. Esmeralda coughed slightly, yet the locks of hair started to float up into the middle between them. A few moments passed before the locks began to burn and once they drifted to the ground, the ashes spelled out a single word: [i][b]QUESTE[/b][/i]. As an ex-Ordinary Wizard, Rhys would know that the [b]Queste[/b] was a perilous journey that the ExtraOrdinary Apprentice underwent in search of some forbidden or lost knowledge. Very few survived. "That mean anything to ya?"

She had a reputation to maintain and if her Ordinaries did not respect her, no one in the Castle soon would. However, it was his next words that took Arya's breath away - quite literally - and caused Rainbrook to awkwardly stumble a few steps back down the stairs and away from the 20th Floor. [color=9B30FF]"Cuyler..."[/color] Arya whispered. She hadn't expected to be proposed to in such a manner - but he had referred to himself as her [i]husband[/i]. Perhaps that was how such things worked in the Land of Long Nights? She had never asked Cuyler about the marriage rites of his culture and she only knew so much from helping Myth to organize her wedding. Of course, she didn't imagine that a proposal involved an interruption to speak in New Nordic with Rainbrook, but... Did she wish to marry this man? She had entrusted him with her amulet, with her [b]Magyk[/b] and all of the power of an ExtraOrdinary Wizard. They had not been dating for too long - just a little under half a year - yet she knew that she loved him dearly. It was all so soon - yet did she imagine that her feelings for him would change? No, it didn't seem likely at all. And with the [b]Sickenesse[/b] killing her, they did not have much time left... [color=9B30FF]"I accept your proposal - I love you and would be glad to marry you,"[/color] she told him softly, her cheeks burning and she couldn't help but smile at him. [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 - First Floor by the Staircase to the Attic [/center][hr] Myrus wanted desperately to believe Luna, but he knew that it wasn't true. She was going to become queen of another nation. She would [i]have[/i] to leave her family behind. It was the way of the spares - eventually, he would likely be married off for some alliance or another as well, even if it wasn't by Valda's design. As Skaoi hugged him, his powers were negated and the mysterious energy surrounding his hands vanished. He believed Skaoi as she promised that she wouldn't leave. Lyra's demotion reminded Myrus of his departed mother. Whereas Valda was generally informal and carefree, Queen Meliscente had been the opposite. If anyone talked to her like that, they would have been at least exiled from the Castle or tossed into the dungeons. He couldn't help but feel relieved that Lyra's punishment was just demotion - but at the same time, he was worried for Valda. He hadn't seen her actually use her power as Queen like that before. He nodded, as Amarantha explained her actions. He noticed every little flinch Lyra had as someone touched him - the look of apprehension in Amarantha's eyes. [color=#FF0000]"I'm a monster - that's the truth. Do you think I don't see how terrified you are of me? Of what I might do?"[/color] Myrus asked, his hands trembling. [color=#FF0000]"Then do to me what all heroes do to monsters."[/color] [color=8882be]"You are not a monster Myrus..."[/color] Myrus shook his head. [color=#FF0000]"Don't tell lies,"[/color] he whispered. He then broke off at a run, aided by the niffler comically getting in the way of Skaoi for a moment. [color=8882be]"Myrus!"[/color] Valda wanted to stop Myrus, but she wasn't sure she'd be able to catch up to him easily since he had a head start. She knew that it was a risky move, but she didn't care, as she casted a spell on Myrus, causing him to fall asleep. Luckily he didn't hit his head, she was a bit worried that he would have gotten hurt, and let out a sigh of relief, and she didn't feel too badly either.[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] Runa bit her lip slightly. She was a goddess and while Antonije's mental projection was formidable, her mind was ancient and structured differently than that of a Midgardian. She could tell that the speedster twins were having difficulty with the rage. Their hands were vibrating from super fast motion and whenever Marya opened her mouth to speak, she was moving too quickly for the sound to be processed. Her husband had already fled the house - that much was understandable, he had a curse of sorts tied to anger that Myth did not need to be exposed to on her wedding day. [color=#a81a75]"Bruce, if you are not going to protect your fiancée from the psychic projection then I will,"[/color] Runa said. She pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment, before she moved her hand through the air as if guiding a water current and stomped her foot slightly. A glowing black sigil appeared on the ground beneath her feet. As she raised her hands up, the sigil surrounded her in the air and she stared at Antonije. [color=#a81a75]"Son of Radiša, Son of the House of Magnisky, [b][i]vær i fred[/i][/b],"[/color] Runa commanded, casting her spell. The swirling darkness that surrounded her rushed forward and hit Antonije. As if he had gotten sand in his eyes, Antonije started to blink and rub at his eyes rapidly, practically ignoring his girlfriend's presence. Runa then moved over to Myth. She moved her hand as if guiding the air currents around Myth and suddenly, there was a projection of Myth made out of energy suspended above her in the air. Details about Myth's health and the health of the baby were shown through various colorations and streams in the moving image. Being the Goddess of Lies, she had an excellent poker face. She waved her hand and the illusion dissolved. [color=#a81a75]"Myth, I would like to have my husband examine you - once he has dealt with a medical matter of his own. It's just a small check so that way you won't be worrying during wedding preparations."[/color] Antonije was looking at Sylvi with a bit of shock. His head felt clear, thanks to Runa's [b]Magyk[/b] - and it wasn't like [b]Magyk[/b] he had seen before. It seemed fundamentally different than what his sisters used or what the wizards were trained in. [color=#cc33ff]"Silvija...You love me?"[/color] Antonije asked, looking at her with confusion. He didn't know what to say to that. He was just...stunned.
