Who knew? The little demonic pixie had parted ways with them after the tavern, going to investigate a potential lead on her own. However, that is neither here nor there. As Grimspound moves through the crowd and grabbed onto the young wizard, the wizard looked up at him gratefully. The M on his face looked gruesome, though [b]Magyk[/b] would likely be able to at least reduce it to a faded scar. However, since the crowd had been enjoying this and now Grimspound was in the middle of it, they looked at him curiously. Was he here to escalate the violence? Or was he intending on defending the kid? One of them spotted Grimspound's emerald green eyes. "He's one of 'em!" they shouted, igniting the crowd again into a fury. "Go back to where ye came from! Ye ain't welcome here!" another screamed. They started pelting him with rocks, a good number of them hitting the Dykri man. [@LadyRunic]: A few people are entering the Castle via the North Gate just like Rhys, however the South Gate tends to be more commonly used. North Gate is typically used for going to and from the Forest or to head up to either the Badlands or the Farmlands. Many of those skilled in [b]Physik[/b] are currently using this gate and bridge, as they go to see those who live in the Forest and collect suggested remedies to try for the [b]Sickenesse[/b]. The easiest path to get to Wizard Tower from here would be to walk straight down Maker's Mile and hand a right once you can see the Palace. Walk to the Palace gates and then turn onto Wizard Way. Of course, the quickest route would be to turn off of Maker's Mile earlier and take a series of back alleys and end up on Wizard Way. To each their own! Chthon, of course, was getting hungrier by the second. The more Rhys fed him, the quicker the energy seemed to be used up.[i] "I am an Elder God. What do you take me for, a puny Asgardian?!"[/i] Chthon scolded. [@LadyRunic][@mnkee]: While the infirmary is already busy, a little girl with toy fairy wings on ran inside. She looked around, a bit of urine trailing after her as the poor little thing had had to go potty and Cuyler didn't take her! The little girl had hawkish little eyes and instantly zeroed in on Lyra. "Hey, hey listen! Hey you!" she said, jumping up and down next to her and running around in circles. "Why aren't you listening to me? HEY, HEY LISTEN!" Navi continued to scream. "Amarantha says you have to help me get clean and changed!" [@FantasyChic]: The Scarlet Witch looked at her curiously, titling her head. She was from a distant time in comparison to Fleur - by about ten thousand years, give or take a few centuries. "I am Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. I came to the Witch's Road to discover what is making magic sick in my own time... I cannot help but wonder if our problems are connected." The Scarlet Witch then gestured to the side of the road. Fleur would be able to see modern day society, with magic mutating and changing, as if infected by some sort of dark energy. The Scarlet Witch had traveled to the ancient lands, where magic began, and had been attempting to relieve symptoms. It was taking a toll on her soul, however, as all magic came with a price and Wanda was using her own life force. Of course, her magic and Fleur's [b]Magyk[/b] are not quite the same, but close enough. The two types are practically siblings.

Even though Valda wasn't really the sort to get fussy over manners and protocol like that, it was a force of habit. A good portion of the work of the ExtraOrdinary Wizard was in helping to manage relations between Wizard Tower and the rest of the Castle - now more than ever, due to the wicked [b]Sickenesse[/b]. [color=9B30FF]"...I am fine, my Queen,"[/color] Arya said. It was dishonest but she did not want to trouble the Queen with personal plights. "Queen Valda, it is always a joy to see you," Rowland said kindly. "I hope that you are faring well - though Arya here is ill, I'm afraid. And she will not admit it without a struggle." He then chuckled slightly and Arya shot Rowland a bit of a look. [color=9B30FF]"I am capable of speaking for myself, Rowland,"[/color] Arya reminded him. She hadn't been able to find any books that were terribly helpful so far in the Palace Library. She supposed it was to be expected. The Manuscriptorium would have the largest collection - yet she was hopeful that the Palace would at least have some volumes that the Pyramid Library itself lacked. "Oh trust me, I know that," Rowland replied, chuckling still. "Your Majesty, if you are ever come to Wizard Tower for a feast day, it is a treat to watch Arya thoroughly shut down the Ordinary Wizards who bait her." Arya sighed a bit. [color=9B30FF]"You are terrible..."[/color] she muttered, before she spotted Cuyler come into the room. There was a faint smell of urine in the air. Her emerald eyes glanced at him for a moment before she returned her attention to Queen Valda. She wasn't ready for this conversation.[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=ff0000]Myrus Silvers [/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/s27zHxn5/tumblr-mbvs6xtddl1qat9xro1-500.gif[/img][hr][color=ff0000][b]Location:[/b][/color] The Palace Boat Launch[/center][hr] Myrus was a little bit startled, having not seen Luna walk up to him. It was fortunate however that he wasn't an imbecile and he didn't fall into the water as he scrambled to his feet and turned around to look at his sister. Guilt went through him. He should have done more for Luna, instead of secluding himself away. Valda's return had changed Luna's life and her future - she would not be Queen of the Castle most likely. [color=ff0000]"Oh, um... Y-yeah, we can talk,"[/color] Myrus stammered. [color=ff0000]"But Luna, er... I... I feel like I've been a complete and utter butthole lately... I'm really sorry that..."[/color] he then shook his head slightly and looked down, not entirely certain of how to finish the phrase. He then peeked up at his sister again, his eyes that were once violet were now red. Yet while in most that would have been a demonic and cool shade, it seemed gentle and kind in Myrus' face. [color=ff0000]"So um... What is it you wanted to tell me?"[/color] he asked her. He couldn't help but wonder if Luna had considered that there were options for her other than ruling a country one day. She didn't have to marry into another family or wait for Valda to abdicate the throne or die. Her life could be filled with so much more...[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=#cc33ff]Antonije Magnisky[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/8zCBbrzn/giphy.gif[/img][hr][color=#cc33ff][b]Location:[/b][/color] Wizard Tower - the Great Hall[/center][hr] In what was sadly turning into a bit of a pattern, Antonije was just staring at Sylvi, dumbstruck. Her [b]Bardic Magyk[/b] and music had put him under her spell once more and he was powerless to stop it. Just as Cuyler had been helpless when Klara forced him to kiss Arya, so was Antonije now as he reached out and touched Sylvi's cheek. A shiver went down his entire body and his pupils dilated. Marya and Medea had gotten up from the ground now, both of them back to health yet still with the [b]Sickenesse[/b] in their veins. [color=7ea7d8]"Why aren't you green?"[/color] Marya asked Lance, her voice heavily accented. [color=A6C1C3]"Yeah! Why not?"[/color] Medea said, poking him slightly. Marya approved of her twin's idea and she started poking Lance as well and laughing her silly little head off. [color=7ea7d8]"Turn green for us!"[/color] With Myth, Runa gave her a gentle smile and grabbed a cloth, aiding the bard in wiping away her tears. [color=#a81a75]"I am sure your father is smiling down at you from Valhalla,"[/color] she reassured her future daughter in law. Runa's parents and Lance's father were both running a little late. She would have expected them to show up already for the wedding, but there was still plenty of time for them to arrive. [color=6ecff6]"Don't worry, I'd cry too if I was marrying Brucey and carrying his baby, yuck,"[/color] Astrid said with a smirk. Halley just shook her head slightly at her sister. And back in the Great Hall, Antonije suddenly grabbed Sylvi tightly and picked her up, holding her incredibly close to him. His eyes looked a little wild and crazy, as if threatening anyone to get in between him and his 'mate.'
