They changed their targets, throwing rocks at her. Luck was not on their side, as Arnora would manage to easily freeze them, their torsos and legs encased in ice. "It's Halley!" one of them from the Land of Long Nights cursed. Some of them looked at Ahote, taking in his words and if they could have walked off to disperse, they would have. Ahote would be able to notice the subtle shift in auras. His words had compelled them - a few, but it was enough that the crowd's tension was gone. The young wizard with the M looked up at Arnora in wonder. "...Are you a seraphim?" he asked her. The poor thing was dazed, seemingly having a concussion as well as his other injuries. However, he didn't have much time for Grimspound paused the rocks telekinetically and redirected them, turning into a dragon and scooping him up. The young wizard fainted, as did a fair number of people in the crowd. "It's a bleemin' dragon!" [@LadyRunic]: Chthon apparently decided that he was going to attempt to be helpful. [i]"They think themselves to be gods - but they are nothing more than the children of real gods,"[/i] he explained. Rhys would have no problem making it to Wizard Tower and the doors were open. A few wizards were welcoming people as they came inside, directing them towards where the wedding itself would be happening. Most were incredibly early still - just close friends and family of the happy couple. However, that didn't mean Rhys couldn't go and grab a seat early himself. [@LadyRunic][@mnkee]: Becky glanced over and chuckled slightly. "Good evening to you too, Miss Navi," she said, addressing the child. Navi stuck her tongue out at Becky and blew a raspberry. "Your brother is here!" Navi then proudly announced and Becky couldn't help but smile slightly. How Navi knew that Rowland was there was behind her, but she did enjoy any chance to go see her brother. They were rather close. Navi then returned her attention to Lyra. She looked at Lyra suspiciously. "That's dumb. Amarantha is aaaamazing! She's like a fairy godmother of death!" Navi shrieked. She was so pleased with her own analogy that she started to do a little dance, only it also involved poking Lyra a lot. "So what are you supposed to be? Huh? Huh? Tell me, tell me, tell me! Hey tell meeee!" Navi then looked at Skaoi and shrugged. "Amarantha said to come here!" [@FantasyChic]: Wanda nodded slightly at Fleur. She had her own suspicions about what was poisoning [b]Magyk[/b] across time and space. "Forgive me, but I do not think a cure is what we need - I think we might have better luck battling the source," Wanda explained, looking at Fleur. "There's a legend in my time that if you walk the Witch's Road long enough, you will find what you need... If you would care to accompany me, I would appreciate it. Our combined strength should be plenty to defeat whatever this infestation is..."

He had come to apologize to her, but it felt strange to Arya. She was no master of psychology by any means but... it just didn't sit quite right with her. She could not help but note that Klara, the woman from before, was nowhere to be seen. She just hoped the woman had not broken Cuyler's heart. [color=9B30FF]"Cuyler, may we speak in private later?"[/color] Arya asked. It wasn't really a suggestion however - more of her telling him that she didn't want to talk about this right now. She needed time to collect her thoughts, to allow logic to win out over emotion. She couldn't help but feel a bit deflated when Queen Valda left the library. Now there was only Rowland there to act as a buffer. She didn't want to deal with this yet. Of course, she knew that he likely wanted to speak about this now but... Rowland seemed to understand Arya's hesitation. "We do have quite a lot of reading to do," Rowland agreed with his apprentice. [color=9B30FF]"Perhaps after the wedding ceremony at Wizard Tower..."[/color][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 hugged his sister back, his hands shaking slightly as he made contact with the back of her clothing. Klara's water therapy had helped him greatly however, as her cloak was not charged and there was no dangerous explosion. He was able to just be a teenage boy again, hugging his sister. It was so odd to think that just half a year ago, one of their largest problems to deal with was that Mavis Moll had dumped him. He then laughed slightly. Lyra never did give Mavis that book, did she? [color=ff0000]"Y-y-you're not marrying Tristan?"[/color] Myrus stammered, his eyes wide. However, Luna's next revelation caused Myrus to bite his lip and he hugged his sister tightly. Guilt washed over him that Luna had been dealing with this and hadn't had anyone to talk to about it. Tristan couldn't have really helped matters out. Dealing with a voice and being pressured to marry? A message rat then scurried up to the prince and princess, and once having confirmed Luna's identity, it recited: [i]"I wish to speak with her when she feels ready to. This alliance is very important to me and my kingdom. Many innocent people will die without it. I'm willing to make this work, if you are. I give you my word that I will remain loyal to you. Just please hear me out. End message."[/i] Myrus looked at Luna. He hoped that she wouldn't change her mind, but it was up to her. However, he took the bracelet he wore from the Land of Long Nights and he threw it into the water. [color=ff0000]"Let's find our own path... Together, like when we were kids. Tristan doesn't get to make decisions for us..."[/color][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] Marya sulked a bit, looking at Lance. What was the fun in someone who could turn into a scary green monster if they didn't, y'know, turn into a scary green monster? [color=7ea7d8]"Lame!"[/color] she scolded, before there was a gust of wind and Lance would find himself covered from head to toe in pink sparkly ribbons. They seemed to have been securely fastened to his clothing and Marya smirked, coughing up a bit of blood but in her mind, it was worth it. Poor Antonije... Whatever Sylvi did to him, the enchantment wasn't wearing off just yet. He looked at her, before he started walking off to where he had seen broom closets earlier. Glancing around, as if challenging anyone to stop him, Antonije set her down inside of the closet and started to barricade it, that way Sylvi couldn't get out and no one else could get in. It was clearly the safest place for her at the moment as far as his mind was concerned...[color=#cc33ff]"Stay,"[/color] Antonije told her gruffly from the other side of the door. Back with Myth, Runa nodded understandingly. [color=#a81a75]"The Magnisky line is... troubled,"[/color] she said softly. [color=#a81a75]"Just as they have extreme talents - typically in terms of swiftness or intellectual capacity - they are also marred with madness... I do not say this lightly or in an attempt to distress you, but you would be wise to keep an eye on the Magnisky siblings affairs. Violence comes naturally to them... even if they themselves are not yet aware of it."[/color] Astrid rolled her eyes at her mother. [color=6ecff6]"So negative!"[/color] she said, shaking her head. [color=6ecff6]"You know Mum, people said the same thing about you because of You-Know-Who,"[/color] she pointed out, referring to one of Runa's uncles. [color=ed145b]"Why am I the only sane one in my family..."[/color] Halley mumbled, shaking her head slightly before she nodded a bit at Myth's question. She gave Myth as best a breakdown as she could, starting with how the officiant would do the invocation to Thor, how she and Bruce would exchange swords, and then exchange rings. After the ceremony, the only thing Myth really needed to know was that Bruce would carry her over the threshold into the feasting hall. The other traditions either were for the groom or for the guests. [color=6ecff6]"I am never getting married,"[/color] Astrid said, wrinkling her nose.
