There are two doors near you - one of them is locked shut tightly and the other is slightly ajar. Through the open doorway, you can see what looks like a recently vacated bedroom, as if its previous occupant had just moved out earlier that day. Down the hallway are a set of spiral stairs that lead into a warm living room below. The fire is crackling and it is warm, cozy, and inviting. No one seems to be home. [@LadyRunic]: In the Manuscriptorium, most of the scribes seem to be dreadfully nervous. Their head, lovingly (and hatefully) called the CHS, has been on a bit of a rampage. The man only ever wears a mask due to a medical ailment without a cure, disfiguring his face since he was a child. One of the younger clerks, however, has worked up the courage to head on over to Skaoi. "Miss? Do you need assistance?" the young clerk asked softly. His uniform was several sizes too big and his face was a little sullen and thin, as if he was used to going regularly without food. [@LadyRunic]: As Rhys doubtless remembers from his time at Wizard Tower, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard resides on the 20th and 21st floors. The [b]Magykal[/b] staircase will take him only up to the 20th floor, at which point he will need to find a way to gain entry through the purple door. Typically, this is done by knocking and having the ExtraOrdinary Wizard greet you, allowing you to enter, but that most likely won't happen here. So... get creative! At any rate, Rhys is lucky and there aren't too many people using the stairs, so they are advancing upwards at a decent pace. The elder god within him stirs slightly as they ascend. [i]The Mistress of Chaos is here![/i] [@LadyRunic][@BlueSky44]: As Richard and Thalia walk, they'll spot Lyra with Navi walking down the corridor. Navi's voice is carrying: she is loud and excitable and also a bit of a know-it-all. Currently, the young child is listing off to Lyra all of the ways that it is possible to behead someone who has attacked you in your sleep. She is on way number twenty eight by the time that Richard is close enough to see her sparkly fairy wings. At least these ones are toys! [@FantasyChic]: Wanda laughed a bit sadly. "Oh, in my time I am considered to be a terrorist - they fight to imprison me, to restrict my powers... Some call for my head," she mused. "My brother does not understand. He thinks that we can live in peace with those who would destroy us." Wanda then managed to cause one of them to implode, using her red magic as a shield of sorts to keep the pus like guts from hitting herself and Fleur. She wrinkled her nose, nodding in agreement. "This is awful. Two left. One for each of us." [@FantasyChic]: Astrid looked like she was about to gag, seeing someone talk that way about her older brother. Halley, however, smiled as she found it cute. However, her smile faded in a moment. [color=ed145b]"Astrid, I need you to protect Myth,"[/color] she said calmly. Runa raised an eyebrow and Halley shook her head slightly. [color=ed145b]"Someone is here who shouldn't be... who can't be..."[/color] The Asgardian mutant looked a bit terrified, Halley's hands shaking slightly. [color=6ecff6]"Who? Apollo?"[/color] Astrid scoffed. Runa then paused for a moment, using her own [b]Magyk[/b] for a moment. Her skin then paled. [color=#a81a75]"Chthon - the Elder God of Chaos,"[/color] she whispered. [color=#a81a75]"Astrid, Halley, protect Myth. I will see to it that our unwelcome guest is removed. My son is getting married today and this changes nothing."[/color] [hider=Notes on the Wedding][b][i]When:[/i][/b] 8:30 PM - arrive by 8:15 PM on May 4th [b][i]Where:[/i][/b] Wizard Tower - Great Hall (First Floor) [b][i]Who:[/i][/b] Bruce Banner and Myth the Muse [b][i]Ceremony:[/i][/b][list][*]Invocation and Dedication to Thor, God of Thunder (goat) - [i]to summon the attention of the gods[/i] [*]Sword Presentation - [i]the groom must present his bride with a recently recovered sword of his ancestors[/i] [*]Second Sword Presentation - [i]the bride then gives the groom a sword that she had carried with her down the aisle.

She thought she had fallen in love with a man of principles, honor, compassion, and understanding. Yet now she knew why Rowland had been alone for all of those years, just as the ExtraOrdinary Wizard before him had been. No one could ever understand the vow that they made to the Castle and to its inhabitants. It pained her to hear that Cuyler did not think he was included - as if he did not breathe in the same air as the rest here, did not drink the same water, feel the same earth beneath his feet? He was just a man after all - conceited and selfish, having very nearly succeeded in trapping Arya. To think that she had given him her amulet! She had been about to break her vow! And what for? A man who she could hardly stand to look at now? A lover who could not respect her boundaries and wishes, who forced her into a conversation when she was not yet ready? She took the [url=https://i.postimg.cc/sgX1BsHN/loki_norse_mythology_inspired_fantasy_necklace_by_kafkavey-d8r.jpg]necklace[/url] from her neck that Cuyler had given to her. It was a simple location transfer spell and by [b]Magyk[/b], the necklace appeared in Cuyler's hand. [color=9B30FF]"Goodbye,"[/color] she said, not caring about her own health as she used [b]Magyk[/b] once more to [b]Transport[/b] herself back home. Her [b]Sickenesse[/b] did not progress by some miracle as she appeared outside and then entered Wizard Tower, tears falling down her face as the Floor greeted her.

Valda and Luna had never thought that he needed a bodyguard before. Even with everything that had happened, only the Queen and the Princess had gotten a personal guard. He was just the Prince after all. His only value to the throne was in his potential to marry a princess or noblewoman from another kingdom and bring about an alliance. If he were to die, no tears would be shed. Life would go on at the Castle. The dark thoughts caused Myrus to look down for a moment, his arm aching from the self inflicted wounds he had made earlier. For a moment, Myrus was shocked. He never would have contemplated doing something like this a year ago - how different his life had been then... His mother was still alive, his sister was sane and not being wooed by an ass, and he didn't have this strange curse. Valda was not forced to rule as Queen. [color=ff0000]"Sure, we can go - I'd love to go with you, Luna,"[/color] Myrus told her softly. [color=ff0000]"Will uh... Amarantha and Lennox be joining us?"[/color] Myrus said, before he looked up at the sky. It was almost sunset and the wedding was due to start at sunset. [color=ff0000]"We probably should get going, too."[/color]
