	As Mona continues to follow the trail, she will end up in front of the Palace. A long but short building, it has beautiful sloping green lawns in front of it. There are guards stationed at various points but she should be able to get to the entrance without much trouble. There is the Palace Boat Launch nearby as well, allowing access to the waters of the moat and a connection to the river, allowing ease of travel to various places in the Small Wet Country Across the Sea. Perhaps these stones have a connection to the Queen and the Royal Family? At any rate, the trail clearly continues inside of the Palace itself.

	[color=Olive]"I can never win with you,"[/color] Richard said, shaking his head at Runa. The Goddess of Lies was about to make a comment in return, only for Thalia's Trophy Husband to follow her back into the Great Hall. Runa relaxed slightly as he left. She never liked that man very much, even when they first met thousands of years ago - he reminded her too much of her uncle. 	

	[color=#a81a75]"Klara, we'll give you some privacy,"[/color] Runa told Klara, before taking her husband's arm and heading into the Great Hall as well. She had heard a commotion in there and she wanted to ensure that Bruce and his fiancée were unharmed. Her eyes flickered towards the entrance door as Ahote came inside, noting that the Floor did not display a single greeting. 

	It was mourning for Arya still.

	Banner paused for a moment, looking a bit like a student trying to remember a definition for a test, before it clicked in his mind what exactly [b]CradleSnatching[/b] was. He would have threatened the woman but she was [b]Magykal[/b] and that happened to be one of his weaknesses as the Hulk. "You haven't done anything to hurt or threaten my family - you've only helped. Until that changes, you're fine with me," Banner told Fleur honestly. Too many people were judged by past actions and if that was the case with her, he was happy to give her a fresh start and a second chance. 

	As Fleur left and came back with the towels, Banner got them properly assembled. "Okay, Myth, you're going to give a big push on the count of three," he told her calmly. She was ready to give birth. He hadn't been there for the birth of his sons - but he was happy to be there to see the birth of his great-grandson. "One... two... three - Push!" 

	Runa was hanging back slightly, there if she was going to be needed but not wanting to get into the way. She held Lance's hand tightly, smiling a bit. This was the birth of their very first grandchild - and hopefully not the last.

	Rainbrook didn't speak at first, despite Zekarra trying to calm him down. He would have hugged his best friend, but he knew there was a decent chance her father would try to kill him. Instead, he just looked at the ground, the pink still surrounding the iris of his eye. He took a shaky breath, trying his best not to [b]Charmspeak[/b] as he spoke to Zekarra. He hated that he had that ability and took measures to never, ever use it. 

	"My mother sent me here to save her... And I failed," Rainbrook finally said, before he kicked the ground in fury. His toe throbbed from kicking stone but he didn't care. "Apollodora won't be born... My baby sister is dead because of me... A-and who knows what my father will do," Rainbrook rubbed his eyes, trying to get the tears to stop. 

	"When you're little, y-you assume your parents are soulmates... B-but seeing them today... They weren't..." Rainbrook sobbed, his chest heaving. "I shouldn't be here, Zekarra..."

	Valda hadn't teleported them just anywhere in the Palace - she took them to the most secure location. It was the Queen's Room, the entrance way hidden and barred to all who were not blood relatives of the Queen. Myrus nodded meekly at Luna, taking deep breaths and trying to let the energy just leave his hands, rather than trap it there. He relaxed his shoulders unconsciously, unstuck his tongue from the roof of his mouth, and just breathed. 

	The glow went away. [color=ff0000]"I'm fine..."[/color] he then said. Everything had broken out into chaos at the wedding, not something that he had imagined for an event held at Wizard Tower. He couldn't help but have noticed that the ExtraOrdinary Wizard hadn't been present. That was never a good sign. [color=ff0000]"I-if Fleur is back... We need to run..."[/color] he said softly, looking at his siblings. [color=ff0000]"She won't stop until she's won..."[/color]

	He didn't want to find out what prize Fleur had in mind.
