She bit her lip slightly, looking at her husband and feeling awful for him. While his father was still alive, everyone else he knew and loved was gone. [color=#a81a75]"Lance..."[/color] Runa said softly, putting a hand on his shoulder. [color=#a81a75]"I'd like to speak to you about something..."[/color]

	[color=B0FF00]"What is it Runa?"[/color] he asked her, looking at her with a smile.

	[color=#a81a75]"What would you think about having children?"[/color] 

	[color=B0FF00]"I wouldn't be at all against it... Why do you ask?"[/color]

	Runa led him over to the bed, sitting on it. Her feet didn't touch the ground - something that amused her slightly since Lance's did easily. [color=#a81a75]"Well, I know I've always wanted children... And you've lost so much family..."[/color]

	[color=B0FF00]"Runa, I'd love to start a new family with you... Yeah, I've lost people over the years, but as long as I'm with you, I couldn't be happier."[/color]

	She smiled at him, reaching out and taking his hand. [color=#a81a75]"We'll have to ask the All-Father for permission... It's annoying but since you're... complicated biologically and so am I, if we had kids... They could be extremely powerful."[/color]

	[color=B0FF00]"Yeah, we probably should... Since who knows how strong those kids could be..."[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"So you really like the idea of having kids?"[/color] Runa asked. [color=#a81a75]"Since I know you miss Guin and all... Maybe this will help..."[/color]

	[color=B0FF00]"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with the idea,"[/color] he said still smiling at her.

	Runa grinned at him. She then pulled him down onto the bed and kissed him, waving her hands slightly and the curtains in the room closed and the door locked. [hr]	A while later, Lance was heading with Runa towards the All-Father's palace. He wasn't too thrilled at the idea that they even really needed to talk to Thor about this sort of thing, but it couldn't be helped. [color=B0FF00]"So... How do you think this conversation is going to go?"[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"...He'll probably say no..."[/color] Runa mumbled. 

	[color=B0FF00]"You don't know that Runa... I don't think that he would."[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"You are an optimist..."[/color] Runa said sadly, entering the Palace. Thor wasn't there however - he was off in Midgard for the day and had left Klara in charge of things while he was gone. 

	[color=B0FF00]"Looks like Thor isn't here..."[/color] Lance whispered to her. Klara was looking a little bored, not sure what she was really supposed to be doing, or what it is that she was supposed to be in charge of.

	Runa got an idea and she suddenly smirked. [color=#a81a75]"Okay, so that means Klara is in charge and if Klara says that we can have kids, then that's binding and I doubt her father will want to get into a fight with her... She's such a daddy's girl..."[/color] Runa mused. 

	[color=B0FF00]"...Not sure how Thor would feel about that,"[/color] he said with a slight chuckle at Runa's reaction to this. Klara looked over at the two, waving slightly with a smile. Runa shrugged, heading up to the throne where Klara sat and she took a knee, bowing to the temporary ruler of Asgard for the day. 

	[color=C646C5]"You don't have to do that Runa, so what brings you two over here?"[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"...Lance and I are planning to have children."[/color]

	[color=C646C5]"Oh you are?"[/color] Klara said with a smile, Lance nodded his head slightly at what Runa had said.

	[color=#a81a75]"We had come to ensure that the All-Father had no issue with it,"[/color] Runa added. 

	[color=C646C5]"Well, my father isn't exactly here at the moment."[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"Might you speak on his behalf, then?"[/color] Runa suggested. She knew it was manipulative of her but she didn't care. Even if Thor said no, she would just take Lance and his father and leave Asgard. They'd find a little planet of their own in another realm, another system. 

	[color=C646C5]"I don't know Runa... I didn't expect something like that when my father told me I was in charge for the day..."[/color]

	Runa clenched her hand for a moment. [color=#a81a75]"Klara... We will be good parents. Our children will be loved and they will not harm Asgard."[/color]

	[color=C646C5]"I know, I don't doubt that they won't harm Asgard, I don't see why you two couldn't have kids. I'm fine with the idea, even happy for the two of you."[/color]

	[color=#a81a75]"And should the All-Father protest?"[/color]

	[color=C646C5]"...I'll talk to him later when he gets back, I personally think it should be perfectly fine for the two of you to start a family of your own."[/color]

	Runa nodded, giving her cousin a smile. She saw a flash out of the corner of her eye and she glanced outside. It was Halley's comet. Klara returned Runa's smile, and Lance glanced outside to see what it was that Runa was looking at. [color=#a81a75]"Halley's comet,"[/color] Runa explained to her husband softly. 

	[color=B0FF00]"I know... Halley's Comet would pass by on Earth on occasion..."[/color] he said with a smile.

	She just smiled, looking up at it. It was beautiful and she felt that it was a sign. 

	[color=B0FF00]"I love you Runa..."[/color][hr][center][h3][color=ed145b][b]Asgard: May 11th, 12,508 - 6:45 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr]	Runa gave Arnora a smile. She was wondering where her son and future daughter in law were, though she was practically positive it would be looking in on the sweet little newborn baby boy. [color=#a81a75]"All the family members are assembled in the Great Hall already,"[/color] she explained quietly, careful in case her voice carried. It reminded her of when she was little and she and Klara were hiding from Runa's older brother, Forseti, in these same halls. It felt like a lifetime ago. [color=#a81a75]"If you would not mind helping me to locate Cuyler, that would be appreciated,"[/color] Runa told Arnora. It was as much a request for aid as it was a slight test of Arnora's skills. 

	Meanwhile, in the nursery, the baby was fast asleep, unaware that his parents were present. The little flying puppy that Astrid had gotten them as a wedding gift was flying around the room, ready to attack anyone who dared to harm his young charge.[hr][center][h3][color=ed145b][b]The Castle: May 11th, 12,508 - 5:45 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][@KazAlkemi][@eclecticwitch]: At the Palace barracks... 

	Baby Dawn was crawling around, giggling happily and making incoherent baby babble. None of it seemed to be an untapped power or some sort of forbidden knowledge. The little baby was just that - an infant. However, Baby Dawn suddenly stopped, tilting her head and glancing at someone who appeared to come out of nowhere behind Amarantha and Mona. She had straight black hair, with a silky texture to it. Around her neck, there was a vial that appeared to contain crushed lapis lazuli stone. [url=https://i.postimg.cc/cL5LwBm6/giphy.gif]The woman smiled - the very same woman whom Skaoi had seen at the Manuscriptorium the night the ExtraOrdinary Wizard died[/url]. "The babe does not, but fortunately for you, I do," the woman introduced herself, holding out a gloved hand to either woman, whomever would care to take it. "I believe you two have been looking for me - I'm Apollodora Rincewind," she introduced. Although she wore a small mask on her face, Amarantha would be able to see her ice blue eyes. 

[@FantasyChic]: Over in the Badlands, far from the Castle itself.... 

	Constance and Bernice nodded, hearing Fleur's instructions. It was primarily just them at the moment, as well as a few other chosen few. They'd then pass on the information to the rest of the Coven, once a concrete plan had been decided upon. For the moment, they had been training without a plan - just using words and motivation to sustain themselves, without an idea of what they may face or what their objective would be. "And what is your plan?" Constance asked Fleur. There was no sarcasm or malice in her tone. She was simply requesting information. 

	"And how would you like us to enact it?" Bernice added, eager to get on with it. She wanted to spill precious Valda's blood on the ground and dedicate the Castle to its new ruler - the Witch Messiah! However, they were soon interrupted as Elysium Crow, the warlock from before, entered the space. He gave a slight curtsey to Fleur. 

	"The spies placed within the Palace's staff are reporting that the young prince is going mad with fear that you will strike imminently," he explained. "However, they also have brought interesting news... Prince Tristan left the Castle. There will be no marriage with Princess Luna."

	"Meaning that the Castle will be caught in a war between the Land of Long Nights and Eastern SnowPlains," Constance concluded with a grimace. 

	Elysium nodded. "Precisely. The Castle is due to hold the Saecular Games in the fall as well - perhaps then would be the ideal moment for your plans, Witch Messiah," he advised.

[color=ff0000][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A[hr][hr][/center]	Myrus nodded, looking at his sister Luna and he gave her a slight smile. He wanted to find a cure for the mental ailment, but he knew that they needed to focus on Fleur. Once that problem was dealt with, he could save Luna again. All he wanted was for his family to be happy and safe. He had been given these gifts for a reason, he thought as he glanced down at his hands. This had to be the noblest purpose he could think of putting them towards - the defense of his family. [color=ff0000]"Fleur is going to be expecting we use [b]Magyk[/b] against her,"[/color] Myrus explained softly. [color=ff0000]"And we can, but... I think that we need to use machines too."[/color] He glanced over at Ahote for a moment, wondering what he was thinking - if he thought the idea was horrible or not. 

	[color=ff0000]"Witches are used to fighting against other witches with [b]Magyk[/b] so... why fight Fleur on her terms?"[/color] he explained, his ears turning red and he rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit awkward. He wished Amarantha had been at the table - she knew someone who was skilled with machines. Myrus was pretty certain the guy he had in mind, the inventor, was friends with Luna as well. Maybe Luna would be able to send him a message rat and get him to come. Myrus then looked at Valda, swallowing a bit. He didn't like thinking about his sister's past as a Wendron Witch. [color=ff0000]"But um... Valda... You're going to need to let us practice... fighting you,"[/color] he finished softly. She was the closest thing they had to a Fleur simulation. 

	[color=ff0000]"If we can trick you... then we can trick Fleur."[/color]
