She had the same vibrant ginger hair as her daughters, though her mannerisms and demeanor were far more similar to Luna's than Valda's. That much was to be expected of course - Luna had been raised in court like her mother had been, while Valda had been brought up in the Forest by the Wendron Witches. [i]"Valda, it is not appropriate to bring men into this place,"[/i] Queen Meliscente chided. [i]"Your brother would be one thing but these... these servants?! They're beneath you. And what would people think, knowing the company you keep?"[/i] Whether or not Ahote would be permitted to leave the room would ultimately be up to Titan, as he was guarding the only exit they knew about with a sword. Princess Luna would notice a slight draft in the room, but it wasn't coming from the door. No one else would, so maybe it's just a hallucination... But what could the draft be? Valda and Titan would have their eyes drawn to the Unstable Potions and Partikular Poisons cupboard. It had been there since before even Valda and Luna's grandmother could remember.

White text indicates a PC or claimed NPC. Blue text indicates a neutral/good NPC. Red text indicates an evil NPC (vampires in this case). Objects on this map are not necessarily to scale. [i]Note[/i]: -Oliver is the vampire that killed Mavis and initially attacked Myrus, and then bit Amarantha after Antonije tried to control it -Nyx is the second vampire to try to attack Myrus, only to get attacked by Sylvi -I'll be using the vampires names from now on, since they are now randomly generated and listed on the battle map![/hider] With Nyx's spinal cord severed, the vampire was having a few problems with walking. One of his feet seemed to drag slightly, but that didn't stop the creature from continuing to attack Sylvi. In an awkward forward tumble, Nyx clasped onto Sylvi with his hands and continued to tip forward. His teeth sank into the skin on her upper shoulder and he was about to begin to drain her of her blood, when there was a resounding scream inside of his head. [color=cc33ff][b][i]"NO!!!!!!!!!!!"[/i][/b][/color] Antonije covered the distance between them in a split second, pulling his [b]Fyre-Making Charm[/b] from his pocket and he shouted the incantation, lobbing it at the vampire. Nyx was set ablaze and let go of his grip on Sylvi, allowing Antonije to pull her away to safety as Nyx screamed in pain. He didn't know why, but the [b]Magykal Fyre[/b] caused the vampire to crumble into ashes, only the fangs remaining on the ground a moment later. [color=cc33ff][i]"Sylvi? Are you okay?"[/i][/color] Antonije asked her softly, using his telepathy to speak directly into her mind. [color=cc33ff][i]"I think a vampire bit you..."[/i][/color] Being carried by Lennox, Myrus was getting a pretty good view of all of the destruction going on. The Palace Guard had managed to get the civilians mostly clear, though there were still two pockets of them left at the Palace Grounds. There were dead guards on the grass as well, with only three of them left alive besides Amarantha and Lennox. [color=ff0000]"Th-there!"[/color] Myrus exclaimed, seeing Erasmus right in front of them. The vampire bared his fangs and hissed at Lennox. "I see you have delivered me a meal - thanks!" the creature taunted, pulling two back handed swords and sliding into a fighting stance. He wasn't close enough to strike Lennox yet and was more or less daring the guard to move forward. Moving backwards would put Lennox's precious cargo closer to the heart of all of this violence and chaos. As for Amarantha, she succeeded in dislocating Oliver's shoulder, but as she went in to sever his elbow joint, the vampire grabbed onto her tightly and used her momentum to bring them both to the ground. Amarantha was on top of the creature, his mouth stained with her blood and he grinned up at her. "You're one of us now, so [i]stop fighting[/i]," Oliver boasted. The bite mark on Amarantha's neck was completely gone, as if it had never been there. Her senses were heightened, as was her strength, and there would be an immense pain in her mouth - pain like she had rarely ever felt before. Coupled to that pain was a sense of hunger and need - a sense of [i]bloodlust[/i]. Close to the boat launch, the last member of the Palace Guard attempting to protect the civilians there was slain. Julien had drained him entirely of blood, letting the pale corpse drop at his feet. "This was too easy a job," he commented to his friend, Nicolai. The other vampire nodded in agreement. "I don't care though, we're getting paid to do this." There was a mist of purple as someone [b]Transported[/b] to the area. Wearing a black cloak, the hood covered the figure's face, though purple-yellow eyes peaked out from underneath the brim. [color=#9B30FF]"You have failed the Castle,"[/color] Violet, one of two famous vigilantes active in the Small Wet Country Across the Sea, warned the vampires. The air was thick around the woman as she took a breath, feeling the [b]Magyk[/b] pumping through her veins. [i]Punish them...[/i] a voice whispered in her mind. [i]They have failed the Castle... Kill them... Burn them... Destroy them all...[/i] The purple [b]Magykal[/b] aura around her became [b]Darke[/b]. [color=#9B30FF]"[b]Melt[/b],"[/color] she cast, pointing at the two creatures. Slowly, the vampires became warmer and warmer, until it was so hot that their skin started to ripple. Their blood was boiling and their eyes turned to puddles, dripping down their face as they then sagged to the ground. The vampires clothing mixed with the melted flesh, coated with blood and muscle and gut, until there was just a pile of liquified monsters and shiny white skeletons remaining. [hr][center][h3][color=ff0000][b]The Witch Country: November 5th, 12,508 - 10:10 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr] Asha brushed off Fleur's comment about the guard, since she didn't have any guards there with her. She figured that it was a veiled way to refer to the power source she wore around her neck, the jewel that guided her [b]Magyk[/b] and granted Asha the position of the most powerful wizard on the planet. "If I was here to kill you, you would know it," Asha answered. She was confident that she would be able to kill Fleur if needed, but she doubted it. The woman was not the most conventional force of good in the world, but she had heard that Fleur helped to save the Castle six months ago from Chthon, the elder god of chaos. "I am here to instruct you of the path you walk on - as a holder of an инфинити стоне," she explained. "As long as we speak soon, that is no problem. It is not too long a distance to return to my country," she winked slightly. Asha must have figured out some way to travel across the world instantaneously, something that not even a [b]Transport[/b] could accomplish. [b]Magyk[/b] had limits on distances that could be traveled, with even the Badlands barely being in range of the Castle. To travel across continents... Asha must have discovered something huge. Asha stepped aside, allowing Fleur to walk down the mountain. "After you, Witch Queen." [hr][center][h3][color=ff0000][b]Asgard: November 5th, 12,508 - 9:10 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][color=ff0000][i][b]The Bifröst...[/b][/i][/color] [color=ed145b]"A lot can change in six months,"[/color] Halley commented, taking Cuyler's advice with a grain of salt. Heimdall hadn't been able to see Loki, and supposedly, no one in the Nine Realms was supposed to be blocked from Heimdall's sight. The difficulties Runa and Klara had had in tracking Loki - or whoever had stolen the Tesseract - didn't bode well for this just being as simple as going to Snake Slipway and knocking on doors. [color=ed145b]"And don't forget, Loki can disguise himself to look like anyone,"[/color] Halley reminded him. [color=ed145b]"He could even look like you."[/color] The trio didn't take too long, leaving the Palace and then heading across the Rainbow Bridge. [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/7/7f/Thor_Ragnarok_Textless_Character_Posters_07.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20170918170716]Heimdall[/url] was there at the end, holding his sword at attention and he bowed his head slightly, greeting the demigods. "Princess Halley," Heimdall greeted. "Master Cuyler and Mistress Arnora... The All-Mother informed me that you would need to travel by Bifröst. Do note that if you are in mortal peril and wish to open the Bifröst, if I judge that doing so would endanger Asgard and the Nine Realms, you will be left to die." [color=ed145b]"Of course,"[/color] Halley responded. [color=ed145b]"We need to travel to the Castle of the Small Wet Country, if you would open the Bifröst."[/color] [color=ff0000][i][b]Myth and Bruce's Home... [/b][/i][/color] Runa shook her head at Myth, taking Halden carefully. [color=#a81a75]"No one is all good or all bad,"[/color] she said softly, thinking back for a moment. She had made some horrible choices in her life - evil ones, even. [color=#a81a75]"As for Fleur, though... I believe that there is more good to her than most believe,"[/color] she finished. She knew the bad that Fleur had done, but from what Runa could tell, it had been for her coven - her family. Wouldn't she have done the very same things, had their roles been reversed? At any rate, once Myth and Bruce are out the door, they'll want to hurry to get to the Bifröst - they should be able to get there just in time this round to see Heimdall chatting with Cuyler, Arnora, and Halley.
