	Valda's mother didn't seem too happy with her daughter's response. [i]"Honestly, my dear, this is why there were riots when you took the throne! Appearances are critical. If people judge you as being strange or unusual, they may decide to assassinate you."[/i] Queen Meliscente pursed her lips slightly and didn't pay much attention to Ahote, deeming him not worthy of her time. She was a rather strict and formal Queen of the Castle back in her day, so it was understandable. [i]"And vampires? That is what you have guards for! Your job is to stay here and be seen with dignity - not running around with strange men to and from danger! Tsk!"[/i]

	Queen Meliscente then stared at Valda. [i]"I should have made your sister Queen. What a disappointment my children have turned out to be."[/i]

[color=ff0000][i][b]The Keeper's Cottage - Draggen Island, the Marram Marshes...[/b][/i][/color]

	Titan and Luna would find themselves in a cramped, circular cottage deep in the Marram Marshes. There is a staircase heading up to a second story, as well as to a basement. There aren't any signs that anyone has lived there recently, with dust covering a majority of the surfaces. The food stores have gone rotten and moldy, though there are some supplies for making potions and the like lying about. Perhaps a witch has lived here? 

	Luna would have faint memories of her mother mentioning something called [i]the Queen's Way[/i] - a secret passageway that allowed her to visit the Keeper. Of course, Meliscente hadn't shared much information about it beyond that with Luna, claiming that she would tell her when the time was right. Sadly, Meliscente died before that could ever happen. There are some portraits on the walls here of distant ancestors of Luna's, including Queen Esmeralda - one of the nicer queens in Castle history.[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=cc33ff]Antonije,[/color] [color=ff0000]Myrus,[/color] and [color=#9B30FF]Violet[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/RVJ9c6zw/giphy.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] the Palace Grounds ([color=#9B30FF]G10 -> I8[/color], [color=ff0000]P7[/color], [color=cc33ff]8L -> P7[/color])

You MUST specify where you are on this battle map each time. 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]
	Violet took in a breath, looking at the scared and frightened civilians. They were trembling in fear, no doubt from the strange yellow coloring to her eyes. Whether her perception failed her or not, Arya didn't see them as civilians at the moment. Any of them could have been infected, turned into more of those creatures. She couldn't risk allowing their plague to spread to the rest of the Castle - she had to defend this city. She heard Amarantha's cry about using [b]Fyre[/b] to destroy these creatures. [color=#9B30FF]"Pure [b]Fyre[/b], Burn higher, Make a Pyre, A True [b]BoneFyre[/b],"[/color] Violet chanted.

	[b]Fyre[/b] licked up from the ground around the feet of the civilians she targeted, with the poor victims serving as the kindling. She had [b]Ignited[/b] them and there was no remorse in Violet's face as the civilians screamed. Whether or not any of them had been vampires, that would not be certain until the bones were examined. Violet then turned her back on the flames, glancing forward to see who needed her assistance next. She spotted Amarantha and her eyes narrowed slightly. [i]Kill them all... Kill them... Cleanse the Castle with blood and [b]Fyre[/b]...[/i] the voices whispered. 

	Antonije was having a hard time keeping a clear grip on the mental connection he had opened between himself and Sylvi. It was like her mind was changing rapidly, turning into something different and new. His heart was filled with rage and darkness as he instantly realized exactly what that must mean - the love of his life had become a vampire. He took a slight breath, his blood feeling ice cold and everything around him faded into background noise. [color=cc33ff][i]"I failed you..."[/i][/color] that was the only message Antonije was able to get through, before the connection broke off. 

	However, he wasn't going to just wallow in self pity. He darted forward towards Erasmus, the vampire that Lennox and Sylvi were dealing with. He didn't care what happened to Prince Myrus. The boy was a bonafide damsel in distress and not worth his time. Without his [b]Fyre-Making Charm[/b], he didn't have any decent weapons on him except for his mind. There were a few gears in his pocket and he pulled them out, putting his fingers through them in order to make makeshift brass knuckles. [color=cc33ff]"Ја ћу те зајебавати!!!"[/color] he screamed, having no regard for his own safety. 

	He got in between Myrus and Lennox and the vampire, tackling the beast to the ground expertly. Antonije pulled back his fist and started to punch the creature repeatedly in the face, not even caring if he himself got bit at this point. Someone had to pay for this. And while it didn't even hurt the vampire, Antonije's hold on Erasmus kept him from getting up and attacking the others. 

	Prince Myrus took a deep breath and he nodded at Lennox. He started to focus and he rushed over to Erasmus and Antonije, trying to avoid getting hit by the mad mutant by accident, and the energy started to appear around Myrus' hands. He touched the vampire's clothing, charging it so that way it would become a bomb, and Prince Myrus then darted backwards. [color=ff0000]"You need to let go, he's about to explode!"[/color] Myrus shouted at Antonije.

	Antonije didn't stop. He didn't seem to hear the prince. 	

	Over at the burning table, Oliver chuckled slightly, impressed with Amarantha. "All will be revealed in time," he told her. "You needn't try to protect them anymore. They'll kill you for what you are. Your family will abandon you... And you'll only have us to turn to," he bragged. For Amarantha, the bloodlust would be increasing in intensity. She would be able to hear the heartbeats of those around her clearly and the noise would only make the hunger worse. For Sylvi, however, the pain in her mouth would spike as a pair of fangs shot out - and oh dear, her boyfriend's neck is looking like an excellent snack right now...[hr][center][h3][color=ff0000][b]The Witch Country: November 5th, 12,508 - 10:20 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr]	The people of the Witch Country more or less reacted with relative... nothingness to the news that Fleur had killed Agatha. No one had really liked Agatha and people didn't get too attached to the Witch Queen, due to the brutal process of succession. Some Witch Queens in the past had only been on the throne for a few days before someone came along and defeated them in combat. Regime changes were frequent, but the structure of their society never changed so it wasn't too much of a worry. The battle looming ahead? That did spark a few whispers in the crowd.	

	Inside the tent, Asha the [b]Magykal[/b] remained standing. "If at any point I am covering too much information, please stop me," she asked Fleur. She didn't know how much Fleur knew about the power she possessed. Performing a mild trick of illusions, Asha conjured images of six stones in the air up above them. One of them was the Time Stone and another was the stone Asha wore around her neck.

	"When life was breathed into the universe, six инфинити стонес were created, each of them representing a part of existence... Reality, Mind, Soul, Space, Time, and Power," Asha paused slightly. "You have the Time Stone, one of the more fragile ones... Its use threatens to tear apart the fabric of reality and existence. I [b]Felt[/b] when it was used to kill Queen Meliscente and I [b]Felt[/b] its use again now, leading me to you."

	She paused again, wondering if Fleur would just dismiss this or not. "I am not here to take the stone from you," she began again. "I simply ask that you use it responsibly. We already have an issue with the Displaced - people and places and things brought through time by accident from the last user of the Time Stone... If you use it too often or on too large a scale... The universe could crumble, wiping all life out of existence in our world... Perhaps even in the multiverse itself."[hr][center][h3][color=ff0000][b]Asgard: November 5th, 12,508 - 9:20 PM [/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr]	"Prince Bruce," Heimdall greeted. Halley coughed slightly and looked at Heimdall, giving him a slight wink. "Pardon me - Prince [i]Brucey[/i]," he corrected himself. There was a slight flash of light and Heimdall had a gold coin appear in his hands thanks to Halley, which he then pocketed. The fate of the universe was in their hands but that didn't mean she wasn't about to mess with her little brother. Nothing was going to keep her from doing that. "And Princess Myth," he said, giving a bow to the only full blooded Midgardian present.

	[color=ed145b]"The current strategy is to travel to the Castle of the Small Wet Country Across the Sea, where Arnora was able to pinpoint Loki's whereabouts. Once there, Arnora may be able to get us a more precise location. Our orders are to retrieve the Tesseract as the primary objective - capturing Loki is a secondary one,"[/color] Halley explained to her sister-in-law. [color=ed145b]"Remember, we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves. It isn't our place to meddle in Midgardian affairs,"[/color] she then gave a pointed look towards her brother. He had done a bit more than meddle. 

	Once Halley finished giving instructions, Heimdall opened the Bifrost and they were transported via the rainbow bridge in a rushing, exhilarating beam of light. It was by far Halley's favorite way to travel. Once landed, they would find themselves in the courtyard outside of Wizard Tower.
