With light blue skin, a bald head, and scare amounts of clothing, it's no wonder that the tales of the Frost Giants were made to frighten the children of both Midgard and Asgard into behaving. Carrying a spear with fresh blood on the tip, the Frost Giant advanced towards Ahote, looking at him curiously - the way a cat looks at a mouse before striking. They hadn't been on Midgard in eons, so what on Earth is one of them doing here now? Well, Ahote won't really have much time to question this, as the Frost Giant charges at him and throws its spear, aiming for his heart.

[/b][/i][/color] Nera nodded for a moment, considering Fleur's words. [color=7bcdc8][i]"The Queen used to tell me stories when I was young, of a time before ghosts were forced to [b]Remain[/b] here... I do not know which is better - to exist forever or to cease to exist at all."[/i][/color] It was something she thought about, from time to time, which was to be expected as her ghosthood had been rather lonely so far. Aside from these visits from Fleur, most of her interaction with the living consisted of scaring children who dared each other to sneak into the old Port Witch Coven house. [color=7bcdc8][i]"When will you find peace?"[/i][/color] she then inquired, after Fleur described the power she had rapidly amassed. [color=7bcdc8][i]"When will you be able to rest? As that is my hope for you."[/i][/color] Fleur would be able to detect a few [b]Magyk[/b] users of significant power nearby - though she won't be able to identify them. [color=ff0000][i][b]The Dragon Boat - Draggen Island, the Marram Marshes...[/b][/i][/color] The Dragon Boat didn't protest as Titan climbed aboard, but she didn't start to fly them back to the Castle or anything like that. Instead, the magnificent creature just hovered above the cracked island. Maybe she needed to have some sort of specific instruction told? The Dragon Boat could need someone to say [i]Appa, yip yip[/i] maybe?[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=cc33ff]Antonije[/color] and [color=ff0000]Myrus[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/DZgBV4F5/giphy.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] [color=cc33ff]the Palace Grounds D6 -> E6[/color] / [color=ff0000]Palace Grounds C9 -> Entrance Hall F5[/color] [b]Skills:[/b] [color=cc33ff]Telepathy[/color][hr][/center][hider=Battle Map - Palace Grounds][img]https://i.postimg.cc/mZ0Xw5JM/grounds.png[/img] You MUST specify where you are on this battle map each time. Yes, tis a new battle map.

Instead, his gifts came from mental control. He didn't want to lose Sylvi and he wasn't going to let her out of his sight. He focused on her mind for a moment, trying to gain control - it was difficult to get inside of her head, way more difficult than it should have been, but he managed to do it. [i][color=cc33ff]Stay with me,[/color][/i] he commanded her telepathically. The ends would justify the means. Sylvi wouldn't be able to resist the order. He then moved away from the fire, doing as Myth asked - for now. [color=cc33ff]"We can go to Sylvi and I's place,"[/color] he suggested. They had a room in the Ramblings, since Myth and Bruce had moved back to Asgard with his siblings. He didn't want to live in Bruce's empty home on [b]Alchemie[/b] Way, despite the demigods insistence that no one else would be. Maybe Bruce would have an answer for how to fix Sylvi, but at the moment, Antonije blamed his adoptive father for everything that happened. If Bruce had been there, Sylvi might not have been bitten. His sisters wouldn't have gotten mixed up with the Port Witch Coven. Maybe their parents never would have died in that accident. Myrus allowed Lennox to guide him along for the moment, his hands shaking with fear, sorrow, and rage. He was a naive and innocent boy when the day had started, but who knew what sort of person he would be tomorrow. Loss had a way of changing people and the prince had lost so much - his father, his mother, and now his best friend. He very well could be heading towards his sisters' corpses as well... There was only so much that the mind could bear before it snapped. [color=ff0000]"Mona, isn't it?"[/color] he said softly, but there was an intensity in his violet eyes. He fell silent, not saying anything else then as Mona went off to deal with yet another vampire. Erasmus was just a decapitated head and he stared up at Mona, attempting to talk but it seemed speech was beyond him at the moment. It would be simple enough for her to just pick up the head and throw it into the fire, but perhaps keeping Erasmus alive could be beneficial - after all, they needed to know who was behind these attacks and why. Myrus went into the Palace itself now, emerging in the Entrance Hall. His eyes somehow managed to widen again, looking around and seeing all of the carnage. His family's priceless heirlooms were smashed and so many of their loyal servants had been slain. Just one man stood against what seemed to be another pack of vampires and Myrus bit his lip slightly. He wanted all of them to burn for what they had done to Mavis. "What are you?" Horatio hissed at Bruce. "I heard there was a new ExtraOrdinary but well... I thought you'd be older." The vampires then pressed forward, not quite closing the gap between them and Bruce yet, but getting into a more easily defensible position than the bottleneck they had been in. They spotted the prince not too far behind Bruce and Jett smiled. "You brought us a snack!" As for Amarantha, she would soon come face to face with a corpse as she entered the Long Walk. There were blood trails everywhere and no signs of more vampires, but they could have easily been in hiding. However, in this moment her resolve will fail her - and she will be unable to stop herself from feeding from this corpse.

Why would there be a concealed palace complex here in the Port? She hadn't spent a lot of time on Midgard lately, so she was running short on ideas that weren't more than just educated guesses. It could have been built by her uncle, he did love palaces and other things of grandeur. Maybe it belonged to the Castle Queen? Or maybe it was the palace home of some other player that she wasn't thinking of? [color=ed145b]"Cuyler.... Your axe acts as a compass,"[/color] Halley said, noticing something. It was something that was easy to overlook, but Halley adored rules and logic. The axe pointed in the direction that they needed to go - so why would it be wavering between two directions? Well, she saw that simply as meaning that there were two locations they needed to visit first in order to get through that wall. [color=ed145b]"Do either of the directions it pointed mean something to you? It's possible that the key to getting through this wall will be achieved by going to one or both locations,"[/color] she explained. She then hesitated for a moment, before deciding that it was time. [color=ed145b]"Cuyler... I must tell you something... It cannot have been Arya Rincewind that you [b]Sensed[/b] - she's dead."[/color]
