[color=55B7AA]‘Hey, at least there’s nobody here!’[/color] Ronin said in response to Alicia saying that this passage wasn’t as secret as they thought. Immediately, everyone had agreed that the wine-bottle saying “DRINK ME” was an obvious trap.

[color=DC9495]‘Hmm,’[/color] Miko frowned looking at the map, trying to see if there was any sense to be made from the bunches of lines all layered right on top of one another. [color=DC9495]‘Well, yeah, Alicia can shine through the darkness, and Alexander could make the toughest armor so no matter the trap it shouldn’t hurt us, or Gaia could just send in branches to trigger the traps instead of us-’[/color] 

She had to suddenly stop mid-ramble and throw up a barrier in-between her sister and the wine-bottle that Ronin had been reaching for. Sure, absolutely everyone else probably could have been ready to do that, but Miko did it, too. [color=DC9495]‘Sis, what are you doing?’[/color] 

[color=55B7AA]‘I mean…’[/color] Ronin waved her hands a little in the air. [color=55B7AA]‘I’m not sure this world follows the same logic as the real world? Just because this IS Wonderland, which follows some kind of fairy-tale rules, then maybe just because, the drink is ACTUALLY the solution? I know in the story it made Alice change size, but I kinda got curious what it would actually do? Besides, you’re all with me, there’s no way I’d not be fine, even if it was a trap!’[/color] So Ronin confidently said. [color=55B7AA]‘Also, there was this one time I lost a date because I didn’t drink, and I don’t want to make that mistake again!’[/color]

[color=DC9495]‘Sis… no,’[/color] Miko shook her head. [color=DC9495]‘It could be deadly poison so potent we wouldn’t be able to do anything. Even if not, it could knock you out or turn you against us. That would endanger all of us. You wouldn’t want that, would you?’[/color]

[color=55B7AA]‘… Okay, now you’re making me feel silly…’[/color] Ronin smiled and scratched the back of her head. So, what’s the rest doing?

So, for some reason Mayra rolled “Big Backpack” for a perk, but she’s had absolutely no use of it, because the perk has substantially clashed with Mayra’s theme.

However, now, Mayra has launched into the midst of the fighting, and she’s wearing this giant, red, backpack on her back.

And she’s put Brittany in it before leaping off the unicorn’s back to get into the battle.

So we have Mayra fiercely and excitedly rushing her opponents and clawing at them with streams of fire emerging from her in multiple directions, and if an opponent tries to flank her Brittany can throw chemistry or shit at them like a good little helper in the backpack. All flanks accounted for. Glorious.

So, no need to worry about Mayra, she’s in her element, the middle of the heat of battle, throwing fireballs and fireclaws., teaming up with mermaids to hunt creatures, seeing Rachel apparently being here too and she wanted to also jump in to team up with her because that was hilarious to her, being back-to-back badasses with Rachel would be cool. And that Gryphon… interesting foe, but she’d have to wait until the rest of the forces were thinned out a bit before Mayra could take her on. For now, she’d just make sure to dodge the huge arrows~

It was very fortunate that Asengav wasn’t an empath, because if he was, Mariette’s emotions would surely have given her away.

Mariette opened her eyes as she felt her feet meet solid, back in the real world. She breathed in deeply, as she’d forgotten to breathe for a while, and it was unclear if there was oxygen at all in the world she had just entered, just a dark magic keeping Asengav’s chosen alive regardless. Behind her, the mirror’s grip intensified. What was merely a tug before suddenly became a proper whirlpool, as the magic of Penrose started to drain into it. In this state, the mirror would be simple to detect from the surface… which is why they couldn’t have started this ritual earlier. To be frank, they would have lost against the forces of Penrose, and Asengav knew it. The clever Horror he was, he’d been preparing his own operation to start this ritual… but Mariette had just jump-started it.

[color=077ae6]‘Mother…’[/color] Mariette panted slightly, seeing the Queen before her. The Mint had found them? That was… somewhat worrying, but not something she was going to spend much time deliberating right now. Instead, while the Queen was shouting orders at her subordinate, Mariette turned her gaze to a hidden camera she knew was there, on a tree to her right. [color=077ae6]‘Inform everyone. It is time,’[/color] she simply told, knowing the person on the other side would know what she meant.

She then looked to Esther. [color=077ae6]‘You know your duty. Guard this mirror…’[/color] … Then she started whispering. [color=077ae6]‘… but not with your life. If you face death, retreat through the mirror.’[/color] The statement that would surely have confused any other agent of Asengav, who surely knew what price they would pay for failing their determined duty, gave absolutely no reaction from Esther. Esther, as ever the unmoving tree-woman, stood merely where she was, treelike and beautiful. Mariette was satisfied that she had understood.

With that, she would try to then open a portal herself to the next place… but probably fail. Very well. Normally, Mariette would be the one to bring her agents into the field. But suppose not, this time. [color=077ae6]‘Very well. Let us proceed,’[/color] Mariette then turned to the Queen, and then insisted on walking in first.

They were in a giant, abandoned warehouse. Scores upon scores of abandoned wares were strewn about the place. The place was in disrepair, and there were giant claw-marks all over the place, and scorch-marks of fire having burned the floor and walls all over. And in the middle…

A small dwelling had appeared. A small hut, built out of debris, with a small campfire, makeshift furniture, a pile of eaten bones… and a score of books. On one of the chairs, frowning down at a book, sat a draconic man, dark scales coloring his body, horns on his head, and a tail much like Mayra’s behind him. He looked up from his book and frowned at Mariette as she appeared. This was Xander, [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5545942]originating from this post.[/url]

[hider=Xander][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/HAXx4xR.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/LBvs3q8.png[/img][/url][/center][/hider]

[color=F1FF2E]‘Mariette…’[/color] he spoke, staring at her.

[color=077ae6]‘Xander. How are…’[/color] Mariette hesitated. [color=077ae6]‘How are you doing?’[/color] she asked, feeling a bit awkward.

[color=F1FF2E]‘I remain in my prison. But, these books you have provided…’[/color] he said, lifting a book. It was a children’s picture-book with simple words. It had been Mariette’s idea, to provide him with these books. [color=F1FF2E]‘I am learning, slowly. Mayra is not…’[/color] he stopped for a little. [color=F1FF2E]‘… not easy to understand as she teaches, a lot of the time. But I have learned enough to understand. But why have you come?’[/color]

Xander, as a dragon, had originally been brought here at Mayra’s request. She’d framed the move as “having a dragon guard the mirror”, but secretly, she’d have wanted to bring her “Georgie” to this world with her, her former boyfriend when they were both dragons. Then Ruby had come along, and turned Xander into a being just like her, just as Mayra had wanted. Mariette had then been forced to sell keeping Xander here to Lea and Asengav, who found out immediately about Xander’s transformation, but not about how it had happened. Still, unlike Esther, Mayra was often not around to guard the mirror she was charged with, so having Xander here in her stead worked out for all sides. Mariette had promised to let him out of his cage in controlled circumstances, but the time for those circumstances hadn’t arrived yet.

[color=077ae6]‘I have come to use the mirror you’ve been tasked with guarding. Excuse us,’[/color] she simply said, intending to just walking past Xander. She had not fully explained to Xander what it was he was guarding. He frowned as Mariette walked past, hoping he would not mind the other being walking with her.

The mirror was located in a box inside the warehouse. Mariette would find it, send a few quick bolts of light magic at the corners, and the door would tumble open. Inside, an ornate mirror with a portal leading to nothingness was once again visible…
