Nimue checked on the progress of the rebuilt shelters, so far everything was going alright, they weren’t perfect but they were better than nothing. They were better than the elderly and children sleeping in caves though Rowan loved it, she thought it was just like camping and was throwing a bit of a fit that her father was thinking of making her sleep in the shelters. 

Nimue on the other hand was working on piecing together something special to try to get Morale up. The timing of all of this crap they’d missed the holiday and Nimue wanted to make up for it with a late celebration. Robin and Lars were working on getting extra food so that they could celebrate, Rowan had been dutifully helping to make decorations in secret despite her being upset about her camping trip being over.

Nimue had cleared a small area to make sort of a fair grounds, she’d managed to make a fire pit, some stalls and was still working on an oven for cooking their foods but that was difficult when you couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. Nimue knew that she never got that feeling for no reason so if she thought someone was out there they most definitely were. Perhaps Goblins? they were small enough to hide but far to stupid to stay this quiet for this long. A troll perhaps? they had some fairly good camoflage but heir stench would have given them away by now. Nimue also had the prickling feeling that it might be Mab’s guards, the soul reason she hadn’t yet returned to camp. She refused to be the one that would give away the town and the people just because of her mistakes.

After she was half way through building the oven she finally lost her temper, this long watching her and not a word? barely a sound? Nimue threw down the stone and stood up straighter

“Alright that’s it! I know you’re out there so either come out and face me or get lost! I have no time for cowards today!”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Rowan pouted

“friends are worth more than stories” rowan told him flatly before she looked at the twins “you’ll come back soon right?” She asked them hopeful maybe next time they could visit the village and not worry about mab, maybe she could meet their papa again since he seemed so nice

Nimue smiled

“casper only means to tell you a story to make you not feel so sad he isn’t trading your friends for stories” nimue promised her rowan still didn’t look convinced but she turned to kitty and Fitz once more

“next time papa says we can roast apples on the fire ok?”

[knightsmortuary]

“I agree friends are worth more than stories, but that is all I have to offer, something to make the sepperation easier.” He smiled.

“Ooh and maybe we can bring some Carmel for dipping in.” Kitty hugged her.

“Can’t wait, we miss you already.” Fitz hugged her tightly.

[archersofavalaon]

Rowan hugged them and let them go so puck could take them home

“you take good care of them ok?” Rowan asked her eyes watery with tears she knew goodbye wasn’t forever but it certainly felt like it

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Of course, I will never let harm come to them while they are under my watch and care. They are my fairy godchildren. Even other fae like Mab must respect this.” He gently smiled at Rowan then carried the two now very sleepy tiny vampires who had shifted into fluffy bats and were curled up in the crook of his arm. “You keep yourself safe Rowan and we will see you soon.”

Casper looked at Rowan, “do you still want that story?”

[archersofavalaon]

Nimue raised a brow seeing the twins

“how did you find us?”

“I thought rowan would enjoy having her friends return” lars admitted a tad sheepishly he hadn’t expected them to come alone though he suspected as tiny Shakespeare’s he likely should have

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck came up along, “I told you both to slow down there was a rock in my boot!” He sighed and looked around. “Hello blessings of the season upon you all, and I bring with me some things to help he handed a bag that was much like Mary Poppins’ in that it held more than it looked. “From the Summer court, fresh jams and things for the bread and a few casks in there of the first Autumnal wines. As well as oak cakes for the littles.”

[archersofavalaon]

There was much cheering and thanks given Robin grinned taking the bag and shaking pucks hand

“it is all greatly appreciated my friend, thank you” he assured him before he turned to the others

“let us not let this go to waste we have been blessed with guests and good food let’s see that it’s celebrated”

A loud cheer of approval came as robin began handing out the treats

“thank you mister puck!” Rowan said to him smiling before she took Fitz hand

“come on! Let’s go!”

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Of course,” he watched them go running off. Puck looked to Casper, “any luck with the magic?”

“Doing better.” Casper nodded.

“Where are we going?” Fitz asked.

“I bet it is fun!” Kitty assured him.

[archersofavalaon]

“games! Rowan told them heading for a stall that had bobbing for apples set up

"you try to get the apples without using your hands” rowan said holding her hands behind her back so she could show them

“you get to keep the one you bite!”

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“I like bitting games!” Kitty grinned her fangs visible but not in a malicious way. “Ooh and they are Granny Smiths!!!” She clapped her hands.

Fitz pulled his glasses away handing them to Puck, “hold these please.” He went to the barrel and bobbed for an apple.

|| family meeting || multi

Mab had planted a few more memories for will since the last time they were supposed to meet with Ben, the enchantments on Ben's door were working so she had set up for them to finally done with their son now that she was sure she had her husband's trust.

Mab hummed softly as she helped to set a table happy that everything was coming up well as Ben was brought in, in cuffs for a good reason and then was sat in a chair

"what's this about?" Ben asked eyeing the table suspiciously mab rolled her eyes

"a family meeting, someone has been very eager to see you" mab said to cheerfully for Ben's liking as he looked over all that was laid out before them

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue was genuinely confused by his statement

"yes. That's exactly what any of that means, you said you saw my relationship with merlin I assumed you knew that's how I show affection" nimue said to him as if it were obvious

"if I didn't like you, I wouldn't talk to you. I'd avoid you or yell. I treat robin and lars the same way, when they're idiots I tell them!"

[knightsmortuary]

“I didn’t see all of it only some, just that you were friends.” Casper said crossing his arms. “I suppose that is fair. But I’m not a complete idiot.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

"I never said you were," nimue told him "I called you a dumbass but not an idiot, if you're this upset about how I treat you how about instead of acting like some dramatic teenager you use this magic known as communication? It's his weird thing where you pull me aside, like this, tell me what's bothering you and guess what? We discuss it until a problem is solved" nimue said to him glaring at him

"or I'll treat you the way you seem to want to be treated, I'll ignore you how's that?" Nimue asked him she didn't wait for an answer and stormed off back to the group

"do whatever you want but leave my town out of it, our people arent ready for a war with mab" nimue told them without another word she scooped up rowan and walked away

[knightsmortuary]

“So much for communication.” Casper muttered before going to Harper. “Now then why don’t we make sure we are ready for our plan.” Rashness they were acting rash.

[vanhellsing-ava]

"hold it, a group of eight versus a kingdom isn't a good idea" Ava said quickly stepping in

"it's one thing when we thought they were in our side and they were willing to fight with us but it's completely different when it's eight people versus a castle of crazy"

[knightsmortuary]

“Who said eight? No Harper and I are going into that castle. I don’t know what the rest of you are doing it seems we wore out our welcome here my fault it seems. I’m sorry. We’ll find somewhere for a base of operations.” Casper said trying not to look anywhere in Nimue’s direction.

[vanhellsing-ava]

"great that leaves six of us to save you if things go south" Ava said folding her arms over her chest "five because we'll need someone to watch the twins"

"you're welcome to stay and hide" robin interrupted as he once again approached them "she's just steamed, afraid this is all a very trying time for her as well. She simply meant just don't involve our people in your plans. Your children are welcome to stay and play with rowan they'll be protected here and if we can we will help in small ways. I feel nimue forgets I'm technically in charge" robin said thoughtfully

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Yes well, thank you, maybe we can go to Titania’s and Oberyn’s the Twins love The Princess.” Puck said. “There we can perhaps see if they will help us raise an army.”

Casper looked at Puck. “Do you think it is going to be full on war?”

“What else is there now?” Puck looked sadly.

Rohan sat at the edge of the woods still trying to fit himself with he bracers the knights costume department, there definitely had been one or two times in the past where they had to infiltrate a renaissance fair but with the little notice of he situation at hand he had to grab a few things that weren't made for him but still would work blending in.

Rohan had called in a few experts of his own to help him, having called Casper, Godwin and anyone else who might be fluent in dungeons and dragons. One of the best things Ava's ancestors had done was turn some of their studies into a game so people knew more than they thought they did

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue went the long way around to the village to ensure they wouldn't be seen u til they came upon the village, it wasn't as bad as she expected but still bad. Many buildings were crushed to splinters but the important ones as assumed still stood including the forge. Nimue knew that if there was a trap set anywhere it would be her forge,that's where mab would expect her to go

"alright everyone be alert, if mab has set up any traps for us we need to be aware of them to run away quickly. Mab is going to want to take as many prisoners do she has an army do not go near the forge. My weapons there aren't enchanted and she can have hem,the forge itself will only work for me which means she needs me and likely has the place trapped. Stay far away"

[geektender]

Godwin nodded and went to the leather/ cobbler shop finding a bag of tools and some other necessary equipment that had been asked for. He was stepping out when he heard giggling. His hand went to the dagger when he saw two tiny familiar faces. “Oh no, how did you two get here?”

“Hi Godwin!” The Shakespeare twins waved.

“Hi,” he said looking rather panicked. “Does anyone know you are here?”

“Of course we do,” Callista said as she followed from the same direction the twins had come from. “Where is everyone?”

“We had to leave there was a bad attack, Formorians an army of them it seemed. What are you doing here?”

“It has been a few days in the human world we came to check in.” Callista told him. “Need help?”

“Yeah there is another few bags we could grab and carry.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

Ava had found her way to some home with a garden, she had managed to pull down vegetables when something wrapped around her ankle, instinctually she kicked it throwing the snake into the fence and watching as it turned back into her baby brother

"hi to you too sis" he groaned as Ava glared.

"you idiot! You're lucky I didn't stab you"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Ava we found you!” The twins came around the corner all giggles and smiles.

Puck came from where he had been and seeing the twins he looked at Ava’s brother. “Oh my God what are they doing here! It is far too dangerous! I was wondering why it was so loud when we are trying to be quite! Here I thought you VanHelsings were so mature and sophisticated yet here the Shakespeare twins are where they could get hurt!”

“Are you not happy to see us Puck?” Kitty asked.

“We just wanna help save Papa and Mim!” Fitz added. “We won’t be any trouble!”

“Trouble? No it isn’t you who are in trouble but I will have words with your Mothers. The Shakespeare’s entrusted the safety of their littles and you have endangered them.”

Callista has crossed her arms. “They were already made up in mind to come there is no stopping them, better to have them with us where we know where they are than back in the human world where Mab may try to get them. Besides we can take them to Titania and Oberon’s court where they will be safe and Aurelia can spend time with them. They followed us and by the time we noticed we were too far from the portal.”

The twins looked at everyone like they were going to cry. “We just wanna help Papa and Mim!”

“And you are very brave for it but this is an adult problem,” Puck told them. “I am happy to see you both but I wish it was under better circumstances.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"relax puck, Alec wouldn't bring them if he was sure he could take care of them" Ava assured him Alec nodded a bit

"yeah,can't day the same for myself it I'm not dumb, reckless for my own safety but not others. Kind of a big thing in the van Hellsing fam you know?" Alec asked him shaking his head

Nimue came next then

"do you want Mab's entire army to hear us?" She hissed at them

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Kitty stared up at Nimue, “wow you’re so pretty!”

Fitz’s eyes went wide much like Kitty’s “ooooh she has a bad ass sword!”

“That’s probably because she is a warrior!” Kitty said making a stance. “I bet Papa would write about her!”

“We should ask him!” Fitz giggled.

Puck sighed, “Nimue, these are the Shakespeare twins.”

“Ooh she is the lady of the Lake!” Kitty grinned. “You’re my hero! Well one of them, can I hug you?”

“I wanna hug you too!” Fitz declared.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue had to take a moment to process all that was being said for a moment and she looked at the new comers before her brain caught up and she shook her head a bit

"ok quick hug," nimue said only because they were little and if their parents were prisoners of mab who knew how long it was since they'd had a proper hug, not that they were being neglected by their caretakers

[here-to-puck-it-up]

The twins hugged her warmly, “thank you!”

“When I grow up I wanna kick evil down like you and Mim! Aunty Adrienne, Jules...” Kitty said starting to list off the various femme fatale she knew.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue smiled and nodded a little bit

"we'll get you back to the refugees I think you'll get along with Robin's daughter" nimue told them chuckling a little bit before she looked at puck

"they'll be safe there, surrounded by many eyes to keep track of them and rowan will no doubt keep them busy. I think Harper will enjoy more familiar faces too"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck sighed, “and maybe they will give Casper a bit of help with magic.”

“Why does Casper need help with magic?” Callista asked raising a brow.

“He is Merlin.” Godwin informed. “Well the reincarnation that is.”

The twins looked at everyone like they were going to cry. “We just wanna help Papa and Mim!”

“And you are very brave for it but this is an adult problem,” Puck told them. “I am happy to see you both but I wish it was under better circumstances.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"relax puck, Alec wouldn't bring them if he was sure he could take care of them" Ava assured him Alec nodded a bit

"yeah,can't day the same for myself it I'm not dumb, reckless for my own safety but not others. Kind of a big thing in the van Hellsing fam you know?" Alec asked him shaking his head

Nimue came next then

"do you want Mab's entire army to hear us?" She hissed at them

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Kitty stared up at Nimue, “wow you’re so pretty!”

Fitz’s eyes went wide much like Kitty’s “ooooh she has a bad ass sword!”

“That’s probably because she is a warrior!” Kitty said making a stance. “I bet Papa would write about her!”

“We should ask him!” Fitz giggled.

Puck sighed, “Nimue, these are the Shakespeare twins.”

“Ooh she is the lady of the Lake!” Kitty grinned. “You’re my hero! Well one of them, can I hug you?”

“I wanna hug you too!” Fitz declared.

Rohan sat at the edge of the woods still trying to fit himself with he bracers the knights costume department, there definitely had been one or two times in the past where they had to infiltrate a renaissance fair but with the little notice of he situation at hand he had to grab a few things that weren't made for him but still would work blending in.

Rohan had called in a few experts of his own to help him, having called Casper, Godwin and anyone else who might be fluent in dungeons and dragons. One of the best things Ava's ancestors had done was turn some of their studies into a game so people knew more than they thought they did

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue went the long way around to the village to ensure they wouldn't be seen u til they came upon the village, it wasn't as bad as she expected but still bad. Many buildings were crushed to splinters but the important ones as assumed still stood including the forge. Nimue knew that if there was a trap set anywhere it would be her forge,that's where mab would expect her to go

"alright everyone be alert, if mab has set up any traps for us we need to be aware of them to run away quickly. Mab is going to want to take as many prisoners do she has an army do not go near the forge. My weapons there aren't enchanted and she can have hem,the forge itself will only work for me which means she needs me and likely has the place trapped. Stay far away"

[geektender]

Godwin nodded and went to the leather/ cobbler shop finding a bag of tools and some other necessary equipment that had been asked for. He was stepping out when he heard giggling. His hand went to the dagger when he saw two tiny familiar faces. “Oh no, how did you two get here?”

“Hi Godwin!” The Shakespeare twins waved.

“Hi,” he said looking rather panicked. “Does anyone know you are here?”

“Of course we do,” Callista said as she followed from the same direction the twins had come from. “Where is everyone?”

“We had to leave there was a bad attack, Formorians an army of them it seemed. What are you doing here?”

“It has been a few days in the human world we came to check in.” Callista told him. “Need help?”

“Yeah there is another few bags we could grab and carry.”

[vanhellsing-ava]

Ava had found her way to some home with a garden, she had managed to pull down vegetables when something wrapped around her ankle, instinctually she kicked it throwing the snake into the fence and watching as it turned back into her baby brother

"hi to you too sis" he groaned as Ava glared.

"you idiot! You're lucky I didn't stab you"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Ava we found you!” The twins came around the corner all giggles and smiles.

Puck came from where he had been and seeing the twins he looked at Ava’s brother. “Oh my God what are they doing here! It is far too dangerous! I was wondering why it was so loud when we are trying to be quite! Here I thought you VanHelsings were so mature and sophisticated yet here the Shakespeare twins are where they could get hurt!”

“Are you not happy to see us Puck?” Kitty asked.

“We just wanna help save Papa and Mim!” Fitz added. “We won’t be any trouble!”

“Trouble? No it isn’t you who are in trouble but I will have words with your Mothers. The Shakespeare’s entrusted the safety of their littles and you have endangered them.”

Callista has crossed her arms. “They were already made up in mind to come there is no stopping them, better to have them with us where we know where they are than back in the human world where Mab may try to get them.

[ladyofthesmithy]

"so story teller," one guard piped up "if you're so knowledgeable about such things what must you know of king arthur appearing in the town square today?" He asked Ava kept a straight face, they'd disguised the wrong target, well potentially the right one but not for the right quest.

"king arthur is a human fable," nimue said simply "you all know no human could perform such acts even with the aid of sorcery and especially not with one of mine own weapons. No human could ever even wield such a gift"

[geektender]

“Godwin shrugged. “There are more variations to the story that no one knows the truth.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue nodded agreeing and motioned to Godwin

"point taken, see? No human story could be so powerful!"

"there's you" one guard pointed out to her "and sir hood out there"

Nimue opened her mouth to argue but closed it again as she tried to rethink this battle plan, where the fuck was puck with the drinks?

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck returned with the wine that was now charmed. “Here we are, sorry it was behind other bottles that wanted to jump off the shelves so had to juggle then had to find the cups.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue took a glass and paused hearing what he said and worrying that it might not be something she was safe to drink either

"no thank you," Arlene said to him smiling faintly picking up the same as nimue "I don't drink to much"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck didn’t take a glass, “not my type of alcohol, I preffer absinthe myself.”

Casper took a glass and wondered at what the contents really were.

Godwin took a glass, “to the valiant guards who seek to keep us all safe from harm.” He lifted his glass in a toast, but was trying to not take a sip till they had.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue raised her glass as well and the moment the guards were to involved in their glasses she dumped it out the window quickly Ava found her glass conveniently behind a plant to be taken care of later

[knightsmortuary]

Casper pretended to have drunk his too quickly and sputtered and coughed.

“This is why you can’t have nice things.” Godwin chided him, taking the moment to set his cup down and take care of/chastise his friend’s impatience. Thumping him on the back. “All the same we will miss you.”

[geekhunter101]

The guards didn't seem to be paying attention they hardly seemed to be paying attention to anything more of staring off into space Arlene moved over and waved a hand in front of their faces

"whatever you did it worked" Arlene said smiling

"these are not the droids you are looking for" she joked waving her hand in front of their faces only for them to actually repeat her and she couldn't stop herself from laughing

[geektender]

“So now what?” Godwin asked gesturing you the guards. “What do we do?”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"they should be able to be easily influenced, puck cast the spell so he should be able to command them" Ava said looking over at him

"I recommend having them rethink their lives and forgetting everyone they've seen here"

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck nodded, “you have decided this line of work is too much trouble and want to spend the rest of your years doing whatever it is you enjoy be it farming, spending time with your children, or fishing what have you. Now leave and do so.”

They nodded and started off away from them.

Nimue went to her forge for the night and grabbed up a spell book she hadn't used in many many years

"let's see what we can do for the new king" she said with a smile before she pulled her hair back tightly and got ready to go.

"alright" Ava said raiding the training weapons nimue had around

"let's start basics what do you know of fighting?"

[dead-boy-journalist]

“The basics one learns Larping,” Godwin shrugging as he looked to Arthur.

“Same. Whatever while we do that.” Arthur nodded.

Casper sat focusing on the ring eyes closed. Nothing... hey????

The ring hummed softly.

[vanhellsing-ava]

Ava took them through a few basic sled defense things that would help their next LARP experience and on the battle field no armybwas raised overnight after all they had a ways to go.

When dark fell Ava called it quits and ushered them all inside to rest Arlene was practically almost asleep the moment she sat down

[knightsmortuary]

Casper stared at the ring watching as memories of a life time before flooded in snippets and now he began to understand as his eyes glowed. “I see so much.” He said.

“Good you opened the seal and you can now access your potential.” Cornelius watched him. “It will take time. You will get better as you learn all that you can do. I suggest looking up a dnd spell app. Makes things easier.”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue had abandoned her spell project, great part of magic you had sort of a pause button, and made dinner. She made something big for her training friends chicken breast in an apple and mead sauce with roasted potatoes and other seasonal vegetables.

"eat up, today is just the beginning" nimue said proudly before she looked at puck

"how are the king and queen doing? They've sort of forgotten us here "

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“To be honest if it isn’t in front of them they hardly notice it, hazards of being as long lived as them.” Puck said.

Casper came in and sat down taking up food. “Thank you.” He said eating quickly.

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue smiled at him merlin had never been so scrawny before, the poor thing. She could only imagine what he was going through with all of this information overload

"don't worry I'm almost done with your new staff" nimue told him "perhaps that will have you feeling more like yourself" nimue said trying to encourage him as she patted Casper's shoulder

[convertingtothedammned]

“Ooh then you can use shileleagh! Such a good spell!” Cornelius suggested.

Casper nodded, “wait till Layla finds out about this she will never let me live it down.” He finished his food and looked at everyone. “How was your training?”

[vanhellsing-ava]

"my ached have aches" Arlene groaned to high not really, she trained like this with the Belmonts but she had to play the part of a first time adventurer being pushed to her limits

Harper took a chomp of a potato though she looked like she was about to fall asleep herself

"oh it's not that bad" Ava said rolling her eyes at them

Harper nodded and looked around before she spotted the familiar ginger being carried off

"casper!" She called before jumping from the horse and rushing over nimue looked up seeing the blonde

"friend of yours?" She asked and harper nodded

"what happened? What's he doing here?"

"don't worry he's fine just a little overwhelmed. This is no place to speak of such things when she's always watching" nimue told her ushering her into the tavern as the tavernkeeper Lars met them at the door and helped them

-

"I see casper" Arlene said as she watched him being helped into the tavern and the blonde Ben's sister ran to meet them obviously familiar, the knights were recruiting young weren't they? Arlene wondered how young the Belmonts recruited as well but she pushed for aside and hurried towards the tavern

[dead-boy-journalist]

Arthur nodded and after shaking hands with various children he went to the tavern.

Casper lay unconscious as the ring and him got more acquainted.

Godwin saw the ring, “did he have have that before or just now?” He pointed only to feel a slap on the hand. “Ow!”

[ladyofthesmithy]

"it'd always belonged to him but it's been in my possession for the last few hundred years" nimue said shrugging a little bit before she glanced at Arthur and smilee

"and of course he comes with the king of england, though you don't look like you're king just yet" she said noting he didn't have excalibur which irritated her immensely

"what did you do with my sword?"

[dead-boy-journalist]

“I’m sorry what?” Arthur looked at Nimue, “I don’t have a sword of that kind of nature.” He shrugged. “I also just found out about this....”

[ladyofthesmithy]

Nimue looked him over and sighed

"right humans reincarnate so you don't have excalibur but if anything happens to get sword I'll still kick your ass"

[dead-boy-journalist]

“I’m sorry?” Arthur held up his arms. “I really don’t know where it is.”

Casper’s eyes opened glowing before they receeded to his normal green eyes. “Where? What?”

[larsonsibs]

"thank God I thought you'd died" Harper said relieved as she hugged him tight these last few days had already been far to stressful she didn't think she could cope with losing someone to boot

[knightsmortuary]

He hugged Harper, “not yet, still alive besides we need to save your brother only then can I get away with possibly a paper cut.” He chuckled. Casper’s eyes caught sight of the strange ring on his finger. “Where? Where did this become from?”

[ladyofthesmithy]

"it returned to his master when he brought home the king of England" nimue told him smiling

"welcome home merlin, been a few centuries" she told him just as Ava came in

"was hoping you guys would find this place" Ava said smiling

[knightsmortuary]

“Merlin? As in the magician of King Arthur’s court? Please, that is all nonsense stories made up for children of brave knights.” He sat up the ring hummed disapprovingly. Casper frowned at it. “It talks?”

[larsonsibs]

"to you," nimue said as she sat beside him "and so I look like a nonsense story to you?"

"who even are you?" Harper asked quirking a brow as nimue rolled her eyes

"you'd know me as the lady of the lake, call me nimue." She told her and harper remembered puck was looking for her and excused herself to find the fairy where ever he had gone

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck had secured some food for Harper and himself along with any others and came in baring it. “Relax mortals you can have this food it is safe so long as thanks are given.”

Casper frowned at the ring. “How can I possibly be Merlin? Isn’t he some old man with a three foot long beard?”

“Ehh some versions make him old some young,” Puck said. “Some are completely wrong and some are shockingly right.” He handed a bowl of meatballs in a broth. “There is some bread with butter.”

Casper took a bowl, “thank you.” He murmured drinking the peppery, salty, and was that cinnamon? Clove? “What are these?”

“Well they have a name you might find rather hilarious, they are called Farts in Portingale. An actual favorite dish of Shakespeare. They are lamb meatballs with spices and dates cooked in a broth. Rather tasty and not overly heavy. You might find their sweetness akin to that of a Swedish Meatball.” Puck explained.

Mab hummed to herself softly as she finished off the rest of her human looks and wards to avoid being detected as a fey, at long last she finally had all the ingredients together to brew a potion for a portal, for a banished fey like her it was hard to gather the potion ingredients needed.

After the last time that she had tried to overthrow Titania and Oberon she had been banished to the outskirts of the realm, a dark place with knarled, thorny vines growing wildly and blocking out most sun light.

only the darkest of fey beasts and the mosed cursed of the fey themselves lived here and Mab had grown quite fond of her new realm. She’d made herself a dark castle out of rubble and ruin that she’d found around, broken down bits of the homes of the ancients who once inhabited this part of the realm long before Oberon or Titania, longer than any humans anyway. Mab had done everything she could to raise a good strong home so she could finally go and get her children! Mab glanced at the photograph on her vanity of her and her family, Harper was so young and Ben was barely still a babe himself, their father smiling brightly at them and she kissed a finger pressing it to the photograph

“You can’t keep me from them forever, can you love?” Mab asked with a wicked grin across her face before she strolled out fathering her things as she went into what would someday be a beautiful garden, it was getting closer as her powers were growing, black roses were currently the only things that would grow from these viscious vines that surrounded her home but soon her portal opened before her and she saw the quiet forest surrounding seacoast that she had loved to explore so long ago. she stepped from teh portal and frowned seeing that Shakespeare’s home was still darkening these woods as well as a new one, no matter. even if they detected the portal (Which judging by the shouting from the cottage they definitely had) they would never connect it to her.

Mab headed out humming softly still to herself a haunting melody that had it not been for the wards she was forced to place on herself weakening most of her other abilities would have enchanted those around her who were weak minded. 

Walking the streets of the city it was as if she had never left, she remembered the way there as if she’d walked this way every day of her life. She found the apartment and the listing that still had their family name on it and a loving smile crossed her features as she rang the bell no longer having a key for the front door.

Harper had just woken up from her ‘in between shifts’ nap and checked the doorbell cam and practically choked on water seeing just who stood at the door, her blood running absolutely cold as she immediately grabbed her phone and called Max

“Max you need to send someone to my apartment, Now.”

Adrienne looked at jane and then back to Will

“your queen and I have simply been out here conducting my interview, I’d hope you seeing my skills first hand would be a worthy interview for your trust that I would not hesitate to kill or be killed for your beloved” she lied she practically dared any if the guards to disagree with her. Adrienne attempted to stand properly but the guards holding her gripped her arms tighter and she buckled back again and whimpered cursing under her breath before she looked at will again

“you see my work around you anywhere you look, true she helped me but I’d think your beloved would be happier having someone help defend her rather than doing all the work…..do I pass?” Adrienne asked with a smirk if they were to go through with such an act their deception needed to work well together

–

Harper frowned

“what does she have to do with this? And shouldn’t she be in a lake? I thought she just tossed the sword out if the water at Arthur and that was that?”

[here-to-puck-it-up]

“Strange women living in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a government.” Puck told her flatly, “and no she doesn’t live in the lake, on it but not in it, and besides someone had to forge the sword.”

-

Will stared at the carnage before him and swallowed, were he of his mind again he might have recalled he trenches of WWI and WWII among others. “We do.” He looked unsteady then saw Jane. “Oh will you please stop with that dagger and stay your hand love. Your bodyguards life is hers and we will not ask that you end your life.” He motioned to the guards. “Release her.”

Harper had gone only because she thought the others were right behind them but when she realized she tugged on pucks sleeve

“wait! We have to go back! We can’t just leave them!” Harper told him turning to look over her shoulder and catching a glimpse of will and the scene unfolding as they got further away

–

Adrienne was grabbed by two guards, one holding onto each if her arms and s third pointing his sword at her throat to keep her still

“jane-”

“silence” the guard with the sword demanded before he looked to will

“your highness if I might speak?” Adrienne glared at him Jane’s lie was a bold one especially surrounded by so many who knew otherwise

[here-to-puck-it-up]

Puck rode onward against his desire to turn back, they only stopped once they were in a town on the Oberyn and Titania rules side of the Feywild. “We need to find more help, this is bigger than a small group. We need Nimue.”
