Vauxhall Castle - Lower Depths

Post by Sgt 86Delta »

Your team has been given the nickname the "Travelers". Each one of you has come from some other place on Rifts Earth or an entirely different time and place all together. Also lending credibility to the team's name is the fact that every mission since inception has dealt with rifts, other world beings, or materials and items of another age and era.

The numbers have fluxuated as members were recalled to former lives and others still lost their lives.

Brigid the Bold and Seamus the Half Giant were recalled to Northumberland and the Formorian incursion.

Wichita Earl lost his life to the Sea Witch in Liverpool protecting the remains of his ancestor, Captain Grey as his body was re-intered with his long dead wife.

Ziton was reclaimed by his Temporal Raider Master, Archaeus of Draxnus Prime.

That leaves three members:

The unshakeable Peace. His equipment and gear speak of a future age and time.The constant focus on the Invid leave many to be concerned that he is mad or the dark prophet bearing bad news.

Seelia Nishnocket is the spy and agile foot tall pixie warrior. She has no tact and all the fire, piss, and vinegar to ruin anyone's day, including her own.

Introductions for Kardis would take way too long. Obviously the most well traveled of the entire team, this Cosmo Knight is stuck on Rifts Earth for reason he has yet to discover.

The newest additions with in the past couple of weeks are two more curiosities who tell about themselves in short order.

Team Recall happens in numerous ways.

You were where when you received the summons?

What were you doing when the summons came?


You arrive in the foyer of the Castle to meet with Command. It is still as spacious an entry as you have ever seen. The ceiling is two stories up and unsupported in any way. Roughly a hundred yards wide and twice that in length.

Other Knights and support staff come and go. They enter in and then disappear at the edges of the room. The doorways only appear when someone gets near them or is coming through them from another direction.

Surprisingly enough, you can hear yourself walking around but your footsteps and your conversations only travel a few feet away. Those that come and go make no sounds that you can hear unless you are standing near a wall where a doorway appears.

You were instructed to meet in the foyer and wait for your teammates and Command. What do you do with yourself?

The great world tree stood mighty before Kardis. The dragon’s treasure somewhere beneath its roots lay waiting. St, George was a worthy adversery to be pit against Kardis’ might. Kardis breathed, and the wind swept across the hill side. His voice was like thunder lulling a baby to sleep, ”Chronicler, did the mark lend itself well to your pages?” The world tree rustles seemingly appriciating the breeze Kardis send its way. Kardis sees his trusted ally nod and tap his pen to his jounal of Kardis’ exploits.

It had been long ago that Kardis first had stepped forth in these lands. It had been his very footsteps that lent itself to the first root of the mellenium tree, for whereever Kardis the bold, KArdis the Brave, Kardis the Green strode remarkable life sprung forth in the wake of his cosmic power. It did his heart warm to see life he had help seed still living strong. But ever his mind went back to the mansion of thorns that had held him in captivity for so long. Do I go after the beast alone? Do I stay with these band of heroes? Emphasizing the crossroads he was at he spoke again sending thunger claps accross the wayside, ” Chronicler, we are at the path of Sisco and his brother Morn.” Kardis saw keeper nod wisely putting pen to paper documenting the struggle with the cosmo knight.
Ever the silient one Keeper. Hold your thoughts, in silience you help me find my way.

A man on a steed brave enough to go near the Cosmo Knight galloped towards him halting at shouting distance, ”Hark Kardis! The Travlers are being recalled and summoned at the Castle!”

Kardis grinned clutching his chroniclers forearm recognizing the forge’s will and his are in synch, ” As if the Halls of the many mirrors spoke the same thing Keeper. Keeper and I will hear this summons! Come keeper the stars are wide and we are free!” St. George will have to wait, but I hope the dragon knows I am greatful for the treasure he bestowed upon me.

As Kardis takes off using his cosmic flight to journey swiftly to the castle of the knights, the rider that had come for him could not help but to ask to his steed if anyone, ” Who was this keeper Kardis spoke of? I saw only he gazing at the Mellenium Tree.”

Like a streak of Lightning crashing down upon the Castle the knights make their home Kardis crashes down unto the foyer. His might sinks the stone and bends iron with ease. With great purpose he alone steps out of the depression marking his arrival where no doubt a sapling of great beauty will form and speaks to any and all gathered, ” We have our ears open, and eyes wide upon sailing to Vauxhall to speak with Travlers.”

Madok first came to Bath at the urging of his dreams, they showed him the city and he went. Helping who he could on the way, he arrived and spent several days pub crawling/healing the needy. Eventually he learned of the Knights and sought them out, or they learned of him and came looking, he's unclear which as that evening was more drinking than healing. Having heard of the demigod and his good works Madok was offered a position with the Travelers the following morning which he accepted both because it seemed where his path was heading and so he could nurse his hangover in peace a while.

While the acoustics were a disappointment in the foyer the silencing effect did mean less noise from the hustle and bustle. Lounging against a wall with a clay jug next to him Madok sits tuning his lyre when the cosmo-knight slamming into the floor. The unnatural quiet does little to dampen the concusion wave which knocks papers from the hands of couriers and hats off of heads. Madok sheilds his jug and squints in pain. "Sweet Christ, now that's a fookin entrance." Not that anyone is close enough to hear him. He takes a large swig out of the jug and grins then stands to approach the strange flying knight.

"Hey, someone gonna 'ave ta fix that!... Least that's what the sargent fellas probably gonna say to ya." He finishes laughing. "I figure the bloke who does 'll be gettin paid for it and thus the circle of life continues. M'names Madok, you a part of the Trav'llers?"

Kardis eyes the smallish man holding onto the tankard and nods shaking the very air as if it were unable to withstand his grace. He speaks barely a booming whisper not wanting to completely destroy this restless looking one, ” The star of Jellian stride into the night Unlooked for and yet it came just the same.”

This openly confuses the hungover druid, he stares blankly, then blinks several times, and finally comes to a conclusion. "Hold on. I'm thinkin ye got a head start on me." putting the jug to his lips he takes a long slow pull. When he's done the pained look has have cleared from his eyes a bit. "Alright, try that again."

Long has it been that Kardis has been among lesser life unable to grasp his cosmic language. The Knight looks at the one who drinks with reckless abandon with thoughtful intent. The cosmo knight’s radiant armor a tribute to the heavenly stars if there ever was one glows brighter than before as if the knight’s heavy contemplation power it.

He reaches out an armored gauntlet shaped like a super nova. His voice rumbles like a thunder clap on high, ” Drinkla in the long heat of Vala, his eyes wide and arms open.” Kardis makes a motion like he is drinking something and extends his hand once again.

"Oh, well sure. Dinna mean to be selfish." He holds the jug out to the cosmo knight. The mead was enough to clear his head of the cobwebs from the night before. That only helped with understanding the alien warrior a little but maybe getting snookered before meeting his new team mates was a less than great idea. Better to wait and do the drinking with them. Much more sociable. "It's nay the strongest mead, but that's only fitting for beakfast."

"Ha HA!" Seelia crowed as her mount put on a burst of speed. "Take THAT, Nellywort! I'm leaving you in the dust!"

The pixie she was racing...well, really there were seven, but only Nellywort had pulled ahead of the pack to threaten her lead...grimanced and shook a tiny fist at Seelia. "You just wait! You're going to tire him out, and I'll be ready to make up the distance!"

Seelia crouched low, gripping the curved shell of her faithful riding snail with both arms and both legs. "Shows what YOU know! Dirteater NEVER gets tired!"

The snails, for their parts, seemed to take very little notice of the pixies atop their broad shells. They were certainly large specimens, for snails...and pixies were quite small, for people...even so, the 'race' was just as slow as one might expect snails to be. Rows of pixies and boggarts and sprites behind a fence improvised from matchsticks and other bits of wooden debris roamed to and fro, cheering and booing in equal measure.

Nellywort rapped the back of her snail's shell with the sliver of wood she was holding. "Faster, Slimeguzzle! Faster!"

With a laugh, Seelia looked back at the finish line. It was only another couple of feet away! Another ten or fifteen minutes of tense, nailbiting racing and they'd be there! What a grand day!

And then a messenger mosquito landed on the snail shell ahead of Seelia. The pixie blanched and swatted at it, but the pesky bug refused to budge. A tiny roll of scrip was attached to its proboscis. It couldn't feed while it was there, so a messenger mosquito was very motivated to make its deliveries in a timely fashion.

Finally Seelia scooped the message off and unrolled it, making sure to keep one eye on the finish line so that the snail wouldn't get distracted and gallop some other direction, leaving her only scant tens of minutes to react.

Her eyes widened. The Knights needed her! But...but...the race!

Her Oath was clear though. She served the Queen, and the Queen had committed her to the Knights of Vauxhall.

"It's your lucky day, Nelly," declared Seelia grandly. "Duty calls. BUT! BUT! If my snail gets over the line before yours, even without me ON IT, I still win. NEW RULE. And if YOU get across first, then it doesn't count because we have to REMATCH. Good luck!"

With a flash of light and a buzz of wings, Seelia launched up off her snail and zoomed towards the Hall of Vaux.

------------

She was almost to the building when something like a falling star hurtled past her in midair, sending her into crazy looping spirals with the force of its passage. It slammed down into the courtyard, leaving a smoldering crater and dazing several standers-by. Seelia drew her sword angrily, but then recognized the fallen star! KARDIS!

Oh, that was an amazing entrance! She couldn't back down from the challenge!

Seelia nosed down and folded her wings, plummeting from on high. Sparks of magic gathered around her, mingling with the twinkly iotas of pixie dust and the shining of her wings to give her the appearance of a sort of magical comet; a blaze of glory with a fading tail of light. She slammed down onto the ground, spreading her wings at the last second to cushion the fall, and took it on both knees and her right fist.

The corona of light seemed to puff off of her in a tiny explosion, and she looked up at Kardis and Madok from behind her mouse-skull helmet...and flicked it up to reveal her Very Serious Business Expression...which was diluted only slightly by being on a cherubically adorable pixie-face.

"When doors are closed, she knocks," Seelia declared. "When weather's bad, she walks!"
"But not even birds or cats or rocks will keep SEELIA NISHNOCKET from the Hall of Vaux!"

She brandished her tiny sword, then slammed it back in its sheathe.

"Hi."

The arrival of the twinkling sparking comet of a pixie distracts him from Kardis. "Seelia! It's great to see ya! I'm supposed to meet some folks called the travelers and join em but aside from paper pushers, clerks and the like I've only met this great confusing fellow." Glad to see a familiar face the druid stands grinning at the fey knight.

A tall discheveled man walks into the foyer. He is wearing a gray t shirt (that was once white) scuffed up jeans and no shoes. He squints against the bright light, pulls a pack of cigarettes out of his shirt pocket and shakes one into his trembling hand. It lights itself before it even touches his lips and he takes a long drag from it before letting out a sight.

Kardis’ gaze mighty as it was long takes in the smoker and pixie after handing the jug back to the reckless one. The drink had done little to quench is great thirst. Only an adventure of epic perportions with equal consequences would satiate his thirst. He looks to the corner at the deepest shadow and he alone sees Keeper writing in his great book. I hope you take notes Keeper. The reforging of the Travlers is worthy inclution into the Chronicles of Kardis. By the time we are done in this land of Knights the world will marvel in our awe.

Beneath Kardis’s feet the stone foyer crumbles as you approaches the two new commers. His smiles graces the pixie @Seelia Nishnocket like rays of sunshine hitting at first light. ” The rocket returns to Vaux Hall. My arms are wide and heart full.”

His heavy footfalls thump shaking the castle when he acknowledges the smoker. He frown that would strike fear into a lesser being smears a accross his face. His voice is a booming whisper as he speaks slow like talking to a child, ” Jallad when he strode to Tenagra had his eyes shut. The beast at Tenagra. Jallad never returned home. Travlers at Vaux Hall. The thorn beast in the land of knights. Kardis the bold, the undying, the foe of the thorn beast in the land of knights. Kardis with his eyes open, Smoker’s eyes are shut. Will the smoker return home ?”

The mighty cosmo knight nods thoughtfully the smokers ill fated smoke seemly avoiding Kardis’ greatness all together. The smoker appeared to be some kind of imbicile and Kardis took great pity and on him. He raises a fisted gauntlet that gleams like an exploding sun, “Proceed with the ganging.”

The newcomer looked possibly more hung over than Madok so the druid begins mixing some herbs in a cup with some mead. He then approachers the newcomer extending the cup "This'll clear yer head a bit lad. Barely know what's a foot myself, m'name's Madok."

The gathered four are greeted by a figure some remember and others never have met.

Striding forward is a figure in deep rust colored browns and dark colored reds. He takes off his hat and bows. "I am Knght Commander Buxley. It is good that you all have assembled."

"Please, follow me to the room over here." Buxley is pointing to the blank wall behind him.

Buxley sets down a stone pillar with a dull black orb on top of it.

"Should anyone come here after us, who should be with us, this beacon will direct them to our location."

After setting the small pillar on the floor near the recently opened doorway, Buxley nods to @Seelia Nishnocket , @Kardis , @Madok the Restless , and @Stoic . After getting everyone's attention, he steps through the portal into another room.

Time to see what this is all about, between the likes of Seelia and that big bastard I'm guessing it'll be good fun After gathering his effects the druid does not hesitate to follow the Knight Commander into the magical doorway.

Buxley turns upon entering the room and let's @Madok the Restless walk past him. "It has been a long while since one of your kind has come to Earth or the Isles for that matter." Holding up a white rose, Buxley waves it front of Madok and down towards his feet.

"Sent here by the Cirlce up north? That is some high recommendations."

Kardis does not merly follow the commander of Buxley. Nay his purpose is true and steps thundering like a roaring lion as he approaches. Never before has Kardis strode meekly, and certainly not here. The heavy footfalls echo in the ears portending the coming of something great. In his wake an iridecent moss purple and blue begins to grow in his footfall impressions.

As if his presence could be missed the great cosmo knight weightily says merly a wild whisper,” Kardis at the hall of knight. His eyes open.” He looks behind him motioning to no one in particular or perhaps everyone at the same time. Hurry Keeper, or you will miss what the Commander has to say. A renewed start of our pupose for being here.

"I got it! Ha ha! I got! I've isolated the residual quantum flux in the biological matrix!" Peace shouts as he bursts into the room. He's panting and short of breath, he's hold up one of the large scientific field laptops and pointing at data and a few animated helical diagrams on the screen. He looks around the room and when there's not resounding approbation he shouts through his panting, "Don't you see? It's the key to unlocking protoculture synthesis!" His face turns serious though, "Still! We must be vigilant that our progress is not detected by the Invid!"

Peace finally looks around, only to see Kardis walking through a wall. "Where is everyone?" says as he then chases after the weirdo. Peace is the last in the room and is torn between looking at his data and listening. He's still distracted enough that he's still rambling about his data and doesn't notice Madok..."See, by isolating the fluctuations in the quantum particle stream emitted from the quasi-trans-dimensional vortexes present in the sub-atomic assemblies of the protoculture matrices I have been able to quantize the energetic shell of the anti-electrons tied to the virtual string structure thereby collapsing the probability field to a stable macroscopic waveform, and so thereby allowing the accurate prediction of the Planck units of the wave's amplitudinal output!!"

Peace, true to his nature had been researching in one of the many rooms available in the Castle. His lovely and capable assistant tapped him on the shoulder and with a nod directed him through a portal all while he was going on about his new discovery.

With the Travelers members gathered in an adjoining room to the main hall, Buxley motions to seats in a semi-circle. The seats are in front of a small bar with wine and spirits.

Vauxhall Cross "Time for a history lesson, Lady and Gents."

"The British Isles have always been governed by the powers of the Seeli, Fairy, or Fae Courts. Those who have resided on these Isles for the last two thousand years have fallen under sway of the courts in small and large ways."

"Two hundred years ago, a short time before the rifts tore apart the world, I was serving the Courts here in the Isles. At the time I was serving in the Military Intelligence division of the British Government. Vauxhall Castle had just been built on the banks of the Thames."

"The Courts had not felt necessary to make themselves known to the public, so there were those like myself who were operating undercover."

As if on que and to prove his point, the already scant lighting in the room drops out completely and a white glow begins to appear where Buxley had been standing. The glow spreads out to cover the entire area where Buxley had been standing.

The light gets bright and then receeds to a degree.
Buxley White Knight.jpg
"I am Alister Buxley. Knight of Spring and Commander of the Mortal Hosts of Vauxhall."

"By my reckoning, I have lived for nearly 500 years."

"You. Each of you is here representing various factions of the Courts. Except @Kardis ."

Kardis’ mighty gaze holds Buxley with an unwavering determination. The cosmo knight remains motionless as if a great heaviness has come upon his mind. Why am I here then Buxley. Keeper? What do your records indicate? Do we know this Buxley in his true form now that it is so revealed? Ever so slightly the cosmo knight shifted his neck drawing his gaze to a corner of the room as if answers would be forth coming from that space.

" @Kardis, I would ask you to have an open mind."

"You and Keeper had travelled from places unknown to many of us, many of us Earthborn Mortals."

"Your arrival here over two hundred years ago was seen as an ill omen by many. Many of the Courts, sought your very lives, both overtly and covertly."

"When you and Keeper were at your weakest, I imprisoned you both in stasis chambers. This seemed to apease the Courts."

stasis chamber.jpg

"Once in those chambers I turned you over to a research institution for observation and safe keeping. In the years that followed, I lost track of you and Keeper."

"What I have been able to conclude is that, you brought a seedling with you. For what purpose, I am unsure. That seedling has proved beneficial to @Peace."

"The seedling drew another dimensional traveler, the Thorn Beast of Optera, I believe it is called. It arrived in conjunction with another event that prompted the move of the Vauxhall Castle from near the River Thames in London."

"It would appear that the stasis chambers kept you from being harmed on many accounts. The research agency was unable to access you in them, which left them to strictly observe you. The Thorn Beast was unable to touch you as well and so it occupied the grounds around the facility where you and Keeper found yourselves. Last it seemed to have hidden Keeper for nearly two hundred Earth years from the eyes of his last master."

As Kardis is about to speak, Buxley holds his hand up once to stop Kardis.

"I am sorry for the time lost and the injury to your pride or ego. You are here now and I count that as a great favor mankind and the future of the Isles."

There was a time long ago before Kardis and the forge cosmic became one that he knew vengeance and the taste of blood was always fresh on his lips. But that was a millennia ago, and his nature had evolved over time until a hero was born.

He looked at Buxley awash in the glow. His eyes betrayed no hatred and from the cosmo knights mighty lips he drew a breathe. Not for actual breathing of course but after centuries among humans he learned to mimicked their surprise.

He looked into the corner as if locked in unspoken conversation for a moment. Kardis the bold, the everlasting spoke in a voice reminiscent of thunder, ”Trillius IV washed in the great eye of Gardoon. The Forge’s light is sometimes curved and least expected.”

He reaches forward a gauntlet hand whose shine was the equal if not superior of buxley’s glow. Is this how it begins Keeper? A hand offered in friendship on the eve of a great quest? As he reached out to Buxley an errant thought caused his mightiness to tremble as if a shade walked over his grave in time yet written. Former master? What did he mean?

"I am sure that other questions may arise," Buxley reached out his hand to shake the gauntleted hand of Kardis, "Please feel free to approach me with them when they arise."

Buxley reaches back to a cleverly disguised alcove and produces a blocky form covered in a white cloth.

"At his partying, Ziton gave me this." Buxley holds up the blocky formed covered in cloth. "It has not taken a liking to me and as such, I believe it was intended for you, @Kardis"

Pulling the cloth back, Kardis's Chronicle sits in Buxley's hands.

Seelia bursts into laughter as she zips around the room.

"YOU'RE a knight of Spring?! But you're so BIG! And CLUNKY! With all your clunking!"

She dipped down and rammed into his breastplate, bouncing off harmlessly and zigzagging groggily to the floor.

"Hah! I'll...just stay here for a second and let you recover from that drubbing..."

The pixie sat, kind of fell, down on the floor. After a second her head cleared and she looked back up.

"So! What mighty task have the Knights of Vauxhall set before us today?!"

Keeper? Were you not also called Ziton? The cosmo knight accepts the gift of the book with grace as it appears able to withstand his mighty grip with no further ado. ” Eve has shrouded the halls of Torta on Vala.

The ground beneth Kardis cracked and many micro fissures formed giving the stone a distinct spider web look to it. In time an iridecent purple cave dwelling moss would grow from whence he stood. For now the gleaming knight cosmic nodded his readiness while hanging the Chronicles of Himself on his belt. His gaze was drawn to a dark corner as he silently saw his ally Keeper, an aged dark elf, taking notes in the very Chronicle that now hung on his belt! Oh Keeper London awaits. Did you make a note of your demise? A rumble filled the room as if thunder had erupted from the outside walls. In fact it was just Kardis laughing at his own insanity.

The knight’s cosmic armor shone brilliant and with much majesty. It’s breast plate gleamed like the very fire of the star from whence it was forged. His grieves strained to keep his mighty form upright on the brittle stone beneath. His helm contained a gaze that was known to make women weep and men swell with hope in their heart.

With a breath that said all that needed to be said and all that could be said, ” We are ready.”

Buxley moves past the others back into the hall. Collecting the beacon he moves across the foyer to a stairwell. ?Instead of heading up the stairs he goes to the left of it to alcove that houses a large elevator. Pressing a series of buttons, Buxley then slides in a key card, then retracts the card and turns around and waits.

"This Castle was built on a sight in London that sat on the south bank of the River Thames."

"The Castle was not the first building there, but it was the last on the location. We moved it here to Bath via a Rift. All its levels above and those hidden below were moved."

"Turns out the sight where the Castle was constructed was quite popular. Many different business'es had been there over several centuries."

"One such business you may be familiar with is The White Stag Tavern on the West Side of Bath. It had been a popular tourist hangout as well as a place to welcome new arrivals."

"Which site was the popular one?" Seelia wants to know. "The one in London, or the one in Bath? OH WAIT WHO CARES LETS GO TO THE TAVERN YAY!"

She dives past Buxley to hover before the wall she fully expects to open up, revealing a secret passage to ALE and FUN.

@Madok the Restless

You have a new Hindrance and regardless of whether it is listed as Major or Minor, for your Boon it is Major.

Describe how this Hindrance came to be. What it means to Madok now.

@Kardis

Hefting the Chronicle of Ages Past, Kardis has a moment where his conscious leaves his body.

Standing beside his physical body, Kardis is greeted by another presence. Ziton, former Keeper of the Chronicle stands near and becons Kardis to follow.

Keeper... I am sorry.

Don’t be.

I am. This journey was for the both of us.

I have never left

Buxley told me...

I have never left behold my wonder!

The world grew tiny and all to soon Kardis felt like he was again in the familiar embrace of the cosmic space lanes. Only he was not in control of his flight plan. On and on and on he went being drawn by some unknown hand. Well he knew the hand of Keeper or Ziton as Buxley referred to him. Perhaps it was that Kardis did not know why he was being pulled across the cosmos.

You are not ready... Hold your chronicle tight and you will have my power to bolster your own. It is the story about you but much more. It’s pages are filled bravery untold draw strength from it when you falter. It’s ink is my life’s work and will give you strength when you need to bolster your arcane reserves. It was all I could do and would have done.

Why?

Because you must learn the truth. The truth about why you are here. The truth that you were never told. The truth which you grasp for with I’ll equipped straws. You must learn!

From you Keeper? Where are you?

I am here! I can show you wonders but I am no teacher. You must learn from those you travel now with. Learn from them and be amazed!

@Kardis stands and moves at the same time. Ziton lifts the Chronicle and points and suddenly Ziton and Kardis are standing on the crest of a hill. the land beneath is scorched, cracked, dried, and otherwise unpleasant. What exists for greenery are burnt and withered stumps. Even the rocks and stones seemed to have lost to whatever has afflicted the land.

Ziton with head bowed, "We visited here right after your calling as a Knight. We tried to restore the land but failed."

"We arrived to late and encountered only a dark being with no name."

"It is likely that for his complete destruction of that one world, he obatained a name."

As Ziton pauses the scene changes once more to Salibury Hill, a time before the Millenial Tree.

"We came to Earth ahead of the unnamed one. All the signs said he was coming here next."

"Then we were detained."

For @Seelia Nishnocket her Queen has always been very much a larger embodiment of herself. Fiery, Feisty. Lots of Sass and maybe a bit Hot Tempered, but what else would one expect from the Courts of Summer.

Seelia is certain from her other encounters with other Knights of the Courts that there should be some sort of pomp and flash. Buxley exudes none of that. His armor is rather, lifeless. The air around him commands nothing, it is as if he has no presence and no authority for his words. Seelia looks upon Buxley with some serious questions and concerns, realizing that her previous statement about Buxley's size was not the off putting parts of his claim.

In the chanber where Buxley and the Knights are gathered, Buxley has said very little of anything other than details of the past. Many of the Knights feel that Buxley may have a problem, a disconnect if you will. As Seelia is thinking upon this, she hears a voice of schorching heat and flame, "This 'Knight' has been disavowed for nearly 300 years. Trust not his judgements nor his council."

"Your allegiance is to the Courts of Summer. Show Buxley how honored members of the Fae Courts respond to want-to-be's and has-beens."

So the courts are at play in this ay? Madok knew the fey and their struggles would always be a part of his life. From his birth since they had been present in ways great and terrible.
Years ago, at the Convocation of the Courts Things seemed to be going well with the negotiations for the most part the druid reflected as he moved between the tents of various fey delegations. The young goddling was going to rendezvous with the Princess of Sun and Sky. Passing out of the tent city into a field Madok awaited the fey Princess, his ardor for her had overcome the warning of his mentor when he received the message to meet her.

Down steam, a thick chill fog clung to the bank as Madok waited, it began to slowly drift towards him. As it drifted across the water towards the druid the brook glazed over with ice, thin spiderwebs of ice crystals, spreading like a web and thickening fast enough to cause an audible crackling. Looking on in alarm he sees the fog accelerate, flowing and drifting with a disturbing supernatural quickness. The fact that it would slow to a normal pace for a second or two then resume the jerky enhanced speed only made it more unnerving. Soon the fog surrounded him and it's touch chilled the young godling to the bone. The supernatural fog coalesces in a beautiful but cold looking woman. Not just emotionally cold, the chill emanating from her is visible. He recognizes her as the Warden of Moonless Nights, a Lady of a minor courts of Winter the Court was seeking to sway to their alliance, and a rival to the Princess Madok had hoped to woo.

Her words were like a slow steady winter wind, "Am I not who ye expected, beautiful boy? No, I reckon not. I may have told a we fib to get ye here. But now that I do, your allegiance shall be mine." Madok felt his muscles locking at as the Fey sorceress laid her glamor. She reached up to caress his cheek softly, the touch spreading indescribable pleasure and 3rd degree frostbite where the fingers pass and sending him into unconsciousness.

When he awoke Grigory and Ge-Feng herself were standing over him, the Warden was no where to be seen. Despite the smalls fires (?) that still burned in parts of the shrubbery, Madok still felt cold, shivering as he stood up from the ground.

His mentor glared at him with disapproval, "I told ye lad, yer too young a god to be trying to frolic wit deez types."

Ge-Feng was more understanding, "The heart is a difficult think Madok. Grigory is not wrong however this was a mistake you had to make for yourself, the affections of the Fey can come at terrible cost. I only hope you learned from it. If not the scars from the Wardens touch should prove a reminder."

Later the next day, the Wardens attack on the champion of The Princess was successfully leveraged and despite the mutual attraction the godling no longer sought to woo the Fey Princess he'd inadvertently become a representative for.

Seelia blinks, then her eyes widen as the truth dawns on her. Of COURSE Buxley's claim had seemed so funny!

She buzzes up to chest height and pipes up, pointing at the old knight.

"Hey! Buxley! You're not a knight at ALL! What are you trying to pull here?!"

Standing atop the Hill of Salisbury, Keeper looks to Kardis. "Failures are only permanent, if we learn nothing from them."

"The Thorn Beast of Optera was unfortunate. We knew very little and that seed pod was its means for self preservation."

"We discovered nothing pointing to one being connected to another. The unnamed was a denizen of the Pits of Hell."

"The past leaves clues through the present and into the future. Sure the unnamed may have crossed the landscape of Optera but its presence effected very little the Thorn Beast that followed us here to Earth."

"Take heart. We are still on the right path. Buxley knows a way."

Keeper falls silent and @Kardis finds himself standing in the side room with the Travelers and Buxley talking to Seelia.

@Madok the Restless

There is a voice, whether in your mind or physically there you can not say, "Madok, you have come face to face with those who would control your destiny. Take you from this world, its wonders, and the people who need you."

"With time you will grow into a Champion ofand for the People. For now be satisfied with being my Champion. Our enemies will learn to fear you and you may yet be the means to restore the fragile peace that once existed among the Courts."

The soothing and reassuring voice of Life, Grace, and Beauty leaves Madok still questioning where he heard the words, in his mind or if others heard it as well. But he is reassured, knowing that his feet are placed upon the path and the charge has been given and is his to fulfill.

Satisfied, and apparently utterly unconvinced that all those measurements of time, including years, were basically the same thing, she dusted off her fingernails and replied, "The Courts have been busy. Active! If you haven't heard anything recently, it's because..."

Abruptly her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.

Buxley turns red as the summer sun and shouts at @Seelia Nishnocket, "You know you are right, things in the realms of the fae are marked differently. But when in the last 300 years have you seen the actual seasons change? DAMN IT! When was the last time you remember Spring opening the door for Summer and welcoming Her, Her Court, and Her Entourage to take their places in the world and the cycles? Tell me WHEN?"

Buxley as if drawn by its sheer power steps right towards @Kardis and right into the Cosmic blade. The tip of the blade sizzles against Buxley's ornate and out-dated armor. He stares the Cosmic Knight down, literally looking past Kardis's armor and looking ight into his impressive being. "I LOST NOTHING."

"Over three hundred earth cycles ago, I last spoke to my liege, Queen of Spring.The White Rose."

"She warned me then gave me my next assignment. She gave me a Boon and warned me about the coming of a Herald."

Buxley raises the white rose wand, "I don't know what it does or how it is to be used." He sticks the wand back on his belt

Looking at the Cosmic Knight, "You are young and still learning. You have no idea what failure means. Your memories are catching upto you and regret and loss are still new to you. Trust me, I know what failure means."

Completely disregarding Kardis, Buxley turns back towards Seelia, Kardis's blade scores Buxley's armor across the chest and his right arm, but nothing more severe.

"My lady and I met on the Hill at Salisbury, as that is where we last met, I assumed she meant for me to watch and wait there. So I did."

"The assumption was made when Kardis and Keeper arrived that they were the ones, the Heralds spoken of. I detained them and then lost them."

"My Lady was gone by the time I returned to report. All I could find of her was a trail that led to London. So I came back to Vauxhall Castle to await her. A year later I was disavowed by the Courts, for losing My Lady and not protecting her while in the mortal realm."

"The workings of the Courts are never black and white and never are all the details revealed. I last saw My Lady as the Winter days were waning and Spring has never graced the Isles or the world since. You tell me faerie, what do you make of the situation now? If you feel you are in the wrong place, go. If any of you question e, that is fine, but if you leave Vauxhall now, your questions will never find their answers."

Buxley stands very resolute and empowered, looking at each of the present Knights but saying nothing more.

The end of the everwinter! Madok wasn't entirely sure what the situation with the otherworldly knight was, or even have a complete grasp of the politics of the Fey, but he di know a noble goal when he heard one. Stepping up to the heated debate the Druid tries to diffuse things a bit.

"Friends let's not bicker and argue over transgressions past and politics when such a magnificent goal as returning the cycle may be in reach. That the Vauxhall bids him to so dispatch us speaks to veracity." Looking to Kardis, "An' when that's settled we'll go attend this Thorn Beast of yours mate. It also sounds a great an noble task."

Kardis still unsure of what had transgressed and why Buxley was so resolute... Nor did he understand why the drunkard was making sense or the pixie warrior giggling. He looked into a dark corner with his cosmic sight seeing his old ally Keeper bidding him to lower his blade. Is it any wonder that Buxley was able to resist my blade? Your heart was not in it my friend. But he speaks the truth as does the drunkard. Heroes are needed and you hear the call do you not?”

Kardis gazes back to Buxley sheathing his weapon. The past is the past. ”The forge lost is now found. The forge brings its best when those righteous soar high.” The knight seems satisfied and again reaches his gauntlet forward reafirmming his kinship with not only Buxley but those heroes gathered.

Madok reaches forward to place his hand on top of the hand of Kardis. Some measure of the Druids deific nature shines through and his hand resists the Cosmo Knights crushing gravity. "Aye, let us help those in need and kick evils great variety of asses up about their earlobes."

Buxley looks content, somewhat. Adding his small mortal presence to those of the Kardis and Madok. "Thank you all for your contributions past and present. Let us be about the tasks at hand."
