Location: The Palace Lounge ---> The Armoury ---> The Kitchens ---> The Palace Lounge -- Asgard
Skills:

Cuyler made quick work of getting to the little armoury Asgard had but little it was anything but. He grabbed a couple of bags before he started grabbing weapons. He grabbed Arnora’s usual sword and set it aside before he grabbed his new bow and a quiver of arrows. After that Cuyler made quick work of changing into his Asgardian armour. He strapped his sword, Borghild or Hildy to his side before he pulled a shining Egil and slid the handle of the axe into the side of his belt. When he was all decked out like this Cuyler was highly impressive. Not necessarily to the other Asgardians who looked like this on a daily but to the others that he encountered on missions.
He grabbed Arnora’s sword and the bags before he headed off to the kitchens to grab some food and canteens for water. He smiled and nodded at people as he went about his business. When Cuyler first arrived there were many people who looked like him going about their lives and doing what he was doing now. It was a normal thing but for Cuyler he constantly asked where they were going or what they would be doing. They obliged him for the first while but then it got rather annoying and they would just ignore him or do something more damaging. Cuyler eventually learned when to ask questions and when to keep his mouth shut.
While he was in the kitchen he heard a familiar sniffling and tink of nails against the floor. There was a push against the back of his legs as Thia nudged into him and sat down beside Cuyler's left leg. She gave a small bark and her tongue lolled to the side. Thia came to the kitchens often looking for scraps, today was no different. Cuyler looked down affectionately at her and chuckled before tossing her some meat.
"Eat up quick, we're going on another adventure," he informed her. Thia was a comfort on most of his missions and was an important assent in scouting ahead. Thia barked and stood, wagging her tail as she ate up quickly. Cuyler left the kitchens before Thia once he had the supplies gathered but she quickly caught up.
Cuyler entered the Palace Lounge with Thia on his heels and tossed Arnora her sword.
”So, where are we going?”

Amarantha frowned at Mona. She had spent enough time with the rock witch though that she understood how she spoke and could get around the accent fairly easily. Still, there were some days were it was highly annoying. She waved Mona off when she said to come look for her later. Yes, they probably did have some things to discuss. Amarantha had been busy with war council meetings, planning out ways to defend the Castle against more than just witches. Everyone was out to get the Castle now and it was causing Amarantha more and more headaches trying to keep up with some of them.
She looked back at Antonije and compiled by looking over the various wandering guards. There were a couple that she thought of but she simply waved the closet one over.
”Will he do?” Amarantha crossed her arms, eager to get this demonstration on with. She had high hopes for whatever he had come up with. They needed a win. There was a sudden scream and worded cry that sounded of the Prince. Amarantha turned her entire body to face the sound of the scream and dropped her arms so they hung loosely at her sides. She turned in time to see Mavis Moll fall to her knees with an man standing behind her, a dagger covered in her blood. Mryus then tackled the man but of course he was overpowered but his hands started to glow and she knew the man had no chance but Myrus would probably be seriously hurt as well. It was never that simple though as Amarantha noticed a set of fangs as the man, well Vampire bare his teeth at Mryus. Excellent.
”Actually Antonije, would you mind trying your new toy out on this young man? Seems he doesn’t know how to let people have a good time without a little blood. Try to leave the Prince unharmed but if you can’t, you won’t be penalized,” Amarantha assured him. It seemed there were other people who wanted to play hero though and Sylvi charged the Vampire and Mryus. Amarantha gave an annoyed sort of noise before she pulled out her dagger and nodded at the guard she had pulled over to act as her third. Antonije had more skill and the toy so she would rely on him being her second and not need much instruction.
”Oi, I think playtime is over,” Amarantha said to the Vampire and pointed her dagger at him and beckoned for him to join her.

Ahote felt a little more relaxed, allowing Luna’s guard into the room with them but asked Valda’s to remain outside and act as a further guard. Surprisingly they complied with him. He looked at the two woman once they were inside.
”There are Vampires in the hallways, multiples of them. I confess I don’t know how to kill them but I might be able to fend off a few of them. They are hungry with the intent to attack and kill. I’m not sure how long we have,” Ahote said and looked to the door. He felt bad asking Valda’s guards to remain outside but they would act as a buffer if the vampires did attack and come after them inside Luna’s room.

Titan frowned. “Vampires? How do you know? They hardly ever come to the Castle. I’ve heard maybe two stories of them coming?”
”I saw their auras. They are rather distinctive and with all the research I’ve been doing of late, I came across some of their information. Unfortunately there was nothing on how to kill them properly. I’m sure I could dispatch some of them but not kill them.” He looked back at Queen Valda and nodded. Perhaps her room would be better. ”Is there a way to get to your room besides going back out into the hallway?”

Luna turned her head to the side, hearing one of the girls calling her Karen. Her name was Luna, or Glimpse and they knew that. Why would they be calling her Karen? That was seemingly of little concern to Luna when Colossus spoke up and told her some old time saying that obviously meant a lot to him. She smiled a bit.
”And is there a saying for someone who was sent here and is currently trying to become part of the brotherhood? I understand trust is earned but it can’t exactly be earned when your pushing me out the door already now can it?” She appreciated the saying nonetheless. Her father was always saying things like that. He was her brotherhood. Her family bond was all the wealth she needed, not the physical wealth they had. Luna understood there was a bond here as well, thicker than blood and she wasn’t trying to sever the bond but she wasn’t going to be pushed out without a fight either. If they wanted proof, she would give them proof.
Luna listened to Veil as she agreed that they would be taking Luna out to check her information, which she was perfectly fine with. She had yet to go straight to the source herself so this would be a good opportunity to. The only problem was, if they didn’t trust her, why should she trust them? Perhaps she should just go on her own and if she doesn’t show up again because of some bad happening, no harm done. They could go about their lives and her parents could bury an empty coffin. Not like it wasn’t the first time that has happened.
”If I may be so bold, in regards to your mission statement. Wouldn’t it make sense to take out one of the reasons why you have to be rescuing and shipping off mutants to better parts? Leave the head of lion to the X-Men but at least cut a paw off.”

Cayden shrugged before he pushed away from the table and followed along. He had finished his meal but brought his drink along to sip as they walked.
”It’s a bit boring “dreamwalker” and besides, dreamwalking is a very popular thing within native american culture. Regular humans boast about dreamwalking all the time and solving all sorts of things by doing so. My grandmother used to love the moon, all of her stories were told by moonlight and my first walk was during night and a full moon. It brings me comfort I think… Sorry, that was probably a bit of an over share,” Cayden said. He rubbed the back of his neck shyly and messed with his hair. If his other hand was free he would probably tie it up.
They were interrupted by other voices and even though one was rude, Cayden smiled warmly at both of them.
”Cayden Proudstar, or Moonwalker if you prefer,” Cayden said as he shook Cannonball’s hand. He moved and extended his hand to Sunspot after.

Antoinette followed along with her friends before she breathed a sigh of relief.
”I think Prince Flynn is right, nothing else is going to happen. I have a good feeling about that.” She beamed at her friends as her blue eye faded to its normal colour once again. She kept a hold of Carolina as they followed the Prince to the medical room. Antoinette wasn’t completely sure she would be of much help. She didn’t have much experience with bullet wounds and they didn’t look like something one should mess with if they didn’t know what they were doing. She was very grateful that they had October.
The further away from the ballroom they got, the more relaxed Antoinette became. She didn’t much like conflict or any room with unease in it. She didn’t handle it well. Her intuition didn’t help with that normally but today it was helping to keep her calm. Nothing else would go awry, so that meant the Queen would survive as well. Thank goodness for that.

Ezekiel placed his bow across his back and placed his Murakumo around his neck. It sat on a chain in miniature sword form until he would take it off and pull on the blade to extend it. It really was a thing of beauty; although, Ezekiel did prefer his bow. He walked out of the cabin and met the girls at the fire. Both looked as anxious as Ezekiel felt and ready to go.
"Well we'd need to steal one with keys. Unless any of you know how to hot wire a car. You'd have to run us to one first anyways," Ezekiel said. He looked up at the sky, measuring the sun and the time. Hopefully they could at least reach their destination by sundown and get a fresh start in the morning. He really wished they had more information to go off of. He didn't like missing information.

Cuyler frowned a little. Loki would never stay in one place too long and he had a habit of disappearing at the last minute too. He watched Halley hand over a knife and prayed Arnora would be able to find him.
”Why don’t you work on tracking him Arnora and I’ll go gather up some supplies and our usual weapons,” Cuyler offered. He wanted to split off while Arnora did the tracking. The sooner they had everything they needed, the sooner they could get down to Midgard. Time was the only thing they had. It was a little hard to trick a trickster.
He ran a hand over his freshly shaved face and looked at both girls before he walked off. He would make quick work of gathering spare clothes, weapons, a bit of food and some water. They would need to travel light if they were to make ample time. They could travel to Midgard quickly but once they were there, they would have to track and hunt and run in order to reach their goal.

Amarantha looked at the little device curiously. This tiny thing could render a person paralyzed? She looked at Antonije with a bit of disbelief but then also appraisal as she took the device and ear plugs from him. He had yet to let her down and his inventions were always exciting.
”I would love a demonstration,” she cooed. Her eyes sparkled mischievously even while she looked at Sylvi. Amarantha didn’t mind her barging in. She seemed good for Antonije and he still got his work done even when she was around. Mona then joined them a short while after and she sighed a little. Why was it when one was busy, that was when everyone decided to show up.
”Yes, she’s with me,” Amarantha answered Antonije. She eyed Mona and her freshly cleaned form. ”Did you just wake up?”
With the dreams she had been getting and the lack of sleep, Amarantha wouldn’t be surprised. Perhaps she had another dream. The same reoccurring one. They had gotten no further on what it could mean, who this person was or what they could possibly have to do with Mona or the Castle. It was all rather annoying and time consuming. Things seemed to keep popping up around the Castle that led to nowhere fast and Amarantha had enough to deal with. There was the elusive Fleur and then Luna's increasing problem with the voice in her head. Nothing was working for her friend anymore. Not the writing, the tonics or talking about it. Luna was in her room most of the time and Amarantha hated it but it was the best option. Luna was unpredictable. She looked back at her partner in beautiful, witch, fighting crime.
”Shall we have this demonstration now while everyone is preoccupied with the fire?”

As Ahote left his room, he saw extra guards then flaming red hair and smiled a bit. He felt he had grown a bit closer to each member of the royal family and enjoyed being in their company. He walked over to them, nodding to Valda and Luna’s guards as they all exchanged looks and nods. Ahote bumped into a servant as he passed and took pause. There was a lot of foot traffic in this hallway today, which wasn’t normal. He would think everyone would be out at the fire tonight too, not inside… Ahote’s eyes wandered over the people and colours began to shift and appear around each one. A certain shade followed several people which was rather unusual. Another was more obvious as he had seen this aura on several occasions here. Wickedness and murderous intent. It seemed a common theme at the Castle to have those things. Amarantha on occasion showed one or both of those auras. But the other strange aura was something he hadn’t seen before but had knowledge of. Being at the Castle he learned many things about this land and the various creatures it housed. Things he had that were similar back home but very different here. With his increase in knowledge, Ahote was able to pick up on this different aura and what it meant. His eyes widened and he took two long strides until he was up behind Valda. The guards looked at him curiously but they trusted Ahote as they had all sparred and practiced in the barracks weekly.
”I think it best if we step inside… The hallways are a little crowded.” How did you tell someone there were murderous creatures inside their home without alerting said creatures?
Ahote looked at Valda pointedly before darting his eyes over to one of the creatures. He didn't move his head though, hoping the subtle hint would be enough to get Valda to trust him enough to listen. Once behind closed doors, he would be able to explain and then they might be able to come up with a quick plan. As Ahote waited for Valda he quickly ran through what he remembered about vampires and how to dispatch them.

Ezekiel Kel

Location: The Lake -- Camp Half-Blood

Ezekiel made a quick stop in his cabin as he made his way to the lake. He dumped his stuff before he grabbed a bag with his personal notebooks in it and switched into a pair of swim shorts before he headed over to the lake. There were a few kids around doing their own thing but what was interesting was seeing Rosie at the lake. Of course the Oracle left her little cave hideaway but it was rare that Ezekiel ever saw her. She seemed rather engrossed in what she was doing which gave him all the incentive he needed to try and scare her.
He decided to go with tired and true method of simply sneaking up behind and shaking her shoulders.
”Boo!” He looked around her, spying at what she was doing and laughed a bit. He flipped a page in her notebook before checking to see what she was listening to. ”Craved a little sun today did you?”
There was no real reason why Ezekiel was an ass. He just was. It was fun and it was easy. People didn’t go out of their way to talk to you when you were a jerk. They didn’t try to be friends with you. It was lovely to be able to be left alone and not bothered at all.

Wow were these people entertaining. It was like an reality TV show down here. Luna was waiting to be voted off the island at any moment, too bad she had a really juicy bargaining chip. She had a feeling she would have a permanent smirk on her face with these people as she listened to their various believes on trust.
”The beautiful thing is you don’t need trust to listen to what someone has to say. You simply need ears,” she said and looked at Havok, a perfectly innocent smile on her face now. ”And a brain to interpret.” She hadn’t given these people a single reason not to trust her but she didn’t care anyway. She had a message to deliver and a desire to help them, whether they believed her or not.
”Xavier has information from a reliable source, don’t bother asking I already tried to weasel it out of him, that perfect Sebastian Shaw is behind the Hound Program. The Hound program, if you haven’t heard of it, takes mutants, mostly those who won’t be missed,” Luna paused and looked pointedly around the room they were in before looking back at Veil. ”And injects them with some sort of drug or chemical that turns them into a near unstoppable weapon.”
When Luna had first heard this information from Xavier she was overcome with a severe amount of anger and then disappointment. Shaw hadn’t always been like this, honestly every villain didn’t start out bad. They had hopes, dreams… family. But people, the world could easily take something that mattered away from you and that’s it. You either switch everything off or you fight like hell so the world doesn’t win.
”Even though I demanded to wait for Veil, this is information that you may chose to do whatever you wish with. Call Xavier and double check the facts if you wish, take to the streets and ask questions, I don’t care. The point is, we’re running out of time. I have connections I am willing to use but there’s that pesky problem of trust,” Luna said and looked at them all.

Cayden ate his meal while he happily watched the kids devour their’s. They were talking happily with each other, feeling safe and relaxed despite the poor accommodations. In Cayden’s eyes, as long as there was a roof over his head, this was the good life. He looked over at Negasonic when she made a connection between his name and Michael Jackson. He grinned and shook his head.
”Don’t get me wrong, the man has talent. I can’t dance or sing like him though. No, one of my abilities is to dreamwalk and most people dream at night right? So Moon and then walker. Although maybe one day I’ll be like Armstrong and walk the moon, then follow up with moonwalking,” Cayden laughed. It really wasn’t funny, it was awful even but Cayden had this act of just being himself, regardless of the implications or what others would say about him. He just was.

Antoinette watched Princess Wanda run off after the criminals. She worried her bottom lip and looked between where Wanda ran off to and the crowd that formed around the Queen. She wasn’t sure where she should go or what she should even do. Her powers weren’t exactly for combat and Antoinette had never really fought in her life. She ultimately decided to respect the Princess’s wishes and hurried over to the Queen’s side.
She came up behind Carolina and latched onto her friends arm, seeing the tail end of October healing the Queen. Antoinette leaned with Carolina as she kissed October’s cheek and Antoinette got a good look at the Queen and her condition.
”I don’t think those people are going to try anything else tonight Carolina,” Antoinette said to her friend. There was chaos everywhere but it seemed to be orderly. People were going after the assailants or they were standing around the members of the royal family, playing lookout and guard. No one else was going to be able to hurt the royal family tonight.
”That being said, perhaps it would be good to get the Queen out of here to a more relaxed, less stimulating environment.” Antoinette continued to hang onto Carolina, feeling uneasy and on edge in this highly chaotic situation. Her blue eye started to glow brightly as her enhanced intuition began to search out for any other signs of conflict arising.

Cuyler Eysteinsson

Location: The Palace Lounge -- Asgard
Skills:

Life on Asgard had become exceptional to Cuyler. He thrived here, learning more about his ability from his mother and a more intimate understanding of the history. His family history. With his growing ability there came a growing confidence within himself and Cuyler had grown into quite the fighter. He protected and served Asgard with his life and although most missions tended to be more training, Cuyler handled everything seriously when it came down to it. He liked going on missions and helping Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. It was a whole other world fighting and learning alongside them.
Today however was a reprieve from all that learning and training. Cuyler stood with his back to the dart board, showing off a bit and turned around at the last second and threw his last dart, aiming for the bullseye. He came up short however and cursed himself. This game of darts was a bit advanced though, for there were obstacles in the way and one could also use their power to aid them in achieving their ends. It was a far more entertaining game this way.
Halley walked into the room, interrupting Cuyler and Arnora’s fun. Cuyler and Halley had become, tolerant of each other but that was about it. Cuyler felt like she still didn’t trust him or his ability. Whatever the problem was, it seemed she would have to put her feelings aside for she needed their help. Cuyler would have to thank his mother for the mission. He looked at the projected image, having seen the thing before. At the very least it looked familiar. Cuyler’s eyes shone when Halley announced that Loki had been the one to take the object. Excellent. Ever since Loki had made an appearance at Myth and Bruce’s wedding, he had wanted to get his hands on the trickster. Sure he had been a sort of role model and teacher for his mother but he was also a problem and disrupted the balance. Not to mention making his mother uneasy. The only problem Cuyler had with this mission was the idea of returning to Midgard. Much had changed and Cuyler had pretty much moved past Arya, immersing himself in his studies but he still wasn’t seeing anyone else.
The hologram faded and Cuyler met Halley’s eyes. ”Do you have an idea where on Midgard he could be?”

Children’s laughter and screaming filled the Palace courtyard. Bonfire night was one of those nights that everyone was allowed beyond the Palace walls and could mingle freely with the royals. Which meant a bigger headache for the commander of the Palace Guard. Amarantha stalked around the fire, watching as dolls were thrown in and then people moved off to drink their cider. Crime had spiked within the Castle and unrest was growing outside the Castle walls with two of the Castle’s enemies doing whatever they could to cause headaches. Of course most of the information was privileged and with Fleur still not showing her face, the unrest there had died down some. However, Amarantha made sure to still have eyes and ears open for any movement on that front.
Her eyes scanned the perimeter, watching for her men and woman’s positions before she went back to her own. Myrus found an old companion and so Amarantha attached herself to Antonije. Her green cloak billowed around her as she moved to stand beside the white haired man. When he reappeared Amarantha nearly cried with delight. She still had no idea what they would be fighting but she knew who and so she knew what she would need from him.
”How is the progress going on my latest request?” She wanted Fleur disorientated when it finally came to the fight they were all expecting and so she required some sort of sensory deprivation tool in order to achieve these means.

Titan was guarding Princess Luna still, Lennox was several paces behind Prince Myrus in the Palace Courtyard and Phoenix and Alcott are guarding Queen Valda, wherever she is.

For months Ahote had been combing through papers on his down time from tutoring the Prince. Any information on the ring or witch defense was everything that he was looking for. Although recently he had started looking up fire and the control of that. There was a baby, Dawn was her name. She had developed a nasty habit of setting things on fire and with his advanced ability, Amarantha seemed to think that problem was right up his alley as well. Thing was, Ahote never dealt with baby’s who had a power before. His people developed their power when they were much older and were trained for years before that in order to handle their power. Trying to tell a baby no you can’t burn that, was like telling glue to not dry. It wasn’t exactly a science. Mostly Ahote just ran around putting things on fire out and keeping the little thing as calm as possible.
For the moment, Ahote was getting some more information on old ruins and symbols in his head while he got ready for the bonfire. Everyone was excited for this night. Including Myrus. Ahote had helped build up the various bonfires as well and was eager to get his hands on some hot cider and converse with people throughout the Castle. He had made various friends but stuck mostly with the royal family and Palace Guard. He had created a sort of family here and with the Prince’s progress in his emotion and now power, everyone seemed to be a little more accepting of the True North native. Ahote finally decided to call it a night with research and put his papers away before he dressed in warmer clothing and headed out of his room.

A smirk remained on Luna’s face while she continued this little stare down with Havok. He was rather interesting, feeling the need to protect everyone here, even though they could all handle themselves quite well. The more she stared, the more Luna wanted to ‘glimpse’ (hence the name) into his mind to see what exactly made him tick. However, that wouldn’t help her cause. Spark Plug re-explained who her father was, as if saying once again who he was would help her case with Havok. No, the pair stared at each other in silence until Veil finally showed up. Luna finally looked away, watching Veil walk across the floor with her companion. They had definitely seen better days, but they had both gotten away and came bearing food. Veil finally came over and introduced herself but Luna had gone back to staring at Havok, weighing her options.
Veil’s companion wandered off and made a phone call. She returned a short while later informing the group that she had just spoken to Luna’s aunt. She cocked her head at Sapphire, curious as to how the girl knew her aunt but that question would have to come later. Now Luna had to explain why she was here. Luna pushed herself to her feet, since Veil had taken her hand back but Luna wouldn’t have taken the offered hand to begin with.
”I’ve been told several times that whatever I have to say to you can be said in front of everyone. Does that hold true or would you rather speak in private?”

Cayden grinned at Callie and went to sit down beside her. She agreed with him and was complimenting him on a job well done. So far, his first day in D.C. was shaping up well.
”Is he always like this?” Cayden spoke to Callie in hushed tones in regards to Havok. Poor guy needed to wear less tight pants or something.
Veil and Sapphire walked in a few minutes later bearing food. His mouth started to water from all the smells. However, there was no red bag of Doritos. Oh well. He would have to snatch a bag on his own. Cayden got up to look over some of the food and steal a burger when Callie introduced him to Veil. He turned and looked at the actual boss lady and smiled warmly.
”Pleasure,” he said and shook her hand happily. He liked it here and seriously hoped he could be of more help in the future to this group of people. The Underground did some serious good work and he just wanted to give a better life to mutants. Everyone deserved that. Cayden picked out a burger and a small thing of fries for himself before he gathered up an unopened, full bag.
”I’ll go give this to the kiddos. Doritos are delicious but hardly filling,” he said and wandered off. As much as he wanted to know what the mysterious daughter of Captain Britain had to say, he wasn’t fully sure he would be allowed to hear privileged information as that. He did just show up today after all.
