[Haspen]

Suddenly the castle shook as bright, white light shone from somewhere above the windows.

The key fit perfectly and the door opened with a quiet click. It was leading to a small balcony, and from the balcony, a thin set of stairs led to a lone-standing tower, from which the light was emanating before dissipating.

"Hopefully, everything will be solved up there."

The group, determined to finish Prixima's vile reign once and for all, began to march out and climb the stairs...

*kzzzzzttt*

~~Chapter 11x: Splits and Reunions~~

IN THE PAST BUT NOT THAT FAR AGO:

The white light dissipated and Gregor, Mannan, and all others were gone. The runes on the floor vanished and Magister Tiron took a deep breath, happy to finish his incantations.

Cold wind blew across the ruined manor; Matilda rubbed her hands together for a bit.

"So... what now? Do we wait until they come back from the castle?" She asked, looking at the foreboding forest far to the north-west; a black spire of highest tower of Kesselring was barely visible in this cloudy morning background.

//Gregor's party is no longer active!
//Olison Eul, Valor Inara, Seyena Ikane, Alexander Jorinn and Salvatore Vaughan are in!

[CrimsonEon]

Olison's gaze quietly passed over the horizon. He knew the limitations prevented him from going, but he felt a tinge of irritation in passing up the chance.
: "It's out of our hands now..." He paused, thinking over Matilda's question for a moment before turning to the Magister, "I don't suppose the escape plan involved another casting of that spell, did it?"

[Haspen]

"If I had time to manufacture third crystal, then I could keep it on me and do the ritual again. Unfortunately I was contacted on short notice... didn't had enough time."

Danya let out a hum.

"I have other concerns. What if a Kesselring patrol winds up here? I don't mind killing some armed thugs, but I would prefer not being surprised by enemies. I think we should scout around or at least have few of us checking the perimeter every few minutes."

[Xanmyral]

"Who'd yah suggest ta scout? Me an' Ormm can do it if'in need be, but we ain' much on bein' 'ard ta see 'owever, don' take much ta notice ah golden wyvern in the sky."

The wyvern knight patted the golden wyvern's side at the mention of him, with Ormm finally turning its attention away from where the group used to be before they vanished.

[CrimsonEon]

Olison sighed a little in disappointment, but nevertheless stood at attention as Danya voiced her concern.
: "On that, I agree." The cavalier nodded, briefly looking outside to his grazing warhorse, "I would suggest either myself or Seyena to scout in that case. Having been under employ here, I believe I still know the area well enough to stay out of trouble."

[Haspen]

"Pegasi would do better than the wyvern in this... setting. Even flying just above trees would make us hard to spot. I can watch and scout around, and the blonde here good help as well." Danya nodded toward Seyena.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"..." Valor said nothing. He had come all this way to kill Prixima, not sit in some ruins while people he knew did it for him.

[Powder Miner]

Alexander sat there, thinking to himself while his friends battled in the castle.
:"...You know... it's probably better that I hadn't had to fight through that castle. How many people there do I know...?"

[Haspen]

"Dear, if they're at least half decent as you are, I don't think they would stay with Prixima for long."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander smiles at Anja.
:"Thanks. ...I just wonder how many never got the choice to get out."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor thumped a fist against a nearby wall. "I still wish I could have gone." Then he was silent for a few more moments before releasing an emphatic sigh. "Magic sucks."

[Haspen]

"I will go then and take watch over the south. The blonde can take the north... when she wakes up." With audible grumble, Danya mounted her pegasus and took off to the skies.

"She seems a bit stuck-up and arrogant." Matilda spoke quietly at Olison's side.

@Alex:

"Hey, Alex, dear? Did you think... about our plans for the future, hmm? I'm not particularily a person to settle down for long time..."

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena awoke with a start - she had been taking a catnap, leaning on the familiar grey pegasus.

"Wh- yeah, yeah, North..."


"This sucks." She muttered, climbing on Ilya, and sleepily spurring the steed high into the air, in the opposite direction Danya had taken off from.

[Powder Miner]

Somehow, Alexander took this mostly in stride.
:"...you know... After this, I don't really know if I could settle down for a civilian life, honestly. So... ...I guess I'd travel with you, right?"

[Haspen]

@Alex:

Anja clapped her hands together.

"You would, really? Ah, it would be wonderful! Imagine us, together, traveling from town to town in our big wagon, with at least ten kids! We would be mercenaries and performers! Or something of that kind."

@Seyena:

After Seyena took into the air, she could make a run and a circle and everything in the air, the pegasus seemingly happy to take flight in less than tense moment.

And Seyena could easily notice at least a squadron of people slowly making their way between the trees, coming from the north-east. It was evident that they were sneaking upon the manor for some reason, and that they will arrive there within minutes. All of them, whilst definitely being a mix of mages and soldiers and archers, had the same crest - Kesselring.
