*a knocking is heard at the mysterious locked door*

<>

~~~Lord Craxus, Polonius Franc has gotten into a bit of trouble in the library. Seems he's found a secret door that's magically sealed, and he's asking for you m'lord.~~~

*Thinks of Lady Elandra.*


~~~I will try to get their shortly. See what you can do there. I think I may have a little bit of an issue with Lady Shaylar here.~~~


*Turns to address LAdy Shaylar.*


*Remains seated at the small dining table and puts down the parchment he's been reading.*


What right do you have to question my authority. I knew the Fies were starting to act different, and I wanted to see how the people would respond to the magical presence of the Fies...

With Lady Lumien handleing the plague...well I think shes doing quite well. She has handled it greatly and that is why she's on the high council, or will be don't tell her. I left her by herself and gave her 2 books of ancient text that were written before the guild was even created. She has read the books and used them to guide her through the healing profession. I wanted to teach her to rely on herself rather than coming to me with help. And now look at her....

The apprentices, well the masters are suppose to go out and find their apprentices someone whom they can work well with. I wanted the higher up magicians to sort of form a parenting relationship with their apprentices a bond...

Well with Lord Lycan and Lord Wolf...there is nothing I can do for them. I could seperate them but that would seem childish, they will be at each others throats for many good years to come. It will only get worse, they could settle it once and for all in a Formal Guild Challenge. Where two magicians challenge each other to a duel in the guild arena, people can watch i'll explain it if it gets to it.

With Elandra and Lycans relation ship well...that's their business and not mine.

Outpost Kalsho was suppose to be given reinforcments and 10 extra engineers to rebuild it and fortify it. The king has just reashured me that they are just leaving. Looks at the calender on the wall. They will be leaving on Firstday (like our Mondays).

Anymore problems you think we have?

*Lumien stands up, more than a little stunned, and still pale. She walks as quietly as she can back to her quarters (which is pretty quiet, considering she used to be a theif)*

I'll tell you why I questioned your authority because no one else has the bal............erm............nerve to do it, I came to you beacuse there are mutterings from some people here and in the outposts about you not showing your face, not being around when you're needed, have you ever asked Lady Lumien if she would like help, Lady Lumien is a little shy so she would never have come to you so instead she went to Polonius who gave hhhher all the help she needed infact lots of people are going to Polonius with their problems, me included, maybe if you were a bit more approachable they'd come to you with their problems instead of going to the local shopkeeper, do you want to be known as the guild leader who was in name only because thhat's what you're indanger of becoming

I do not want your job, I'm just telling you what is going on out there as you seem to spend most of your time in seclusion

*Curtsey's*

I'm sorry My Lord but it had to be said, please forgive me but no one else would have said this and the guild would have split in two

*A guard runs in, almost falling over*

[guard] LORD CRAXUS!

*pants and sways on his feet, after the exertion of running so quickly to his chambers*

[guard] Lord, my lord, the king, he's dead! And the queen! Killed in their sleep! The city's in a panic m'lord! Please, what are we to do m'lord? *sways again*

<>

Oh My God, My Lord our disagreement can wait, what news of the palace guards, what do they know of the intruders

[guard] They, they don't know how it happened, I went in this morning and, and, he was DEAD! *shouts this last word agitatedly, he's obviously distressed*

*looks down*

I, I apologise m'lord, milady.

Lady Shaylar, will you excuse me I must go to the Palace.


If you could, talk to Lady Elandra and tell her the news something tells me they were trying to hit the main military leader...


Oh and Lady Shaylar, would you like to head up the reconstruction of Outpost Kalsho...if you want too, head there and take some time off helping them. I must take my leave now.


*The high Lord leaves and heads off to the palace.*

*A broadcast mind message comes through.*

~~~I'm in the marketplace, and I need assistance. There is a panic over a report that the King is dead. Can anyone confirm?~~~

~~~Yes it is true~~~

And you are NOT going to shunt me off to some outpost because I tell it like it is, anyway I can't go because I have Apprentices to teach and as you obviously don't want my help I will be on my way

*Curtsey's*

Good day sir

*Leaves*
