9 am

"We got a problem" Mark said as the door was shut, keeping out unwanted ears, the mere thought of Elsa building such a massive palace complex was one thing, but to also house a zoo within it was something else entirely

"What kind of problem ?" Naratas asked

"Elsa apparently has a zoo inside her palace" Mark replied, Nara raised an eyebrow, OK, that wasnt something one heard every day.

Nara raised a hand and pointed thoughtfully at Mark "That... is not something one hears every day" He said

"Tell me about it" Mark replied, he ran a hand through his hair "Georgina went only so far until finding the kitchens then snuck out a window to get back to me. Later today she's going to try again while we distract the guards in the area" he explained, he nodded to Nara "That's where you and Diamond come in"

"Let me guess, you want us to fly overhead, or sheer distraction attacks ?" Nara asked, as a Force Dragon, Elsas magic couldnt harm him, nor could Kaldas gravity control skill

"Neither and both"

"I dont follow"

"We need distractions yes, but theres other things we need, the people for one thing, taken to safety. Once Elsa is desthroned we might have to leave Arendelle, abandon the kingdom entirely." Mark said, he'd spoken deep into the night with his mother, uncle and aunt on what to do.

"And if we do end up doing just that three million years of history, gone ?" Naratas replied calmly as he paced the rear hall of the tavern

"We will take what history with us as we are able, but Elsa will not be the queen. She is too corrupted now, even if I could get her to give up the sceptre..." Mark said

"So we take down the queen, but instead of putting a new and proper queen in her place, we leave the kingdom in ruin and act as exiles ?" Nara mused "Where would we go ? West ? South ? East ?"

"Southeast, to Gilja, the Brotherhood has a strong precense there as far as I am aware" Mark said

"So we go to Gilja, then what ?" Nara didnt sound convinced of the plan, for lack of a better term, it sucked

"We'll worry about that then, until then I want you to oversee packing up for as many people as you can" Mark told him

"And Diamond ?" Nara asked

"Diamond will fly overwatch and distract where needed" Mark said

"As far as plans go, it sucks" Nara grunted

"I agree, it also stinks the matter of the palace" Mark said in reply

"What do you mean ?" Nara asked

"Elsas magic is holding the structure together, and we found a back way in, odds are good however that its guarded carfully but made to look like it has no real guards keeping careful watch on the place"

"You want me to go in and scope it out before Princess Jiajia goes in ?" Nara offered

Mark shook his head "No, too dangerous, Georgina said its a maze inside, and ontop of that, Elsa has a zoo of exotic animals inside. No, right now I want you to fly overwatch, find Elsas armies and sodiers, use your magic to point them out to Spyder and Fuiu, I sent them on the task to root out the commanding officers of each unit they come across at the army camps" Mark said

"Alright, so I fly and find, Diamond flies and distracts, Georgina sneaks in while the guards are distracted, what about you ?" Naratas said giving Mark a good hard look

"What about me ?" Mark asked in reply

"Permission to speak freely ?" Nara asked, Mark nodded "First off you dont look good, you've been driving and pushing yourself to get Elsa dethroned and Arendelle back to its former glory which might not even happen, and you've negelcted yourself, personal hygiene is gone out the window, You got dark circles under your eyes like you havent slept for a good full peaceful night. And your wife is clearly worried because she just stepped into the dining area and is conversing with your sister on something" Nara said vertaban

"Alright, so, I need sleep, thats a given, I cant do this on my own, yes I know that..." Mark said

Nara cut him off "No, what you need to do, right now, is take a break, sit back, relax, think, but dont overthink" He said

Mark looked at him, knowing his brother in law was right, Mark needed a break. He finally nodded "Alright, call off Georgina, find her, tell her to wait a day, I will spend my day with my wife, Infact, Nara, until tomorrow, you're in charge, See you then" Mark patted Nara on the shoulder, yawned and stepped back into the dining area of the tavern

"We have a problem" Talak said as Mark wrapped an arm around her, Spike had found a few things waiting in several key areas of the kingdom

"Problem ?" Mark asked sleep heavy in his tone as Naratas looked to Talak as he too returned to the dining area

"What kind of problem ?" The Force Dragon asked, taking all of Talaks attention

"Its about Georgina, she left after breakfast to begin her hunt to map out the palace maze for Mark later, she took the key Arm made as well." Talak said "I worry for her how things might come of it"

"I know what you mean, either way, for today, Mark put me in charge, and I suggested he get some rest, so, that said, Lady Wolfe, please take your husband to bed, and try to keep him there at least until tomorrow morning ?" Naratas said, he'd keepo track of Georgina and everything else. "Oh and let Spike have some fun too, I think my enhancements to her .45s should be helpful" Nara had enhanced a few dozen clips of Spikes favorite pistols to be nearly endless. Talak nodded "In the meantime, Diamond and I will map out where there are army bases training many soldiers, mark out the targets for the Spiders to handle on the ground as well."

Before Mark could protest that plan Talak pretty much gagged him and dragged him from the tavern to head to a place to sleep back in their rented home. Blackmane saw the two enter and didnt say anything as Mark was entirely supported by his wife. Blackmane also said nothing concerning Talak being his wife, maybe it indeed was fate that put them together ?

It didnt matter, Blackmane heard the sounds of three crazy furballs in the living room and peeked from the kitchen as Mark and Talak went upstairs. She watched the three play, Miao, her adopted daughter so to speak, playing with Serena and her twin sister Serenity.

Moments later and Sazhori arrived, she looked a bit worried, "Is something wrong ?"

"Yes, is the Princess here ?"

"Which one ?"

"Not funny panther" Sazhori said with a glare at the black haired woman.

"Anna isnt in Arendelle anymore, and I do not know where the Chinese Princess has gone off to" Blackmane said with a gentle smile

"Gosh Damnit" Sazhori swore then. "Mark wanted her to wait until tomorrow to sneak into the palace again, we found a back way in, but Mark was told to relax for a day, he'd been pushing himself too hard" Sazhori explained as Blackmane gave her a confused look

"That explains why his wife all but carried him to bed upstairs, do not disturb them, If you know what is good for you" Blackmane said

A moment later and Auji stumbled down the stairs, "Mom's still asleep" He said as he'd overhead the question. "She was up late last night with the two spider demons, nice ladies but Xeibos mine" Auji said, which made Sazhori smile at the mention, Xeibo had been busy with Naratas to keep things civil in the city at the very least however she spent a lot of time with Auji

"Well, when she wakes up, tell her to wait until tomorrow to infiltrate the palace." Sazhori said to him, Auji nodded and watched the raven take her leave of the house

The night before had been a strange one for the sleeping woman. The night before she had a long talk with Spyder and Fuiu about things. Mostly things she wondered about, namely, since they were demons, didnt they get some form of redemption ? But it wasnt exactly redemption or damnation they were worried about, it was only a matter of getting back to a place they only knew of in legends, Arcadia. Spyder spoke of it as paradise.

Georgina thought paradise was the tropics, however the tropics were also home to hurricanes. But, Spyder had pointed out that Arcadia is like the tropics, but no bad weather, occasional some rain showers sure, but nothing outright destructive like Earth storms

But Arcadia, just thinking about it made both Demons want to be there at that moment. And yet they couldnt just up and open a portal there, that wasnt really possible. Demons had magic, in a way

But then the conversation changed rather dramatically when Fuiu was saddened by the fact they couldnt travel to Arcadia so easily, the simple paths had been long lost to them, Arcadia it seemed was also the Mythic Realm as far as Georgina was concerned.

But no it did not matter too much, as the conversation then steered to their assigned tasks, Georgina had planned to infiltrate the palace a second time and get in deeper than before

Her only problem was then to once more get inside. She had it planned sure, but just getting in there wasnt going to be easy. Sure getting in the last time was easy, stupidly so for that matter now that she really thought about it. But it didnt matter at that moment as their talk had gone into the night., It was about two am the next morning when she had gone to bed.

So she was still asleep. And even though she was to go and sneak into the palace again at sunrise, when it was least guarded. Georgina instead slept like a rock. She just couldnt wake up in time to do her mission.

Xeibo stepped down the stairs to the main floor of the house. Her silver white hair loose about her shoulders for once instead of in a headband. "Your mother is still asleep, I tripped over her in the bedroom" There wasnt enough beds it seemed for the seemingly ever growing family that Mark possessed.

Though it had saddened xeibo to learn that her grandfather, Marcus Wolfe, was dead, the man that did it was also dead, but it didnt bring Marcus back. Marion was gone too, in her place was Diamond

Blackmane set bacon and eggs on the table. Thanks to Fuiu and Spyder, there was far more food ot eat than normal which allowed them to feed their family more. But it didnt really matter much at that moment.

"That is good" Sazhori replied simply "Mark wants her to wait until tomorrow before going back in there" She explained over breakfast Auji nodded, it'd give him more time with his mother, he hadnt seen her in months

It was towards lunchtime when Georgina came downstairs, she found her son in the front room with Blackmane and Xeibo, planning out something important. Seeing her Auji spoke "Morning Mom, listen, Mark said to tell you to not worry of going into elsas palace today, he's taking a break, wants everyone execept the spiders and dragons to run interference and search missions until after breakfast tomorrow" he said

Georgina nodded "So we have an afternoon to kill" She mused

"Looks like it, want to join us ?" Blackmane had used a little bit of magic to make a three dimensional model of the Palace entry grounds complex

"Whats going on ?" Georgina asked as she took a seat

"Planning lines of sight for snipers to attack the palace when Mark gives a singnal of some kind..." Blackmane said

"At which point he'd use the map I route out for him once I get through the palace" Georgina said

"Odds are good you wont survive, but, we'll see" Blackmane replied

"I personally think its a fools errand Mother, going into that palace, alone, no backup, no GPS mark, just you and your skills, and that key" Auji said

"I agree, but its Marks only path in. so I will do it... tonight actually" Georgina said, using some of her own magic she moved the map slightly "This was the way I went in yesterday afternoon, the spiders left their web on the south wall, its there, just unseen. I can go at it tonight, very few guards if any for that matter, and scout the path for Mark in the morning"

"Unless something else comes of it" Blackmane mused as Georgina reached to the coffee table and picked up a few sticks of incense and lit them one by one. The smell of incense had once permated her own home there in Arendelle

"So I think what I will do is go in tonight, scout the path, then send it to Mark via wristphone." Georgina said, the others at the map nodded in agreement, even though Auji had his doubts.

Six hours later

Kingdom of Arendelle

Palace complex

Georgina snuck in again, this time the distraction of the guards was parmount, something was going on in the fjord easy to see from the dungeon allowed Georgina to easily slip into the massive structure. Moving through the structure unseen allowed Georgina to get to a certain point in the private zoo Elsa kept before heading upwards and moving through a upper hallway to get where she needed to be.

She was right, there were less guards, she barely saw any she had to sneak past. Once or twice she silently slit the guards throats she came across before coming to the key chamber.

It was indeed a puzzle, she had no idea how much time she had to get through it either. Sliding Arms key into the slot she started twisting it level by level to get the puzzel correct to properly slot the key to unlock the door to the main part of the castle.

She was almost home free. She mentally kept track of each turn of the puzzle and wrote it down for Mark in her phone. She had no idea she was being watched, she removed the key, reset the lock to scramble it once more and headed out.

And walked right into a trap. "Well well well" Came a sultry voice, that of the Queen "I did not think I would see you again... " Georgina twirled around and stared as Elsa stepped into view. Her heart hammered "You thought I didnt think I had a way for someone like you to get in so easily now did you ?" Georgina didnt answer as Elsa smiled thinly "No matter" She said darkly she waved her soldiers back and drew a sword "Come, lets... spar" Elsa said

Georgina knew she had to leave, she had to flee. But she couldnt,. No, she had a chance. A fools chance. She drew her sword. Elsa and Georgina stood apart from each other. Georgina then smiled. "Well, looks like I came to do what I intended" She said

"And that was ?" Elsa asked her

"I came her to smoke incense, and kick ass" Georgina said. She patted her hip, then frowned "And I am all out of incense" She grumbled.

Elsa smirked, settled briefly, then struck, the two women ran at each other faster than anything the guards with the queen had ever seen in their lives. Never had they seen the queen move so quickly before.

Elisa slid on her feet on the smooth tile floor as she and Georgina connected, swords ready, both women had their backs to the other. But only one of them had blood on their sword. Elsa, barely breaking a sweat, muchless her own skin, slowly stood and turned as Georgina faltered, breathing hard as a line of red was upon her neck

A moment later and Georgina collapsed onto the floor, dead. Elsa sighed, her sword disappearing she nodded to the commander of the guard nearby. "Take her, dump her where the others with her will find her. Take the key, take her map. Go to London and enjoy a show. You earned it" Elsa said. The man nodded the orders given to the men as Georgina was roughly picked up and dragged away. Her critical gear, the knowledge of the key, the key itself, kept safely with the commander

Twenty minutes later and Auji, with Xeibo found her body and took her back home carefully avoiding guards everywhere they went. Thankfully her earpiece had recorded the conversation. So Auji started his plans right then and there
