[My Note 1: This one is half empty, for now. I keep fiddling with epicness levels for Harry Dresden and his team.]
The mist was starting to fall on the river bank on which emerged. What was a stream in the real world, was a small river here, a river which lead to the enemy location. It was a frickin' castle, squat, with two taller spires packed with anti-air magic. Key started to chant something and move in a wild and sensual sort of dance. The mist became thicker, turning into almost impenetrable fog, as was planned. Katie waved at us from the water and we followed her upstream. The unpleasant smell got worse as we got closer to the fortress. It was the smell of a dirty and polluted pond. The strange sounds, yells and weeping also became stronger.
After half an hour or so of hard terrain and horrible smells, we finally got to a hole in the wall. It was unguarded and covered with a stone grille. Katie moved through it easily enough, but it was too narrow for us to pass. Mel glanced at Key.
Key immediately waded into the water and touched it with both hands. She closed her eyes and the hairs on the back of my neck prickled as the power was being pumped.
"Ilech ilech, ilech ilech, ilech ilech…" Key whispered rhythmically. The water level started to drop, as if it was being blocked behind the grille.
"Alech. Alech. Alech, alech alelech. Alech. Alech. Alech, alech alelech…" Key changed the tune and the rhythm, locked in some sort of trance. Mel weaved a complicated sign in the air, leaving ice crystals in the mist.
"Eryam!" She said, and it sounded too loud to me, thanks to previous whispering. I looked around but it didn't seem that we were heard.
"Ilech! Ber. Beber!" Key said, as if replying. A torrent came through the grille, followed by a huge chunk of ice. The stream slowly returned to normal flow, only much cleaner than it was before. And it left a hole we could all pass through.
We heard Katie giggle on the other side of it, slightly farther away. It was an eerie sound. And then cries and weeping and hysterical laughter slowed. Then quieted and finally stopped. We stepped into the stream then through the impromptu doorway. Krom went in first then Key then the rest of us.
We only had to walk a few steps before we reached the first alarm system. Chained to the bricked bed of the stream sat Fomor captives. Katie was flitting from one to another, whispering, tickling, a calming touch here, a gentle word there as she calmed them.
[My note: Write your own adventure! There is nothing cool I can write in this mission that would do Harry Dresden leading a black ops team of sidhe justice and give it awesomeness it deserves. The only thing you need to know is that Harry usually gets hurt during these (but not too much) and so do people around him. Action! Excitement! Awesome magic!
Anyway the result is this: anti-air towers are disabled, Krom went towards extraction point B to take the pursuit away from the rest of the team. Mel gave a necklace to Matt who flew away to extraction point A. The rest of the team is drawing fire from extraction point A and taking the pursuit towards middle point between extraction points A and B. One day, I will write this chapter properly]
