Soron and the others slowly pulled themselves up from the floor. They had
seen things from Alexandria's eyes, but yet they had seen everything as if
they were standing on the outside looking in. "Every one okay?"
"Define okay." Cerena moaned softly and spread out her wings once she got
to standing. "So who wants to go greet the new girl?"
Soron tried lifting his hand and grabbing the pillow from the couch but
could barely move. Fae and Elven magic didn't always mix to well. He cursed
the Fairies standing about him, being half breeds power lashes like this
didn't affect them as much. "I thought using magic like that was outlawed?"
Among several occupants being dragged through Alexandria's own personal
memory many relived there own dark secrets. Normally none of them wouldn't
have to worry about that happening but this had come from outside control.
Actually this power only came from a Fae who could wield both the dark arts
and what was know as the light arts. But every Fae born after Alden's time
had been banished for even trying to learn the dark arts.
Aline just raised her head, she had more Fae in her then what her husband
and Cerena both had. "I think that did come from the new girl." Shaking her
head lightly she gazed a bit about the room, for some reason she hadn't
gotten as shocked as the others. "The dark arts were banned to all except
for the chosen few who only learned it if their was cause. One Fae of all
Fae would know it's secrets at all time, becoming a teacher if the power
was to be passed on or if the power was needed for a battle of survival."
Kullnack blinked wearily at his wife, "And you know this how?"
"I paid attention in class." Aline held out her arm to Cerena who looked
like she was about to fall over. "Alden was the last known Fae to use the
dark arts but that was against Branion the above ground Fae who threatened
all of the kingdoms. He could have taught it to his Granddaughter."
Soron who has almost managed to stand completely up fell back into his
chair. "So whose his Granddaughter?"
Aline rolled her eyes, honestly she wondered how some of them survived in
their positions. "Jareth's niece. Which she would only be his niece if her
parent's didn't have any magic. And by what we just saw it can be safe to
assume they didn't. Which means that Alden would have taken her under as
daughter status."
"And that would mean that she is one Fae no one wants to mess with,
right?" Soron blinked and then stood up, a cool wash of calm had just
descended through the castle.
"Yes. Let us just thank everything we hold dear that we're the only
kingdoms here as of yet."
"Let us also thank that Lord Corsair, Lady Elia, and King Jareth all know
how to do quite a powerful calming spell." Cerena smiled which after a few
moments started to fade. "They added a forget spell to it."
"Only a light one...probably to take out most of the unpleasantness. We
should go see King Jareth first and find out exactly who all saw what we
saw. Although I find it highly unlikely that any goblin's saw her memories
and were just stuck with their own. But we must worry of our own people and
make sure that no one of them twist this information to their own will."
Aline looked between the group and smiled faintly when they nodded.
"Well lead on my lovely wife and after the rest of us recover we'll join
you." Kullnack tried to smile but it just hurt too much. So did thinking
but thankfully he never did try to think much. Collapsing into the chair
next to Soron the two of them shared a pillow between heads, groaning
lightly.
Cerena rolled her eyes and followed out after Aline. "What ever did happen
to Branion?"
Aline looked troubled at the question. She was only a child when the
incident happened but she could remember it very well. Her parent's
screaming and trying to hide her from him, the various lords and ladies
fighting to save themselves. A few holding their dead children in their
arms. She could remember the light of the spell that started to drain ones
power but then turns and gives so much power both castor and recipient were
in danger of losing their lives if not just their powers. "No one truly
knows."
Cerena looked at her friend and her small answer. Reaching over she softly
touched Aline's hand. "Sometimes I'm glad I was too small to remember it.
But other times it is like these when I wish I remember my parents." She
gave a light smile but then turned to see where they were walking. Catching
a glimpse of a open door she peaked in and saw Lady Elia and Lord Corsair
holding a sobbing girl. One who held the form and stature of a toy brought
back to life.
