Two days later The Blue Fairy paid Trian a visit. She was not in the best of moods as it had taken her quite some time to locate their old semi-gothic mansion by the lake. The mansion was mostly in stone and superficially looked like Prince Victor's heap, however there were brick extensions housing the laboratories, machine shop, self watering conservatory and greenhouses, and stabling for the bikes. Dragon's didn't mind horses (though not to eat), but not to ride; too much bouncing up and down. In the basement there was the secret stuff, and the not so secret deluxe dungeon and "fun" torture chamber, every fashion accessory for the Demented Tyrant in Training.
The Blue Fairy had had to locate Trian via his magic aura, which had been quite difficult even though he was not cloaking; self cloaking was draining for the inexperienced. As their mansion and its laboratories were psi screened she had been forced to search blindly in the woods for him, even though there was a road connection to Storybrooke. Her news was not good. It was going to take some time to obtain everything, and they would need Regina's help. Not a prospect that The Blue Fairy was looking forward to. She wanted Trian, and Kelly, to approach Regina. In fact, Trian had been wondering if lying low was Kelly's best option as he had just received a disturbing scrying from Rex over the Internet; Adelind was loose. And then there was The Dark One being back in Storybrook. Fortunately it meant that he would not need to go after the baby, however he would have to be watched until His plans were revealed. A good thing that trained Dragons Lords could go invisible and that, for all his power, The Dark One had no psi abilities. Still, he had dug out the palantier from the basement.
After The Blue Fairy had gone, Trian burned that and two other scrying data packets onto separate DVD's and went down to the "off limits" basement laboratory. Opening a concealed storage room he rummaged around until he found two old relics, a Dragon Bracer of Motion and a Dragon Bracer of Instant Movement. Casting a transformation spell to convert the bracers into aesthetic wrist cuffs, he then practised with the Bracer of Instant Movement. Although it was intended to teleport objects to and from the hand of the wearer, it could be used for self teleportation if there was sufficient magic and one had memorised suitable destination points. Trian wanted it as a precaution, Unlike Regina and other powerful magic users, most Dragons could not teleport themselves or objects without a talisman fashioned to hold a teleportation engram so it was good insurance. Only Dad was evolved enough to manage self teleportation unaided, unless he had a bad night or after dinner indigestion. There were dual bracers somewhere, but Trian felt wary about using them, Dad had said that multiple enchantments could be tricky. Now, about seeing The Evil Mayor. Maybe he should wear a new suit? How about that luminous Tron suit they'd bought off the Internet? It would make him look more bulky and he'd memorised it's physical chemical pattern, and it could be reinforced to biker standards. Trian "changed" then went to find Kelly.
