Chapter 45: Old Memories and Beginning of a New Hunt
(Edinburgh, Scotland)
"Contact the vampire, Violet." Danny said.
"My king." Violet said once she appeared.
"Hello Violet." Danny said "I want an update on your seduction of Prince Don Carlos. How has your relationship progressed?"
"It is going well." Violet said. "He is burning with desire for me."
"Have you slept with him yet?" Danny asked.
"No." Violet answered. "Currently I am denying him and watching as he burns with desire."
He knew it would be a good idea to send Violet to Don Carlos. She had the type of personality that he had spent years looking for. She would have no problem with dealing pain to a Spanish prince. He did not doubt that even without supernatural abilities that Violet would be able to train the Spanish prince to kiss her boots.
Prince Don Carlos is what Earthlings in the Twenty-first century would call a masochist. He found pleasure in pain. If given the option of how they would sleep with each other he would prefer it to happen while he is bound to a chair and whipped by Violet.
This desire for Violet was probably stronger given that the women of this time weren't raised to exhibit that type of personality. Before he would have had to pay prostitutes to do what he wanted. Even then it was only when he was far from his father's palace and watchful eyes.
"I am sending a gift to you. I have had my French servants skins some cows for their leather and create a body suit for this mission. It is form fitting so it would show off every curve that you have." Danny said and used his power to open the chest he had brought with him.
The outfit came with a zipper down the front that reached all the way to her knees. The long boots with pointed heel would cover what the suit would not.
"That looks nice." Violet said as she looked at the outfit. "It is going to drive him wild."
"That is the idea." Danny said. "The toys still in the box should help even more."
It was the usual assortment that one would think of when they were involved with BDSM.
"King Phillip and Queen Elizabeth would have a heart attack if he saw these." Violet said as she tilted her head to the side.
He is thousands of miles away, but it was like he could feel the joy she felt at the thoughts running in her mind. He also probably did not want to know what they were. So, it was time to move the conversation away from this.
"I intend to take the royal children back to France." Danny said.
"How are you planning on dealing with King Phillip?" Violet asked. "Is it time for Don Carlos to take the throne?"
Violet had been tasked with increasing the prince's desire for the throne. The original plan had been to create some unrest in the palace as Don Carlos began to make alliances for when he would take the throne.
"Not yet." Danny said. "I plan on brewing a tincture. I want you to compel a servant to put it the king's wine."
"Is it going to kill him?" Violet asked.
"No." Danny denied. "The potion is going to weaken him to the point that he will barely be able to pick up a grape."
"What is the purpose behind it?" Violet asked.
"I want them to think that King Phillip is under threat of the assassination attempt." Danny said. "After he drinks the tincture, I want you to compel another servant to tell his guard that they learned of an assassination attempt."
If things went how he predicted, then King Phillip would prioritize his defense and keep his guards centered around him. That distraction would leave a gap around the royal children and create a path for his kidnappings to take place.
Then he would go and save them.
"I will do as you desire." Violet said closing the closet.
"Good. That is all for now." Danny said ending the call.
Now it was time to pay Lola a visit.

"Did you need something my King?" Lola asked as she sat across from him.
She had screamed in surprise when he arrived.
"I have recently come into contact with tablets that tell of an ancient legend." Danny said placing an orb on the table.
"What legend?" Lola asked.
"I have been told that it is called the Horn of Bran Galed." Danny said and had the orb project the image of the tablet that he had taken from Chateau de Chennoceau.
"I have heard of it." Lola said looking at the image.
"I was hoping that you would." Danny said. "What is it?"
"It is one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britian." Lola said. "The myth of The Horn of Galed comes from Wales. It is an object that Merlin searched for during his adventures."
"Tell me more." Danny said even more interested than before.
During his time in Paris while he had been holding King/Prince Francis hostage he had been looking into the castle's stories of Merlin during the time of Camelot. They were more poetry and story than records but that did not make them useless.
From what he has been able to learn during Merlin's time on Earth after incarnating in a nearby village he had come to work in the Welsh kingdom of Camelot during the time of the tyrannic King Uther Pendragon. During that time, he served as the dogsbody of the castle's chief physician Gaius and as the manservant of King Arthur. Together the two of them defended the kingdom from those that wanted to destroy it. It was after Uther died and Arthur came to the throne that Merlin revealed his abilities to the king and the kingdom.
"It is said that Merlin was collecting treasures from the Kings and Lords of the land. They accepted his request but only on the condition that he first had to complete the quest for them. He had to get the Horn from King Bran the Stingy."
"I take it that he did not get that name from being too generous?" Danny asked.
"You would be right. According to the tale he rarely gave anybody anything." Lola said. "Asking for a request from King Bran required the patience of a saint and could take lifetimes."
"Do you know what the Horn does?" Danny asked.
"According to the legends The Horn of Bran Galed has the power the drinker with anything they desire." Lola said. "To prove that Merlin got the Horn King Arthur held a large feast and Merlin gifted each king with their favorite drink."
"Does the legend say where Merlin put it" Danny asked "Or who had it after him?"
"No. It is said that Merlin kept it to his last days." Lola said. "It is believed that he put it with all of his other treasures."
"Thank you for the information, Lola." Danny said as he stood up.
"Have you figured something out?" Lola asked.
"No but I will think on it later. There are still other tasks I have to finish." Danny said as he stood up.

(Kleak, France)
"Hello." Danny said with a smile.
"My King." Iok said as he looked away from the screen showing the horses galloping in the field. "This is a surprise. Can I help you?"
"Yes. There is an operation that I am planning. I want you to send five B.I.R.S. to the city of Florence." Danny commanded the Jaffa.
He told Queen Catherine that he would get her children back and this is how he would begin. However, before that could begin, he needed accurate maps.
"As you wish." Iok said as he changed the controls and the B.I.R.D.S. took flight. "How long do you wish them to record?"
"The mission begins in a month." Danny said.
"If that is the duration of the mission than they will have to be recalled for us to restore their power." Iok said.
"That is fine." Danny said as he turned to walk through the underground surveillance room to the village surface with a whistle.
Now he needed to go and get a witch.
"Which witch should I get?" Danny muttered to himself with a smile.

(Isle of The Blessed)
Danny stepped out of the Tel'tak and floated over the water to the land.
He thought of one changing one of the horse stables into a landing room for his tel'tak but it was not high on the list of priorities given that he might not be around long enough for it.
Danny placed his palm on the door scanner and after it recognized him walked through the grounds to the courtyard.
He found Morgause practicing sword-fighting against an invisible enemy.
Even dead and unable to improve it seemed she had loved the act.
"Greetings Morgause." Danny said.
"King Daniel." Morgause said as she turned around in surprise.
He found it funny that he could surprise her spirit. He was certain she would have blushed if she were capable.
"Hello, Morgause, I had need of Delphine and wanted to see if she could come with me on an errand." Danny said.
"I apologize but the ladies are currently in an alchemy class." Morgause said.
"It is alright I am in no rush." Danny said as he started walking. "I can use the time to talk to you."
"You wish to know something?" Morgause asked.
"I wish to know about Uther, Merlin, Arthur and Morgana." Danny said.
"Very well." Morgause said. "Where do you wish to start?"
"The beginning." Danny said. "Why did Uther hate magic?"
"His hatred of magic did not begin until he suffered from is selfishness." Morgause began. "Uther was a tyrant. He was the son of Constantine III of Rome. He conquered the land of Wales and created the kingdom of Camelot. Those close to him and were in his favor said he was a man of passion."
"Those against him?" Danny asked.
"They were aware of is injustice and barbarity." Morgause said. "The man did what he wanted and everyone else had to listen to his rules. Uther used magic to give life to Morgana."
"Really?" Danny asked.
"Uther and my father Gorlois were allies under Ambrosius Aurelianus. However, during a feast Uter saw my mother, Vivienne. Uther became obsessed with her. My father saw this and tried to place her in another castle somewhere safe. It drove Uter mad. He tried to attack our castle." Morgause said.
"He failed?" Danny asked.
"Yes, but he would not be stopped so easily. After returning home he talked to a witch held prisoner in his castle. In return for freedom the witch would use to transform Uther into my father." Morgause said.
"He transformed into your father. How? A spell?" Danny asked.
"A magic bracer. As in the story of his god Jupiter. He turned into Gorlois on a night he was away." Morgause said.
"That is how Morgana was born?" Danny asked.
"Yes." Morgause said. "Morgana was hurt after hearing the story."
"What about Arthur?" Danny asked. "What was his reaction to hearing the story?"
"That was not a concern of ours at the time." Morgause said. "Let us move back to the story."
"Okay. Danny said."
"Uther had married Ygraine but his wife was barren. Uther decided to turn again to magic. This time the witch Nimue." Morgause said. "She warned him that such magic would have a price, and Uther was fine with it until he learned that he and his family would be the one paying the price."
"A price?" Danny asked.
"Arthur was born healthy, but Ygraine died." Morgause said.
"Starting his purge of magic." Danny said with a frown.
"Exactly." Morgause said. "He slaughtered so many of our people in return for what happened. He would have killed me as well, but I was smuggled out of the castle beforehand."
Danny let her take a breath as it seemed difficult for her to tell the story even after the centuries that have passed.
He focused on the witches in the room across from him.
They are being taught by an older witch that wore a black bodysuit. She had a wide head and green hair.
"Now to review wat you have learned in the process for Alchemy how do you see the planet?" The witch asked.
Pure raised her and.
"Piper?" The witch asked.
"Practitioners believe in The One and The All." Piper said raising her head from a piece of parchment.
"Can you elaborate?" The witch asked.
"The One is the individual. The All is considered the world or the universe. The One can also be considered part of The All. The One is created from The All, lives in The All, and ends returning to the All." Piper said.
"Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred and transformed." Danny summarized.
"That is a belief of Alchemy." Morgause said.
"Morgause do you know of a spell that could let me communicate with the world?" Danny asked.
He will try what Seline had suggested to him.
Through his talks with witches on this side and the other he knew that they believe the planet is alive. They believe the world had been recording knowledge since the first plant blossomed.
"Yes." Morgause answered.
"Will it take long to gather the ingredients?" Danny asked.
He just hoped that it would be a quick path to Troy.
"No. We have everything here. Tou you will need to wait till the end of the week for the full moon."
He was not surprised. Witches of this world just loved drama and theatrics.

"So, are you enjoying the game King Daniel?" Queen Mary asked as she hit her ball with the mallet.
"I like it." Danny said as he twirled his mallet in his hand.
This game that they were playing was the one they were playing when he went to Honduras. The people of tis time called it Pall Mall. From what he could tell it was similar to golf and/or croquet. The goal was to move your ball through wickets until you reach the end goal. You had to be wary about both the angle you shot and the other players that might hit your ball to make the game more difficult.
"We can play as long as you want." King/Prince Francis said.
"One way or another the result will be the same." James said with a scowl. "Have you no sorrow that you are ruining our country?"
"Sounds like someone is not appreciating their sister's gift." Danny said as he turned to the man that was standing to the side enjoying the sun and warm weather.
"I wonder why?" James asked. "Maybe it is because I know this is another attempt to get me to turn away from god and accept your pagan ways."
"Your sister misses you and wants to spend time with you." Lady Kenna said as she moved to take her turn.
"That is why she has me caged like animal and then collared?" James asked gesturing to the handcuff on his wrist.
"That was my decision. You are a risk. If you are to be let out of the dungeon, then she or I need to know where you are." Danny said.
The only reason that people accepted Mary over James to rule Scotland is because James is a bastard and the Christian faith held issue with that unless it was useful. In the situation Scotland was in now there were some that might figure that it would be better to follow James and fight them.
"It's humiliating. You are treating me as if I am an animal." James said.
"You have to work with me James." Queen Mary pleaded as she turned to her brother.
"Why have you not released your mother?" James asked.
"I need a while before I can talk to her." Queen Mary said after she put her mallet to the ground.
Danny could see that Queen Mary was holding on to the mallet tighter than before and her eyes had grown colder than when they had begun playing.
"What do you mean?" James asked.
"I think we should talk about other things." Danny said moving the conversation away from topics that would ruin their game.
"I think that is a great idea." King/Prince Francis said aware of Mary's issue with her mother.
"There is a place in the new world. On certain night sky lights up with the most beautiful colors of blue and green. It is beautiful." Danny said.
Seeing the aurora borealis was something that he had wanted to see ever since he decided to visit the Earth. His kingdom did not have such an event. It had others but the aurora was something unique to Earth as far as he knew.
"It sounds wonderful." Queen Mary said as King/Prince Francis went to take his turn.
"I wonder if you guys would like to see it in person?" Danny asked.
"It sounds interesting." King/Prince Francis said.
"What about the war you are starting? Are you going to let your soldiers die while you are enjoying some light show?" James asked.
"Why are you so cranky?" Danny asked as he moved to take his strike.
"Your manipulations make me sick sorcerer. These are no longer people. Just your puppets. You pretend to ask them questions like they had the ability to say no to you."
"Is that any different from what that Pope of yours does?" Danny asked as he watched the ball move closer to the wicket.
"That is not the same." James said.
"How?" Danny asked.
"He is the representative of God. He sits in the chair of Saint Peter." James said.
"I am the representative of Nirtti goddess of Dinai." Danny said as he watched Queen Mary come to take her turn again.
"There is only one God." James said.
"James you are speaking of heresy." Queen Mary said.
"Me? I'm the heretic?" James said. "I am unable to believe how you have corrupted my sister sorcerer."
"Yes. You do not worship the faith of the people of the Empire of Ra so that makes you a heretic. You are lucky that we do not treat you how your faith has treated others of a similar opinion." Danny said. "In the age of the Vikings the Danes that had been living in England were massacred by Aethelred the Unready during their bathing day."
"Please do not agitate him further James." Queen Mary said.
"It is fine. I am just passing time until I can start my search." Danny said.
"What are you searching for?" Lady Kenna asked.
"I have started a quest to find the city of Troy." Danny said and he could feel the amazement of the others.
"You found the lost city?" King/Prince Francis asked.
He was royal so classical readings had been part of his instruction. Learning about the Iliad and the Odyssey were just a small part of it.
"No. rather I am chasing a lead that I believe can lead me to the city." Danny said.
Before anything else could be said a member of Queen Mary's court came in their direction.
"Queen Mary, King Francis." Lord Ruthven said in greeting. "I wish to speak with you."
Lord Ruthven was a member of the advisory council to the royal couple. His position is royal treasurer. He is the man that would have killed David Rizzio and tried to imprison Queen Mary in her own castle.
He did not like the man and had men watching him waiting for the opportunity to catch him plotting but nothing so far.
Ruthven was lucky because someone else soon gained his attention.
"My king you have a call from Queen Catherine." Karmen a werewolf that was waiting by a table under an umbrella serving drinks called out to him.
"Hand the contact orb to me." Danny said.

(Isle of The Blessed)
"Are you sure about this?" Delphine asked.
"Yes. Delphine." Danny said from the rock he was sitting on.
If he was going to investigate Greek monsters and mythology, then he wanted to be prepared.
If this did not work, then his next step was flying to Mount Olympos.
"Very well." Delphine said as she put the last bit of the concoction into the pot boiling over circle with druid symbols.
Tere was no fire under the pot. Instead, Delphine had poured the four elements of water, earth, air, and fire into it and the water bean to boil on its own.
"Now for the final stir." Morgause said.
She was here to make sure the potion was the correct color.
Danny saw a puff of smoke and saw the concoction had turned purple.
Delphine placed her hand in the liquid.
"King Daniel come here." Morgause said.
Delphine drew on his arms and forehead a triquetra symbol.
He found himself in a white void.
"Where am I?" Danny asked as he looked around.
"We are in the space where your mind meets mine." A voice said from behind him.
Danny turned around and looked up to see a giant woman. "Who are you?"
"The Egyptian man I met called me Horakthy, The Greek called me Gaia, the romans called me Terra, The Patch call me the Great Spirit. I have many names but what I am is the spirit of the world." Horakthy said.
"You are the one that talks with the witches." Danny said.
"I talk to all of my children. I speak trough the leaves, the wind, the rain and more. Whether they listen, ignore me, or form their own opinion." Horakthy said. "What do you wish?"
"I wish to see the past." Danny said. "The sirens have told me that you hold the memories of the past."
"That is true." Horakthy said. "However, I want something from you in return."
Of course, she does.
"How can I help you?" Danny asked.
"I want you to stop the warlocks and their schemes." Horakthy said.
"I am already doing that." Danny said.
"I am aware of the past and the steps the Goa'uld will take. There is a chance your original may decide you are tired with your vacation and leave or decide to blow me up to prevent them succeeding." Horakthy said. "I am against both of those options."
No surprise there but it is not like she is wrong. The original had thought about those outcomes.
"Very well." Danny said. "I give you my word that I will make sure that you are not put at risk."
"In return I will allow you to see my memory." Horakthy said waving her hand.
The elaborate door behind her opened and he stepped through.

(Mount Ida, Crete)
Danny found himself floating through the air.
Looking ahead he saw what he had been looking for.
Paris of Troy had thick black hair and a beard. Average height but with well-defined muscles from farming.
Paris is a prince of Troy. One of the fifty-one sons of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. According to mythology a prophecy was made that Paris would bring the downfall of Troy. Unwilling to kill their child they gave him to a herdsman named Agelaus who took him to Mount Ida.
Paris was left to die but after returning nine days later Agelaus found Paris alive suckled by a female bear.
Agelaus was surprised but taken in by the infant's survival adopted him. Agelaus convinced King Priam that the deed was finished by handing over a dog's severed tongue.
Paris had been having a grand time with a woman that may have been the inspiration for Oenone before his adoptive father had shown up and demanded his help to find their farm animals that had been scared by wolves and run away.
His search had brought him to a forest where he heard laughter.
He should have run away but instead he went deeper and encountered a group.
The group consisted of two men and three women. The men looked like random travelers that you might meet on the road. It was the women that differed in appearance. The oldest looking woman had cold look on her face. Her dark hair and pale skin seemed to suck all life in from her.
No smile could make her look like a happy sort of person.
"Paris. Son of Agelaus the herdsman." The white man covered in a hood said.
"Who wants to know?" Paris asked in response.
He was right to be suspicious, but it was too late. He was under their spell.
The next one to stand up a muscular woman with dark skin. She looked like her favorite thing in the world would be sharp weapons and her favorite hobby would be hunting.
"You have been chosen to resolve a dispute." The white man said as he began to walk through the thin branches of a tree and towards the fire. "Decide which of these three goddesses is the finest."
Paris was lucky that they all wanted him to live. Have to choose between three Goa'ulds with the same question and the ones not chosen would hunt you down, skin you, and place your pelt upon their mantle as compensation for the insult and a warning to the others.
"Goddesses?" Paris asked confused.
"Whoever you choose shall receive the golden apple." the hooded man said as he stuck his hand into the pit of fire and burning wood.
According to mythology during the wedding of Tetis and Peleus that the goddess Eris/Discordia upset at not being invited threw a golden apple with the words for the fairest. It caused a dispute among the three goddesses that reached for it each believing they held the title.
"I herd cows, how can I decide something like that?" Paris asked.
"Zeus, Bringer of Storms selected you personally." The white man said pulling the "apple" out of the ground unburned.
Nice bit of theater. It would scare people but also fill them with an urge to get closer.
Maybe he should steal the trick.
Looking around he could see the differences between these "gods" and the Goa'uld.
The Goa'uld Zeus was currently in the body of an old man with white hair and beard that looked more like the myth
The white man had glanced to the black man covered by a hood as he said that.
"Why me?" Paris asked.
"It's just a game." The white man replied.
There was humor in his voice as he lied to the man.
At least now he knew the story of Paris challenging bulls and giving Ares a golden crown for winning was not true.
Paris may not know what was going on, but he had no doubt how the group felt watching him. Watching him walk into their trap.
"But maybe we have the wrong person." The white man said after he placed the apple on a tree stump.
"No Hermes. We have the right person." The man likely to be Zeus said. "Take it."
Hermes son of Zeus and Maia the "nymph".
This one held the titles of herald of the gods, protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators. Roman name Mercury.
Goa'uld Hermes also looked different. His current host was wider and balder than this appearance.
The whole group watched as Paris approached the apple that should have been too hot to touch as it just came from a fire. They showed expressions of curiosity and excitement.
"As I thought." Hermes said with scorn in his voice. "The man is not brave enough for such a simple task."
Such a simple taunt yet always effective.
Paris clearly hated that and to show that he was brave he went and picked up the apple.
"Now Paris listen to what the goddesses have to offer you." Zeus said. "Hera."
The oldest looking woman started moving forward.
"Give me the apple, Paris and I will make you the most power man alive." Hera said.
Hera daughter of Kronos and Rhea.
He wondered how the Alteran Juno would react to the people that have taken her name and combined it with a Goa'uld.
Maybe she would not mind. From what he had read of her actions maybe she would not care. She would punish people certainly, but it may not bring out much emotion in her.
This one held the title of goddess of marriage, women, and family. Roman name Juno.
This one looked wilder.
"Don't listen to her..." The muscled woman began but did not get to finish.
"Athena." Zeus said looking at her.
Athena the daughter or Zeus and is first wife Themis.
Her current host had red hair and grey eyes.
Nirtti had a deal with Athena. We sent monsters for her Jaffa warriors to fight. She has the habit of naming her warrior squads by constellation.
She was currently battling Hade for territory.
This Atena is a goddess of war and held titles over wisdom, war, and handicraft. Roman name Minerva.
Athena stopped talking but rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Choose me, Paris. With me by your side you'll be the most admired man on Earth." Athena said.
That was when the other woman decided to step in and tap Paris on the shoulder.
"You know me, of course from your dreams." The red-headed woman said as she stood in front of him.
By process of elimination that made her Aphrodite born from the mutilation of Uranus by Kronos. Roman name Venus.
"Aphrodite, goddess of love." Paris said.
He was obviously being swayed by her spell and beauty.
She looked the prettiest out of the group.
If he had to choose between Nirrti's current body and this one, he would have to say that Aphrodite was prettier.
The current host for the Goa'uld would rate even worse.
She is a blonde woman that wore pink to everything.
This woman made sense to be a goddess associated with love, lust and procreation.
The other goddesses had looks of irritation on their faces. Aphrodite saw that and had a pleased look in her eye.
"Grant me the apple and I will give you the most beautiful woman in the world." Aphrodite promised.
It was clear what Paris would choose but he could not help but notice that no matter which "goddess" Paris picked his choice would result in large amounts of blood being spilled one way or another.
"Who is she?" Paris asked.
"Hmm. You'll know her when you see her." Aphrodite responded.
"Time to decide." Zeus said.
Paris looked around the group focusing on each goddess and what they offered him before walking to Aphrodite.
"I choose you." Paris said handing over the apple.
That decision was what would lead to hundreds of thousands of people dying in Troy. On the bright side though it would lead to the formation of Rome once all this was over. Though plenty of people conquered by the Romans would curse this event as without such a place they might have been able to lead happy lives. After Paris's decision thunder rumbled in the sky and he could see Hera and Athena beginning to freak out.
Hera let out such a scream that it echoed throughout the forest.
"What have you done?" Hermes asked.
"Enough. The mortal has spoken." Zeus said unaffected by this tantrum.
Paris was gripping his hands to his ears probably hoping to drown out the noise. The scream had forced all birds in the forest to fly away as far as they could go. When Paris let go of his ears, he was alone in the forest and the only thing he could see beside the trees was a cow.
The symbol of Hera.
"Wait!" Paris cried out to the sky. "When do I meet my prize?"
(Flashback End)
"King Daniel?" Delphine asked shaking him.
"Yes?" Danny asked looking at her.
"Your eyes were purple for a moment. Are you well?" Delphine asked hesitantly.
A moment? It felt more like ten in the memory.
"That is yet to be seen." Danny said with a sigh.
Someone walked up behind him.
"I am sorry to bother you, my king." Raios said.
"Do you have something for me Raios?" Danny asked.
"A report as come from one of your adventure teams." Raios said.
"Play it for me." Danny said.
Raios nodded.
A female Jaffa appeared.
"My king I am Eisa. I am sorry that it has taken so long for us to give you, our findings." Eisa said.
"It does not matter have you found out who was targeting my villages?" Danny asked.
"We checked the villages that had been attacked by these raiders. They burned the village homes and granary before they left taking men and women with them." Raios said.
"What message did they want the survivors to spread?" Danny asked.
"The survivors say that the leader of the Raiders was a monster." Raios said.
"What kind of monster?" Danny asked.
"None of their weapons could hurt him. He ignored arrows that pierced him, caught spears that were tossed at him, and cut men in half with a single swing of his sword." Raios said.
"Impressive." Danny said.
"His men drank the blood of many villagers. It seems like the Raiders are vampires my king." Eisa said. "The villagers left behind were told to walk to Paris and tell the royal family under the control of the foreign sorcerer a simple message."
"What message?" Danny asked.
"Mikael wants his children back." Eisa said. "Should we continue the hunt?"
"You have done good work but no. Now I have another task for you." Danny said. "Apparently there is a monster in Gevudan. I want your squad and a squad of Jaffa to find it and bring it back to me."
"Very well my king. We will capture this beast." Eisa said.
"It seems that Mikael is on the move." Qetsiyah said.
"That old Viking is going to regret daring to bare his fangs at me." Danny said as he punched left his fist into his right palm.
He would have his Jaffa place a force field that would prevent any vampire from leaving France without his permission. Qetsiyah and her spirits would be great help with the searching. They may not be able to use magic to find them, but they were able to look for them from the Other Side. Mikael and the legion of soldiers he was probably compelling or turning would be stuck and with the B.I.R.D.S. scouring the land for a lead there were only so many places they could hide and feed.
He knew the original was glad that he had decided to come to Earth.
The nine years they had left here were definitely not going to be boring.
