	#4355 Salanthos I understand you are having some troubles. I came to offer my help, if you'd like.

	#4356 Penthesilea Penthesilea considers. This could be a ploy to plant someone in her household, still..... Penthesilea dismounts and hands her reins to a waiting groom. Penthesilea: Come in and we'll talk. At the least, I can offer you hospitality. Penth leads the way inside. She is immediately flanked by her gremlin bodyguards. She casts a discreet "Detect Truth" spell on herself.

	#4357 Salanthos Once inside, Salanthos looked at the Keyholder with steady grey eyes. "so you're not trusting me yet? good sense, trusting too much is unwise, particularly with the difficulties you are having." her mouth quirked in a half grin "although, your detect spell could use a little work. to me, at least, its rather obvious. no need to worry, I'm genuine. but if you like, you can try a truth spell on me." her eyes, now deep purple, glinted laughingly as she waited for the Keyholder's response.

	#4358 Penthesilea Penthesilea smiles as her father, Lord Duncan, walks up. Perhaps you should simply tell us who you are and why you're here and I'll decide about the truth spell later.

	#4359 Salanthos "like I said before, I'm just here to help. I heard about your family, your brother and his lady getting attacked. you have an internal enemy, and you know it. and those looking to take your lands complicate things, hence your caution." she turned her rough palm to the ceiling in a shrug. "I can help you keep an eye on things, if you like. I have many talents, both mundane and unusual, that would benefit you. among other things, I can tell a person's true nature, even if they're human, demon or full blown god." she smiled at Ares. "Introduce me to your father, Keyholder?"

	#4360 Penthesilea Penthesilea casts a quick spell that keeps them from being overheard as they are still standing in the busy Entry Hall. This is my father, Ares, Son of Zeus and War God of Olympus. Here he is known as Lord Duncan, an immortal sorcerer. We would prefer to keep his Godhood and my status as a demigoddess a secret. Your turn. The look in Ares' eyes suggests that the newcomer had best be forthcoming and quickly!

	#4361 Salanthos "I'm a mindshifter, as far as I know the only one. it is an aquired status, unlike yours. I can manipulate the natural powers, mostly, and there is little I cannot find out through them. as much as you both shield your secrets, as long as your natures are unchanged it is a bit obvious." She bared her teeth in a grin. "Any other questions?"

	#4362 Penthesilea Penthesilea thought for a moment. A name would be nice. As for the rest, I daresay a quick inquiry to our family will establish whether or not you are lying. If you are... Ares grinned, letting his nature become very obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

	#4363 Salanthos "My name is Salanthos y Sl'an, but mostly I go by Sal. its a bit less unusual. don't be surprised, though, if your enquiries can't find my story, of how I became what I am. only I know that. you should be able to find what I have been doing, though, that should convince you." she grinned back at Ares with flaming orange eyes, for a moment showing as much fierceness as the war god himself.

	#4364 Penthesilea Ares nods. They understand each other. Ares: I will be looking into you, Sal, just so you know. Penthesilea: Shall we go somewhere a bit less public? If you are here to help me, I need to know what you can do, so I can use your talents efficiently. If you're hungry, we can go to the Dining Hall first and then my study. We can talk privately there.

	#4365 Salanthos Once in the study, Sal begins " ok, you need to know what I can do. most openly, I am a highly skilled herbalist and healer. there is very little I cannot do in that regard, I've had lots of practice. on the power side, I can manipulate the natural forces of things and places much like you can work magic. I am constrained to only do things within the framework of nature, but that includes most things, nature is rather versitile. my powers are undetectable, even the most stringant search for magic will find nothing. of myself, I can change myself in any way, physically, emotionally or mentally. I can grant myself any power or ability, temporarily. Although partial shape-shifts are easy, full shapeshifting is difficult and takes more time. so, that's all I can do." Sal raised an eyebrow at Penthesilea. "think that will be enough?"

	#4366 Penthesilea Do your powers work in the Tech Only Zones? For example, certain of my gifts, my immortality and the inspeaking which I was born with, work in the Tech Only Zones. My magick does not. My combat abilities which I learned like everyone else, also work there.

	#4367 Salanthos " my abilities work anywhere. since its all nature forces, anywhere there's nature I can work. It's a big advantage."

	#4368 Penthesilea Penthesilea smiles, looking very much like her father, and rubs her hands together. Yes, it is. Most of my people use magick that won't work in the Tech Only areas. Even those who use elemental magick can't use it in those areas because of the magick suppression fields. I don't have Gaea screaming in my head that you are a liar so Penthesilea extends her hand for a handshake. welcome aboard. I hope you don't come to regret it.

	#4369 Salanthos thanks. I'm quite sure I won't regret this.

	#4370 Penthesilea Penthesilea: If you are agreeable, I'll have quarters prepared for you. You can customize them as you like. You should know that the Castle is semi-aware so you should ask the house computer, Ashera, before you attempt to do anything like make doors, windows or move walls. Just speak to the air, she'll hear you, won't you, Ashera? Ashera: Of course.

	#4372 Penthesilea Penthesilea inquires as to Sal's preferences and makes arrangements. In short order, a maid arrives to show Sal to her new suite. I have a few things to check on. Get settled in your quarters and start getting a feel for the place and for the way the elements work here. I have a bond with the local bedrock through my link to the the Castle and it sometimes affects things.

	#4374 Penthesilea Penthesilea sends the maid on her way. With Daemon around, the staff is used to people vanishing!

	#4375 Penthesilea Penthesilea walked into her bedroom to change out of her riding clothes and take a bath before dinner. Kodiak: (inspeaking) *Too bad I'm not there to help, my dear.* Penthesilea: (inspeaking) *If you WERE here, we'd never GET to dinner and YOU KNOW IT!* Kodiak: (inspeaking) *And YOU wouldn't mind a bit, and I KNOW IT!* They laughed together as Penthesilea stripped and filled the tub. *So, my dear, tell me about the new recruit.* And as she settled into the water, Penthesilea did just that.

	#4376 Penthesilea Kodiak stayed with Penthesilea until she went down to dinner as he had another lesson before he could take his own meal. He had made her laugh in spite of all her worries and she knew that she was blessed and profoundly loved. He was her lover but he was also her friend and had been from the very beginning. As long as she could hear his thoughts, she would never be apart from him. And she would hear him forever...

	#4378 Penthesilea With all the foreign troublemakers gone, the Castle had reverted to its previously low key after dinner entertainment. The bards took turns singing and playing in the ballroom, chessboards were set up for friendly games in the Great Hall while the more serious games took place in the Game Room. Others, mostly the children, went to the Arcade. The Castle library was busy and many just gathered in groups to quietly talk. Penthesilea sat with Lord Cujon and surveyed the scene. They talked quietly about the progress of the army recruitment, the weather and Kodiak's childhood, a topic that Penthesilea found fasinating and her occasional outbursts of laughter rang through the Hall. Everyone who heard it was happy to hear her laugh. Almost everyone.

	#4379 Penthesilea Commander Mercatante schooled his face to impassivity as he watched Penthesilea laugh at something that the Lord Marshall said. He had already heard rumors of their tryst that afternoon. The Lord Marshall was a rutting dog just like his brother! That they both had enjoyed Penthesilea's favors provoked him nearly to violence. He knew he would have to wait until the time was right.... He also considered the newcomer that had apparently just entered the Keyholder's service. Something told him to avoid her at all costs...
