Jasmine, relieved that he has recovered consciousness, hastens to do his bidding.

The new mercenary and the rest of the Castle defenders rush up the stairways to the second floor. Coronal, unfamiliar with the layout of the Castle, follows those more familiar with it and soon finds himself in the thick of the fighting.

Jasmine rushes to his side and pulls him into her arms. Her quickly cast spell intended to keep him out of the battle has succeeded. She will not permit him to take further injury in the Keyholder’s defense!

     Daemon spares a glance in the direction of the explosion and sees his sister plummet to the ground. The Darklord’s son wades into the fray and manages to pull Penthesilea to relative safety. Daemon’s inattention costs him as Satira’s screamed warning comes too late.  A tentacle snags him and with a casual “flick” it tosses Daemon toward the Castle’s wall. This is gonna hurt.. Daemon thinks just before he hits the wall....

*Looks up with a blank stare* I am sorry I did not intend this night to go like this. I wanted everything to be perfect. The truth of the matter is I cannot hide my feelings for you anymore. I have said too much. I am sorry please forgive me.

Jasmine smiles. “There is nothing to forgive.” And then she kisses him passionately.

    Having taken refuge in the second floor nursery, Miranda is in an excellent position to see the stranger in action as he slashes his way through his foes.  The sight fills her with lust that she struggles to conceal. The sight of men fighting and dying has always aroused her and fighting men have always been her choice of lovers. The stranger compares favorably with Sir Alexander, who as the Fates would have it, was on patrol tonight. Miranda decides to make the stranger’s acquaintance once the fighting is over and the party has started.

     With most of the human invaders dead or dying, Penthesilea is finally able to focus on the obscene monstrosity still attempting to crawl out of the Reality Breach outside the Castle walls. She is Keyholder and as such has both the necessary power and the knowledge to close Reality Breaches. She focuses on the Breach and knowledge from the Castle pours into her brain.  She puts it to use, casting the complex spell even as the monster squirms a little closer to the Castle.  Slowly at first and then with more speed, its massive bulk is pulled back into the breach. Then with a high pitched squeal that makes Penthesilea’s ears hurt, it is pulled back to its home and the breach closes with an audible bang.  Feeling a bit lightheaded from the massive expenditure of power, Penthesilea sits down abruptly and surveys the carnage. A number of large critter pieces remain and she casts a small preservation spell on the largest ones. She knows that her scientifically minded daughters will want samples to analyze and catalog.

     With the smaller dragons, the largest of which was the size of a pony, standing guard on the terrace, Tameri and the rest of her kitchen crew returned to the kitchen. Fortunately, nothing had been left on the stoves to boil dry and burn and the feast preparations quickly resumed. The Head of Housekeeping was suitably impressed with Tameri’s organizational skills and quietly made a note to herself to keep an eye on her. She was on the lookout for an able assistant that she could groom to be her replacement when she retired. This young woman looked like she had the makings.

     With battle over, Miranda emerges from hiding and approaches the mercenary that she had been watching. Coronal Dax sees her coming and sheathes his sword. He has seen that look in a woman’s eyes before and he smiles. Encouraged, Miranda introduces herself and, taking her hand for a courtly kiss, Coronal returns the introduction. At her suggestion,  he escorts her back down to the Main Hall as the gremlins and the humans from the Security Tower begin to sort the dead from the only wounded.
     Once she is downstairs, Miranda sees the sorry condition of the clothing she had labored so hard to make and goes looking for one of the Castle’s resident sorceresses.

     As soon as she finds her, Miranda has one of the Castle’s minor sorceresses cast a spell that restores all the combatants ruined clothing. Much to his amusement, the spell even reaches Kodiak and his son in the Darklord’s quarters.

     Comes into the kitchen still limping a bit, looks around and takes tastes from various pots and dishes. “Everything ready? Good. You’ve passed your audition. You're hired. My cook and pastry chef both informed me after the earthquake that they were leaving. It looks like you are qualified to handle both jobs, especially here! If you need to hire assistants, you are authorized to do so. Just inform the Head of Housekeeping.” She glances around and looks out the windows into the Commons.  “Does anyone know where the Lord Marshall is?”

     Daemon comes back to consciousness at the base of the Castle wall in time to see the monster disappear back into its home reality. Figuring that everything is more or less under control, he pushes himself into a sitting position and waits for his own natural healing powers to take care of his injuries. After a few moments, he gets to his feet and immediately doubles over coughing, bringing up bright, foamy blood. “Damn,” he swears.

     Back down in the Main Hall, Kodiak spots Miranda. He has no particular designs on her but it never hurt to keep on good terms with an attractive, “agreeable” woman. As he approaches, the man with her is called away giving Kodiak his chance. The Lord Marshall comes up to her and pulls a small packet from his pocket which he gives to Miranda. At his urging, she opens it and finds a small amber pendant surrounded by diamonds. She gasps with equal parts of pleasure and surprise. “My Lord! I never seen anything so beautiful!  Surely this isn’t meant for me.”

Coronal Dax had left Miranda’s side reluctantly but he had been commandeered into helping move dead bodies out of the Castle proper and since he was a lower ranked mercenary and newly hired at that, he had no choice but to obey.  The work was quickly accomplished. The Castle’s staff was efficient and when he was released he went to retrieve his longbow and quiver from the wall. He left them in the stables with his mounts and returned to the Castle in search of the beautiful Miranda. As he enters the Castle, one of the sorceresses casts a “clean up” spell on him improving both his appearance and his fragrance.

     The Keyholder appears in front of Daemon with a “pop”, not looking much better but at least she's not spitting up blood. “Men!” She shoves up her sleeves and lets fly with a healing spell powerful enough to lift Daemon two feet in the air.  “Immortal does not mean invulnerable! I wish that you would remember that! Now, I've got to find the Lord Marshall. I have something he really needs!” With that, Penthesilea heads back into the Castle, looking for Kodiak. She enters the Main Hall from the Dining Hall and spots Kodiak at the room’s main doors. For just a second, before he sees her, she savors the sight of him standing at the top of the short flight of steps.
