     Miranda notices Coronal watching her with a smile on his face and she returns it. She is very fond of Alexander but they have made no promises to each other and she is not adverse to entertaining another man if he catches her fancy. And this man has.

     Seeing that the Lord Marshall has returned with Jasmine on his arm, Coronal fills a tankard for him and introduces himself.

Coronal so nice to meet you. We got off to a somewhat rocky and excelerated start. Glad to have you aboard.
Jasmine your ok with me having a son? I am sorry I never spoke of him before. Please I hope you two can bond.

*Her part done, the Keyholder slips away and her father follows her. Once they are away from listening ears, she questions him.*

The Keyholder: I saw you fighting something in the sky. What was it?

Lord Duncan: I don't know. It seemed birdlike. Made of heat and hate and shadows.

The Keyholder: It doesn't matter now. Let them come. The girls and the Castle will be safe and that is all I care about. I don't care what happens to me now... *A tear slips past her control...*

     Satira continues to study the Castle’s inhabitants as she circulates through the three vast rooms being used for the party. She takes note of the newly hired mercenary that the Lord Marshall had sent for. She would watch him closely to determine if he could be used, would have to be eliminated or could be safely ignored. She rather hoped that he would not need to be eliminated. It would be a shameful waste of man-meat....

I’m sure we shall, my love. Especially once we have provided him with siblings.

     “Thank you, Lord Marshall. If I may suggest, finding out where tonight’s attackers came from and how they got to the Castle unnoticed would be a good idea. I can undertake that task if you are willing to give me the assignment.”

Penthesilea: The reason I arranged this party was to make clear to all your position here. You were promoted on the fly and we haven't had time to properly recognize you. *She takes the medallion from the tray. *By this sign, I declare you my Lord Marshall to sit at my right hand for as long as either of us lives or you wish otherwise.* She places the medallion's chain around his neck. Then picks up the man' ring still on the tray, holding it in the palm of her hand.* This ring was last worn by my great grandfather. It is the Consort Band worn by the husbands of female Keyholders. I will take no Consort. I have heirs and they are grown. I ask you to accept this as a token that if I should die before you, you will act as Regent for my daughters until such time as the Castle accepts one or both of them as Keyholder. I do not order, only ask. (softly so only DK hears.) If you accept, the ring goes on your index finger.


Daemon nods and turns to leave. The danger is over for the moment and he has another matter he must see too.

*Looks at Jasmine in amazement* Redirects his attention to Coronal* So be it. It will be nice to have someone to count on especially while I am away. You shall have full control over the minions. I shall let them know you are also their leader. *Hands Coronal another ale and strolls off with Jasmine.*

     Coronal covered his smile by taking a long drink of his ale. It could not have worked out better if he had planned it! The Darklord was so besotted with his new bride to be that he had turned command of his elite forces over to a man he knew only by reputation! That Coronal’s services had been engaged well before the Darklord had contacted him was something that Coronal felt no need to mention. He spotted the lovely Miranda giving him covert looks over her wine and he made his way to her side.
     After a few minutes of small talk, Coronal asked about the Castle’s accommodations, hoping for an invitation to the lady’s room but it was Kodiak, wandering back with Jasmine on his arm that answered him.

*Unnoticed because she wishes to be, the Keyholder leaves the Castle and makes her way to the Temple of Aphrodite. She enters and lights a candle. The Goddess is there before Penthesilea can speak pulling her into Her arms. She can hold back no longer. Penthesilea breaks down in the arms of the Goddess and cries.*

Daemon I have taken notice at your fierce fighting capabilities and am In debt. I would like to make you one of my Officers also. I understand if you wish to remain solo. But please consider we really need you here.

Daemon smiled wearily. “ I’m flattered by your offer, Lord Marshall, but I must decline. I have obligations that I must discharge before I can take on any others. But be assured, if my sister needs me, I will be here.

     Coronal Dax smiled as he headed out of the Castle to collect his gear. He had been assured that by the time he returned his quarters would be ready and waiting for him.  Other than the completely unexpected attack by an unknown monster, things were going exactly as planned. As soon as he had stowed his gear in his quarters, he intended to seek out the oh so willing Miranda and take full advantage of her charms. He had hoped to find a willing bedmate among the Castle’s wenches but he hadn’t expected to get lucky so soon! And the fact that the woman was in a position to hear everything that went on in the Castle was an unexpected bonus!

     Miranda finds that the evening’s events have exhausted her more than she had thought. She makes her way past the Lord Marshall and Daemon and out into the night.  It is her fervent hope that Coronal will follow her since she made a point of mentioning the location of her quarters while they chatted over ale! The thought of his lusty attentions makes her speed her steps to her rooms. She will need at least a little time to prepare.....

I shall respect your answer and hope that you shall fight beside us for a long time to come. *Bows*

Daemon grins at the Lord Marshall.  “I’m like a bad copperpiece.  You can never tell when or where I’ll turn up.”

Daemon laughs at the sally. It is good to know that he is not the only one around with a sense of humor! With a grin and a nod, Daemon leaves the Lord Marshall and makes his way out of the Main Hall.

#2631  [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

     Penthesilea watches the exchange between the two men. She is dry eyed for the moment but she knows what is yet to come this night and has no idea how she will endure it. But she knows that she will endure because, as in so much else, she has no choice. She wonders, briefly, what it would be like to actually have a choice.  Her choices had been severely limited for a very long time and now, now she no longer had any choices at all. The rest of her life was carved in stone and there was no changing it.  She steels herself. She can not break. Not yet. Not yet.
