One, obviously the mage that cast the transport spell, collapses from the strain, a trickle of blood running from her nose.
     “We need the Healers! Now!” Daemon bellows and the Healers immediately separate themselves from the crowd gathering for the party.


*Penthesilea senses something.*

Penthesilea: Ashera, what's happening?

Ashera: Daemon has arrived. He has companions who need medical attention. The Healers have been summoned. They are in the Courtyard.

*The Keyholder exits her rooms at a run.

     Arriving in the Courtyard and seeing the situation with the wounded is in hand, Penthesilea immediately turns her mind to the next obvious question. She pulls a small communications device out of her pocket and calls up the command center for the airsleds that have been flying air cover all day. Tersely, she outlines the situation and orders the airsleds to move closer to the Castle while searching for anyone or anything that could have followed Daemon.

     The Healers call for assistance in moving the injured to the infirmary. It is immediately apparent that at least two will need emergency surgery while even the least injured will need in patient care. 


     Daemon watches, seething with rage as the injured are taken away. He doesn’t even notice the blood running down his face and chest. “He will die,” he growls. “HE WILL DIE!!” His enraged roar causes the more timid souls in the crowd to move back.

     Seeing the blood on her brother's face, Penthesilea's own rage breaks free. She does not know who has done this nor does she care. Too many of those she loves have been hurt! Her eyes fill with green fire and her hair begins to stir. She stretches forth her hand and fire flows between her and her brother. He is healed as the fire sinks into his skin. “I know his blood is yours, brother, but save some for me!”

“Oh, HELL! Daemon, we've got incoming!” In a flash of power, the party gown is gone, replaced by the leathers of an Amazon warrior. The Keyholder draws her sword and fire runs down its length. Her grin is almost as feral as her brother's. “There is suspicious movement in the forest to the northwest. I’d be real interested to find out how they got over the Mile Wall without anyone noticing.” Even as she speaks, a strike force begins to assemble in the Courtyard as the party goers head back into the Castle for safety. They know that the party will go on once the Keyholder and her troops have taken care of the intruders!

     At that moment, a Gate opens in the Courtyard and the Lord Marshall steps through..

*Bursts through the door. 200 some minions in tow.* What the ****. I had better not get any blood on my dress robes. Minions half of you go to Daemon the other half protect our borders.

     Seeing the Lord Marshall alive and apparently unhurt fills Penthesilea with almost more joy than she can stand. But she restrains herself. She must remember her place and what is appropriate, even in moments of joy.

     In spite of everything, Miranda laughs at the dashing Darklord’s entrance.  “Welcome home, Lord Marshall! Your timing is excellent!”

     Daemon, still seething with barely controlled anger and frustration, slams his fist into the nearest wall.

     The Keyholder regards the hole and guesses what is in her brother's mind. “I'm here this time. Whatever comes after them comes through me.” MoonCat and SpiritFire arrive. MoonCat is in a suit of powered command armor, her sister is dressed as their mother is. “Girls, anything that gets past Daemon and me, kill.”  The Keyholder's daughters nod and grin. Then they head for they assigned positions inside the Castle.
     Penthesilea’s attention returns to the Lord Marshall, who is greeting Miranda.

*Bows* It looks like we arrived a little late. As you can see the minion recruting went well. They are still a bit untrained though.

     Penthesilea gives the Lord Marshall a “look” that speaks volumes.

     Jasmine intercepts Kodiak before he can take a step and lets the full force of her preparations wash over him. “I’m glad you have returned safely, Lord Marshall. I.. I mean we,
were worried about you.”

     The airborne gremlins begin flying sweeps to locate the source of the disturbance in the forest near the Castle and to determine their numbers.  Penthesilea divides her attention between Daemon, who is still on a hair trigger and the young twin of the Lord Marshall who has just sauntered into view.  For that reason, Kodiak is the first to notice the warrior riding in the Main Gate.

     Jasmine looked at the man closely and saw something in his aura that she recognized. She would find a moment to speak with him later but for now, she would maintain her cover and slips up beside the Keyholder. “A mercenary? Can he be trusted,” she whispers to Penthesilea.

     The stranger doesn’t flinch before Kodiak’s question which speaks well of his nerve since the Darklord was taking no chances. “If you are the Darklord called Kodiak -- and I see you bear the mark of their Order -- then, yes. I am the man you sent for. I have heard of your valor, Darklord, and that of the Lady you serve. It will be an honor to serve you both.”

I sent for a mercinary last week. One to aid me in security and the spy network. I was thinking he would never arrive.

     The Keyholder looks from one man to the other. “Yes, Lord Marshall. An explanation would be nice and I'll expect it as soon as the situation is secure.”
