	#2150 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Jasmine had been watching the proceedings carefully and was relieved to hear that the newcomer was Penthesilea�s brother. The prospect of yet another man paying court to the Keyholder was not something that she wanted to consider. While she was certainly up for the challenge, seducing both the Lord Marshall and this man was not something she wished to tackle at the moment. When the Lord Marshall returned she would have to step up her campaign to secure his affections. She had made a bit of headway in that department while using Sir Michael to both ease her carnal desires and to raise the energy necessary for her spellwork but her father was growing impatient with her and she needed to show him some concrete results and soon.

	#2151 Penthesilea Notices Jasmine noticing Daemon.... �You know, Daemon. You are freaking out my protectors. You're lucky you didn't have to fight your way in. Everyone's been jumpy since a vampire tried to make an eternal entree out of me!�

	#2152 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Miranda allowed herself one furtive admiring look at the Keyholder�s brother before she turned her attention back to Alexander. Daemon was handsome to be sure, almost godlike, but she preferred her men with a bit more of a rough edge and in that regard, Alexander was Daemon�s superior. She smiled winsomely and casually placed her hand on Alexander�s chest. His reaction was most agreeable...

	#2153 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Penthesilea introduced Daemon to several more people before they encountered Jasmine and Coral who had been standing at the edge of the crowd watching for anything or anyone suspicious. Introductions were made and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Penthesilea and her brother moved on.

	#2154 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �So, how much were you able to save?� Penthesilea asked quietly as soon as the most pressing introductions were done.

	#2155 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �I have about one hundred and fifty people with me plus five hundred of the gremlins. They took some losses but they were minor. We also got the bats out and our boys stripped the Keep�s Armory before they fired it. That smarmy little bastard will have to hold the Keep with flintlocks and swords,� Daemon replied. �We left the bats, the weaponry and the gremlin clans at some caves we found on the way in. I thought that was a good idea until I knew what your situation was.�

	#2156 Penthesilea �Yeah, that�s probably wise,� Penthesilea replied.

	#2157 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �So, what is the situation,� Daemon asked.

	#2158 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �It was about what I expected. The Castle was overrun with various nasty things. We�ve gotten most of them cleaned out but I suspect that there still could be unpleasant surprises that escaped into the neighborhood. I don�t have time to comb the area for them so I�m going to have to wait until they show up. Grai was here but had to move on -- you know Grai -- and we�ve had the usual bandit problems which is where my Lord Marshall is at the moment.�

	#2159 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �You have a Lord Marshall?� Daemon couldn�t resist the temptation to tease his older sister. �Are you getting soft in your old age that you are letting a man lead your troops?�

	#2160 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �Haul your sorry butt into the Training Hall and I�ll show you how �soft� I�m getting!� She snarled and then she sighed. �I can�t leave the Castle right now, at least not long enough to lead troops in the field. The Castle needs the Keyholder to be in residence to keep the Reality Nexus from ripping open more than it already has. It�s stabilizing, fewer things are getting through and fewer �doors� are appearing but right now and for the near future, I�m stuck here.�

	#2161 Penthesilea Sees Lord Stephan heading for Miranda. He is intercepted by a dignified lady who insists that he dance with her.

	#2162 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �And who is the �lucky� man who gets to defend your life and lands� Daemon asked. �The Darklord Kodiak showed up and assumed the job. He was in the field and leading an army he raised himself before I even knew there was a threat. I believe that you have heard of him.�

	#2163 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Daemon whistled long and low. �And what, dear sister, could you offer him that would prompt him to do that since the obvious hero�s reward isn�t currently available?� The flash of pain that crossed Penthesilea�s face didn�t escape Daemon�s notice. �Gods, Penth! I�m sorry.� Normally, such teasing would not have bothered his sister but Daemon knew her well enough to realize what few others did.

	#2164 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �It was bound to happen. The Litany was never meant to be a permanent solution and it has finally failed.� A sad, tiny smile touched her lips. �I should have realized that the Litany against Desire would be no match for the notorious Darklord Kodiak�s charm. Now all I have to do is find a way to keep him alive.�

	#2165 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] �Does he,� Daemon let the question trail off. �We are friends. Beyond that, I have no idea. It would certainly be safer for him if he felt nothing for me.� Penthesilea looked to where Jasmine stood talking to one of the guards from Paradise Valley. �Jasmine seems to be falling in love with him and she is attractive. Perhaps she will be able to distract him.�

	#2166 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Daemon followed the direction of his sister�s gaze. �She is attractive enough but she is as a candle to bonfire next to you. The Darklord would be a fool not to desire you.� �That may be but he would be a live fool.� Penthesilea noticed Sir Michael watching Jasmine as she flirted with the guardsman. �Of course, if she pledges to the Darklord, Jasmine will likely have to break things off with Sir Michael. I�m not sure what either man�s position is on group handfast.�

	#2167 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Miranda broke out of the crowd and the siblings tabled the subject of the Darklord. Daemon suspected that the subject was difficult for his sister and would become moreso before it was done. �My lady, I want to thank you for getting your friends to run interference for me with Lord Stephan. You know how he can be.�

	#2168 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] While the women spoke, Daemon took the opportunity to scan the crowd for the gremlins who had come with him. It would not do for him to be seen paying too much attention to Miranda�s cleavage. He finally spotted them helping to tend the bar. �It would seem that the gremlins that came with me have decided to make themselves at home. You appear to have a new bar tending staff.�

	#2169 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Jasmine had kept a discreet eye on Sir Michael while she flirted with the guardsman. It would not do for the knight to believe that her attentions were exclusively his. Jealously was second only to lust as a potent source of power and Jasmine was adept at inciting both emotions in any man she chose. When she had achieved her goal with the guardsman, she smiled and left him, walking towards Sir Michael. He was glowering at her but his expression softened as she approached. By the time she reached his side, he had forgiven her.

Not with Sir Alexander around!� She grins. �Besides, you should have some fun on your birthday!�

With this crowd, we need all the help we can get! The gremlins that came with me are better at building things and taking them apart than tending bar!� Thinks. �They blow stuff up very well too!�

	#2172 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] Miranda snorted in exasperation. �Well if Lord Stephan doesn�t quit drilling the troops on the green under my bedroom window at the crack of dawn, I may take matters into my own hands and put him out of my misery!�

	#2174 [Rewritten by Penthesilea] The mention of troops being drilled catches Daemon�s attention. �More troubles, sis?�
