     Penthesilea prevails on her new Lord Marshall to remain at the Castle long enough for her and the Healers to be sure that the spell has healed him completely and to have a good meal. Then, Penthesilea Gates him back to the front and the army.  Jasmine gives him a worshipful look and a little wave just as he turns to walk through it. Then he’s gone and Penth closes the Gate.

     Jasmine stares longingly at the spot where Kodiak last stood. Then she shakes herself and turns to Penthesilea. “My Lady, can you tell me where Sir Michael is? He sent me a basket of delicacies this morning and I’d like to thank him.”

     Jasmine pouted, ever so slightly. “I guess I just have to wait up to thank him then.  I suppose an afternoon nap would help.”

     “Will the bonfire still go on as planned, my Lady” Jasmine asked.

     Points toward a meadow between the lake and the Castle.  “Those who wish to participate will gather there. Since we are apparently the targets of a hostile entity, I shall be communicating with my agents in various lands to see what they know.”

     Jasmine chewed her lip thoughtfully. “I think that I’ll spend the night at Paradise Valley. I should check the defenses just in case since the Darklord says that there is danger.” She looks at Penthesilea. “You could come with me. You would be safe there and the Valley can provide everything you could possibly desire.”

     Penth hugs Jasmine.  “I will certainly consider it. Sometimes I miss the days when I had only myself and my girls to worry about.”

     “You are welcome at any time, to stay for an hour or forever!” Penthesilea is a bit taken aback by Jasmine’s offer.

     “It cannot be forever. I know all too well what would happen if the Nexus under this Castle was left unguarded! But I will erect a Gate between my Castle and your valley so we can both come and go easily!”

     Kodiak arrived at his army’s camp and summoned the various commanders to give his orders. He would not fail Penthesilea and the others at the Castle who were depending on him. He hadn’t known them all that long but the Castle already felt like home to him.

     The new day dawns and the festivities continue but the Keyholder is preoccupied with thoughts of war.

     MoonCat and Spirit join their mother for FirstMeal at the High Table.
     “Trust Kodiak, Mom,” MoonCat said as she salted her eggs. “I do. He’s hasn’t been here long but it ‘feels’ to me like he belongs here.”
     “I have the same feeling, Mother,” Spirit added as she spooned sugar into her cereal. “He loves the Castle. I can tell. And, I think, that he may love us too. Trust him.”

     “I know and I do trust him. It just goes against my grain to let someone else do my fighting! But if anything gets past him, I must be here to do battle!

     The girls both laugh. “We know, Mom,” MoonCat says. “And we would just as soon be out there with him too!”
     “But as you pointed out,” Spirit said, continuing her sister’s thought “someone has to be here in case something gets around him. I honestly don’t think anything could get through him!”
     They finish eating and are walking through the Ballroom when they encounter Bladeraven.

     “The Gremlins are going to be armed for the duration of the emergency. Anyone else who is trained to fight should be armed at all times as well. We don't know who the enemy is, when or even if, the battle will come here. If it comes, there may be little or no warning.”

     Bladeraven nodded. “Just like old times.”
     “Afraid so, it never seems to end,”  Penthesilea replied. She knew what Bladey was thinking. They had just gotten themselves out of one war zone and another seemed to be springing up on their doorstep.  MoonCat and Spirit were grown women and more than able to defend themselves. Bladey's son, Grasshopper, was not, for all that they made jokes about his fondness for the sword. That he was warrior material was obvious but it would be a dozen years or more before he was ready to march into battle! “Try not to worry, Bladey. I’ve ordered all the nursery workers as well as Grasshopper’s nanny to be armed. Even the mildest Elf maiden is death in gossamer when the young are threatened and never, EVER threaten a child when a Smallkin woman is around!” Bladeraven smiled but she still had a touch of worry in her eyes for all that the what Penthesilea had said was true. The nursery workers would die and, more importantly, kill to protect their charges. The Castle’s nursery area was well protected and, of course, any foe trying to reach the children would have to get through the Castle’s defenders first!  Still, Bladey was a mother and it was a mother’s lot to worry.

     Jasmine came up to the little group and it was obviously furious.  “I went to the new settlements between Crowhaven and the Mile Wall to get help in defending the Castle and they refused to come! How dare they?”
     MoonCat and Spirit regarded Jasmine with well concealed distaste. They knew their mother’s habit of taking in strays usually worked out well but they were having their doubts about this one. With a nod to their mother and Bladey, they went off to the job Moonie had set herself during FirstMeal  and Spirit was going along to help. It would be fun.

     Jasmine indignation remained undimmed. “They wouldn’t have homes if it wasn’t for the Castle! They owe you!”
     “No one owes me anything,” Penthesilea replied. “I have demanded no Oaths of Loyalty.”
     Jasmine seemed unsure. “I suppose that if no oaths have been given, they are not bound to defend the Castle. Perhaps you won’t need them. You have your knights and the Castle Guard.”

     Bladeraven checked the charge in the blaster that she wore on her hip.  “Think we will be having ‘guests for ThirdMeal,’” she asked.
