From the Office of the Castle Healer:


The Keyholder is resting comfortably and is expected to be conscious later in the day. The Keyholder's daughters ask that you continue preparations for the spring planting party.

MoonCat & SpiritFire's Study

MoonCat: You know what we are going to have to do, don't you?

SpiritFire: We've put it off for too long and there really is no reason to delay.

MoonCat: We will begin the preparatory meditation now and do it this afternoon. Then, we will start on Ashera's project.

SpiritFire: Agreed.

     Confident that the Keyholder will quickly recover from her injuries and that their younger sibs, the Black Huntress and the Black Prince, have the unexpected infestation of strange vermin in paw, the two elder feline demigoddesses, the Hearth Queen and the War Queen, decide to speak to their mother, Bastet, about certain stirrings around the Castle.

     The Keyholder, her arm still in a sling but otherwise healed, wanders in.  “Bladey, ale will not solve the problem of a hangover! Chocolate, however....”

The Keyholder's Private Temple

     Far from the disturbances in the kitchen, MoonCat and SpiritFire have finished their meditations. They stand before an ancient tome on a bookstand. It is open..

MoonCat: I suppose I should go first since I'm the oldest. Gods, I'm scared.

     SpiritFire takes her sister's hand. “Every Keyholder has made these Declarations. The words are thousands, maybe millions of years old. The only way that we can help Mother with her work is to make them too.”  Squeezes MoonCat's hand. “We'll read them together.”

MoonCat & SpiritFire, together:

From the Light of God that I am, I hereby declare that my team of guides shall, as soon as any transference can be made, be comprised only of members of 100 percent pure Light who have never been reprogrammed by entities of the Dark.

From the Light of God that I am, I hereby declare that the entity that is my Primary Guide shall be an entity of 100 percent pure Light that has never been reprogrammed by entities of the Dark, with such change, if necessary, to be made as soon as possible.

From the Light of God that I am, I hereby declare that my consciousness mix should be converted, if necessary, to a mix of 100 percent pure Light of entities that have never been reprogrammed by those of the Dark. I further declare that this conversion should take place as soon as possible, but preferably during evening hours as I sleep and as gently as possible in order that I might continue my normal daily routines.

From the Light of God that I am, I call forth that all things, whether animate or inanimate, within or around me, my home, yard or place of business, be immediately deactivated from use as "directional beacons" by those who are not of 100 percent pure Light. I further declare that when this has been accomplished it shall be irrevocable and permanent.

From the Light of God that I am, I call forth that no energies, entities or beings are to be allowed anywhere near me at any time that are not of 100 percent pure Light. I further declare this to be irrevocable and permanent.

From the Light of God that I am, be it known that I hereby cancel all contracts and/or agreements I have made with ANY entity in any time frame or in any reality, that were not in my best interest, or in the interest of the Light, or were made with entities who were not of 100 percent pure Light. I further declare that the cancellation of all such contracts is to be irrevocable and permanent in all time frames and realities.

From the Light of God that I am, I ask those who walk with me to begin the healing process of my body. I also ask that healing begin for my children and for my pets.

*MoonCat and SpiritFire step back from the book.*

MoonCat: What happens now?

SpiritFire: We wait.

MoonCat: I just thought of something. Neither of us have kids.

SpiritFire: Don't worry about it.

(Declarations 1 through 6 are from "Dear God! What's Happening to Us?" copyright 2003 by Lynn Grabhorn. Declaration 7 is from "Planet Two" copyright 2004 by Lynn Grabhorn.)

#1412 [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

     A few days later, Jasmine arrives at the Castle with a small cart filled with fine fabrics and other luxuries which she has purchased in Crowhaven’s Market district. After being told that Penthesilea is unavailable, she has the cart unloaded and the goods taken into the Keyholder’s tower.

The Keyholder's Tower - Catacomb Entrance

     The massive door swings open and the Keyholder, her daughters, four cats and a dozen knights emerge. They are hot, sweaty, dirty and tired but quietly satisfied.

Keyholder: We did good work, people. We destroyed that eggcase before it could hatch and cleaned out some other nasties before they could get a foothold in this Reality. Consider yourselves off duty for the next 24 hours. Dismissed.

     Amid a chorus of "Thank you, my lady," the knights leave the Tower. The Keyholder drops into the nearest chair. Her daughters follow suit. The cats take up stations in their laps with the Hearth Queen and the Black Prince tumbling around in MoonCat's lap.

Keyholder: At least we won't be overwhelmed by a couple hundred five and a half feet tall, people eating praying mantises. That alone was worth the trouble.

SpiritFire: We still don't know how the first one got out of the catacombs.

Keyholder: Don't remind me.

MoonCat: Ashera has me working on a project for her that may help.

Keyholder: Do tell. *MoonCat does.....*

     The Keyholder arises with the fervent hope that the day's activities do not include any more giant, people eating insects of any sort! She decides to spend the morning studying.  There is a situation that is going to cause a problem in the future, how soon she doesn’t know, and she has to find a solution before the situation becomes critical.

The Main Courtyard

     The giant wolf, Fenris, arrives in the Courtyard with a message for the Keyholder and an appetite. Five hundred pounds of fresh, raw meat are immediately provided in a very large bowl.... The Keyholder sits on the edge of the fountain to read the message while the Black Prince tries to eat her fingers.

#1419  [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

     Jasmine regards the giant lupine with some concern given his proximity to Penthesilea. She waits until the great beast takes Penthesilea’s answer back to his master before approaching her.  “I left you a gift a few days ago, my Lady. Did you like it?”

     “Yes, I did and it is much appreciated. I'm sorry I wasn't here to greet you. There was a small matter of a people eating preying mantis to take care of. Don't want things like that running around the countryside!”

     “I’m sorry that I wasn’t here to help,” Jasmine replies.  “I’ve decided to establish a sanctuary a few miles from here in a little valley I found and that is where I’ve been.”

     “It came up rather suddenly. One minute I was curled up with a good book and the next, the Castle was in lockdown and I was chasing a big vicious bug across the fields in the dark. Then, I spent about twelve hours in the Infirmary. After that, I led a team down into the Catacombs to see if there were any more nasty surprises. There were. *slyly* Why don't you ask Sir Michael about it? He acquitted himself nobly.”

     Jasmine produces a rose for Penthesilea through sleight of hand. Penth sees the trick -- she always does -- but pretends not to and smiles.
