[QUOTE="talien, post: 3512283, member: 3285"] [b]Adventus Regis - Part 17a: The Senator’s Box[/b] Cloaked by his magic, Sebastian crept to the senator’s box. Two skillfully worked columns flanked a stout open door. The seal of Coryan was carved onto it surface. Upon the seal was painted the triscalion symbol of the strange King, his yellow sign. The paint still appeared wet and glowing, almost pulsing as if it were alive. A single red rose hung above the seal, secured to the door. Sebastian slipped through the open doorway. Inside, a short, heavyset man and a tall, beautiful woman knelt on the floor. They were well dressed, in robes of white embroidered with the yellow sign. Pale masks lay beside them on the carpet. A third man, Livius Carbo, was seated at a desk beside a large padded settee, busily writing. His hand moved quickly, making notes and corrections, glancing towards the couch as if waiting further instructions. All three appeared in rapture. Draped over the couch was the dead body of the local prefect, Octavius. But something horrible had happened to it. It oozed and flowed over the settee, one foot spilling onto the carpets. It appeared boneless and unnatural, like an octopus hauled onto the deck of a fishing boat. Although he did not fully understand what was happening, Sebastian knew that the book Livius was writing in must have been very important. It didn’t take him long to decide what to do. It was a spell he had used before, dumping a chamber pot on an overzealous thug. “Magis attrecto!” The book flew out from underneath Livius’ quill and spiraled into the darkness of the arena. It landed with a light plop. With a shriek of horror, Livius dove after it, right off the balcony onto the soft sand. Slowly, the eyes set into drooping sockets turned towards Sebastian, focusing on him despite his invisibility. The tongue twitched as it wheezed. It drew breath into itself and spoke in a groaning, deep voice. “It seems we are interrupted. Welcome to my court.” [/QUOTE]
