OOC: I have quite enjoyed catching up with all your posts! Especially of course reading about the Magic Kingdom and Abby's fairy godmother lol. [\ooc]

OOC: OOC: I thought that you might enjoy those posts!

"Sixty years? That is what I would call settled. What brought you to France from the Americas, if it isn't too bold of me to ask, of course."

Pepe replies, "Prison".

After a long pause Maracita exclaims "Pepe! You can't just give that as an answer!" She looks towards Abby and says, "Pepe and I met at the turn-of-the-century at a magic seminar in Mexico City. After we were wed we moved back to my native Peru.

In 1821 Peru did what your United States did forty-five years earlier and declared independence from our European overlords. And the Spanish Empire reacted to us the same as the British Empire did to your country and sent an army to pacify the rebels. As skilled wizards, Pepe and I both joined with the rebel army. We were captured and imprisoned in Pamplona, Spain.

In 1823 the army of France's King Louis XVIII invaded Spain and Pamplona was one of the cities they captured. The prison was liberated and we came to Paris along with dozens of freed French political prisoners. Shortly thereafter we were hired by Sophia Elizabeth Stuart." "Meagan's mother", Cal interjects.

Abby smiled at Pepe. She could appreciate a succinct answer.

Turning her attention back to Maracita she asked, "And have you never wished to return to Peru? My travels have mostly been here in Europe and Egypt, but I have met a few people from Peru in New Orleans and the country they describe sounds absolutely beautiful."

...she asked, "And have you never wished to return to Peru? My travels have mostly been here in Europe and Egypt, but I have met a few people from Peru in New Orleans and the country they describe sounds absolutely beautiful."

Maracita replies, "We have gone back for visits, but this is now our home. We have marvelous jobs and responsibilities here, and are just a stone's throw away from one of the greatest cities in the world."

Callum says, "Well, I for one am glad to have you here in France. And I am also glad to have you here now with us in the carriage. It seems that I have once again angered my cousin, this time for being too forthcoming with information to Abigail." The two elves exchange glances. Pepe can barely suppress a chuckle while Maracita just rolls her eyes.

Callum continues, "Meghan however, mistakenly thinks that Abigail is just here for a social visit. For the last week she has taken a much greater role on the world stage, which dovetails with much that we do here. Have you been following the events in Egypt?"

Pepe says, "Yes, the British fought a major battle with the Egyptian rebels three days ago and had another clash early this morning." Callum says, "Yes, although the real war has been with the Weekly Wizards group of Paris, they instigated the entire war, with an end goal of ruling Egypt itself. But they have now been permanently stopped by the combined efforts of my Torchwood team and Abigail's archaeology team, led by Willamina Hamilton Parker." Pepe says, "Hamilton...wasn't that Henrietta Verne's friend?" "The same," states Callum.

"You say that you stopped them?" Maracita says. Callum says, "And then some, their team is effectively decapitated. Of the twelve leaders, the aces, kings and queens, only Duruy and de Guizman remain, and they are now far more sympathetic to our goals.

We had a great deal of help with this Pepe, specifically three unique beings, the Egyptian Goddess Bast, the Asgardian dragon-lady, and your Great Uncle, Manual Gonzales."

Upon hearing that name Maracita again rolls her eyes and laughs out "And was he dating the Goddess, the dragon-lady, or both?"

One of Neferka's younger sisters decides to join them as well. The Chariot soon departs. Ruby had riden on it before, and George had been told what to expect, but Lawrence is in awe of the fantastic speed at which the carpet travels over the sands. They very quickly put the distant pyramids and Nile river behind them, making their way steadily towards the Zakazik region.

"So, now that you're Queen I suppose you have a lot more responsibilities," Ruby said to Nerferka. "After getting some well earned rest, have you thought of your next moves? Meeting up with your husband being one of your priorities I am sure."

"Actually, getting the British Army out of Egypt is my top priority now. My father invited them, I can un-invite them."

Upon hearing that name Maracita again rolls her eyes and laughs out "And was he dating the Goddess, the dragon-lady, or both?"

"Neither, although Mrs. Parker's Granddaughter referred to him as her teacher.

Queen Neferka was none too pleased with the behavior of the Weekly Wizards group. Her judgment was harsh, but not unearned. I can't say I could show mercy to the murderers of my family, either.

I didn't do so much. Helped get Cal's people out from the French camp and interferred with the plan to poison the banquet. Other than that I mostly stood around waiting to see if anything needed to be hit. Although I did nearly get my arms pulled from the sockets stopping a couple of the wizards from getting away down the Nile using a magical engine for a boat."

She looked around at the other three passengers in the carriage. "I'm obviously missing some familial by-play here, but I can see you've brought me into something bigger here, Cal."

Callum says sarcastically, "Right, she didn't do much. She just prevented the entire Egyptian Royal family and guests from being poisoned, and then decided to directly fight the weekly wizards."

She looked around at the other three passengers in the carriage. "I'm obviously missing some familial by-play here, but I can see you've brought me into something bigger here, Cal."

Callum says, "Okay, I'll summarize this quickly, as I really do need to sleep. Mary Stuart left our family to protect and study the magical earth-magic well, which the family has done for centuries. I am the current landholder, and invited my cousin Meagan to come here and help, as she is a very powerful sorceress. She's also an extreme pain-in-the-butt to all of us, but as the most powerful magic-user on the property and also a Stuart who embraces Mary's vision, we need her.

I anticipate that tomorrow she'll call together the Stuart Magic Council, which is comprised of her, myself, cousin Charles, Pepe and Maracita, and for the umpteenth time, attempt to have me stripped of the landholder job and have it given to her. I thought it would be helpful for Pepe and Maracita to meet you before then. That's it in a nutshell."

"Actually, getting the British Army out of Egypt is my top priority now. My father invited them, I can un-invite them."

"Of course, you are in charge now. I assume they will leave peacefully but I guess you never know. Is there anything George or I can help you with?"

"Of course, you are in charge now. I assume they will leave peacefully but I guess you never know. Is there anything George or I can help you with?"

She says, "Well, the British Empire has a history of going into places and deciding to stay. But they do need me to repay Egypt's loans to their banks and also want use of the canal, so I have considerable power for the negotiations. On the other hand, being married now to the leader of the army they just fought won't make these talks any easier. Any assistance that you can George can provide will be appreciated."
