[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 3748190, member: 3448"] The Council met the fey in one of the audience chambers, with Alistair appearing as a projected image. The fey was not very large and carried a long, tassled scroll. He bowed in the complex fey matter. “On behalf of King Michael O’Brien of the Silent Wood, I bring greetings and message to the Archduchess and Empress of Canberry.” The messenger was young and wore the livery of the King of the Silent Wood. He appeared irate, but unaware that anything was wrong. The four-year wait wasn’t long enough, more like an extra day for a human. “There is a rising in the East and the West. Those in the North who seek godhood have raised up their fortifications and prepare to make the blood sacrifice. Now is the time for all who serve the gods of good and light.” “We thank you for this message,” replied Alistair. “The Archduchess Amelia has passed, but we assure you, as her heir and as the new Archduke and Emperor, that we will act. We have learned of these activities through our own means, and we have set our plans to deal with them in motion. May we ask who it is that comes before us?” The fey bowed again. “I am Sir Thistledown, of King Michael’s guard.” “Welcome, Sir Thistledown, and be assured that the old alliances remain firm. We will send you with what intelligence we have that it may aid your liege. How did you come to know of the threat?” “King Michael was alerted by kidnappings of children. A foul business, and our investigations revealed that it was worse even than we had believed. Also, there were encounters with followers of the old gods, who had not been seen in the south since before my birth.” “Indeed.” The Council briefly described their similar findings, thanked Sir Thistledown, and had him shown out. Dame Brionna scowled after he left. “If Deborah Brightspan weren’t already dead, I could kill her for this.” “At least it was a fey ambassador,” said Alistair. “If we had unknowingly incarcerated a human ambassador for four years, it could have caused a war. But we also need to do some more work on the Privy Secretary front. We’re still turning up surprises.” “Did we ever search her personal quarters?” asked Kit. “I remember ordering them sealed, but I can’t remember ordering them searched,” said Dame Brionna. “Well, let’s get on that.” Kit nodded. “I’ll send a team of my people to handle it.” “Make sure you send some people with both magical and psionic capabilities. There may be traps, or concealed secrets,” said Dame Brionna. “Please. You think my people are amateurs? We’ll take care of it.” “We never searched Caldra and Caligshire, either, did we? Either their estates or their townhouses.” “I’ll get people on those as well, m’lord.” “And what about Deborah Brightspan’s mother?” asked Dame Brionna. “We had the Duke of Brightspan investigating her. I don’t want to offend him by acting too heavily in his duchy. Still, I’ll have Father Waters use a sending to the Duke of Brightspan’s chaplain asking for an update.” [/QUOTE]
