They reach the point where the road from The Ancient Keep intersects the main southeastern road through the city. The royal carriage is lying on its side, the horses still hitched to it. The side door of the carriage is open, on what is now the roof, and General Aaron can be seen protectively looking out from it. </p><p></p><p>Serita notices General Teakas heading up the outer wall of an adjacent three story building by some sort of magical means. On the roof of that building are six bodies, three with white hot armor and the flesh afire, the other three with visible signs of puncture wounds. Bows are lying near each body. </p><p></p><p>She starts to descend towards the carriage when she spots two women moving out from the same building towards the carriage. One is the woman with dark clothing who she found four days ago and the other appears to be herself. She hands the bag to the hawk and points to the carriage, then heads directly towards the women. As soon as the women spot the dragon they turn and run into the alleyway beside the building. </p><p></p><p>Aaron’s hawk returns to its master, handing him the bag. He climbs down and empties the four members of the Silver Moon party from it, Vinnie being left inside due to a lack of room in the overturned carriage. Queen Jennifer stands wielding her longsword and protectively shielding her husband who is cowering in the corner. Mojo shakes his head in disgust, commenting “Gee Matthan. Same backbone as usual.” Aaron tells them that as they were turning onto the main road the left wheels fell off and the carriage fell on its side. They were initially attacked by arrows and bolts coming from the building to the right. He sent his bird to go get help and General Teakas went to deal directly with the attackers. The most recent attacks on the carriage were from a pair of fast-moving spears from the building to the left. </p><p></p><p>They decide that getting the Royals to safety is the top priority. Mark has the King and Queen get into the Bag of Holding, which allows enough room for Vincenzo to exit it. “Have the bird fly it back” Mojo instructs Aaron. He replies “No, they weren’t expecting my bird to fly away last time, and were only able to fire a few arrows after him. This time that is what they’ll be anticipating, and are probably waiting to shoot him down.” </p><p></p><p>Aaron then asks “Do any of you have invisibility?” Mojo says “I have a ring, but I doubt the bird can wear it.” Aaron answers “You use it. Put the bird and the bag under your arm and go.” Mojo complains, “Hey, I came here to fight, not play invisible linebacker.” Vincenzo says “You want the Queen to be safe, don’t you? Mojo reluctantly does as instructed, heading off across the street and down the alleyway to the left. He gives the bird the Bag of Holding and releases it. The hawk flies back in the direction of the auction house. </p><p></p><p>Meanwhile, Serita descends towards the two women, letting out a loud dragon screech to alert her allies as to where she it. As before, the woman with the swords drops to her knee in a defensive stance, crossing her hands behind her towards the sabers on her back, with a look challenging Serita to fly closer. Serita however ignores her, focusing upon her counterpart from the alternate reality, saying “Stop.” The counterpart looks at the dragon, and says in a venomous tone “You idiot. Why are you coming after us? We’re trying to save the Queen’s life from the assassins.” Serita answers “I don’t believe you.” </p><p></p><p>Back on the street, Mojo heard the dragon’s screech from the alleyway across the street. He invisibly hurries back the carriage and yells down to his allies “It sounds like Serita may be in trouble. Let’s go.” The others start to climb out. </p><p></p><p>Back in the alleyway, Serita’s counterpart looks up at the dragon and says “Believe what you’d like. This is all your fault to begin with.” “How do you figure that?” the dragon replies. The other Serita answers “I’m only working with them because of you. You’re the one working with the priests of Ukko and the Twin Gods. I’m only working with Loviatar to restore the balance that you have upset.” Serita replies “Bull****, this isn’t your world and you don’t belong here. If anyone has upset the balance it is you.” The woman replies “You idiot. While you are wasting your time with us the assassins are getting to the Queen!” The dragon replies “I’m not believing anything from anyone, including me, who is in league with Loviatar.”</p><p></p><p>Above on the roof, General Teakas has made her way over to the roofs edge and looks down upon the encounter. She is unable to ascertain who the actual enemy is, being even more confused by the Loviatar comment. The woman in dark clothing stands, and begins to walk further away. The dragon says “Don’t even think about it. I’m not in a very good mood.” The dragon then gestures to the other Serita and adds “And you already know what she is like when she’s in a bad mood.” The enemy Serita says “I don’t have time for this. Goodbye.” “Wrong answer” the dragon states, and flies in closer. </p><p></p><p>While this exchange between the Serita’s is taking place the other woman holds her arms out horizontally, and dark wings begin to form alongside the side of her body from her writs to ankles. The dragon dives at her to prevent this, the woman immediately collapsing her arms back to her sides, the wings dissipating. The dragon rake claws at the woman’s arms and face. The other Serita begins to move, and the dragon then flies back to where she can watch both of them. The now wounded woman now draws both of her magical sabers from the ‘X-shaped’ sheathes on her back and yells up at the dragon “Try that again” followed by an explicative. </p><p></p><p>Back in the carriage, there is an argument about what to do. Mojo tells them to get out, but they voice concern about become targets. Mojo says “Fine, if you want to cower here and pretend that you are the Queen go right ahead.” Mark answers “That’s easy for you to say, you’re invisible. Vincenzo decides to levitate up and out, only to be skewered through the arm by a swiftly moving spear from a third floor window across the street. He lowers himself down behind the carriage for cover. Mark follows, being hit in the chest by a similar spear, which despite the force that it hits barely penetrates his armor’s chest plate. Mark stands there dumbfounded, until Furynick yells up “Hey, you want some paint to put some red circles on that armor?” Mark takes the hint, and jumps down beside Vincenzo behind the carriage. Inside, Aaron and Furynick decide to create themselves a new exit from the carriage, using their swords to pry a hole in what had been once been it’s roof. </p><p></p><p>The standoff in the alley continues, with the two Serita’s verbal tennis match. The woman I the dark clothing tells her “It will be your fault that the Queen is dead.” The dragon replies “All taken care of. Did you think I came alone?” The woman in dark clothing again attempts break through the closed wooden shutters on an adjacent window in the building. The shutter breaks off. The dragon moves towards her, and the other Serita uses this opportunity to transform into an osprey, and flies quickly around the nearest corner. The dragon flies back up, but has now lost sight of the bird, which flew into open upper window in the building. A few minutes later those by the carriage see the osprey fly out of the building and across the street, towards the window that the spears had come from. Vincenzo tosses a Dispel Magic onto the bird, for no effect, and it enters the window. </p><p></p><p>The other woman now attempts to jump through the partially opened window, but gets stuck. The dragon dives at her again. The woman thrusts the sword in her left hand upward into the rapidly approaching dragon for 19 points of damage. Ignoring the pain and the sword stuck into her, the dragon closes her claws in on the woman’s arm and rakes the flesh, destroying the magical clothing in the process. “Scratch on pair of bat wings” the dragon states. She then flies up, pulling the woman by her mangled arm and intentionally dislocating it. </p><p></p><p>Back at the carriage they see the dragon fly out from the alley with the woman. Mojo comments “Hey, Serita is finally doing something useful. She’s picking up women.” Furynick mumbles “I hope she has one for me too.” The woman is up to a height of 15 feet, and begins to swing her remaining saber over with her other hand. Serita throws the woman downward with full force to prevent from being hit by the sword, the woman rapidly falling to the ground and landing very ungraciously. </p><p></p><p>While this is going on Teakas uses her magic to descend from the building, pointing her crossbow between the woman lying on the ground and the dragon. “Who are you?” she asks the dragon. “Serita,” the dragon answers. “Then who was that?” the dwarf asks. “Not me. She works for Loviatar, it’s a long story” the dragon replies. The woman on the ground begins to move. She sheathes her remaining sword onto her back, and begins to stand up, telling the dragon and General “I surrender.” “First smart thing you’ve said,” the dragon replies. </p><p></p><p>The woman staggers and leans against the building, saying “I think I’m going to pass out.” Serita replies “Yeah, why don’t I believe that?” also noticing that the woman now has her knees bent and the muscles in the arm are tightening against the wall. Serita ponders what the woman is doing, and then reminds herself that this woman used Boots of Leaping and Striding during the battle four nights ago. The woman then launches herself upward to escape, but Serita had anticipated that move and intercepts, grabbing the woman in midair with both dragon claws. Teakas also manages to fire a pair of crossbow bolts into the woman. Serita digs her claws in deeper, saying “I’ve had enough of you”, until the woman actually is on the verge of unconsciousness. She then flies back down to Teakas, who helps tie up the woman, and they then strip her of her possessions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
