The Twins Weave CH:3
Treachery:
Training is the same as it is every day, we focus on the principles and answer questions about what has been read so far. I keep reminding them that I didn't even start until I finished book three.
Mother and Evanora are off to the side and discussing what they read and doing spells randomly to see if the other can see them. Mother evocation and Evanora divination.
Abi is sitting on Mother's bed focused on something else, so we leave her be.
Harold is on book three and he seems to really want to do this and hasn't been his normal bully type self since we had the group meeting. He's got a goal to re-attain and is pushing to get there. They work together as a duo.
"Okay, we have a problem." Abi looks over, getting Father to come here now. Abi waves us off and goes back to what she was doing, "We'll talk when he gets here."
"What is it?" Father says as he walks in.
"The Princesses are upset that they are not allowed to attend the event, and the King has the same blanks in his memory that you and mother have," Abi replies. "I started searching the guards and I think the four were decoys and it is all of them as all but the four also have blanks in their memories."
"Is this what the King mentioned? You were missing something and to dig deeper?" I ask from his last remarks. "He said they were scrying him so he couldn't say more."
Now that it is getting closer, I was catching thoughts of capturing the four and then continuing with the plan but couldn't find anything concrete as thoughts and imagination are so close so you can't trust them. Reaching back, I started looking for gaps and found quite a few and they are at the same time each day as if they are getting briefings behind a ward I can't see through.
"We should expect a rather large force coming through the ring, and the portal James makes the night of the dance." Abi finishes.
"The Kings and the Inquisitors both," Father says and starts pacing.
"I can't portal to my Velho room or the library as those two places are probably being trapped or watched but I did walk out the wrong door when searching for the training field that is on an empty side of the Library. I can use that to get close enough to review their plans." I start thinking about what I can do from their side. I don't want to kill them, but I can wipe their memories of ever knowing of us and then work my way through the King's side. We are only talking about a dozen or so people that are organizing this.
"How long will it take?" Father asks.
"Not long. Though I can put a one-way portal to where? In front of the ring so they just keep going?"
"I don't want to keep them here. How about the Wastes?" Father replies.
"Abi? If you can keep everyone outside of the Ring room in Velho, I can disable it and they will have to try and travel to the nearest ring from the island. There's no time, we can figure that out after this first part."
I create a portal in the room and Abi comes over, "We'll be back, Abi will stay in touch."
We step onto the path that leads down to the Ocean along the back half of the Library. Nobody comes out here so we are safe for now. Blocking the door so it will not open.
"Find the two security guards outside the ring, I'll find the eight that are running the show here," I ask and Abi nods.
Finding them is easy as I already have a link with them. Try a sleep on them and they slump down. I start running through the thoughts of the first one, looking for anyone he spoke to about this, and grab the new addition. Removing our information is going to take a while as there are thousands of thoughts for not just me but the family and the agreement with the King. Hate to do this but, I wipe everything and move to the next person and repeat the process until all eight are done and then I search for the additional names and find they are not here, though it is expected as three of the names are kings of their lands. This might be why the King went along, I'll check that later.
Abi is looking at me and I shrug, "They want to harm my people, they at least get to start over."
"The two guards are not going to look into the room," Abi says so I portal into the room and remove the inside connectors leaving just a metal outer ring with a hole in the middle. Next, set my own in there that puts people back into the library down one the very long aisles I walked that nobody else seemed to care about and get back to Abi.
"Let's go home." We portal to istanbul escort (http://www.escortkizrehberi.com/ilan-kategori/istanbul-escort/) father's study and head to the ring room in Tovenaar's office.
"Lord James, Lady Abi?" Tovenaar stands up as we march through his office.
"In a hurry, Father will get you up to speed after, we are going to have to block this off until further notice." Abi says to Tovenaar as I get to the room and add a portal directly in front of the ring that will send anyone that steps through to the same aisle in the Library. Anyone that doesn't physically travel here will end up in Velho for a while. We take the confused Tovenaar out of the office and bar the door and walls so nobody can get in or out without quite a bit of force.
Back in the Mother's room we describe everything we've done since we left and I let them know I'm going to chat with the King via the channel. I take a drink and nod as Father and Abi are connected; she will let them know what is going on.
"Your Majesty, I was wondering if you were actively participating with the plan for this evening or if you were going along because the Inquisitors and other Kings were applying pressure?"
"More of the latter, though they are using some of my guards and some of their own." He replies and I look over at Abi and she nods.
"I wouldn't send your guards through your ring as it could take months to return. I've replaced the inquisitor's ring and every Inquisitor that knows of this has been taken care of and will need to be replaced. Your last message could have been a little less cryptic as they planned on taking your entire kingdom after finishing with me."
"Is that it then?"
"I'll create the portal for Cateline and Amice, you are still to bring the Queen and enjoy yourself but I'm going to need you to challenge the other three kingdoms today. If they attempt to push us around again, they need to do it with more than words. All challenges will be accepted."
"Let me talk to the Queen and see if she can be ready in time." The king replies and we end it there.
"Is it safe to have this still?" Mother asks.
"I'll have guards on high alert, and nobody can get here without physically traveling as the distances are too great without the rings," Father replies.
"Nice work on giving the King continued status on being able to challenge the other Kingdoms, if this doesn't work, he doesn't deserve to remain," Father says to me.
"What did you do to the inquisitors James?" Evanora asks next to mother.
"Ahhh, that; I wiped their memories, it was ugly, but they get a second chance versus the alternative," I reply.
"They can't just be fixed by someone else?" Neivia asks.
"After you learn how to do this, one of you could fix it, but like the wards put up in here, anyone else could batter it out of existence, but can't remove them."
"If this is still on, we need to get back out there and ensure everything is as it should be." Mother claps her thigh and gets up. "Everyone out! We have to check the staff, kitchens, let's go, shoo."
"Okay, she is willing to show up, you are being very generous in keeping things calm." the King sends as I'm walking down the hallway.
"Mother wants this evening to go as smoothly as possible, I'm not going to be the one that messes that up."
"Abi says to ask your daughters if they wish me to escort them here or if they want to appear on their own?"
"Ah Abi, I take it she figured out what I was being cryptic about?"
"She did."
"Why don't you do what Abi does?" The King asks.
"She has a lifetime of organizing and separating imagination, thoughts, and intent in just a few moments. Sorting thousands of thoughts per day per person would take all of my time."
"We can expect the exact same evening as previously planned?" The King seems unsure but I'm guessing he feels trapped.
"Yes." Abi replies. "And they want James to escort them through the portal to make an entrance."
"Of course, they do." The king sighs and says that is fine.
"They will be ready shortly, give us time to finish up here and I'll contact you when we create it in your study."
"Just you?" The king asks.
"I don't need to be there physically to ensure nobody feels the need to bother James," Abi replies.
I get to my room and get dressed for the event and this is by far the best-looking outfit I've ever worn. It fits perfectly.
"Coming to get you, my dear." I send to Neivia and open a portal to her room.
"Ahhh, I'm not ready," Neivia replies as I step through, and her dress is only halfway on.
"Hmmm, are we taking it off or putting it on?" I ask and she stops breasts exposed and looks at me for a moment.
"You look handsome! Help me get this up and we'll get my parents."
Her parents are surprised when istanbul escort bayan (http://www.escortkizrehberi.com/ilan-kategori/istanbul-escort/) I walk downstairs with Neivia as they don't know how I got in.
"I'll get us to the hall and then I have to go get the princesses and escort them in," I explain and her mother gives a hurumph.
"It's okay Mom, he's already mine!" Neivia says and smiles as her mother gives her a surprised look and then she looks at me and I nod.
I throw a portal in front of the door and they both gasp at it.
"Hmm, I suppose that is how you got into our daughters' bedroom?" Her father says after a moment.
"Richard! You are asking in a very inappropriate way." He looks at her and repeats it again adding Lord James and Mazarine groans.
"I have never entered this household other than to fetch Neivia, it appears to be one of my core duties of late," I reply.
"It's why I keep you around." Neivia smiles at all of us. "Let's go." And walks through the portal.
After making sure Neivia's assistant has everything in order and Mother sees to the parents I create the portal to the Kings study and walkthrough. Luckily there aren't 30 guards waiting and nothing needs to happen.
Amice and Cataline are waiting with the King and Queen, after looking around I nod to the King.
"I want to thank you for putting things right James." The queen says and looks over at her husband. "I'd like to get the other half of what I probably understand tonight."
"What things right?" Cataline says immediately.
"We had a few hiccups earlier today on the order of arrangements for this evening. All is good now and we should have a wonderful evening." I reply and the queen smiles at me.
"Hmmm, I've tried a few times to see what is going on with you, but they are not working. You and I are going to have a long chat tonight, James." Cataline states and then realizes she has said too much.
"Cataline, you are not to delve into people like that!" The queen replies immediately.
"Abi is allowed with anyone, and it prevents issues," I answer the queen.
"Just a few more moments," Abi replies and I let them know the same.
"We can talk after about cleaning up the mess made," I say turning towards the King and he nods.
Both princesses have lighter hair and skintone being from the north outside of the desert region and are a bit skinnier than Neivia and Abi. Though extremely pretty, they are a bit too thin for my taste.
"This Neivia that you have been greeting everyone with? She is accompanying you to the dance and?" Amice asks as we sit there.
"She is everything you just mentioned and everything else also." Both princesses make a face of disappointment.
"Good for you James." Queen Denae sounds sincere in her reply.
"Yeah, great." Amice mumbles. "She was the one helping you train your new skills? Did she teach you that?" Amice points at the portal.
"She got me at the discount price and keeps my head from over-inflating. Ahh, Abi is saying we can come through now." I put my arms out for the princesses to take each side and widen the portal just a bit.
"Opportunity missed there." I hear the queen tell the king as we walk through, both princesses were none too happy about that comment when we got to the other side. Though they put on their game faces when the crowd applauded to their entrance.
Walking up to the main table. We stand off to the sides and the King and Queen followed a moment after.
The Queen took a moment to speak to my mother and then turned to the crowd and told them to just ignore them this evening, they would like to just enjoy this with everyone else.
Neivia sat in her chair and flashed me a smile and goes back to talking to her parents. I figured she'd run block or something after the arrival.
"I told her about your everything comments and the queen's response and she is feeling pretty good right now." Abi sends me.
We are situated with me between Neivia and Amice thought that didn't last very long as Cataline argued her way into the seat and the questions began.
"What's going on James, you are the only person that doesn't use our titles and neither father nor mother corrected it back home. Father never lets anyone be that casual, especially the second born to a baron."
"We have an understanding," I answer back.
"Ahh, so it's going to be like this all night. My mother would not have thanked you for fixing a fucking dance schedule."
"How much do you want Cataline to know? She is pretty good at figuring things out so far." I send to the king.
"I'd appreciate it if you kept it us against them, the rest is up to you, she's a mini-Abi." He responds.
"Right there, who were you talking to, I could see you were, but I couldn't see how you did it and it is what I do," escort istanbul (http://www.escortkizrehberi.com/ilan-kategori/istanbul-escort/) Cataline asks.
"Your father, he said to go ahead and tell you what you want to know," I reply. "The quick review, the Inquisitors were going to interrupt us tonight with a few other kings backing them and we put an end to it this afternoon. It was why you couldn't come until it was safe."
"You and I would suppose Abigail with her crazy power took on the inquisitors this afternoon and that's it, it's over already?"
"Yep."
"The wards you put up, the portals and you were learning evocation. That is more than two paths James, you know three, does Abigail know three also because of the twin thing?"
"Yep."
"Fuck, that's impossible and I saw it myself." Cataline takes a drink and sits there. "Though it would explain how you two took them on. I'd give anything to see them get their asses kicked, creepy ass old men."
I laugh and get quiet; the announcements begin as mother thanks everyone for coming and points me out as being the recipient of the honor. I stand up and bow and sit back down to the cheering and clapping. Father comes up and talks about how proud he is of the accomplishment. They then hand it over to me and I stand up and ignore the speech given and repeat what I've said before.
"There was a time before I was blessed to sit here tonight and get the accolades. The want for power or pride was never a factor in a path I have taken for as long as I can remember. Every waking moment was dedicated to just one thing, getting back to my family. The path of pride and power are paved and have signs along the way while the path of love is an overgrown and stubborn path though, in the end, it is the only path that isn't tarnished when you arrive. This is a wonderful evening tonight because I am here with you, and I thank you for that." I sit down and it is rather quiet in the room.
"Well, it appears his mother needs a moment, and I am not sure what comes next." My father says and a few people laugh. The servers start bringing out the food and people begin to talk amongst their tables.
"Nicely done." Neivia hugs me. "You listen well." She smiles and kisses me.
"Rosalea brings my food and gives me a hug as Neivia moves out of the way. "I love you James, that was beautiful." I hug her back and smile, she's going to make me cry.
"Who was that?" Cataline asks.
"Rosalea is the head cook." Neivia answers all weepy herself.
"What? She looked no different than your mother in how she took that. You are very different than your older brother." Cataline is stewing in all the questions she wants to ask.
I create a connection to Cataline "Okay, ask what you want to ask."
Cataline jerks in her seat. "That is four James! And this is what I do! You shouldn't be able to get past my blocks. Is this why I couldn't get past yours?"
"If you are going to chat with Cataline James, don't do it making that face, people will notice," Neivia says after Abi tells her.
Cataline looks around me at Neivia. "You too! You're a conjurer. What is going on around here?"
"What is going on?!" Amice is nudging Cataline.
"You wouldn't fucking believe me if I told you." She replies.
"There we have a channel open with Abi, Neivia, and Amice. I'm not very good at keeping all of these conversations going one at a time. Though you are going to have to put up with the lack of titles in the answers, we don't have the time for it."
Amice almost chokes on her food and coughs when I speak.
Cataline starts it off, "getting Amice up to date so we can continue, so far it appears James knows four paths that I've counted so far, Lady Abigail probably does also, and this afternoon they took out the Inquisitors that were trying to upset tonight's events which is why father changed his mind and let us attend."
"That's why nobody said anything when James was talking to all of us like we were commoners?" Amice asks.
"Yeah, they have an understanding." Cataline laughs at the end of that. "Pretty sure Neivia knows extra paths also. This entire place is crazy."
"No extra paths for me yet," Neivia replies.
"Yet?" both Amice and Cataline say at the same time.
"Apparently the more James has sex with you, the stronger you get," Neivia says and both ladies gasp as Abi starts laughing out loud and in the channel.
"She's joking," I respond and give her a look. Did she just say that?
"I'm not, I'm stronger now than I was before by quite a lot," Neivia replies and we all turn and look at her and she shrugs. "Sex magic." She whispers and both Abi and Neivia laugh.
"What about Abi?" Amice asks.
"Don't know, haven't had a chance to do her yet." Neivia answers.
"Funny." Cataline replies.
"I meant as twins are you both the same?" Amice continues.
"Yep"
"Since your father knows and I'm guessing your mother." I say and Abi nods, "it is all paths."
"No way!" Amice says, while Cataline looks at me and just nods.
"Why not, more than one is rare, three is unheard of and I've seen four, so all is not a stretch. Who knows about this?"

We are situated with me between Neivia and Amice thought that didn't last very long as Cataline argued her way into the seat and the questions began.
"What's going on James, you are the only person that doesn't use our titles and neither father nor mother corrected it back home. Father never lets anyone be that casual, especially the second born to a baron."
"We have an understanding," I answer back.
"Ahh, so it's going to be like this all night. My mother would not have thanked you for fixing a fucking dance schedule."
"How much do you want Cataline to know? She is pretty good at figuring things out so far." I send to the king.
"I'd appreciate it if you kept it us against them, the rest is up to you, she's a mini-Abi." He responds.
"Right there, who were you talking to, I could see you were, but I couldn't see how you did it and it is what I do," escort istanbul (http://www.escortkizrehberi.com/ilan-kategori/istanbul-escort/) Cataline asks.
"Your father, he said to go ahead and tell you what you want to know," I reply. "The quick review, the Inquisitors were going to interrupt us tonight with a few other kings backing them and we put an end to it this afternoon. It was why you couldn't come until it was safe."
"You and I would suppose Abigail with her crazy power took on the inquisitors this afternoon and that's it, it's over already?"
"Yep."
"The wards you put up, the portals and you were learning evocation. That is more than two paths James, you know three, does Abigail know three also because of the twin thing?"
"Yep."
"Fuck, that's impossible and I saw it myself." Cataline takes a drink and sits there. "Though it would explain how you two took them on. I'd give anything to see them get their asses kicked, creepy ass old men."
I laugh and get quiet; the announcements begin as mother thanks everyone for coming and points me out as being the recipient of the honor. I stand up and bow and sit back down to the cheering and clapping. Father comes up and talks about how proud he is of the accomplishment. They then hand it over to me and I stand up and ignore the speech given and repeat what I've said before.
"There was a time before I was blessed to sit here tonight and get the accolades. The want for power or pride was never a factor in a path I have taken for as long as I can remember. Every waking moment was dedicated to just one thing, getting back to my family. The path of pride and power are paved and have signs along the way while the path of love is an overgrown and stubborn path though, in the end, it is the only path that isn't tarnished when you arrive. This is a wonderful evening tonight because I am here with you, and I thank you for that." I sit down and it is rather quiet in the room.
"Well, it appears his mother needs a moment, and I am not sure what comes next." My father says and a few people laugh. The servers start bringing out the food and people begin to talk amongst their tables.
"Nicely done." Neivia hugs me. "You listen well." She smiles and kisses me.
"Rosalea brings my food and gives me a hug as Neivia moves out of the way. "I love you James, that was beautiful." I hug her back and smile, she's going to make me cry.
"Who was that?" Cataline asks.
"Rosalea is the head cook." Neivia answers all weepy herself.
"What? She looked no different than your mother in how she took that. You are very different than your older brother." Cataline is stewing in all the questions she wants to ask.
I create a connection to Cataline "Okay, ask what you want to ask."
Cataline jerks in her seat. "That is four James! And this is what I do! You shouldn't be able to get past my blocks. Is this why I couldn't get past yours?"
"If you are going to chat with Cataline James, don't do it making that face, people will notice," Neivia says after Abi tells her.
Cataline looks around me at Neivia. "You too! You're a conjurer. What is going on around here?"
"What is going on?!" Amice is nudging Cataline.
"You wouldn't fucking believe me if I told you." She replies.
"There we have a channel open with Abi, Neivia, and Amice. I'm not very good at keeping all of these conversations going one at a time. Though you are going to have to put up with the lack of titles in the answers, we don't have the time for it."
Amice almost chokes on her food and coughs when I speak.
Cataline starts it off, "getting Amice up to date so we can continue, so far it appears James knows four paths that I've counted so far, Lady Abigail probably does also, and this afternoon they took out the Inquisitors that were trying to upset tonight's events which is why father changed his mind and let us attend."
"That's why nobody said anything when James was talking to all of us like we were commoners?" Amice asks.
"Yeah, they have an understanding." Cataline laughs at the end of that. "Pretty sure Neivia knows extra paths also. This entire place is crazy."
"No extra paths for me yet," Neivia replies.
"Yet?" both Amice and Cataline say at the same time.
"Apparently the more James has sex with you, the stronger you get," Neivia says and both ladies gasp as Abi starts laughing out loud and in the channel.
"She's joking," I respond and give her a look. Did she just say that?
"I'm not, I'm stronger now than I was before by quite a lot," Neivia replies and we all turn and look at her and she shrugs. "Sex magic." She whispers and both Abi and Neivia laugh.
"What about Abi?" Amice asks.
"Don't know, haven't had a chance to do her yet." Neivia answers.
"Funny." Cataline replies.
"I meant as twins are you both the same?" Amice continues.
"Yep"
"Since your father knows and I'm guessing your mother." I say and Abi nods, "it is all paths."
"No way!" Amice says, while Cataline looks at me and just nods.
"Why not, more than one is rare, three is unheard of and I've seen four, so all is not a stretch. Who knows about this?"
