Main Court Room, Prodigium Council Chambers, Center Mid, England, Mid
Monday, July 17th
10am
"Our next meeting isn't until October," Gale Fields stormed into the court room, limbs a pale grey, earthy bloodshot eyes hidden behind glasses and her white dead hair pulled back into a tight bun, the Undead Ambassador "So why did I receive an emergency summons?" she harshly questioned the head chairman of the board, Hal Bronte, who stood at the head of the board table. Around said table also stood Silas Haight (Vampire Ambassador), Rowen Ter Voorde (Were-Creature Ambassador), Shamerah Rue (Witch Ambassador) and Arlo Gilds (Fae Ambassador), and along with them, standing by Rowen was Blake, Corey, Sean, Paul, Euanthe and the new Red Leader, Tord, masked and dressed in uniform. Gale counted the heads of the present ambassadors and chairman, ignoring the others "Where are the other ambassadors and chairmen?" she questioned "Jones couldn't attend and the others have not been summoned on suspicion of treason" Hal bluntly answered "Someone has been leaking information to the press and those who are in this room have been ruled out" he stated. The Undead Ambassador hesitantly joined the others around the table as Hal begun "Corey Garrison and Sean McLoughlin are two of the three accompanying teenagers who had disappeared along with the princess several months ago," he stated "Up until late May, they have been held prisoner by the Grey Army in Blighfall, Dellone, Under Realm, escaping through a parnal mirror within the base".
Sean went to step through, he froze then bolted over to Corey, grabbing him by the wrist and rushing them both through the portaled mirror
Corey closed his eyes as the memory pung through his head "They arrived back in Mid, in Zento, which now turns out to be overrun by Grey Army soldiers along with Vidon Gland," Hal continued "Ter Voorde's pack found them at the base of Blodnasjon's Mountain, returning them back here" he said, nodding to Rowen who nodded back to the chairman "And along with them, they bring news of the Grey Leader and his plans". Corey opened his eyes, looking over at Hal and watching the man give him the floor, the hypnotic stepped forward "The new Grey Leader's name is Vixen Grey, the Grey Son and cursed by the Light Spirit" he stated "...I am the Grey Son's brother, the carrier of the Light" Corey told the ambassadors. "Lies" Arlos was the first, within seconds, to question the young teen "Do you know how many years we have had people coming to these chambers claiming that they're the carrier of the Light Spirit?" the fae spat his aimed question at Hal, angered of how naïve the chairman must have been to believe such a lie from a misbegotten teenager "How do you know he's speaking the truth?".
"I vouch for him" Euanthe answered the fae's harshness, stepping forward "Both me and Prince Erik, and Queen Ianthe will stand by Garrison's word as well" she firmly stated "Corey is the carrier of the Light Spirit, Starlight, the curser of the Grey Son and Brother". With the princess's confirming words, each ambassador hesitantly believed Corey and his newly found identity. "And the Grey Leader's plans?" Shamerah asked, turning her gaze to the hypnotic "Rumours state that he'll destroy every army and realm in his wake" "That isn't true" Corey told her, told all of them "He doesn't have that power, not yet... there's a loophole in our prophecy, one he wants to use to drain the last of the Light's powers from me, to turn himself into a 'Light Spirit'". That information did not settle well with anyone in that room "At the current moment, I am the thing he wants most-" "The number one thing we cannot let the Grey Leader have" Tord stepped in "What happened years ago in Rieannie, with the corruption of our spirit, we cannot let that happen- there cannot be another Dark Spirit" the Red Leader firmly stated. "And we do not have realm goddesses or Daybreak this time, only the first two hypnotics" Tord reminded them "We are the only ones who know that God and Satan do not have their divine powers anymore as part of the peace treaty between the realms called for the surrender of that power, to prevent another Haven War" Euanthe joined in "The prince and princess must be found". "Princess Angelina knows the identity of the first hypnotic" Corey told them, earning shocked expressions from everyone "She's known before December last year" he admitted "...she has kept his identity from us-" "She was protecting him" Corey cut off Arlo so quickly and boldly, it caught the fae off guard "Look what happened when the Grey Son learned that I was the light carrier, that Angelina was the second hypnotic". As though to add to his point, Corey turned his back to all of them and lifted up the back of his shirt, revealing the long and gory scar that rang along his spine, a scar that still hurt and stung with the same ungodly pain that came with it when he first got the injury.
Rowen's wife, Audrey, had been treating the wound with an old were-remedy the last couple of days. Yesterday, the wound finally scabbed over. They had to wait a couple days for Corey to have his wound properly treated and his sickness to subside before calling for an emergency summons of the few people on the council that could be trusted with this information.
Corey pulled his shirt back down and re-faced the others "Last I saw, Angelina was running deep into the forest by Croon in Dellone" he stated.
"...the Under Realm gate is in Dark Nation, it would most likely be the citizens or Grey Army going in and out" he said "No- the travel-signatures are coming from three unregistered portals" the princess told him "The locations of the portal exits are still unknown, but the origins of the entries are Blighfall and Rorrim in Dellone- Erik's reporting this straight to the armies and council as we speak".
"The Grey Army's base was in Blighfall, I assume the unregistered portal travel from Rorrim to Mid was Angelina" Blake suggested "There were two portal travels from Blighfall-" "The second, most likely made by the Grey Leader" Blake cut off Gale "All three travels were between Mid and the Under Realm, meaning that both the princess and Grey Leader are in Mid somewhere" Silas added to Blake's new theory. "Until further notice, all information regarding the Grey Son, Brother and hypnotics are to not leave this room" Hal ordered, looking at every single soul standing around the table "No one is to speak about any of this to anyone" the Head Chairman stated, earning silent or mumbled responses.
The Head Chairman dismissed them all.
Blake stepped out of the courtroom with Rowen and Paul "Thank you, again" Blake said to them "If your pack didn't find them, goddesses know who would've found them instead" he got a silent nod from Rowen's son whilst the werewolf smiled back at the human "It's no problem, Blake" Rowen assured him "I owe you one-" "Nah, just come to the pack's next party," the werewolf waved off the other man "No favours owned". Tord stepped out of the room, nodding to Rowen and Blake before turning his head to Paul "Everything good now?" the Red Leader questioned as Paul nodded his head "Yes, sir" "Good, report to base on Friday" the Red Leader shortly ordered before heading down the hall "...you took time off?" Blake questioned the young man yet Rowen stepped in and threw an arm around his son "Family nonsense, you'd understand" Rowen smiled, his tone a little threatening: don't ask 'why?' again. The werewolf and his son headed down the hall as the two teen boys walked out of the courtroom, Euanthe following behind them "Hey- you two can head out to the car" Blake told Corey and Sean, passing the car keys to the oldest "I'll meet you out there in a bit" the man told him, watching the two boys head off down the hall as Euanthe re-joined Blake's side "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" she asked "Jocelyn may need a break from the countless protection magic she's been casting lately" "I'm sure" Blake answered. He turned to the hell princess, giving her a warm smile "Besides, I think the others are getting a little suspicious of the daily visits now" Blake said as Euanthe laughed a little "...should we announce this?" "I think your family should know first" he suggested, the princess nodded her head "Right... 'tradition' of the royal family". "You want me to go with you?" Blake asked as the hell princess shook her head "No, a trip to Hell and telling them that I'm with a human won't kill me, but just in case Jadarius gets a little 'protective', I think you should stay here in Mid" Euanthe suggested as Blake nodded his head, knowing the last thing he wants to be facing is the Threat Wing's prince's wrath "Yeah, that may be best".

Angelina stirred awake, an unpleasant expression plastered across her face as she found herself still in the same tent, attached to the same horrid circus that she was being held in, still chained to the looped bolt cemented firmly into the dirt at the centre of the tent.
After a week of being held up in that crappy cell, Vixen had Angelina moved back to the tent with Kara yet with a few adjustments put in place to keep the girl from attempting another escape, aka chaining her down with a specially made set of chains of angelsilver and demonglass coated in a heavy layer of steel: prevents her from using any sort of celestial powers and not burn her celestial skin with the deadly-to-celestials metals. However, that didn't stop the bruising that formed around her wrists as results to the girl struggling within the chains.
Angelina sat up and immediately started banging the shackles against the metal framing of the cot, an attempt she knew wouldn't break off her chains. "Fucking hell- stop it!" Kara snapped at the girl as she rushed back into the tent "Nothing breaks demonglass or angelsilver so knock it off, for my eardrums' sake at least" the older girl asked as the hypnotic stopped banging the shackles per her request, and instead stood up and stepped over to the cemented bolt, grabbing the chains and viscously yanking at it, another attempt she knew wasn't going to work. Kara grabbed Angelina by the arms, causing the hypnotic to let go of the chains as the two glared at each other "Do you want Grey Leader to shock you again?" Kara harshly questioned, receiving only the hypnotic's silence in response. The older girl let go of the other "And stop messing with the chains, at this rate you're going to saw your hands off with the way you're yanking at them" Kara told the hypnotic, stepping over to her bed, dragging out a chest from underneath the cot and opening it "You'll just keep failing to escape if you don't look after yourself first" she stated. As Kara pulled out her costume for tonight's show, Angelina shifted on her cot, bringing her legs up to her chest and hugging them tightly.
Rhin Warden House, Ashmaine, England, Mid
Edd carried his bag out of his room and over to the front door, Matt outside by the car on his phone to his mother.
Although the council had just recently lifted some of the restrictions on travel between realms, Tord managed to pull a couple strings with his army connections to secure Edd and Matt a special pass through the Mid-to-Human realm gate: it was Matt's great grandmother's ninety-eighth birthday this weekend, both Matt and Edd were invited to the party in London, in the Human Realm.
"Edd! come on!" Matt yelled from beside the car "We need to leave!". Stepping out the front door, Edd quickly running into Tord and Tom "You sure you guys will be alright together this weekend?" Edd questioned "Don't worry, Edd, we'll be fine" Tord smiled, putting an arm around Tom's shoulders, only to have the half-demon shrug his arm off "Fuck off" Tom quietly spat. "Okay... you're on trust, alright" Edd told them "The second something happens, call me" he said as both of them nodded their heads.
Edd threw his bag into the back of the car before hopping into the driver's seat, Matt in the front passenger "Edd... do you think they're going to be dead when we come back?" Matt hesitantly asked as Edd started the car and begun to pull out of the driveway "I hope not" Edd answered.
The second the car was out of site, with a smile, Tord turned to Tom "So what do you want to do first?" the soldier asked as Tom glared back at him "Well me and my 'memory loss' is going back to my room" he answered "Seriously? you still don't believe me" "No, I don't" Tom rolled his eyes before sighing "Look, I'm grateful that you helped me figure out at least what 'wing rule' my demon half is from, thank you for that, but I'm not entertaining you with your hypnotic shit" Tom told him. The half demon stepped back into the house as Tord groaned in annoyance.
At least they're somewhat talking again.

4pm
Angelina still sat on her cot in hers and Kara's tent.
Kara, along with all the other circus prisoners had left the campsite a few hours ago for the main show tent for tonight's performance.
The hypnotic lifted her head as a circus prisoner and a Grey Army soldier stepped into the tent, the circus prisoner tossed a red and white checkered circus dress at Angelina "Grey Leader wants you dressed and escorted to the show tent" the soldier stated, unlocking the hypnotic's chains "And don't bother trying to escape, he's wired the boundary line to set off your collar" the soldier warned and so the hypnotic complied, slowly pulling on the costume.
