The Castle of Jhegala/Castle Morgan

The party dispersed and the people went their seperate ways among the castle. Some purchased new weapons, marvelling at what they could only dream of owning. Some purchased new armor, pondering the use of equipment they didnt prefer. Some went to item shops to stock up on curatives or other goods. Some went to train and sharpen theirs skills. Their ideas of a good time were as diversified as the characteristics of each individual. However, as usual, Methos and Alys attracted the most attention by starting a fight with the royal guards, and attracting a new addition to the group, Dyne. Shortly after, the sun begins its daily routine and starts to dip towards the mountains. The individuals notice this slowly, and make their way to the desired meeting point. The king's throne room.

(Castle Morgan)
Nixia and Lark reach Castle Morgan in the Astral Plain. Nixia ran away from Lark to find the Relic they searched for, instead finding a tablet of the location. Alan returned to the Astral Plain to stand beside Morgan. Emery, Duran and Leif stood before Morgan, showing no apparent fear, but shock rocked Leif and Emery. A voice came from the shadows of Morgan's Castle, questioning the acts of Morgan himself. Alan attempts Morgan's defense, but is quickly hushed by him. Four visitors then arrived and reported their failure to find Kaiser... Instead, they leave for their new mission... To take out Dart. The figure steps out from the shadows and reveals herself to be Erato, the Scarlet Lady. The three newcomers gave their allegiance to Morgan, with partial fear.

Dart greets part of the group at the large double doors of the castle. Dart informs them that they wish to be seen by the king, and wait for the others to arrive. They arrive and entered the castle.

(Castle Morgan)
Abyss once again shows up into the Astral Plain and into Castle Morgan. He notices the company, and quickly lets them know who he is. He then reports the new information to Morgan about Erelyn. He then reports once again his failure to find Kiaser, while covering up his battle wounds. Erato reveals that she knows where the real Erelyn in, and out of reaction, Abyss presses her for the information. Abyss gains that she has entrapped herself in a sheet of ice in a lake in an unknown forest.

The group recieves the audience with the king and they are quiet as Dart speaks. Dart informs the king of all that has happened, and the King turns pale with fear. They also learned that Leaf had recruited a soldier stronger than Cecil. Before leaving, the King allowed them to take Aaron along. A strong addition to the group. The King thanked them and offered them a place to stay the night within the castle. Aaron informs Dart that he will leave the group each night of travel, and return to them in the morning.

(Castle Morgan)
Morgan grows impatient with Abyss and electrifies him with his own power. He then arises and unsheathes the Stormfinder, the blade aimed at Abyss. Abyss drops to a knee, but not before accusing Morgan of fear that might linger. He then threatens Morgan that one day he will kill him with Kaiser. He then bows his head once more, a grin spread across his face. Erato is able to spare Abyss' life this one time, with the promise that he will find Erelyn and deliver the coordinates of the Kaiser. Erato then volunteers herself to go with Abyss. Abyss does not accept the help, but it is inevitable. He goes into the homeworld and discovers that he requires Darts assistance to seperate from Leo.

(Main Party)
The group exchanges welcomes to the newcomers, and they talk amongst themselves as the walk towards the sleeping quarters. Smoirgan, Methos, and Alys all recieving audiences from the king. However, from the previous fight Methos was very weak. The King ordered him to see a white mage who could cure him... Mina. Finally, everyone makes their way to their sleeping quarters, ready to check in for the night. Meanwhile, Methos convinces his curer that Morgan is behind the evil and that she should join the group. She agrees to join the group, but only to prove her point.
