Genevieve get up at the wee hours of the night after a strange dream in witch was appeared Merlin, she had got the impression that had not been a dream, more as a visit done before she fall asleep or after she awaked. She was not able to explain that even in know she had never leaved her bed in the night and than no one had being there since visit wasn't permit in the night in the nuns’ home. It was again night and well before the sun was up, and that also before the first priest of the morning. But if the visit was not permit in side after nightfall, there was not more permission about leave the nuns’ home in the night. She had to leave for a moment, and done as asked, so she takes the precious sword wrapped in the blanket and walked out without be hear or seen. She waked in the cold night breeze until the river. Once there she unwrapped the sword and walked by side the water. Under the moonlight, she saw something come out of the water farter in front of her in the running water. As called there by the sound of the water fall, Genevieve walked closer nude feet in the cold water until that lady dressed in a blue dress recalling the light falling on the water. The lady’ inviting smile was all to made her feel well and the worry she had feel sooner was almost send away by only that smiles. Without a word but with an inviting move the lady asked for the sword. Genevieve put down the precious sword on the both hands hold out. The lady of the lake slides next slowly in the light back in the river’ water.
Farter in the other direction, in a cavern found free as temporary fort, yells of madness would be heard as the count Gregory was to discharge his fury on his footmen for had not fight rightly for protects the ones they had bring back as casuals and dead ones. His fury was enough for made the uniformed people with cortical lobe fall under the plain since the count power was stronger at proximity of his preys. “Fools! All of you! I would have been better to come on the plan! You made mess! And you not even able to keep our prisoners! You lost them! And you lost an half of your own people and that against only a man!” The count was out of mind under suck incompetence. Away of his energiser source, the count was sure there would be only once availed to the fusion power stocked in his mechanical wheeling chair and that was to be save for the best time he would need that. The uniformed men were on the ground shaken under the pain coming from the mad evil.
In the same moment, somewhere in her den, Morgan was awaken. She worked her way to her sight holder. Having felt a devilish madness and the suffering of people, she made a slow and circular move in front if the frame and an image some in the smooth surface. The picture of a totally broken form coming out an odd thing just as the form itself appears. Morgan watched as coming with the form was what was to look as a troop of soldiers dressed in just as odd armour. The mirror shows next a totally lost Merlin who was to try to found a solution alone and with his powers lost. Morgan laughs to herself happy, as that would help her cause against her brother, the King Arthur. But the mirror changed of picture, a fight, the new arrived troupe accompanied by the devil itself were in trouble. Morgan looked on a hard fight, several of the new comers had let’s their lives in the fight being far to be ready to made face to a used knight. The pictures changed again as the survivors had draw the deaths and casuals back to their master who was really angry to have lost something or to have lost his men. Again the pictures changed to show the odd transportation mean as three others people come out. Morgan growled in rage in saw something that was to draw her attention and next the pictures changed for show a cavern and the devilish form torturing his slaves by magic means. Morgan was not please by these visions that was to mean too much disagreements in her plans to destroy Arthur, but she would found a way around that, she would, she though in go back to sleep.
In the forest, Jules awaked on the wee hours, as he had sleep even in being laid in the grass far away of a bed in a warm place or even a cot in a cold cell and that after a small-improvised meal. He was sure his friends would come for him after the message he had send to them with the Phoenix. He get up and walked in the morning fog lost in his mind, as the others of his fellows were again asleep. He walked in though than the count’ powers seems to be limited while to be far of the airship of the darkness league but again Jules was sure there was something having miss him. He stopped when he saw the blue light rise on the way he was come and run to awake Alexander and the asleep knight as the young rider was to awake by Jules’ voice “It’s back, they used that! They come for us!” He said happy as the three others men were to believe than Jules was insane but agree to lets the rider and Alexander with the things as Jules and Ulderick would use the horse go back where the Phoenix had lets them before disappears in a wise way to avoid a new meeting with the devilish Count Gregory’s minion.
The blue light had disappears in the darkness of the horizon since a long moment when the Phoenix’ door cracked open. Inside, Phileas, Rebecca and Passepartout had all gun in hand ready to use that on any badly intentioned watchers outside. As no one was there, Phileas walked first out prudently in watch his surrounding as Rebecca and Passepartout was to cover his back. Phileas was to think that it was really odd but he was also released to found than the darkness league’ men were not there to get them. That was again the night and the ground was too free of vegetation to Phileas’ taste and said to his cousin and valet than better was to walk until the forest to be less vulnerable. As Rebecca and Phileas carried their equipment away, Passepartout managed something of his to block the time machine door closed and as it avoid to see their only mean to theirs time disappears without them. Once all carried and the machine’ door secures, they all walked until Phileas stop and kneel in the sable on the ground.
Rebecca stopped to look on what he was to do, “Phileas, we need walk until be out of sight, so what did you found?” Phileas had brought a handful of sand to his nose and had touched the print in the dust. “Fresh blood. It looks as a battlefield. Something happen here. And with the phoenix having appears at the same place sooner…” Rebecca sighs angry as she was to understand and completed to him, “The darkness league but they certainly not fight with Jules and Alexander. No to death as they need them so much more alive.” On the name she used, Phileas looked on her with an eyebrow lift, “Alexander, hum. So perhaps I should get you a chastity belt as soon we can found someone to build that or simply a forge to Passepartout to build that himself and keep the key away.” Rebecca frowns on him, “Can we continue our way before I get the same idea about you but manage for you wear that even in our time. Surely someone will tell us what happen here.” She said and walked forward as Phileas and Passepartout were to walk behind her in keep their eyes and ears open to all stimulus of danger.
The knight and Jules had climb down their horse after have ride in the morning fog until the end of the forest. Ulderick take his sword and walked front in lets Jules handle of the horses. So Jules walked behind him, as no one of them could be sure of what would wait them once undercover. Sound and voice was heard on the other side of the trees line, the knight hold the sword ready for a defensive move in keep Jules behind as that was a sign of danger in not even listen the young man’ words. Sword in a hand and his courage in the other, the armoured man walked out the forest in the path of the glade as Phileas had heard sound even with Rebecca’ voice, and only lift a hand to ask her silence for get a weapon out, but with the armour the only thing he found was the sword hang at his left hip side. Pulling that out in a quiet payer than there would not be a minion armed with a gun, he walked toward the sound to freeze at half-move in found front of him just someone in an armour freeze at half-move too in meet him face to face in a similar situation. The man moved next his sword, his guard high and looking in the darkness the form waiting for a sign of attack. Phileas waited too puzzled on the other man action until Rebecca and Passepartout walked close.
“So, what will you do sir, wait that way until one decide to do something or put down the sword as we are three against you?” she said her hand ready to get out her own sword. But before she can do that Jules run to them in almost cry of joy, “Rebecca! Passepartout! Fff… Phileas!” Rebecca and Passepartout rushed to hug him happy to see he was right or to seem to be as the knight and Phileas was stay to hold one other in respect. Jules looked on the knight, “That all right, they are my friends, all of them. Fff… Phileas, he helped us.” He said in try to get the both men to put the swords away as he was not sure if in the night light they have both remarked the looking same. And as they was both to move slowly in that action Passepartout broken the silence in ask to the young man, “Where is Mr Dumas? Does is right?” the valet and friend asked anxious to not see the other writer with Jules. Jules only smiles to them, “He stays at the camp we can all go there and next discuss of what we will do. The Count lost several minion but we need to walk back to the camp before…” he said in stop at middle sentence nervous in began to walk back to the horse.
Phileas looked on Jules from his place with his sword finality back at its place, “Before what?” the gentleman disguised as a knight asked on an inquisitive tone. But Jules was not to wand answer worry now than the count would know than they was all back for stop him but the link Jules and Alexander were stay to carry and that not matter if the link was less strong away of their century as well than the Prometheus but he was unsure now. His only certitude was than his friend had not yet remarked the dark spot on his temple in the moonlight but they would be totally out of themselves when that would happen. He tried to get the both horses and next open the way for get back to the camp but one of his friend, Rebecca, had step behind him and had stopped him. She made him turn for look on him.....
