"Did you ever heard of the Dragonstones? I doubt that, so let me explain a bit." Prixima sat down on the chair and crossed her arms.

"Back in the days of demons and heroes, Dragons, which still roamed the world, gave the Humans a set of seventy seven magical stones, each with different names, and all of the Dragonstone wielders then fought against the Demon Gor-Tah. My family had one of the Dragonstones since we became a barony, and then, a county in Deynastia, and then, in Menelea. I will spare you the political nuances. During the last five centuries, though, many of those Dragonstones were lost, either destroyed, stolen, and few are possibly resting in some old crypt or ruin, forgotten by everyone. Nowadays only historians and eccentric arcane researchers bother themselves with the knowledge of Dragonstones. My family Dragonstone was called 'Lapis Lazuli'." She let out an annoyed sigh.

"Unfortunately, over the last fify years, the Dragonstone changed the owner in the family, and ultimately fell into hands of my cousin, Eor Kesselring. That stubborn old fool isn't going to give it back, and in the last year, he moved from his manor, along with his rag-tag band of vagabonds, to the hills in the western part of Kesselring county. Now, make a guess why you're involved in this family matter."

Prixima furrowed her eyebrow.

"Well, if you don't want all those golden coins hidden safely in that box, how about a magical tome from my collection? Also, you sound as if I'm some kind of terrible, crafty witch, my dear Adrien."

The whole group was escorted upstairs by two soldiers - except Olison, who was allowed to stay downstairs and take care of his horse. And of course Henry, who was resting gods know where.

When upstairs, Aaron came out of the Prixima's study and opened the door.

"Lady Prixima will see Adrien now." He announced in a brief speech.

Happy Pi day, everyone!

The what day now?

EDIT: Oh right, you put month before day, I forgot.

RedKing should rename himself 'OldKing', but then considering his social activities, maybe he shouldn't

unknown green liquor Scotty has stashed in engineering.

Aldebaran whiskey, I believe. And I believe it is the same thing that Scotty and Picard drink in TNG episode 'Relics'.

Why?

'It's green'

And so the group left the old manor, all in one piece - besides Henry who still looked a bit pale.

Just like the trip to the manor, trip back to the Kesselring was uneventful one. The rain lessened with each passing minute, and the moment they've entered the forest that encircled the Kesselring Fortress, the rain stopped completely and the sun began to peek shyly from behind the grey clouds.

When they got to the entrance, there was a groan in the back of their little group - it was Henry, who soon fell onto the ground with a soft thud, uncounscious.

He looks and behaves kinda docile.

And definitely doesn't look like Palpatine, so that's a plus as well.
