A room in Phobos' castle, easilly recognized by the large map of the Metaworld on the wall. It is where the prince and his military leaders discuss strategies. It is also where the princess, Elyon can interact with the map to use her mystical powers over long distances...Yeah, I figured I'd take over the Phobos role until someone starts jumping and shouting "I'm Phobos!" over and over again... [Enter: Prince Phobos from the castle's Courtyard] The prince calmly entered his strategy room with whisperers following behind almost immediatly... Not intending to speak with anyone, the evil Phobos made sure to post some of his beloved creatures outside, to prevent any ordinary sentry or peasant from barging in. He had shown himself in public more than enough for the day... When she left, Elyon seemed rather worried for Cedric's well-being. Usually, Phobos would be too. After all, Cedric was the least expendable of all his forces... For as long as he knew him, Phobos always considered his right-hand man a valuable ally - and maybe even friend, although Phobos would never use the word in such a way. Yes... Usually he would worry for Cedric's well being too, but not today... His leading warrior had to be difficult to kill to earn the right of commanding the entire army and if Elyon were to look after his safety with her unfathomable powers, there surely is nothing to worry about... The evil prince approached the large map and contently looked at the area marked as 'larveck breeding grounds'. Not all rebels fell for his trick and it could've cost him his life had he not been careful... But after today, it was going to be a mop-up job... The forces he had stationed there would wring out every bit of will to fight the rebels had left. Wether it was through force or negociations, Phobos cared not. As long as the pests wouldn't interupt any of his other plans... So, the prince thought, it was time to set his sights on the other major threat... The guardians of the veil. "Have someone bring me some wine." the prince told one of his murmerers, which in turn nodded and whispered the message on... "Wine." "Wine for prince Phobos." "Wine for the prince."

A whisperer comes with his wine. He sips it. Phobos: "So refreshing..." *contacts Miranda via telepathy*

[Whisperer: Enter from Elyon's Chamber] It informs Phobos on all the activities that occurred in Elyon's room tonight. Phobos: "She hugged Cedric?" "B-but she didn't hug me & I was believed to be dead just a few moments ago. In fact, now that I think about it, she actually seemed a little disappointed to learn that the corpse upon the ground wasn't mine." *looks at the floor* Maybe I disagreeumptions were true. I really do mean nothing to her. The only reason she even tried to save the life of the glamored whisperer believed to be me was because Cedric asked her to. Otherwise, she would have simply left me in the courtyard to rot without any remorse whatsoever. *sighs* "And to think that I ruined my master plan by announcing my survival to everyone early because I didn't want her to risk killing herself by attempting to resurrect some worthless whisperer."He goes to sit on his throne. Yup. ;D That's right! He actually had soldiers move the throne to this room so he could sit on it while the throne room was under construction.

[enter: Elyon and Cedric from Elyon's room]
As soon as they left her room, Elyon and Cedric were guided here by a couple of the prince's most treasured creatures. As a result, Phobos was informed of their arrival almost immediatly... "The princess..." "Your sister..." "The princess is here..."
And indeed. Hardly a second after the whisperers stopped whispering, a knock on the door could be heard, right before it opened... In came the prince's sister and his right-hand man... Cedric wasn't looking like the full 100 percents, seeing how the princess helped support his weight. "Here you are!" Elyon said, adressing her brother's pressence... "What are you doing holed up in a room like this?"

"My prince." Cedric quickly knelt down. "It's great to see you alive - and well."
Actually, it wasn't that very great. Cedric still felt angry about being told nothing. And how he rushed to save Phobos and prevent the rebels from defiling his body... Yeah, he certainly made a fool of himself by overreacting. And now, here Phobos stands (sits), drinking wine and looking at them with an absent-minded expression. Still, serving him had its advantages - many more than serving Elyon ever would. So Cedric tried to look happy, even if there was a slight desire to go and strangle Phobos right now.
Cedric stood up and took a step back, allowing Elyon and Phobos to speak freely. Of course, he almost collapsed doing so and had to wave his arms to regain balance. After that, he backed away, feeling like an idiot.

Phobos: "Do I really need to tell you?"

"Well excuuuuuuse me, highness." Elyon replied, mockingly bowing a bit for her brother to go along with it. "So anyway..." she continued, trying to reestablish her icy and distant exterior. "Your plant-minions guided us here to see you. So what did you want to discuss?"

Phobos: "I was worried about you. You've use up an awful lot of energy today, so I just wanted to make sure you were okay. So..." *glances at Cedric then back at Elyon* "How are you feeling?"

Who the heck is this A? "Tired, cold and angry..." Elyon replied casually. She's been feeling exacly that for quite some time... But this time, she was angry with the rebels and Vathek more than with her brother... "Really Phobos. I'd appreciate it if you would skip the small talk this time. Because if you're done, I have something to ask you as well."

Cold, huh? If he hugged her, she'd feel warmer. But... No. He's an evil prince with an image to uphold. He can't look weak in front of his minions.
Phobos: "I'm listening." That's it, Phobos. Keep your cool. She loathes you as usual, so she isn't going to stay long. Just keep your distance & you'll be fine. No need to make her anymore angry than she already is.

"Well..." Elyon looked back at Cedric for a moment... "I talked it over with Cedric earlier and..."
She sighed midsentence. She really needed to ask this carefully, since her brother just had a way of casually forbidding her to do anything... "I wondered if you would like to help arrange a short... 'trip' back to Heatherfield." She bit her lip and looked away for a moment. Would Phobos catch on to her true intentions? She certainly hoped so, since it should make him more eager to help set a trap... While waiting for the prince's reply, Elyon was trying to figure out more arguments in her favour, should he go against everything again...

Phobos: "You want to go back to Heatherfield?" "Am I hearing you correctly? The last time I suggested you take a vacation to Heatherfield with Lord Cedric, you trashed my throne room."

"No. That's not true." Elyon replied a bit irritated. "That only happened because you openly ignored me... During a conversation with me." Thinking about it, it served him right. Ignoring people during an argument with them is... Unfriendly, to say the very least.
"You know what!? Never mind! You're so dense!" The princess added. "Tomorrow I'm going back to Heatherfield! I'm going to destroy the girls there, with or without your help!" She turned around and was about to leave, but waited just a moment for Phobos' reaction...

Phobos: *sighs* Nothing I do is ever good enough for her. *looks at Cedric* "Take her to the portal in the Tracker's hideout."

"Yes, sir." Cedric said nervously. He knew he had to come with Elyon, just in case. No matter how much she hated the guardians and how powerful she seemed to be, Elyon still was quite human - easy to convince, to manipulate. They did that, now the guardians might try that as well. So Cedric had no choice but to accompany her and make sure Elyon does what she's supposed to. But still, his condition was quite miserable. He couldn't even walk without help, so how in the world is he supposed to fight? He'll be an easy target, that's for sure. However, Cedric didn't object, even if his mind was screaming with fear. "At once, sir." Cedric added with a frown. It almost seemed as if Phobos would be trying to get rid of him.
