"Do I have what-" She paused. In the temple she had thought that Kat had just mastered the art which she had only begun to teach Morr. But had she not flown all the way here with Kat far behind? She blinked and the images disapeared. She closed her eyes and it was black, something that the illusions of a mesmer could not replicate. "-yes. And now Colm will be sorry it ever left. What happened to the man in the mountains?"

Zig jumped into the conversation to answer Illusion, "He left. He made some threats about killing or fighting us if we didn't answer him about what had happened in the area, but before we actually told him anything he made his own assumptions that we had won and left. He said he'd been banned from the Water nation and that he was going to go help Earth." The girl fell silent as she spoke the last of her facts and then gave herself some time to wonder about Kat and Morr and Illusion's new found sight.

"Oh, you have your vision back? I guess I'll have to find new targets to practise that vision granting trick on then. In any case, there's quite a few things on the table here. Dealing with the ice wielding man, holding our territory in Fire, and exacting our sweet revenge. Should we make a to do list?" Moriarty said with a grin.

She took her seat at the head of the table. "Yes, let's make a to do list, then we can arrange them by order of importance." She looked at Zig slightly confussed. "So did he attack us before or after water banned him?" and then to no one in particular. "Does anyone know what's been going on with water or earth lately? Even fire? They can't be happy about losing their mountain range."

"From his words it seemed like he'd been banned a while ago, but I can't be sure. He just mentioned it in passing while trying to intimidate us by telling us how powerful he was," Zig replied to Illusion as she sat down. She had no answer to the princess' second question. No one from fire came back to claim their territory, but that didn't mean they weren't angry.

Artemis watched Illusion sit. "We wouldn't know," she answered. "We were on the mountains the whole time. We only saw a few villagers there, and they didn't say much." She thought about it for a second, but her stomach growled. "I don't mean to be rude, but can we eat now?" She asked sheepishly.

"Yes, certainly. Forgive my forgetfullness." She clapped her hands and servants came bearing fruit trays, meats, and pastries. They were arranged all over the table, but the portions were still a bit smaller than usual. "How goes our food supply? I partially wanted to alliance with Earth for more field space." She motioned towards a servant girl holding a picture of cranberry juice to fill her glass.

Moriarty grinned as he looked down upon the tray before him, and then looked back up at Illusion with a more grim expression when she mentioned possible food shortage. "You know, my brother over there can just steal more food from, say, Water or Fire if you ever need it." He mentioned, before plucking out a pastry and beginning to eat. "Do we have milk here, by the way?" He asked.

Zig smiled as the servants entered the room and quickly grabbed herself an apple which she bit into vigorously. The fruit tasted especially delicious after their previous exertions, but mention of the food shortage straightened her grin. However, she really didn't know anything about it, since they'd only gotten back moments ago.

"If it's what we must do, then we'll stoop down to thievery. It's a lot less bloody. Unfortunetly many of our own men might be accussed and hung if they ever ventured into fire or water or the likes." She saw the grim expressions of her comrades. "But let us not think of it now. Now we need a plan to take down Colm and water. There has to be a way to weaken both of them."
((sorry for my absense. We went out of town and I hurt my wrist pretty badly snowboarding))

"My brother doesn't think it's all that low." Moriarty said, with an evil grin. "He thinks it's more like an art form. In any case, this is war, so if we can impair their supplies and bolster our own, why not? Also, I think the key to removing the king is through the hearts of his followers. Why they follow him, I do not know, but after what happened in those mountains I have reason to believe all allegiance to him is conditional. We could be able to turn his fickle men against him some how. Create rebellion from within."

Violet flew in overhead the city, her palms blazing with hot air and fire to keep her afloat. She wore the necklace that the shop keeper had given her now as the air was beginning to thin out. 'I hope Celestina's still following... I really don't want to have to go alone, but if that's how it must be done then I'll just get it over with quickly.' She then began to lessen the air and fire so that she would begin to descend to the castle's front steps. It took a few tries, but eventually she found herself on solid ground again and was thankful. 'That wasn't as bad as the first time. Maybe Celestina won't have as much of a problem with landing...' She turned around to look into the sky (not that she wasn't pretty much already there) and awaited the arrival of her friend.

"From what I've seen you are correct. His rule should be easily ended, the problem is...who would end up on the throne after he's overthrown? Should each nation go back to the old system where we each have our own monarchs? Or should we try this union yet again and let us be controlled by one who is suspected of murder?" She sighed tiredly. "It seems like everyone is either against us or just plain not with us right now..."

Moriarty laughed a little at the thought. "They hate the king even more, I assure you, and who cares what they think of us? Oderint dum metuant. Let them hate, so long as they fear."

She smiled at his comforting words, even if they really were not that positive. "Thank you Moriarty. Thank you, all of you for being here. But as your Princess I am still at a loss for what to do. At first I thought setting up an alliance with Earth would help, but their princess never responded and now her own lands are under attack. Fire and Water are against us, the King's certainly not with us. All I can really think of right now would be to recruit more of our own men and set up defenses along all of our borders and in the Flamma Mountains."
