... So that we might protect ourselves and this place against the Seraphim, should he come here again.. *Maggie responds quietly. And if he comes to my home again?, she asks inwardly. Please God he doesn't.*
*She refocuses on Luana, trying to shake off her anxiety* Has anyone told ye of him yet?

"Um, I think Luke mentioned him before." And Tavin. "I can't really remember much though. Would you mind telling me again?"
She reached up and rubbed the spot on the back of her neck where the locket fastened. One of these days she would have to find a way to keep it from irritating her.

*Maggie hesitates a moment. This is not her favorite subject, not by a long shot, but Luana has a right to know* The Seraphim, he . . . they . . . there are many of them, but all the same . . . one person in hundreds. *she tries to explain, realizing she's probably doing a poor job* They were angels once, like Tavin, and perhaps some still are . . . but the others have . . . gone bad somehow. *she frowns*
He's after this place, after Tavin. He's attacked him, his wife, his children . .. *she twists her hands together* He's appeared in the Brink even, attacked us all here . .. pulled Cora and Luke out somehow, hurt them ... *her knuckles are as white as her face now* and he ... *she looks furious and shaken all at once* He's horrible! He's so cruel, he.. *she catches herself and takes a breath*

Tavin has children? She tried her best to absorb every word of what Maggie said, but things suddenly didn't make as much sense any more.
She watched the color drain from Maggie's face. There was obviously something very wrong about this Seraphim person.
Honestly she wanted to know more, but Maggie was obviously upset. "If you don't want to go on, it's okay." Hesitantly she reached across the table and put one hand on top of Maggie's. These weren't bad people in the Brink, she knew. They were just as scared, and maybe just as confused, as she was at times. "We can talk about something else."

*Maggie lets a breath out slowly and lifts her eyes to Luana's* I'm alright, truly. The Seraphim frightens me, and angers me, deeply, but he'll not go away simply if I avoid speaking of him, and ye've a right te know the dangers te this place.
*She looks away for a moment, pensively, then back. She grips Luana's hand* He found a way te my time, te my world. He tried te take my son from me. He tried te kill the both of us. If Tavin hadna made it there in time . .. *she shivers, then shakes her head. She still looks upset, but determined as well* Whate'er I must do te stop him, te protect my son, te protect my friends here . . . I'll do it. I can only pray the powers Tavin can teach us will help.

He could be manipulating them to gain their trust, she thinks, but somehow it just doesn't seem right. A wife, kids, coming to the rescue of others... Could her angel have been wrong? She pushes the thought away. A messenger of God could never be wrong. If her angel said Tavin was a demon, then it was so. Still, it bothered her.
And now there was an even newer danger.
"How would I know this Seraphim if I ever saw him here or in my time?"

I dinna know if he can take many different forms, but as I've almost always seen him ... *still a bit pale, Maggie takes a moment to picture the Seraphim in her mind, then does her best to describe him to Luana*

Luana tries to form a mental image in her mind, but it doesn't stick. What does form is only a vague image. Vague, and somewhat familiar.
She opened her mouth to speak again, but befor she could speak she faded out.
**Exit Luana**

*Maggie watches as Luana vanishes* Be safe ... *she murmers. Her shoulders sag. Caught up in the wonders of this place, it's tempting sometimes for her to let herself forget the dangers. But the Seraphim is still out there ...*
*She shivers again and clasps her hands together. She wishes Bard were here, or Tavin, or . ... a sigh escapes her.*
Do what ye can, Margaret .. *Rising, she returns the book on medicine to the shelf, and hunts down another, better suited for helping her practice her Brink power. She returns to her seat with it and gets to work*

*Maggie practices until she can go no further. Exhausted, she leans back in the chair, breathing in and out slowly, looking over the odd assortment of items spread out on the tabletop.*
*After a long moment, she reaches out an arranges them neatly. She's often unsure what to do with the things she brings in, but they tend to fade out on their own eventually. That done, she pulls herself to her feet ... she wobbles slightly and reaches out to brace herself with her hand on the back of the chair.*
*She gives herself another few minutes to regain her bearings, then retrieves her mending work from earlier, and slowly makes her way back down the hall*
**Exit Maggie to Main, 792**

**Enter Maggie from Main, 802**
*Maggie walks in from the hallway, pausing by the study tables to unclasp her cloak and drape it over the back of a chair. Then she crosses to the shelves to find a few books to work with, returns with them to the tables, and settles in to practice once again*

*Eventually, Maggie takes a break, folding her arms on the table and resting her head on them. Within a few moments, she fades back to her own time*
**Exit Maggie**

**Enter Luana from Main Room 805**
Luana walked in and searched the shelves for the books on time pieces again until she found a few that seemed to be useful in her effort to build a water clock for the Brink. Once she had three of them, she left again to get to work.
**Exit Luana to Main room 805**

**Enter Bard and Maggie from Main Room 815**
*Bard and Maggie step into the library. Bard casts his eyes about apprehensively, gripping Maggie's hand*
If I were The Tudor Rose, where would I be?

*Maggie looks up at him at the name, surprised and a little puzzled* The Tudor Rose? *she echoes* Is . . . that what the book is called?
