Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aramis rode up to his estate on his horse, he had now been a priest for some number of years and lately had started a secret, underground rebellion group. Today he had gone out to the market and picked up a few things he needed for planning and what not. Some more ink, a quill, some parchment and what not. When he got home his maid brought him breakfast in his study. "How is the lad today?" He asked as he sipped his tea. The maid informed Aramis of how Andricus had woken up quite startled. Aramis nodded and dismissed her after telling her to bring Andricus to him.

While he waited on Andricus to arrive though, he opened up a large piece of paper, it was the building sketches for the Bastille; not an easy thing to get a hold of. However Aramis would need this for his plans that were coming up. He was studying the sketch and comparing it with a map of the Bastille, taking down notes along the way on the fresh parchment with his quill and ink. Aramis wasn't as young as he used to be, but he was still one of the best people in all of France with a rapier and his mind was as sharp as ever.

Aramis looked up when the door opened and smiled warmly. "Yes I did." When Andricus came over Aramis rolled up the papers on his desk, not quite ready for him to know the plan yet. This needed to stay a secret for as long as possible, however Aramis wasn't exactly worried that Andricus would figure it out, after all no know knew of the queen's twin sister that had been locked up in the Bastille for years now. However if anyone did know it would put Corlina's life in danger and Aramis wasn't quite ready to risk her yet.

"Please take a seat," He said, referencing one of the two chairs on the other side of his desk he had set up for guests. "I understand you had a bit of a rough night last night, wish to talk about it?" He asked, leaning back in his chair. Aramis cared for Andricus almost like he were his son, not exactly that close, but Andricus was his student and Aramis knew that he looked up to him.He also knew that Andricus would follow him to the ends of the Earth if necessary to prove his loyalty because Andricus was simply that kind of person: loyal.

Aramis found it rather eerie that Andricus was dreaming of a girl in white who was guarded closely when Aramis was trying to free the pure twin of the queen who was locked up tight in prison, but Andricus couldn't exactly know that. Also, Aramis couldn't pretend to be an expert on dreams. He thought a moment, scratching his chin thoughtfully,"Some physicians of the mind believe that dreams are simply a way that our subconscious communicates with us, however other believe that the mind has the ability to predict events by putting random information together that you may not even realize you know." He started, his words a bit mysterious and philosophical, Aramis spoke like this often, like he couldn't give someone an exactly straight answer all the time and made them think and use their minds. This seemed to be a fall back of his.

Then he sighed and shrugged,"Or perhaps you are too stressed. You are a young man and I imagine dealing with the rebels can be fairly stressful at times.You may benefit from taking a break. Besides I hear that Raoul, you remember, Athos' son, has returned from the war and will be awarded with the title of musketeer soon. If I recall correctly you two were fairly close correct? Perhaps you should go visit him. I'm sure he would enjoy that and you clearly need a small break of your own." He smiled,"I bet Raoul would give you a run for your money when it comes to matters of the sword." He jested with Andricus a bit, knowing that Andricus wouldn't exactly welcome any kind of relaxation period, he was so dedicated to his work after all.

"It is regrettable that D'Artagnan refuses to join our cause, however we can do this without him and in the end he will thank us for it." Aramis started after shutting the door behind him, leaving the room full of him, Athos, and Raoul. He smiled at Raoul,"Its nice to have you back son." He commented,"I remember when you and Andricus were but boys, fighting with wooden swords." HE walked around behind his desk and took out a floor plan and spoke as he unfolded the blue prints. "The secret to over throwing the queen is locked up in the Bastille right now." He began to point things out,"I was thinking that with Raoul still on good terms with the queen's forces, we could use him to our advantage. We can go in, our faces covered Athos, and Raoul will inform the guards that the prisoner is to be transported else where so that the queen will not have to deal with such treachery being so near her. After that, we get the girl and slip back here before dawn has blown out cover. We shall be using the river that flows through the Bastille, it is the only entrance and it will lead us right to where our horses shall be waiting."

Aramis grinned,"Perhaps, although I warn you, Andricus is the best student I've ever had. He will put up quite a fight." He continued and rolled up his blue prints, tapping him on the nose,"I thought you'd never ask." He said slyly, then began his story,"When the queen Dionette was born, she wasn't the only child. The queen was told the second child died in birth, however to avoid civil war, the king had the second child sent away to a country home...the second child was the queen's identical twin sister..Corlina. My plan is to get this girl and switch the two out, having Corlina name us her royal advisers and running the country correctly."

Raoul blinked and and thought for a few moments. "The queen's twin..." He scratched his head a bit and glanced to his father as he spoke. "...Either way I think we should free her, she was wrongfully imprisoned... And perhaps she wants to make this country better" He said and shrugged, pacing the room a bit. "So she has the queens looks... Hopefully a better personality" He thought aloud with a smirk.
