Diantha chuckled and nodded. “I know you are, Sprig. The food will be out soon. We can’t make it get cooked any faster.” She said softly, softly humming a tune as she tried to distract Sprig from his hunger.
Nova sat up a bit and grinned at Lulu’s proclamation about them starting their magic training. “We will?!” He Sox year old said excitedly. This one was followed by Jay’s more stern, “You will?” Clearly implying that he wasn’t aware of this plan. The king was looking at his daughter, waiting for an explanation.
Scover nodded, gently guiding Valex back to their seat. “Sure, of course.” He replied as he guided the way back to their seats. He wished he could do something to help Valex’s eyes recover but he didn’t know any darkness or similar spells that would help. He was never good at casting dark-based magic.

Lulu smiled as looked at her father and said," Oh calm down I started my training when I was their age. Besides they would be learning only basics, nothing that could be dangerous." A nervous chuckle escaped her throat as she asked," Didn't I tell you all this already?"
Valex sighed as he was taken back to his seat while Hardwitch said," Alright with that out of the way you are all free for lunch. However, afterwards you all must head to the practice field for the practical test."

Jay grunted softly and shook his head. “No. No you didn’t Lulu. And the reason your training started so early was because you were already bursting with magic.” He said, trying to be understanding. “We needed to reign in your magic before you caused a bigger hole in the wall that you already had.” He said.
Revelation smirked a little bit tried to hide it. He remembered when this had happened when Lulu was tiny. She had found her magic so early they were all surprised.
Scover helped Valex sit down again and he then looked up as Hardwitch dismissed the class. He just stayed where he was, also a bit drained after needing to interrupt more spells than he would have cared to. “Should we just stay here for a bit? I’m a bit drained too.” The boy muttered, glancing to his roommate. “Well looks like that’ll be my turn to drain my magic. How many kids do you think will go overboard trying to make an impression and end up nearly burning their hair off?” He said softy.

Lulu groaned as she said," Oh come on daddy why did you have to bring up the hole in the wall. You know that was a complete accident and that it should never be brought up again." She then lightly elbowed husband as she said," And you, you know not to smirk at that."
Valex will be on hold because need a moment to think of what I want to do)

Jay just chuckled and glanced towards to the kitchen, wondering if their food would be out soon. He then looked back to Lulu and Rev and he just shrugged lightly. “Sorry sweetie, but it’s a funny story and it keeps you humble.” He said with a small smile. “Just wait until little Sprig is able to use magic. Then you’ll get to see how we felt. And then we’ll get to embarrass you again when he’s older.” He said with a slightly dark chuckle.
Revelation laughed as he was elbowed and he just wrapped his arms around his beautiful wife. “Sorry love but King Jay is right. It was pretty funny when you were that young.” He said.
Diantha just continued to watch the family’s interaction. With the reveal of Lulu’s young life she just had more questions for Rye later. What was Lulu like when she was little? How did she learn magic? A bunch of questions whirled in her head before she quelled them to listen more.
((Sounds good))

Lulu slightly growled as she said," I know why you do it, but you always leave out how it was Dantes and Ryes fault it happened in the first place. If they didn't scare me with those undead masks like they liked to do then that wall would have been fine." She was a still a tad bit resentful of how much they did this when she was a little girl.

"In my defense most of those pranks were Dante's idea." Rye pointed out though that was half true. Some of their pranks especially once with bugs had been his idea. Scaring his little sister had been way to easy.
Luna sees the confused look on Diantha's face and leans forward. "I can tell you have lots of questions. Go ahead and ask your questions." She glances over at Rye and smirks a little. "If it's funny stories about Rye I have plenty!"
Hawke perked up at the mention of training and bounces up and down in his seat excitedly. "Will we be learning how to fight?" He would sometimes watch the knights and would try to match their movements. He wanted to fight and be a hero just like the stories!
While they chatted, the servants appeared carrying all manner of food for everyone. They carefully place the plates around them and wait to see if anyone wanted something specific.

Williams men continued to fight, standing atop the pile and stabbing at the men trying to climb up to reach them. While he fought, a figure caught his eye. It was a man with a flaming sword, leaving a tent and marching towards them, approaching the struggling mass of men that the man commanded. “Are you their leader?!” William called loudly while dispatching another man, sending him falling down to land on the crowd below. “Give the order to surrender now, and the rest of your men shall live. I give you my word. If you do not, then your only option is death!” Just in case you missed it, Hawk )

Marcus narrows his eyes and clenches his fist. "I am!" He called out as he continued to march towards him. He glances around at the others as they fought and shake his head. "We fight till the end. The flame backs down for no one!"

”Stubborn lot, aren’t you? And foolish. The battle was won for us, before it even began, yet you still wish to fight. I admire that, I would call you brave, but any man who prays upon the unarmed and vulnerable is anything but brave. If it is your wish to die here, then we will gladly honor it.” William called out, before turning his head in the direction of Paul. “What say you, Roberts? Shall we offer these cowards no quarter?”

"Finish them so we can go home." Paul said as he slowly moves towards them. He changes into his wolf form and races towards the remaining raiders.
Marcus rolled his eyes at William. "So noble and boring." He says glaring at him. "Do you fight as well as you talk?"

Lulu puffed out her cheeks and said," Oh then tell me something, who was the one who would always fill my old toy chest with random bugs or unleash paper eating bugs in my room?" Honestly the bugs never bothered her. but when they started eating her books she was not happy.

Diantha smiled as Luna told her to come to her with any questions she had, or just to exchange gossip about Rye. “Thank you, Luna. I’ll be sure to do that sometime. I would be interested in learning about what he was like when he was little.” She said lightheartedly. She looked down to Sprig and lightly bounced him on her legs. “What do you think, Sprig. Were your mom and big uncle silly when they were little?” She asked lightly. She then watched as the food was brought out and set in front of them. “Oh look, here’s our food, Sprig.” She said.
Revelation watched the interaction between the two siblings and he tried to calm Lulu down some. “Hey sweetie what’s done is done…” he said, but trailed off as a heavy hand hit the table just before the food was set out.
The loud sound came from over near King Jay, who was looking between his stepson and stepdaughter. “That’s enough you two, we can work it out later. We’re here to celebrate Rye and Diantha coming to visit, so let’s eat and focus on happier things, hm?” He said.

Lulu yelped a little bit as her step-father slammed his hand onto the table. Instantly she felt like a little girl again and said," Yes Daddy." she then took a small piece of fruit and snuggled into Rev seeking comfort from her fathers scolding.

Rye jumped at the loud noise and glances down at the table. "Sorry." He mumbles as he starts messing with his hands. As the food is placed in front of them, he starts placing some food on his plate.
Sprig sees the food and reaches the bread and meat. He loved eating bread and anything meat related.
Luna glances over at Jay but doesn't say anything. She liked how Jay could command the room when needed. She starts putting food on her plate and eyes Diantha and Sprig.

Jay nodded approvingly as Rye and Lulu quickly ceased their bickering. “Thank you. Now let’s eat!” He said, quickly moving to get some food into his plate. “So Rye, how has the elven kingdom been?” He asked.
Revelation looked down at his beloved wife as she snuggled in and he gently wrapped his arms around her. He knew she didn’t like being yelled at but he also understood why Jay wanted to avoid bickering. He kissed Lulu’s head a couple times and moved his plate over to start getting some food.
Diantha looked down at Sprig as he immediately reached towards the food and the woman chuckled lightheartedly, tabbing a bit of bread and meet on to a small plate and then moved it within distance of Sprig’s reach. “Here you go buddy.” She said.

"Pretty boring especially where we live." Rye explained as he starts cutting his food. "Although, a few weeks ago these bandits attacked our farm. No one was harmed but I invested in a few mercenaries to be on guard." He mainly had them stand guard during the day and a few to patrol for a few hours at night.
Sprig takes the bread and stuffs it into his mouth. He was grinning as he did so.

Lulu stayed snuggled into Rev as she looked at Diantha interact with Sprig. She was happy how her son hadn't taken much after her in the way of her never ending craving for doughnuts. She then asked her sister in-law," So tell me Diantha how is being married to my elder brother?"

Jay nodded slowly, one eyebrow going up at the mention of the bandits. “I see. Do you need any support from us? Can we provide any defensive magic items, or anything else?” The king asked, wanting to make sure his stepson and his household was all safe.
Nova reached to get some food but his young arms could barely not reach the food. He eventually hugged and looked up at his big brother. “Can you get some food for me, Rye?” The boy asked.
Diantha smiled as little Sprig immediately started eating. She then looked up as Lulu addressed her and she smiled. “Oh it’s amazing. Every day is wonderful. Of course we occasionally have our disagreements but he’s the best thing to ever happen to me. I love every day with him.” She said happily, also beginning to eat some food. “How about you and Revelation? I heard some gossip that there’s a bunch of fairies looking to go back to what was the Fairy King’s Forest in the future.” She commented.

Rye was going to protest but decided against it. Having a magic item or two wouldn't hurt especially if a bigger threat tried to attack the farm. "One or two defensive items would be nice to have Thank you." He turns to see Nova asking for help and brings the food closer to Nova. "There ya go."
He overhears what Diantha says about him and blushes feeling embarrassed and loved.
Luna smiles as she listens to Diantha talk about Rye. "That is lovely to hear. I know we raised Rye right but never be afraid to correct him." She says winking at her.

Jay nodded and smiled. "Of course, we'll get that sorted out later. Is there anything else you need back home? Any food, supplies, anything?" The king asked, before stopping himself and huffing with amusement. "I sound like a doting father or grandfather, don't I." He said.
Nova grinned as Rye slid the food closer to him and he eagerly grabbed some and put it on his own plate. "Thank you!" The boy said happily.
Diantha giggled lightheartedly and nodded. "I'll be sure to, don't worry." She said, beginning to eat her own food. She looked between little Sprig and the rest of the family, happiness and love filling her heart.

Lulu gave a quick nod as she smiled and said," Well it makes me happy to know that at least one of my big brothers has a nice woman in their lives." Her smile got even greater as the subject of the Fairy Kings forest was brought up. With pride she then said," Yes me and Rev have been working hard on achieving that goal, we just have one little hold out keeping us from the next step." Her attention was then turned to Rye as they talked about magic wards. Interjecting she said," I know a couple items that would be of great use for your needs brother."

"I can't wait to see your castle." Rye said as he leans forward and places his arms on the table. "Do you want something big or small?" He was already thinking about expanding the manor.
Hawke copies Rye much to the dismay of Luna.

Lulu looked at her brother and said," I have very little care when it comes to a castle Rye." She looked at Sprig and then Rev before saying," As long is I got my family we can live in a shack."

William studied the situation for a second, thinking about what the best course of action would be. His plan has worked so far, but he noticed that the raiders seemed to hang back a bit from his group of men. The spears, as well as the archers, had already dealt significant casualties to their enemies, so obviously they would be wary of continuing to lose the way they were. William eyed the hostages as well. The longer they were there, the longer they were at risk. He needed to end this, and fast.
“Swords!” William shouted to the men around him. “Let’s cut these cowards down!” All the men dropped their spears, and drew their swords from their sheaths. “Archers, continue to fire until you are out of arrows, then join us! But be careful with your shots!” He yelled before looking at Magnus. “You.” He said, pointing his beautifully forged sword at the man. “Are mine.” As one, the group of swordsmen descended until they were on equal footing with the raiders, and crashed into them like a tidal wave.

Marcus knew they wouldn't survive this but he hardly cared at this point. Retreating meant returning home and he had no plans on doing that. "We will finish this." He says as he starts walking towards William. Marcus hoped to at least deal him a good bit of damage.

William quickly walked towards Marcus, effortlessly cutting down any enemies who happened to get in his way. As he walked, he neared the still burn oil. Studying the flames without halting his approach, and willed the energy of the flames to absorb into his body, refreshing his spent energy as the flames died away. As he neared the man, William held his sword in both hands, shield slung over his shoulder, and lowered his body a bit in preparation for the fight. “I would much rather see you tried for your crimes against this kingdom, but I will gladly gift a warrior an honorable death, even if the only people this warrior has fought were unarmed peasants.”
As he talked, he slowly began to circle the man, remaining crouched. He kept his sword in the low guard position, holding it forward, angled upwards slightly, ready to attack and counterattack at a moments notice. As he circled the man, he feigned a few attacks, testing Marcus’s reflexes, before performing a few quick thrusts, ready to parry Marcus’s blade if he had to, then either counterattack with another thrust, or switch quickly to the high guard position to be able to have more options for offense. He knew he most likely had the advantage of speed, due to his enchanted ring, so William always tried to take advantage of that. Quick, precise, and fluid swordsmanship, not making any unnecessary movements to conserve energy, and also to not leave himself open for his opponent to attack.
