Sir William Redfort
William watched the other two as they spoke and joked about the food, smiling softly as he did so. When Selene mentioned about knowing more about their neighbors, William spoke up. “Well, I would hardly consider that country and this kingdom to be neighbors. It’s a land far away. I would even be surprised if it would show up on any of the maps in this kingdom. Well, I never seen this kingdom on any of the maps back then, anyways.” He explained before finishing his doughnut and grabbing another piece of food up. “You know that is mostly just a term we royals use for all foreign nations, it is supposed to to represent a form of friendship.” Selene said with a slight exhausted chuckle. Honestly she was never keen on the international politics side of being a member of the royal house. Her ears then swiveled as she the faint sound of an explosion.

Selene closed her eye for a moment and noticed mass of dark magical energy coming from the direction of the triplets room. She felt a little bit torn on whether or not to go and investigate, especially when she could sense other magical sources near it.

Scover had been happily enjoying his snacks with his mother and Sir William and was having a happy time. However then he heard the explosion and the boy jumped. He too looked up towards the source and also detected all the magical presences like his mother. "Mama... what is that...?" He said in confusion, his eyes shimmering with nervousness.
Diantha grunted as she tried to struggle to her knees again. "Don't touch the artifact!" She shouted as she saw Rye nearing the boy and king Jay. "It'll attach itself to any host it touches. We have to extract it and contain it with holy magic." She said. She was still exhausted, but knowing the artifact's nature she knew they couldn't wait to contain it. She pulled out another two stones from her pouch, clear as glass except for a slight frosted look. "Mages that can stand, we need a holy containment artifact or a box with holy sigils." She said, making her way over to Rye.
Jay was still holding on to Valex in his strong, tight hug. "Its okay Valex, we'll get it off you. Just stay strong and continue fighting it. My boy yourr doing so well." He said, eyes beginning to water at seeing how much pain Valex was in.

"Holy magic ey?" Rye bites the bottom of his lip as he considers what to do. He could do some holy magic enough to repel undead and such but would it work against the artifact. Suddenly something popped into his head and he whips his head to one of the mages who appeared to also have the same idea. "Quickly now teleport or send word to the church! I think Father Josiah or just any of the workers might have what we need!"

Valex's eyes started swapping back and forth between their typical silver and the crimson. With each shift in color the boy would start to thrash about. As he forcibly shook around waves of dark magic reverberated in circler saw like motions over his body.

Sir William Redfort
When William noticed how tense and worried both Selene and Scover were, he knew. “Magic, eh?” he said to them, more of a statement than a question. “I’m no good at sensing it myself, but I can tell by the looks on your faces. You probably already know that would rather you stay here where it’s safe, my lady, but I have learned by now that you wouldn't listen if I brought it up. So, Selene, what are you planning on doing?” He inquired.

Selene looked at William for a moment before looking over to her son and just hummed as she thought. She then snapped her fingers as she bit her thumb until it a small cut appeared, oozing a small amount of blood. She let the the blood fall to the ground, which created a magic circle. From the circle came a scarlet cat, which promptly disappeared. With a smile she said that should work for now.”
As for the cat it appeared in a crimson magic circle next to the the queen Luna. Without moving its mouth it asked, “Queen Luna, my mistress desires to know what is going on?”

Luna looks up to see the scarlet cat. "There is something wrong with Valex! He has some elven artifact stuck to his neck that is causing him to act crazy! Um I think I overheard them say they need some kind of special holy box to store it. Selene if you can please help!"

The cat gave a quick nod before seemingly melting away for a moment. It took at least a minute before the cat seemed to reform in the same spot as before. Opening its mouth for the first time it slowly coughed up a white box with silver, which fell to the floor. The feline then said, “My mistress has this to use, it is a holy container.”

Scover watched as his mother apparently used her blood to summon a familiar. "Momma, was that a demon?" He asked, remembering how Lulu was also a demon contractor and it really scared Fina and Ven.
Diantha and Jay watched the exchange between the cat and Rye. "Rye bring that box over here." She said, stumbling over to be behind Valex and facing the artifact. She took a breath and watched the artifact move. She was running low on magic already from the containment spell earlier so she wasn't sure how this would end. But she had to try. Holding the translucent stones in her hands she poured magic into them and they started to glow white. "The light banishes the darkness. Shadows hide and evil shrieks-" sweat was beginning drip down Diantha's face, clearly overworking herself and struggling to finish. "-The enemies of light will not tread upon this space. Black Artifact Anteros, release your hold! Blessed Ground." Diantha finished, kneeling and then collapsing forward as her hands with the stones hit the ground. The stones instantly shattered upon hitting the ground, becoming dust that floated up as a large spell circle appeared under her, Valex, and Jay. A bright light filled the space and holy energy descended. Diantha was out cold at this, completely out of energy and then some. Her skin had become an ashen color, her body overexerted and trying to recuperate.

As Diantha used her magic the metal scorpion let go of its grasp on the boys spinal colleum and went inactive. This caused the boy to go completely limp as his eyes turned back to normal. All of his energy was gone and he just almost instantly passed out from magic over exertion and wounds.
Selene looked at Scover after the cat she summoned disappeared and just smiled. "Yes it was, am I correct in assuming that you have dealt with them before?" She as just wanting to know if he had dealt with such creatures yet or not.

Rye grabs hold of the box and hurries over to Diantha. He watches in awe as she preforms the ritual. His heart drops when she falls to the ground afterwards. Without thinking, he grabs hold of the scorpion and shoved it into the box before shoving it over to one of the mages.
He bends down next to Diantha placing his hand gently on her back. "Diantha!" She had used to much of her power to contain the dark artifact.

With the item stowed in the box the cat quickly went and scooped it up, swallowing it. Just like that it melted once again into the ground. Garnet meanwhile buried herself in her mothers shoulder as the bright light went off in the hall. Once it was gone she pulled back and asked, “Is it over mommy?”

"I think so." Luna gets back to her feet and slowly moves to the door. She gasps when she sees Diantha and Valex laying on the ground. "Someone fetch the healers and take them both to the infirmary! The same for everyone who is injured." She briefly glances at a unoving body before quickly looking away.
Rye hears his mother's voice but doesn't quite hear her. He carefully takes Diantha into his arms and rises to his paws. "It's going to be okay my flower." He mutters softly to himself.
Mason and a couple of other guards arrive at the scene and quickly rush to the royals to see if they were okay.

As Valex was freed from the disgusting artifact, Jay quickly pulled the boy closer onto his arms. "Its okay, Valex. You're going to be okay." He whispered, looking up as his mate came out from the triplets' room. He then looked to Rye as he held Diantha in his arms.
Diantha's heart was still beating, although faintly, but she was able to slowly open her eyes just a tiny bit. "I'm here, Rye... just exerted myself too much." She whispered, before closing her eyes again.
Nova toddler to the door to their room as their mother left and he peeked outside, seeing all the damage they had happened.

Valex weakly looked at Jay as his eyes started to dim, as he inches closer to passing out from exhaustion and blood loss. “F-father, forgive me.” With that he finally passed out just in time for a couple mages to come over to start and administer first aid, though they looked heavy to do so.
Garnet followed her brother and was shocked to see the havoc that her newest brother had done. In a scared tone she asked, “Is he and Diantha going to be okay?”

Luna looks down at her two toddlers and pulls them away from the door. "Yes, they are going to be okay." She promised not wanting to traumatize her children any further. However, they couldn't exactly stay here. "Mason, can you take these three to a different bedroom or to the stables to distract them for a little bit?"
Rye kisses the top of her head and begins heading to the infirmary. He ignores the nearby mages asking if they could help.

I feel like I just have to do this) One of the guards that managed to not get to hurt throughout the rampage walked up to the queen. Offering a quick bow asked, “Your highness what should be done about the boy, should we have him taken to the dungeon. It is clear that he is to much of a threat to be allowed to just stay free.”

(Oh trust me after this, I planned for most of the castle resident save for ya know the royals, and maybe William will be avoiding or spreading rumors about Valex A rumor about said "demon boy" may or may not end up making it's way into the city) "Valex will be taken to the infirmary where he will be monitored and watched but that is it." Luna straightens up her back to make herself look a little taller. "He didn't mean to cause this much harm. He was under the influence of something sinister."

Ah glad to know we are on the same page.)
The guard shook his head as he said, “Forgive me for speaking out of turn but that is not a good idea. It does not matter what caused him to do all this but the fact that he did. He took out seasoned guards and mages like it was nothing, he simply to dangerous to keep around free.”

Luna bites the inside of her cheek as she thought about his words. She wasn't going to have Valex locked up in the dungeon but there were some concerns. "I will consider your words but he is not going to the dungeon." She briefly glances at Jay then back at him. "I can have Selene look him over and possibly magically bind his feet."

The guard was about to say something more but stopped himself due to not wanting to anger the queen. He quickly took his leave, but as he did Garnet looked up at her mother and asked, “Mommy Valex isn’t gonna stop being are new brother is he?”

Diantha instinctively shifted into her husband as she was carried, her breathing becoming steadier as she fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.
Jay was still holding Valex close to his chest, watching as the mages came closer. He saw that were nervous and almost reconsidering helping the child. He let pht a low, commanding growl and ordering them to heal him to the best of their ability. He then watched as Luna also ordered the warriors to stand down. He wouldn't let anyone touch Valex. In fact he was about halfway ready to find Valkner himself and give him a thrashing. Once the mages were done he gently lifted Valex up. He looked over as Nova and Garnet ran out to Luna and he smiled at them as best he could. "Oh sweetie, Valex will always be your big brother. He just wasn't himself today." He said gently. It would be hard to try to explain the situation to the triplets at their young age.
