<div align="center">Ah, war! Such an interesting and sudden turn of events. With the angels and demons invading the mortal realm, all eyes had been on the massing armies staking their claim on the nearly helpless mortal kingdoms. As with all things, the Fae had watched and whispered to each other. Many Fae, especially those of the Seelie court, had become rather fond of mortals. They played with them, invited them into their realm through rings made of mushrooms, and sometimes even stole mortal children and replaced them with their own. Losing such a place was surely undesirable. The thought of a cease fire first came from the Seelie Fae, but the Unseelie court was quick to agree. Representatives were sent, and slowly the armies were convinced to take a moment to gather together and begin peace talks.<br/><br/>Upon hearing the terms for these talks, Catriona had volunteered to represent the Unseelie court in the upcoming debates. She rather liked mortals herself, and she was immensely fond of challenges. If this, getting the armies of Heaven and Hell to retreat from their hold on the mortal realms, was not a challenge then Catriona would have to find a new hobby. The Seelie court offered up their representative as well, and then Catriona had set out.<br/><br/>She got her experiments and books in order and had them shipped off to the mortal realm, on schedule to arrive a day or so before she would. And then, she waited. The palace itself was warded against teleportation, yes, but she knew where the wards ended. On the arrival date, she conjured her illusory form and simply appeared several hundred feet above the dwarven palace. She descended slowly, and took the time to watch the snow fall around her. She did not feel the cold around her, and some part of her still ached at her loss of feeling.<br/><br/>She landed in an aviary where a rather scantily clad demoness had landed a few moments before her. "Good morning," she greeted, "I am Catriona Ó Caoimháin mac Ruaidhrí and I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Lilith Bloodhammer." She bowed, grateful that she had gotten close enough to hear the name in time. She hoped to be on friendly terms with as many people as she could while she was here.</div>
