				To Hella Howesward, the most skilled and sought after consultant on matters of the dead, or perhaps more correctly, how they ended up leaving the mortal coil the night was young, the company stiff and the summer temperature was even chillier inside the large morgue that served as London's central hub of corpse-handling. The King's Mausoleum having been built with economic help from the Graveyard Society, was state of the art in equipment and staff...And looked like the misshapen offspring of a shoebox and a aquarium. Brown-red brick corners with glass and metal making up the first floor, with the second and third floors being all glass and steel. The two underground floors were a sturdy concrete foundation however, and built like a military bunker. Hella had her own office at the second floor, with a view of the Thames that she could enjoy if she ever got the urge...Though why anyone would find the Thames enjoyable, is another topic.<br>However, amongst the other staff it is jokingly said that her real office is in sub-plane #2, where her own little domain had been made with the corpses coming there usually special cases, or those that the Alpha or Omega squads brought in. Today, fortunately for everyone's lunch it was an Alpha-case that had been brought...And the body doesn't remind anyone of haggis.&nbsp; Just some poor schmuck who'd gotten caught in the path of a rampaging beast over at the Camden Market. Case of death might be trampled by a hybrid between a bear and and elephant, or having been hit by half a dozen shots from the Alpha squaddies fire. Alan Cross, the young head honcho of the Alpha teams sit on one of the metal tables meant for the dead and watches Hella with a calm expression of immense boredom.<br>So Doc, any chance you can give me the cause of death so that I can sign the papers?"<br>He was the type of person who'd make a great action movie star, handsome enough looks but a stony tough-guy act. And he's also dripping beasty-goo on her table.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/47/34/dd/4734dd4d33301c22823f4ac741cca776.jpg)</div></div><br><br>To Tegan, watching the pups of London's boudas paid well enough, as they were insanely protective of their cubs and she had come very highly recommended by Jarl, Hella's baby brother who was connected to the loose federation of packs and shifter types making up the London Shifter Community. Though right now it is perhaps not the most glamorous job as one young cub is hanging off her back, it's arms held tightly around her neck as it squeals happily. Another youngling is holding on to her right leg.<br>Amanda, the bouda matriarch and a motherly woman in her late 40's chuckle as she enters the nursery. <br>"So the mighty is brought low by the tiny yet again. Are you doing alright Tegan?"<br>She'd taken to the younger Bouda from the moment their eyes had met, and accepting her as part of their pack would have happened even if Jarl hadn't asked. Right now she's holding a plate with freshly baked cinnamon buns in one hand.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://images.assettype.com/motherly/2015-11/32e2a989-c45c-4aad-86e6-77a34eac2845/unnamed-4.jpg)</div></div><br>Brígh Murphy, up and rising star of the College of Mages, and liaison to the Foundation for Magical Education, Research, and Lecturing (Or Merlins among the common man) had been summoned to the office to the director of the foundation. Mr Parker was an old man, as British as they came and less Stiff-Upper Lip and more Rigor Mortis Face, a pair of small glasses sitting on his nose and making him look even more like a stern teacher about to hand out a spanking, while forbidding you to drink tea.<br>"Miss Murphy, how good of you to come. I hope that it was not too bothersome for you to be called here at this hour?"<br>The MERL, unlike the CoM, was strictly commercial; providing a public face for magicians of all stripes and aid with judicial needs.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://andermcintyre.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/stern4.jpg?w=560&amp;h=516)</div></div><br>The Knight's of the Round were heroes, the good men and women and the occasional troll who protected the British Isles from dangers. However, heroes had a tendency to die young in their line of business. So the London chapter finds itself without another member as one of their own was slain in Camden earlier this very evening. So at the chapter house things are a bit more quiet than usual, withthe Knight-Commander having called a gathering.<br>Elisabeth Marsden, the Knight-Commander of the Knight's of the Round in London is a stern woman, a veteran of the Highland Campaign against the Loup horde and the epitome of steady leadership. She looks out at the full knights and knight-sergeants gathered, thirty men and women all in all.<br>"Knight-Sergeant Westley gave his life in the service of the Order, his loss will be felt as he was among our most senior staff. But as always my brothers and sisters, we must persevere and continue onward . Knight Swan, I would like for you to head to the King's Mausoleum morgue and retrieve his body as soon as possible. He deserves to receive a knight's full burial."<br>She turns her focus to Cassandra, and while her tone is gentle enough it is still a command.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/52/77/8d/52778d749bc86caaf5508accf9610d15.jpg)</div></div><br><br>At the Hireling Society, things were interesting. The attack at Camden had stirred up fears among the common man that monsters were going to burst out of the woodwork, even now that Magic had been down for hours. Which meant a lot of people, primarily shopkeepers at Camden had paid for mercenary guards. One of those were Joss and her partner for the evening, a sword wielding Norwegian called Gunnar. The grizzled merc having found a support beam to lean against while people milled around. <br>"So, yo tink dey have anytin' to worry about Josch?"<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/55/fa/1c/55fa1cb9f3c7c62e52a5509f6d9907f3.jpg)</div></div>

				<div align="center"><span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">It was always a nervous time when the knight-commander gathered the Knights into the meeting hall. It was either to celebrate a well deserved success or to announce one of their own has fallen in the service of the order. It was sadly the latter. She knew Westley well from her time as a Knight. A good man with a kind heart. He would be missed.<br><br>As her name was called out she turned to face Knight-commander Elisabeth Marsden, placing her hands behind her back and nodding once towards her commander accepting her orders. "At your request Commander. I shall bring him home with haste." The next thirty minutes was quiet, calm and somber. Each member taking quiet reflection on what Westley meant to them. Another thirty minutes and she was ready to set out to the morgue and retrieve Westley. </span></span></div>

				<em>"How did I get here ? Where am I right now ? Pi ? It's dark outside! And is that ceiling moving closer ?"</em><br><br>Those thoughts were just a few that were going through the red-head's mind as she glanced at the ceiling, folding her hands in front of her, then dropping them to her side, balling her fists, before folding them again after adjusting her glasses.<br><br><em>"By the car that was send for you. Mrs. Whitmore knocked. Twice. You're in the office of Mr. Parker. Yes, it's dark. So what ? And ceilings don't move. That's just in your head."</em><br><br>Those were the replies that her own thoughts provided, even as a part of her registered the voice of Mr. Parker asking her some question.<br><br><em>"But you already teach classes on comparative theology, and classical languages. As well as participate in the community outreach programs ... HEY, HE ASKED A QUESTION !!!! EARTH TO BRÍGH. QUESTION.."</em><br><br>"W...w...w...." she stuttered as her green eyes focussed on Mr. Parker and her brain called out some less flattering things to her self. <em>"I came because I was told to come. And yes, it is bothersome. It's dark outside and cars are already on the edge of my comfort zone."</em> her thoughts went.<br><br>"No." was her reply as she looked at Mr. Parker.

Dropping the clipboard and pen on a side table she picked up a pair of latex gloves before sweeping back her unruly black hair to pull the hair tie she kept on her wrist around it. <br>"After a full 30 seconds of looking at the body I can tell you that I don't see signs of poisoning. I'll stretch that to that I THINK bloodloss is in the cause but more than that and you're going to have to give me a chance to work."<br><br>And she wanted to get on with it, who knew when magic would hit and say what you wanted about electronics but the easily directed light and power tools made her job a lot easier. So putting on her gloves Hella rolled the cart with her tools up to the side as she started the preliminary examination.<br>"I see a lot of crushing damage but also a lot of bullet wounds, at this point it could be either of it honestly."<br>Deep and smooth in that husky way that tickled the behind of one's neck Hella's voice rang out as her eyes were focused on the corpse, allready her attention narrowed in on the task at hand.<br>

Though no one had asked, and those awkward first moments around boudas had given into the familiarity of romping cubs as two had charged into the room. The tense line of her shoulders as she had been bowing her head and at the same time revealing her neck to Amanda back then had lessened and now there was not a sign of that formal younger bouda that Amanda had been greeted by the first day.<br>In the middle of a mighty battle the two young cubs were fighting for glorious victory to take down Tegantuar, snatcher of cookies and fearsome tickler. Tegan took mighty steps and raised her arms to accompany the mighty roar as she spotted Amanda... ...ARRRrrr...err, hey. I am outnumbered, outmanned. She seemed content in her horrible fate though, even as she continued. &nbsp;How oh how can I...oh hey, are those CINNAMONbuns? Two cubs echoed her words and she was released in such a speed that she had to grin<br><br><br>

"...like a beast of burden, as they should at that age." <br>The bun was left forgotten in her hand for a moment as she watched Amanda. This place was run differently, something she had caught on to quickly once she relaxed enough and hence she didn't hesitate to ask when the question lingered in her mind. "To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit?" It was in no way meant as disrespectful, but if there was something in particular on Amanda's agenda she was simply ready to do what needed to be done.<br>Meanwhile she took another bite of the bun.

She finished the bun, and licked off her fingers. Giving the plate a glance to see if it was still within acceptable range for it to look like Amanda was still offering for them to be taken. Though her head bent and gaze lowered just the slightest as Amanda asked her if she needed a reason. "Of course not." There was no fear in the way she acted. For her it was respect for the one she had accepted as alpha.<br>As Amanda continued the plate with its delicious bounty, although set down and now within reach, was forgotten and Tegan wasn't as cheerful.<br>The reaction wasn't always this clear when that pigheaded white knight from a time long ago came into mention, but that he STILL thought she needed an escort?! "Good, maybe he's finally found something better to do." There was enough hint of teeth to show her irritation, but Amanda's trust in her worked as a soothing balm. Not only in what she said but that she let her close to the cubs, and the irritation subsided as quickly as it had risen. "All healed up now. Good food and a clan works wonders."<br>Truth be told, even around Jarl she had stopped challenging him around the clock to prove something to herself and to him. She had found a better way for what she perceived as "His worried looks" to end, even if it hadn't discouraged him enough to stop with his escorts when he had the time. <br>"He didn't specify why?" The question came out of the blue as she was starting to get suspicious about what exactly he was doing as the message hadn't been to her directly.

				Only a tiny part of Brígh's brain was registering that taking out someone heart was something scary. The rest was going through her near encyclopedic knowledge of magical traditions and the other half was working out the formulas required to make such a thing possible.<br><br><em>"Wait what ? Did he say consultation ?"</em> a tiny part of her brain caught on and alerted the rest and she looked at Mr. Parker with a puzzled expression for just a bit, <em>"But you hardly go out.

It was true after all, and she was grateful towards him for taking her there but she still withdrew to the kitchen. The scent of blood not as heavy in there and she felt herself settling a bit more, enough to answer to that nagging voice that said that she needed to make amends since this was not her home and she was in no way alpha. So as Jarl entered the kitchen a plate was slid across the table in his direction, a plate nearly shielded from view by a multitude of sandwiches. "You are used to running without a pack I guess. Those are for you." Her gaze never directly met his, that is until he mentioned it was a grizzly. "You should have tucked tail and ran for back-up." Loups were mean crazy bastards, add the size of a grizzly and explosives felt like a good idea.<br><br>

It's the seat of emotions. The control circuit of life. Removing the heart by some believes could make one undying, no matter the wounds one would receive. Controlling the heart of another, would literally give you control over the owner of the heart you were holding. And there is no magical theory that would prevent such a feat from being performed while magic is high. But then, when magic drops, so does the ability to live without one's heart."<br><br>She sighed and looked at Hella again.

But alas, he wasn't allowed anywhere but in her domains.<br><br>Hella answered the smile with a splendidly friendly, oh so fake, smile in turn. "James... This is knight Swan of the Round and miss Murphy from the Foundation of Magical Education, Research and Lecturing... I understand that the director of said foundation has been in your care. It seems there are similarities to what I am currently assigned, might we not put our bright heads together?"

The book tossed aside and the door opened so she could step out, grab his arm and start walking towards the exit of the lovely abode. "We need to scatter. I picture this as one of those rare mating rituals where, if you disturb the peace, the couple will just flee. Your sister needs to stretch curled toes to the ceiling while screaming her lungs out."<br>Not until they had their shoes on, and were well out the door did she pause long enough to look at Jarl. "I guess we could do that bounty thing meanwhile." Priorities, she sure did have hers straight in a line.

				<span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">For a few dark, harrowing days the motley bunch of individuals all followed paths of breadcrumbs on their own that ultimately would have them unite. Brígh, Joss and Cassandra&nbsp; encountering a female supernatural being&nbsp; that reeked of death that almost claimed their lives while Tegan, Jarl and Hella fought a lion-headed man more that 12' tall. With traces found and investigations done they ultimately cornered the woman responsible for the deaths of the knight and the mage, Alexandra. The battle would be remembered in dark memories as she could gather darkness to envelop light, and she could control the dead and undead better than any Necromancer. In the end though, Hella had managed to neutralize her undead minions long enough for the others to take her down. Though before she died she had uttered a cryptic promise of "The Hot Gate will break, and Acheron will join with the Thames...And Hades will be here. Fallen Queens hold no power here in the future." Celaning it up fell to the Alpha Squad who had been bloodied by the undead minions of Alexandra earlier of the final day. For the Hirelings the pay was phenomenal, two thousand quids each. Those who did not serve as mercenaries got the thanks of their organizations and the city for taking care of a very dangerous threat to public safety.<br>And with that, things settled down for a week and a half of peace for Brígh and daily routines of training, paperwork and the occasional monster hunt for Cassandra before they both find themselves sitting in one of the cramped offices belonging to the Alpha squad at their bunker-like HQ standing on top the ruins of Parliament. To the magically knowledgeable the&nbsp; wards on the buildings were impressive, and they could most likely withstand just about anything. The 3' thick concrete walls would keep physical threats out. To each of them there had been a letter delivered, about a request for their aid in a case of some importance to the city of London and praising their job with the Broken Heart Killer. So, here they are in chair that are barely comfortable and waiting for whoever will speak to them to arrive.</span>

				Brígh couldn't recall anything about the shifter being drugged. Though from what she knew of them that'd be difficult in and of itself, as Lyc-V went after anything foreign in the body like a vengeful act of god. And the report can basically be summed up as . "No idea why this happened."

Usually the head of a shifter clan would most likely be staying somewhere fancy or at the hearth of a fellow shifter group but due to the haste of things happening Mr Bruce is living at a small, turn of the 19th century hotel called "Homestead". Upon entering it they're greeted by two shifter bodyguards. Both big, burly types. One male, one female. They look at Cass and Brígh expectantly.<br>

				The two look at Cassandras ID then the male shifter leads them up to the third floor and a suite there. Inside is another shifter, a man that oozes confidence and an arrogant sense of self. Dark eyes turn to the two women and their chaperone. The one who lead them there gestures at them.<br>"My Lord, Cassandra Swan of the Order of the Round and her companion. They're here with news about Brianna..."He bows, then steps otuside and leaves Cass and Brí alone with Robert Bruce.
