The Wedding Part 2

## Episode 58 - The FeyWild West

The Argent-Grey mansion. After Seline stops Talia from leaving to complete the final task without everyone else, they go inside to make coffee. Seline draws from her Tarot deck, the moon (secrets and illusions), the two of cups (lack of harmony), and judgment inverted. They talk about the next task (Four of cups). They check on Jareth who's still sleeping and promised to come back. Adrienne is waiting outside her door and she gives Talia the family portrait she drew with all their animals too. She says that Talia will need it. Talia tells Adrienne, that they saw her sister Tina again and Tina wanted to apologize for what she did. Adrienne looks Talia directly in the eyes and says

> You better come back.
>
> Adrienne Argent-Grey

Seline promises they will. They all hug before the Argent-Greys find James and Harmon. Harmon's been beating James at chess. Since they still have some time left they decide to strategize and explain the situation to James and Harmon. Harmon theorizes that Sarastra the second reconciled with her father to gain access to his castle and have her servants all over. Also, she might be using the bracelet she gave the king to control him. With whatever it is that's hidden in The Moonlit King’s Castle, the Broker needs it to start his endgame. Stepping into the Glade, it's been decorated. The trees are adorned with spider silk banners. Some of the trees have moved to create a path up to the castle. While discussing James about possibly growing a tail, James rubs at his chest and claims it is not related to his deal. Entering the courtyard, the first guests are wearing masquerade masks and drinking. One has a snake made of golden thread that constantly moves up and down his suit leaving its way through the fibers in the garment. Another has a suit that is covered in eyes that blink and track them as they walk past. Some of the dresses are made out of spider silk others out of moonbeams. Overall the apparel is much more mundane here than at a ball. They're also a wider variety of fey here. There are several large furry creatures. One stands 8ft Tall with antlers that reach up another four feet its face looks like it's made from a deer skull. Maybe a Jersey Devil? There are some Pixies some of them are spread about like decorations. Their light is being used to cast colors over certain areas. There are some smaller fey the size of gnomes. There's a mouse in a military uniform making his way around. As Seline moves further and further into the wedding she's getting more and more nauseated. The Moonlit King, the Queen of Cats, and the River King are present but the Broker is not in sight. The River King comes over and asks if they brought a gift because they were invited. The River King indicates a table of gifts. One is an organ that is still throbbing about the size of a yoga ball. The River King himself gave one of his ribs because they mean a great deal to him.

> **Seline Argent-Grey**So it is I who must have a gift?**River King**You or your companion[Seline gets a strange look on her face]**Seline Argent-Grey**A gift. Something of personal significance to me?**River King**Indeed**Seline Argent-Grey**Something precious?**River King**preferable**Seline Argent-Grey**something to show my appreciation for everything that he who stands between has done for me?**River King**Ideally**Seline Argent-Grey**I have just the thing...[Seline reaches into her bag of holding and curls her fingers around a solid iron coffin Spike. it burns her fingers. She pulls it out and tries to slam it on the table. The River King catches her wrist before she does.]**River King**I understand the sentiment**Seline Argent-Grey**I doubt that.**River King** *(laughs)*Don't. For multiple reasons. The least of which is that if that iron touches that table, the life of you and your friends are forfeit.[Talia realizes Adrienne provided them with a gift. Despite Seline's protest and her own reluctance to do so, Talia puts Adrienne's portrait on the table.]**River King**Never forget this feeling... he causes it often

The River King joins the rest of the guests. The Broker welcomes them to the Moonlit Castle, home and Palace of the Moonlit King. For his final task, he wants them to kill the guardian of the moon and stars. The Broker angers Seline so badly, she wants to cry. They go to the wall Seline saw in her dream of the moon and stars. Seline shatters the key from the River King on the wall. The shards of the key dissolve the wall revealing behind it, the moon and stars. The cosmos beyond appears to move toward them as Seline cast death ward on them all. At the torchlight hits it, a dragon who scales looks like the cosmos beyond is revealed.
