Down the Rabbit Hole Part 6

## Episode 12 - The FeyWild West

Seline finds herself in the halls of the Moonlit Palace. This time she's in what might be called a moon room. As a view of the Moon covers 2 walls and most of the ceiling that are glass windows. Against walls are tables with plants on them. Some of the plants are dead but reflects the moon. Outside is a blue forest and the clearing in the forest not far from the castle where a tall wall is visible. Nearby is a decrepit tower with chunks missing out of it and a crooked top. At its base a stream is coming out of it. Following along the stream into the forest, the Glade can be seen. Seline sees herself wearing a black evening gown that has stars shining through the skirt along with the spider pendant around her neck. In the dress, she finds her cards with the six of cups on top of her deck. Seline tries to will herself down to the Glade but only ends up hearing the sound of the fiddle and flute. Looking to her cards for guidance Seline gets the Page of Cups inverted. With a sigh, she moves toward the music. As she moves further in, the dusty cracked Stone becomes smooth and even covered in carpet as she comes upon the party of the Moonlit King in progress. At the Moonlit King's invitation Seline joins the dance. During the dance, those in attendance go from vibrant in their silks and finery to being pale and withered wearing clothes made of cobwebs and bone. The music also changes from being a full band to just the lonely fiddle and flute. The room itself also goes through similar changes. When the opulent wall tapestries fade to threadbare and the missing an open door appears among them. When the dance ends Seline takes her leave making her way towards the door. The other dancers watch her the expression saying they know she is not who the king thinks she is. Through the door the hallway here is made of rough-hewn stone to the left is a balcony. Beyond the balcony is a courtyard with a stone path and a small smooth water pond that only reflects the Moon. In the courtyard, is a girl with white blonde hair wearing a familiar dress. She's looking at a dead tree in the courtyard before moving on to the pond that she tries to skip rocks on. The Broker soon arrives in the girl leaves with him. Seline leaves down turn the balcony saying the command phrase for her wings which sprout from her back. When she reaches the ground oh, the wings fade back way. She follows an overgrown path down into the Glade. Standing there, Seline remembers being that little girl and spending time with the Broker and meeting other fey in the Glade. She remembers telling the Broker she thought her mother was the prettiest woman. The Broker in response tells her about a woman with hair as black as midnight, skin is pale as the moon who wove the stars into her clothing. The Broker greets her now saying her name, Seline Argent. This time the chord of power that was present the last time he said her name is gone. When he realizes what's changed, a m'lady seems forced from his lips. The Broker stands in a petulantly defiant pose with large snake entwined from his right arm and over the shoulders instead of his normal tattoo with the realization that it was Seline who killed Lord Longfellow. The Broker watches while Seline ignores him. The Broker tries to goad Seline with veiled threats against Talia but Seline teasingly asks if his pride is so fragile. He tries to get Seline to deal for the title but Seline is having none of it. When he doesn't get what he wants, he wakes her from the dream. Seline wakes to find Talia not in bed with her and is relieved a moment later when Talia walks in the front door. She rushes to Talia in relief. After Talia make sure that Seline is okay, they go back to the bedroom where Seline talks about her dream before they go to bed.
