WHO || The Knights
WHAT || Failboat returns from the disaster in LA as the Knighthood goes on lockdown
WHERE || The castle, London
WHEN || Directly after this, Fall 2017
HOW || Actionspam

Hasmed's announcement does not brook any rebuttal: all Knights are recalled to the Castle, where they must remain until the Section Heads and Jack Chessing have spoken about the events in Los Angeles that have left the Knighthood without their usual leader.  

The entire Los Angeles area is now covered with a dark miasma that has interfered with any signals that might be sent out from phones, etc., leaving the whole world wondering what exactly is happening down there.  Final images showed horrendous monsters, a panic of citizens, looting and violence from humans and Shadowkind alike.  

Hasmed has warned of extra magical wards on the castle, and anyone arriving will immediately take notice of one very prominent one: above the entire roof of the excessively large building hovers a black and red sigil in the air, a pentagram in a circle surrounded by runes or words in an unknown language, stretching for miles.

It really won't.

Des, you lied to me. You betrayed me. Played me like an idiot. You proved you have no respect for my calling, for what I do, for the choices that I make. There isn't a version of this where we get the band back together and things are like before.

I'm agreeing to this because Rafael is more important to me than any of it; because I believe that in whatever twisted way, you really do care about him; because I think you really do want to stop the same bad guys we do; because I think there's some part of you in there that might just be able to get yourself out of this. But it's not because I forgive you.

I don't expect you to forgive me, and there's no getting me out of this. I'm here because a long time ago, people made a choice for me, and millenniums later, I had a chance to make my own choices about how I felt about the whole truth of how it all went down.

But the rest of it is true. That's just gonna have to be enough until we finish this. After that, it's anyone's game.

We'll see.

I'll be in touch.
