Bad News

(RP for Caterina. Others may watch unless tagged.)
After Rehoboam gave Muriel the grand tour of the Solomon Mines,
they had gotten to work in the library. The library is huge and
filled with thousands of scrolls and books spanning thousands of
years in age. There is even a whole section dedicated to
extraterrestrial scrolls and books minus the Voynich manuscript.
It took them almost most two months to find the right
manuscripts but success was the reward for their searching.
Instantly Reho and Muriel notice that the tome isn't written in
just one perhaps two ancient languages but four ancient
languages. Two of them Reho does recognize fairly quick as
Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Manoan a culture from South America
that predated the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca cultures. Their
hieroglyphic style was quite apparent in a circular design. The
Ancient Atlantean script (similar to Classical Ancient Greek
script) and Ancient Celestian (similar to Gallifreyan) were what
threw him off. Reho looks to Muriel as they pour over the
multiple scrolls of the full manuscripts. Reho: I recognize both
the Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Manoan hieroglyphs here in what
I am assuming is one very powerful demon trap circle drawing. He
then points to the Ancient Atlantean script which is basically a
dictation of why the ritual was created, who was present at the
time of the ritual's creation, and why the creators couldn't use
it at the time of the ritual's creation. Reho: I thought this
was Ancient Greek possibly Minoan but it's not a dialect that I
recognize. Reho then points to the Ancient Celestian which is
the actual ritual instructions and incantation. Reho: While I
have no idea what language this is and will probably take
another several weeks just to find a translation unless you can
translate it.

Muriel peered at the two languages, cocking her head as she
peered over them. The Atlantean script was recognizable enough
to her. She had a few pieces of text in her own house personal
collection. Muriel: You’re very close with Ancient Greek. This
one is Atlantean. It’s written in a boustrophedon style similar
to the way the greeks used to write in stone and has more
characters in writing than you actually need to speak it. She
points to the first line of script from left to right and the
second right to left. If i’m reading it correctly it’s the
historical account of the creation. They why and the who. This
last part explains why it wasn’t usable directly after creation.
She moves on to the fourth and final language This one is very
similar to Gallifreyan, but it’s not exact. It’s almost a sister
language. I can either spend a few minutes trying to cipher it
out based on the language similarities or we can dig around in
any books related to Gallifrey and the connected planets. See if
we come across anything that matches.

Reho listens closely to Muriel as she speaks about the two
languages that he didn't recognize and that's when he remembered
the special section in the library dedicated to alien languages.
Reho: Now I'm sure that we can find a translation on this
language that you say is similar to Gallifreyan. My father had
been friends with several races from outside of this planet
including the Gallifreyan. He does get a small puzzled look
about the Atlantean language. Reho: I always knew that the
Manoan, or what the Aztec called the Olmec, were real, but I
always thought that the Atlanteans were nothing more than just a
myth to teach people how not to act before God.
Enoch had quietly slipped up behind the engrossed duo and
listened silently. He finally speaks once Reho is done. Enoch:
That's because they were a few thousand years before your time
and what is told of how the 12 tribes of Atlantis fell are but
mere shadows of what actually happened. A look of remembrance
crosses his face as memories of days past flood back to him
while he walked around the table and takes a seat. Enoch: I, on
the other hand, am old enough to remember the Atlanteans and how
powerful they became.. and how arrogant 9 of the 12 tribes
became. They mastered magic to the point that they became beings
of magic. They became masters of traveling through time and
between dimensions. They learned the ways of tattoo magic. They
mastered the magical art of stone mastery and built the great
pyramids around the world which harnessed the planet's natural
lifeforce. They knew no disease, aged by hundreds even thousands
of years, and brought an age of magical technological wonder to
the world. His brow furrows a bit in anger. Enoch: Then the
arrogant 9 tribes decided to do a dangerous experiment and
screwed everything up damaging the Earth's lifeforce in ways
beyond words. That's why that spell and the Chaos Trap pictured
in the text exists. He then gives them both a coy little grin as
he begins to unbutton the sleeve of his left arm and rolls it up
above the Mark of Lucifer. Enoch: As for translations, you could
just ask someone who was there when they were created for some
assistance.

Muriel looks over her shoulder at Enoch after he joins them with
a slightly annoyed glint to her eyes. She steps to the side
giving him room while she peruses the fourth language still
searching in the back of her head for an origin even as she
listens to Enoch speak. Muriel: Enoch, dear, if you knew what
the bloody hell this translates to why have you been standing
here watching us struggle? You could have saved us an awful lot
of wasted time and energy. How Reho hasn’t absolutely done away
with you by now is a damn miracle all it’s own.

Enoch listens to Muriel with a slight smirk as he relaxes in his
seat after rolling up his left sleeve. He then replies with a
very matter of frank tone of voice. Enoch: I was struggling with
the decision to help and fulfill my part in the grand scheme
thus losing the Mark of Lucifer and destroying the source of the
First Blades power or keeping my mouth shut.. and what little
conscious I have left won. Enoch looks to where Muriel is in the
library. Enoch: You're going to be looking for the Ancient
Celestian to Ancient Hebrew by Solomon and Zelpharia.. Enoch
does get a wry grin. Enoch: ..though it may not help without the
counterspell to the translation protection spell that was placed
on the actual ritual chant by Morgan LaFey.
Reho gets a surprised look on his face as he stops working on
translating the Atlantean text. Reho: Excuse me! A protection
spell against translation?
Enoch gets a bit more serious as he prepares to explain more
once Muriel comes back to the table. He knew that he would be
their best chance for a fast basic explanation of what the
Atlantean text says.

Muriel spends a moment searching for the book Enoch recommended,
plucking it down once she finds it. She wanders back to the
table and places it down above the text. Muriel: Of course they
would place a protection spell against translation. This ritual
exists because of their greedy grasp for more power. Any smart
person would protect it’s usage from someone later down on the
off chance it ended up with someone who has that same need to be
all powerful. The Atlantians already did enough damage to the
planet. Morrigan was vastly intelligent though it’s been so many
millennia since I last heard of her involvement in anything.

Enoch gets a warm smile of a fond memory. Enoch: Morrigan is a
vastly intelligent woman. I wish it hasn't been so long since I
had the chance to talk with her.Both the smile and the tone in
his voice give away that he actually has the ability to care and
be friends with someone. Enoch: I do miss her ship and all the
damn British naval ships we sank together. He then chuckles a
bit and then shakes his head as he realizes that he's getting
off track. Enoch: As for translating the scroll, Morrigan used a
special protection spell that is a speciality of her coven of
green witches which make finding a counterspell very difficult
as much of their knowledge that was left after Hybrazil's
disappearance in 950 AD were burned during the last Great
Inquisition. Morrigan and I both decided in 1563 that it was
best to leave the counterspell on Hybrazil. He then shifts in
his chair a bit and speaks with a more serious tone of voice. As
for the Chaos Trap, the giant granite circle was divided in two
by Atlas the Grand Stone Master and only one of his bloodline
can heal the two halves to make the mystical trap functional. I
only know where one half of the trap is located which is in an
ancient Olmec temple hidden in the heart of the Colombian
jungle. Imhotep hid the other half in a location only known to
him and Morrigan so it could be anywhere along the Nile River
from Cairo to Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
Reho places his forehead in the palm of his hand and rests it on
the table in front of him. Reho: So basically we have a ritual
that we can't translate without a counterspell that is more than
likely on an island that isn't on Earth while one half of the
trap is somewhere along a very long river. Why does this sound
like it's going to be harder than I though? He then looks to
Enoch and rests his chin in the palm of his hand. Reho: And how
do you know where the other is?
Enoch gives Reho an ever rare encouraging look and smile. Enoch:
There's a reason why I've been hanging out between here and Hell
without argument. The mystical power levels on Earth are almost
as high as it was prior to the Atlantean botched experiment. Not
only does that over charge me to possibly pop my restrictions,
but it's also creating the perfect conditions for Hybrazil's
return.. and I always know when Morrigan is on Earth. Enoch gets
a wide grin. Enoch: To answer your second question, the powers
that be thought it would be a good idea to have me hide it and
protect it. His grin then gets a bit wider. Enoch: And I have a
good security guard.

Muriel sighs mostly in frustration, but her face has the
smallest amused grin. Muriel: Enoch I can’t decide if I want to
kiss your stupid face or choke you out. This is taking playing
the long con to a whole new level. If she is back, which I’m
gathering is the case without even reaching out to see if
anything has shifted for me, then we have a lot of bloody work
to do very quickly. She reaches over and settles a comforting
hand on Reho’s back. I think it’s time to put a pin in our work
here. We can’t move forward without help and we just so happen
to have the perfect conditions to get it. We need to jump on
this before we lose any opportunity at all.

Reho takes a deep breath and then sighs as he begins to collect
things together. Reho: You're right, Muriel, especially since
there really is no other choice. He then snaps his fingers and
his bag appears unclasped and open. He then begins loading the
texts and scrolls into his magic bag. Reho: And what security
guard do have protecting the artifact, Enoch?
Enoch gets big grin. Enoch: I promise that he's a reliable 500
year old man of Aztec decent. He hasn't let me down in the last
450 years and doesn't look like he will. Andres is very
trustworthy with such antiquities.
Reho sighs again in a bit of frustration as he continues to
pack. Reho: And how do we see if Hybrazil has returned?
Enoch gets a thoughtful yet smartarse look. Enoch: You could
just ask Mirror.
Reho: No.
Enoch: Mirror could tell you what you want to know.
Reho places the last few items in his bag. Reho: I refuse to ask
that smartarse anything.
Enoch: Muriel could ask Mirror.

Muriel huffs a small laugh. Muriel: I could ask mirror. I could
also just reach out on the ley lines for a major shift in
energy. I mean I do maintain this insufferable planet from the
ground up most days. She begins to pack away her own things
while reaching out along the lines for the smallest shift.
Muriel: Anything to avoid the mirror.
