       Enoch sighs in relief as Muriel reaches out across the ley
       lines. Mirror has been a pain in the arse since he acquired it
       from the Brothers Grimm. Reho: Blessed are we that no one has to
       ask Mirror anything. Realization then smacks Reho hard in his
       mind and he whips his head to Enoch and gives him an angry look.
       Reho: Hey, wanker! You can do the same thing as her! Why insist
       on me asking Mirror?
       Enoch just sits back and shrugs with a boyish grin. Enoch:
       Because I get a kick out of watching you get irritated by him.
       That makes Reho growl as he closes his bag while making Enoch
       chuckle.
       Muriel hits pay dirt when sensing across the ley lines. She can
       sense Hybrazil with its grassy pyramid shining in her mind.

       Muriel blinks pulling her main focus back to the room. Muriel:
       Right on the money. We have a disappearing island to visit. And
       hopefully soon. She tosses her bag of materials over one
       shoulder “accidentally” clocking Enoch in the shoulder in the
       process. The bag has some weight to it too. Muriel: I’ll keep an
       eye out for any changes since things have been a bit off with
       everything going on, but based on past events I would say that
       we have a large window of time before it’s gone to get
       everything done. Doesn’t mean we should dally though. Also have
       I mentioned that I can’t wait to see whatever person eventually
       ties the two of you down in the future.

       Enoch flinches a bit when Muriel knocks him with her bag and
       lets out a soft oof but then chuckles. He decides that it will
       be smart not to make a remark about Muriel would make certain
       succubi in his favorite brothel in Hell jealous. Instead he gets
       up and fixes his sleeve back over the Mark of Lucifer and redoes
       the button. Enoch: Perhaps I should stay here and watch the
       mines. You know stay where I might not.. lose it.
       Reho looks to Enoch with an incredulous look and scoffs. Reho:
       Ha! Like you really care about keeping yourself under control.
       The long trail of bodies in your past is a testament to your
       ability to do that. Reho picks up his bag and steps over to
       Muriel. Reho: Besides, you're somehow the only one between the
       three of us who knows where one of the items we're looking for
       is hidden. So you're coming along where Muriel and I can keep an
       eye on you.
       Enoch grins a bit and sighs. Enoch: Fine. Some guys just can't
       have any alone time. He then walks over towards the others with
       a chuckle. Enoch: I guess I can deal with it though. I'm sure
       between Muriel and Morrigan that I can be kept in line. Shall we
       use the Druid's Gate in the magical transportation wing?
       Reho: Considering its deep connection to places like Stonehenge
       and Salisbury Hill, that might be a smart idea. Reho looks to
       Muriel with a curious look. Reho: It would save us the walk of
       the long way out of the mines. Since you and Enoch can sense the
       island, perhaps you can get the Druid's Gate to connect to
       Hybrazil.
       Enoch: Why not let me?
       Reho: I trust Muriel with making sure that we're connecting to a
       safe location to walk out. You'd probably find a way to drop me
       in the ocean again.
       Enoch: Fair enough answer.

       Muriel just nods with a soft smile. Muriel: It shouldn’t be a
       hard task at all. I think I can manage to get us there safe and
       completely dry. And Enoch dear…it’s probably best you kept
       whatever comments you had to yourself. Though you could use some
       work on keeping it off your face.

       Enoch gives Muriel a nod and a wry grin. Enoch: But then I
       wouldn't be me if my thoughts didn't show on my face.. and we
       both know that's part of my charm.
       Reho: And how we know that you're about to slaughter someone.
       Reho says with a bit of snarkiness and then turns to walk to the
       Druid's Gate.
       That makes Enoch laugh. Enoch: Touché, old man. Touché. He then
       bows to Muriel and hold his arm in the direction that Reho has
       begun walking. Enoch: With that said, looks like Reho is ready.
       Ladies first.
       On Hybrazil:
       Morrigan had gotten the crew of the HMS Highland settled and
       told them where they were. She didn't like telling Captain
       Worthington and his crew that they couldn't leave which they did
       protest but not for long after she took the captain to King
       Arthur's resting place in the doleman style pyramid. That
       convinced the captain.
       Captain Worthington: Never in my life did I imagine that I would
       be standing so close to the greatest king of the British
       kingdom. He says as he looks from the stasis tomb to the Sword
       of Truth better known as the Sword in the Stone or King Uther's
       sword.
       Morrigan: And now do you understand why we can't let you and
       your men leave until we can get the island cloaked in mystic
       fog? She asks with hope.
       Captain Worthington: Aye, I do. He says as he turns to Morrigan
       with a combination of awe and conflict. Worthington knows that
       he had sworn an oath to Queen and country, but here is the
       legendary True King of Britannia laying in quiet slumber. His
       loyalty now feels split, but his heart is not as he sighs a bit.
       Worthington: My men and I will do more than just stay.
       Morrigan gives Worthington a curious look. Morrigan: Oh? How is
       that, Captain Worthington?
       Worthington: Your old cog may be enchanted but she's still made
       of wood and will not stand up to modern day warships and
       submarines. He says as he offers Morrigan his arm to walk out of
       King Arthur's resting place. Worthington: My ship though small
       for a British warship will be much better against ocean
       intruders. Morrigan takes his arm and they walk out of the
       doleman like pyramid as he continues. Worthington: Of course,
       that would mean charges for treason by today's standards if we
       do help defend Hybrazil unless there is a way to disguise the
       ship and my crew.
       Morrigan gets a bright smile as she listens to Worthington while
       they walk back to the main village. Morrigan: My dear Captain
       Worthington, I believe that the Coven of Hybrazil can handle
       such a task.
       Worthington: Then consider my ship, my crew, and myself at your
       service in protecting the resting spot of the one true King of
       Britannia, Lady LeFay.
       Morrigan: Oh bless you, Captain Worthington! I promise that it
       will only be until I can repair our mystic defenses. She says
       with joy in her voice as they walk together.
       Worthington: You are most welcome. Now to figure out exactly how
       to explain this to my men. He says with a hint of worry but
       still with a laugh.
       Morrigan: We could always have the more single ladies on the
       island help ease the blow.
       That makes Worthington break out in a hardy laugh. Worthington:
       Most of my men are single sailors, and I fear that I would lose
       them all to the ladies of your island home, Lady LeFay.

       Muriel: So polite of you. She swipes the last of her things off
       the table, stuffing them into her bag as she follows Reho
       towards the gate

       In Solomon's Mines:
       The Druids' Gate isn't far from the library as Reho, Muriel, and
       Enoch walk to it. The old sarsen stone gate stands in a large
       wall niche with runes and Celtic imagery carved all over it.
       Reho stops before it and looks to Muriel. Reho: It should
       respond to your touch and thoughts of your destination. I would
       try, but the last time I did the darn thing dropped me off at
       the last base camp before the summit of Mount Everest instead of
       the front door of the Mirage in Las Vegas. I'm afraid that we'll
       all end up in some Russian gulag in the middle of Siberia if I
       try again. Reho says as he steps to one side of the gate.
       Enoch just smiles a bit as Reho speaks while he brings up the
       rear of the group. He then snickers a bit as he remembers the
       unexpected trip to Mount Everest and the commotion that their
       appearance caused especially among the Sherpa people. Enoch: Ah
       yes.. Mount Everest was fun especially when the Sherpa swore
       that we were a warning before a yeti attack.
       On Hybrazil:
       After the good laugh shared by Worthington and Morrigan, she
       went about gathering the most powerful of her coven in order to
       disguise the HMS Highland while he joined his men and explained
       the situation. Morrigan is already enjoying having some fresh
       faces on the island and hopes that Worthington can convince his
       men to follow through with the plan. The island is lively as
       those who aren't helping with the HMS Highland scurry about with
       daily chores and making the newcomers comfortable. She sighs
       with a bright smile as she begins to gather the elders of the
       island. Morrigan: Well, now we have allies to help us with
       defending the island from foreign invaders. All there is left to
       do after the job with the ship is done is figure out why and how
       Hybrazil has returned to its earthly home.

       Muriel chuckles. Muriel: Hopefully there will be no winter
       vacation to be found this trip. I didn’t quite pack for such an
       adventure. She then focuses in on the ley lines passing through
       and around the Island. She also recalls her last visual memory
       of Hybrazil and the island’s terrifying lady pirate of the time.
       She slips a hand up along the stone gate as she does.

       In Solomon's Mine:
       The Druid's Gate begins to glow with a pale blue light through
       the stones once Muriel touches it and then gathers in the
       center. Then the glow brightens to almost blinding before
       suddenly fading to reveal an image of the green witch village of
       Hybrazil along Morrigan's old cog ship and the HMS Highland both
       floating at the docks in the background. This sight surprises
       both Reho and Enoch once they uncover their eyes from the
       instinctive reaction to protect them.
       Reho: Well that is not what I expected to see behind a more
       medieval style village. He comments about the HMS Highland as he
       studies it a bit.
       Enoch: with a hint of demonic growl We're not going to be the
       first outsiders on the island. He clenches his fist and thinks
       about how well Morrigan can handle situations like this. Enoch:
       Let's find out what is going on. Enoch then walks briskly
       through the portal in the Druid's Gate.
       Reho looks to Muriel for a moment. Reho: How about we just
       follow him? He then holds his elbow out for Muriel since the
       gate is big enough for three people to walk through.
       On Hybrazial:
       A Village Woman: The Druid's Gate has activated from the other
       side!
       Morrigan looks back in time to see Enoch with a very unhappy
       look on his face walk through the open portal gate and get
       surrounded by four armed British naval officers with weapons
       drawn. Morrigan: By Odin's ghost... Her voice starts off in
       shock but quickly ends in horror as she knows full well how an
       armed greeting will be taken by Enoch. She runs straight for the
       Hybrazil Druid's Gate, waving her hands, and shouting with
       urgency.  Morrigan: Stop! Enoch is an ally! Stand down if you
       value your lives!
       Enoch looks around at the armed soldiers and gathering crowd of
       villagers some of the oldest he remembers from his last time on
       the island. He was going to attack and disarm the officers until
       he sees and hears Morrigan. That's when he takes a less
       aggressive posture along with the armed officers.
       Captain Worthington had made his way towards the farthest end of
       the village where most of his men had been relaxing when the
       gate activated and the commotion began. He runs back with
       several of his armed men behind him. He was ready for a fight
       until he heard Morrigan's call about Enoch and whoever coming
       through being friends. He slows his pace and relaxes as he gives
       a hand gesture ordering his men to do the same. Worthington:
       Appears that Lady LaFey knows him. We'll just carry on our
       conversation while Lady LaFey handles that. Worthington says as
       he turns back to his men. He was getting ready to begin speaking
       with this group of his men about staying to help Lady LaFey
       until a pale blue glowing orb appears behind Worthington. He
       turns around as he backs away from the glowing orb just in time
       for it to burst and fade to reveal Atlas III. Worthington: Good
       God.. Wh.. what is going on here? Men, surround this intruder
       until I can get Lady LaFey over here. Worthington then walks off
       towards Lady LaFey while his men surround Atlas.
       Atlas is wiping the light burst blindness from his watery eyes
       as several of Worthington's men surround him with guns aimed.
       Atlas: Cr*p.. I'll have to tell Nikki that her teleportation rod
       is still causing temporary blindness. He says as he finishes
       wiping his eyes and begins to blink to try and regain focus. As
       the blurriness and temporary blindness begins to fade, Atlas can
       just make out guns being aimed at him by five men and quickly
       puts his hands in the air where his Atlantean Marks of Heritage
       magic tattoos can be clearly seen from the Druid's Gate. Atlas:
       Whoa! I'm a good guy and a friend. I'm also unarmed. Just have
       my archeological and other stone work tools, fellas.. well, and
       a teleportation rod. I came here to help. Honest!

       Muriel slips her elbow through Reho’s before stepping through
       the gate with him. She takes a steadying breath, adjusting to
       the ancient magic as she carefully follows Enoch farther in. She
       takes in the ships behind the village as the yelling reaches her
       ears. Muriel: Well we definitely aren’t the only unexpected
       arrivals popping in at the moment.
