She leads him to the door, and knocks lightly on it.

He nodded once and just...started walking towards the Iron Realm.


He looks around.

she followed him.

She doesn't wait for an answer. She opens the door and scents around, swiftly finding Ethan's scent, who's probably in his room.

"Queen Mab!"

The shout, high-pitched and gravelly, echoed from beyond the clearing, and a moment later a leafy bush scurried into the tent and danced around at Mabs feet. It was a goblin with leaves and twigs glued to its clothes, making it blend perfectly into a forest environment.

"Queen Mab!" it rasped. "Iron fey! Snigg spotted many Iron fey camped at the edge of the wasteland! Sound alarm! Ready weapons! Run, run!"

Mab swooped down and in a blindingly quick gesture, grabbed the frantic goblin by the throat, lifting it into the air. "How many of them are there?" she asked softly, as the goblin choked and kicked weakly in her grip, his leafy camouflage bobbing.



He is.

Lise had no clue about that.

(Nobody:
Mab:

"Hello, Ethan. Your sister wants you to take care of this kelpie until she gets back." she kneels down next to the kid, hands him Ares' reins, then leaves without bothering to give this child even a slight explanation on how to care for an aquatic murder-horse.

(xD No kidding)

"Um." The goblin gave a last twitch and calmed down. "Few hundred?" it croaked. "Many lights, many creatures. Snigg didnt get a good look, so sorry.

"And are they approaching, or stationary?" Mab continued in what would have been a calm, reasonable voice, if the glassy look in her eyes hadnt betrayed her scariness. "Do we have time to prepare, or are they right at our door?"

"Few miles out, your majesty. Snigg ran all the way back when he saw them, but they had camped, camped for the night. Sniggs guess is theyll attack at dawn."

"So we have a little time, at least." Mab tossed away the goblin like she was throwing out an empty soda can. "Go inform our forces that battle is nigh. Tell the generals to attend me, to discuss our strategy for the morning. Go!"

The goblin fled, a leafy bush scrambling out of the tent. Mab whirled on Oberon's rep. "It is terribly convenient," she hissed, scowling, "for Oberon's daughters to appear and we are immediately attacked. It is almost as if they are coming for them."



Ethan hardly even cares. He's been left alone with Ares before and is still alive, sooo...

Lise continues walking with Puck.

Anyways, Isiea happens to be being carried by Malign in the same area as the ticked off ice queen. And, annoyingly enough to Isiea, her ride freaks out the moment he scents the unseelie leader, drops Isiea, and dashes off. Causing Isiea to faceplant in the snow a couple yards away from the tent.
