N:   The three of them waved goodbye as everyone went their own way, and as soon as they left Ireland went and picked up a heavy bucket. "I bet your royal arses haven't done a decent amount of physical labor," he commented, walking away so they can start at the bottom.

"If so, take a guess who took care of your impossible self when you were a child," England countered, calling out to him.

"Dad!"

The Englishman let out a sigh of annoyance as he picked up some tools and followed his son, with BE following soon after with the servants. "May God help us," was all he said.

Meanwhile, Johann followed with Esha and walked beside her. "So," he asked, "what sort of fun are you think to teach Prometheus?"


M:   "I don't know, I was thinking of taking him hunting and just putting an invisibility spell on him so the sun can't see him, but I don't know if he would want to take that risk."

They kept walking until they eventually found the tailor and she explained her idea, "My spell will last a good five hours and will make you invisible only to your enemies. And if you don't like hunting we can just have a relaxing horseback ride around the area, what do you say?"


N:   "I don't hunt," Prometheus replied, "but a horseback ride would be nice, although," he hesitated, "I'm not entirely sure if the spell would work. But we will never know if we don't try, right?"

"Great," Johann smiled, "let's go," as the three of them went out to get their steeds.

Just before the tailor went outside, Esha cast the invisibility spell on him, and when he took a step outside, he held his breath, "I guess the eight-minute timer starts now." After a while, he thought of something, "if I'm invisible, how will you see me?"


M:   "It only makes you invisible to those who wish you harm," Esha explained, "Johann and I don't want to hurt you so we can see you just fine, and this spell lasts a good five hours so if we want to stay out longer I will have to redo it."

She put her fingers to her mouth and let out a loud whistle, she waited for a moment then whistled again, tilting her head when nothing happened.

"Hmm, I wonder where Sleip is," she asked, "Johann, you haven't happened to have seen him, have you?"


N:   "Ja, I have," Johann answered, "he was with Edel earlier, since he was a bit upset, and then he started to give Sleip a bath. They are probably sleeping now." He leaned closer to the Eternal and whispered, "If you ask me, your horse and Edel are getting real close."


M:   Esha hummed in confusion, "Strange, dragons and Sigvens are natural enemies, Sleip and I had our fair share of fights with hungry dragons, I wonder why he likes Edel so much."

Esha tried one more time to whistle for Sleipner, and finally the octo-horse came trotting out of the woods. Esha let out an amused sigh and went over to greet her steed and bring him over to Prometheus.

"I don't know if you properly met Sleipner," she said, scratching the horse's chin, "he's the last of his kind, we've been partners since the days of the empire. He used to be called Lagoon but he wandered off and inspired the myth of Sleipner, so the name stuck."

Slep nickered and gently nuzzled Prometheus, quietly thanking him for helping Esha come out of stasis.
