Servius Lane
Servius examined the man as he spoke again. He better fucking apologize for the Coins. Choosing someone who would back off really fucking sucked for the rest of them. But he seemed like someone whoâd get along with the other two despite his⊠Primp and proper appearance. Whatever. He could put up with it like the other shit he did.
One by one, the Fool allowed them to their reintroductions. Servius peered at the powerful being, their eyes carrying a strange light of confidence. He didnât know why⊠But his Danger Sensor carried a stranger tone now. He never felt this before. Even he couldnât describe it, after all his years⊠No. He could.
Highly dangerous but safe?
Whatever did that mean? Could it be him? Was it his general existence near the Fool? It had happened before around some people but⊠Such a thought almost shocked him into confused laughter. Him? Affect someone as mighty as the Omnipotent Fool? No, he shouldnât think that way. He took a breath, awaiting the Foolâs command or guidance or whatever the fuck would happen now. How would they end up in such a far off place as the Human Realm? He almost laughed again. My, all this laughing and thinking. He couldnât stand it. But he felt the glare of the King at the back of his head - high above her height but being looked down upon. Already he had caused enough trouble. He shouldnât try instigating anything else from his inability to hold his tongue. But damn, when was the last time he had to do something of such importance? Not to mention, the backing out of the Coins representative should have been enough to change their view of him. He at least stayed! Still... He could almost smack himself for being such an idiot -
âSeven,â a voice called warningly behind him.
Right. Control the Discord.
The Fool grinned at each of them, clasping their hands together excitedly⊠and somewhat hurriedly. Apparently, they appeared impatient from the wait. âWonderful! All four representatives! So wonderful. Well, we should be off then.â The being disappeared in a blink of an eye before appearing in front of a door. The Fool's door. With a great smile, they swung it open, a bright light blurring all view of any possible vision of the inside from their current locations. The Fool bowed, waving an arm to the entrance.
âEveryone in, please. Letâs get started on the mission.â
Servius stepped forward first. He didnât know why but instead of being averted to it, his Danger Sensor drew him to it. A comforting feeling overtook him - one that overtook the calming warmth offered by the glowing stones and the embraces of ones who truly did care. He stepped first as a signal to the others. âItâs safe. Come.â A sense of familiarity almost came over him. Why? He had never been here. Servius stepped through, the breath being stolen from him. He couldnât believe what he saw, stunned to the point where the others had to push past him to enter. The door closed behind them.
The four of them were engulfed in light, trying to blink through the brightness. The Fool turned to them, grinning as always, bells jangling excitedly.
âWelcome to my abode! I must apologize, I had expected guests but I didnât realize it was this messy beforeâŠâ
One could describe the room as utter chaos. Another, pure genius. Objects floated in the air and the pathway from the door through the room curled in such a way that defied that force which kept their feet on the ground.
If any one word could identify the roomâŠ
âŠThat word was Magic.
