Onyx shrugged. I had a sense that you would, Willow, he thought. His eyes narrowed for a second, a barest flicker of violet-crimson shining for less than a fraction of a second.

"Great. Sky I need you to teach Acos how to dance. I wonder if they've discovered Kabuki Theater yet. I've always been fond of that style of performance." Eiji can feel himself getting excited for the moment, then a stray thought came across him mind, "We must control our abilities, one slight twing in the balance of energies and Tarik will be able to pick us out like a hound to his prey. Tread with caution.

Onyx chuckled. He doesn't realize I had abilities that were unusual even before I found about the Guardianship, he thought.

Moredred looks at Willow's direction but she was already gone. Tarik could feel the aura of the stones nearby. He alerts some of the special guards to be vigillant. Celebrations go on with merriment, lots of food and plum wine.
((I did see transformed guardians at the Mayan ball court))

Before they arrived the white doe had come to her. Immediately she recognized it as the guardian she had placed for the Princess. Relief filled her eyes as she received the animal it gave her reassurance that she was alright for now but frightened. Securing her own message she sent the doe back whispering it to be careful and not be detected. Once she wad done she watched as the others prepared each was choosing what they could do to infiltrate the palace. "If you would like I am able to play a sting instrument." she told the guardians. It seemed appropriate one danced the other would play.

Either way, just... just be careful. Not many people can excrete energy unseen by the naked eye. We're dealing with demons here... not normal people. Eiji crosses his hands, feeling a little tense. He then turns to face Serena, "A stringed instrument would be perfect."

Sasori thought about what she would do, as they wait at the gate to be let in, she notices that there is a small boy with a bamboo flute sitting on a stoop. She slips away and trades the boy a gold nugget for the flute. The boy is amazed that someone would pay so much for a homemade flute. He hurries home.
Sasori walks back to her friends. "Looks like I'm going to play the flute." "We will need to be careful since we are walking into the lion's den uninvited." She can see through the gates that there is a whole army of demons, practicing martial arts. At the moment, she wish she had Onyx's powers to slip into the shadows. She follows her friends through the gate.

Tarik sees the girls he saw playing hide and seek earlier, enter the room. He thought them bold to show up late for the banquet. Usually the Queen would not accept such behavior but since his grandmother, the Queen had passed away, Moredred's second wife had not seemed to care, she was too busy indulging herself in the delicacies.
Tarik found out that the banquet tonight would go on for the next few nights until the climax at the New Year's celebration. Moredred was in a celebratory mood and invited many important dignitaries to the banquets. There were demons, vampires, werewolves, and other dark creatures that were either seated or would come in the coming days.
Moredred told Tarik of the possible partnership of Slayer and Skurai and that there was indications of troop movements. Tarik was not surprised about Skurai but Slayer, he was upset about. How dare he, after Tarik had given him so many chances, and forgiven him on his wedding day and gave him his freedom as a wedding present. Slayer has sold himself to the demons. He came to us for help. Tarik was furious at Slayer for being ungrateful, double crossing, and dishonorable. He would take great pleasure in slaying Slayer and his family for being so insolent. Slayer will weep for his wife and family and wish that he never double crossed the demons. Tarik declares at the banquet for all to hear, "I offer the bounty of 1,000 gold nuggets for every slayer head and 100,000 gold nuggets for each head of the slayer royals." Slayer worried about the guardians wanting his wife's head, even though he was sure that the guardians really could not care less about his wife. But now, he has made a bigger enemy. Tarik ruled Antera and Moredred from Asia to the Middle East, their armies outnumbered Slayer's easily without even trying. He would deal with Skurai separately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Ixchel toils in the kitchen, washing dishes and peeling vegetables. She was sitting outside by herself cleaning and chopping enough vegetables to feed half of China. The dove appears and sits next to her as she chops the cabbage. The bird gives her hope that she would one day go home to her family and twin brother.

Destiny watched the other beings in the room. HArmony climbed up onto her chair. Destiny seemed on edge, she was watching everyone in the room carefuly.

The word of Tarik's bounty on the slayers spread like wild fire throughtout the realms and kingdoms on Earth. The offer of gold was great since at that time period, gold was so precious and the normal person was lucky to have one gold soverign in their lifetime. Most barely made a half pence in a day. To have a thousand pieces of gold would buy a lifetime of goods.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tarik goes back to the banquet and has some wine. He chats with the dignitaries and jokes with the vampires. Some of his cousins are vampires so they have a strong alliance on Earth and Antera.

"Remember the plan guys. We are a troupe, a band of traveling performers." Eiji follows after Sasori through the gate. He speaks to himself in attempts to calm his inner doubt.

Onyx chuckled as a complex rhythm floated suddenly near him. He held an odd instrument, plucking slightly with his fingertips casually, as if he weren't really thinking about it. And you think I don't know how to do that?? he thought, obvious amusement in his tone. It was one of the few times his tone was unguarded to some extent.

"It's show time!!" He thought to the others in a historical tone. Eiji follows up behind Onyx's music, speaking in fluent Chinese to the people as the parted to make way for the approaching band, he did his bow to the King and his court.
Acos and sky, begin your dance... Sasori and Serena, follow Onyx's lead. Elaise, follow me. Eiji began to direct the crowds attention to Acos and Sky, being sure that the guards would be enticed by the performance. Remember appeal.
