To court a prince (closed)

[Warhaven]

"Well, I won't push the subject. I will however, note that the offer remains on tap, should curiosity get the better of you." He said.

He was finished, and rather satisfied.

"All in all, very good."

[The Floor Kippers]

Agatha Smiled as she Finished hers "Thank you Pondera, Would you Like some more?"

[Warhaven]

"Oh I'm afraid I don't have the room. I'm rather full. But thank you anyway though." He said.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Would Anyone else Like anymore?"
"No" said the others one after the other, with Bill standing up collecting the plates and adding "I'll do the dishes"

"In that case the Rest of us will retire to the living room" Agatha said Getting up and going into the living room

"Are you going to coming to the living room Pondera?" Carol asked, standing up and stretching

[Warhaven]

"Of course, you'll be there, I'll follow you anywhere." He said.

[The Floor Kippers]

Carol Smiled at Pondera
"You really know how to make me realise how Lucky I am" She said as they entered the living room

[Warhaven]

"A meal that good makes me wish I was a better cook so I could reciprocate in kind." Pondera commented, waiting for Carol to take a seat so he could sit beside her.

[The Floor Kippers]

Carol sat on the Sofa
"I could Teach you sometime" She said "In fact I would enjoy it."

[Warhaven]

"I believe I would too." Pondera said, sitting beside her.

[The Floor Kippers]

Carol Smiled at Pondera as he sat next to her

"So Pondera, What Is a Kernkraft?" Charlie asked

[Warhaven]

"I, I've never encountered Kernkraft personally, but based on reports from when Carol obtained him, both from the other units in the Squad she leads, plus Sir Rahegalhoff and Lady Irene themselves, I have a fairly solid idea of what Kernkraft is.

He is many, yet one. Living, yet dead. That was Rahegalhoff's description.

Kernkraft is a swarm entity, composed of a great variety of Pests and Vermin, both living and dead, walking, crawling, and flying. Each member of the swarm is either living, or undead. The individual units can combine into larger creatures, and they can all combine into Kernkraft himself, which has aspects of every creature that comprises him." Pondera said.

[The Floor Kippers]

"How Interesting, A Swarm Entity" Charlie said "And what's Bruno?"

[Warhaven]

"Terrifying." Pondera said as his entire explanation.

Then after a slight chuckle, he continued on.

"Historical records indicate that once, long ago, a bored wizard once combined the DNA of a pirannah and a rabbit. He never made that mistake again.

The average Vizzerdrix is six feet tall, and capable of manuvering boulders weighing several tons. They have remarkably sharp claws, and fangs. They are powerful Predators.

Bruno was an exceptional Vizzerdrix. Pardon, he IS a remarkable Vizzerdrix. He stands at seven feet, and is stronger, faster, and meaner than any other Vizzerdrix.

I am not certain how much of his strength and speed has been transferred into Carol for becoming his summoner, but, I am certain she is the strongest Gryphus Sapien alive at the moment." Pondera said, giving a better explanation.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Ah That's why Carol has put on some muscle since we last saw her" Agatha said

"A Wizard Did it, Seems to add up, although a worrying thought strikes me," Carol said "Pondera, are you aware of the Multiverse Lifeform theory?"

[Warhaven]

"That each creature exists both as a natural evolution, and as a product of experimentation?"

[The Floor Kippers]

"Yep, that's the one" Carol said, She then Continued "So by that theory, there are some naturally evolved Vizzerdrix somewhere, which means that I never want to go to the place where they did evolve Naturally, Because Whatever Kind of environment caused them to evolve naturally has got to be terrifying in its own right"

[Warhaven]

"Couldn't be any worse than Sky Garden, and I can guarentee beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt you'll be going there." Pondera said, casually taking a drink of juice.

[The Floor Kippers]

"And What's Sky Garden like?" Carol asked "Or do I not want to know?"

[Warhaven]

"If I told you, that'd spoil half the fun of First Mission." Pondera said.

[The Floor Kippers]

Carol Looked at Pondera in Mock sadness
"Not even a Little hint?" She Asked

At that instant a Huge, wet, Dark Red Dragon chose that moment to Suddenly Appear out in the street with a White Flash.
Someone Got off it's back, the dragon then began to shrink down to the size of the horse, jump over the hedge and sit in the Miller's Front Garden

[Warhaven]

"Not one single hint. Well, ok, a small one. Sky Garden is on Ephseus, and flies like The Flying Continent." Pondera said.

[The Floor Kippers]

Carol Smiled
"I Suppose the Name Sky Garden should have been a Massive Clue" She said.

The Front Door Creaked open
"Hello Millers?" A Voice Called from the Hallway

"We're in the Living Room" Agatha Called
"Right" Came the Reply from the Hallway.
The Door to the Living room Opened and Sir Nigel Griffin Entered the room, very wet But Smiling Happily.
While He Looked in his Mid-Forties only his eyes hinted at his true Age

"Hello Millers" He said, Slumping into a free chair, taking his hat off "And Hello to you Prince Pondera"

[Warhaven]

"Good morning, perhaps Afternoon even, Sir Nigel Griffin. It is a pleasure to make your aquaintence." he said, teleporting to Sir Nigel's side, standing up in the process, and extending his hand for a firm handshake.

[The Floor Kippers]

Sir Nigel Stood up and Shook Pondera's Hand, he then Looked at his Watch
"Afternoon at this time of day. Please, Call me Nigel, I'm not overly keen on using my official Title, Makes me seem Pompus." He said "By the way, sorry for Being so wet, Got caught in the rain"

Behind him Outside, the sun shone and there wasn't a cloud in the sky

"Anyway, A Pleasure to Meet you At last" Nigel Continued "I've heard a fair bit about you"

[Warhaven]

"I'll stick with Nigel, if you stick with Pondera. By the by, allow me." He said.

With a touch, Nigel's clothes became dry. Then he returned to his seat.

"Wet clothes are rarely comfortable in dry spaces." He said.
