ϡ - Chapter Twenty; those who have gone missing [action/voice]

[ There's a clear strained sigh coming from the opposite end of the transmission. A few moments later some shuffling as someone moves about in the background. ] Frederic's been...taken. He, um, has been for awhile. I-I wasn't supposed to make anyone worry, I'm terribly sorry for not saying so sooner. [ There's a clear tone of guilt in his voice. It goes against Frederic's wishes but he has been gone for awhile. Helios will pull out a chair and take a seat next to his journal. ]

I'm not sure when he'll back, but I thought his friends should know. I apologize for this--especially before the holiday. [ A pause accompanied by a sigh. ] I don't understand why they do such things in the first place.

[ Filtered Poorly, lol how does I technology, to Poland ]

Frederic left you a letter. He asked me to deliver it to you. Do you mind if I stop by?

I am so going to! I like, haven't ridden a horse in forever because I got sent here and dude, as much as I love my ponies? I can't really ride them.

[The only downside to ponies. Only one. Otherwise they are the most beautiful creatures to walk the planet.]

I have to admit I have ridden before...it was surprisingly fun. I wouldn't mind having a go at it again, here or back home.

Dude, riding horses is like, the funnest thing ever. Oh my gosh and Hungary's here and she's like, really good, too. We need more horses here!

Maybe the Malnosso can bring some.

Hungary? Hm. A ride out to the mountains when the weather gets better does sound tempting.

I'm sure they could. Is that how you got Rue?

It's totally always my favorite part of Spring. First ride out on the horses.

And yeah. Like, they told me they couldn't just give me a pony I didn't have? But it was cool since I have a few.

[Like ten.]

Ah so you're quite the rider back home then, hm? I don't have any of my own but it's probably for the best. Rather busy and...well I don't think the horses would appreciate having dragons or werewolves eying them about the castle. They're exceptionally perceptive creatures after all...they'd probably see right through the ring's magic.

[ He totally says that jokingly, but no, really they'd probably freak out. ]

Wait, you like, have werewolves and dragons?

Dude, werewolves! Aren't they people or some stuff that do that transformation thing and turn into wolves after they rip all their clothes off like a perv?

Yes we do and many other things as well.

[ Helios can't help but laugh at that. Not the way he'd describe them but good enough. ] Yes something like that. It's usually because of a curse that they transform though. Not because they want to. [ Or because they're pervs, Poland. ]

Like what? Do you have mermaids? Or unicorns? Oh my gosh, if you have unicorns, are they cool? Because they've always seemed like the cool ones.

Curse? Those are stupid. [And now werewolves are definitely on his bottom rung of awesome mythological creatures.]

We do have those as well, yes. Especially unicorns! Amazing creatures, very knowledgeable.

They certainly aren't very fair. But no one willingly agrees to them naturally.

Can you ride them? I bet they'd totally be fun to ride. And like, it's pretty cool to say you rode a unicorn.

Can't they just get rid of the curse?

[ Helios think about that for a moment; his face one of mixed amusement and genuine curiosity. He's honestly never bothered to ask. ] Er, well...I'm sure you could. I'm not exactly certain how much they'd appreciate it though.

Getting rid of curses is a rather tricky business. Wolfsbane works or even an exorcism. But for lycanthropes it's usually not possible besides the alternative. [ Meaning death. ]
