The Escape
"I am the high prince Rindell, and my sister princess Keela. You have been brought her to be made my consort."
"My father's father, and his father before him created an army of monster men to protect our lands from any potential threat. The price was the lives of all the natural born thaumaturge's. All we have left are the Alchemists and Enchanters. I sent my army out to scour the far lands to find one such as yourself and your bloodline."
Osa looks Rindell in the eyes, her lips tight with anger, then she shouts at him, "You destroyed my village, killed my people, had me and my brother tortured, because your ancestors abused and killed your most powerful mystics to create an army of monster to protect you from non-existent enemy." Osa's hand clench and all the bear, wine, and water in the room starts to bubble and ripple, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE MONSTERS DID TO ME!" Osa nods her head and nothing happens, all the cups and pitchers stop reacting to her attempts to control them
Rindell and Keela smile at each other as Osa looks confused, her magic seems to have been cut off. Rindall says, "The metal that we all wear here acts as a protective magical barrier. The barrier prevents the enchanted liquid gold and silver from covering us, and it absorbs any esoteric effect that tries to flow past it, in or out. You can effect yourself, but nobody else." Rindall raises his drink and shouts, "Salute to my future brides first tantrum!" Everybody raises their cups and says, "Salute!" Rindall looks at Osa and says, "Either enjoy the festivities or return to your seat." Osa turns and marches back to the stage and sits in the chair designated for her. Keela joins Rindall in the ceremonial dances.
