Shouldn’t we exhaust all options first

[fiddlestick]

Nope.

There's nothing Nessie can say that'd make me trust her completely. You either, I bet. And if we somehow got her to agree to show what's down there, there's no guarantee she wouldn't just be selective about what she shows us. She is the most powerful witch in the Coven, after all.

But if we got in there without giving her a chance to cover things up, we'd be able to know for sure what's going on down there.

[usurpers]

Her being the most powerful witch in the Coven is the problem. That place isn’t unguarded enough to walk in with invisibility, or as an ant.

Fae could see through illusions. Either that, or fake the illness. It’s how I got into Dorchacht’s basement.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I know... that's why I haven't tried it yet.

[Otherwise he totally would've. What's a little breaking and entering once and awhile?]

The only Fae I know well is Steven, and I don't want to get him involved in this. And faking would take a lot more here. Remember, only the really bad cases get sent down there. Dorchacht treated every case the same.

I'm sure there's some way, I just haven't found the opportunity yet.

[usurpers]

[ and here’s the bad part of eren considering involving steven in this so they could rule out potential coven threats. and then the other part that wants to smack himself and go no!!!!!. which was worse, holding off on morality or getting shit, potentially harmless or not, done? piece in another puzzle to secure the chance of home being on visible horizon lines. the inner workings of a jaeger . . .

he ends up staying silent and rubbing his forehead for quite a while. the things he’d do for freedom. ]

Yeah
You mentioned the Bright Wall earlier.

[ something he remembered during his pause! ]

[fiddlestick]

[Eren no. Not only is the tiny fae boy young and still trying to figure out his path, he's also super soft hearted and might totally snitch on them. It is...hard to say what is the bigger reason in Elliot's mind.]

Yeah ... I haven't looked into the wall, admittedly.

But being in Dorchacht and studying their wall made me realize how little I know about Aefenglom's. All I know is that it's good for keeping Cwyld out.

[usurpers]

[ so were the other kids. ]

It’s built directly above a leyline. That’s where it gets its energy from.

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah but Steven is extra soft okay]

Really? Where'd you hear that?

[usurpers]

From a Professor. Cohen Bell.

[fiddlestick]

Hmmm...

If the leylines here work like Spirit Veins back home, that'd make sense. Those would have more than enough power to power a wall.

[Man, he wishes Emma was here. She knows more about this stuff and it'd be able confirm leylines. He doesn't know what to look for]

[usurpers]

A witch can tap into one if it’s strong enough. A monster can sense it, too, if the quality of its magic is secure.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, Emma would do it back home.

I'll see if I can look into how to do it, so I can check if there is one there.

[usurpers]

Actually . . . Aefenglom is one.

[fiddlestick]

The entire city??

[usurpers]

I don’t remember if it’s just at the center or the entire thing, [ have to check the library again!!! ] but it’s known as a node. There’s a map.

[fiddlestick]

That's like Heimdallr... [His hometown, as he's mentioned a few times]

If that's true, it is a better power source than people. Hope it doesn't work against us sometime.

[Like it does in Heimdallr]

[usurpers]

The Cwyld spreads pretty fast if its tainted with it.[ is one bad point for them that he could think of. ] What're you used to?

[fiddlestick]

That makes sense. The Cwyld is a magic based disease, so a leyline would be a feast for it.

In Heimdallr? Well most of the time the veins aren't active, so things are pretty normal. But during the war they did get more active and ...

[How to explain the Infernal Castle]

Some people summoned a doomsday castle full of spirits and demons that nearly destroyed the entire city?

[usurpers]

That’s a story to tell

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, you could say that for sure. Apparently other stuff's happened there in the past too, but you'd do better asking Rean for details. History's more his thing.

Point is, I'm going to hope it doesn't go badly.

[usurpers]

We’ll just have to look deeper. I’ll keep Rean in mind [ history likes repeating itself, ] and I have a hearing scheduled with one of the dreamwalkers.

[fiddlestick]

You do?

Any chance I'd be able to go?

[usurpers]

It’d be good to have backup to bring me back if I don’t.

[fiddlestick]

[It takes a moment to get it but]

Oh, they're meeting you in a dream.

Well, okay. I can do that. I'm very good at being loud.
