What: The heroes go hunting for the King.


The castle staff, as unhelpful as always, had no idea where the King had gone to. Some had guesses, of course, he went off to track down Prince Charming and drag him back home, he went out visiting the Giant Kingdom, he went across the sea, he went to see the state of the Old Capital, no, they hadn't actually seen him leave... they just knew that he had. This just happened every now and then, you see, one of the older maids explained. The King, being the King, just sometimes was elsewhere. Just wait a little while and he'd be back soon enough.

But that was hardly helpful now, now was it?

He flinches, inhales sharp between his teeth. There is a ripple of pale, human skin that flows outward from where he touches Cho, and it fades again into blue just as quickly. The scalding magic burns within him.

He murmurs a spell, too quickly, close to stumbling over his words. A spell to create a path, to find what it is they seek: the King.

Loki shapes Cho's power, and the magic flowing between the two of them takes the form of the proper spells. Directed by an unfamiliar force, it stings Cho, making her skin almost crackle with a strange discharge of static.

And then the paths light up, leading into the castle. She stares down after them. "Well..." Then she nods her head once, internal decision made, and begins following one of them. Into the castle. Where the staff all insists they have no idea where the King has gone. "Something tells me we're not going to find what we're expecting."

"I can't think of a single real accomplishment which I've been a part of in years that happened as we expected it to." She's still glowing, but not watching Loki as intently, and the note of irony in her voice is almost lost in the hint of excitement that comes out at the same time. Doing something is a damn sight better than not doing a thing, even if it probably frivolous.
