Derek finds himself standing in a darkness not unlike the blackness depicted on the card. He finds it surprisingly cool until he realizes his shirt has been torn away. Lorelei probably has a souvenir from their travels together. There is a faint smell of woodsmoke. Far in the distance is a spot of wavering orange and yellow light.

The Logrus shows him nothing but a speck of light in the distance. As he approaches the flame grows larger, eventually becoming a cozy fireplace with no chimney or wall attached to it. Tall silver candelabras appear out for the dark their light adding to the tableau but illuminating only the depthless black. The smell of smoke is stronger here and the sounds of crackle and pop of the burning wood randomly adds sound to the scene.

#s://i~ibb~co/5TGr3y5/jurt~png Through the sign of the Logrus, the fire appears to be a fire. More details emerge from the darkness as he approaches the fire. A large globe on a wooden stand, portions of a wall appear with a few paintings of hunting scenes tastefully hung, some plush leather chairs, a desk, and a man. Merlin. "Hello, cousin. So glad you could join me."He looks to have aged a century since Derek last saw him at the funeral of King Swayvill. Greying hair and crow's feet about his eyes. |

"It appears the years have been unkind cousin mine." I charitably state.
*Flash the Logrus up and out like a bubble and let it dissipate into the horizon to show my irritation with Mandor*
"I have Trumps, and I have a Trump of You. You and my dear mother taught me how to apply the magic to them. You guided my hand on many occasion in fact."
*Holds up Trump*
"How easy would it have been to contact me thus?"
*looks down and around and through Mandor*
"Have we family business, will you finally relate to me who my father may have been? Is it some insestious issue that would bring shame on Oberons name and thus could not be talked about?"
*stares markedly*
"Or is it a thing that would bring shame on the sorcerer Mandor?"
*sits roughly in a created chair from the stuffs in the immediate vicinity with the Logrus*
"I am truly sorry cousin mine, apparently I had some emotions left unchecked, but family should be supportive, no?"
*charismatic winning smile*
"How may I serve the house of Hendrake cousin mine?"

OOC: No. I want Merlin to convince me he is Merlin. I want him to think I'm a bit off and that I am relating things to him in a way I would to Mandor, were it Mandor. Derrick is angry and wants to express it, but could not address the King of Chaos in this fashion. Let's roll with it and see how it goes. It could be interesting or I could be a bloody puddle of gore. That was my intent anyway. You can erase this post if you choose.

"We have things to discuss, but first, tell me of this suspicion you have of Mandor not being your father." |

*looks up at Merlin realizing it isn't Mandor*
*shakes head*
"Mandors' past is a dark and murky place, The Lady Fiona will not confirm who my father may or may not be. I believe someone must know or I would not be on the list for assumption of the throne at some point. I have no idea where I am on that list save Suhuy told me I was near my traversing the Logrus."
* dipslays hands in a gesture of futility*
"It would make it far easier if I knew it was a storm giant from hinter Chaos regions, or some other minor noble or even Dworkin himself"
*sighs*
I just want to serve my kingdoms with distinction your highness, as Quillian told me and I agree, that with our great power comes great responsibility"
*looks past the fire at Merlin, seeking answers to this and many other questions with his eyes*

#s://i~ibb~co/5TGr3y5/jurt~png "Whoever it is, he must have been important enough for Suhuy to fast-track you into traversing the Logrus. Mandor is a reticent fellow; he may not wish to reveal evidence of his former passions. Or even his continuing passion. I can speak with him about this if you wish.""Which kingdoms are those, and how far does your responsibility reach?" |

*looks at Merlin in his eyes, measuring the man who is his ruler*
"I am of the Courts and I am of Amber. Fiona is my mother, but she is tricksy at the very least. Some opine that she is much much more than this."
*sits on the ground*
"We all deal with strife and arduous situations in our lives. I was bitter with my mother for a long time, but my upbringing was good. I made friends with many and although I have some enemies as do we all, I grew up well."
*looks pensive*
"Aunt Haelga was a good choice and although I do miss home, I am enjoying my time under the Unicorn as well."
"The Unicorn and the Serpent are in balance with me I feel, but I want to be trustworthy and loyal to those whom I have sworn fealty..."
*looks up sharpy*
"fast tracked in what way? I was given no indication of this....."
*waves it off*
"My responsibility reaches as far as I can keep those for whom I love safe and my sword-arm strong for my liege."
*politely waits for a response*

#s://i~ibb~co/5TGr3y5/jurt~png "Not even I was trained in such power at such a young age. Even with all those strings being pulled by my mother...""Did you swear fealty to Amber while you were there? Such an action may have put you in a difficult situation. Tensions are rising once again between Amber and the Courts. Which side would you be on were relations deteriorate any further? If we had to go to war once again?" |

I did not swear fealty to Amber but I did tell Florimel I would help in any way I could.
If I was fast tracked, then to what puropose. Would not Suhuy have informed me of such a thing or given me some inkling as to the direction he wished to see?
I would side with Chaos and you my King, and then wage war as you see fit. I cannot give up on my family and Aunt Haelga and especially Qullian whom I have not seen in ages!
