"House Lorcas will object to a marriage. Behind together is a different matter. And Dirk will do his own thing anyway."
"And alliance to House Sawall is a benefit to any House, House Sawall is the House of the King of Chaos. "

Dio smiles to Despil and Maeve "Who knows Fate is by your side in this one."
She winks.
"As for Dirk. Yes i know he does his own thing but i would hate for him to lose family... I think eventho the risk, i want to find out of my heritage. Maybe his House wouldn't oppose our relationship then."

"Which leads us back to the question how much risk you want to take Dio. Checking the office of heraldry might cause less attention but it will not go unnoticed either. And you might have to change your appearance."
"The same goes for returning to Lord Suhuy and I asking to speak with him."

Dio thinks for a moment. She looks at all present.
A determined look on her face.
"I am done running for unknown reasons. If knowing causes me to have to run faster or more, i rather do that.
And i can shapechange, even if Lord Suhuy might be able to see through that.
But that is a problem for later."

#s://i~ibb~co/HtyfnC2/despil~png "It is a risk for you and your allies. But maybe learning who you are will stop the others from hunting you. You might be so important that no one would risk hurting you!" Despil says. "Let's be a little more level-headed, brother, Mandor replies. "It is likely those hunting Dio already know who she's related to, and it has not deterred them. You are correct that those assisting her will be taking a risk in the doing and a risk in the revelation. As you say, who knows what could be revealed? Could Dio destroy Merlin's right to rule? Would you risk that Despil? Maeve? Or could it damage Sawall? What if it upset the stability of the Courts of Chaos?"

Dio listens to both their arguments.
Dio then sits down with a sigh.
She shakes her head
"Although i doubt i am of such importance to damage those things you mentioned Lord Mandor. I do see the point that it would be dangerous to look into it. And that it might harm those i care for or those who help me."
Dio looks with a saddened smile to Maeve.
"Perhaps this is for the best."

"We let it rest but we have to find a way to stop the people hunting her." Maeve says. "Dio can not hide for the rest of her life, she can not run for the rest of her life."
"We have to figure who is hunting her and for which reasons."

Dio looks at Meave and nods
"If we find out why they hunt me, might already be a step up on what we know now. Which is nothing.
Well, i suspect i know why those of Mathgamina are hunting me. They had me in their hands. Experimented and pulled me apart put me back together.
I am a project to them. So that seems a good reason.
Why the nuns want me back so badly and other groups. I do not know.
Before i came here, i was transported to Caïro, it seemed like the place where we gathered to go after Vada.
I was stuck in a ritual.circle. a woman held me there she gave me no answers and i will admit i was ready to end myself then and there. Tired of running and being a ritual component. There were so many voices chanting.
My pet snake sacrificed itself to free me. Broke the circle and i was able to run.
The city of Caïro was attacked by some abomination. I could.get no clear answers around them some said a monster, a demon, an abstract entity. So i didn't stay there long. I used the Logrus to transport me to Lord Suhuy's place."
Dio thinks
"Guess that group who were in Caïro were there just to use me in a ritualistic manner. Though to what end?"

"Vada, her follower took off with a chest. Her attack on the City leaded to Prince Gerard's death.
Maeve thinks a moment. "These event are important for the Courts and Amber.
"Let us start there or better how you came to Cairo. Can you recount how you left the convent."

Dio crosses her legs as she sits on the chair in a sort of lotus sit. She straightens her back and closes her eyes.
Carefully she recalls the first moments she was in touch with those of the Hidden One.
"I was living still in the convent even after my training with Lord Suhuy, my moments of sleep were very few. And the moments i did sleep i dreamed of many strange things. Even Kolvir, Amber i dreamed of. Sttange machines, hordes of demons. Things i have never seen in my life.
In one of these nights i was asked if i was willing to kill. And i said yes. Thinking this was finally the moment i was collected from the convent by my parents.
They pulled me via the dream towards them. Though Mother Superior troed to stop me. But i was stronger with my Logrus.
They pulled me towards the outskirts of Caïro. They had food and a story of the Hidden one. That he had made me whole. That i was there to help them stop a thread to the Courts of Chaos and thir people. That i was a chosen one. That my long-delayed destiny can be fullfilled."
Dio inhales deep almost in a meditating state of mind she digs tells further of her past.
"They said i was their friend and they had long hoped i would return to them. They had a thing with the number seven. That it was gleamed from the tarot, so we would travel with seven.
The mission to kill Vada and her followers and any scum of Amber that would bar our path. "
Dio opens her eyes and smiles wirh a slight blush
"It's what he said. Not my thoughts.
And then we moved on. We didn't stay with seven long. All of then died during fights on the mountain side or at tge mountaintop. There i fought with Sir Hammett, Brian, Lorelei and Dalt. All sisters who went after me died as well, except.sister of enforced repentance. She fled.
Is that what you were looking for?"

Maeve nods. "So the Hidden One was most likely after what Vada had, the same thing that Hammett, Brain Lorelei and Dalt wanted."
She turns to Mandor. "I met someone recently that claimed that the Hidden One plans to murder Merlin and take the Throne of Chaos."
She ponder a moment. "I imagine there a many plot and plans going on against Merlin but someone whose plan reaches so far into the territory of Amber's side? And into the realm of the shroudlings?"
"Could you see the follower of Vada who was able to leave with the chest."

Dio shakes her head
"No, i didn't see who took it.
It was a mess. I was standing over someone's body protecting them. Brian i think.
Lorelei was fighting off the nuns. She decapitated mother Superior.
Sir Hammett i couldn't see it was foggy. I know i had saved Dalt from the ledge after he was flung over the side.
Someone was there who dissolved in purple flames... smoke. Difficult to recall.
Oh oh.. and there were two people watching, on a ledge. A bright light surrounding them. They didn't join in on the fight. I spoke to one of then briefly he didn't reveal his identity and i had to return to the battle. But during a party in Amber Castle i did see Rinaldo and he seemed to look like the man on the ledge. Can't be 100% sure though. Battle, bright lights."
She looks between all present "I know it's a mess of a story but if Maeve is right and the Hidden One followers want Merlin of the throne it is indeed a big thing for the Courts of Chaos. "

Maeve looks at Despil and Mandor if they have some input to give.
