The Cavern (guardian and LunarWolf)

Tatiana didn't say anything, just took to wrapping her arms around his neck so that she didn't feel like she was going to fall at some point in time. Not that Greg would drop her, but it was more out of habit if anything. It didn't take them long to get the medical wing and the doctor was looking over towards the pair. "Welcome General, Princess. What brings you two here?" the man questioned.
 
"the princess was punched in the stomach and I wanted to make sure that she was ok before I go and report this to her father" Greg then set her down lightly on one of the beds and moved away so the doctor could look her over and be sure that she was indeed ok
 
The doctor was giving a nod before he was closing the privacy curtain so that he could do an examination, make sure that she was alright. "You may have some bruising but other than that, nothing serious." the man spoke after a little bit and was helping the female get her dress back on.
 
Greg nodded his head from the other side of the curtain and then waited for the doctor to finish helping her and opening it once again. while he knew it had delayed what she wanted to do it also eased his mind and knew it would the kings as well
 
"Nothing serious. Bruises may form, or they may not." the doctor spoke after a moment in time after he was opening the privacy curtain. Tatiana wasn just looking at the ground for a brief moment in time before she was actually getting off the bed and walking over to one of the other beds and going down on hands and knees. "Come on out." the female cooed after a moment in time. It took a little bit but soon enough a small black kitten was coming out from beneath the bed, having been hidden by the shadows since that particular bed was in a darker section of the medical wing. And it was there for a purpose, that was more so for people that were sensitive to the light. There were actually four beds like that in the medical wing, in darker areas not like that really hindered the doctor at all.
 
Greg chuckled and then looked at the kitten and raised an eye brown how she had seen the thing was beyond him but he figured if she had then it was a good thing since the little ball of fluff looked terrified and in a need of a good meal
 
"Lady Tatiana, please get up off of the floor." the doctor spoke after a moment in time, it most definitely wasn't the cleanest whatsoever, and it was improper for a young lady to be doing as she was. But that didn't seem to stop her at all, nope she was gathering the small kitten in her arms before she was getting to her feet.
 
Greg chuckled a little bit and then looked at the doctor "do you really think she cares about that doctor something caught her attention she had to investigate"this was a habit of her that they all knew rather when and seeing as she now held a kitten he had a feeling she had seen it from where she was sitting ok she had seen it move and decided to investigate.
 
The doctor was giving a faint chuckle before he spoke, "Yes yes, I have become use to the antics of the young princess." With that he was actually going over and taking the kitten from the female so that he could examine it, to see how it was. Starving that much he could tell but there didn't seem to be any injuries externally, and from his brief prodding he didn't seem to find any internal injuries either. "This kitten seems healthy. Get it fed and keep an eye on it for a few days before returning her to me." the doctor spoke and was handing the kitten back to Tatiana. The moment that the kitten seemed to be in Tatiana's hands, loud purring could be heard from the tiny creature. Impressive for such a small thing.
 
Greg chuckled and then looked at her "lets go get your herbs so we can get you back to your tower" Greg then looked over when a couple of guards arrived and moved nervously where they stood. walking over to them Greg spoke softly. hearing that a rebellion was taking place had a him a little annoyed but not overly concerned, until he felt the ground shake. even as a human he could feel the power radiating through the ground and wondered where it was coming from
 
Tatiana had been just holding the kitten when she felt the ground shake which had her just looking towards the window for a moment in time. "Seems once again they are acting up." she mused. This wasn't the first time that this had happened and she doubted that it would be the last. Which meant that it was only a matter of time before her father went down below to put an end to it. Well with Tatiana's help, with the young woman up in the safety of her tower. As usual. "No the herbs can be collected later." was all she said before she was drifting out of the room, just as Aaron seemed to come out of nowhere. "Yes father I felt it. I shall be in my tower. Inform me when you need my assistance." Tatiana spoke after a moment in time. Although she found it a bit odd that Aaron was ordering Greg to stay with her, typically the king wanted the man to come with him.
 
Greg looked at him "are you certain majesty these two here a dead loyal and could easily guard your daughter" Greg wasn't arguing to argue he just didn't think it would be a good idea for the king to go below alone.

Jen was standing below ground holding back the power of an earthquake while dealing with her own anger. while she was ready to start a rebellion she knew if the ground shook that cave would fall inland she was holding it steady till everyone was clear of the tunnels that would cave in since she knew that they would only have a little bit of time before things would get out of control once she did let the power slowly building go
 
Aaron looked for a moment before he was giving a nod then spoke, "Yes you two remain with Tatiana. Tatiana. Activate your spells." This had the female giving a nod before she was speaking something softly under her breath. A mark seemed to appear above her head for a brief moment before vanishing. Down in the caves runes that lined the walls would all of a sudden light up which would prevent any cave-ins whatsoever. A safety mechanism in which Aaron had decided to put in, anticipating that there would be a rebellion at some point in time. "Cancel out all abilities down there." Aaron ordered which had Tatiana giving a small nod. The kitten was giving a soft meow and rubbing her head against the young woman's face, just as Tatiana's eyes were changing to their golden color as her ability of power negation kicked in. She focused strictly on the caves down below, and in more specific the crystals that were hidden away by her father which would amplify that ability.
 
Jan felt the ruins kick in and she had begun to slowly release the energy she had been stopping but when the negation kicked in and her powers were cut in half she wasn't able to hold it and all of was released at once and both and caves and the top side area would feel the quake as it hit. Jan landed hard when she fell scraping up her knees and hands in the process.
 
"Tatiana. Keep that negation held as long as you can. I'll be going down and rounding up everybody. Once again I will be having a firm talk to them about using magic as they have been." Aaron spoke and the young woman was giving a nod. Soon enough she was stating that she wished to return to her rooms, and the two guards were following after the young woman.

In the tunnels a number of the people were wondering what on earth had just happened, and were wondering about the strange runes. "Since when did the king have such a strong magic user? I've seen his magicians and their magic levels are weak. But this is different this is very advanced magic." a few people were speaking as they just examined the stuff.
 
a couple of people looked at each other they knew that Jen was an elf and they became worried when the quake hit "has anyone seen Jen we haven't seen her since the tunnels were evacuated." the two wanted to go search for her but the guards refused to allow them to leave the tunnels
 
"If the stupid elf is still in the tunnels that is her own fault. When we tell you to evacuate that means haul ass, and do as you are told." one of the guards spoke in a harsh voice. Although it wasn't long before Aaron himself was drifting down into the tunnels, and it seemed like Tatiana had decided that she was going to come with as well. Although instead of hiding behind her fan this time, she took to hiding behind a face veil, which was attached to the hat that she wore to go along with the gown that she had on. A few of the guards took to hovering near the pair of them at the time, although it was more so Tatiana that their focus was on, she was the one their lord had ordered them to protect should they get attacked. "All of you will be reporting to the ballroom. Immediately. I warned you what would happen if any of you used magic." Aaron spoke in a dark voice as he looked at them all. He glanced back towards his other mage that had come with before he spoke, "Activate the slave marks." This had Tatiana cringing briefly as she looked away as the elder mage spoke under his breath and firey red marks seemed to form on the necks of all of those within the tunnel. Well that worked in the tunnels that was. Everybody was branded with one, although it was rare that they were actually activated. But when they were, commands couldn't be ignored whatsoever.
 
one of the girls looked at them and then spoke "our friend is missing she was helping people evacuate the tunnels but we haven't seen her since and we are both a little worried she is like a sister to us" while they had been talking to the king Greg had wandered off in to one of the tunnels and found her aside form the skinned up hands and a blow to her head she seemed to be in in fairly decent shape. Greg recognized her from earlier in the day when she was up with the dancers. Greg then scooped Jen up and headed back to the king
 
Soon enough Greg seemed to return with the elf which had the mage speaking, "Sire, that elf is the one using magic." This had Aaron looking over before he spoke in a sharp voice, "All of you are to head to the ballroom. Now." The marks glowed a dark red and they were all heading off, regardless of if they wanted to or not. Tatiana could only watch before she was looking towards her father after they had all left the tunnels. It was safe enough to deactivate the runes now that everybody was out safely. "Some of the tunnels will collapse." Tatiana spoke in a soft voice which had Aaron shrugging then spoke, "Then the slaves can dig the tunnels out again. That is their job after all." This had the young woman nodding before she spoke softly and the runes were deactivating.
 
Greg looked at the mage "you don't know what for don't assume just because she is using it that it wasn't for a good reason" Greg knew just like with Tatiana and her magic. Greg then walked with the king and princess so that they could get to the ballroom.
 
The mage looked over for a moment then spoke, "I wasn't asking yourself. And it doesn't matter what it was for. Magic is not allowed within the tunnels, unless you are a registered mage. This female has not come forward to the king about her magic, therefore is using magic illegally in a sense." Although it wasn't long before the male was finding himself distracting and fussing a bit over Tatiana when she just stopped walking to lean against the wall. The constant use of her power negation was finally beginning to take its toll on her, especially since it was a specific group that was being targeted. Although she was quickly righting herself and hurrying into the ballroom so that she could stand up next to Aaron, who was glaring at everybody in the room. "I want all magic users to step forward. Now! As you already know, the use of magic is forbidden unless you have already come to me and more or less gotten yourself registered as a magic user. If you have then present the pendant that you were given." Aaron ordered after a moment in time. And sucky for them, the pendants couldn't be given to other people at all. It was more or less "registered" to one specific person. It was almost as if it were alive and knew who it belonged to.
 
no one stepped forward as no one but Jen was a magic user, one person an elder did step forward "the magic you felt today was done by someone who was trying to protect us all she never uses her powers unless she has to and when she felt the quake coming she told us all to get out of the tunnels and that she would hold them till we were all safe" the elder wouldn't tell him who it was as she was protecting her from eh kings wrath
 
Aaron just looked for a moment in time before he spoke, "I really hate secrets. And since nobody wants to tell me who this magic user is, then you will all be punished for it. I do not care if she was trying to protect you, I made it very clear that if somebody had magic that I wanted them to come forward and tell me." Although he found himself actually being silenced by Tatiana as she drifted forward. "The reason behind the king wishing to know if one is a magic user is because there is a rare type of gem somewhere that reacts negatively to magic. If one with magic gets to close to it, it begins to absorb the magic and.... bad things happen from there." Tatiana spoke, her voice soft and musical. She did give a soft smile at her kitten as it popped its head out from behind her hair before she was taking to sinking down in a chair once again.
 
the elder female nodded her head "that is understandable princess but the person I speak of is alone in the world there are none like her left alive so she fears for her life and safety but if you wish we can warn her about it so she understands and takes great care" the elder looked over at Jen with out making it obvious and became more worried about the girl as she was pale and it made her wonder if she would be ok when she woke up
 
Tatiana was slightly pale herself. How had this female known that she was the princess? For all she knew, Tatiana could have just been any one of the noble ladies that was in the palace at the time. She could have just been a current fling of the king as well, there were so many options. The fact that the woman knew who she was.... was almost terrifying. Tatiana just shook her head for a moment in time before she looked towards Aaron before he spoke in a sharp voice, "Regardless. Attempting to hide the truth results in punishment." It was honestly hard to believe that Aaron and Tatiana were related. He was a pure demon from hell, while she was an angel illuminated in heaven's light.
