Chapter 14 - Afternoon Tea Part 1

The droids finally were able to pry the two from each other and restrain them I then said, " Okay everyone let's please calm down okay we are all friends here right" I heard some frustrated mumbling from both Vis and Merlin which resulted in me and Morgana to glare at Vis and Merlin causing them to back down.

"Okay now that's settled we should go up to the viewing deck to start our fancy schmancy tea party cause I am feeling a little british today" and in a flash of light we were transported to the viewing deck I normally don't use this function cause I like to walk around the ship it makes me still feel like I have a bit of humanity left in me

We came into the viewing deck and saw the tea table with a huge centerpiece being a wedding style cake surrounded by smaller cakes and sliver tea pots of Oolong, Earl Grey, Chamomile, Jasmine and various other types of tea there were also sliver platters of two-bite parmesan biscuits, buttermilk crumpets, strawberry ricotta tartlets, mini brie sandwiches with quick balsamic leek jam, mushroom pomponnettes,mini chocolate hazelnut cheesecakes, cucumber rye tea sandwiches, chocolate ganache sandwich cookies, curried egg tea sandwiches and double lemon scones with the beautiful backdrop of the stunning view of the developing city

"Awww sugar you didn't have to do all this for us and think this spread doesn't qualify for afternoon and looks more like a lavish feast hosted by Marie Antoinette" Morgan's words broke me out of my awe, "Actually I was going for the small tea party vibe instead of the present vibe I think Vis wanted to organise a party I mean he has only a very limited amount of parties to throw" I actually felt glad that I summoned Merlin and Morgana earlier than planned cause if not Vis's obsessive desire to plan flamboyant parties would have resulted in Christmas parties filled with so much food that it would have made me to become morbidly obese but now that they are here he can throw smaller parties thereby giving him and outlet

Vis replied indignity saying, "Hey! I would not have done this if you would have let me make the food" I replied mockingly saying, "No way Bub cause if it were up to you you'd fed me until I turned so fat that I would have to be rolled around in a shardrikium wheelchair" he replied saying, "Nah ah" I gave a meaningful stare at him and said whole pointing at the table, "That table alone contains 30 kg of sugar, 10 litters of champagne, 3 litters of pure distilled ethanol, 5 kg of dairy and don't forget the 15 pints of blue Berry ice-cream you have on stand by just incase" he was surprised and said, "ho... how di.. did you know about that" I sat down and poured myself a cup of Jasmine tea and took a sip of it and replied saying, "Oh please as if I don't know your habits, anyway let's move away from my friends eccentric habits pertaining to food so come sit down everyone"

After that everyone sat down and everyone started to eat and some people enjoyed somethings more than the others like Morgana developed quite a hankering for champagne and Earl Grey, Merlin started stuffing his face with anything that contained chocolate and surprisingly the cyborg duo did not eat as much as I thought they eat some sandwiches and drank some ethanol and Chamomile tea but then they started to eat pint after pint of ice cream so not that surprised there was even a small argument which was put down with extreme prejudice by me and Morgana the argument occurred when Merlin tried to taste the ice-cream but Vis did not feel like sharing so started to cause a ruckus

While the festivities continued I addressed Merlin and Morgana saying, "So Merlin how did you two end up together" Merlin said, "Oh well I guess it start like any good story with a prophecy" I asked, "How so" he replied saying, "Well you see it starts with Uther father of king Auther he ruled most of Europe either by using puppet states or actually being the king of that land by conquering it or marrying the pendragon family into it anyway the only place he knew that he had no influence over was the land of the Fey,which was called Avalon it was a land of very powerful magical beings it also had very fertile lands and was full of valuable materials" when I heard this I was able to connect the dots and said, "WAIT!!! so does that mean 6

you are a Fey Morgan" when I said this Morgana spoke up and said, "Actually you are half true I am a human-fey hybrid for you see King Uther's Kingdom was hit with a global famine but Avalon was not effected cause it was in it's own dimension created by the first Fey my great,great, great,great,great,great,great and twenty or some greats grandmother Alxandria Le Fey" and then I said, "woah! that is so cool so what happened and do you know a way to create a dimension" Merlin replied saying, "Yes we do know of the ritual that has to be done but it would need a huge amount of power if you were on Earth the ritual would have to continue for about 100 years but here it would only take about a year due to the lack of supernatural beings conjured up by the collective will of a population, and with a bit of additional power maybe with a bit of shard energy we could cut down the time to about a month" I was a little surprised with the conclusion I reached and drank a small glass of champagne to calm myself cause if it was true and there was no way to stop it would pose a severe risk to the Empire so I asked for confirmation from Merlin, "So the collective will of an amount of people can cause supernatural manifestations is there a way to stop this manifestations"

Morgana gave me an explanation that put my worries to rest, "Actually that is a good question and that same question had astounded many mystics throughout the ages but the answer was found by some mortal wizards working for the german government in WW1 for you see a the Germans couldn't cross through a Belgium forest which was full of immortal creatures conjured up by folklore they had to go through the forest if not they would have had wasted a lot of resources and time so they were stuck in between a hard place an a rock until somehow the wizards in the German army was capable of making a runic cluster that cut off the power of the monsters thus making them mortal this was done by incorporating some of the newfound scientific concepts and they were able to cross after the war the rune cluster was handed off to the victors and the cluster was expanded upon and cluster was made that could engulf the enterity of the world thereby making all the manifestations mortal all were then hunted down by an internationally selected committee but this also had the sideffect of enabling powerful metaphysical beings such as some of the lovecraftain gods, demons and angels from Christian mythology, titans from greek myths and the asgardian monstors from ragnarok to interfere in the physical plane this caused the birth of Hitler and the production of lovecraft's stories but this was fixed with some old wards that were fitted into the sanctums, which are like power nodes that control and dictate the mechanisms of the 'World Wards' they are each situated in major cities but unlike the sanctums the World Wards run throughout every surface of the world, this ensured that these terrible things would not happen with outside interference"

"Oh that is a relief so you do know how to create the needed cluster right" this question made the face of Merlin turn a shade of anger and Merlin replied in an angry and sarcastic tone saying, "Yes we do know how to create the most widely known runic cluster in the world" Morgan chided in saying, "Oh calm down Mer he was not trying to insinuate anything and was just asking a genuine question and to answer your question sugar yes we do know the way to install a copy of the World Wards on Krypton Prime but it may take sometime cause we would have to map out the planet's ley lines and map out the nexus to install rune towers in then the sanctums can be established once a sizeable population is present"
