N nods. "Right. Let's find a better spot." He keeps his head low as he moves away from the bushes. He moves closer to the lake itself seeking refuge behind other bushes. Thus spot gives you a clear view of the crystal clear lake. "Not a bad view."

N nods. "Well, some wars throughout history have been about love. These ones are looking for power and glory. Cyrus has everything they want."

N nods. "Indeed." Charon pulls away from the group. "I need to return. Good day." Charon leaves. The women exchange glances. "....I never slept with Cyrus," Mars said. "I wish I had though."

Jupiter frowns. "The rule didn't apply to you though, did it? You could bed anyone and he would never say anything. Unless... Did you sleep with him?" Charon raises his eyebrows. "Now that would be a twist." N sighs. "I don't know to make of this."

"Dawn is just a child. Barely a teenager." Charon shrugs. 'And she's still part of his bloodline. We take them down, and we take over the company. Take all the wealth." Jupiter nods. "Yeah. It's a good plan. For far too long we had to work under him, slaving away for minimum wage. Saturn was fired for his love for me," she says with a glare. " Mars shakes her head. "You knew what the rules were - no sharing a bed with another grunt."

N places a hand on your arm. "I get that you are mad, but we can't fight them just yet. Not until we know more." He gestures ahead, peering through the bushes. ""And what about Dawn and Johanna?" "Get rid of them too."

Mars frowns. "You think it's possible to kill him so easily?" "You are witches. Poison. Wolfsbane. You know how to combine your spells with poison," Charon says. Jupiter nods. "Right. Kill Cyrus. Take the Red Chain. Then bring it to Sabrina, right?"

N nods. "Right. But I think we should wait until the sun goes down. Easier for us and we'll be better protected." They continue to talk. "You're going to blow up the city?" Charon nods. "Yes. Colress has made the necessary preparations and Cyrus is clueless as usual. Poor fool. Intelligent, but also highly gullible. Anything to avoid the moonlight curse, yes? Now he'll have his wish - permanently."

N's eyebrows raise. "....That is a lot to take in. Let us hope the same events do not occur here." You creep closer, just close enough to hear parts of conversation. "...The Red Chain is closer to being ready," Charon says. "...What happens after that? What about Cyrus?" Mars says. "He dies of course. He will no longer be needed. Wolfsbane bombs."

You hide behind some bushes and edge closer. "What did Charon do that was so bad?" N says in a low voice.

N squints. "Seems like a short fat guy in a lab coat." Probably Charon. "We should find a place to hide and hope they don't have a way of detecting us." He heads over to some bushes.

You continue to make your way towards the lake. Up ahead, you can see two females - one with purple hair and the other with red. They are in discussion with an old man. 'Seems like we have trouble ahead."

He nods. "Right." You leave the farming town stepping out into the harsh sunlight and plains. The Lake isn't too far - in fact, you can catch the scent of water. "Are you worried about what we will find?"

N nods. "Let's just hope it doesn't come down to that." You leave the town. "So. The Lake, right?"

N raises an eyebrow. "Huh. Interesting. I don't know why I would do something like that if this man is as dangerous as he sounds to be. Perhaps it was Ghetsis all along reaching out beyond whatever place he was in."
