Lady Insanity
I live for the chaos, yet I'd die for peace.
Vince and Chloe's dad had tried to warn her. Saying she would need to train along side of her brother, that she was also going to be a fighter one of these days. Turns out, Chloe should have listened. But nobody could blame her for just wanting to be normal, could they? Not like Chloe was having a total meltdown or anything now. Just...she couldn't believe this was all really happening. Vince, on the other hand was really perplexed. These three people seemed so able, and he himself was more than ready. His sister? Well, aside from a few archery lessons a while back she wasn't much for combat. This had ought to be an interesting experience...maybe a lot of training in a crash course is going to be a thing. Today wasn't what Vince expected but definitely not something he NEVER expected in his lifetime to occur. A couple of twists and turns, but all in all it was memorable. He'd trained for so long and now he's being thrown directly into the heat of things in the recruitment stage. What's to come next? Force wake up Ascelin? Is that the plan? What else can they do if Dumanax is really back? This is gonna put a damper on things... Both related and not related to Knighthood matters.
Inside the farmhouse, Peter separated himself from everyone for a moment and proceeded upstairs to the second floor. Vince and Chloe glanced around for a second as they followed Alexander, noting how the interior of the house matched the exterior. A normal, simple home. A bit large, but usually a farmhouse is pretty good in size. It was big enough to house several people! But it also looked homey and comfortable on the inside. Lived in. A nice place to live if you're going for a cozy life.
But that's the part they're all used to. Save for the Wells siblings. What they were going to see next? Different.
Alexander led the five would-be Knights to a door that led downstairs. "Braxton, Mellany, Raijah, I know you guys haven't been permitted down here yet. But now you'll see why. Welcome to out backup plan." He opened the door and took them down the flight of stairs, this time going in the door on the left instead of the right. This door didn't go to a mirror. Oh no. On this door at the bottom of the stairs was the symbol/crest of the Divine Order. As Alexander opened it for the reveal, he exposed a large room underneath the house. A 'basement' to end all basements. Underneath the farmhouse was a...secret command center? Talk about Plan B... Within this large room was a makeshift mainframe computer, a display rack/armory of a vast assortment of weaponry, banners of each class and heraldry hanging, a small library, and a center table to tie it all together. It's like something out of a superhero TV show!
"This is our backup plan. With the mirror in the crossroads being tarnished, I can only assume Dumanax' early arrival means he's taken Faye Castle. So in case of emergency, Peter and I developed this place under the house. We didn't wanna show it until it was done." Alexander said and presented the large room to everyone. Vince and Chloe were absolutely taken back.
"Whoa..." Chloe whispered.
"This is incredible.... An underground lair, fully stocked and totally functional. You've thought of everything haven't you?" Vince asked Alexander. The guardian smiled and nodded.
"In my time as guardian and historian, I've also taken a few liberties with modern technology," he stated and gestured toward the door as Peter returned to the group with a box in hand. It was locked and looked rather..important.
Vince gazed at the armory racks and forge. Some of this equipment looked...ancient. And some brand new! If not a bit different... Chloe stared at the computer system. For such a proud and ancient order of Knights, this sure looks pretty high tech.
Peter placed the box on the center table and stood at his dads side. "Everyone, please gather around the table," Alexander said to all. Vince nodded and took himself from the weaponry and a suit of armor on display, standing on the opposite side of Alexander, Chloe at his side. Leaving room for one person on her side, and two on Vince's other side before all spaces were taken.
(lowkey just saying they can stand in team order xD)
