CHAPTER 20
In the wee hours of the predawn morning it began. Knights of the table round, leading small groups of volunteers started to get the message out! The WITCH QUEEN CHEATED in her trials.
Dame Splatterpalette, accompanied by a throng of bandanna clad past and present student volunteers, painted the message in all over town as big as they could. In ways that would surely get peoples attention and greatly embarrass the Witch Queen.
Sir Lazarus, Sir Malfoy and Sir Griffin, all highly respected young men from fine wizarding families were tasked with waking up people of power and position to put the evidence in their hands personally. A job that required tact, explanation and diplomacy.
The news was not always taken as hoped. Some, loyal to a corrupt crown sent off warnings. Owls carrying messages to the royal court were brought down by stun spells by the dead eye of the Colonel.
"STUPIFY!" Sir Keaton cast holding his wand steady across his fore arm, striking an owl, rendering it limp and unable to fly. "ARRESTO MOMENTUM!" He would cast catching the bird before it hit the ground.
"Not your fault, brave little soldier, that your master is a traitor to his people!" The Colonel said taking the note and destroying it.
Though despite his best efforts, not all witches and wizards used owls. As such, a lonely large raven in the night made its way to the Royal castle with news in its black talons. There was much debate amongst the guard not as to whether the Witch Queen should be awakened by the news, but who would be the unfortunate soul to do the deed.
The scream could be heard clearly outside the palace walls brining bright smiles to the faces of Dame Hannah and Dame Phenix.
"This means it's show time." The gigantic Sir Borwhen said drawing his wand.
The sounds of alarms echoed in the guard towers. Dame Hanna, her blue hair a tell tale sign from birth of her hidden ability leapt forward into the air. A skilled Animagus she transformed into a gigantic Occamy and wrapped herself around the guard tower. Her blue feathered coils blocking all attempts at escape. Any guard trying to cast spells from the thin windows were met with a sharp snapping Occamy beak.
Dame Phenix, burst into flame and arose a brilliant bird of mythical fire! The phoenix Animagus drew a torrent of flame around the second guard tower trapping all inside.
Those brave enough to attempt to rush the flame or crawl past the scales of the beast were met with the mighty blow of a spell from Sir Borwhen.
The guards on duty, scattered through out the city were the ones to be most worried about. A team of specialists in booby traps, deterrent tactics and enemy directional assistance.
Lyra Lee-Ashwolf, who refused to take a title as she saw herself more as a mercenary than a knight, lead a small team of merry pranksters and noted pains in the behind to lay traps for the guards throughout Avalon city. Supplied by Dame Zonko and their family with tweaks from Sir Stoffer and a slew of volunteers from the second and third year advanced technomancer class.
Royal guards throughout the city suddenly found themselves fighting off swarms of destructive pixies. Giant marauding dragons creating havoc. Tornadoes that hunted guards down like the rats they were.
Those royal guards unlucky enough to come across a team delivering papers were met with giant stink bombs, fanged Frisbees, bowling bunnies, nose biting gnomes and worst of all clouds of exploding pop gnats. All would tie up royal guards long enough to allow the knights and there charges to escape.
Sasporilla sat high above the city on her broom watching events unfold as she conducted her elves movements, keeping them safe and unseen from magi eyes.
As dawn broke over the distant Horizon Sasporilla landed amongst the knights of the table round who gathered by the University Library.
"Good job Everyone!" Lyra smiled. "Soon, If not all ready, Avalon will be awakening to the news. The truth will hopefully bring change this morning!"
"What do you hope will happen Lyra?" Sasporilla asked.
"That the people will demand the Queen abdicate." Angelo smiled.
"Then there will have to be a new Witch Queen trial." Dame Splatterpalette smiled.
"One that we will demand is done by the charter!" Dame Phenix said with a nod. "Open to ALL witches of Noble blood or not!"
"Sounds fair." Sasporilla said. "But would it not be better to just get rid of the monarchy all together? Put in a more democratic system by the people for the people?"
The knights stood dumbfounded.
"I often forget the my best friend, little Sasporilla Bucket," Lyra Lee-Ashwolf smiled, "Grew up to be the wisest Queen in all the land."
"Stop it Lyra." Sassy blushed.
"Not to mention the widest butt." Lyra laughed looking behind her friend. "My goodness Sasporilla put down the butterbeer once in a while."
"Shut it!" Sassy guffawed looking round behind Lyra. "Honestly you're one to talk! You who bent over to close to the University marching band and they mistook you for the bass drum!"
"I tried my best to go boom boom boom, Lyra laughed, "but some people just ain’t bloody satisfied!"
"You two must be fun at the Ladies church Bazzare fundraiser pancake brunch!" Dame Splatterpalette laughed.
"Why?" Sasporilla asked seriously. "What have you heard?"
Lyra burst into uproarious laughter. "Stop it! No one can prove who's responsible for the RAW Berry Jam."
"Raw berry Jam?" Angelo asked.
"Makes the person who eats it want to take there clothes off." Dame Hanna said. "Pitch their kit. Strip their britches Drop there knickers."
"Got it." Angelo said as the others howled laughing.
"Ok." Lyra said. "You all have your assignments. With luck there will be a group of people who will gather over this. They will need leadership. Go to your assigned points in the city, and if needed organize and lead them to the castle."
"What about me?" Sasporilla asked?
"You're with us." Dame Splatterpalette smiled holding out her arms to Dame Hannah, Dame Phenix and Sir Borwhen.
"What's our assignment?" Sasporilla asked.
"Rescue squad if it all goes south!" Sir Borwhen said.
"Right." Sassy sighed.
Sasporilla returned to her dorm just in time to join the other ladies for breakfast.
"There's our last night owl!" Corina said with a coy puckered grin waving her wand and magically pulling out a chair at the breakfast table for her.
Sasporilla sat down beside a very sleepy Christin who still had paint on her hands from the nights activities.
"Goo--ow-ing Saspo-ila" Christin yawned. "Excuse me, I'm still so very tired."
"Yes." Sassy said. "You might want to wash your hands before breakfast."
"Oh!" Christin said taking notice of her paint-covered hands for the first time. "I'm so tired I didn't notice! Thank you!"
Christin scurried off as Corina carried out some fresh Gorgam Berry Biscuits. "Wait! Where is she going? Breakfast is ready!!!"
"She just forgot to shut her lamp off I think." Sassy smiled.
"There all done!" Kathleen said popping down out of a ceiling tile.
"OH MY G... " Sassy yelled surprised as Kathleen landed next to her and sat in the empty chair. "What were you doing up in the ceiling?"
"Kathleen was tapping into professor Binklycruggs Live Wire!" Corina winked.
"Live wire?" Sassy asked her hand over her pounding heart.
"Live Wire is the magi equivalent, in Avalon of muggle cable television. The difference is you just need to know the proper way to hook it up to a painting or mirror. Then how to activate it." Kathleen smiled. "It's a third year project, but a friend showed me the other day."
Kathleen pulled her wand and flicked it at the large dinning room wall mirror. Much to Sasporilla's surprise their reflection was replaced by twisted snowy interference.
"Just a few adjustments." Kathleen said twisting her wand a little to the left then back a bit to the right until the picture came in clear.
"This is AVN." A deep voice said.
"The Avalon news network!" Corina said. "Good enough for breakfast. We'll catch up on world affairs while we feast on some of the greatest culinary creations I have ever created!"
"Looks very good!" Jess smiled pouring a cup of Orange cugga-buggle tea, with a hint of Lion bee honey.
"BREAKING NEWS!" The headline flashed as music swelled catching the young ladies attention. Morgana Moonshadow the morning news anchor, a short fat older woman with an unpleasant expression on her face that reminded Sasporilla of Deloris Umbridge, came on screen next to a photo of the Witch Queen.
"Slanderous accusations rock the capital city this morning," Morgana Moonshadow snorted with disdain and disbelief, "as our glorious Witch Queen has been accused of having cheated her way through the trials all those years ago. We take you now to our palace reporter James MacNare. James?"
Sasporilla took a big gulp of sluva fruit juice, which was very bitter, but she barely noticed as she saw the crowds of people in the streets, on the live wire.
"Morgana," the rather dapper well dressed young reporter said looking rather excited, "People are waking up all across the city to the news of the Witch Queens alleged misdeeds appauled and angered!"
The camera panned across the crowd showing people holding up copies of the news paper screaming "CHEATER!" & "ABDICATE!"
"The crowd is outraged and looking for blood! It appears as if they're being lead by a small group of people."
"Can you get to one of the rabble rousers to interview?" Morgana Moonshadow asked.
Sasporilla nibbled nervously on a slice of toast as James MacNare quickened his step to catch up with the spiky red haired witch who didn't bother to wear a bandanna to cover her face
"Miss?" James MacNare called. "Miss? May I ask you some questions?"
"If you can keep up Sparky!" Lyra said chanting. "NO IN BETWEEN FOR A CHEATING QUEEN! BOUGENVALLIA'S NOT SO GREAT, THE WITCH QUEEN MUST ABDICATE!!!"
"What sort of evidence do you have to support such claims?" The reporter asked.
"Here ya go Sparky!" Lyra slapped a copy of the Avalon Examiner into his hands. "The Avalon Examiner ran this story to stop the Coronation of Bougainvillea Bent! They published the photo's show your viewers!!!"
James MacNare hesitated as he flipped through the pages but he turned the paper to the camera.
"Are you getting this?" MacNare asked getting a thumbs up from his camera man.
"The publisher was thrown in the castle dungeons by the Witch Queen and her supporters before he could get the truth out!" Lyra said. "He hid the copies, to keep his family safe, until he died. Then they reappeared. Look at the photos!"
The pictures were incontrovertible evidence. Bougainvillea Bent switching places magically with a person a dplit second before they crossed the finish line in the Witch Trials race. Bougainvillea Bent receiving outside help from masked wizards during the great Hunt! Worst of all she was seen to cast on the two count rather than the three during the final duel with the former Witch Queen.
"Disgraceful!" James MacNare said as they cut away to other footage of the mob storming the gates of the Royal Palace. With well placed BOMBARDA spells the gates blew wide open.
"That happened pretty easy." Kathleen sniffed as she tackled one of Corina's breakfast sandwiches. "For what's suppose to be a secure castle I mean. I'd have had much better security."
"You're right." Sassy said getting a chill. "It's a trap!!!"
The witch Queen, her golden hair twisted up tight and dressed in a beautiful gown of pearlescent white spun kneezal whisker and elven silver with royal gold filigree, her crown jewels and a cloak of endangered polar bear fur stepped out onto her balcony to address the angry crowd that spilled into her court yard. A very sleepy yet presentable Warlock King stepped out to stand behind her at her off side.
"What ever could be the cause of all this unrest?" The Witch Queen said innocently.
"The jigs up!" Lyra yelled like a cop from nineteen forties B movie as she climbed up onto a statue of a royal manticore. "The people know you cheated at your trials to become Witch Queen!"
"ABDICATE! ABDICATE! ABDICATE!!!" the people chanted.
"Is that what you want?" The Witch Queen asked. "Without even hearing my side? My explanation for my actions?"
The people fell silent at the warm kind smile that washed over the Witch Queen's face. Tension filled the crowd as her hands came out and cupped her heart lovingly then with one swoop her wand appeared.
"MURUSIGNIS!" The Witch Queen cast a wall of flame around the castle. Those in the crowd unlucky enough to be caught in the inferno were burned to ash.
" Bougainvawea!" The Warlock King screamed shocked. "You immuwated aw those poa peopoo! They aw oua subjects! They wuv us!"
"I owe you NO EXPLANATION!" The Witch Queen screamed! "I am your Witch Queen! Who are any of you?"
"We are the Magi Knights of the table round." The voice of Angelo said from atop a gigantic Statue of the Warlock King. "Those sworn to defend Avalon from tyrants such as you."
"Time for you to go Bougainvillea!" Lyra demanded. "Abdicate and hold a new Witch Queen trial! We the people demand it!!!"
"You demand nothing!!!!" The Witch Queen said raising her hand.
A gray fog formed around the crowd. Sasporilla ran to her room and grabbed her broom. Bursting through the door onto her terrace, scaring the feathers of Jorge, she launched herself off the ledge into the morning air.
"I and I alone am the voice of Avalon." The Witch Queen said as her trap of a technomancy stone field hardened everyone inside the walls of the palace court yards, making them as living statues. "I decide who is worthy and who is not. I decide who will die today... and who will live. I decide when and where we expand our city into other areas of Avalon, and we will. We will soon take the lands of Elves, take the lands of beasts, take the lands of any we like. Those who do not move or will not comply will die. This is my WILL AS YOUR WITCH QUEEN!!!"
A silence fell across Avalon of Horror and shock at the true nature of the monster that lead them.
"You want a Witch Queen Trial?" Bougainvillea Bent said. "Only a challenger could remove me from my thrown and there is no one of Nobel blood who is worthy."
"Aunt Bougainvillea!" Sasporilla Bucket yelled as she landed her broom on a near by rooftop, her wand pointed to her own neck to amplify her voice. "I your niece, daughter of your eldest sister Wysteria Millificent Bent, Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket. Queen of the Worker elves challenge you to the Witch Queen Trials Elves and as an heir of the Nobel house of Bent. I never wanted this but you leave me no choice through your despicable actions and your murderous ways. To allow you to go on like this unchallenged would be criminal.”
“So be it.” The Witch Queen smiled.
In the wee hours of the predawn morning it began. Knights of the table round, leading small groups of volunteers started to get the message out! The WITCH QUEEN CHEATED in her trials.
Dame Splatterpalette, accompanied by a throng of bandanna clad past and present student volunteers, painted the message in all over town as big as they could. In ways that would surely get peoples attention and greatly embarrass the Witch Queen.
