The hours following Seth’s death had been spent partially in limbo for Rhys. Time seemed to pass irregularly with only the ache of raw grief remaining as the only sure constant. Mateo’s company had been a brief reprieve from being left alone with his thoughts and once the thunderbird had left – somewhat reluctantly, Rhys noticed – he swallowed his pride and headed to Cairo’s office, bracing himself every step of the way for whatever kind of reception he’d be receiving. He hadn’t even paused to consider that Cairo might not want anything to do with this, that he was being far too presumptuous and driven only by grief and an unwavering need to keep his word to Seth. If it didn’t work out, he’d tried. Well, he’d tried with assistance. If Cairo wanted nothing to do with any part of it, Rhys was ready to break family tradition and figure things out from there.
Taking a moment to compose himself as he stopped outside Cairo’s office door, Rhys straightened up and knocked twice against it, praying his voice wouldn’t falter this time around. The more pathetic displays didn’t need to be witnessed by anyone other than Mateo for the time being. “Cairo? Do you have a minute? I’m really sorry to disturb you– it’s… it’s kind of urgent.”

A humourless laugh left the younger witch at the not-so-subtle dig towards their opposing sides of magic. Occasionally, Rhys could admit to being a snob about certain things in life and how one chose to utilise their magic was certainly one of those things. When it came to those who willingly chose to practice the dark arts, Rhys struggled to find a good enough reason to ever firmly trust them or their ideals. In the name of professionalism, he'd been happy to maintain as good a relationship as he possibly could between himself and Cairo given their positions within the castle, but the longer this exchange went on and the more Cairo said, the less Rhys found himself willing to be quite as personable as he had been in the past. "Unfortunately not, no. But I don't believe we need to give this exchange any more time than we already have. But before you go... just know that should you happen to have a change of heart about anything, you're welcome to drop by my office any time."
"Rightfully so. I've fulfilled my contractual obligations. We're not all white witches are we." Cairo smiled something a touch wicked to the head of consultants. There was a reason they didn't and wouldn't see eye to eye on a lot of things. They were on opposite ends of the spectrum and the goals behind their actions and ascension were never going to coincide. The only thing they had in common was magic.
When it came down to it, if it was him or a councilman Cairo would let a councilman die rather than himself unless it was Lucien or Raphael. The others were replaceable as he was. He was paid to do a job here and he'd do it to a point, but the job wasn't more important than his own livelihood.

Wyatt would be too foolish to hope for such a thing anyway. In the sense that he didn't know if they could ever be together. And he wasn't certain what was scarier. The fact that he could lose her forever and never get to be with or the fact that they would be together and things won't work out in the end. He wasn't certain if he could bear to live without either possibility. Wyatt could see it in her eyes though. In those unshed tears of hers. He knew exactly what she was thinking and while he wasn't the biggest fan of it he knew that she wasn't ready. Not ready for anything between them. Maybe she never will be. And that was the most difficult thing for him to swallow considering how much he wanted to be with her. But perhaps he should go by the age old saying if you love someone then you should be willing to let her go if it means they would be happy. But so far he hasn't seen her being happy without being with him. And that was one of the biggest things that convinced him to keep on loving her and never letting her go. Her words stung him for a moment as he took in a deep breath trying to calm his beating heart. "I believe in you more than I have ever believed in anyone or anything. So no I don't believe you will keep messing this up. " He said to her before taking a deep breath to steady himself as he uttered his next words. "The only thing I want from you is for you to be yourself. Nothing more, nothing less. And if you still feel like you can't do that for me then I am willing to let you go. It's going to be okay. " He responded to her softly.
Wyatt let out a long and exasperated sigh at her words. He could see it clearly behind her eyes. The tiredness and the frustrations and the exhaustion. He saw the pain she was going through and he wished he could take it all away from her. There were many things that Wyatt wished at that moment in particular. None seemed possible in coming true. He wished that she had never dated that guy. That she only stayed with him and they were together. It would have been much better that way. She wouldn't have been treated way better and wouldn't be in so much pain. But alas that wasn't to be and now he was forced to deal with this scenario. Her words stung him for a moment as he bit his lower lip. He looked away from her daring not to meet her eyes as he smiled softly at her. "Maybe that's your problem. You struggle to recognize better even if it always was in front of you. But I hope that someday you will be able to recognize it and all I hope is that day will come soon because I hate seeing you so heartbroken. And in so much pain. " He mustered to say. He was speaking from the depths of his heart but he didn't know if she would understand it. He was practically praying that she would. After a moment's pause his eyes locked with hers again as he smiled softly at her. "There's no point in beating yourself up over it. What's done is done. It can't be changed. What we can do is take lessons from it and make sure to not make mistakes such as this in the future. " He responded to her with a gentle smile. At her next words he found himself sighing softly at her before finally responding to her. "I do not know but what I do know is that I am by your side always. And I shall help you in picking up the pieces. Whatever they may be. " He responded to her with a charming smile.

Elsewhere, Kamala Harris campaigned in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, where she appealed to young voters "impatient for change" § The United States and the European Union called for a full investigation into reports of violations in an election in Georgia, where the president urged protests on Monday following the disputed parliamentary vote. The results, with almost all precincts counted, were a blow for pro-Western Georgians who had cast the election as a choice between a ruling party that has deepened ties with Russia and an opposition aiming to fast-track integration with Europe. § The coalition led by Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has lost its majority in parliament, its worst result in over a decade. § The LDP and its coalition partner, the much smaller Komeito, have taken 215 seats together, falling short of the 233-seat majority needed to govern. The election was called by the LDP’s new leader Shigeru Ishiba just days before he was sworn in as prime minister - but the loss of his party's parliamentary majority has now put his political future into question.

Coffee: A Cultural Icon!
Do you LOVE coffee?
A daily morning wake-up ritual, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up jolt, or savouring gourmet blends with friends: coffee is a cultural icon all over the world.
For coffee lovers, there is little that’s worse than a bad cup of coffee – most of us would rather go without it than drink a substandard cup.
Australia is known for serving some of the very best coffee globally.
With the right barista training, you too can actively participate in our coffee culture and make the perfect cup of Espresso, Café Latte, Vienna, Cappucino, Macchiato, and more!
What is Coffee Culture?
Coffea is a type of small flowering shrub or tree that is native to tropical Asia and tropical and southern Africa. The seeds are called coffee beans, and those of some species of coffee plants are used to flavour beverages and other food products.
The term “coffee culture” refers to the traditions and social behaviours that inform how we consume coffee and exhibit its social influence all over the world.
A (Very) Brief History of Coffee
The rich history of coffee, from the discovery of what could be done with the coffee bean to its cultural significance today, is fascinating.
In a nutshell:
Coffee may be what is referred to in Homer’s 8th century B.C. The Odyssey as a “magical potion”.
The first cup of coffee: according to legend, an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi noticed that his flock became energised after eating berries from a certain bush; he tried it himself and was exhilarated by the effect. He brought the berries to a monk, who threw them onto the fire in disgust, but the captivating aroma that ensued brought others in the monastery to investigate. The roasted beans were collected, ground, and dissolved in hot water for drinking.
We know that the human consumption of coffee dates back at least as far as the 9th The Oromo tribe of Ethiopia made food from roasted coffee beans, butter, and salt.
By the 15th century (1400s) coffee was known in Mecca and had been imported from Ethiopia to Yemen by Somali merchants. It initially spread from what is now Yemen via Mecca and Medina to Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Baghdad, and Constantinople (Istanbul).
A writer reported in 1587 that the Mufti of Aden, first known to have adopted the regular use of coffee around 1454, found that “it drove away fatigue and lethargy … brought to the body a certain sprightliness and vigour”.
Many early proponents of coffee, especially Islamic science and medicine practitioners, promoted the beverage as beneficial and stimulating for the mind while effectively overcoming the allure of hashish and alcohol. At the same time, coffee was used to enhance concentration during prayer in Sufi monasteries. It helped Islamic consumers fast during the day and remain awake at night during Ramadan – and legend had it that the archangel Gabriel gifted it to humans as a replacement for forbidden wine.
Coffee consumption was forbidden in 1511 in Mecca by orthodox imams due to its stimulating effects. This was overturned in 1524 but coffee was similarly forbidden in Cairo in 1532. In the centuries that followed it was banned for some time by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Everywhere it was consumed, it became a controversial topic and was seen by many as taboo. It was widely prohibited at times, and even taxed to prevent the unemployed and bureaucrats from being able to consume it.
The first recorded public coffee house was located in Arabia (modern-day Yemen) in the 15th Here, men would gather to drink coffee while they conversed, enjoyed music, and played games.
In the early 1500s, coffee consumption spread to the Levant (present-day Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Greece, and Cyprus). It became a major key to the Red Sea region’s economy from the 1400s to the 1600s. Public coffee houses spread from Arabia to Egypt, Turkey, and later India, the East Indies, Europe, and elsewhere in the world.
Central and Eastern Europeans were introduced to coffee from the Ottoman Empire (Modern Turkey). Coffee houses became established in Western Europe by late in the 17th century, and the beverage was particularly popular in England, Holland, and what is now Germany. By 1675 there were more than 3,000 public coffee houses in England, and these became popular gathering places for political and religious discussions. Charles II tried to dissolve the presence of these establishments due to their potential for encouraging subversive practices in 1670.
Coffee was believed by many in the 1600s and 1700s to have medicinal benefits, including as a cure for nervous disorders, upset stomach, headaches, dizziness, and more. Some women (who were banned from many coffee houses) petitioned against its use, claiming it made their husbands impotent!
Coffee beans and seedlings were exported by the Dutch to the Americas via Martinique in 1720. These sprouted more than 18,000 trees and coffee plantations spread to other Caribbean islands and Mexico. In 1788, Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean supplied half of the world’s coffee beans.
By the 1800s, the Italian love affair with coffee was well established, having been first introduced to the region via trade in Venice, and wealthy Venetians, despite being charged heavily for coffee, became enthralled by it. Soon, spectacular coffee houses were built for the public to enjoy this drink and, to this day, the famous Caffé Zucca in Milan (dating from 1867) remains open as a café. The espresso was invented in 1901 by Luigi Bezzera of Milan.
By 1852, Brazil was the largest producer of coffee and this is still the case. Today, the other major players in coffee production are Vietnam, Colombia, Ivory Coast, and Ethiopia.
Coffee has since spread all over the world. In Australia, coffee “palaces” began to pop up in Melbourne in the 1880s. The first espresso machine appeared in Melbourne’s Café Florentino in the 1930s.
Australia’s wider appreciation for coffee grew dramatically after World War II, very much influenced by the large intake of Italian immigrants who made Australia their home and brought with them coffee machines. This provided Australians with superior espresso coffee.
To this day, most Australians tend to prefer to drink quality coffee or none at all. Unlike the US tendency to drink large cups of bitter, watery drip coffee, Australians favour espresso-style, individually-made cups of coffee that are smaller in size – but stronger and smoother in taste.

Spoiler alert; the Maltese Falcon is literally a (secretly) gay icon.
So here’s the thing. I’m usually not one for talking about head canons. There’s no way we’ll ever really know why Crowley has the Maltese Falcon alongside his other two “winged statues” (wink wink, nudge nudge) in his flat. But in my little art director heart I really feel like some context could help people think about the historical implications of what the Maltese Falcon might represent for Crowley, and how life often imitates art.
So how is this mysterious black bird (ahem) a symbol of coded queerness in film?
The Maltese Falcon, written & directed by John Huston and released in 1941 (ahem), is an adaptation of Hammett's 1930 novel, which features not one, but three openly gay villains in San Francisco. If you want to adapt this novel in 1940's Hollywood, you had to deal with the Hay's Code,
...A set of moral censorship guidelines for the American filmmaking industry, and was effective in place until 1968. There are several reprehensible facets to the Code, but the one most relevant here is Section 2 – titled simply “Sex” – Item 4: “Sex Perversion, or any inference to it, is forbidden.” While this does not explicitly forbid filmmakers from the use of homosexual characters in a narrative, the implication is transparent enough. Any positive gay representation was clearly made impossible.
Screenflipped (How Subtext Saved (and Damned) Homosexuality on Screen)
The Hays code effectively sublimated all the gay representation in the novel into subtle coded references (sound familiar?) that could be defended if taken out of context, but taken as a whole paint a very erotic gay picture:
Cairo’s calling cards and handkerchiefs are scented with gardenias. He also fusses about his clothes and becomes upset when blood from a scratch ruins his shirt. And if you look carefully, he makes subtle fellating gestures with his cane during his interview with Sam Spade (Bogart)...Some gay critics have also focused on the falcon as a phallic signifier; the way it is treated and touched by various characters.
Emanuel Levy
What's amazing about this is that, despite how coded the references have to be, and how negative the portrayal might be, this is probably "the first example of an explicitly gay-coded villain in American film." Think about it. Crowley loves movies, and in 1941, when the whole world was burning, and the object of his desire is so close for the first time in decades, and yet still so impossibly far away, he could go to a movie theatre and watch gay characters lust after an equally unobtainable Maltese falcon on the silver screen. Who wanted (like him), and were sexual and dark (like him). Who had to sneak around, and make innuendos and use coded signalling and double speak, just to exist.
And even though the hero of The Maltese Flacon finds a perfect straight-laced, alpha male rogue in Humphrey Bogart, "it's undeniable that Bogie was a gay ally -- or as allied as you could get in that era. He frequented gay bars and had close friendships with gay men throughout his life, including Charles Farrell, Spencer Tracey, William Haines, Noel Coward, and even a young Truman Capote (who beat him at arm wrestling)." And just one year later, arguably in his most famous film role, Bogart played another hero in the (also subtly queer coded) film Casablanca, alongside noted bisexual actor Conrad Veidt in his last ever film role before his death.
Veidt played the hero int the first positive gay romance ever featured on film, Different from the Others (1919). It was a SILENT FILM, that's how early it was. Why do I mention Casablanca and Veidt? Take a look at the posters on the wall in the backstage room after the bullet catch in season 2...
Queer history is, albeit quietly, woven into the very fabric of Good Omens. You can't hear it over the noise of the traffic, but it's there.
Why does Crowley have the Maltese Falcon?
My head cannon is that the 1941 Church/Magic Show/Zombie evening (date??) ended badly and Crowley did a geographic to Hollywood where he worked on the film (it would have been in production in 1941) and kept a souvenir.

Taba bombing An unknown strike on the cities of Taba and Nuweiba, and Egypt launches a statement with a decisive response. Will Egypt officially enter the war? Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning is in Taba, Egypt, where the Egyptian Armed Forces announced the downing of an unidentified drone this Friday morning in Taba. The military spokesman's statement explained that the plane crashed next to a building next to Taba Hospital, and the accident resulted in minor injuries to 6 people who were discharged from the hospital after receiving the necessary first aid, and the accident is under investigation. The Israeli army indicated that the matter is still under investigation, following up, according to our assessment, on the injury suffered by Egypt as a result of this threat.
He explained that Israel is with Egypt and the United States and is strengthening protection in the region in the face of threats coming from the Red Sea vicinity. Egyptian media reported at dawn on Friday that a missile had fallen in Taba, Egypt, injuring 5 people and causing damage to a residential building. The Israeli army confirmed that it was aware of a security incident near its Red Sea border with Egypt early Friday, following reports of an explosion in the city of Taba, according to what Reuters reported. The army added: “We are aware that a security incident occurred, but it occurred outside our borders.”
In the same context, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Friday that a projectile fell on the city of Nuweiba overlooking the Red Sea, and that the authorities were still collecting more information about the incident, following the Taba incident, which a spokesman for The Egyptian army said it was caused by the fall of an unidentified drone. The two security sources added that the projectile fell in the desert land of the city of Nuweiba, and an eyewitness told Reuters that he heard a strong explosion, and clouds of dust were seen in the distance. An informed source told the Egyptian Cairo News Channel that a strange object fell near the Nuweiba power station.
For its part, the Israeli army commented on an incident in which the Egyptian city of Nuweiba, overlooking the Red Sea, was hit by a projectile on Friday. Israeli army spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Hajari, commented on reports that missiles hit the cities of Taba and Nuweiba in Sinai, saying: An air threat was detected in the Red Sea region, and fighter aircraft were damaged due to the threat and the matter is currently under investigation. He added: It is our understanding that the damage in Egypt stemmed from this threat.. Israel will work with Egypt and the United States to tighten defense in the region against threats coming from the Red Sea.
In another context, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced on Thursday that the United States had carried out strikes against two facilities used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and “groups affiliated with it” in eastern Syria. The Pentagon announced these strikes after President Joe Biden sent a letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning him that any attack on American forces threatens to expand the scope of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. White House spokesman John Kirby said, "A direct message was sent. I will not go any further." “The precision strikes in self-defense are a response to a series of ongoing, and mostly unsuccessful, attacks against American personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias that began on October 17,” Secretary Austin said in a statement. According to the Pentagon, an American citizen died of a heart attack while hiding during one of these attacks, and 21 others were slightly injured but have since returned to work. Austin said that Biden ordered these strikes “in order to make it clear that the United States will not tolerate attacks like this and will defend itself, its people, and its interests.” Austin stressed that "these self-defense strikes, well directed, (...) are separate from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and do not constitute a change in our approach" to this war.

"Sometime around the year 1314, a government bureaucrat living in Cairo, Egypt, grew tired of his daily duties int he Mamluk Empire's financial administration and decided to devote the rest of his life to the composition of a massive compendium of knowledge. By the time of his death in 1333, Shihāb al-Dīn Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhāb al-Nuwayrī had assembled one of the most important collections of Arabic Islamic literature and thought, which he titled The Ultimate Ambition in the Arts of Erudition. It distilled several centuries of poetic, narrative, historical, religious, and scientific writings into an enormous summa that was faithfully copied and studied until the early twentieth century."

As Rhys should have expected, Cairo’s responses had been as helpful as a chocolate teapot but there wasn’t sufficient time to bicker over the particulars. Giving the older witch a strained smile of reluctant acceptance, Rhys nodded his acknowledgement and turned to focus his attention on seeking out the familiarity of Seth’s presence, regardless of the inevitable difficulties that hell tended to carry with it. Through some small miracle – the irony of which wasn’t lost on him given their current surroundings – it didn’t take long to find something faint to tether himself to and Rhys followed the thread as swiftly as he could, the determination and concern for his unofficially adopted pain in the ass overriding any discomfort and unease his raised religion tried to drill into him above it all. Distractions weren’t an option right now. After an unsurprisingly gruelling effort had been made to get as close as the faint thread leading him to Seth would allow, Rhys gave a breathless sigh of relief at the familiar silhouette that finally came into view and Rhys approached with caution, knowing better than to blindly trust anything down here. “Hey,” he called out as he approached, his gaze flickering around their surroundings constantly, not wanting to drop his guard for a second. “You wanna get out of here any time soon? I know I do.”
@witchysethharper
Hell was not a new experience for Cairo, mostly. This version was. The real version. He did experience it as a medium so not exactly the same as he was currently, but desperate times and all. Losing that part of him made certain aspects rather insufferable. If he was opening a gate to hell that gave him a very unique opportunity and he'd use it to his advantage.
The trip to the Dasior's was for a few spells that he needed. Like any magical family, his own included, they just collected. White, neutral, and dark; it didn't matter. Aurelius had a number of spell books that covered all manners of magic. White to keep it from them and neutral and dark for his own purposes. He'd never be able to use the spells in the white books, but nor could any magician opposite him.
"Seth can teleport or do you think he lost that ability? What did you think I'd be able to find him faster than you? I've done my part. Got you in. Go find your charge. This isn't a group effort." Cairo could have found him faster, but it didn't benefit him to do so. "I told you this was your burden. Carry it."

MUSE: AMIR ASAD
Date written: August 2021
Short summary: Set in the Old West, this starter is about Amir's struggles with moving to America as an immigrant. He was unfortunately sold to a power hungry capitalistic company that experimented on him until they managed to make him a super-powered killer. He escaped his containment facility and has since joined a bunch of rebels that are trying to take the company down one hit at a time.
It’s a cold and desolate night in the shithole he calls home. Colorado weather has never agreed with him, almost as unwelcoming as some of his neighbours. Funny how some people still consider this new world a land of opportunity— if you ask Amir, this new world isn't anything but a place of death and misery.
Memories of his life before this infernal landscape are almost as hazy as the air in this town, the sands of time corrupting what used to be the clear alcoves of his mind. Once clean recollections of his childhood, his hometown, and his friends have now become contaminated, overwritten by unspoken trauma and a series of truly funereal days.
All of this Amir can bear with relative ease.
Sometimes he might need an extra drink or two in order to drown the agonising squeeze of notalgia, but Amir is fine otherwise. He tells himself these wistful moments of the past are nothing but residual sentiments that he must leave behind in order to get stronger, and most of the time he lets these maudlin emotions pass over him like a malevolent desert storm that leaves him coated in a layer of sand.
He dusts himself off and moves on.
The only thing he can’t bear is the loss of his father, Zamaan. Amir doesn’t much care for the ‘why’ of it all; he knows if Zamaan were here, he would chastise him for questioning his fate. Zamaan would have told him this new path he’s taken with the Black Birds was written in the stars long ago; that all the torturous years of experimentation at the hands of these ruthless colonisers was preordained by the Divine. Zamaan isn’t here to tell his son that one cannot escape their destiny.
Only the thing is, Amir’s not looking for escape— he’s looking for revenge.
Nineteen years ago, Cavor Corp took Zamaan away from him, and to this day Amir has not heard back from his father. Expensive tailored suits had showed up to his door one night, not unlike this one, and had told him it had been an accident and that his father had died but Amir didn’t believe them then and he certainly doesn’t believe them now. The suits had taken Amir away to protect him but he would soon come to learn the extent of their compassion.
”It’s only temporary, until we can contact someone from Egypt to take you in,” they’d said.
That day would never come; they’d no intention of letting him go. Amir had spent countless nights in his holding cell, the remote controlled collar permanently marking his skin raw from where it rested around his neck. Amir had always hated the cold, in fact, it had been the first thing he’d complained about back when he’d first moved to Colorado.
Not a day went by in sub level 127 where Amir didn’t long to feel the afternoon sun’s warmth on his lifeless skin. Back in Cairo, the sounds of wild hyenas would keep him up at bedtime, the ghoulish noises scaring him witless, but he far preferred them to the chilling choir of screams that would be his only lullaby most nights at sub level 127. The experiments were indescribable but worse, still, was the boredom. Every second Amir spent in the four walls of his enclosure further added to his caged tiger tendencies, so that when escape finally became possible after fourteen years, Amir was able to claw his way out with fervent determination.
Now he’s with the Black Birds, a violent organisation led by a violent leader, Brynn Oldmire. If Amir is fire, Brynn is the fuel. She is just as wild as the lands they ride on, and twice as feral, proving her mettle time and time again on perilous missions.
Zamaan would disapprove, but Amir isn’t taking his feelings into account; all he cares about is finding his father and getting him out of wherever they’re keeping him. There were 130 basement levels in the Cavor Corp building, any one of them could be holding him. He hopes that’s all they’re doing— the thought of his father being subjected to the kind of cruel tests they’d done on Amir makes him physically ill.
“I’m no science hick but if my star-watchin’ proves right, that train can’t be any more than ten minutes from crossing the bridge.”
Brynn’s voice cuts prompts Amir to look up to the vast blanket of night, painted with stars he still doesn’t recognise after six years of freedom. Six years spent training himself with a gun, six years spent looking for clues of the man who’s become a ghost story in Cavor Corp, six years spent grasping at straws and fighting frustration. Amir has never missed a mission and he doesn’t plan to stop, they’ll have to kill him to make him give up. Whenever things get too heavy, he thinks back to Zamaan’s last words to him before his disappearance, ”Be brave, little lion.”
And just like that, his heart hardens against surrender.
To his left is their newest recruit, a kid called Griffin, pale as the moon and quiet as stone. Though it’s been six years, Amir can never forget the horrors of that basement— for Griffin, those horrors are like a fresh wound that have barely begun to scab. He still thinks it’s a mistake to bring the kid along; these missions aren’t a game, the Black Birds are all flirting with death and often spill blood in the process. If it comes down to it, will Griffin be able to pull the trigger? Is it even ethical to let him join?
Amir supposes it’s not up to him to decide these things. If Griffin says he can fight, let him fight, who is he to stand in the way of someone’s mission? Perhaps Amir only hesitates because Griffin is painfully reminiscent of the young man he himself had been when he’d escaped— terrified, but stubborn and unyielding.
To his right is Arabella, about the same age as Griffin but worlds apart in personality. What she lacks in courage, she makes up for with her superior abilities, and while Amir admires her, he’s happy to keep his distance. He isn’t a talkative individual, the less people know about him, the better. The last thing he wants is for someone to invade his mind; it’s a private space that he retreats to when he needs time for introspection— it’s not there to be read like a journal. Part of him knows it must be a curse for her to have everyone’s thoughts in her head but Amir can’t help and wonder how often Arabella fights the urge to tap into other people’s consciousnesses to poke around their conceptions.
He knows he wouldn’t be able to resist.
“Easy, old girl. Jus’a few more minutes,” she muses, trying to ease her steed.
“She can sense your apprehension.” He tightens his grip on the reins of his own horse, one he hasn’t bothered to name. “Calm yourself, the trials are yet to begin,” he reminds her, heavy words carried on the gentle breeze.
Amir almost never speaks with authority— he’s more than happy to leave the commanding position to Oldmire, who does a much better job of keeping everyone in line, despite her lack of apparent supernatural abilities.
The land begins to rumble, the shaking suddenly reminding him how real this is— the train approaches much faster than anticipated and Amir looks up to the sky one last time, wondering what his destiny has in store for him tonight— will he get another chance to hurt Cavor Corp or will he meet his ancestors instead? Shadows dance across the barren ground until they manifest in the form of black sands and obscure his face with a bandana.
Amir becomes the Wraith, ready to haunt this hell.

Timeline: End of February, 2022
Location: Chateau Devereux in Burgundy, France
After the spectacle that was the prolonged, training session in Cairo - things come to an inevitable peace. That is the wonder of gossip and scandal. All it takes is time, distance, and the next mission to dissuade even the most persistent of agents. Of course, there are some that press on Jack even longer. Her brother, Nicky, and the adamant but otherwise wordless stare of Sebastian, for example. Those that know her well (as well as anyone can known Jack), know better. They know of her professionalism, her seriousness, and her discretion. If she is to put it all to reckless abandon, then West Thompson must be someone special indeed. Like with all things, she keeps to herself. Even as her brother, or friends, needle and prod. Jack has never been outlandish with her emotions, and she doubts that is going to change just because she is happy.
The same cannot be said for Sebastian, who spends the duration of their time in Cairo staring at the back of her skull. He’s lost somewhere between petulant possessiveness, and something Jack can recognize as heartbreak. It gnaws at her, an inevitable sense of frustration and guilt. But she allows it to roll off her shoulders, best she can. Why should she dilute her glow, just so Sebastian can shine? Happiness has always been an illusive thing for Jack. Until West comes to her, an unexpected jolt of life that teases out an ease and satisfaction. The sort that Jack could only imagine, but could never feel in her arms or warm against her lips.
The separation of their crews inevitably comes. A long slew of missions await, and Jack feels fortunate to land ‘Mission Athena.’ An undercover mission with Agent Prometheus, to the University of Athens. Not all missions are necessarily volatile in nature, and this requires the pair of Apollo’s to blend in plain sight as young, visiting professors. Her expertise in Fine Arts put to good use, as she convinces the master’s students of her credibility - and leverages the University’s databases to learn more about the artifacts, linked to the attack in Peru. It certainly makes the first two months of their companionship (unsure still what she is to call it). There’s a bounty of free time. Enough to hop a Pantheon jet, for weekend visits. She even enlists West’s help in developing her fake, Instagram profile. After all, Renata Wilkins is a hip (if not eccentric) artist that should love social media. Of course, West extends his social media prowess - for the low, low price of Jack partaking in a Tik Tok challenge “for authenticity.”
She knows she’s fallen hard, when she manages to get through a Tik Tok dance with only minor complaints.
But then, it arrives. In pensive calligraphy and bold letters - Antoine Devereux’s sixtieth birthday party. Along with it, a handwritten note from her grandmother in French. A copious amount of guilt, reprimand, and harsh reminder. All packed into a single piece of stationary. Despite Jill’s even worse relationship with their father, he decides to go. “Bury the hatchet” and “claim part of his inheritance.” A move that has Jack, whose only ever admired her brother’s equally crafty mind, smirking and agreeing. She’ll do it for him, Jack decides, although regret comes instantly when Jill lets her “new lover” slip to their grandmother.
Several smacks on Jill’s head and a number of calls to West later, and she is picking him up from the private jet tarmac in Burgundy, France. Her mother vintage BMW in tow, and a set of nerves that are as uncharacteristic for Jack as the stuffy collared shirt.
“When you first meet him, it’s your grace. Every time after that, it’s sir. Never your lord, my lord, or whatever else they claim on Bridgerton. No bowing, either. But you always stand when he walks into any room, and sit only after he offers you a seat. The same for my mother - but if I know her, she won’t be seating as much as she’ll be deep into the Burgundy’s and critiquing Jill’s new beard.” Jack says nervously, right hand clasped around the steering wheel as they venture through the picturesque French roads. Her other hand, finding West’s, and unknowingly squeezing it as the tension rolls over her shoulders.
She had arrived just a day prior, and already she feels herself spinning out of control. The ‘perfect’ Agent Monet, with all of her cool nature? It devolves in her family’s company. It’s like she’s sixteen-years-old, clamoring for approval and raising her voice at the slightest of passive insults.
“He’ll want to go hunting with you tomorrow morning. He and his dreary, old friend. And Jill, obviously. Then, you’ll drive back down to the Chateau for lunch. The women,” she says with an air of derision, even as her words move a mile a minute. “Would just be returning from shopping and antiquity hunting. But, let’s put that aside for now.” She starts drifting on her lane, earning a righteous honk from the car on the opposite land. “Putain!” Jack curses, leaning into the horn of her steering wheel. “Did you see that?” She asks West, indignant and aggravated.
“Anyways. Tonight, it’s straight to cocktails and dinner. It will just be us, Jill, and my grandmother. Black tie for dinner, which is about five courses. And then cognac at the study after.” Amidst the rush of words and the pounding anxiety, she manages to glance at West for a moment of appreciation. “I’m sorry about this. Thank you for doing it, anyways.”
