AURELIA

After removing the song-sheets from the machine, and skimming through, the Angel notices that there have been some subtle changes to the music. It is as if the greatest musician who has ever lived had looked at these, seen a core of true beauty that took some subtle tweaks to bring out. Now, these songs are something else entirely - so beautiful and perfect that angels and devils, monsters and men, animals and certain specific planets and fungi would weep with happiness at the sound of them.

EUDIAL

After seeking out the Griffon, Eudial finds the mage just finishing a dossier. "After researching this thoroughly, I believe I have discerned the identity of the next rift wielder..."
The huge talon slides the file over...

"Basically, if I am right, you need to take down the worlds most powerful and beloved superhero... he's cutting the ribbon at the new home for Cute Baby Pandas tonight. That he built the other day. Out of diamonds. Diamonds he made with his fists"

PLAYZOOKI

Zooki returns to the mess hall to find all the plates thrown on the floor and every scrap of food gone. The robot is deactivated again. Suddenly there is a blow to his head that feels like a cannonball impacted him. Everything fades to black....

Later....

Zooki awakes to find his feet tied together with a thick mithril chain and his hands are manacles together, hanging upside down suspended off some point of the castle. The city spreads out below him. It is a long long long long way down. To concrete.

"So approximately human-like creature... you would think to steal the great bounty from my people, who have journeyed long to get here? Give me one good reason that I shouldn't let you fall? Answer me, for I am Katia, Mistress of Kung-shrew, and I do not joke" says the silhouette of a small brown creature about 2 inches tall from the balcony above.
