Concorda sat with a deck of cards in front of her. She had promised Griselda and Faragonda that she would do a reading in light of the recent chaos that exploded at the Valentine's dance. She picked the first card up and lay it down in the predetermined pattern. With the final card, and a simple wave of her hand, the cards flipped from the face down position to the face up position.
She drew her head back and looked up at Professors Faragonda and Griselda. "Darkness falls on Alfea." The reading she got was not one she liked - especially since there was a Death card in the reading. That never boded well. She decided that she was going to reshuffle the cards and do the reading again.
Same layout, same cards. "Professors, I do think we have a rather large problem."

Griselda lifted up the Death card with two long fingers. "Does this always symbolize what I think it does?" she asked.
There was a stiff pause. "Well! We're not the ones who can see the future. What's going to happen?"

"Not always, but in this case, someone will possibly die. Hopefully, not one of our girls or one of Athena's boys," Concorda said. "I think he is looking for the Codex. Ah... I was speaking with Athena... Their Codex was taken..."

"Not he as in Darkar he?" Griselda asked. She gave a small sigh, knowing the answer. "So," she said quickly, "What's our defense plan? What's Red Fountain's defense plan? I will not stand for sitting around when our kids lives are at risk."
Griselda didn't mind talking that way in front of only Faragonda and Concorda. They knew there was more to her than she'd show the students.
(OOC: pm me for ideas on the death...)

"Athena said their Codex was taken.. by Prince Sky," Concorda sighed quietly. "Darkar's apparently turned Sky to his side. And..." she paused, shaking her head. "It gets worse. Athena said that they had a seer and Darkar's captured her."

"Sky, as in Prince Sky of Eraklyon? My word, but he is under Darkar's spell against his will?" Griselda questioned.
"A similar incident happened with one of my girls this year, Flora...." Her voice began to trail off. ".....And, as Faragonda knows, it happened to myself as a student years ago. Years and years ago!" She added quickly. "I'm too strong for that now!"
"Anyway," she continued, "I shall call Codatorta and ask him to send his strongest boys to retrieve Athena."

"From what my cards say, he willingly joined to protect the seer," Concorda said, picking up two of the cards - the ones that represented Sky and the seer. "There's a connection of some nature between them, just what I couldn't begin to tell you."
Her hand sought out the card that had been representing Flora. "Her darkness will be defeated and she'll be pulled back by one of her friends." She gave a small tight smile. "I can just hope that it's before she harms one of her friends."
