The Circle -- May catch-all

I've been here for a million years
Through the joy, through the tears.

Redbright Institute, Beltane : open to all

As the Maiden of witches, Abigail felt it only right that she attend the Beltane bonfire had in what was, really, Daybreak territory. Sylvia could call it what she liked, but Redbright was merely a longer arm for Daybreak.

Still, the party itself was a fun occasion. She had her own gathering to attend as well, so she didn't stay terribly late, but she could be found among the participants, wearing a flower crown she'd been given by a few young witches.


But when I am gone this will go on
And the circle starts again...

Geap Manor, early May : closed

"You must be Alex."

Abigail looks the part of Maiden of Witches, dressed in white and standing in the doorway of Geap Manor. She smiles, though, and offers her hand to the other young woman.

"Please. Come in. I'll put on a kettle."


I've watched the mountains rise from dust
Saw the gold return to rust

Geap Manor, early May : closed

"It's still unactivated, isn't it?"

That was the most important question. She needed to make sure Kyle hadn't killed anyone since he'd be bitten.

She should have listened to those dreams more carefully. God. Thank God Nancy had told her about this. She'd have thought they were just nightmares otherwise. But no… They were… Were they visions? Had she truly seen the future? God help her.

"If it is, we might be able to help."

She spoke as she led the small group further into the house. She wouldn't summon here, but other magic? Certainly.


I had cried when the oceans died
And the circle starts again...

Westminster, mid May : open to all

The ousting of Norrell from the Night Council? Is the best news Abby's had in months. After all, it gives her the hope of maybe getting some of the adamantly anti-Midnight laws out. Maybe even change the definition of dark magic. Get her sisters a bit of relief.

So, she spends her days in Westminster, chatting with aides and having lunches.

For lunch today is a deli shop and a sandwich. Nothing grand, but it was good food, and she could grab it quickly if she needed to.

Dorian knew the Maiden of Witches when he saw her. How could he not? She wasn't exactly popular amongst the crowds gathered here - everyone seemed to have their own opinion of a Midnight witch being named Maiden but Dorian himself reserved his own opinion till after he knew her.

Speaking of which, no time like the present right?

As she stepped aside to catch a breath between interactions, Dorian took his chance.

"I must say, pansies are unusually becoming on you."
