we see Princess Consuela Alderoak (Consuela Eugenia Corelia Annabelle Elizabeth Alderoak III) giving out toys to children; Elli helps her
Alderoak family
descendants of the great hero Nelocon
second only to Vulcanus in the city
known for conducting dark rituals
many died in the war
Consuela is as close to a princess as the city has
a new feature of the festival: a ferris wheel, steampowered, created by the BRI Corporation
we ride and get a view of the entire city - including the burned docks
Blythe’s godmother is referred to as The Mother, and collects the candle flames from the dark candles of the festival as the sun goes down
she warns Blythe not to be in the town square at 3pm, when the sun goes down
Marlie’s mother told her there was a ritual at the biome at 3pm, when the sun goes down, so we travel towards there; but the sun is set
we are pursued in the streets, which are devoid of all life and people, by a eight-legged horse ridden by a hooded figure with a single silver eye
behind us, at the square, the collection of bann sidhe begin to swirl through the air
we arrive at the biome to find it utterly deserted
(Post Session)
we try to figure out what to do at Marlie’s house
while waiting, Blythe hears a familiar sound from the Pickle house basement: the scraping drag of the dullahan approaching; it is accompanied by the smell of fresh donuts
Blythe makes everyone run inside, and blocks the door
