Kito Latro had been noticing something off with his mask. He had been at the society for a while and noticed a small little mark on his ear. A off coloration from when he fell in to a cabinet, and he couldn't help but freak out. Since he knew what was happening, the protection that the spirits had put on the mask is fading. He hadn't bathed in the spring like he should while here since he couldn't. If anything happened to his mask he'd either loose his powers or die. As the Mask was his soul, so he had been trying to find someone to help, to find a substitute. He had been asking various lodgers what they studied and ask if they'd be willing to help. Some tried but Kito knew what they did didn't help.

Millie decided to take a break from all the work and worry and stretch her legs by idly roaming the halls.

(Not sure if she can really help but it'd be interesting of her meeting him)

Millie listened attentively, the wheels in her head were turning as she rooted around her memorys for parallels, when he finished she was silent for a space... ". . . Your Mythos seems to mixing parallels with a lot of different cultures... but the spring you've discribed has some parallels to the Caesar's Well, at least it's the closest..." She continued to discribe the well and the legends about it.

Miss-Dreamerkat  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

"All the springs were connected, they shared the same source and that source flowed in to all of the springs. It is something that around the fourth moon cycle would cover the lake in a light blue layer and would become luminescent when the moon rose. It'd change color when it grew closer. It is light, far lighter than water and it rejuvenates you." Kito said.

"There are some sacred springs a short train ride away. Some date back to the druids, in fact. Some are even attributed to be portals to other worlds. I could consult with a friend of mine for guidance as to which are tied to light, or the moon. Then we could pay the most suitable ones a visit ourselves, see if any of them would do. How does that sound, Kito?"

Lewis led Kito through the labyrinthine windings of their journey--navigating the streets, the station, buying tickets, going underground, finding the right train, disembarking at Victoria station and weaving through the crowd, buying more tickets, finding and boarding a different train, and finding their way around Wimbledon until they came, at last, to the Common.

Finally, an expanse of green. Trees of various types. Fresh air. A blessed breeze to the overcast day, free of the stifling crowds. And the sound...of water.

Clear and cool, it seeped forth from the earth into a natural pool. Someone had placed massive granite slabs around, the hewn stone marking this out as a special place, a sacred site to be remembered and kept always.

"This is it," said Lewis. "It's been called many things over the years--Ceasar's Well, Robin Hood Well, Springpond Well. But the one constant in all the books, the songs, the stories passed down through generations, is that its waters heal. It's been here for thousands of years. And it's tied into London's ancient ley lines, so I understand. Ancient Londoners venerated both sun and moon."

(Cool!) Kito had survived the journey keeping his cool as he traveled with Lewis from train to train. In till they reached the spring to which he turned in to his wolf form and began sniffing the air and beamed at Lewis with such strong excitement as he looked from the man to the pool. Clearly saying that this was the one, he then walked up to the spring and walked in to it and submerged himself in to the water. His mask seemed to glow, the lines glowing bright blue and the blue spread over the mask. The wolf emerged changing in to a human. He smiled so widely at Lewis and he looked genuinely thankful to the man.

Ariadne reached for a small rubber bulb-like device and showed it to Kito.

"They'll have to get through me first, Kit. Come on."

Kito glared at the pet name but nodded and followed, he didn't want to deal with another war like the one that probably wiped out his whole village. 'Don't think about that Kito,' he told himself breathing in and out to relax himself while using his nose to follow Adriadne.

Finally reaching the front doors of the Society, Ariadne paused for Kito's sake.

"Do you want a moment... or?"

"No I'm fine," Kito said looking at Adriadne, "Let's go," he said.

Ariadne nodded, and pushed the large doors open, revealing the typical London morning.

"Right, let's see if we can find a cab."

Kito nodded, "And I won't say a word," he said.

Rushing down the steps, Ariadne scanned the street for a carriage. At last she spotted one trotting along up the street.

"Driver! Driver!" she called, and the cab eventually braked to a halt beside the pavement.

Kito walked up beside her and kept quiet and calmed himself down mentally.

The driver leaned over in his seat.

"Hyde Park, quickly." Ariadne ordered him, before opening the carriage door and leapt in.

Kito jumped in after her and sat across from her slightly nervous.

Ariadne, noticing Kito slightly on edge, patted him reassuringly on the knee, and winked. She knocked with a fist on the roof, and the carriage rattled along.

"So what do you do exactly at the Society? I've seen you about, but never really... doing anything in particular."

"I'm sort of there for extra secruity," Kito said, "I have nowhere else to go so I guess I'm just there too."

Ariadne smiled calmly. No idea what a person like Kit could do for security.

"How did you come to this Earth then; if you don't mind my asking?"

Kito's expression darkened, "that's a story I don't want to get in to," he said looking down his ears bent back.

Ariadne shrugged.

"That's quite alright. I don't want to intrude on anything private." she responded. Ariadne tilted her head at the sight of the mask. It was as if she had seen it before, long before she had ever set eyes of Kito. She nodded it off. Ridiculous.

Kito nodded "Thank you," he said unaware of what she was thinking.

After an hour or so, with hardly any other conversation between the two; the carriage at last stopped at the edge of Hyde Park. Getting out, Ariadne turned to face the expectant driver.

"That'll be three pounds, please." the driver requested.

Ariadne didn't have any money at all.

"I'm afraid I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment." she replied.

Kito looked over at her and couldn't help but shake his head. Now they were in trouble unless something happened.

Ariadne eyed Kito and suddenly reached into her pocket.

"Don't worry, you'll be out for an hour or so, unless you've eaten in the past few minutes." Ariadne told the driver, as she took out the bulb-like device.

"What're you talking about?" the driver asked, before Ariadne raised the device directly at him, squeezed it, and a quick burst of white mist shot out of it. The driver coughed, and then collapsed in his seat.

Kito blinked surprised, "That was effective," he said looking over at the park. He eyed it and began sniffing the air. His eyes closed as his ears bent back, he opened his eyes and looked at the park.

Ariadne positioned the driver so that it appeared as if he was taking a small morning nap. Looking back to Kito, Ariadne looked to the park as well.

"Do you think it may be here?" Ariadne asked him.

"Oh." Ariadne replied, looking back at the unconscious driver. "Well, there is Richmond. Do you want to go there?"
