Capítulo 24: Ch-21
September 18th, 1994
Dan-"So I'm going to be a out of contact till at least the 25th and a most the 30th of October I am making a trip to Percy's city for some business and then I'll be visiting Hogsmead to see you."
I was speaking to Rose on our nightly Mirror calls as sadly the hand mirrors don't have enough power behind them for her to contact me.
Dan-"But, I will be sending you something a different kind of spell to message me. So my package with the scroll for you to move to your spell book should be arriving tomorrow, but be aware that it is word limited 25 words per level of strength."
Rose-"Okay…..but please be careful, you haven't told me much about what you are doing over there." She gave me a pleading look, wanting me to tell her more about my secrets.
Dan-"*sigh* I know Rose but this isn't about me not trusting you it's about not trusting those who run your school, But I promise when I return I will explain more."
Rose-"Fine, but you better bring me back a present..also" I then heard Hermione in the background "are you talking to Dan?" "Yeah what up?"
Hermione then pushed Rose over to enter the frame, she not so stealthily wrapped one arm around Rose which I paid no mind to. "Hey Dan sorry to interrupt but, do you know anything about Nargles. Because after working with you my expectations of reality had changed and this sweet girl in Ravenclaw had been talking about them."
Dan-"Not that I am personally aware of but that doesn't mean they are not real I can ask Faye about it she is more knowledgeable about things like that.
Did the young lady say what they look like or what they are doing? Any more information will help even about the young girl."
Hermione-"Well her name is Luna Lovegood, she is a claw but she doesn't have that many friends. But she has been working with Hagrid for the past two years now with the magical creatures.
As for the Nargles she says they steal things from her, lock her out of the tower tho ha like that."
Dan facepalmed and shook his head in his hands, and just gave the girls a look. They just looked at one another for a moment, as the gear began to move in her brain.
Dan-"Well I think I know what's going on, as this sound like the daughter of Xenophilius and Pandora Lovegood both are or were some of the greatest magical researchers and to my knowledge her mother worked with yours for a short time Rose.
But that is beside the point, what this sounds like is the girl is being bullied and doesn't know or has been threatened into not talking to your professors. Or your professors could once again prove to be extremely incompetent in their jobs once again."
Hermione and Rose both let out and "oh….OH." And started talking back and forth about how they didn't notice sooner.
Dan-"Now, if their isn't anything else I have a busy day in the morning. So I love you both and Hermione your parents have asked me to pass along a message, they said to call them more often on the mirror as they have good news."
They both gave me a farewell and a love you too, as for the good news from the Grangers I had a private meeting with them a couple of days ago about the future of the magical and mundane world.
I filled them in about the political turmoil going on and the rising tensions between the mundane and magical world. As at first they thought my self paranoid but as I showed them the increasing fighting in the former Soviet Unions magical communities they agreed they would be moving their practice to the village.
Also their entire house would be teleported to the village so they didn't have to leave the home they raised Hermione in.
Mr. Granger got ahold of some of his former military friends to come in move in as well, they would be joining in on the military we were slowly forming.
None of them would be joining the expedition to Exandria as they hadn't had them to train in anti-magic tactics.
So our expedition comprised of the; HMS Black Prince as the main mode of transport, 80 Regular crew to run and manage the ship itself, 20 mages acting as our main fight force, 3 light and 2 Medium mechs.
We will also be bringing 6 months of supply on high quality rations and a lot of bulk goods I had not been previously been able to trade With.
Like steam tractors, planters, harvester, and military goods from the l860s as with the production facilities underground they have acted as a great test of its capabilities.
So 1,000 Springfield Model 1861s, 10 cannons, and a shit tons of powder from our chemical plants.
In addition to all of this I was bringing one personal gift for Percy a custom built anti-material rifle, and 1,000 rounds of anti material and 50 enchanted explosive rounds that will travel inside of the target then explode.
Of course the rest of Vox Machina will be receiving gifts, as they all will be meeting us upon our entering of the Plane Scape of Exandria.

The entire town was gathered under a very strong invisibility charm to allow them to watch the send off.
The men were all gathered in what many would call outdated uniforms, the naval all dressed wearing uniforms from the 1900s, the mages wearing a mix of a traditional red coat outfit with a series of pouches for spell components.
Myself not wearing any military uniforms as I had not earned one rather a nice suit with hard edges.
After a series of speeches and heart felt goodbyes we all went to our stations, myself in the command deck where I will act as the main beacon that guided the craft through the astral plane while the rest of the men protected us from the horrors of that lived there.
Sitting upon the helm I gave the signal and the Ship once again began to rise into the air under a invisibility charm that only allowed the village to see it as it began to increase in speed till we pierced the atmosphere.
There after a couple of tests we engaged the plane shift drive and entered the astral sea and witnessed is madding hues.
The trip would take 3 days in transit as traveling via the sea is not an exact science, as this is a plane of thought and dreams. And being so close to the Earth we were witnessing the dreams and nightmares of every thinking being on earth as all the physic energy needed to go somewhere.
Do to this the Astral sea "near" the earth was filled with horrors; radiated wastelands filled with monsters from the residual fear of the Cold War, a land of meat and blood from the fear of all the animals slaughtered, a great many giant spider that were bigger than the Black Prince.
This was all seen as we were gunning it through the Astral sea in the gauge direction of Exandria, as during my previous dealings with Percy I gave him a "physic Beacon" which I could focus on during our travels.

On the second day we were in the "middle" of the journey were physic "pollution" of the Earth and Exandria were weakest we began to see signs of less monstrous life.
Nests of more natural animals of the astral sea truly giant sea creatures, that looked like they were from the time of Dinosaurs as one of the guys took a video and picture of a Megalodon.
Tons of samples of floating landmasses were taken as was literal terabytes of video and pictures for study back on Earth.
Sadly on the second night of the journey the watchmen alerted us to an attack, the ship then burst into action as an alarm went off.
Upon taking the helm once again I saw a truly giant angler fish had attempted to sneak up on us.
The ship did a sharp right turn to give the monster a broadside from the 6 inch guns, with a load "BOOM" the sky was filled with the ripple of the shock wave shook of the air of the sea.
Only half of the shots hit but enough damage was done and black blood began to spew from the wounds. Which enraged the monster which charged the ship, then the AA guns of the city set the thing alight.
The AA guns finally killed it and the battle scared enough wildlife away so our journey to Exandria was smooth enough.
