The Seven Sisters
The team take a train from Whitby to London, Marco and Johann considered dealing with the Five Rings agents but decided that disappointing them was enough.
The Full Moon dominates London as Sinclair?s sword is handed to the Craven Foundation. Felicity tells them that there are rumours of ?embroidery? based magic in Dover and Horace Parker of the Foundation is investigating. 
Once in Dover they discover that a local mystic, Marian Simpson, has gone mad. The recent increase in magical ability has trapped the doors of her perception open and she is a gibbering wreck. Some ?Harley Street? doctors are investigating. Lyris uses music to calm the woman. She tells them that she saw a winged creature under a hill, an iris of power and group of witches casting magic near the cliffs. Then she sleeps.
The Harley Street doctors turn out to be agents of the sinister Golden Dawn. One creepy researcher, Thaddeus Icabod Crane, an x-bow armed thug (with lovely bolts for killing magical beasts) and a scientist. Marco overhears about their search for The Trio. The three witches on the Seven Sisters are the obvious target. The Iris is inland. The tomb is just beyond the castle. Icabod unnerved by Lyris, in nurse mode, when he comes calling for his ?patient?. The dragon needs blood and gold. Shakespearean scene on the cliffs
Three witches prepare to complete their usual ritual. The team heads for the Seven Sisters. They are not the first. .
?Who approaches.??We are friends and allies, Sister!.??There are many that claim that, who are you.??Dr T.I. Crane of the Golden Dawn.??The Dawn are traitors and renegades! Come no further wretch!?. Nell scouts ahead while Lyris plays. Marco opens fire! Icabod dives for cover. Johann cages the others. The ancient order of witches that swore to defend England.s shores desperately try to complete their ritual as x-bow bolts fly. The thug is shot by Marco. Icabod is pin-cushioned! Dr Franklin is understandably keen to cooperate. The coven members explain that Templar threatened then in the 1880s. The maiden admits having funny turn at the local RFC base. A training airfield that doubles as a place for testing tactics for zeppelin hunting. The Coven and Horace join the party for tea. The story thrills and amazes Horace and he agrees to keep an eye on the dragon.
The party arrive at the RFC base disguised as a delegation from the Red Cross. The children simply extend their plan onto the airfield and explore. French cricket soon attracts pilots. Nell thinks two of the pilots have potential but neither are heroes. The Anglo-Saxon Great Hall turns out to have unusual panelling. The fabric of the chamber is partly made of the remnants of the Round Table. The whole place oozes fellowship! Squadron Leader Duncan Macintyre happy to assist the delegation. The party enquire about locals and when they explore the cottages at the end of the airfield they discover the infant Arthur blissfully watching the aircraft take off. Arthur Drake. Nell looks him in the eye and delighted when he blinks in recognition and laughs. He is even happier when Nell sings while Lyris plays a ballad.
Arthur's mum seems like a nice lady and next door another veteran hero, Regimental Sergeant Major Alan McKay of the Black Watch Rtd (Cai) seems set to become the boy?s protector. Marco buys the cottages to ensure that the rent stays cheap. Dr Franklin is sent to the Craven Foundation. The Foundation adopts the witches.
