Default Hall of Prophecy


The Hall of Prophecy consists of a pearly white antechamber and a vast and dark long room bearing a resemblance to a large warehouse or perhaps a hangar for storing a muggle aircraft. The staggeringly high shelves of the Hall of Prophecy proper form row after dimly lit row of crystal clear and somewhat bright orbs of varying sized. These small glimmering vessels hold valuable prophecies within them only attainable by the person of whom they speak. Due to it's size and the sheer volume of prophecies recorded and stored within the hall, it is not uncommon for Unspeakables stationed in this room to go for long periods through the day without seeing one another.

The antechamber is quite the opposite. Small, bright and circular, the antechamber seems to only have one door - the one which the rotating room showed you when you spoke the name of this Hall. To find the door into the Hall of Prophecy one must know where to look. Lining the walls are egg shaped pods used by those tasked with evaluating and counseling potential and established Seers.

Along with the Time Chamber and Space, this Hall forms the Unspeakable Triangle of Knowledge.

She had not exactly paid attention to that detail when it had been causing destruction since there had been more pressing things to worry about, like surviving.

When the other employees voices sounded very distant Laurel after a quick glance around nodded quietly in response to Adam's question. "Yes, Airey seemed wrong, weird even to me. It's very unlike him to threaten people."

"Remind me uff ze golem," he asked pulling his wand out of his back pocket. He hadn't been there for that particular activity/event as he had been out because of having a star try to eat him a few months prior. All he remembered about the situation was that Laurel had been very very disturbed by the fact that the golem might still be around. Frankly, when he and Laurel had attempted to find it, he had just been expecting to find a big pile of rocks.

"Fery odd," he replied following Laurel down the rows. He hadn't spent much time with him in the past couple of months. In fact, he made it a point to mostly avoid the man and just do his work. Since he'd decided to go that route, less problems had resulted in both his professional and personal life.

She could barely keep her eyes off the footprints as Mr. Flamsteed started questioning the group of wizards. How could you not they were HUGE. That was until she heard the words “terminate” and “employment”. Hallie refused to be fired within her first week here. She worked too hard to get here.

Her stomach dropped when she realized she would be stuck with her boss. Her eyes widened and she averted her gaze as she started running through scenarios in her head. This could go either one of two ways. She could impress him with her quick thinking and heroic fearlessness, or she could do something dreadfully embarrassing that would result in her getting sacked.

She shifted her weighted back and forth between her feet and fiddled with her sleeves as one by one her fellow Unspeakables split off in different directions until she was left alone with her department head. Taking a deep breath to try and calm her nerves Hallie motioned forward, “After you sir.” She took her wand out of her pocket and lifted her chin to look into Mr. Flamsteed in the eyes, “I’m afraid I’m not familiar with the layout of the department yet.”

Jane had reached the end of Row 63 by now and held up her wand. She turned and looked over her shoulder to see if Catherina was behind her. If she could take up a position at the end of Row 62 and they both proceeded together, they might be able to corner the--whatever it was.

Stopping to repair an orb Laurel looked back at Adam, trying to remember what the rock golem had looked like since it was a year or so ago now. "Airey had us practicing spells on numerous plush pillows if i remember right, but then something went awry and the pillows turned into rocks that took the shape of a 2 feet tall black golem with red eyes and big rock feet that attacked us. It was scary. It destroyed a lot of department property before it just up and dissapeared." Laurel started to walk down the rows again listening for sounds looking out for more footprints and other signs of the culprit. The golem still disturbed her sometimes.

"I wonder what has gotten into Airey, do you think we should call him out on his odd behaviour?" Laurel wondered. She didn't want either of them to lose their jobs for showing that they cared, but it was hard to know when Airey was acting so strangely.

Catherina nodded at Jane and took her place at the end of Row 62. She could hear everyone else's footsteps echoing through the cavernous hall.

Keeping her aloft, with its soft white light illuminating her path, the witch marched on. She heard Laurel and Adam mention the possibility of a rogue rock golem - though, she did not know why a rock golem would be there of all places. But she decided to give it a shot

"Come out, come out not-so-little rock golem" She called out. It usually worked on her daughter's dogs at home - maybe it'll work here, right?

Rock golem? Hmmm....Jane supposed that could be possible; they were certainly destructive enough, though it seemed likely that a rock golem of any size would have destroyed the whole Hall by, shelving and all, and not just some of the orbs. At any rate, they wouldn't know for sure until they found it.

Jane saw Catherina in place by Row 62 with her lighted want raised. Jane turned back and raised her own wand and murmured, "Lumos!" With the two wands lighting both rows, Jane peered down at the end, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever was there, or at least its shadow.

Booming footsteps that had once been echoing further away now sounded to be looming closer...and closer and closer until the massive creature stepped out right in to the light coming from the one Unspeakable's [MadAlice] wand.


"GRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

The call rattled the prophecy orbs on the surrounding shelves. One of its mighty arms raised high, knocking into a shelf that rocked dangerously on its edges, and came down with a swipe towards the light.

It did not like it. It did not like it one bit!

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

Jane leaped back as she saw the massive arm coming down towards her wand and evaded it just in the nick of time, though the break in her concentration caused the light to go out.

Moving quickly back toward the end of the row, she shouted, I found it!!! It's coming down Row 63!"

Then she cast a physical shield charm in front of her.

Once again, Adam was reminded that for once in his unlucky life he had been blessed not to have been at this particular event. Still, it had been funny that the thing had disappeared into the bowls of the Department of Mysteries. And disappeared it had done because Laurel and Adam had spent more than a few free afternoons trying to locate the darn thing with no results. Perhaps it had wandered into the space room and floated off to be eaten by the star that had attempted to make lunch out of him?

Should they call Airey out on the stranger behavior? "Ja. If ze opening presents itself." Adam was not about to start a fight with the man, but should he yell at them again like he had near the opening, well, Adam wasn't above defending himself...and Laurel. His other coworkers? Well, they might be on their own. He wasn't exactly the knight in shinning armor type after all.

And then there was a weird noise started the shake the shelves. The glass orbs sounded loud as they rattled in their stands, but maybe that was just because Adam's hearing had become more sensitive with the loss depletion of his sight. Adam reached out grabbing Laurel's arm. Row 63. Where were they? "Laurel?" he asked.

Had she wasted countless hours looking for the rock golem after it had disappeared? Most definitely and Laurel was still disturbed by it. The rock golem haunted her visions even if she hadn’t shared that with anyone aside from her husband. Blinking, she glanced sideways at Adam and nodded. "Hopefully we’ll find the right time when Airey is in a good mood." And not when he was irritable and weird like he was currently.

Her Inner Eye started to tingle warningly just before the growling noise of something reached her ears. Could it be? Laurel didn’t get the chance to finish the thought before the shelves around them started to shake uncontrollably and the orbs began to rattle in their stands. More growling was heard and also Jane’s panicked voice. Taking a new grip on her wand just as Adam grabbed on to her arm she exclaimed. "It’s the golem! It’s back Adam, hurry! We need to go help the others." And with that Laurel started to jog towards row 63 dragging Adam along with her. Shouting ahead she called out "Jane, don’t anger it! The golem don’t like lights."

"Yes, I've noticed that. Perhaps you all could make your way over to Row 63--fast." Hopefully the other Unspeakables would wrap up their conversation and join her and Catherina, and hopefully they knew something about this--whatever it was.

Catherina heard Jane before she even spotted the golem - which was surprising considering that the thing was HUGE. The Unspeakable quickly made her way towards Jane, wand trained on the ground - illuminating her path.

But, at Laurel's warning, she wordlessly extinguished her light with a quick "Nox", effectively plunging her into darkness. She ran towards the dark figure of the rock golem, stopping just beside what she assumed was Jane with her shield charm, waved her wand in a triangular motion, and wordlessly cast 'Bombarda'.

She had wanted to try Reducto, to reduce surrounding damage, but didn't know if it would work against a rock golem. She hoped Laurel and Adam reached them before either the golem could kill them - or worse, before Mr. Flamsteed reached them.

No. It did not like the light.

Gleaming red eyes darkened menacingly as the golem lunged forward once again, this time following the sound of the annoying squeaking humans.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

Massive hands slammed against the floor, the very person it had wished to squish [Mad Alice] slipping quite literally between its fingers. The Unspeakable, who was now sandwiched between the creatures index and middle finger, would not have been spared by the Shield Charm cast. The golem had grown far too powerful and resilient to such basic forms of magic.

Slowly straightening to strike again, the bright flash of the Exploding Charm hurtling in its direction was noted and another loud angry growl hurtled back in that Unspeakable's [mellamaet] direction. But charm struck true but did little damage. Nothing but a flesh wound to it's bicep and a small puff white feathers that then rained down upon the two women.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

The golem now took a swipe at the spot it had seen the flash of light.

Adam stumbled along as Laurel pulled him. He didn't fight her physically, but mentally he was wondering why they weren't running in the other direction. His raspberry wand was slippery in his hand and he tightened his grip on it. He was trying to remember what phase of the moon they were in, because Adam's core was very temperamental when it came to charms and curses and hexes. Frankly one of the few things it was good at was potion brewing. Pretty much like it's owner.

He skidded to a halt, sensing movement he couldn't see. He tugged back on Laurel's arm pulling her back just as the some feathers flittered down. "Rremind me - vill zis place be ze deazz uff me?" he asked turning towards what sounded like the golem. He pointed his wand at it. "Schtupefy," he said pointing his wand at the golem.

Yes...which would it be, Miss Saunders? More likely, given the man's nature as of late, it would be neither. Though indifference would be a victory at this point.

"As long as you know the way to and from the chamber you are assigned to, that will be sufficient," he said rather coldly as he pulled out his wand and proceeded forward. It was not too long before he heard the angry growling coming from a few aisles over, followed soon by the confirmation of the other Unspeakables shouting to one another. This was so tedious. "Quickly," he hissed at the younger woman as he sped off towards the direction of spells being cast. His steps quick, he felt the almost pulsing presence of another wand in his enchanted breast pocket and was soon returning the initial wand to the pocket and pulling out his other wand.

This surely would make quick work of things.

"Stand aside!" he barked at those in direct line of fire to his own wand whose thestral hair core he could feel singing in anticipation of obeying its master. His ferocious and icy blue eyes honed in on the golem, or at least its dark outline against the gleam of the prophecy orbs, and gave his wand an elegant flourish. "Confringo," he hissed as a brilliant explosion of fiery orange light erupted from his wand.

Jane hadn't expected the shield charm to do much more than buy her some time to move away and cast something better. But the creatures hand wasn't even slowed down by it, and she had very nearly gotten crushed beneath it. Fortunately she was very quick on her feet and had wasted no time in moving away from the huge hand and her last position. Catherina's charm didn't do much damage to it, either, but Jane did have something unusual she had learned at the Institute that she was planning to try, as soon as she had clear aim.

But before that happened, she heard Flamsteed cast his own spell and so she stood back and waited to see the result before interfering.

"We're coming as fast as we can Jane. Hang tight and don't do anything stupid." Laurel called as she jogged even faster. Moments later she skidded to an abrupt halt by Adam's hand as she watched how some feathers flittered down from somewhere above near Jane, Catherina, and most importantly the attacking golem, that she had dreamt one too many dreams about.

Laurel shook her head vigorously at her bestie in the department. "No, you will not die here Adam, not if i can prevent it." She would do her absolute best to get them all out of this unscathed. Turning her attention and wand at the growling golem Laurel casted fiercly "Glacius Maxima!" at the rock golem hoping that some ice could put a stop to it. It was about that time that Airey arrived to bark orders with Jane in tow. Grabbing a hold of Adam's arm again Laurel pulled them both back, and safely out of the way of Airey's spell casting. Who knew how the golem would react to all their spells. Time would tell.

There wasn’t much time to dwell on the aloof and unapprociable behavior of her boss. They hadn’t made it much further into the hall when a deep and booming roar reached their ears. Hallie felt herself jump before she quickly lept into action at the sound of Airey’s command. She raced off after him so as not to get lost and when he finally came to a stop Hallie couldn’t believe what was standing in front of her. The rock golem was massive and only seemed to be getting more displeased as time passed and each spell cast.

Hallie instinctively held up her wand but before she could cast any spell. Airy and another Unspeakables wand’s light up as incantations were spoken. Best to wait and see how the beast responds.

Ice could be nice. Just not in this particular situation.

While the Freezing Spell did manage to entrap the golem's feet for a moment, its brute strength was too much and with a few firm wiggles that preceded a hash kick, the golem sent shards of ice in every which direction. Some even imbedded themselves in the surrounding shelves.

What struck next, however, was nothing the golem could have defended itself against.

The crisp fiery orange light struck the beast square in the chest and caused it to stumble back a bit. Its massive body teetering and looking as though it may fall back against one of the tall displays holding countless precious orbs, a potential to cause more damage than had already been done, the golem opened its mouth to roar once more when suddenly...

PWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF


...it exploded in a downpour of feathers and cotton, the innards of what once had been a small collection of rock pillows from the Decompression Chamber. Bits fell between orbs on the shelves, on heads, wafted up noses, and just generally made an otherwise harmless mess in the Hall of Prophecy.

|| Laura's walking popcorn || Lermaniac || Tazzie's Sugar || Mrs. Henderson

Standing behind a carefully conjured shield charm, Catherina stood back as the other Unspeakables arrived and tried their hand at their apparently-not-so-new friend, the rock golem. Her Bombarda had managed to damage it, but not as much as she had wanted - and she hoped that the others would have more luck.

Watching as Lauren's magically conjured ice was shattered - Catherina moved to try another exploding charm - maybe a stronger variant this time - when Mr. Flamsteed arrived, hissed out a confringo, and watched as the golem was reduced to mere rock pillows.

That was a bit anticlimactic. A relief certainly, but anticlimactic all the same. It seemed too much of an easy win? Still, she knew that if she said anything about it - she will most likely end up losing her job.

So, instead, the blonde waved away her magical shield, and began waving her wand towards some of the destroyed pillows that now surrounded the shelves - like some weird version of snow, casting a quick 'Evanesco' as she went.

As she did so, she glanced at Lauren, Adam, and Jane and asked "You guys ok? Is anyone hurt?"

Jane had been afraid to use Confringo for fear it might cause even more damage to the orbs, but instead, the golem had just dissolved into feathers and cotton. Interesting...she would remember that. She was almost disappointed she hadn't had a chance to see if her alchemical spell would have worked, but she was mostly relieved that this rather problem had been solved. Except for the cleaning up.

"No, fine here," she responded to Catherina's inquiry, and joined her into trying to clean up the debris (something she had become rather good at after working as a governess the past few years). Then she had a sudden thought and turned to the other woman. "What about the broken orbs--can anything be done for them, or are they all lost forever?"

He stumbled as Laurel pulled him. His spell seemed to have shot off target. He hoped that it didn't hit any one or anything important.

He regained his feet just as he heard Airey shoot off a spell. He knew that spell and if it hit and was successful..."Laurel look out," He reached for Laurel, turning them both so that any rubble would hit him and not her. She, after all, had babies to look after and having lost his own mother young, he didn't want that to happen to someone else. A shield charm might have worked better, but it didn't occur to him. (There was a reason he worked with potions after all!)

But as he braced for rubble to hit him, all that made contact was fluff. He let go of Laurel and looked up to see feathers floating around them. One landed on his face and he sneezed, loudly. "Vell," he said rubbing his nose and looking very embarrassed. "You vere right. Deazz did nicht klaim me." today he added mentally.


He looked around, eyes staring off to the left of everyone. "Eferyone alife?" he called.

Ice shards momentarily showered down around them as Hallie instinctively threw up her arms to block her face from being pelted. But only moments later she saw Mr. Flamsteed’s spell hit its target and the young Unspeakable only barely had enough time to take cover behind a display shelf before the rock Gollum exploded burst into a heap of feathers and fluff. Huh, harmless really…

Hallie slowly shuffled out to the spot where the rock golem had once been, shaking ice crystals out of her hair and taking in the damage that had been done. She registered the inquiries of her fellow coworkers and responded, “Alive and well with all my parts still attached.” Examining some of the orb fragments closer she shook her head in bewilderment. “How does a rock golem get into the Department of Mysteries?” she questioned aloud to no one in particular. Hallie herself had all but gotten lost.

Jane paused in her cleaning up when she heard the question. "How, indeed. It's nearly impossible that a rock golem could wander in here on its own, but this one--the way it fell apart into feathers and...and stuffing. It was obviously artificially created, and the question is, who made it and why did they put it in here?"

Feathers? Cotton?

What kind of circus was this Ministry running?

Though the man had little time to dwell on his annoyance with golem situation and instead his icy blue eyes drifted down to the wand in his hand. In just on spell and one go he had taken down the magical entity that appeared to have been fortified by the kinetic magical forces clinging to the air of this department. And while he cared not for the shattered orbs, the one Unspeakable's question did provoke another curiosity.

With an almost bored air about him, the department head gave his wand another tight flourish and cast Reparo upon the shattered pieces of orb at his feet...and to his astonishment saw that the shards and tendrils of smoke reversed course and drew together once more so that the floor was not littered with prophecy records. "These will all need returned to their shelves," he directed calmly, his eyes lingering only for a moment on the floor before returning to the wand which he then nuzzled against his cheek and promptly returned it to his enchanted breast pocket. "I will attend to the rest on my way out. I expect everything back on the shelves and recatalogued by the end of the day if you lot expect to keep your jobs."

As for the rock golem itself and why it was here, he cared not. The wand in his possession could make quick work of anything else that may manifest itself here. A wand he had every intention of keeping for himself. No need to hand it over to Lucien now. The wand was his own.

"Get to it," he growled, snapping his head around as a final warning to the assembled Unspeakables before beginning his exit and brandishing his wand here and there to repair any other shattered orbs that may be on the floor.
