Editing Maricica (section)

===Summer Squabbles===

[[Daniel Alitzer]] sought a way back into the [[Faerie Courts]] and attacked [[Guilherme]] and heavily wounded Maricica which necessitated a move into the background. This was likely a planned move that let her operate in the background more directly.<!--Guil brings this up when talking about fauna ephemera-->

She continued duties at kennet and seemed to be deliberitly setting things up so bad things happened, inviting in speicifc allies like [[Lis]].

When the [[Raphael Tindall]] invaded Kennet Maricica countered [[Guilherme|Guilherme's]] attempts to nudge the witch Hunter to a more favorable location.<ref>A lot of people on two sides of the Witch Hunter probably influenced the direction the man took as he saw the opportunity to pull away, heading out toward the river, southwest.<br><br>Toadswallow inhaled, deep, and the summer glitter was heavy in the air. Beneath and behind it, close to that family and the man with black hair who had interrupted Guilherme’s maneuvers… the musk of dark fall.<br><br>The game was afoot.<br><br>The Witch Hunter had no idea how two factions were using him.

Lucy turned away, walking, without looking at the aftermath.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/04/20 Excerpt] from [[One After Another 10.3]]</ref>

She broke [[Charles Abrams|Charles]] out of captivity whilst he was being held prisoner at the [[Blue Heron Institute]] by smuggling [[Seth Belanger|Seth]] magic items.<ref>- [[Break 1]]</ref>

After Charles became the [[Charles Abrams|Carmine Exile]] he turned her into an [[Abyss|abyssal]] [[Deities|goddess]] after being pierced through the heart with a railroad spike.<ref>“Basically.  Obliterated most of what she is, kept a few key things.  She’s naked still.  I guess if you’re going to keep something about your old self, being an unashamed nudist is one way to go.”<br><br>...<br><br>“Maricica.  She was once a Faerie, but, uh, certain flows have gone certain ways, helped by a Carmine that’s not even being careful about spending what he’s got.  She got speared in the heart with an Abyssal railroad spike…”<br><br>...<br><br>“Uh, Maricica.  If you become Lord, then before you can even abdicate, you’re liable to get dethroned by her.  She’s Abyssal, and uh, she’s a goddess now.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/04/02/gone-and-done-it-17-z/ Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.z]]</ref>
