Montaro wasn't as lucky as Rodriguez. He made it out of Drakborough, but he had to venture into the bowels of Firefox in search of the Potions Mistress. He was told that Melia Birchheel had her office in the Dungeons, so that's where he was looking for her but if there was one thing that frightened the man more than iminent zombie invasion: it was a dark dungeon. Frantically looking left and right, the man blundered about hopelessly as he didn't know his way around.
"Senora Birchheel?" called the spaniard into the black gloom. "Are you here Senora? Drakborough is being overrun, our people are in dire need of Las Familias! Senor Forbes is throwing everything he's got at them, but they have the numbers over us and that is why we need your help. Help us Senora: help Espana!"8

Alfonso happened to be visiting his girlfriend, the Charms Professor at Firefox, when he saw a man dash into the castle, and run into the dungeon. The man was calling for his cousin, Melia.
Alfonso followed the man. "Espera! Wait! Senor! Who is invading Drakborough? I'm Alfonso De Quesada of la Familia De Quesada. I will help Espana, but you must tell me who I'm fighting. Is it the Shadows? Is it Angelus Morti? Is it someone else?"8

It was the squawking that awoke her.
Once she quieted down a very annoyed Olufemi, who disliked having her sleep disrupted for any reason (much like her mistress), she was very much awake from her mid-afternoon nap and could hear people shouting in the corridors. That must have been what set the peregrine falcon alarm off. Olli hated turmoil.
Curious now, she slipped a black robe over her head and tucked her wand into her pocket before poking her head out the door. An unruly curl blocked her vision and with an annoyed huff she pushed it back in place before starting down the corridor towards the voices. To her surprise, it was Alfonso and a man she'd never seen before.
"Al?" Her voice was still a big gravelly with sleep, "What's going on? Drakborough is being invaded, am I hearing you correctly?"
She stepped over to his side and tipped her head to the side as she studied the newcomer, "Adhara Naunet, Charms Professor. We can help you."

Turning around quickly, the native-born Montaro came face to face with Alfonso. After he had introduced himself, something changed in Montaro's eyes and he immediately got down on one knee. "Senor Quesada, my apologies for not recognizing you," said Montaro apologtically as he stared down at the floor. "The Angelus Morti has marched from Madrid and the Triangle Tunnel to Drakborough! Forbes is preparing to hold them off as we speak with what is left of the Ministry, but the Inferi are too many. If there are any other members of Las Familias around here, I implore that you find them and have them save Drakborough!"
Montaro sharply turned his head at the sound of footsteps, but he stopped himself when the newcomer had made clear her intentions. "Then if you can help us, help us! Any of the Professors would be useful, but what we really need the Familias and Windwaltz. Forbes sent me to find the Familias and Rodriguez to find Windwaltz: we need help down there right now! Tell anyone else that you think should know about this, but I've done my duty: I must return to the village."
"I wish you the best of luck!" called Montaro over his shoulder as he raced back the way he came. Once he was outside of the Castle, he apperated back to Drakborough.8

Addie looked up at Alfonso, searching his face before asking, "What should we do? Do we tell the rest, or do we go ourselves and look the heroes?"
Her mind was racing. Telling Melia and Talon would mean that once the dust cleared in Drakborough and the Angelus Morti were defeated, Talon and Melia's family would get the credit and Alfonso would once again be shunted to the side. However, spectacular actions and triumphs on her and especially Alfonso's parts would push him further into the limelight and win over more of the Spanish people's love, which in turn would give him a platform for regaining Spain and allowing his family to come out on top. With her at his side, of course.
On the other hand, Melia and Talon were powerful allies and she and Alfonso had no idea what was actually the true situation in Drakborough. If they got there without informing the other two and found that they were over their heads, things could go very badly indeed for everyone.

Alfonso looked at Adhara. "I will go there immediately. You will rally whatever help you can find here and join me. Melia should come, and Munro. He's the Astronomy Teacher." He gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. "I love you, Adhara. I hope you know that." Then he followed after Montaro. He would deal with this problem. The Angelus Morti would be dealt with once and for all.8

"I love you too," she murmured as she watched him leave. It had better not be the last time she saw him, the gravity of the situation was just beginning to catch up with her. There was a battle to be fought.
And it was her job to rally the troops. Quickly, she made her way back to her chambers and scrawled a note before replicating it twice and handing it to Olufemi. She stroked the top of her friend's feathery head and said, "Olli, take these to Melia, Ryder, and Talon. You're faster than I ever could be. And then come watch over me in Drakborough. I may need your help desperately at some point during the night. You're my best friend, sweets, and if any one can protect me you can. But fly safe and fast, you hear?"
Drakborough is under attack from the Angelus Morti. Forbes calls the Familias for aid and Alfonso De Quesada has already left to assist. Spread the word and come to the town. ~Adhara
After sending Olli off with the messages, Adhara turned to examine her room. Several firecrackers, a handful of glass potions bottles, parchment, a quill, ink, string, a shrunken box of all her favorite pranking materials, and a smooth brass ball were all charmed to be feather light and, if necessary, shrunken, to fit into her robe pockets.
Then, wand in hand, all semblance of calm was thrown off as Addie rushed out of her room, through the archway, and off the school grounds before apparating to Drakborough.
