The Buster Cast

The Stone and the SiegeBuster is back, and for once he hasn't gone anywhere in time. He's gone to Ireland.Maya and Dan take on the two videos released in the last 10 days. The Siege of Redford, which goes to 1649 and the loss of the family castle, and Black Jack Dalton, which picks the story up a century later with a smuggler, a ledger and a friend in Dublin Castle.Running through both is an amethyst. A stone an ancestor is said to have owned, which the family has always been told was nothing more than an Irish fairytale. It appears on a woman's neck in a burning castle in 1649. It appears again a hundred years later. And at the end of one of these videos, on a table by candlelight, it glows violet.Which happens to be the colour of the vortex.More lore coming. The creator says the big one is a few weeks out.
