       By: Beralai Date: February 4, 2014, 8:56 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Beralai watched with a suppressed smile as Ambrosia whisked the
       coin away, admiring it before letting Medea have it. He tilted
       his head a fraction as he watched her go off, wondering what had
       piqued her curiosity. His penetrative gaze catching the back of
       Medea, seeing her start walking along some tracks and he moved
       forward to catch up, realizing that they were going to take a
       different route; hopefully for discretion for entrance, and not
       an ambush. How they were treating and talking to him, he doubted
       the latter, but one could never be too careful. His eyes
       watching the back of her head, seeing her gaze go out to the
       forest as his eyes followed, searching in vain for what she was
       seeing.
       After a moment, he gave up, figuring she was lost in though.
       With how she conducted herself earlier, the air of certainty and
       knowing, it was lost now. He had to avert his eyes for a moment,
       staring at the ground for fear of picking up more information
       than that. His eyes caught how tightly she had been gripping
       onto his coin, as if it was the only anchor she had left to this
       world. This intrigued and worried him. She had held such
       confidence earlier, and now she seemed as brittle as dry wheat,
       ready to break from that change of wind. He inhaled through his
       nose, his eyes closing for a moment as he focused, pushing all
       in his mind to the wind. Death's Embrace was near. He opened his
       eyes, realizing that someone was about to to pass, if they had
       not been taken with the wind's current already.
       Beralai continued to follow her through the different tracks and
       tunnels, easily memorizing the route to himself as they wandered
       through, taking a note of the quick right after the last tunnel.
       Beralai nodded his head to her as she smiled to him. His prying
       eyes seeing the (although well hidden) pain within her eyes. He
       listened, smiling to himself as she told him to be as stealthy
       as possible. He withdrew his blade from it's sheathe, doing so
       slowly and deliberately to show he was not doing so
       threateningly. As the blade escaped it's prison within the
       sheathe, the light around Beralai noticeably shifts and bends
       until he was no longer in view. The blade playing with the
       natural light, shifting how other's perceive the light around
       him, rendering him "invisible." "Not being noticed is my
       specialty." A hint of amusement within his voice.
       He went before her, following her through the corridor's until
       coming upon a door. He watched her hesitate for a moment, a
       thought crossing his mind about what could be in there. Was it
       the winds of change he smelled earlier? Or something else? He
       went in first at her prompt. His eyes taking in the room in a
       moment, taking notice of what lay where. Where any available
       doors or windows were, and any possible threats. Beralai watched
       as she went about her room, searching rather frantically he
       thought before coming to a closed door. Watching her open  the
       door, he knew what she saw just as well as if he'd seen it
       himself. Her eyes widening, the pupil dilation of recognition
       and the pain. He watched as she disappeared from view into the
       bathroom. Wondering what he should do.
       It occurred to him, that now may not have been the best time to
       make a voyage, at least, to this Keep. A member of the family is
       dead. He's an unknown person, who could be very easily blamed
       for her death from the paranoia of the the King alone. He
       sighed, leaving his blade in his hand to keep him concealed from
       any onlookers. He made his way to the bathroom door and looked
       inside for a moment, wondering what was happening. He watched as
       she began to obsessively clean. The smell of venom and blood
       assaulting his senses and he glanced away, more out of respect
       than revulsion.
       He placed his blade within his sheathe, walking away from the
       bathroom as he snapped back into visibility. His eyes taking in
       a more detailed runover of the room. His gaze catching what he
       knew to be different toxins and poisons, mainly from their
       smell. A small curve of his lip in a smile, he turned away. He
       left the world of toxins a long time ago, they no longer suiting
       his needs. After a good moment, he sat himself near the window
       of the room. Allowing himself a quick exit if necessary.
       Finally Medea came back out, he could see how numb she looked.
       Drained, vitality gone. His heart pained to see the hurt.
       Knowing the pain all to well of finding a family member dead. He
       shook his head at her statement, his voice soft and reassuring.
       "You don't owe me a thing, Miss Medea. But I am here to listen,
       if you would like to talk." His gaze catching her's at the end
       of the statement.

       The cherry dress that clung to her figure seemed to get tighter
       by the minute; seemed to make breathing harder, like the air had
       to overcome an obstacle or figure it's way through a puzzling
       maze before reaching her lungs; she needed to get out of the
       ball gown that now seemed ridiculous to wear so with the
       heaviest of hearts and the most dismal of strolls she finds
       herself at her cupboard, almost instantaneously reaching for the
       darkest item of clothing she owned; a black dress – not only
       fitting the occasion, but her ambiance also.
       Though she had taken the task upon herself to clean her sisters
       body and the proof she had left behind, it still hadn't dawned
       on Medea that the barer of wind had departed from this
       clandestine life they lived and she knew the time would come
       where it would hit; the pain would devour her heart wholly; it
       will be worse than the strikes of a thousand swords and so she
       looks over at Beralai with an overwhelmed sigh and nods,
       silently. The typically outspoken, confident woman was
       speechless, for once in her life and pouring her heart out to
       the stranger before her seemed like a the most rational thing
       right now, but how could she vocally describe the extent to
       which she felt worthless?
       The frock that she wore seemed silly now and being
       unappreciative of the fine things she owned, Medea grasps her
       crimson gown before nodding in the direction of the bathroom.
       "Let me get changed. . . I might just take you up on that." Her
       words were still tinted with that trademark humor, despite the
       situation, before heading into the bathroom slowly. As she takes
       the garment off, a little weight is lifted from her, enough to
       make breathing a little easier, but was this really due to the
       dress or her finally accepting her sisters passing away? She
       stares, for a moment at her true, naked form, furrowing her
       brows at her dull reflection, only to watch it do the same. What
       was she expecting; the mirror to defy her mood and lift her lips
       into a smile? Shaking her head at her own absurdity, she slips
       the black dress on, also letting her hair down, watching it hang
       over her shoulder in small loose curls as it frames her face,
       before making her way out, shutting the door closed after
       looking over the resting body in the tub, and taking her place
       on a singular settee only a few inches from the man. She was now
       not the busy woman fretting over her sisters, but a calm Medea
       not many people got to see.
       "I don't even know where to start. . . "A faint smile depicts
       her disheartened nature before she lets the memories of her
       mother, and sisters cloud her vision, taking her time with her
       words, her tone sad and longing almost, for the childhood she
       never got to have.
       "Life, is really cruel, Beralai." His name slipped from her lips
       as if he had been a long lost friend. "It took my mother, and
       now my sister. I was only a child back then, but life didn't
       care; she placed on me burdens that a ten year old couldn't
       handle back then, she gave me responsibilities and priorities
       and while Helena helped a lot, there was always something
       missing, you know?" Her heart beat in her chest rapidly, cheeks
       a flushing red as the wonderful montage of her mother and
       siblings was disrupted by the king, the mighty Achelous;
       irritating Medea. "Her death took its toll on all of us,
       especially the king; it's the sole reason for the gates around
       the land. He doesn't let us see what is outside of this world,
       what magnificent things there are, that are far beyond our
       imaginations because he thinks it to be dangerous. My sneaking
       you in could get me in trouble, but. . ." Her eyes try to
       pinpoint his, the mask not letting her do so, "I do not regret
       it the slightest."
       Taking a deep breath, she leans back, the smile that had
       occupied her lips during the speech widening a little; though
       she hadn't interacted with foreigners, anyone would see that
       Medea had a charm to her, a charm unlike any other. She let it
       fall into her tone, her movements, her sharp sapphire gaze. "It
       is the reason Mia took her life, but let's not dwell on that, I
       don't want you to feel out of place. Tell me of the things
       outside my world and in yours?" It was a question and a
       statement all the same; Medea wanted to know of his life, of who
       he is, of what he is, of why and how Beralai had come upon their
       lands; ignoring the constant worry in her heart as she awaits
       his answer.
       She wanted to delve into a fantasy that he would create; the
       woman wanted out of this trapped room and as she gazes at the
       male only a few inches away, she wishes she could see him for
       what he truly is, not covered by pieces of cloth or a mask, but
       his true form; Beralai, himself.

       Helena would have intervened; getting between Medea and Beralai
       for her obvious disregard for father's wishes in sneaking the
       man in. She would have expected the guards to stop them quickly,
       but in all of the fuss - or just pure laziness- they haven't
       seem to notice her actions with the man. Helena was distracted
       by the sudden feeling of loss that loomed through the air;
       death, despair, pain, yet the feeling of freedom and happiness.
       There was a happiness within the air, though Helena always
       seemed to find the idea of death as a happy affair; it wasn't
       sad and somber for the ones who died, only the people who were
       left behind. Turning around, she came face to face with her
       passed sister: Mia. She looked happy, yet  pained as well. She
       got to return with mother, yet left her sisters behind; such a
       double edged sword. "Go. Be with her. Get to see the wonderful
       woman we have learned to love and embrace. We're sorry you
       haven't had the chance to know her; which makes this death
       strange to us." The woman said to her sister's spirit before
       whisking her hands and absorbing a piece of her. "You don't feel
       what you've done was right, but you also felt that you had to do
       it. You were sad, depressed, lonely? You felt that death was a
       release from your daily torment? Now, the people you left behind
       feel like you did...Go forth.." She said as Mia's spirit
       vanished.
       There, Helena was on the other side, awaiting the passing of
       Mia. The land was dark and cold, yet held a certain happiness to
       it. "People like to say that death is the end. The end all be
       all; nothing more. But, here, we see it as a new beginning, a
       new life. Do not be afraid, Mia... We're not happy with your
       decision, but we cannot judge you. We can only send you to where
       you belong in your new life.." After she spoke, Helena waved her
       hand painting the canvas of darkness into a wide wilderness;
       trees, grass, mountains, and even streams as far as the eye
       could see. The sun was bright, but not too hot, the breeze was
       perfect and even whipped and whirled around the awe-inspired Mia
       as if inviting it's mistress home. "You will not be alone here,
       you will be happy here; no more will you worry about Father and
       his kingdom, for you will have your own.." She told her sister;
       her voice a ghastly tone. "She's here, Mother..." Helena said,
       reaching out and seemingly grasping a woman out of thin air by
       the hand. It was still so soft and warm; she could remember the
       feeling of these hands wiping the hair from her face. The lips
       pressing so firmly upon her forehead before backing away. The
       resemblance was uncanny; for Helena favored mother the most in
       facial features, but Medea in body. Liah in eyes and Mia in
       hair... (Correct me if I'm wrong. :P )
       The woman stepped out toward Mia; her gaze was affectionate and
       warming. Tears streamed down the woman's eyes as she pulled Mia
       into a tight embrace before pulling Helena into one as well.
       They hugged for what seemed to be hours; though in this realm,
       time does not exist. "Peace be with you both. We're sorry,
       Mother..." She said to her mother and young sister before
       returning back to the world of the living. Mia and Mother will
       live on happily, awaiting for the others to come and join them
       for the rest of eternity. But for now, she would await her turn
       to travel to the endless void of death for good.
       The crowd, of course -people who always thought Helena was
       strange and scary anyway- would no doubt see her talking to
       'nothing'. But they didn't dare say anything, else they meet
       their demise in the strangest of ways soon after; especially in
       the mood Helena has been in today. Turning to make her way back
       into the castle in which she would return to her room. If anyone
       needed her, they would know where she was located. The soft
       frills upon the bottom of her dress seemed to dance in a subtle
       wind that no one else could feel, her dark hair roamed and
       bounced as well. She didn't see any of her sisters as she made
       her way to the castle; only the one lady who always seemed to
       drool over her father's presence, which caused Helena's lips to
       curl into a snarl as she passed by. As she made her way inside,
       Helena headed to her room; this festivities had taken a dark
       turn and lost all of it's importance. Not only with her father's
       proclamation and her sister's death, which to Helena, wasn't as
       sad as others had thought it to be.

       And then, like an angel expulsed from heaven Del’or appeared.
       What would she do without Del’or by her side? Never ‘there’ but
       as accessible as oxygen itself. All that Calliah had to do was
       think of that beautiful lack of existence and in the blink of an
       eye there she was. Holding on to her with a cool grip that
       Calliah was glad to be the only one to –almost- feel. A
       blindfolded face that only Liah could visualize and even change
       if she wanted to, but why would she do such a thing? Del’or had
       the privilege of being whatever she wanted to be and was quite
       beautiful.
       With a sigh Calliah continued to walk away from the festivity,
       lifting her free hand to place it gingerly over her shadow’s. A
       gesture that to others would look as if Calliah were pressing a
       hand over her own wrist since there was no one besides her. In
       this plane of existence, Del’or was nothing but a two
       dimensional print. Sometimes a dark mist, others a mirage. A
       ghost, for the simple minded. “My dear Del’or, I just heard
       something horrid from one of my sister’s shadows… Mia’s to be
       exact and… and it said that she was planning to end her life. I
       am not sure if I should believe it or… or what should I do. I
       will most definitely go talk to Medea about this.” Calliah
       continued to walk as far away from the population as possible.
       Heading towards the chapel since it was the only place where she
       truly felt at peace. Talking to ‘herself’ out loud without
       caring if someone would see or hear what she were talking about.
       People rarely acknowledged her presence. “If there is someone
       who knows what to do, it is mother-in-a-jar… But Del… My sweet
       Del… Should I maybe confront Mia first? Should I ignore what
       that shadow said? You know how treacherous shadows can be some
       times. Especially one who is tied to one of my loved ones. They
       know that I can’t just feed them to you or pry them away without
       hurting the other… My heart is so heavy Del’or… I do not know
       what else I could possibly do---“ But just then, another shadow
       appeared around the corner. The dark silhouette of a female
       clearly printed on the wall, the difference was that there was
       no one who could have produced this shadow. This new shadow
       boomed in her head. Her tone was stern and authoritarian,
       belonging to someone of power. ‘Mistress Calliah, Medea seeks
       your assistance. She needs a diversion, something to keep one of
       the guards at bay.’  Hmm, well this was interesting. “Show me.”
       Demanded the woman and extended a hand towards the shadow,
       watching it quickly detach from the wall and start to crawl up
       the veins. Making them look like if her blood were coagulating.
       A dark substance that continued crawling up the female’s
       forearm, arm, shoulders, a side of her neck, one of Calliah’s
       cheeks and finally reaching the little veins over the white of
       her eyes. Forcing her eyes to turn completely dark and only then
       she could see what the shadow had witnessed. The masked man. Her
       sisters united. Medea inviting interesting male into their
       kingdom. The annoying guard. Finally her eldest sister commanded
       the shadow to look for Calliah. The third eldest closed her eyes
       for a few seconds, when she opened them? They were back to
       normal and the shadow was gone. “Let us go Del’or. I would like
       you to resemble the shadow of a male. Strong and defined enough
       so that he could see you from his post. I will run towards his
       post and you can follow me as if you were seeking to do me harm.
       I am sure all that Medea needs is for the man to turn his back
       if even for a second. She is pretty quic---“ But just then the
       stench of death and the stillness of the wind made the hairs on
       the back of her neck raise up like a scared feline. And her
       world? Her world froze.
       One… Two… Three… The wing started to blow again ever so subtly,
       as if mourning.
       “Mistress Calliah!! Miss Calliah!! She did it!! Come quick
       because she did it! She ended her life.”
       Oh, no…
       For a second she hesitated. Taking a step forwards and two step
       back. What… What in the world could she do? “I am… I… We… The…”
       What could she do?! Her mind could not process the news. One
       didn’t need to have special powers to feel the heavy weight of
       death that was poured over the kingdom. One didn’t need to be a
       clairvoyant to foresee what was going to happen next… All that
       she could do was press a hand to her stomach, pinch one of her
       virgin earlobes and start to tug it like she used to do a long
       time ago. When certain mannerisms started to appear after their
       mother’s death. Usually triggered by stressful situations or
       strong emotions. Accompanied by heavy stuttering or twitches.
       Little actions that she could overcome with the help of her
       sisters and with the patience of time. Medea taught her to hold
       her breath, count to ten and slowly take a breath. That helped
       with her stuttering since it calmed her down and gave Calliah’s
       brain the space to think and formulate complete sentences.
       Nothing would help now though. “I…Uhmm…I…I….I’m…” Hazel eyes
       started to finally water. She could feel a mixture of pain and
       emptiness start to bubble from within. Now there was only one
       person that could do something to change this and of course
       THOSE people were Helena.
       The woman turned around and finally let go of her earlobe,
       running even further away from the forsaken party and towards
       her father’s castle. This was his entire fault… if he would have
       given them more liberty… if he would have tended to the needs of
       Mia’s exuberant heart… Mia was a dove that he placed on the palm
       of his hand and held on to it so tightly that its head popped
       out. Her father’s insecurities killed their sister. The second
       youngest; their ‘breath of fresh air’.
       However Calliah ran towards Helena’s room in hopes of finding
       her eldest sister there. If not, she had no idea what to do…
       Probably pace outside the room until she either fainted from
       exhaustion or someone appeared. Liah’s sanity had escaped the
       second that she heard those words. ‘She did it. She ended her
       life.’ The girl didn’t even have the courtesy of knocking on the
       door, Calliah simply pushed the pair of doors open and stepped
       inside. Tears streaming down her face without control. At first
       the tears left faint traces of black –that were now only grey
       highlights- that had been rinsed out by some more salty sorrow.
       As soon as her body came to a halt the mannerism returned. A
       hand pressed on to her flat stomach firmly as if keeping it from
       falling apart and the other hand moved immediately to one of her
       earlobes, tugging harshly as she spoke. “I-I-Is it tr-tr-true?
       Helee--ena?!  Sh-She told m-m-me… Sh-she did…” Calliah said
       looking at the figure of her eldest sister with the weirdest
       expression. With lost glossy eyes that seemed as lost as her
       lack to process words. Well, finally someone was tempting
       unintentionally to out-crazy Helena.

       Since the celebration began, Arsen had not spoken a word... He
       had very little to eat. For the most part, he tended to his cup
       and observed. Things were ugly. Moods were up and down, things
       were happening that were horribly timed. Arsen's abilities were
       particularly put together for the purpose of attaining
       information. Medea was keeping a secret. The wretch had actually
       snuck a man into her chambers! At a time like this no less! It
       was laughable! The youngest, Mia, had taken her own life. The
       King had announced his remarriage, which made the girls even
       more upset... It seemed that there wasn't much to celebrate...
       and yet the party continued. But the good times still hadn't
       come to an end. The King had plans of his own. And even Arsen
       wasn't particularly happy about this one... Well, they would
       lead him to a position of greater power in the Kingdom, but what
       would he have to sacrifice for that to come to fruition? The
       King's personal interrogator would be leaving soon, but there
       was something he had to wait on first. So for now, he remained
       silent, just watching as everything fell apart..

       Distress, sadness, sorrow; the pain of loss was radiating
       through the kingdom this moment and the King, the oh so great
       father, was none the wiser. What means do this walls have if it
       cannot protect the ones who reside within from the ones within.
       It was all a lost cause, but what could you do? A king who's
       absolute rule is more important than the happiness of his own
       family. Thoughts ran through Helen's mind as she decided now
       would be appropriate to have a change of clothes and then tend
       to grounds; there will be quite a back lash as the news sweeps
       through the nation. Halfway through changing, her doors swung
       open and as she turned, she held her chest to hide from the
       intruder. It was her sister, crying, tears casting salty trails
       followed by the eye liner that accentuated her pretty features..
       Her nervous twitches was evident and it befell Helena to tell
       her the news that she was sure Liah already knew. "Yes.. She
       ended her own life..." Helena told her, grief and sorry not
       laced within her voice. After finishing informing her little
       sister of the news; ensuring her that it was correct, her fears
       came to fruition, Helena started to search for clothes.

       With a sigh, deciding to end the silence, he stood from his seat
       and picked up his scepter; beginning the walk to one of the
       hardest announcements he'd ever have to make. It wasn't every
       day you had to announce horrible news, especially regarding your
       own daughter. With a heavy heart, though, knowing it needed to
       be done, the patriarch had to carry out this task; a life
       altering announcement. Finally, having made his presence felt as
       only he could, having stepped through the colossal doors, he was
       above his kingdom; looking down upon his subjects. The king
       would ensure this was truly a day of days, one that would see
       three major things happen; an unprecedented happening of
       events.. unfortunate as one was.
       When, finally, he spoke, the king's voice would echo throughout
       the lands; carrying his message to every corner of the empire as
       though on the wings of an angel. "My royal subjects!" He called
       forth, putting a silence over the people. "This.. is a tragic
       day.. it seems.." He was already struggling to contain it, but
       knew it must be done. ".. that my youngest daughter.. Mia.. has
       died." he paused, unwilling to allow his people to see their
       king shed tears. "She was a princess to you people, to this
       kingdom... a queen to me. From the day she was born, I believe
       she's held all our hearts. It is with a heavy heart that I say..
       That she... is dead.. " With a sigh, recomposing himself, he
       nodded to noone as if approving something. "When the one
       responsible for this tragic loss is found, he or she.. will not
       face death.. Instead.. their entire family will be put to death
       in various ways such as being drawn and quartered, hangings, and
       beheadings. Then, the wretched creature responsible for her
       death will face lifetime enslavement, and when they die, or
       perhaps before, their body will be fed to the wolves. This
       tragedy, this injustice, this catastrophe cannot.. will not..
       shall not go unpunished!"
       Now, taking a few moments to calm down, the king spoke again;
       licking his lips. "As king of these lands, I hereby decree that
       from this point forward, that the first day of the week will be
       changed to Miaday, in honor of the fallen princess. Next, each
       of my remaining daughters shall have a day as well." Then,
       grinning, he waited for a moment before speaking again. "There
       will be a curfew, and after curfew, the streets will be emptied.
       One week from today, there will be a party at the castle.
       Attendance is mandatory, clothing is not." Then, he paused and
       began to pace about; thinking about what would be said next.. he
       had one final bombshell to drop; something he was iffy about.
       This one was almost as hard as the first announcement, but he
       had to do it. "Also, I would like to hereby announce the
       marriage of my daughter.. Medea! She will be married post haste,
       to the man who will become her husband.." His mind, though, had
       already moved to that woman who would become his wife.

       Then the time finally came... The King's announcement. Arsen had
       never known the King on a personal level, but he had gotten to
       know the man well working directly under him as his personal
       interrogator. The King was a man who put value in his power, and
       often pushed it to the extreme. His emotions often spilled all
       over the place when he attempted to express them, and yet he was
       careful not to portray weakness. He was a complex man...
       Arsen had to admit, it was tragic event. He and Mia had been
       semi-friendly, unlike some of the King's other daughters... The
       King clearly hadn't had much time to prepare a speech. He was
       struggling to contain himself, and choose his words. In fact,
       everything seemed to be on the fly. Miaday... The King had done
       it again. Renaming the days of the week? Arsen couldn't help but
       to chuckle. And that punishment. Ruthless and unreasonable... It
       was something that Arsen actually loved about the King. It made
       his job fun. He often got to experiment with different forms of
       torture. He looked at the table as a somewhat sinister grin
       formed in the corners of his lips.
       His smile quickly faded, however, when the King mentioned his
       arranged engagement to Medea. His fist balled up and he took a
       deep breath. The thought of marrying that woman made his blood
       boil. But it couldn't be avoided. In his own way, the King was
       doing Arsen a favor in this arrangement. It ensured Arsen's
       place in the Royal family, even should he pass away. Arsen had
       seen all he needed to see though... He finished his drink and
       rose to his feet. Now that the announcement was made, he had
       nothing to wait on. He walked out of the room and began down the
       hallway. There were things that needed to be addressed...

       The shadowed, cloaked man had seemed to dissipate into the air,
       with no answer, no remains to even prove his existence and place
       in the very room, and Medea found it both interesting but almost
       hurtful. Maybe he had expected the events that were to come,
       unknown to the woman, that her Father had not only one, but two
       announcements to make.
       She watched, from her room, looking up at where the man stood,
       in all glory on his gold pedestal, watching him almost lose his
       usually calm demeanor; she knew how hard the King found it to
       keep composure, but if he couldn’t, surely the girls wouldn’t be
       able to either. It still stung her heart, but she contained her
       emotions. She felt the jab in her ribcage, like a thousand
       poisonous snake piercing her with their venom; she blamed
       herself for their Mother's death and couldn't help blame herself
       for Mia's death either, after all, it was in her room the girl
       had passed away, and because of her potions and mixes.
       The day was already too much to handle for the tall,
       black-haired, blue-eyed porcelain doll, but at least breathing
       was easier, chest lifting and falling ever so quickly under the
       black garment, that was loose enough for space but tight enough
       to put on show, her assets. After he had finished his first
       speech, Medea was partly day-dreaming, until her name rung in
       her ears, like a deafening scream, brows furrowing in confusion.
       She was to be married? To someone she didn't love, but despised
       too? Her father was going insane. Her eyes traveled through the
       crowd as they clapped softly, in respect to her sister, but
       joyous at the decision of the king; her sisters weren’t there
       but she needed them now more than ever.
       With a quick swift movement, she angrily twists her body, her
       steps wide and fast as she makes her way hastily out of her
       room, banging the door loudly behind her to be met with the
       sound resonating through her halls. She continued pacing her way
       through the castle, until she was met with what was to be
       husband, her expression even angrier; her blood boiling at the
       King's unintelligent choices; in the time of death, her father
       became weak and dim-witted.
       Standing, her arms crossed over her quickly rising and falling
       chest, she puffs her cheeks out, and exhales deeply, staring at
       him in denial, knowing all too well her father's decision wasn't
       to be changed.

       Surely enough, as soon as the young interrogator made it into
       the hallway, his bride to be appeared before him. There was one
       thing he had to admit. She was the sexiest creature he had laid
       eyes on. But even with that fact, the very sight of her sickened
       him. The look on her face... So High and mighty, as if she was
       insulted to be paired with a man so low as himself... "No need
       to act so upset, Princess." He practically spat the word
       'Princess.' "It's not like there's any changing the Kings mind
       anyway. May as well get used to the idea." He scoffed and
       continued walking, certain that he would soon hear the footsteps
       of his new fiancee behind him. She would surely have her input
       to share, not that he cared to hear it. He had something to
       check on, and it involved a trek across the Kingdom. He had only
       come here to see if the King would truly follow through with
       this arrangement, after all...
