OOC>>> Great job, Attalus

IC>>>
Sorsha

Feeling a wave of comfort wash over her uneasiness, she smiles, briefly fingering the intricately carved pendant of the amulet ~ How pretty this is... ~ Walking on, she spies a lump in the distance ~ Follow me; I can lead the way. ~ She approaches the figure, stooping on surprisingly unwilling legs ~ A wounded rabbit... ~ Her right hand reaches out, almost touching its bloodied fur... ~ Leave it alone. ~ She half-gasps ~ We have far more important things to do, and you are unsafe... I can only protect you so much.

Closing her eyes, she shakes her head, ignoring the soft whimper of the creature ~ Follow what it says. ~ She clenches her fists and strides on, a determined expression on her face.

Alain

What would Dalben do in a situation like this? ~ Finally pausing, he stares into the horizon ~ He will not go to Elena... he has promised me that, at least. ~ Blinking his eyes once ~ Why should I trust a decrepit old fool at his words? ~ The horse shuffles on its feet, neighing softly ~ "Hush now." ~ Yet he keeps his word. ~ Overhead, the sky begins to darken and he sighs ~ Perhaps it would be better to return to Cedric... that is after all, surely her final destination. ~ Lowering himself from the horse.

Tomorrow then... ~ His last thoughts as he drifts off to sleep.

Cedric

"Why are you here, Dalben?" ~ Recovering from his shock, he manages to find his tongue once more ~ "What do you want?" ~ Hands instinctively moving to the hilts of his famous blades.

Dalben

"Don't be ridiculous, Cedric." ~ He scoffs contemptuously, his eyes piercing the king's unwaveringly ~ "If I'd wanted to kill you, I'd have done so years ago." ~ Stroking his beard calmly ~ "Yes, you realise that now, don't you?" ~ He takes a step forward, studying Cedric's expression curiously ~ "Are you happy?"

Cedric

"What kind of nonsense are you mumbling about, man?" ~ In a forced attempt to regain his composure ~ "Of course I am happy! I am the ruler of this realm! I have power, fame, wealth..." ~ Forcing a renewed spirit as the nagging doubt returns to haunt him ~ "Why would I not be happy?" ~ Stiffening as he hears a crow cackling maniacally in the distance ~ A bad omen... ~ "Well?!" ~ His grating voice echoing his irritation.

Dalben

"There will always be someone after all that you possess." ~ He shrugs his shoulders ~ "That is why I ask if you are happy... it seems you have mastered the art of contentment, and I must congratulate you on that..."

Cedric

"My liege! Bad news..." ~ He snaps into attention, whipping around to face the terrified messenger ~ "What is it?" ~ "The princess..." ~ "What about her?!" ~ His voice taut ~ "...dead..."

"NOOOO!!!!" ~ The roar echoes down the hallway, reverberating in the entire castle...
