At some point, of even started to slope upwards.The sun was high in the sky and beat down harshly on her lightly covered back and it seemed they were still yet to reach their destination.

August 13, 1345. Stormhold Castle, The walled city of Rothwell, Capital of Myknos. Prince Nicolas Alexander Tutton He watched the sun rise over the busy town of Rothwell and felt a certain level of peace wash over him. All was still well and he would do all in his power to keep it that way. The previous night had been somewhat enjoyable for him, well up until Lord Igneo was found dead that is. He had rushed to the sanatorium forgetting his mission that night and groaned in frustration when he had finally remembered. He recalled the look on her face when he had presented her with the bow and it brought a feeling to him that he hadn't felt in a while. He didn't know why he did it but when he had noticed her admiring the bow earlier, he really wanted to get it for her. He had hoped to deliver it anonymously but he decided against that, knowing that the easiest way to get under her defenses was to give her himself. If she had been faking everything that they had talked about then

She looked to see a head of blonde hair lying a little too close to her face. She recalled the previous nights events and wondered of she was really going to follow through with her plans. A knock sounded on the door and she stood to let whoever was there into the room. She donned a robe just in case it was the Prince. He seemed to meet her only when she wasn't properly dressed.Lo and behold, he stood there with an array of maids behind him bearing trays of food and basins of water.

August 17, 1345.Stormhold Castle,The walled city of Rothwell, Capital of Myknos.Princess Alyn Midika TuttonShe walked quickly in the cover of the darkness of the early morning before sunrise. Under her thick woolen cloak, she still shivered and her heart almost bled when she wondered how Alicia, no Odeya, would be faring.The poor girl was just a pawn in a game she didn't mean to get involved in. Alyn could only envy her strength. Carrying that kind of fear in her heart and playing her role perfectly would not have been easy but she managed to pull it off. Alyn wondered if the girl had known war because one would not be able to relay such terrible news calmly. She had known war and she had known how it felt to be so near death's doors. She had watched it claim the life of her oldest brother, Henrik. They weren't so close so she hadn't felt the brunt of his death so harshly like Nicolas and her Father had.She thanked God for making her a woman. At least she could deal with her p

She held the folded letter close to her chest and hoped he would read it and not rip it to shreds. She had hoped he would actually follow through on her plan and she was grateful for not telling him the other parts of the plan. She had only meant to push him to focus not hate her. How it pained her to lie to him but for the sake of the land she had to push her feelings aside.Why do I always have to sacrifice my happiness for others? She thought as a silent tear made its way down her cheeks. She was tempted to breakdown and release all the pain she had kept locked up but once again, she had to be strong.Where was this damned woman? She thought and as the saying goes, speak of the devil and he appears, the doors to the dungeons opened and she stood expecting to see Alyn. "Oh thank God. I have been

August 17, 1345.Stormhold Castle,The walled city of Rothwell, Capital of Myknos.Prince Nicolas Alexander TuttonHe stared into the fire that burned in the grate as he sipped a dark rum from his cup. The weather was far too hot for a fire but he didn't care. Watching the flames helped him stay calm but today only the sound of her voice rejecting him resounded in his head over and over again."Argh!" He yelled throwing the cup into the flames.Why did he believe that she would love him too? She was attracted, yes, but love? How could he have been so stupid?'You've always treated her like a criminal.' His conscience scolded, 'How could you expect her to love you?'He slumped his shoulders in defeat. "Odeya." He said her name as a whisper.She had risked losing her mother by telling them of the war lying just outside their gates but his traitorous mind refused to see past her rejection.He hated the internal battle raging in his mind. The answer should have been clear but the devil o

The rope around her throat got loose and she had to struggle to not hit her head as she fell through the hole in the stage.Her eyes and throat burned but she couldn't rest, not while the angry crowd still surrounded her. She shuffled and passed her bound arms under her till it came in front of her. The pain from choking combined with the one from stretching her shoulder joint turned her vision white but she fought it and tried to loosen the rope around her feet.Standing quickly, with her arms still bound, Odeya ran through the frenzied crowd.
