Shiv sat at a table by herself in the inn. Her tankard slowly being emptied with each trip it took to her mouth. It wasn't the best tasting alcohol out there, but it was fulfilling it's purpose and that was all that mattered. She sighed, as it was taking too long for her contact to get to her. She must've gotten into trouble, she thought as she took another sip from her drink, Always a little too cocky for her own good. Taking a short look around the room, she hadn't noticed anything that really caught her eyes, or ears. Though, at a closer glance, it was kind of empty. Having been there before, Shiv had always seen the place full of life.

She sighed just then, realizing that it might have only seemed that way because a lot of the times she was drunk. With a shrug, she finished off her drink. Her patience was wearing thin as time ticked by and her friend was late... Shivani was convinced, though, that if Shay didn't show within the half-hour, she was just going to bail. No need staying around where she obviously did belong. However, maybe she would be able to pick up someone to keep her company for the night. Only the time, and her patience, would tell...

"Curse that stupid wagon for breaking an axle on the way to the capital..." By the time she had returned to the inn carrying Lucian on her back, she was dripping in sweat. Luckily, she had maintained her illusion and was now at the front desk reserving a room for her and her bag of potatoes.

She received the key from the receptionist and headed upstairs to her room for the night. She dragged herself and the cargo up the stairs. Opening the door she tossed him onto the bed. During the walk, she had felt something wet on her shoulders. Now she noticed that Lucian seemed to be crying. Sitting down at the edge of the bed, she hummed a soft lullaby that her mother would sing to her when she had nightmares. He soon seemed to calm down and relax more.

Brushing herself off, she remembered the lady at the bottom mentioning an adjoined bathroom.
Happy she headed off with a towel and bathrobe in hand to clean up before going to bed.

A strange yet familiar melody.
A smiling face appeared in his mind.
Sal.
Did you come back for me, Sal?
Lucian Lyse woke up, his hand grasping at the empty air above him.
...
He lowered his hand to cover his still moist eyes.
"When did you turn into such a pathetic being, Lucian Lyse." He asked himself, as he smiled at the irony of it all.
His eyes rolled over to rest on the closed doors of the bathroom nearby.
Focusing on the presence inside the bathroom, he closed his eyes.

What were you doing in the outskirts of town, Ms. Vale. He said directly in her head.

He paused for a moment, recalling the formal way she dressed.
Certainly not out on a mission. Returning.
An audience with Alyssia?
Or perhaps...

He cleared his thoughts, sending her an telepathic image of gleaming blood red eyes to let her know who was talking to her.

She continues to him as she got into the bath.
They even have lotion for bubbles baths! She sighed delighted as she felt the sore muscles start to unwind and relax in the warm bath.
Her peace was interrupted by a presence entering her mind and demanding attention.

She at first started to panic as she didn't know anyone that has telepathic abilities till a pair of red eyes flashed in her memory and mind. She sunk lower in the bath blowing bubbles annoyed that he was questioning her.
Thinking to herself,Did the palace not get the letter notifying them of my imminent return?

Snapping her attention back to the demanding presence, she directed her thoughts,
My king, I had been planning on returning to the palace today, but the company I was traveling with wagon broke down. This lead to us staying here for the night. Frustrated I had walked the small distance the nearest capital bar, trying to satisfy myself with a little taste of home. That's when I noticed your disguise and heard you mention something about reporting back to your leader...

She bit her lip in contemplation of continuing her like of thought. She decided it would be better to ask Queen Alyssia about they state of the kingdom when she finally reported in as King Lucian scared her a little.

So she has overheard quite a bit. Lucian thought to himself.
Then, he smiled.
There is no point of me hiding it then, if you heard that much. He said to her in her mind.
He then paused, letting his next words sink in.
What would you do if I betrayed this kingdom? Would you be able to kill me? For the sake of an useless Queen?
His eyes shone dangerously as he sneered at her.

She clenched her fist in the bath angered at his suggestion.
She stood up and quickly robed herself and exited the bathroom. She picked up one of her throwing knives and daggers. She stalked over to him throwing the knife so it pinned the bed sheets down next to his head.

She pointed the knife at his throat as he laid relaxed and unfazed by her approach.
"I would do anything for my queen!" She glared at him from above and spoke vehemently.
"Even if it meant my death or worse. If I died I would make sure to haunt you till I had destroyed myself. I will end you without a second thought if you suggest that or even insult the queen again!"

"..."
Lucian laid there, unmoving.
Then, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"I will hold you to that promise." he said calmly, as he got up, reaching forward to tip her chin up toward him.
"So don't ever forget those words that you have just spoken."
His deep and icy cold voice issued a warning of her fate if she ever went back on her promise.

She glared at him as she jerked her chin away. Growling softly she said,
"Don't mess with me, I've sworn a blood oath to protect the Queen and this Kingdom. It applies to anything that the kingdom will need to ensure our security."
She took a step back relaxing her dagger at her side.
"Even if that applies to a killing a paranoid king or protecting one..."
She knew that insulting him wasn't the best idea, but he had angered her too much for her to care.

"Know if you don't mind, your majesty, I've exhausted my magic and myself today, so I'll be going to bed now."
She turned her back and walked over to her items taking out a blanket she used on the road. She sat down on the available couch in the room.
"Since it's my duty to assure, you're in the best health possible. I'll take the couch."
She adjusted the pillows trying to make it as comfortable as possible.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄



Paranoid King? Lucian Lyse thought to himself, unable to stop his twisted amusement at her words from showing on his face, Me?
He covered his eyes with the back of his hand, a smile on his face, recalling something in his past.
"No need."
He then got up, taking a seat on the couch, with his chin resting on one hand, like he was seated at his throne.
"Please, go ahead. I can't let the lady take the couch after all."
His eyes shone with amusement, now a deep, caramel-golden color, currently in his human-form.

She was slightly annoyed at his obvious amusement to her anger. She started brutally fluffing the pillows on the couch.
She stopped prepping the couch for sleep and scoffed.
"If that is an order then I cannot disobey...At least let me set it up for you."
She made the couch and headed over to the bed.

"I will be leaving early in the morning so you'll have to get back to the palace by yourself. Though I suggest discretion as this inn is known for enemy troops staying here." She settled into the bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin.
"Goodnight, my lord." She blew out the candle by her side and closed her eyes.

Lucian Lyse stared at the ceiling long after the light were out.
Being stuck in a small and dark room reminded him a little of his time down in the-
He shook his head to clear his thoughts.
What was in the past stays in the past.
He was not about to let his mistakes drag him down this time.

He closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep, without success.
Ever since he came here, he had trouble sleeping at night.
Whenever he would fade away into a dream, it would be a nightmare of the circumstances of his "capture."
He would then wake up, completely enraged, silently cursing the Light King for ruining all his hard work and plans. For keeping him down there in the vast emptiness.
And, in the midst of it all, was a dry desperation.
Longing for the impossible.
Regret.

The night would then go on...

Zoë immediately fell asleep from the exhaustion of multiple castings and her near death experience with King Lucian. It was the middle of the night when she heard the sound of Lucian stirring from his sleep. Waking up, she remembered how early it seemed he was having a nightmare during his sleep. Though she was tired, she begrudgingly sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. In a soft whisper, she called out,
"Are you alright, my lord? Can you not sleep?"

She leaned back against the headboard of the bed in contemplation of what she could do.
It's better if I don't offer him a sleeping drug. It wouldn't be good if he became addicted to it...I could charm him to sleep, though. The lullaby I sang early seemed to work. She took a deep breath and started humming softly getting the key and tune in place before she sweetly sang the lullaby. She laced her voice with a little bit of charm magic ensuring that it work.
If he hasn't slept recently, no matter how resistant he is, it will work.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄



Lucian calmed down slightly, hearing the same melody from earlier.
It comforted him to know that some part of his past was still here, even if that too was an illusion.
All of sudden, another presence entered his field.
Immediately alert, he sat up silently, his eyes flashing red as he stared right at the door.
Two seconds later, a group of people forced their way in, knocking down the door in the process.

She stopped midverse as their door was busted opened. Thankfully, the room was dark, and the intruders didn't have torches or candles. They also blocked the light from the hallway so they could only see a little into the room. Fear took over Zoe for a second, and she froze unable to cast anything.

They started to march in and headed towards the couch where Lucian was sitting completely still, feigning sleep. She held still too and casted the potato sack spell on Lucian. She knew that wouldn't fool them, but hopefully it would distract them long enough for Lucian to act.
I'm too tired to cast a charm spell or any more illusion magic, and my daggers and knives are too far away.
She felt a little sweat bead on her forward in concentration since her magic was low.
But who are they? Why attack an old woman? Unless...my spell broke or they tailed me from the bar!
