Flames
Silen and Dyre returned to find Caden and Wes resting by a fire.
“Where have you been?” Caden asked Silen as the two came into sight.
“He was talking to a hunter” Dyre retorted and sat next to Wes.
“You just can’t keep your mouth shut can you?” Silen asked
“Nah.”
“Why were you talking to a hunter Silen?” Wes asked
“Because I’m too damn gorgeous, that’s why”
Zev came up to stand behind Silen and Wes stood up, drawing his sword. When Zev stood next to Silen, he held out his hand. Zev sighed and put his dagger and sword in Silen’s hand, and sat down. Silen walked around to the opposite side of the fire, sat, and placed the weapons next to him on the ground.
“Your not wanted, so why are you here?” Dyre asked.
“Maybe I wanted some company other than my own.”
“Where are you going?” Caden asked.
“Towards Arakayn.”
“Altone country” Caden concluded.
“Yes, you’ve heard of it?”
“Only that the country is the largest in the world. Not to mention the richest.”
“Oooh, money.” Dyre grinned and rubbed his hands together.
“Dyre!” Wes growled.
“Sorry.”

Anger
Roth rode through the tents of Ranmar’s army’s campsite. As he rode, he received stares from most and snickers from others.
Ranmar was not going to be happy.
He rode to the main tent and dismounted.
As he walked in the tent, he found Ranmar in the company of two scantily dressed women, crawling all over him. As he noticed Roth, he pushed them away and stood to greet him.
“Where is he?” Ranmar asked.
“They” Roth hesitated “they were unable to retrieve him. He had a protector.”
“What kind of protector?” Ranmar sat down and rested his elbow on the armrest, placing his head in his hand.
“A winged human.”
Ranmar stood up quickly and rushed over to Roth, grabbing his collar and lifting him slightly off the floor.
“Male or female?”
“M…male” Roth choked out and was immediately dropped.
Ranmar returned to his seat as Roth rubbed his neck.
“What is the significance of the gender?” Roth asked.
“Have you ever heard of a Wingther?”
“No sir, I don’t believe I have.” Roth sat down in a chair in front of Ranmar.
“They are a race of people with black feathered wings and large amounts of power. They can easily be recognized by the large black henna design on their back, and can also live forever without aging.”
“But what about the wings?” Roth asked.
“They can be concealed inside their backs.”
“Oh” Roth thought for a moment “So why was the gender a concern?”
“Hn.” Ranmar reached inside his shirt and pulled out a clear crystal with a golden aura inside it.
“In the time I used to reign supreme I killed many a Wingther, but there was one family that I could not defeat. They were incredibly powerful and had two children…”
“A girl and a boy.”
“Exactly. When the children got separated from their parents, I stole them. The parents found out and came to make a bargain. Their lives for their children.”
Ranmar stood up and paced around the tent.
“What did you do?” Roth asked, anxious to hear the rest of the story.
“I killed the parents.”
”What about the children?”
“I couldn’t. I’d never killed something so young and innocent. I was weak then.”
Ranmar walked to a small table and poured himself a drink.
“The boy escaped, but the girl didn’t.” Ranmar sat down “I stole her voice, so she wouldn’t say anything, and I let her go. That was over 300 years ago, and I still have it.”
Ranmar played with the small crystal in his hands and the aura grew bright.
Roth stood up “if you had the chance now, would you kill them both?”
Ranmar looked up at Roth with malice and hate in his eyes
“Yes.”

Admitance
~I wonder if he’s noticed me? ~
Dyre was riding behind Wes on their way to Arakayn. Dyre was constantly thinking about the blue-eyed beauty, and at same time wondering about the large tattoo.
“We are close” Zev stated from his place at the head of the group.
“How close?” Wes asked and rode up next to Zev.
“A couple of minutes away, we should be able to see the edge of the town after we clear these trees.”
“Good.
Wes turned Wing around and rode up next to Dyre.
“You alright?” Wes asked him.
“Fine, just tired and hungry. Wes, what species are you?” Dyre asked, curiosity the better of him.
“Can you wait till we get to the town, a library would probably be able to tell you more than I can.” Wes replied.
“Okay.”
“Zev, will we be able to visit the king? I’m sure he’ll want to know about this Ranmar person,” Silen asked from the back of the group.
“Maybe.”
The five of them rode through the town in silence, noticing all the strange stares from the town’s people.
As they got to the gates of the castle, two guards stopped them.
“What is your business?” one spoke up “does the king know you’re coming?”
“No” Zev replied “but is Queen Orea here?”
“Yes, what is your business with her?” the second spoke up, pointing the tip of his spear at Zev’ throat.
“I wish to see my sister, I heard her kingdom was destroyed.”
The guards narrowed their eyes at Zev.
“Follow us.” They opened the gates to the castle and lead the five inside, where they were greeted by five more guards.
“Your weapons please” a tall, burly man, with brown hair that was pulled into two spikes so they looked like horns, asked as they climbed the stairs to front door.
“Why?” Wes asked as he glared at the man.
“For the King’s safety” the man replied “they will be returned to you once we see that you pose no threat.”
“Hn” Wes handed over his sword, knives and dagger, and the rest followed suit.
The tall guard nodded and motioned for them to follow him inside.
