Cyrus rushed from the post to the dining hall. For the moment he had forgotten anything else to direct himself on this one singular issue. It was as if the rest of the killing game had just faded away. All the other matters, all the other issues, all the people squabbling about non-issues. All of that was gone right now. They didn’t matter, of course they didn’t. Right now he was dealing with a true life or death situation. He had to save someone. What other thing could be as important?

A loud bang sounded through the dining hall as Cyrus swung the door open without restraint. He was out of breath from the running, but his eyes were still filled with fury.  It wasn’t the type of anger Cyrus had shown in the trials of carnage. It was different. This was the determined intensity of someone with a goddamn job to do. The same kind of ferocity, just without the irate madness.  
He took a deep breath and regained his posture.  He looked around the room, counting heads. It seemed most people had showed up. The rest was either late or decided to willfully ignore his outcry. Simply useless. But whatever, he had no time to waste thinking about the worthless rabble. The ones that arrived here were the ones he could count on right now. 

[color=D1c2bf]”Thank you all for coming.”[/color] He said, as he moved himself from the door to the middle of the room. He didn’t worry himself with the usual fancy speeches or pretty words, he just decided to cut straight to the point. [color=D1c2bf]”As I told you all in the announcement. We have an emergency.  Krista has been captured and detained by Nariko in the morgue.”[/color]  No doubt this would stir up the room. The hows, the why’s. Cyrus  didn’t answer anyone specifically, not yet. He had an announcement to finish. With one hand motion he tried to silence the room, and continued speaking. [color=D1c2bf]”Nariko demands we hand over Aleecia during the next night of carnage, and lock her up with them both forever. The alternative is, when we don’t deliver Aleecia to her… that she will kill Krista and herself.”[/color]

[color=D1c2bf]”I have called you all here to request cooperation.  Any type of help is welcome. Whether you simply contribute ideas or will provide manpower for whatever we undertake.”[/color] He looked around the room, his expression determined. His voice still filled with  an intense fire. [color=D1c2bf]”I hope I speak for many of you when I say I am sick and tired of the suffering and death.”[/color] He paused. [color=D1c2bf]”That is why I am going to try and save her, since we have the opportunity.”[/color]

[color=D1c2bf]”Who is joining me?”[/color]
