Nathan watched them just walk away in stunned silence. By the time he regained his senses, they were out of earshot "...they backed off. They just...backed off" the surprise on his face was quite clear "that...that doesn't make any sense. They wanted the spear enough to invade the castle...so why did they leave without a fight? Why did the king just let them go for that matter? They invaded his home and demanded his most precious treasure...so why did he just let them leave?" In his confused state, he had began to hyperventilate "this has to be some kind of dream. That's the only explanation." Drawing his white sword, Ysera, he used it to slash his own wrist. "Gah! I felt that. But that means that this isn't a dream. Dammit, why does nothing make sense anymore!?"
