The palace guards swarmed around the now dead girl, "She's one of those priestesses from La Luz Fortaleza right?" The guards talked among them selves until the king slammed through the Throne Room doors and walked up to the deceased priestess.

"Are we going to just stand here and chatter? What happened here?" The kings voice was stern, but soft. The guards apologized and then explained what happened. He nodded, "Get me Markus." On of the guards ran off and after a few minutes reappeared with Markus trialing behind.

"Your Majesty, you summ.." Markus stopped speaking when he saw the young dead girl, he recognized her from the temple, "What happened here?" After he was told, Markus looked over to the king, "I will take it upon myself to investigate. I was the last one there and I also need to right a few wrongs if able." The king simply nodded and with that Markus ran to the stables, got onto his horse and quickly got to La Luz Fortaleza. When he arrived, he noticed the gates had been smashed open and he could hear the screams of the town folk. The young knight jumped off his horse and ran into town. A scene of devastation plagued the knights eyes, bodies of the peasants, guards, and even the priestesses law strewn across the ground. The buildings were destroyed and painted with dark crimson blood. Markus ran for the temple and there he found the corpse of the High-Priest, a bleeding wound on his chest. "What... Happened here?" The knight scanned across the kingdom, that's when he noticed that there was a body missing among the deceased, Castitas. There wasn't a single sign of the young girl anywhere. Markus dropped to his knees and took of his helmet, letting it fall to the floor, tears welling up in his eyes, "How could this have happened?" That's when he noticed a very slight scream, as if it was far away. Markus shot up and ran to his horse, who ever it was had to know something about what happened. Placing his helmet back on his head, he jumped onto his horse and made a dash toward the screaming.
