Within the castle walls of the kingdom of Raphael, a knight paced the halls in deep thought. This knight was none other than Cain Argus, and there where two things on his mind: the first thing being informing the King and Queen of the latest news involving the preparation of their army for an all out war, and the second thing was finding a place to just curl up and sleep. Truth be told, Cain was more interested in the second thing on his mind, having not slept a wink since the dawn of yesterday. From the moment he had awoken yesterday, Cain had to march through the kingdom with a few warriors in tow in order to keep the peace and reassure the public that they would be safe within the kingdom, then shortly after, he had literally spent the remainder of the day putting his men through combat drills until nightfall, which was when he had taken it upon himself to patrol the borders of the kingdom for any sign of invasion. Once the sun had risen once more, the knight had returned, pausing only for a mere moment to purchase a loaf of bread to eat on the way to the palace before arriving to the spot he was in now. 

To say that Cain was exhausted was an understatement, still, he had a duty to perform to ensure that the kingdom was safe. After all, the safety of the kingdom would mean his salvation from the curse that plagued him. Even with his lack of sleep clouding his thoughts, Cain's subconscious still fought to keep the curse's power in check, however with exhaustion weighing him down, it was starting to look like an uphill battle '[i]I really hope his and her majesty see me soon...[/i]' he mused as he rubbed his bloodshot eyes.
