[hr]

The sound of metal crashing against the wooden floors of the tavern had woken Gale up from a long, though rather restless, sleep. Her training kicked in the instance that she heard the footsteps and she grabbed her sword, waiting for whoever to make the sound to enter her room. When a knock came upon her door, Gale stood up warily and cracked open the door with her sword and, upon noticing that it was a guard who stood outside, opened it fully before slightly dropping her guard. [b]”Abigale Freshen, Initiate of the Dawn Covenant and member of Knight-Sergeant Felwind’s squad?[/b] the guard said as he looked down at the paper he held and then at Gale who had already started buckling on her armor.

[color=00CCFF][b]”Yes, what news do you have to report to me? What is the cause of the commotion out in the streets?”[/b][/color] Gale said as she noted the cacophony of running footsteps pass by the tavern outside. 

[b]”Oh, the King has been murdered ma’am. Prince Davon is missing and we are on full alert looking for him and the killer. Knight-Sergeant Felwind told me to find you and the others. You are to meet him at the Castle ma’am.”[/b] the guard answered and he shuffled through the drawings to find the next member. He ran down the hall of the tavern as Gale finished piecing on the last of her armor. To think that the King had been killed and Prince Davon missing… Gale had no time to stop and contemplate what this would mean for the Kingdom. She rushed into the stables attached to the tavern and saddled up her mare before setting off in a gallop towards the Castle. 

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Gale was greeted with something almost akin to chaos. Guards and militiamen rushed about, some leading horses while others carried what appeared to be sealed orders out of the Castle itself. Upon dismounting from her horse, Gale was greeted by a young man in leather armor who took the reigns of her horse. [b]”Oh thank the Gods you are here ma’am! Another Templar has already rushed off into the Castle, he is most likely with Knight-Captain Sunderland in the King’s room.”[/b] the young man said as he led the horse away and pointed towards a hall which led deeper into the Castle. Gale hurried down the hall and through the confusion until she finally happened upon the King’s chamber and found Draxis in the process.

[color=00CCFF][b]”Sir, I came as soon as I got the message from the militiaman you had sent out. Do we have any..”[/b][/color] Gale trailed off as she looked down at the crying Princess and Knight-Captain Sunderland. She bowed towards both before righting herself. [color=00CCFF][b]”Excuse me for my intrusion ma’am.”[/b][/color] She said before stepping back a few paces in the hallway.
