[color=92278f]"THAT IS ENOUGH!"[/color] A voice rang throughout the clearing, shattering the spears of ice. It was the king of darkness. [color=92278f]"HEAR MY VOICE AND KNOW THIS! THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT ARE TO LEAVE MY KINGDOM IMMEDIATELY! THOSE WHO DARE TRY TO OPPOSE MY WILL SHALL BE EXECUTED ON THE SPOT! ASHER! RETURN TO THE CASTLE! WE SHALL HAVE WORDS ABOUT YOUR BRASH ACTIONS UPON YOUR RETURN. AS FOR THE WRAITH, SHOULD I HEAR OF ANY FURTHER MISDOINGS IN THE FUTURE, I WILL PERSONALLY HUNT YOU DOWN AND EXECUTE YOU MYSELF! GENERAL URIEL, YOU ARE TO BRING THE WITCH TO A DOCTOR THEN BRING HER HOME. AM I CLEAR?!"[/color] The king's voice boomed. The clearing then fell silent.

Octavia didn't hesitate to clear the area. She used the last bits of magic to heal Lucius' broken arm and leg, then helped him to his feet. [color=ed1c24]"Let us leave... Hurry now...!"[/color] She replied timidly, tugging on his hand slightly. She then looked back at Asher, making brief eye contact with him and reached out to him with an open hand, as if saying that she didn't want to leave and that she was hoping he would grab her hand as a sort of farewell, then looked away towards the ground with a nervous and timid expression, and her hand dropped to her side. [color=ed1c24]"Bye..."[/color] She whispered to the young prince then returned to the other side of the border with Lucius, beaten, trembling, and terrified and the near death experiences that transpired today.

Soon after returning to the light side of the border, Octavia fell to her knees, trembling violently. The fear and exhaustion had finally got to her, and the potion's effects had already started to wane as the pain had returned with a vengeance. [color=ed1c24]"I-I'm sorry... B-but could we rest for a bit...? I-I need a moment to collect myself..."[/color] Her voice trembling, sounding as if she were on the verge of tears. And quite frankly, she was.

=======================================

Back at the castle of darkness.

[color=f26522]"Ah, welcome home sire. Your father, the king, is expecting you in the war room. "[/color] An imp servant informed the prince upon his arrival. The imp bowed low and gestured the prince forward. 

In the war room was the king of darkness along with a few military generals, however, upon spotting Asher he shooed them away. [color=92278f]" Ah yes, Asher, please come in. Do you care to explain to me as to why the princess of light was not only beaten nearly to death but also on our side of the boarder? I'm sure that it was for a very good reason, yes?"[/color] The king said, his tone as sharp and cold as the steel of a blade.
