I stumbled to my knees, my legs refusing to co-operate with me for a second. The cries of "Heda!" echoed in my ears, but I shook them away, bowing my head. [b]"I swear my loyalty and fealty to you, and I will follow your orders if our paths should ever cross again."[/b] I said, my voice raised slightly for all the crowd to hear. [i]'They want a show, they've got one,'[/i] I thought, looking up at the 'Heda'. [b]"Thank you for your peace."[/b] I murmured to her, hopefully not picked up by the members of the crowd. Despite the cuts I was about to gain, I had a lot of respect for the woman; showing me slight mercy where most others would've killed me. Still, not exactly the best first experience you want on the ground, is it?
