[i]A tale of Songs and Knights[/i][/color]
[/center]
With the quick intervention of the novice Song Knights the situation at the Colossuem was starting to get under control, Randar's songs keeping the crowd as calm as possible while the others fought off the threat, minimizing the civilian casualties still, some deaths were unavoidable when they were fighting such an opponent.

[color=goldenrod]"I believe that the same can be said of you, Black Prince, nevertheless, it's a pleasure to see that you still has not lost your talons"[/color] Emilia regarded Darrel with a nonchalant smirk as she calmly sipped some tea. [color=goldenrod]"However, if you are wondering why I don't take care of the threat on my own, given that I am the most powerful Knight here, on the absence of Princess Ires and you? The truth is that I cannot, not without the risk of shifting the blame on my land and possibly beginning a war. That must be the aggressors' objective, to sow distrust between ourselves, causing the barely contained animosity to burst."[/color]

[color=goldenrod]"At least that's what I would do, were I in their place."[/color] The grin on Emilia's face made it evident that not only would she do something like this but that she probably have done so more than once. After all there was a reason why the Princess was called the Puppeteer of Warovia, among her Song Knight peers.

Nevertheless, Cass would arrive to find that the Royal Tribune was safe and sound, even though [url=http://i.imgur.com/TJ22oe8.jpg]Princess Lieselotte[/url] (who was attending the tournament and negotiations on her sister's stead) seemed seriously distressed that her Honor Guard was holding her at bay, while the public was being slaughtered by the rampant Dissonances. That was, until a messenger from the city guard arrived, slamming the doors open before falling to his knee in front of the Bach Empire's Second Princess. "Your Highness, the City Guard requires your assistance as the Rear Commander of Imperial Forces. The enemy has just attacked the Imperial Cathedral and massacred those who were attending the service, they seem to have stolen something from the Cathedral. If they reach the Lorelei, well not be able to hold them anymore That's all I had to report, Your Highness, please, your answer?"

[color=ec008c]"I'll be coming arriving immediately, report back to your officer and have someone reach for my sister at the Palace."[/color] Princess Lieselotte stepped away from his guards and moved to the tribune. [color=ec008c]"Hear me, Song Knights, the Empire of Bach, no... the people we swore to protect, need your help despite whatever national allegiance you may have. The Imperial Cathedral is being attacked as we speak and the masses attending the service, slaughtered like herd animals. I want some of you to volunteer to come with me while the others stay here and deal with the remaining Dissonances. Please, I appeal to you not as the voice of Bach but, as a fellow Song Knight that does not wish to see more meaningless bloodshed..."[/color] The Princess appealed with teary eyes.

As if things couldn't get any worse, the same voice from before sounded, from high up, [color=ed1c24]"Oh my~ Isn't that a moving appeal? Such a shame that we can't allow that, Lord Prophet would be very disappointed if we don't deliver what we came to retrieve~"[/color] A whimsical chuckle revealed the source of the mysterious voice. A [url=http://i.imgur.com/J385JFp.jpg]girl[/url] wielding a vicious looking axe perched high above the arena, atop one of the decorative pillars. [color=ed1c24]"I'll be keeping as many of you here as I can!"[/color] The girl kissed another handful of music sheets and threw them to the wind, most of them became more undead Dissonances but one turned into a beast of much higher class, a [url=http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/128063/Fafnheir.jpg]Linnorm[/url], one of the lesser dragons, about 15 meters tall and spewing a potent acid from its maws.

As if it wasn't enough, the mysterious girl joined the fray as well by leaping from her perch, spinning in the air as she rocketed towards Randar. [color=ed1c24]"Hi there, Beansprout~ Did you want to talk to me, earlier?"[/color]
