Ophelia had voiced Morthos' concern and he just shook his head, [color=red]"I'm not sure, my mom is the ruler here so she'd be the Lady, not the Lord, unless..."[/color] Morthos trailed off for a second, could his fears finally be realized? [color=red]"No, no never mind, we'll figure it out once we're inside."[/color] He chuckled at Jax's question, [color=red]"no, Fear isn't really my uncle, he's actually my godfather, so he's basically family. The one I got the books from was my uncle Damakos,"[/color] Morthos had actually been surprised how easy it was to get his uncle to lend him the books, he seemed in an unusually good mood when he asked about a month ago.

He'd have to grill Roxas later about whatever he was on about, was someone following them? For now the guards were coming back and Morthos saw behind them Major, no not Major anymore, Colonel Fear. His skin was red like Morthos' but where Morthos had a more vivid red Fear's was much darker, almost like the colour of dried blood. His hair was jet black and was long like Morthos' was before he got his big makeover with Jax. He was wearing armour, a shield on his back and a khopesh holstered on his waist. [color=red]"Uncle Fear, can you please tell your men that I'm your godson and to let us inside?"[/color]

Fear walked up to Morthos and squinted slightly, as if he wasn't sure he was who he said he was. [color=red]"Do I need to get you your glasses old timer?"[/color] Morthos saw the guards tense up at this, and with good reason, when it came to his soldiers Fear was a no nonsense kind of guy. But Morthos knew what he was like when the uniform came off. Fear laughed and pulled Morthos in to a hug, [color=FF1493]"Morthos, good to see you, glad you've still got your same sense of humour."[/color] He turned to his men who were giving each other confused glances, they'd clearly never seen Fear in this good a mood before. [color=FF1493]"Men, this is my godson, son of Lady Rieta, and your young Lord, Morthos Xerxes."[/color]

The guards were unsure whether they should apologize, bow, kneel, so they instead just stammered and tried to do a combination of all those things. Fear turned back to the group, [color=FF1493]"now, Morthos and friends, come, I'll take you to the manor, you can introduce yourselves along the way."[/color] As they walked by Morthos said to the guards who were trying to apolozie, [color=red]"look, you didn't know, it's fine, now as you were, continue guarding my town."[/color]
