I assure you, it has no value to you here. It might not even work as it is supposed to but if you insist,”[/color] Cuyler said and flipped it over so the handle was pointing to her. His left hand twitched at his side though as Cuyler called for any signs of water around him. A near storefront had barrels of water sitting outside, ready to aid Cuyler. He took a step closer to his assailant, the axe non threatening as he readied to give Egil to her. [color=pink]”Are you sure you want this old thing? I’m from the Land of Lost Nights, a trader. I am certain I may have something of more value to you or I can find what you seek,”[/color] Cuyler attempted to persuade her. She seemed to give him a look of annoyance and disbelief and now that Cuyler was closer to her, even if that arrow did not aim true it most likely wouldn’t miss him now. Cuyler sighed but he wasn’t about to give up yet as he tried calling to the water to aid him. It responded, rushing out of the barrels towards him and the thief. Thia got to her feet and moved away to avoid being caught in the wake. Cuyler’s water moved quickly, wrapping around her ankles but his actions weren’t quick enough. He heard the familiar release of an arrow and it sunk into it’s mark. Cuyler was focused on the task of knocking the thief down that he didn’t register the arrow had embedded itself into his right eye. He couldn’t see from that eye but the adrenaline running through him had heightened everything else. He walked to the girl laying flat on the ground, water surrounding her and he glared down at her. Egil was flipped around again and Cuyler held the handle tightly, ready to use it or the water again. [color=pink]”Was it worth it?”[/color] He looked down at the thief, awaiting her answer.

She watched Valda leave and started to laugh. It was an inhuman thing, something that only came out of people when they had given up and lost all faith in humanity. Amarantha seemed to think she had nothing left to fight for. Mryus was still hell bent on killing her, charging up a jewelry box at her but it blew up to soon. [color=#006400]”Well, as much fun as it is to have things explode in front of my face and hear that nobody gives a damn, even though I spent the last how many years keeping you people alive. I think I’m going to leave,”[/color] Amarantha said and hoisted herself to her feet. Well, foot since the other seemed to be in non working order. [color=#006400]”I’m proud of you Mryus, finally developed a backbone I see. Nice work Ahote. I’ll give you two options Myrus. Either you can let me leave, or you can lock me up. Dealer’s choice since the reason I came here in the first place just left.”[/color] It seemed that now Amarantha wasn’t incredibly hungry, she had calmed some. Hangry still seems to be a thing. Amaratha looked at Luna, still trying to defend her. [color=#006400]”Just stop Luna. If Mryus misfires and you get in the way,”[/color] Amarantha shook her head. [color=#006400]”Just go with Valda before she gets to far ahead. Listen to Apollodora. I trust her with everything I am,”[/color] Amarantha stated. She looked back at Ahote and Mryus. [color=#006400]”Clocks ticking boys.”[/color] Standing here, waiting for other people to decide her fate, Amarantha realized a few things. She loved more than just Luna and that saddened her to some degree. She didn't feel the need to explain her actions or why she had acted the way she had earlier. Her words had been harsh but she had been trying to save them. She was always trying to save them. It bothered her deep down that Valda didn't look past the raging monster but that's what Amarantha had been trained to be. Unfortunately for her, Amarantha still had a heart that loved and it had pinned her down from taking the chains by force.

He looked at Mryus, not at all surprised that the prince was still trying to defend and protect. It was who Mryus was deep down. Past the anxiety, the fear, he was loyal and protective and he was brave. Amarantha seemed to calm some, despite her blown apart limb. Ahote was starting to get a headache from the confusion he was feeling. He wasn’t certain locking her up would be such a wise idea. Not if the blood lust where to get worse again. [color=#1E90FF]”I can escort her from the Castle,”[/color] Ahote offered. Ahote had a lot of respect for Amarantha and she could easily have gone off worse than she had. He knew stories from her time in the Young Army. Amarantha was ruthless but to those she was loyal to, she showed great restraint and compassion. She was loyal to the cause and this family. She was loyal in protecting them. [color=#1E90FF]”Mryus, if she is off the Castle property she will not be feeding from your people, and there is the wildlife she can have as well. She’s given much to you,”[/color] Ahote added, finding himself pleading Amarantha’s case.
