Cuyler wished he could enjoy all of this but his mind was preoccupied. To make matters worse Cuyler was no longer seeing all that was around him. He was staring blankly off into space as he was overcome with a vision. Cuyler stood back at the Well of Mimir but Mimir was not alone. A small girl stood, reaching out and took Cuyler’s hand. He wasn’t sure how but he knew her name to be [b]Apollodora[/b] and she had eyes as blue as the ocean, with hair as dark as night and she was so familiar to Cuyler. [i]”It's going to be okay, Daddy. You can rest now.”[/i] Cuyler was meeting his beautiful daughter, a daughter he somehow knew he was going to have but didn’t understand the meaning of any of this. Before he could say a word, Apollodora turned to dust and disappeared before his very eyes, floating away on wind that didn’t exist. A moment later and Cuyler was looking back at the stands, hearing the roar of the crowd and Arnora teasing him and Myth agreeing with Cuyler that Halden would like this but it wasn’t safe. Cuyler blinked a couple of times as shock and confusion rolled through him in waves. He looked at Myth before she went off with Bruce and he was left with his friend Arnora. He ran a hand over his eye patch and his hair again before he shook himself but the vision wouldn’t leave him. [color=pink]”Did Saga mention anything about there being recurring visions when she spoke of the waters of Mimir?”[/color] Cuyler asked Arnora. He wanted to know what it meant and why she had disappeared like that. It had been as if it were ash but she had not caught fire and they were standing in water at the time and why did she want him resting. Cuyler couldn’t rest, they had to prevent the end of the world.

It had been happening ever since her release and Amarantha wasn’t even sure Valda had been completely on board with her release. No matter, Amarantha was here, doing her duty for the good of the Castle and if Queen Valda wanted to hold onto a little spat that Amarantha had when she felt her life was over and death was imminent, that was her personal problem but the safety of the Castle needed them to put their personal feelings aside and buck up. Amarantha glanced over at Lennox and nodded at him to follow the Queen when she went to go have her conversation. No royal was being left unattended today, especially when conversing with one of their many enemies. Amarantha drifted over and stood next to Luna. [color=#006400]”Are you going to give one of the lovely contestants your favour? I’m sure any of the fine male contestants would be more than happy to have it.”[/color] And if two of the Kings' obnoxious laughter was any indication, they certainly would. Amarantha would have adored sticking by Luna’s side today but the both of them had a greater purpose to serve today and flirting with her charge, was not it. [color=#006400]"If you would like, I can escort you out to the Royal Box if you would like to go now,"[/color] Amarantha offered, looking back at Luna.

She knew it was part in protecting her brother, which was one of his reasons for volunteering but he still couldn’t help but swell with pride from her favour. Ahote looked over at Mryus and nudged him with his elbow. [color=#1E90FF]”I’ll need a coach of sorts. I would like you to come with me into the ring to prepare and be there for each task, if you desire it.”[/color] Ahote didn’t want his friend to feel as if he were being overlooked it was a safety thing just as much as it was a political thing. Ahote looked over, hearing the Kings’ laugh and speech. They weren't being completely silent but if Ahote chose to tap in, he was sure he would be able to hear more of their conversation and see malice and lust in their auras but he refrained for a better opportunity. [color=#1E90FF]”Maybe we should both go and speak to them. Teach them a little respect,”[/color] Ahote said under his breath to his two royal friends and the commander of the guard. Ahote didn’t appreciate the backwoods talk that the two of them were exhibiting and it didn’t help matters when King Nicholas flashed a poisonous smile at Valda. His hands clenched into fists and he shifted his weight. Someone cleared their throat and he turned his head quickly, seeing Amarantha smirking at him. [color=#006400]”I do believe you have somewhere to be Ahote Proudstar, champion to the Small Wet Country Across the Sea. Go on now.”[/color] Ahote stepped back, relaxing only slightly and nodded. [color=#1E90FF]”Will you come be with me in the champions tent later on Prince Mryus?”[/color] Ahote asked his friend.
