As a troop of the city's [i] finest [/i] came crashing through the ceremony, clamoring about finding someone named Violet. The name did seem familiar to him, but he had not spotted the person at the ceremony specifically. [color=ffce00] "Aben am, perhaps it is time for you to get Lady Anastasia out of here... It seems like we have unwanted guests...[/color] Munir said softly but sternly. [color=ffce00] "Hakim, with me." [/color] he continued, giving his cousin and his lady friend a small bow as he turned to face the onrushing guards with his retainer giving the nobleman and lady a bigger, more status-appropriate bow before exiting with his lordling. [color=ffce00] "And I, Prince Munir Ibn Raif al Kadir, command you to take your leave this instant. Not only have you intruded so rudely upon a holy ceremony, you have also disturbed my peace. For that you ought to be punished. On top of such acts of transgression, you dare draw your weapons in the presence of both I and Prince Callum Danrose? Your death wish knows no bounds it seems. I would ask my loyal retainer Hakim to bring me your heads, but I am a man of forgiveness and I believe in second chances. Take your leave this instant and I will have words with your commanding officer after the dust has settled from you trampling this sacred ground."[/color] Munir said, voice colder than the midnight sun. It wasn't normal for him to have to wear this mask, but if he was asked about it, he would surely say that it was rather exhilarating... As he waited for the guards to decide whether or not they'd rather live or continue their silly pursuit, a scream was heard and commotions began spreading through the crowd. Hakim, ever-aware, was the first to turn and see what has happened. What he saw was Roman, clearly besides himself and showing the ferocity of a spirit bear, making his way towards the guards who still have their steel drawn. [color=00a651]"My lord, it is unsafe here, we should take our leave...[/color] The ever-soft spoken Hakim addressed Munir. Munir, having turned in the same direction as Hakim, kissed his teeth in annoyance. [color=ffce00] "I think you're right, my friend. I think it would be better if we got out of Lord Ravenwood's, or whatever has taken over him, way. He is a friend, but he is not him currently..." [/color] As Munir started to take his leave, another, more familiar, sound was heard. He recognized it immediately and his calm demeanor disintegrated.[color=ffce00] "Mina?" [/color] Was all that he said as he began scanning the crowd for the source of the familiar voice. What he saw gripped him with panic. A unknown figure had seemingly taking Mina hostage, and was dragging Mina into the trees... [color=ffce00] "YOU! UNHAND HER THIS INSTANT!" [/color] Munir screamed out, his voice a mix of rage and fear. This also took Hakim's attention away from Roman, as he turned in the same direction his lord is now facing. Munir, without saying another word, charged towards the unknown figure, pushing and weaving through the stunned crowd. Hakim tried his best to keep up, but it seemed as if Munir was moving with unnatural lithe and grace. The uneven terrain and shambling crowd seems to melt away into nothingness as Munir bounded towards the treeline. [color=ffce00] "MINA!"[/COLOR]
