@Ace of flames01 Nah, shes just Octavia.

@Ace of flames01 I got that part. I just don't know why any sane person, minus the angel part, would readily go back to the people that were keeping her hostage. Even if they helped her.

Lucius stopped where he was at the door when the king spoke to him again. After his chat with the phantom, he did not think he would have much else to say but Lucius was wrong again. Another low blow uttered by one he had to obey and it drove him up a wall even further. His words were a mystery even to him, she was in a safe place away from the conflict, but on what side? He had to get to the bottom of this, and his first step would be getting down to the town.

He began to walk again but this time, the phantom spoke to him as he walked past. Die for your heart, or die alone? Somehow he suspected the phantom had similar circumstances when he died and his facial expression went blank as he thought about it. If Octavia was in a safe place for now, then he had time to wait and help down at the town, where he was most likely needed more. Yes, that was where he would go.

He began to jog and quickly realized, with a soft nudge of his hand, a large dog was following him. It was a cute dog, very fluffy and he enjoyed giving it a pet. It actually put a smile on his face for once, on that dark day.

------

He arrived down at the town shortly afterwards and was horrified by the destruction that had happened in such a short time-span. It looked like he missed most of the action, as the enemy was already gone. Now the only thing he could do was help with the relief effort and coordinate defenses in case of a second wave, which was highly doubtful. Something told Lucius that they had gotten what they came for, as he looked into the forest in the distance.

His attention was brought back into the state of things when a sergeant came up to him, the poor fellow was bandaged up and looked extremely pale from blood loss.

"Sir Lucius! I heard of the ceremony, congratulations sir. But now, there is important work to be done here! We have civilian casualties and many wounded. The enemy has fled the scene and scouts report that they are gone for good. Right now we need all the aid we can get." he said in a wheezed condition.

"Thank you sergeant. Move the bodies into the open field over yonder, make sure to cover them in cloth. The bodies need to be claimed and if they are not, then we shall bury them all with elegance for their sacrifice, regardless of service. Move the wounded to the market square and get any available healers there immediately." Lucius paused and looked over the wounded man who kept doing his duty even when he was in no condition to do so, "You did good sergeant, relay those orders to your subordinates and then rest, you've earned it."

The sergeant gave a stern nod then briskly walked off into the chaos. Lucius looked down at the dog again, crouched down and patted the dog's fluffy head.

"We have work to do, pup." Lucius then stood up and jogged to the nearest building, he would look for survivors that could not help themselves. As he jogged, he gave a small prayer, not for himself or even for Octavia, but for all the people that just suffered like he did many years ago.

Oh wait, never mind. I think they did.

So wait, is the attack still going on in the town? Or did the dark children pull out?

Lucius was quite flustered at the hands of the response he received from his King. Sure, he had been informal with her name but he was not really in the right sense of mind for formalities. What startled him more was how calm the king was, how sure he thought that Octavia would survive her ordeal instead of calling for a rescue party immediately after he came forward with the grievance news. But no, he chuckled at how he used her real name and then dismissed the topic altogether, saying he could do nothing, the man who had just created life not three hours earlier.

Confusion swept over him, if this was the kings will then who was he to judge but, at the same time he felt the need to go to her. Octavia needed help now more then ever and if the King would not do anything, then Lucius would. "So be it, my lord." Spoke Lucius with an edge of spite in his voice. He began to leave, but then the phantom came. The air became chilled as the creature came into the throne room but Lucius did not seem to care. Sir Lucius only wanted to leave but for some inexplicable reason, he found himself un-moving as he waited for the phantom to speak.

The Knight of Angels listened intently to the phantom and found himself in sad agreement. He had always felt a strange pity for those that could not pass on and now he realized that it stemmed from knowing what they had to endure on the other side. Nevertheless, he did not appreciate the blatant lack of respect in front of such a holy being.

Lucius did not know what over came him, but he went to pick up the thrown sword with his left hand. When he did, it sent a cold chill down his spine before he pointed it back at the phantom.

"You disgust me, phantom. I have no other words for you other then this; Take back your sword and leave, I have to go protect my people from your brothers, or did you fail to notice that with your coming more people are dying?" he said with jarring arrogance. Lucius really had no time to play around with a sad phantom, so he tossed the sword back at him and started to walk towards the door.

@Ace of flames01 Yeah, I'll add it to my backstory in more detail.
