Chapter 3: Signals

Sombra returned to the ballroom with a determined look in her eyes as she began to dance with her partner who was starting to look rather nervous.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, as he spun her around so that she was looking directly at him, and her eyes widened as she realized that she'd been dancing with one of the men involved in her husband's death.

Sombra was shaking with fright as she pulled her hand away, before clenching her fist as she spoke "Fleury, come out love." and a blaze of golden light flared to life as the ghost of her husband appeared at her side.

"Impossible!" the masked man gasped as he staggered back in fright.

"Recognize me?" taunted a voice inside his head, and the man dropped to his knees clutching his head as though it were on fire.

Prince Fleury stepped towards the masked man, his silver sword in hand as he drew closer to the man his feet making no sound as he closed in on him before the tip of his sword hovered above the man's heart.

"Sombra, now!" he whispered, and quick as a flash Sombra had the man pinned to the ground, her black hair hanging in front of her face like a dark veil.

"You will be executed at dawn for murdering my husband, and bringing chaos to the kingdom." she said, before snapping her fingers to summon the guards and ordering them to bring the prisoner to the dungeons.
