~ G a r r o t h 's POV ~

When I awoke the next morning,panic nestled in me quickly.Angela was no longer laying next to me.

Panic rose up in me,despite the fact that I knew she could take care of herself really.

"Lady Angela?",I called out as I slowly rose from the bed.No one answered my call.
A low,but small sigh escaped my lips as I then stood up,leaving her home and carefully closing the door behind me.The ground was still wet due to the rain from the previous night,but the sun shined brightly.Not a single cloud was in the sky.

But,now wasn't the time to focus on things such as that.

The faint sound of voices snapped me out of my thoughts.

As I approached,I noticed Skylar and Angela sitting on a bench,Liza was sitting on Angela's lap,oblivious to their conversation.I could make out a few small parts of their conversation from where I stood.

" .... Zane will be hung later today ... he doesn't need to be alive in the village anymore since he is a dangerous being to have even in the village.",Angela said softly to Skylar whom nodded her head rested her arms on the helm that sat on her lap.

"Agreed.It will be a public execution,to let the public know they are now safe currently and that one of the worst people in this world is now dead.",Skylar said and then stood up.

"I will be seeing you later,Lady Angela.",Skylar continued,bowing her head at Angela before she then walked off,beginning to slide her helm on while she walked.

Slowly while Skylar left,I approached Angela and then sat down next to her."Mm...ease dropping on my conversations now?So ungentlemanly like.",Angela teased softly,her eyes focused on Liza who was playing with Angela's fingers,despite the fact that there was a little stuffed bunny on her mother's lap.

"Maybe so,Lady Angela.

Anyhow...so you two were discussing about Zane's execution?",I asked and she then went silent,only nodding her head.

"I don't wish for him to have a quick or painless death really... So we decided to hang him,since it will be painful and a little slow in a way."She replied after a minute or two of utter silence."I understand what you mean.My younger brother has killed hundreds of people and tortured hundreds of people,mentally and physically.",Angela nodded her head with me in agreement,after I said that.

"You know,everyone thinks Zane is intelligent in some ways,but really,he's just an utter fool."

"How is that?"

"He was the one that thought he could slaughter hundreds and get away with it."

It was a few more hours before it was time for Zane's public execution.

It was in the plaza where it occurred.A few people showed up,shouting out insults to Zane,whom was just smirking as his head was being put into the noose.

"You'll pay for this,Lady Angela.A hefty price at that.",Zane said with venom in his voice.I stood up at the front of the small crowd,ready to give Skylar the signal to let him hang."It's a price I'm willing to pay in that case.Your death will save hundreds of lives,that were once in danger.",I replied and he barked out hysterical laughter in response,swinging his head back a bit while he laughed.
"Oh,such a great joke for you to tell.",He said while chuckling lowly now.

"Well...I suppose this is the end of me.But not the end of you,Lady Angela.But the beginning of something that I'm becoming aware of.",Zane said cooly."Tell my older brother that he needs to stop dreaming about morons.",He said.

I was taking that as his final words and then snapped my fingers.

A second later,Zane began to choke,swinging slightly.He hacked for awhile before he breathed out his final breath and no longer was moving.

His body was later burned privately,and his ashes were buried outside of the village,deep in the woods.His ashes sat in an unmarked grave.

I saw a few people that had seen his death,celebrating with their families at home.Whilst the sun began to set,I sat down on the grass,on the outskirts of Hetra.After a while though,I heard footsteps behind me and I turned around to find Skylar standing there,holding a letter in her hand.

"For you,Lady Angela.It's from Zane.He asked us guards to give it to you,after he was dead.",She said softly and I nodded my head and carefully took the letter out of her hand.Skylar then bowed her head before she walked off back towards the village.I then unfolded the piece of paper and then silently read it;

Dear Lady Angela,

My death is something that will spark happiness in your village,I can tell.I have enough knowledge and sense to know that prior to my death anxiety and fear roamed through your village and I laugh at that thought.My brother loves you,that I can also tell.

But he does not realize that you will soon pay a large price for your actions today.It saddens me to say that I won't be able to attend your funeral or see you off before you are killed.You're a fighter,so I know already that your death will be interesting.

I can't say that you'll miss me,especially after I say that,but I do believe you'll wish you would have kept me as a prisoner,rather than execute me.Garroth will mourn over you,yes,but will move on in a matter of time and have a family and a wife at his side in the matter of a year or so,if he pleases.
People will move on and Lady Angela,it will be as if you never existed.

Because truly,you never were meant to exist.You were meant to die in that fire.

So I do believe it's about time fate takes your life away,since you ran away from fate sixteen years ago.

Sincerely,

Zane Ro'meave
