I stood before Lord Garte, his gaze hard upon me."What is your business here?"His voice boomed as his wife stood beside of him, quiet and still.

"I bring news of one of your children."I stated and Lady Ro'meave snapped out of it rather quickly."What about our children?"She asked in a frantic voice, that I could tell was filled with hope.

"Zane Ro'meave was recently killed in a village not far from here.He was alive until yesterday."I stated and Lady Ro'meave gasped."My little Zu Zu..."She whispered while her husband's expression became twisted with rage and sorrow.
He looked at me with clenched visits."Which village killed my son?"He hissed the words out like a venomous snake.

"The village known as Hetra, Lord Garte."I replied and he growled.I couldn't help but smirk."The Lord of that village will be paying a hefty price and soon.Thank you, for informing myself and Lady Ro'meave.You may take your leave."He stated firmly and with that, I turned on my heel and left in silence.

But from behind me I could hear him shouting for the head guard of the village

"Poor Lady Angela."

~ A n g e l a ' s  POV ~

Liza was sitting on my lap, happily playing with my fingers and giggling while I was watching her.The sun was shining today and the flowers in the village looked beautiful today.It was what some might call a perfect day.Aphmau was playing with the children in the village it seemed like.It looked innocent enough, but I could tell she was thinking of her own children and how much she had missed of their lives.
Yet she hadn't missed a second of so many other lives.I could tell she thought it was unfair and I could whole heartedly see where she was coming from.

She was the one who had missed fifteen years in our world.And we had missed fifteen minutes of her's.It was a lot to swallow and adjust to.I worried about her and the others and how they were adjusting since no one had dared to ask them yet.You could only wonder, when you didn't have an answer.

I felt like if I asked them anyways, their answers would all be the same.Just to make me not worry about them anymore than I already did.I felt someone's eyes on me and I carefully turned around, while holding little Liza tightly in my arms.

Garroth stood in front of me now, chuckling a bit as I shot a playful glare at him.He then sat down next to me and lightly brushed his finger along Liza's cheek.She stirred for a moment before she opened her twinkling eyes to look up at the blonde.She smiled and then yawned before she then leaned a bit into his touch.
"Someone's happy today."He murmured softly before he glanced back at me.I couldn't help but smile a bit before he laughed lightly, but shyly in a way as he looked at me.I reached out carefully and ruffled his blonde hair for a moment before he made a face, shooting a look at me.
But the sounds of screaming and shouting, managed to pull this small moment away from my loose grasp.I could never afford a moment like this, being a lord.Though, I loved to lead my people to a better tomorrow, if I can.
Garroth stood up straight."Hand me Liza, so you can run ahead and find out what's going on."He spoke in a stern, firm tone.He sounded older, more like a head guard, rather than the more gentle and playful person I knew him to be.Carefully, I handed over Liza.

She was beginning to wake up and I frowned before I carefully nodded my head."Take care of her.".That was all I could manage to say before I ran off.

The sounds of feet hitting solid ground was all I could hear and was what I was focusing on as I ran towards the screaming and shouting.It was near the gate of the village.
Families were hurriedly running to their homes and gathering together, if they couldn't find the other members of their family that were scattered around the village.Skylar was clearing all of the villagers away from the main gate.

I approached her and looked at her worried expression for a moment.Outside, I saw a male and an army behind him.

It was the lord of O'Khasis."Where is your lord?"The man boomed in a deep, hollow and emotionless tone.
I swallowed and nodded my head at Skylar.She opened the gate and I looked over the lord for a small moment."I am the Lord Of Hetra."I stated firmly.

And then his guards seized, grasp a holding of my arms and removing the few weapons I had on me on the spot.They held my arms behind my back.

Skylar screamed in protest, but was held back by two other guards."Lord Angela, you are being taken prisoner by myself for the crime of killing my son, without reason."He boomed.

And I remember a few sharp, instant waves of pain roll through my body.

Everything went black after that, and I felt my knees buckle underneath me.
