~Heyo peeepsss. I'm planning on this to be the last long chapter. Who knows? This is almost ending. A few chapters, 2-3, I don't think it'll be that long. Below is a picture of what the Graydown ring might look like. Not exact, but similar~

The horses landed down gently. The people slid down from the horses, and glared at the guards. There were so many here, perhaps more than the army. And Eden was with them so they must've been on Arine and Marvin's side.
Arine heard a guard sniff. She heard the voice of Harris growl "Time Keepers."
These are Tempus Praestites in different castles. Arine thought.
"How did—how did you kill him?" Harris demanded, his voice betraying no fear except the slight quiver of his jaw.
"It is in our power to do so," a woman with dark skin and and a tight bun said firmly. "To quicken lives to death."
"Leader Paola," the King snarled. "You again."
"Major Leader Paola." the Major Leader bored her eyes to the King.
Arine was trying to process the whole scene at the moment that she didn't realize Marvin was poking her elbow until he whispered loudly to her ear.
"Arine!"
"Oh wait what?" Arine blinked and focused her attention on him.
"Look." he pointed somewhere in the corner of the Wall.
Arine squinted at where Marvin pointed. "I don't...see anything?"
"Exactly!" Marvin breathed. "The Ring isn't there. It's gone."
Arine's eyes widened at that. She looked down at the floor where she and Marvin were standing. She looked at the guards, trying to see if any of them were holding it.
"The guards didn't get a chance to get it yet," Marvin murmured. "It must have fallen into the crack below the wall."
"What!" Arine exclaimed, loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone looked at her, and then snapped back to reality.
"Come on, what are you waiting for? Get the ring!" Harris commanded.
"Master Harris, the ring is not there." a guard squeaked nervously.
"Excuse me?" Harris seethed. He looked at Arine. "Give it."
Arine frowned at him and started to build thorns behind her. "I don't have it."
"I'm asking once, Thorne girl. Give. The. Ring. Or your little Graydown friend will face the consequences first."
"You will not do that." a man who wore garments similar in color and material as Major Leader Paola said.
