The next day Demise woke up and went to the granary for some food, when he saw someone running up to at first his first reactions were that his his dream was coming to life but then he just figured that it his friend or something like that, but when they got to him he only wished it was his friend. They said every part in his dream and told him to run for help. Demise didn't listen to him though, he ran for his father to see if it was true. By the time he got to his he was crying his eyes out. " Whats wrong?" asked William. " A peasant told me that a plague had destroyed the city and that you were dead." said Demise as a tear ran down his cheek leaving a silver glisten on his cheek. " Who was this peasant that told you this, was he an upper or lower class peasant." asked William sternly. " Lower, why?" asked Demise, " Because if he said that I was dead, than he is planning to kill me and now we know just how he is going to do it, by releasing a plague on the castle." said William turning to his general. " I understand, my lord." the general said then turned to the door toward the barracks. When the general got to the barracks the men were already ready for the search. Demise watched the soldiers march out of the barracks and to the village in search for the peasant.


After about a year the soldiers came back but there was something about them that wasn't usual. A day after the soldiers returned a devastating plague hit the entire castle, killing thousands in seconds without warning. The castle suffered several things but the plague was the worst than that has happened at the castle. After about a week Demsie went to his father to check if he was, but when he got to Williams bed chambers it was just too heart breaking to talk about.
