Axel woke up in the infirmary the next day. He tried to talk to people, but everyone scurried away, as if they were scared. He was sitting there wondering why when Mary walked in. "Hey Axel, how ya doing?" Mary asked politely. Faking pain Axel said "Owwwwwwww. It hurts!". "What hurts" Mary asked worriedly. "Looking at your face" Axel said with a smirk. Mary slapped him playfully. Still laughing Axel asked " So why is no one talking to me besides you?". "Well Axel, last night, you blacked out after the attack, but your body was literally on fire. The villagers are scared of you. Some even want you dead." Mary said fearfully. "Well Mary there is only one thing left to do. Run." Axel said grim faced. "Well if that is what your doing I think you need to here something. When the elders were assembled last night the said something interesting. Apparently the Skandians that were attacking us were being paid by Prince Socorro, heir to the throne of Oslavia." Mary told Axel. Axel nodded absentmindedly. "I will leave at dawn. I want you to stay here. You'll be safer. Also, tell me where the Kings army is currently." Said Axel. "They will be at Golden valley." Said Mary leaving.
