Lorena's POV:

I look over the village from my tower to see there are more Guards than yesterday. I tried leaving my house this morning with Kiki but the Guard outside my house won't let me and yells at me to go back inside. I decide to go downstairs and check on Kiki to see if she's awake. I walk up to her and she seems to be awake.

"Kiki...?"

Kiki: "Lorena... we have to get out of here and to the Werewolf Village... what's going on...?"

"Kiki, please remain calm... you're burning up."

Kiki: "I... I need to see Bodolf."

"Kiki, please just rest... I'll get you to him."

Kiki: "I-I can't h-he's in trouble and he needs me..."

"YOU need a Doctor right now."

Kiki: "I DON'T LORENA I NEED TO SEE BODOLF! HE NEEDS ME!"

"Keep your voice down."

Kiki: "NO! THIS FEELS WEIRD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?"

I try to calm her down when suddenly I hear the front door open and the Guard that was in front of my house marches in.

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "KEEP YOUR FRIEND QUIET OR WE'LL TAKE HER TO OUR TEMPORARY PRISON HERE!"

"Do you even know who I am? I am the Lord of Phoenix Drop."

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "Lord of Phoenix Drop, eh? Come to seek an audience with Lord Burt then, huh? Well, that's too bad. Lord Burt is temporarily out on a peace treaty signing. W-Wait, you're LORD Lorena aren't you...? Well, this just made my job ten times easier, haha! Zane is going to reward me handsomely..."

"What are you talking about?"

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "Oh, well... this is just between you and me... but High Priest Zane has issued a command to all O'Khasis Guards to apprehend you."

"WHAT!? WHY!? ON WHAT CHARGES!?"

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "What do you mean charges? You should consider yourself lucky woman."

"Huh?"

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "High Priest Zane is looking for your hand in marriage. He spoke of how you lost your blind fiancé to a vicious attack from a feral Werewolf. Rest assured any Werewolf who is in our presence will wish they never crossed paths with us. I can't believe Bright Port made peace with the nearby tribe. That will change when they joined the O'Khasis Alliance...

* Ahem * Sorry, back to the topic. Zane said he took a special interest in you. Since you helped him find his long lost eldest brother Garroth, the treaty of O'Khasis and Scaleswind will finally be complete. Zane said it would be a shame to just have one happy wedding when both sons of O'Khasis can wed. Isn't that wonderful of him. You should be honored he picked you."

"LIES! HE'S LYING! THIS ISN'T TRUE AT ALL!"

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "... Heh, heh, heh. No... I'm pretty sure he's telling the absolute truth... I was there after all."

"You're one of the Guards who is with him...?"

O'Khasis #3 Guard: "Indeed. I was there and saw the whole thing... everything Zane said was true. Hm, I wonder how Garroth is it going to take this news... OoOoOh! Even better, how is LAURENCE going to take this news? He lied about being your fiancé after all... he must care about you in someway."
