Lorena's POV:

I've been sitting around the camp fire with Dante waiting for Azura to arrive. Lucinda put a Barrier around the Tower and all of us making others not being able to see us. I wonder if that's why she hasn't arrived. She was supposed to be here in the morning but it's already late afternoon. I then look at Dante to see him with a concerned look.

"Dante...?"

Dante: "Lord Lorena, this Alliance... it scares me."

"Why?"

Dante: "History has taught us that anytime villages come together there has always been conflict. Not within the villages themselves but against others... though we are doing this to protect ourselves and those we are about - I just have this bad feeling. After all, that's the way the King, Lady Irene, defeated became King... it just irks me."

"I see..."

Dante: "Maybe, I'm hoping... this time will be different."

I nod my head. Since I will be the leader of this Alliance I will make sure it's not anything like the past. I then decide to stand up and check on everyone. I go to Malachi to see he's still sleeping.

'He sleeps a lot during the day. That's interesting.'

I then walk towards Laurence who looks like he has something on his mind.

Laurence: "Hm..."

"What's on your mind Laurence?"

Laurence: "Well, I asked Garroth about this Azura person and learned more than I intended to know. Apparently she had a thing for Garroth long ago when they were in training together. She confessed her feelings for him, and he turned her down at the time. He said he was unsure about being in a relationship with someone because of his family and how bad things in O'Khasis had become. I just find this information interesting..."

"How did that even come up?"

He then shrugs.

Laurence: "I guess it's been something that's been a guilt on Garroth's mind. I don't think Azura knew that Garroth was the son of the Lord of O'Khasis so, she probably thought she wasn't good enough for him or something. Though, I'm glad they're on good terms now, otherwise I can see this talk of an Alliance going south way fast..."

"Are you still confident in this Alliance?"

Laurence: "What other option do we have? Again, I'm not saying we have to go to War, I just want to make sure we have a back up plan IF the O'Khasis Alliance decides to take up arms. Let's not worry about this right now. We'll talk more about it when everyone is accounted for. Let's sit tight until then."

I nod my head and walk to Garroth to see him staring off into the distance.

"Garroth?"

Garroth: "Azura is coming."

I look towards the direction he is looking and see her coming towards us with her horse.

A few minutes later

We're all surrounding Lord Burt now that Azura has arrived.

Azura: "How long has it been since he's been out?"

Lucinda: "I presume ever since he left Bright Port..."

Lord Luke: "I'm pretty sure that's how long we were out, so it's been about a week, a little more than that..."
