Lorena's POV:

I am standing in the front of my house with the Lord of Scaleswind and Nicole. I wanted to discuss with him what my Guards are doing and I wanted to ask how his Guards will be of help.

"I wanted to let you know that the Gaurds from my Alliance are helping with nursing people back to health. Even though some are O'Khasis Guards I believe in helping everyone to good health. However, I will hold them for trial and decide what punishment they shall recieve. Now, I wanted to ask how you'll be aiding us?"

Lord of Scaleswind: "I have my Guards in charge of damage control. We've detained as many O'Khasis Guards as we could catch... the majority of them ran off with their tails between their legs."

"Any sign of Zane?"

Lord of Scaleswind: "Zane ran off minutes after we broke down the Walls. We've yet to have seen him. For his own safety he better not return here or it will be my hand that slays him."

"I'm sorry to ask this but... how did Zane convince you to attack Phoenix Drop?"

Lord of Scaleswind: "As you know Nicole was thought to be dead. We saw her get stabbed and pushed into a river by an O'Khasis Guard. Turns out Nicole actually bought a very expensive illusion potion and faked her own death to get out of her arranged marriage to the elder son of the Lord of O'Khasis. I was utterly devastated and waged war upon O'Khasis. As you have seen I am not one who likes to ask questions, I simply act on my anger - a fatal trait.

In any case... after many moons of fighting, Zane approached our Gates, just as I was about to give the command to kill him, he spoke to me words I could not believe... Nicole was ALIVE. She was alive and was taken captive by the Lord of Phoenix Drop, in order to incite war between Scaleswind and O'Khasis. Not only did the Lord of Phoenix Drop take Nicole but she also took Garroth - to bend both O'Khasis and Scaleswind to her will. After hearing this... I flew off my rocker and came here. The rest you already know."

"I can't believe he lied to you like that..."

Lord of Scaleswind: "It will be the last time he ever lies to anyone. I will make sure every allied village and beyond knows of his betrayal. O'Khasis will be the center of conflict for many ages, even the Faith of Lady Irene will shake at the thought of him being the High Priest of her Faith. He'll be overthrown of his position.

Zane. Will. Pay."

"Sir... as much as I would love to see the same thing. We must not make rash decisions that could continue to hurt our people."

Lord of Scaleswind: "Eh... you're right, I just need to rest for a tad. Know that Nicole is not innocent in this either. Her selfish actions caused this as well... I know she's young but she's still my daughter. I'd have punched her across the face for her actions too if she wasn't my daughter... but the thought of hurting my little girl is beyond me. I need to calm down... please give me a moment Lady Lorena."

"Of course. You are more than welcomed to use my home as a resting area. Please head inside and down the stairs, the first door on you right is a guest room."

He nods his head and thanks me as he walks inside. I then turn to Nicole who laughs awkwardly.

Nicole: "Heh, well... who knew a girl like me, could help bring peace to this world with a swift uppercut."

"Nicole!? Where were you!? Who took you away!?"

Nicole: ".... Brian took me and hid myself and Roxy inside of that cell underneath - what he called - the "Old Lord's House". He kept us there until Emmalyn and Kenmur came along. Thank goodness too because I couldn't tell what time of day it was anymore. My sense of night and day had faded and I was beginning to question my sanity."
