Zag note - "adeline by lunch hour meet me by the old oak tree, across the aker bridge. I need to discuss something with you"

(Adeline) the old oak? Zags never been one to go down there

(Maryell) what's going on adeline?

(Adeline) I need to head out for a bit, Zag is requesting me

(Maryell) it's nearly lunch time, what could he want?

(Adeline) I actually don't know, he asked if I could meet him by the old oak tree near the Ryder's residence

(Maryell) be safe sweetie

(Adeline) I will

(Maryell) be home for supper

(Adeline) I will *running to oak tree* "Zagerus said to meet by the old oak tree, I don't see him"

(Florian) *walking out from behind tree* So you're dumb enough to fall for one little note

(Adeline) Florian? *looking at paper* you wrote this?

(Florian) who else would? Besides *walking towards adeline* I wanted to talk

(Adeline) haven't you caused enough problems? What do you need now?

(Florian) I need you, Zag is so stuck on you I wanted to know why, why would a town girl like you want him?

(Adeline) because no matter my title zag likes me for me, your jest a jerk I met on the first day

(Florian) who cares if I splashed you in some water it's not like I hurt you

(Adeline) I don't have time for this *turning around* You're wasting my time Florian if you didn't need me I'm leaving

(Florian) *pulling adelines wrist* stay here you shouldn't leave

(Adeline) let go of me!

(Florian) *shoving adeline against tree* you know my father had an eye for your mother all those years ago, but once she had a child with a royal knight, he always wanted his revenge

(Adeline) what are you talking about? My mother never knew who my father was it was a one night stand

(Florian) your father is the man you share that very home with the man my father despises, so I thought maybe I'd take revenge for him

(Adeline) so you wished to get close to me only to hurt me for your own father

(Florian) well my father wished to hurt sir Florence but he had other plans once he saw your mother and you eleven years ago

(Adeline) did your father kill my mother?

(Florian) *holding hand on adelines throat* yes he did for revenge now he wished you were never born or your mother would have been the great queen standing here today, what should I do with you? After all, I'm having fun already pissing Zagerus off now that he's chosen you

(Adeline) let...go...of....me

(Florian) if you fight it your death will be slow and painful

(Adeline) *kicking florians chest* I said let go!

(Florian) *shoving Adeline downhill onto rocks* maybe you'll die quicker now

- in town -

(Zagerus) *knocking on cottage door*

(Maryell) *opening door* Zagerus what are you doing here?

(Zagerus) I came to see if adeline was home

(Maryell) I thought adeline was with you, did she leave your meeting spot early?

(Zagerus) meeting spot? What are you talking about?

(Florence) what's going on?

(Maryell) you left adeline a note for her to meet you by the Corona oak tree that is where she was off too, you did leave that note for her didn't you?

(Zagerus) Florian! *glowing red eyes* that damn bastard!

(Florence) wait we need an army if we're going after him, if he called for adeline then it isn't a good reason

(Zagerus) I know that

(Florence) his father killed adelines mother

(Zagerus) *standing in shock* what?

(Florence) his son is after revenge for his father, they are after me as well because I am adelines father

(Zagerus) why didn't you tell her!?

(Florence) we were planning to when she was eighteen but we need an army and we need to act fast *grabbing sword* let's go!
