Chapter 5: Cazzlyn

Cazzlyn woke up staring at the starry sky. All she could remember was she was in her living areas, and now she was staring up at the stars. They were arranged in the word LEGEND. She had learned how to read consolations because of her sister. 

"Keep her down," a strong voice ordered. "She looks dangerous,"

Cazzlyn glared. "Shouldn't I be worried about you?" she felt strong arms gripping her elbows. "Let me go!" She patted her back for the bow she always took with her on adventures. As expected, it was gone. 

"No, not until Commander Ozul says so," this voice sounded worried. 

"Break some rules, or something bad will happen," she growled. "Possibly a tornado," she bent her neck to watch the guard's reaction. He looked horrified. 

He released his grip on her elbows. She landed hard on the ground.

"That's not what I meant," she ran her fingers through her white hair and stared up at the moon. Reminding her of Castilla. "I would like my bow back as well, thank you. The one with the sliver designs across it,"

"Anyways," the commander cleared his throat. "I'll take care of them," he pointed to the scared guards behind her. "And we will have a little talk," he smirked devilishly.

Cazzlyn eyed him suspiciously. "I would prefer to have the guards here for your own safety,"

"Ahh, Castilla's sister?"

Cazzlyn glared fiercely, her green eyes looking like dark emeralds. "Keep her name out of your mouth," She leaned against the throne's wall. "She doesn't deserve that,"

"She died for a good cause," the king rumbled. He passed one of his servants her bow, and they dropped it front of her feet. Cazzlyn picked it up and ran her fingers over the silver drawings, checking for any damage. Nothing had changed, luckily. 

"She died because of me," she uttered. "He would still be fine if-." Guards gripped her elbows again. 

She turned towards them with a malicious look in her eyes. "You guys don't take orders seriously, do you?"

"N-No ma'am," the guard stuttered. "I only take orders from Commander Ozul."

"Break some rules a few times, buster," she draped her braid over her shoulders.

"Take her to her cell," Commander Ozul sneered. She felt another guard grip her elbow, and they started dragging her.

You're delusional," Cazzlyn sneered back as the wind speed picked up. "And that's what I was warning you about,"

The guards shivered. "Commander Ozul, what do we do now?"

"Continue taking her to her cell,"

"You keep people like me on floor 500." Cazzlyn stated. "And if I am correct, I will be in cell 509." The breeze picked up behind her. 

Commander Ozul looked shocked. "You could be useful,"

"I won't be useful to anyone," she stated as the wind turned into a tornado. "Let me go, or this palace will be gone in the span of five minutes,"

She turned to the door and face planted into Cedar.

"There you are, Cazz," his voice was raspy. He was splattered in blood and his gray eyes had a firey glow in them. 

"Cedar?" she trembled underneath him. "How did you get in here?"

"Doesn't matter," he muttered. "Let's just get out of here,"
