[Kingdom of Luminara - Prince's Court. Located only a stone's throw from the North-Eastern section of the palace. Night has fallen, yet the sky is full of an unnatural light from the burning town. Enter Prince Zaos Dralguth and Akasa St.Clair, they are at the edge of the court's pond having a heated discussion]
Akasa St.Clair: Your father has to know something about this!
Zaos Dralguth: We've been over this already and I'm tired of repeating myself! my father is not what caused all of this, he sees beyond race.
Akasa St.Clair: Whatever you want to think doesn't change the fact we are at risk of losing everything. Malaika will know what to do.
Zaos Dralguth: Wait, somebody is coming.
[Enter Malaika. His body is shrouded in a black hooded cloak. A solid gold mask conceals his identity from both Akasa and Zaos. He stands a considerable distance away from them but is clear enough to make out their voices and faces]
Zaos Dralguth: [to Malaika] I am Prince Dralguth of Luminara. Identify yourself to me.
Malaika: Your father as ordered for you to return to the palace. I am your escort.
Akasa St.Clair: [to Malaika] Malaika told us to stay here until he returned, we will not be leaving here until then.
Zaos Dralguth: [to Akasa St.Clair]: I'll go and check it out, you stay here until I return.
Akasa St.Clair: We wait here for further instruction, I don't trust whoever this is.
[Malaika begins to approach the two silently as they continue to quarrel. Zaos Dralguth notices his approach, drawing his rapier and pointing it in the direction of Malaika]
Zaos Dralguth: Remove your mask immediately and identify yourself!
[Malaika continues to approach, singling in on Zaos Dralguth. Once Malaika is within striking distance, Zaos Dralguth lunges forward to subdue Malaika, whose identity still remains unknown to them.
Malaika intercepts the strike with his now armoured gloves, using his other hand to grasp Zaos Dralguth firmly by the throat, picking him up off the ground, causing the rapier to fall into the grass]
Akasa St.Clair: ZAOS! [she reaches her hand in front of her, her pure white pupils shining as she manifests a spectral blade before her very grasp, ready to save fight to save her fiancé from the masked assailant ]
Malaika: Steady yourself. No harm shall befall the prince.
