Phoenix Drop: The Missing Guards

The Man At The Gates (Aphmau's View)

After hours of trying to sleep, and failing, Brian came running in to my bedroom

"LORD APHMAU, ZANE, HE'S HERE AT THE GATES!" said Brian loudly

"Take me to him," I said with fear

We ran out of my house and ran to the gates with our swords out. Zane was indeed there, he had something in his hand. It seemed to be a amulet.

Zane is our enemy if you didn't know. He is the reason for most of this. He is our lead, he might've took them, my guards were probably taken by HIM. But we have no proof, but he is our ONLY enemy and not to mention he is Garroth's brother. Garroth has always hated his brother, if he didn't he wouldn't be on our side. Also Garroth was supposed to have an arranged marriage to make their forces stronger. Garroth ran away from there and went here before Phoenix Drop was a town.

"Hello Lord Aphmau," said Zane
"Zane WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I said with anger.
"Aphmau don't you remember my little request?"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" I said unsure

I really knew what he was talking about, the marriage, years ago he tried to force me to marry him. I never knew why, probably to get my armies or what Laurence used to say that he wanted me to get married to him to make him and Garroth jealous. Even though Garroth doesn't love me like that.

"You remember, I can see it in your eyes," He said with pride.
"That was years ago Zane whats the point now?" I said
"You really are cute, you know that right?
"I hate you,"
"That makes it even better, Guards get her NOW!" he said

Not too soon after that, the guards were at our gates and Brian opened them...

"What are you doing Brian?" I yelled
"Protecting this town from you," he said back sadly

Just like that the guards took me away with Zane with iron ankles around my leg. I knew I was going to get married today or tomorrow. I just wish I could say I love you to my sons.
