The doors burst open and two young men entered carrying in a bloody one.

Sue Mobecc rushed to their aid. She asked what happened and they mentioned that he had been attacked on his way here. They said that he and others have been ambushed by royal guards. They barely managed to escape them for they were a lot. Anger coursed through her body when she heard it. She wanted to do nothing more than crush them with her bare hands. What have they done to them so they could attack them?

The man was mumbling something. Sue's men said that the other two that accompanied him died on their way here by the wounds they had received.

This man had his brown hair darkened with blood, as well were some of his clothes. There was a big slash on the man's right side of his face. His lips were moving, but whatever he was saying, it sounded like pure gibberish to Sue's ears.

"What?" She gently asked him as she inched closer to his mouth so she could hear him better. This close, the metallic scent of blood was so strong. He also smelled of various days of going unwashed.

He was shaking his head, sobbing.

"End," the man said.

"End what?" she asked.

"The end is coming," he said, "I saw it, and it is close."
