-+Spoilers from today's ep+-

You stare in the direction of the marching. It's Aphmau and— well and everyone else. Aphmau is leading the forces... J-Just like her mother. You look to Laurance as he draws his sword.

"I'll protect you with my life," he says. You smirk. You've learned quite a few things in the past 10 years from the wolf tribe. They love a good brawl.

"I don't really need protecting," you finally add, drawing that dagger you keep for emergencies. The army advances.

Eventually, they stop. "We come to demand the daughter of the lord of Phoenix Drop!" one of the guards call back. Not Laurance, eh? Aphmau must have remarried. Laurance doesn't let the hurt show, but you know it's there.

"I AM IRENE!" a voice booms. A winged figure flies at you. It, she, he, whatever, holds a dagger to your throat. "Give me my daughter," it demands. Aphmau? Aphmau is Irene?!

Laurance finally steps in, "Hello, old friend." She looks him up and down.

"Kulzak," she finally says. Kulzak the keeper?! Laurance?! And he knew? Oh my I- Aphmau this is confusing!

The knife is held closer to my throat, causing a warm drop of blood to fall down my neck. I squeal, trying to get my grips. My dagger was thrown too far away from my reach for me to grab. Laurance growls from about 3 feet away.

"Don't come any closer, old friend. Or your lover will be the first to go..."
