In the Outlands, a handsome man- looked similar to the old knave of hearts though with two perfectly functioning blue eyes and no facial scarring, rode up to the Red Queen's old heart shaped castle.
He knocked at the door and received no answer. He opened the door and heard silence. He walked through the castle to the courtyard.
There he saw the rotting corpse of Ilosovic Stayne. His red eye patch hanging off his face and a sword lodged in his chest.
The young man fell to his knees,hung his head and wept for hours. Finally he looked up again to the dead body. "I promise you my brother, I will avenge you!" He told the lifeless form in his deep sorrow filled voice.
With that Stayne's younger brother left the courtyard, in search of the Red Queen. Finding that the monarch was not in the castle, he exited the empty building.
"Down with the bloody big head!" He yelled, his voice filled with pain hurt and regret, as he mounted his horse and set out to locate and destroy his brother's murderer.
As he rode away the people who served Iracebeth during her time in the Outlands all came out to see what the commotion was about. They all shared their opinions on this soldier like man and most of them vowed to help him in whatever way they could as the Red Queen had wronged many of them or their families too.
Well dearies, what do think so far? Do you like the idea of Stayne having a brother who wants revenge?
Fairfarren all!
