"Harold." He said again, his voice softer than before, his gaze disoriented, eyes glistening; almost hazed as he looked upon Harold.

Harold's eyes widened in surprise as, out of the blue, the almighty King fell down from his throne with a thud, an arrow made of silver protruding out of his back, his robe bloodied.

He rushed towards the King with a startled gasp.

"Milord-" though before he could do anything, a deep sigh left king's lips his parting words being, "Rebels. Rebels. Everywhere."
