"He won't talk Nate." Cayden sighed leaning back against the cell wall watching as his friend take his anger out on the Odiosis caught smuggling guns into the city. "Non of them seeme to know much of anything."
Despite his friends words Nate continued his attack using his magic to suffocate the man into a state of almost death. He didn't like getting his hands dirty with the physical stuff.
"Nate!" Cayden attempted again. "Stop you're killing him!"
Finally after much persuasion he softened his hand and released the gasping prisoner with a huff. Breathing heavily he looked down as the pathetic being tried so hard to stay alive.
"Disgusting." Nate spat before looking over at a Novis guard shivering in fear in the corner. "Pick him up and put him back in the cage. Since he won't talk i'll decide what to do with him in the morning."
With a meek nod the guard ran over to retrieve the struggling Odiosis.
"Wait." The man coughed. "I-have-something" Nate and Cayden stopped looking down at the man in suspicion.
"It's about time." Cayden muttered.
"Speak!" Nate demanded looking down at him with a raised eyebrow.
"The young Partum." Both men tensed at the mention of Evelyn. The silence urging him to continue. "She's who we-they want."
Nate saw red. In a burst of anger he stormed towards the now wide eyed and terrified man using magic to lift him into the air suspended by the force in Nathaniel's hand.
The guard scurried out of the room knowing what was to come, while Cayden remained unfazed by Nates behaviour but curious to the involvement of Evelyn.
"This is all you know?" Nathaniel questioned with a nonchalant expression.
"Yes!" He moaned in pain. "I swear." He forced out.
"Well." Nathaniel smirked. "There's no reason to keep you alive then is there?" He tightened his hand in almost a fist as the mans eyes widened.
"P-please." He choked. "Wife-children-my- little-g-girl ." His words were almost incoherent but Nathaniel could hear.
"Perimo!" Nathaniel shouted. And just like that the man dropped in a morbid mangled fashion to the floor lifeless and dead. Eyes open wide enough for Nate to see his own reflection staring back at him.
"Evel-" Cayden began before being silenced by Nathaniel's hand being held up.
"Get someone to clean that up." He instructed nodding towards Cayden before pushing himself out of the cell door ,up the stairs to find Evelyn.

The girls sat in Sirona's bedroom picking out brand new opulent dresses for the formal summer ball , also known as the Aestas ball, taking place that night. Zana scanned each dress with meticulous care whilst Adeline and Sirona laughed at the funny looking hats they obtained the week before from the maids. Since the young Octavus were often forbidden to leave the palace grounds the maids often went out to get them clothes and items. In this case outfits for the ball. Evelyn smiled and sat watching her friends.
"This one would suit you Ade." Sirona nodded towards a ruby dress Zana was surveying. Adeline scurried over to look.
"Oh it's lovely." She touched the dress with a face in awe.
