The Night stone (The late night crew)

Lana

Princess Lana was called to the throne room. She entered the throne room to see a gruesome scene. Her father was lying on the ground dead. He was untouched since Zak left.
Lana ran to her dead father and kneeled before him.
"Who... Did this?" She asked before bursting into tears.
"Prince Zak, my lady." The captain said.
"Well..." She said while wiping away her tears "that is to be expected of him."
"And so now you are the new leader of Lepstria my lady." The captain of the guard said.
"Really? Not Zak? He is the next heir."
"Would you really expect him to become the new king?" The officer asked with distaste in his voice.
"Well... No." Lana answered.
"Well then. Now you are the new queen." The captain informed "Queen Lana."
The sound of that title made Lana shiver with both excitement and anxiety. Would she make a good leader like her father? Or would she fail at her duty and Lepstria would fall to Zak or some other evil power.
"This is all to much, captain Reginald." Lana sighed.
"Yes, but for someone like you who has had experience with this it won't be as hard!" Reginald reassured.
"Well... Fine. From this day forward I will be Queen Lana."
Reginald smiled at the new Queen. The celebration would be held this evening.

The celebration was very elegant. The whole town of Anviltide was there. Lana wore her brown hair in a messy (but very cute) bun. She had on a long dark red dress with gray lace. Her blue eyes sparkled with anticipation as the paster did the initiation ceremony. Sadly King James Wraith's crown was stolen by Prince Zak so the castle had commissioned a new one. It was made from silver instead of the traditional gold and it had rubies placed decoratively on it. Surprisingly it was only made in one day.

There was an odd man there. He wore fancy clothes but they lacked vibrant color. This man was Sargent Coyle Bodil. He served as a battle mage for Dark Prince Zak and as a spy in certain occasions. He also led the investigation for the Night Stone at a cave not too far from the city.
"Excuse me but I've never met you in town before. I am Earl Naolin."
"My name is Damian Fritjof of Laketown." Coyle lied. He had already planned out a fake name in case anyone asked him who he was.
"Pleasure to meet you Damian." The earl greeted. "I'd like you to meet my wife as well."
Then he turned around and gently grabbed his wife by the arm. She walked with Naolin to go meet "Damian".
She was an elf. She had long curly black hair that went down to her hips.
"Pleased to meet you, Damian. My name is Leda."
"Pleased to meet you, Leda."
After they conversed the captain of the guards spoke up among the crowds.

"May I have everyone's attention? Thank you. As you may have heard King James Wraith was killed by his own son Prince Zak. We would like to warn you that if you see Prince Zak in or near town tell the nearest guard. We are planning on building stronger city walls and doubling the guards on duty at all times. Also, we are looking for people who will seek out Zak for us and kill him. There is a high bounty on him placed by the royal council. That is all."
Everyone started talking about Zak. People made rumors like that "Zak didn't actually kill the King." Or "Zak is a larger power than people might think."
Coyle smiled as he thought of a plan for Zak.
