Seven Souls |Updates Fridays|

36 Rhoswen Solone

A/N: This chapter is shorter than I would have liked it to be but I took a couple months break in the middle of it and can't quite remember what it was I was aiming for. Also it isn't Friday but I haven't been updating on the past couple of Fridays so enjoy a Tuesday chapter.

_Rhoswen Solone_

Rhoswen stood on numb legs as she watched the carriage leave through the gates. There was a good chance she would never see those two again and why she did not know them for long or very well, she felt sad at the thought. That sadness was quickly accompanied by a feeling of dread. If something happened... what would happen? Would she have failed? Would numerous people die?

It was an unfortunate gamble she had to take. What could she possibly do in her position to make things work out? No one wanted to listen to a child. Her mind wandered back to the woman who had appeared into her room. The woman with the organization she could not name... Rhoswen wondered if that was a place she could get help from. Though it didn't seem quite right... she was definitely hiding something.

For now, Rhoswen would have to focus on here and now. She needed to make sure she could meet Ryus and Kehan again, and that girl- Savarine. A twinge of sadness made itself known in her chest. Whatever that girl had endured, Rhoswen definitely felt it. She could only hope to meet her if Ryus and Kehan did their part... though she did not know how they would be able to escape. 

With a sigh she turned and made her way back into the castle. Without much thought to where she was going, she let her legs carry her forth throughout the hallways, numbly walking as she found herself deep in thought. She nearly forgot how terrible she was feeling from the increase in visions.

Soon, the girl found herself standing in front of her father's office chambers. She stared at the big heavy wooden door that stood before her, and then she opened it. She hadn't thought much about what she was going to say to him but she hoped her words would come freely- however they caught in her throat when she saw her eldest sister Rosaline dressed up in her traveling outfit. It instantly clicked in Rhoswens head that this was the time that she would be leaving. It was perfect with the prisoners ahead, no one would think of a noble girl traveling close behind. 

"Ahh, Rhoswen, I was just-"

Rhoswen interrupted her father before he could say much. "I was right. I told you I was right-"

"Rhos-"

"No! Listen! You cannot send her to the capital! Bad things happen there," She wanted to shiver at the memory of how she felt- how Savarine was so sad... What if that happened to Rosaline, whatever it was?

"Bad things? I assure you the capital is very safe, especially the Denheim castle." He told her now. Rosaline had a sour look on her face as she watched her younger sister.

"Nowhere is safe, and you know this-"

Rosaline interrupted now. "I want to go to the capital, do not ruin this for me with your pointless paranoia," She said as she crossed her arms.

"It is not pointless if I am trying to keep you from harm!"

"Keep me from harm? Father!"

"Rhoswen..." He started now, seemingly tired of this. "Your sister is going, nothing you say will change this fact."

"Then why can't I just go with her? They have better medicine practitioners in the capital anyway. Wouldn't it be beneficial?"

"I need you here so I can keep an eye on you-"

"I am not as fragile as you think!"

"So you say, but it is not so. You are becoming delusional, Rhoswen," He said exasperatedly.
