[QUOTE="talien, post: 3458509, member: 3285"] [b]Adventus Regis - Part 13a: The Screams Become Silence[/b] Inside the villa were a wealthy couple, their six children, and more than a dozen servants and slaves. They were all sane and unharmed. “Will he survive?” asked the woman of the house. Cal was a blackened shell of himself. His scales were scarred and flaking. The great chest rose and fell in slow, shuddering gasps. “He’ll live,” said Bijoux. “Onara heals her children.” “He does this all the time,” said Ilmarė. “What happened here?” asked Sebastian. “We saw the first fires just after dark,” said the male owner. “Then we started hearing the screams. We closed the gates and barred the doors, but it wasn’t enough. The mobs came into the hills, storming villa after villa. They were looking for children! We hid them, we did, and we tried to stop the mob but there was just too many of them. They dragged them out of the hiding place and outside to the woman.” “The woman?” asked Ilmarė. “She was tall and thin, dressed in white robes. On her breast was a large pendant with that sign, the yellow one from the play. She wore a pale mask and rode in upon a horse like some fiend. When the children were gathered before her she talked to them for a few minutes, and then blew a conch horn.” “That’s when the monster appeared!” said one of the slaves. “Monster?” asked Sebastian. “It dropped out of the sky like a hawk. It was like a cursed union of bat and man, with horns like a ram. The thing grabbed the children and flew off into the night.” “I don’t like the sound of that,” said Beldin. “We’ve got to get to our equipment, fast.” “We could hear the woman saying one of them might be chosen by the Nameless King for a great honor and that they were being taken to him for judgment. Then she rode off towards the arena.” “We’ll need horses,” said Ilmarė. “Done,” said the man of the house. “We can spare two horses, the rest we’ll need to leave town ourselves. They’re yours.” “That’s not enough,” said Beldin. Cal slowly rose to his feet. The soot flaked off of him as Bijoux’s healing magic took hold. “No horse will allow me to ride it,” said Sebastian. He looked Cal up and down. “It’s enough.” [/QUOTE]
