Zypher felt bad not telling Dialh anything about the root of wh the queen may have left but at this point Tempest and Allen were the only two he could trust to find who it could be since they both had good excuses for something if they were to get caught. Tempest was already known for pulling pranks so that was her little lie. Allen was Allen who always snooped about so everyone just figured he was paranoid and left him alone. Zypher didn't stay at the castle to do his investigtion he would be figured out for snooping on the other residence. So he went to the underworld to see if anything came up. He wa disturbed greatly after a whole day of searching he found two assasin's who claimed to know of a good job killing the queen and her sons. Zypher wrapped a red cloth around his face and wore a black cloak to hide his appearnace when he walked through the underworld. He was going there to meet these assasins.
Both of them were human one with blonde hair and the older one had grey. Nothing more can be seen since they covered themsleves up the same way Zypher did but in all black. "Hey I heard your gonna kill the royal family for good money.... What does it take to get in on this?" Zypher asked under his scarf. His voice even sounded differnet.
"We just don't let anyone in sonny you gotta prove your worth. Are you even an assasin? Dressing like one doesn't make you...." The man was cut off when a dagger skimmed past his face cuttting is check a bit.
All in that same moment Zypher tugged at a string the Dagger was connected to pulling it back into his cloak. "Don't test me I only work for interesting jobs with a thrill. If I don't get my thrill I take live for fuin instead." This time Zypher said this with blood lust in his voice. An obvious murderous intent.

The girl tilted her head to the side. She seemed puzzled. Serenity whispered quietly to herself. "Orian. You have a wonderous name." A knowing smile crept to her lips.
Paradox hit his hammer against the wall after they left. The opening closed again in a pile of rocks. "Everyone has regrets, dialh. I will forgive you no matter what you do. Don't worry about it." Paradox replied politely. There were almost back to the castle now. The crystal cavern would hopefully be sealed for another hundred years.

Quote: Lupus placed a hand on his Sword "My Men and I are not just here for Relaxsation Miss, The South is not as Fortified as Engel, Also those murderous Heretics crawl around like Rats" he said this in complete Disgust as he turned to a Soldier lowering his voice "Take A message to Engel make sure they send guards down to the capital to Patrol near the Castle and All gates" he turned back to Dialh and gave a polite bow. Soon Lupus' Orders had reached Engel after a long March threescore Soldiers, Sang a proud Song of the North getting closer to the Capital's Outskirts Soon a Young man with Grey eyes and hair carrying a Spear Marching ahead of the troops Shouted Proudly "Hoi! up there Our Lord sent us here to visit the South he laughed" as they stood then began to march as the gates opened. (Will post Profile later)

Dialh gave a warm smile looking up to him quite worried about everything in fact. "The house of wolf is here and it couldn't be at a worse time. Her majesty wouldn't want him falling prey to .. well I don't even know what all it is but I know you do. We both know she tries to keep Llyr and personal stuff seprate." She spoke truthfully.
Orian stopped and looked back to her. "It is common where i am from, used a lot in Rhina as well as i hear." He flashed a smile then.

Not moments later after some words were exchanged Zypher found the truth and thought that the general should know this. "I see...." Zypher said hearing the two men talk. They started to sing like birds about the job they were offered. Who hired them was very distrubing though but they didn't knw the reason for being hired was the problem. Making a move too soon would cause problems so he figured they can sing to the general as well. "Well now little birdies I'll have you come back with me." Zypher said his voice back to its calm sarcastic tone.
"What a spy? You brats snooping about our buisness...." The grey haired assasin pulled a short sword from his cloak and dashed at Zypher with inhuman speed.
Zypher laughed under his scarf moving aside as the old man fell over. "The dagger were poisoned I'm rather good at mixing those kinds of things I can really only drag one of you easily....." Zypher said glaring at the blonde haired man. "That man is dead and all I did was make one attempt of attack...." Zypher fazed over like a blur to the other assasin lightly cutting him with his other dagger. "This one however instantly makes you numb. No struggeling now or you might fall on your own...."

The general made his way up to the main hall with Dialh. He heard the people of the wolf, too. The General waited for them to make their dynamic entry, because it sure wouldn't be quiet. "Queen Katherine is out for a camping picnic if anybody asks. A long exotic picnic." Paradox told Dialh before they entered.
The girl blinked. "You have good hearing!" She cried aloud. She had whispered it and he still heard. Amazing. "It's still a beautiful name. Your a lucky guy." She flashed a smile back at the older clerk.

She noded some about that before they came through she said one last thing. "politcaly it is best if she stays in his favor." She spoke understanding that much. "Be warned though we have no choice but to listen to him at least until Sekain shows up."
Orian looked back to her. "What do you want little one?" finding this conversation kept getting more intersting.

Tempest heard the noise of soldiers coming. "Who the heck makes that much ruccus?!" She said coming ow the hall.
Allen was with Tempest at the time watching over her while Zypher was gone. Zypher made it clear to not let her out of her site for the mean time. And since Dialh was in the company of the general she was safe gaurded as well.
Tempest looked up as if something poked her in the back. She could feel the familiar aura of her brother coming back quickly. "My brother's home!" She said gleefully.
Zypher heard the other soldiers and didn't want them to find out this info just yet..... He didn't use the front gate, instead he dashed to the side of the castle using the night as his cover. nearing the side of the castle he used a passageway very few new about. He and Allen worked on it when Zypher was nineteen and the two agreed it would be best to make a secret way in and out of the castle.

The girl smiled, content. "Please don't tell my bodyguard where I've been. You see. He wasn't exactly truthful about what happened with us in Rhina, Orian." She told him, quietly, so noone else could hear. She had escaped her bodygaurd, who thought she was outside, away from anything dangerous. She knew she could trust this man, or at least, what he would do with such information. Knowledge was power after all.
Paradox nodded. He understood as well. Even as a general, he had his own political power.

Orian looked confused for a moment. "You should be careful about that her majesty has many friends in Rhina and will find out sooner or later." Not asking what but giveing helpful enough advise.
Dialh looked back seeing Allen and Tempest. "The house of wolf is makeing us feel.. safe." She gave a sarcastic smile as well as her sarcastic tone.

Zypher entered in through the basment of the castle and weaved his way through empty corridors to avoid people seeing him. He was looking for Tempest and Allen to try and get the general for him. Lucky for him Tempest found him herself with Allen tailing behind.
Tempest saw the man Zypher had flung over his shoulder. Tempest ran off away from Paradox and Dialh when she felt Zypher coming through the castle a different way. "Who is this?" She asked walking around to look at the man's face
"Someone who knows what's going on. I found why the queen left. I numbed him with the paralis herbs you brought back with you from the village. I need you to give him the antitode for it in a bit." Zypher said just dropping the man off his shoulder. The man looked dead but was still breathing. Zypher removed the cloak and scarf and took a deep breath. It was warm and stuffy wearing that stuff after all.
"Allen. Get the general please. If he is alone tell him we have info about the queen if he is in the company of others tell him a soldier needs to speak with him about some bandits that are causing trouble in town." Zypher said.
Allen nodded. "It will be done. I can't wait to figure out the truth." Allen said stoming off to look for the general Paradox.

Serenity smiled at Orian. "It doesn't matter, anymore. They wouldn't even acknowledge me even if she asked. I was exiled, banished, never to return." The girl told him quietly. Tears started to tun down her cheeks, she was starting to cry. The wolf had been the only one of her bodyguards to go with her, and he had been needed, because of the hundred assasin attempts after that.
Paradox was in the main hall, waiting for the people from the lands of the wolf.

Allen ran back from down the hall to where Dialh and Paradox both were. He figured he could trust Dialh and looked at them both. "Zypher has some information on the queen." He said silently so o one else may hear. "Please fallow me. That soldier is awaitinghis orders on how to deal with those banidts general." Allen said in a clear regular voice of his.

Orian looked confused seeming to have little sympthy for the girl. She was just a girl however. "Why then were you banished?" A girl child for what? The thought was silly to him.
Dialh looked to Paradox. "You go I will handle things on this end. " Meaning she would speak to the noble house that was far more important. Dialh walked forward towards the man then. She gave a warming smile. "Thank you for comeing to the capital. Though there is truely little need for the force you have brought to our doors." She spoke politely. "I am Lady Dialh Brightblade."
