Katherine noded some. "Take care." She spoke watching him go before turning back and walking back towards them and the painting.
((edited.)) Micon smiled then looking to Jack that means he won. "Set beating you again then?" His attention then turned towards the girl. "But you are considerd demons not mortals. Your clan. So explain to me why you would have been slaved?"
Dialh smiled abit. "I was thinking maybe a walk. You need it after today." She spoke and holding her hand out for him to take. "Plus i think i should have one as well."

His head tilts aside slightly, and he would drum his fingertips upon the spherical top of his cane. "I did not trust anyone else to do what I could do." He now watches Micon momentarily before continuing. "I am going to give a lesson." He now looks back to that picture. "In order to have something.. In order to own anything of real value to anyone. Land. People. Slaves, an entire kingdom... You need corpses. You need to kill in order to gain anything. It is a simple rule in life. Katherine may not have needed to kill an entire army in order to own this land, but her family before her had to.. that is the way of the world, crush those beneath you until you are comfortable. Each person here has killed to survive, each person here has created a bridge of corpses.. How big your bridge is depends upon the person.. where that bridge leads is up to you." Silence a moment. He would toss that cane away, and the moment it touches the floor it seems to sink right through without touching the solid substance. "If you want an example.. Mine is larger than this castle. Survival is key."

"You probably weren't old enough to know this amoung demons we are weak and easy to prey on when other demons are invloved. We were seen as slaves who watched over slaves. It was the falcon clan's job to watch over the humans but didn't have any better privlages than them. It was when that man took throne he gave us our freedom first. We fought for it of course and were allowed freedom after quite a bit of bloodshed. Of course human slaves suffered the same pains we did so when humans were allowed to be free we made a pact with them when they started to out rule demons. Our fear to this day is the humans will remember the history of the slavery and try to inslave us. Since demons aren't as plentiful in this day and age. " Tempest explained. "That is our history hidden amoung history. We of the harpie clan are the only demons who truly ally themselves with humans since we suffered simular means. Of course now we have mastered magic of wind and sky which the elders didn't know back then. We learned it from human magicians. Priests and proestesses they are better known as."
"Geeze I didn't know all that.... Slaves to watch over slaves" Zypher said crossing his arms. "I guess it took a man who was both demon and human to respect the weaker demons and humans at all. Back then was really a dog eat dog world."
"As you wish my lady." Allen said with a slight bow. He took Dialh's hand and walked out through the doors. "There is something around the forest I would like you to see. It isn't very far but at night it is an amazing sight."

Katherine had walked up upon hearing him. "but thats not true." She spoke looking to Jack. "My family didn't kill to run the kingdom." She spoke looking to him. Then to the others. "I am sorry, the rest of that maybe true but Your first words weren't." She looked to Zypher and Tempest. "is that what we are sitting around discussing?"
((edited again)) Dialh gave a big smile and noded abit. "That sounds wonderful to me." As they walked so spoke her voice was slightly softer. "You might not want to tell me but what was upsetting you?"
Micon looked to Tempest and noded. "Makes more since." Then he looked to Katherine hearing her words. A smile played his lips as he looked back to Jack his smile was winning he was winning. "What stops you from getting what you want now then?"

Intruded upon by Katherine's innocent misunderstandings, he would simply give a light bow in reply. "Yes, it is as you wish, My Lady." Omnivorous creatures, humanoids are, whether they are mortal or ever-living. Consuming absolutely everything in every direction is how they survive. Living in peace is living in peace. But if someone is not toiling under the hot sun, pulling a giant wooden plow with their oxen, then the people within the castle who live comfortably cannot live. Somebody is always trampled. Death is inevitable. (edited)
He would reply to Micon, facing his son. "What stops me? There is nothing to stop me. But there is nothing more I want. Therefore there is nothing to stop. If you think I came back simply to own this or that, you are incorrect." His hand lifts slowly, and he points to Micon. "You will be this kingdom's enemy in the near future. Prepare for when I am knocking on your door."

"The spooky family is. Tempest was actually revealing the history of our clan." Zypher answered. "Alot makes sense of why we run the way we do. Origonally our pact we have with the kingdoms is wwhen kingdoms were more run by demons. But our clan being only able to fly not having the magical skill we do now made us slaves."
"This scroll here would explain everything I just said. It explains what the man in that picture did when he came into rule with his own kingdomat least." Tempest said holding the scroll up to the queen. "But please don't let anyone else see this. and I'll want it back when you're done please." Tempest said with a grin. "Well I came to share what I wanted I'm going to bed 'night everyone or anyone who cares!" Tempest said walking off.
Allen blushed a bit and scrathed the side of his cheek with his free hand. "It's something that other knights might frown on me for doing. I don't mind sharing it with you though. After every fierce battle like that I cry for my comerades who have died or suffered great losses. Also my tears go out to menemies as well. In battles and wars both sides are doing what they think is right for them to live. Though the enemy today did some horrible things they are humans and for thier hearts to be twisted to that point means the suffered a great amount in thier past. I shed tears to show thm someone cares if I didn't I don't know if there is someone who would." Allen said. They were getting close to thier destination already fallowing a path in the forest right outside the castle.
((Typing for three people was getting tuff on me crying ))

Dialh smiled hearing him talk like that. "You sounded a lot like her majesty just then." She gave a slight smile. "I don't have the heart to cry for them. I must be ill minded for I am glad they .. that they are dead." She spoke simipley with a slight shrugg. "I can't help that."
Micon looked back to Jack. "I have watched my family for centries after my brother betrayed me you only came back when.." He shook his head rembmering Katherine was in the room. He stood and walked away from them. He was letting him get to him which wasn't his goal.
Katherine smiled to Tempest and took her hand before she headed off. She embraced her then. "Thank you for today Tempest I owe you a lot." She let go of her then. She owed her much and she would make it up to her.

"I am glad I am your crutch, you feel that it is all my fault, and so you latch your hatred upon me. I find it amusing. Watching human nature is something I am finding interesting." He would watch the people about him a moment before continuing. "Perhaps I could not come back to save your mother, and save you, and save everything like you wished. Perhaps I was no longer available. I was, after all, dead. I could, of course, end your life now." His smallest of smiles forming. "Perhaps you would meet your mother. Perhaps you will stop your depression. When those such as you remain the same for countless years, they become the feelings they feel, that of what they mourn."

Micon had turned he flashed a smile then. "No I think you are a bit more confused than me." Then he was gone.
Katherine had herd the end of that and looked to Jack. "Should I be worried about him?" She spoke truthfully slightly worried that maybe he was right maybe he was a enemy. Micon's eyes and usually anyone that carried resbelence to her was her enemy.

Tempest was surprised at first when she was taken up into a hug. Tempest wasn't sure why but it felt good to get a hug from all that happened today. Tempest never saw herself that useful when she compared herself to Paradox or Jack. Yet this was needed for Tempest. She hugged the queen back for a moment and then backed up a bit. "Ya know queeny I think that hug made today feel a whole lot better." Tempest said with a huge grin.
"Ya did good sis." Zypher said watching his sister smile big to him and practically skip to where her room was located. "What no hug for me?" Zypher said sarcastically. He really wasn't expecting one and actually didn't want one at all. "She needed that more than anything in the world. Thankyou." Zypher said looking after Tempest as she turned the corner.
"My father teased me all the time about my big heart. The day I became a knight he laughed saying if I could use my heart as my knightly weapon I would be the strongest in all the kingdoms. I don't get angry for people feeling the way you do. I actually understand that everyone is different and I don't wish to change it." As Allen said that they reached a field that alot of people in the castle knew about.
But not many knew of what happened at night in the field. White moon lillies were at full bloom painting the green field with waves of white. Small fireflies flew across the field lighting it up along with the moon light. The moon beams were refleted off the white flowers making the field look like it was glowing like the moon itself. Allen looked out at the field and the towards Dialh. The light reflected off her green eyes and made her hair glow all the more than it already had. She was stunning in this light..... When Allen saw himself staring he turned away back to the field quickly blushing.

"Clinging to this world. His appearance is due to me. Therefore, I will kill him. He does not belong here, as neither do I. He is not yet your enemy, but he will be." He would rub his jaw lightly before continuing. "Maybe he is why I came back. Maybe he needs to die."

Dialh's gaze went to the field at the dazzleing sight a smile touched her lips she hadn't known about this at all. She walked forward alittle ahead of him and then looked up to the sky looking at the stars then back to the fireflys that seemed like glittering stars themselves. When she looked back to him she had a huge smile on her lips. She walked back forward and embraced him without thinking about it which was odd for even her. When she relized her error she quickly drew back from him. "i am sorry that was..its just so.."
Katherine looked back to Zypher then with a smile on her lips. "I believe she will enjoy herself more with the day I have planned for us tomarrow." ((edited)) Hearing Jack's answear she looked back at him almost shocked at his words. "but.. " Then understanding hit her. "He is your enemy.. thats why."

Zypher looked a bit puzzeled at what the queen could have planned. but knew if it was the queen she would have something thought up. "That man will be troublesome as an enemy. If he does attack I hope you can take him down." Zypher said turning his attention towards Jack.
Allen face was red at the sudden embrace. He laughed a bit though. "This field is stunning. I came across it trying to gather large stones for reconstruction so I discovered this recently. I always came across this field during the day. But the nighttime shows a whole other beauty. One day a picnic dinner outhere while the moon is out like this is something I've wanted to do since I found it a few nights ago." Allen explained. He didn't really show it but he was on cloud nine after that hug.

He would have to think about this. His hands clasping together behind his back, he would now look out the window. That silence would prevail now, as he has nothing more to say. ( g'night! )

Katherine stayed quite pieceing things together. After a while she looked back to Zypher. A thought came to mind then as she looked back to the painting. "I had forgotten to tell you Serig said that he has four more paintings like this and i have commissioned copies of the works though he warns me that one of them is unfit for a woman's eyes." A playful smile on her lips now.
Dialh kept her eyes on the sight then feeling bad about her boldness. "Thank you for showing it to me. I feel honored that you would take me here." She spoke she had a blush herself but she hoped the moonlight hid it well enough she felt so very akward all of a sudden she hadn't been so close to anyone since.. Well best not to think of that she was here now and this was much more dazzleing.
