((Right, right, sorry, was a little occupied sweatdrop ))
Slowly awakening, Xander's head felt like a carriage had hit him. Also, thanks to Vivian, he now remembered everything. Everything before and after he lost his memory. Thought, thinking really hurt like hell, so he decided not to think for a while. When he wanted to sit up, so he could look around, his chest felt like they were being pierced by two spears. He quickly remembered that he had recieved those from the assassination attempt.
What's the last thing I remember? Even if it hurt like hell, Xander recalled his last moments before he passed out. He saw Amaya and Vivian. Both where taken away his pain. They lifted it, someone healed him. Though not completely, but just enough to make sure he would survive. But Vivian was the one that made him remember.
Those two have strange powers... I hope they are alright... Looking around he noticed he was in Syra and in his room. Alone.
"Hm... Better show my face around and let them know I survived... At this last thought, he froze. Why should he had survived? It was his plan to begin with. And for what? The least he deserved was to be shot.
Stupid fool... All that for... a woman... "I should have died!" Xander shouted, but when he said woman, he didn't mean Erika, but somehow he was thinking of Erika. He remembered her face as he was laying on the ground, shot.

Still sitting in the chair, he had quite a few questions for Xander. First, was how he knew about the assassination attempt. How did he find out when it was, or where the assassins were hiding. Second was why he had jumped in the way in the first place. Roran knew that deep down Xander had still wanted to fight, or at least he did before he lost his memory. He had been so similar to their father. If he hadn't jumped in the way, sure he'd have lost his brother, but he'd be king, and could declare war on the Kerosians again. Why had he jumped in the way? How did he know? And why di he try to parry the arrows? there must've been another way to stop them if he knew. Why hadn't he told any guards before hand if he knew? He wouldn't have been hurt then. All this thinking was hurting Roran's head, so he stopped.

While Rico was being send to the cells of Keros, the soldiers of Xander were ordered to stop any plans and first approach Xander. Rico always saw Xander as their leader. Now that he was in a cell, he decided to use the time to think. Think why Xander had stopped their plan. He remembered Xander saying he wanted to end the plans, but Rico could believe he was that serious. Especially since the plan was still to be executed. The moment he recovers or when I'm out of here, I'll need to talk to him.
Getting up wasn't easy, it felt like an elephant was dancing on his chest. He managed to sit up in his bed, but getting out wasn't a good idea he realised.
"Anyone there?" He asked, hoping someone to hear him. He really wanted to know how everything turned out. With Erika, Amaya, Vivian, Rico...

Hearing his brother he flew to his feet, and blasted through the door. It was so fast he had to stop a moment once inside to figure out where he was. "Xander, you're okay! Thank God. Can I get you anything, or rather, do you need anything?"

Erika smiled, faintly hearing Xander's voice. She was glad he remembered the picnic, but much more concerned he was alive. Erika watched as they took him to the castle in Syra.
Finding Snowball, and riding to Syra, she ran to Xander's room just in time to see him awake. Roran was in front of Erika, asking Xander a question. Xander...

"Yes, are Amaya and Vivian alright?" He asked after a brief moment of silence. He was surprised to see Roran so concerned. Then again, he did understood why. "I thank my life the both. They somehow... healed me or something. I hope they didn't used to much energy." Then he saw Erika standing behind Roran. Smiling to her, he hated that she had to see him like this. Helpless, wounded, it made him look weaker than he is.Yet he was glad she was here.

"Amaya and Vivian are fine. They are just, exhausted." Seeing his smile as his gaze fell on someone behind him, he looked over his shoulder. Seeing Erika, he smiled. "If you need anything, just send someone for me. I'll be around." Walking to the door, he pulled on the handle but stopped. "Xander, I will need to talk to you when you do feel better. I want you to rest though. When you feel alright, we will need to talk. And talk we shall." Without getting a reply or anything, he walked out, closing the door behind him.

"Very well..." Xander replied, thought the door was shut. It made him wonder if Roran had figured something out. But he would ind out soon.
"Erika, how are you? Are you alright?"

Erika smiled, and walked towards him. I'm fine, She said as she took his hand. I'm just glad you're okay. Erika smiled, and hugged him, one tear sliding down her cheek.

(( Where is Frozen-san? >_> )) Vivian woke up, not knowing how long it had been since the wedding, seeing it was morning or maybe almost afternoon. Pushing herself up, she found she was still in her wedding clothes, sighing as she went to her closet to change into a simple white and green outfit. Walking out onto her balcony, she whistled, Gesser flying down to her. "hey there, you doing well?" The hawk seemed to nod in approval, nuzzling her cheek in affection. Smiling, she kissed his beak carefully, letting him go hunt for food. "Where is Hector? He seemed in shock at the wedding when it happened...I want to tell him that I think it worked...Xander should remember everything-" "He does." Looking up, she saw that his mother was there, smiling down to her. Ignoring the shivers she felt from a simple touch to her shoulder, she smiled as she felt the gratitude in his mothers eyes, touching a hand to the spirits before she faded again. Walking back inside, she knew her people were used to her wearing boys clothes and didn't say anything about it, much to her relief. She didn't feel like changing. She went to the grounds, watching people talking, probably about the wedding and what had happened. Heading over to a tree, she laid down underneath it, staring up at the sky from where she was.

Placing his arms around her, he was gratefull she was alright. Even if he knew she wasn't in any danger, he was just glad.
"I'm sorry that you had to see me getting shot like that. But don't worry. Nothing will get between us." Xander smiled, believing his own words, but not forgetting that he would had to deal with some bussiness. His plans, Rico, his soldiers. He had to talk with them and convince them. However, this shouldn't be hard. They have sworn loyalty to Syra and him.
"Everything will be alright." He sight in relief.

She smiled, and looked up at him. I just wanted to ask, but. . .you seemed to know it was going to happen. Erika stated, frowning a bit. She didn't want to think he was a traitor, but is was all too wierd.

Xander's eyes widened for a moment. It was true, he did jump to take the arrows. On the right moment and had his sword drawn. He could explain he saw them up the hill and found it odd. Also, he could say he explored the area the day before the wedding and saw shady figures walking around. The reason why he drew his would be to deflect the bolts. The real reason was, if he didn't, the bolts had gone right through him and hit their target. He knew they would go through his sword, but it would made sure they wouldn't go through him.
"The evening before the marriage, I went to check out where the marriage would be held. Opun my arrival, I saw some shady figures walking around. When I wanted to spy on them they left. So, I left ealry the next morning, hoping I could comfirm my fears. And as I feared they would assassinate the King and Queen, my brother and your sister." Xander paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. It wasn't easy for him to lie to her. He would like to tell her the truth, but he's just afraid of her reaction. Aftera short pause he continued, "I saw some men moving towards that hill. I would follow them, but then the marriage started. I had to stand next to Roran to hand over the ring. I didn't tell any guard, because I didn't had any evidence of an assassination attempt or anything. I wouldn't want to ruin the wedding for a possible false alarm. I wish I did however. That's why I kept an eye on the hill. When I saw them loading crossbows, I realsied they were assassins. Even if I would alerted the guards, it would be to late. The next thing I saw, where the bolt being fired. I tried to deflect them, but they went right through my sword." Xander couldn't look into Erika's eyes. The moment he had recovered he would straighten things with his men. There will be no war with Keros. No matter what. Then, he realised Rico must have been imprisoned. Rico wouldn't betray Xander, of that he was sure, but he couldn't allow them to execute Rico.
"Tell me, did they caught the assassins and imprisoned them?" Xander asked and looked at Erika.

Erika pulled away from the hug and looked up at him. She nodded. Of course. But, I think Rico was the only one left. . . She said, thinking back.
