Welcome to Gaia! ::

Katherine froze in midstep hearing what the girl said as she turned slightly looking to her. "Other deaths?" A worried look came over her eyes as she walked over almost kneeling infront of the girl ti listen to what happend.

Katherine stood running a hand through her hair and takeing a deep breath she had scared her that was for sure. She moved towards a table fixing her a drink. "You had scared me for a moment serenity." She brought the cup to her lips. She needed it or at least felt like she did. Her purple eyes looked back to the girl. "What have you been up to as of late?"

"Well I am free today and although we can't go down to the beach or rideing a walk in the garden will have to do." She spoke with a sweet smile all her own as she motioned for her to follow.

Katherine laughed slightly as she felt the sinshine and the nice sea breeze once they were outside. "I know its boring. I am sorry not much to do around here. Believe me when i was younger i sat through endless meetings with my father wondering if thats how my whole life would go."

Serenity skipped long beside Katherine in a graceful pendulum motion. "Daddy always said that boredom is just the act of waiting. That's why i don't wait for anything!" She said with a little twirl. Her dress fanned out from her body because of the centrifugal force. Then clung to her when she stopped.

Tempest would get a small bag of strange looking herbs, dropped off yesterday. Inside the bag was a collection of different kinds of roots. Tempest had never asked for any of it.

Inside the city, the same amount of dread could be felt. Something was going to happen today. The dread seemed to focus around two people, at the time. One was known at the castle as Shadow. The other was a relative stranger, also known as Deception.

One of the woman saw lady Nean leave the poster and followed questioning it, "what do you do if we don't leave" she said as the others followed thinking the same. "It clearly says death" she said simply, "the queen wont kill us!" a woman from the crowd called out. "who said the queen will?" she smilled as in the blink of an eye she had appeared behind the woman and slit her thraot with her sword and returned infront of the crowd again and walked off before they noticed the dead woman. then screams could be heard around town from teh crowd.

"Hmmm?" Tempest said only that as the bag was left for her by a servant. She noticed all sorts of strange roots were in the bag. She was sure she never asked for anything like this. Zypher was the herbal maker. Though these roots were more medical based than herbal. She though she might as well take it as a gift and use it later when it was needed. She simply went back to reading leaving the bag there for now.

Zypher heard a tapping at the window and a bird flew in. It was the small sparrow he always seemed to have around the castle. It was odd it would be so frantic at this time. The window was opened and the bird began to sing immediatly. Zypher looked confused for a moment and then taking his time understaning the bird's song pattern a worried look came over his face.
"I need to find the queen...." Zypher said simply. As if nothing happened Zypher vanished from that spot without a sound being made.

Allen noticed a patrol man waitng around in the main hall.
"Good day to you sir! How are the rounds going for today?" Allen asked with a smile. He enjoyed talking with soldiers and other people around the castle.
