Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beck looked at the man who was scared before looking at Tray and blinked before taking a deep breath. As he exhaled, a small stream of fire escaped his lips. "Sorry...it's just that they attacked in a populated area and could have injured bystanders." He said before looking at the man. "Go to the medics. They should be able to cure that." he said before walking towards his fallen horse.

He pet the heavy breathing but beautiful beast as he gently stroked it's mane. "It's going to be okay." He gently hovered his hand over the burn wound and began healing it. After a few seconds the horse got up and was practically new. Beck reached inside and grabbed a rope, bringing the other man with him as he tied the rope around his already restrained wrists and said to Tray. "Let's get to the castle."

Beck looked at his companion and sighed. "Yeah....just kind of finding it a bit difficult to accept my father as...dead." the last word caused his throat to choke up. A feeling he didn't like befire he placed his head down and just looked at the white of his horse, running his fingers through the main as they entered the castle grounds.

Workers around them hustled and bustled to fix the damage done from the battle. It was almost done due to how fast and organized they were.

"...You're right...I need to focus on the people." said the King as he stopped at the stair cases and got off the horse, beginning to walk up the stairs as thoughts of laws and rules began to flash through his head.

"My plans...rebuild my country from the horrors Viktor caused and give the people some power." with that he looked at the girl with a smile and said "I shall make a new kingdom...where the people shall be heard and acknowledged. Where they are treated better. I have lived through poor conditions and experienced starvation before meeting you."

He stopped and fully turned to face her, the sun beaming behind Beck as he spoke. "Those experiences made me think of making a better system for the people. Less taxes, more work. I want to create a different kingdom that beholds it's inhabitants as the best. Where they can work to there hearts content and get ahead of their neighbors because of it."

"I would like your help in this effort. Please...be by my side. I have discovered something of great interest to show you. Hopefully it will cause the economy to thrive." He then quickly grabbed Tray's hand and began to run up the flight of stairs.

Beck through open the door of the castle as they ran inside and into the left corridor that lead up to his room. He looked back at her with a smile and said "To my room. I have something I want to show you." with that he turned around a corner and burst into a room that had a large bed against the wall. On the wall was an old, worn, and cracked wooden sword while beside the bed lay the actual sword he used to slay Viktor.

The king then let go of Trays hand and walked over to the shelves he had. Opening up a drawer, he pulled out a small knife and put in the bottom before pushing up and removing a false bottom. He then pulled out a little chest that opened easily with a wave of his hand-a locking spell he had created over the years- and pulled out the crystal.

Beck shut the door behind Tray with a wave of his hand and walked over to her with a smile. He held up the green crystal and said "This helps increase magical power...I don't know the limits it's capable of but if one concentrates on putting energy into it and then taking it back...it's as though the energy comes back twicefold. Perhaps different colors means different effects but needless to say their amazing enhancers."

A gleam in his eyes sparkled as he said "If we can start mining these and teach people how to use them for magic then it's going to be a wonderful advancement for humankind."

Beck looked at her hands as she had gently grasped his before hearing her words. Listening to her and nodding. "You're right...I was getting ahead of myself." He cleared his throat and looked at her with a small smile. "Okay...we can still mine these and distribute them to people who do magic for medicinal purposes. This is how I recovered so quickly during the war." He said and placed it on the counter top that was nearby before he held both of her hands in his.

"Thanks for that. I know that some people who gain the strength to kill others through a quest often don't acquire knowledge that says to use it wisely. You're correct...in the wrong hands magic is deadly..." with that he slowly lowered his gaze to his hand that was used on the criminal, causing him to frown.

"I thought I had controlled my anger over the years...", he gave a small sigh. " Guess not." the King slowly raised his eyes to Tray as he said "I now feel the sudden guilt of my actions." He turned and walked away for a few steps. His eyes now out at the window as the town was in his view. "Sure...he was an evil magic user...but he was still someone under my rule."

The man turned to his partner and nodded. "That's right...the change was a bit sudden. I mean the war only lasted for a few weeks before we won." he said before looking out at the land that he controlled.

His stomach then growled. With a light chuckle and holding it with his hand, Beck said "It's been a while since we've eaten...why don't we go ahead and grab something to eat." with that he took her hand and laced his fingers with hers before walking out of the room with her, this time at a regular, walking pace.
