Althalos wasn't convinced. "It is not like them to drop a robe. Please, do you not have anything?" he pressed. "If you have anything about them, I will help you return home. I know nothing about this 'Red Cloud Street,' but I assure you I might find it. I just need the whereabouts of the criminals." Just a little more. She must have known something.

He was pressing for what she knew but she wasn't about to rat out a couple of people who helped her. "I'm sorry sir but I haven't seen anyone like that. I've been wandering the woods by myself for the past few minutes." she said with a quick shrug of her shoulders. "When does your shift end though, I'm getting kinda tired of the formal talk." she said softly, approaching the horse and giving the gentle giant a king stroke against his head.

Althalos decided to leave the matter for now. "I know not what you speak, but we must be on our way. I must rejoin the hunting party and I cannot leave a maiden here. At least let me take you to my palace," he said as he stretched out a hand to Lynora. Perhaps she will speak when he gains her trust. She seemed intelligent enough, so he might have the conversation he wished for.

Once again she had to make an on-the-spot decision about who she should trust but surely a Prince was trustworthy, if she couldn't trust someone who ran everything then there was nobody she could trust. "A-alright."she said softly, taking his hand and fumbling up onto the horse a little but once she was behind him everything seemed to go a little smoothly. "Where do you live?" she asked curiously.

Althalos could hear the party calling for him. "You will see soon," he said before he nudged his steed into a gallop. It was slow and steady, to ensure the girl wouldn't fall, and they headed to the castle. The others would join soon enough. For now, it was time to head home.

Lynora tried to calm herself, the answer the man gave wasn't entirely settling. As soon as the horse started to move she tightened her grip around the Prince's waist, afraid she was going to be kicked off if she didn't hold on tightly. After some time passed by she saw the view of the castle and the entire kingdom that surrounded it. The view was breathtaking and terrifying all at the same time. Seeing the land this way just proved to her that she wasn't anywhere near her home town and now she wasn't sure if she would ever be able to find her way back. It was too much to take in, everything was happening too fast and she felt like her whole world was spinning. Wait that wasn't the world spinning, that was her head. Soon Lynora had blacked out and fallen off the horse, hitting her shoulder on the ground hard.

Althalos had to stop his horse after Lynora fell. Briefly dismounting, he scooped her up into his arms before mounting the horse again and heading the rest of the way to the castle. There was once more a suspicion that she had encountered the criminals. Perhaps they had poisoned her a short time ago. He could only hope that it wasn't the case. Upon arrival, he brought her to a vacant room and set her on a bed to rest, commanding a servant to tend to her every need before leaving the room.

Lynora woke up a few hours later when she felt the pillows underneath her moving. Opening her eyes, Lynora stared at the servant that was helping her for a brief moment before screaming and scrambling out of bed, grabbing one of the candelabra's as a weapon to defend herself. "W-who are you!? Where have you taken me!?" she demanded, trembling a little as she tried to figure out what happened.

Sreda was rather confused with the guest's fear, but decided to answer her question anyway. Grabbing a paper, she began to write: "My name is Sreda. I am to take care of you while you're here." She turned the paper around for the girl to see. "You are in the palace as Prince Althalos' guest. No one will harm you here."

Lynora read the paper and kept turning her attention from the paper to the strange girl. "Whats the matter with you, you can't talk or something?" she asked curiously, though she put the candelabra down since she wasn't feeling very threatened anymore. She was more startled to see someone right by her head and fluffing her pillows while she was laying on them. After she received her answer, Lynora stood up and dusted her dress a little as she studied the servant a little carefully. "Why does everyone here have such odd names?" she muttered as she headed out of the bedroom and into the hallway to find her way out of this place.

Sreda followed the guest out of the room. She held out some fresh garments for her, as if urging her to get dressed. The clothes the girl wore couldn't be very comfortable. Aside from that, they could not possibly be proper, especially in the castle. The guest was revealing far too much. It sort of bothered Sreda that the prince had brought the girl here.

Lynora saw the girl was trying to get her to put on different clothing but she could care less about that right now. "I don't need to change! I need to get home! It's already been hours and my parents are going to be so worried!" she said as she scrambled through the halls to try and find the front door, though as soon as she found the front door the guards had raised their weapons to prevent her from leaving. "Oh come on!! Let me through, I need to get home!!" she yelled at the guards but she wouldn't dare fight her way through people who had weapons that could kill her.

Sreda tugged on the guest's arm, hoping to lead her back to the room to wait for the prince. After a while, she settled on just putting the proper garments there. If only she would be reasonable and change! She could understand that the girl was frightened and anxious in an unfamiliar place, but the least she could do was clear her head and try to make sense of the situation. Well, how was she going to do that?

Lynora felt the servant tugging on her arm and whipped around to smack her hand off of her purely out of instinct. "Let go of me! I can't stay here!!" she yelled more, turning around and banging against the metal armor the guards wore. "Please let me out!!" She yelled in a panic but the guards wouldn't have such petty violence in the palace and grabbed her hands to keep from hitting them, forcing her to her knees in hopes of calming her down but she just cried.

Althalos had been wandering the halls when he heard crying from the direction of the front door. Upon investigation, he found the guards holding Lynora. "What is going on here?" he demanded. "Release her! She's a guest here and should be treated as one!" He wasn't sure why he had given that command. Usually, he would have let the guards handle this, but the sight of Lynora crying bothered him somehow.
