Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Is was about to ask the same thing to you, Roran.” Xander sighed, “I won’t bother you with anything, I can’t handle. But I was wondering if there is anything you need?” Xander didn’t easily show compassion to most people, but not when it came down to family. And now, he felt his brother could use some help, as he must be experiencing a hell.

Rico had just arranged that the other assassins would be interrogated. Of course they checked if there weren’t any suicide pills in the mouths or any thing else that could end the interrogation like the leader did. Upon leaving the room where one of the assassins was interrogated, he hard screams. Walking down the hall where the torture room was, he noticed it was being used.
“Who’s in here?” Rico asked the guard, who seemed a little pale.
“Princess Vivian, sir, but we have orders to only let Prince Roran enter.”
“Yes, but I wasn’t planning to enter.” Rico looked at the other soldiers, but they didn’t differ from the other one. ‘It must be really bloody inside for these soldiers to look like that.’

“I could watch her. Or I can go to the cells and ask Princess Vivian if they know something.” Xander looked at the door of Queen Amaya’s room, “At least we have the criminals who did this. It’s only unfortunate they keep slipping through our guards. Makes you wondering if they know where to go and avoid the patrols. As if it’s someone…” Shaking his head, he directed his attention to Roran, “Never mind. So, what should I do? Stay here or go to the cells?”

“I understand.” It was expected he would be send to the cells, not that he mind, “And I’ll let you know!” He said, while walking down the stairs.

Rico walked out the cells, after hearing those screams, he think it would be wise not skip lunch.
“Rico, what were you doing in the cells?” Xander asked as he came across Rico.
“Xander? I made sure those other two assassins are being interrogated.”
“Ah, yes, good work.” Xander tapped his shoulder and walked towards the door.
“Uhm, they aren’t being interrogated in the torture room. Princess Vivian has occupied that room.”
“I see, thank you, and take a rest, you look a bit pale.”
Entering the dungeon, he walked down the hall and approached the torture room.
“Halt, I been ordered by Princess Vivian to only allow Prince Roran enter.” A pale soldier stood guard, his spear blocking the way to the door.
“I come on behalf of my brother, but I shall knock.” Xander smiled, but the soldier looked more like he should lay down as well. For a moment Xander thought there was a disease spreading, but hearing the screams in the room, he realized what was going on and smiled.
“Princess Vivian, may I enter? I’m Prince Xander and I come on behalf of my brother Prince Roran.” Knocking on the door, he waited for the screaming to stop to announce himself.

Finally, Amaya fell into a deep sleep. She was too tired to argue with Blaze, though her dreams were not pleasant. She was having a hard time breaking the fever, and it would be bad if she didn't break it soon.

Amaya was worried. Worried about her sisters, and worried about her Kingdom. She was really worn down from her trip home, and she still hadn't grieved over her father. Physically, she was injured, but mentally, she was destroyed. She needed a lot of rest now, and she was getting sick from all the stress.

Vivian narrowed her eyes as she heard the knock, roaring in frustration. There was the sound of metal clattering as if thrown, the door opening to reveal a bloody princess. The woman was near dead. Retrieving her knives, she continued as if she hadn't opened the door, peeling off the skin on her arm and letting it fall into the bloody pile beneath her. Tilting her head, she was looking at the womans organs now since they were exposed, then at the womans face. She grinned darkly and began to make cuts, causing the woman to drown in her own blood.

"HAH! That is what you deserve!" She shouted at the dead body, not seeming to care that it was practically just pulp. Turning then to Xander, she brushed some guts from her arm. "What is it?" She asked rather sharply, violet eyes seeming to calm from that happy blood frenzy. Who knows why, but she had always loved the sight of blood spurting from the veins of someone. This love had scared her parents, mostly due to the fact of marriage and whatnot. But I know Christoph loves me anyways, thats another reason why I love him so..He doesn't care about something like that, having him here again helps me with it anyways.

Leavibng the room again, he wanted to see the prisoners. Looking at the wo guards at the door, he gave them orders to stay in the room with Amaya. "If anything, I mean ANYTHING happens to her, you're both dead. I don't care about Syra's laws, I'll kill you both," he hissed in their ears before he softly closed the door behind them.

Walking through the halls, he met up with Xander at the door of the cells, staring in at the bloody Princess. His eyes widened, the stench almost sickening. Placing a hand on Xander's shoulder, he whispered into his ear, "I can take care of things here. Sorry for sending you here just to send you back, but do you think you could watch Amaya for me? I want a piece of these guys now. Unless of course you'd rather do your own things. I have two trustworthy guards in her room, so if you want to do something else, go ahead. I'll do what I need to down here."

Getting passed his brother, he closed the door, so it was Vivian, the guys they were holding captive, and Roran himself. They were alone now. "Vivian, I know how much you care for your sister, and I'm all for killing them like as you are, but shouldn't we get info out of them first? Get info, then beat them to a pulp, literally?" He pointed to the pile, or pulp, if you will, on the floor infront of her.

Roran hadn't known she had questioned them too, and did as he was told. Finding poison on it, he smirked. "Hy, use his blade. Give him a taste of how poison feels." Gripping him by his collar, he spit on his face. "I would know, I was poisoned. Was that, by any chance, your doing?" Letting him go, he'd enjoy watching Vivan kill this man. HE had hurt Amaya after all, put her in the state she was in.

Sitting in a chair away from the two, he spoke one more time before handing the reigns to Vivan for the meantime. "One quick question. Did you purposly give Amaya the fever virus? Because I don't think it's much of a coincidence that Amaya gets a fever right after you guys attack her."
