" Lady Glynda?" A maiden called as she entered her room.

" Yes? " The Queen looked back at the maiden, her eyes with the look of uncertainty.

" She has arrived."

"Oh yes, thank you. I'll be therein a minute." Glynda said as she turned back to the window she was gazing at.

How long has it been since Glynda agreed to this arranged marriage  after the officials have convinced her that it would be the good of her kingdom? She was told it were to be a woman whom she would be betrothed with and she didn't really mind at him. Glynda just  hoped the other party was alright with the same-gendered matrimony. The queen believed in her heart that anyone can marry any whom they desired... but the queen would question to her own self. Would she agree to this arranged marriage despite her word of having to marry anyone they desire? She didn't know herself.

There was blood on his greaves, blood on his clothes. He was covered by the results of his most horrific act.

Though he was perfectly unharmed, he was staggering through the warehouse district as if both of his legs were slashed open. All of the pain he felt was on the inside.

It hurt. Everything hurt.

When he swung the open door to the warehouse, he was desperately praying that there'd be nobody there; that everyone would be out putting the finishing touches on the preparations for the Plan's next phase.

But there was someone there; one of the very last people he wanted to be there. Cinder was sitting on a table, looking directly at him.

The court room was a bustle, people filing in as soon as they had heard the news. One of the traitorous members of the White Fang thieves guild had been captured and was to stand a rather nasty trial. Instead of being tried against her own personal crimes, the half-ling girl was to be tried for the organization as a whole. 

Anyone could put two and two together in this sort of situation. Her trial, and surely execution would certainly be no more then a demonstration...and how the humans of this province just loved to see half-lings being beheaded...

The rattle of chains echoed down the hallway from the prison, the sounds of guards struggling soon followed as several men eventually drug the cat girl onto the court floor, forcing her down to the ground a bit rougher then they probably had too. Her eyes went wide as the bag was removed from her head, Blake struggling and fighting against her captors. 

((11 - an alarm starts sounding and the device informs our characters that it will self destruct in 60 seconds))

For a moment, nothing. Then, the button began to glow red, with a shrill alarm started to wail from the device, and a mechanical voice rang out:

"Self-destruct mechanism activated. Sixty seconds to detonation."

Mercury stared down at the device for a solid five seconds, as if trying to register what just happened. Then, survival instincts kicked in - he threw the device as far from him as he could and turned to Cinder.

A couple of days since Krieg managed to enroll in Beacon Academy.  He was satisfied that he was able to get his sister enrolled in too.  He could finally rest easily and not have to resort to .... unpleasant jobs to make a living for his family.
