Oscar:  Maybe he was worrying too much, but Oscar began to have a bad feeling that something had happened. He needed to look into things immediately and act before it was too late. Rising to his feet, he glanced at his magistrates. With a sour look on his face, he said, “I’m sorry, but I have to go to Tuldarr. I’ll finish the inspection another day.”

Magistrates:  “Yes, Your Majesty!” The magistrates responded right away.

Aurelia:  Aurelia leaped up in surprise.

Oscar:  To her, Oscar said, “You’ve got me worried now, so I’m going to have a look. Once I’ve arrived in Tuldarr, I’ll have my dragon track Tinasha down. I’ll contact you when I know something.”

Aurelia:  “I—I’m going, too!” Aurelia insisted.

Oscar:  Now it was Oscar’s turn to look flabbergasted. His eyebrows shot up as he replied, “We don’t know what’s at the root of this. I can’t be responsible for your safety.”

Aurelia:  “I’m a mage. Take me with you, please,” she pleaded.

Oscar:  “But you may become the enemy,” he said.

Aurelia:  “What enemy?” Aurelia was confused; she didn’t quite understand what Oscar meant. Was he implying that the two of them might wind up as foes? Or that she and Tinasha would be? It was difficult to imagine, and Aurelia wasn’t sure how to answer. While she was sorting her thoughts out, the king cut in coolly. “The man you’re searching for is the most suspicious one in all of this. Two times now, he’s almost killed Tinasha simply because he felt like it.”

Aurelia:  “He has?”

Oscar:  “And if he’s trying to do the same thing again, you should know that I will end him. And if you come along, what will you end up doing then?”

Aurelia:  “Travis really did that…?” Aurelia asked with disbelief. Were Oscar’s words true? Had Travis almost killed Tinasha? Her eyes darted here and there frantically. She wasn’t catching glimpses of another’s past, but rather, she was rifling through her own memories. Yes, Travis was bad-natured and enjoyed upsetting others. But over the last six years they had spent together, he had never once caused her physical harm. When he’d admitted to “riling” Tinasha up before, Aurelia never imagined the truth of that statement was so dark. Aurelia knew what Travis really was, though, and she understood that he had a tendency to regard mortals with very little care. Still, that couldn’t be all there was to it. When Aurelia glanced up, Oscar was staring her down with a fierce, commanding gaze. She looked down and away, her face turning sorrowful. “What he did was inexcusable. I know it’s not something that an apology can solve, but do allow me to say I’m very sorry…”

Oscar:  “There’s nothing you need to apologize for,” Oscar pointed out, suppressing a sigh. This was a tricky situation. Aurelia was a member of the Gandonan royal family, so he couldn’t ignore or offend her, but her sudden visit had brought a significant upset.
