Azurine would tilt her head at the Bakeneko with a small smile on her face. She pushed into his mind gently just to pluck out a name. She walked over to him and sat down on the bed next to him. She brushed her fingers across his cheek before returning them in her lap. "Milo is it?" she asked as her eyes wandered over his slender frame. "It's good to meet you sir" she smiled.<br/><br/>There were screeches coming from the hallway. Azurine turned and rose to a stand. She started to walk towards the door when the heavy double doors flew open and two large crows flew into the room. They quickly morphed into rather large dark men with glowing red eyes. They growled and hissed at her as they charged her, slamming her body up against the wall and pinning her there so her feet were dangling off the ground. Their foul hot breath fell across her shoulders as each licked her neck and cheek, tasting her fear and savoring it.<br/><br/>A snap of fingers and Maddox emerged. "Ankai, Sunkai! Behave!" he ordered as he stepped into the bedroom. "Well well, Azurine my child. What are you doing with Anthony Mor-Hauser hmm?" he asked as he stepped towards her. His head would then turn to the Bakeneko that was seated on the bed and arched his brow at him. "And what is this? How are you here?" he asked as he stepped towards the cat creature clearly irritated by its presence.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Mirielle paced in Oscar's office as she wrung her hands together, bunching up her lovely gown. "There is no need for alarm my Queen" Oscar tried to calm her down as he stepped away from his desk and grasped her hands, pulling them apart and resting them in his palms gently.<br/><br/>"Are you so sure? Someone spotted Fae in court. Fae! What are they doing here?!" she cried out.  Fae had always made the Queen nervous as they had the power she did not understand nor could harness. Fae made Maddox leary as well and the tales he had spun in her head made her all the more apprehensive about their kind to the point of banishing them from court altogether, rounding them up like fugitives and locking them away in camps along the outskirts of the kingdom.<br/><br/>"I wouldn't worry so much my Queen" he pleaded as he looked into her baby blue eyes. He brushed her cheek with his hand and she nuzzled into it for but a moment. She closed her eyes and smiled. He stepped forward and leaned in to kiss her, brushing his lips against hers. She parted her lips for a moment and then opened her eyes. She immediately slapped Oscar across the face.<br/><br/>"How dare you! I am not yours! Maddox and I...." she barked, but he had knelt before her and interrupted, bowing his head to the ground.<br/><br/>"Forgive me my Queen" he stuttered, his hands shaking as they raised up towards her. She slapped his hands away and stormed out of his office.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Neema showed herself in the gardens where Anthony rested. A glistening beauty adorned with diamonds and sheer white silk. She placed her hands on his shoulders as he sat there basking in her glow. "Dear Zion, the days ahead grow darker still. As there is a war in Heaven, there shall be wickedness upon the earth. You are as ready as you will ever be my soldier. Stay strong through these flames and bring down those that oppress this once great land."  She kissed his forehead as she tilted his head backward, then his lips, pouring her energy into his being, making him that much stronger physically, mentally, and magically.  It would burn as he burned at the stake. Each memory that would fuel his vengeance surfaced from his incarceration to losing his love, the Queen, to his death and what this once grand kingdom has now become.  "Keep Lunelra hidden Zion for the Fae are not safe in this kingdom, not even a Hero" and with that she faded.
