Hearing the others speak about his attitude as if he wasnâ??t there made Brand raise an eyebrow. He was a bit confused as to why they were so concerned about why he was smiling. Of course they were in hard times, of course they had lost the Queen. Everyone found her lost hard, and while everyone thought that it was the hardest to lose her for themselves, he was sure that was, in a way, true. She had been a figurehead for different things in everyoneâ??s lives. For Lynnira, somewhat of a mother, for Valen, a companion and overall, the Queen that carried light within herself.<br/><br/>The blonde male had to wonder what the woman had been for himself. Her death had sent him into the corner of the palace, wrecking tears and thunder that shook the foundations for a good while, before he was forced to leave the area, or be caught by the King of Darkness. She wasnâ??t his mother, as he had known his own and loved her, nor was she someone he loved romantically. But she was a well companion that he had learned to care for, and as a knight, it was a said duty to be her protector.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff8000"><i>Well, I canâ??t change that nowâ?¦</i></span>he firmly told himself, steadying his mind for what his goals were. Things were not finished, and while he hated the darkness so much, he knew that letting that hate would only turn him towards darkness. The lightning wielder was determined to bring justice, and he would do so with a smile on his face, and thunder in his fist. In fact, he would be happy to send some thunder right down the Vampireâ??s legs and give him some energy, as that guy was seriously lagging. He had to wonder how old Everan truly was, as the Vampire looked young.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">â??Thatâ??s silly~ We all should have hope, for Kali wouldnâ??t have wanted us to grieve before we have saved the world.â?</span>he reminded Valen, smiling gently at their leader. He had paused to wait for the elder knight to catch up, before walking along side the other male. The other blonde had become very reclusive, which was worrying. Darkness had taken over the land, the Eclipse had shadowed the spirits of manyâ?¦ but what worried Brand the most, was the lost of the pillarsâ?? hopes. Of all the Knightsâ?? hopes.
