Aros removed his shirt and wrapped it around his face only keeping his eyes uncovered so he could follow the slash marks in the trunks of trees he had made as a form of location. On his forehead the seal of the deal he made with the demon glittered slightly and continued to sting. His lips let out a sigh as he soon saw the town coming into view. â€œNow.. to just get home..â€ he started skirting around buildings sticking to the shadows. No one would recognize him, since no one knew him in the first place. He was an invisible soul in the ocean of people which now would prove beneficial. No one would be looking for him since he hadnâ€™t come home the night before. His house was small, very small and settles behind the bakery out of the way of all the other houses. It was one room and a small shed outback where he worked with steel. He tried to smile but learned how hard it was when your lips were made out of bone.<br/><br/>â€œI should clean up before I go to the castle..â€ he said walking to the mirror he had placed beside the backdoor that lead to an area outside for bathing. (a pond he had turned into a rather nice tub) He stepped out and shed his clothing on the ground his hands again rubbing the new appearance he had â€œIâ€¦ will have to learn to eat again..â€™ he chuckled trying to make light of the situation.<br/><br/>His bath was speedy and thorough as he got out he walked to a large bush and picked several roses, once he had them he walked back to his house and sat in a chair just inside the door. There he broke the roses apart and began to rub the pedals and pollen over his flesh giving himself a sweet and clean scent, he did his best to smile. His eyes darted to a loaf of breath he had half eaten already. Standing he cut a slice and lifted it to his mouth opening the large fangs that were shaped like slightly curved daggers, a piece of the bread was in his mouth but he learned soon he could not chew or at least he couldnâ€™t without making a mess. â€œNo wonder animals simply stick their snouts into their meals..â€ he again sighed and tried to make do with best he could using both hands to eat and try to cover his mouth. He bit a finger by mistake and gasped at the fact his fang went straight through the tip.. â€œDamn it!â€ he screamed holding it and walking around before he shook it. â€œI will now always hate eating thanksâ€¦â€ he touched the symbol on his forehead lightly before walking to his bed ripping the ratty old sheet using it as a bandage.<br/><br/>Under the bed he found his dadâ€™s old armor and took it out back. In the shed he found materials to make paint and enough berries to dye it red. He cut the helmet to hide his face and soon was pleased with his work. He carefully dressed into the newly dried armor and made sure to have the vile of medication tied around his neck. â€œIâ€™m coming princessâ€¦ I may not be prince charming but Im going to save youâ€¦â€ so he turned and said far-well to his cottage in hopes of never having to return.<br/><br/>Edmund BellasMorn sat in his throne rubbing his temples fear beating in his heart as he thought about his daughterâ€™s condition, â€œMy Queen, what will we do. No one we have asked can find the cure and I feel we are running out of timeâ€¦â€ he held his elder laced face in the palm of his hands a blue eye glanced to his wife as he tried to think. â€œShe should have been wed and with child by this age and now I fear she may never have that chanceâ€¦ â€œ he wondered if he had done something to makes the Gods angry enough to cause his precious child to suffer so much.<br/><br/>Aros stood before the main gates looking around. He saw what he knew from years of watching the castle would be the general, he called out in desperate need to be let in â€œMy Lord, General! I have a cure for the princess please ask the King and Queen if I may enter!â€ he held up the small vile around his neck.
