Akara looked at her king who even now wasn't right. A ball of light hovered in front of him and his face lacked the fierceness she'd always seen there. "Arex." she said quietly walking past Angela to sit before the king her blue eyes large in the darkness. "Arex open your eyes and look at me." She said her voice soft though it held an edge of command. She'd wait till his gaze met her before she'd continue. "Please don't do this. Please. They need you, I need you." She blinked and looked away before her emotions could overwhelm her. tears weren't going to convince her king to reconsider.<br/><br/>"I know you think fighting that dragon will somehow help but it can't be the answer." She said a note of desperation in her voice, "We've only just arrived, you've only just learned who you are. Your rushing things my liege, when we can't afford to make mistakes." She bite her lip and hung her head, "I don't want to be queen Arex I want you to come back but even if that's not possible then I want to know your here alive here." she said unable to tell him that she needed him.<br/><br/>He was her guiding star. She had always followed him, she knew there'd come a day when he'd be gone but she wasn't ready for that day to happen in a few hours. "In all the years I've followed you I've asked you for nothing, I did what you asked of me because you were my king, I loved you but now I'm asking you, no begging you not to do this. Please Arex don't fight him, don't throw away your life." She asked emotion thick in her voice. She'd lost the battle to be objective, the emotional turmoil of the day and the effects of the drink had made her far to exposed. She spoke honestly and without the normal distance she would use to keep herself unaffected.
