Lyra could not move an inch from her spot in front of the darkness.  The red mark on her neck still burned in her mind of a reminder of the dangers inside that were hiding in the blackness.  The young handmaiden also knew of her place as she could not stop the Princess from going forwards any longer.  She had spoken her mind, but it was obvious not enough to change the royal's mind.  Keeping her bright eyes, she slowly watched as the Princess fade into the blackness.<br/><br/>"Be Safe...My Friend..."<br/><br/>Lyra spoke quietly and more to herself as she stood in the empty gardens.  In a blink of time, it appeared as if she had been the only one out here.  In a few brief moments, Lyra was all alone.  Turning around, Lyra pulled the shroud close to her as she went back towards the Suite alone.  The night was growing thick and she was much too tired from today's actions.  Lyra needed to rest and keep her mind off of what was happening to Dawn.
