She would have to test something and she knew Darius might hate it but it was to make sure she was understanding everything correctly.<br/><br/>All four had seen Songbirds truth within the divining pool in the desert. Naturally it meant she was his sister. But yet she never spoke of how she was once empress. Darius was very conflicted about all of this. To be honest the ache in his heart over it was something new to him. It had started when she had rejected his rings. Despite everything. She had surrendered that in both the pool and underneath the wagon. They had reaffirmed their intimacy many times and now he was bring advised to possibly let her go or take her to a place that could undo the spell on her.<br/><br/>Darius shook his head over what was being said by Diabelle and Keki. The thought of what she was suggesting was something he could not do. At least he thought he could not do it. But hasn't he already been doing that with making his sister a slave? No because he still recalled her words when he first met her and those bonds were much more stronger. That she chose a life of service to him.<strong>"You said it yourself. She doesn't want the throne. She wants me and this magic stops her from even accepting me. The closer I get to Padre the more she tries to push me away I think."</strong>He took a moment to take that in as he was utterly of two minds. Keki had a point but what was the point of it. What's the point of the throne without his Songbird?<br/><br/>He took a long moment to consider it<strong>"I want to break the spell on her. But I want to do it in a way that won't possibly hurt her or worse."</strong>he was not sure if he could trust what the Jalmeray wizards might do with Songbird. They'd take her from him if he recalls correctly. Is there truly no other way?<br/><br/>Diabelle reads her husband's mind as he was like an open book at this point.<strong>"Darling. We know we have to relocate from these lands. We can start from there and perhaps find your allies there. An opportunity may present itself then."</strong>Perhaps the haste in this action might be too much right now. They did have to leave her estate and find a new home. Thus they'd need to take their group of soldiers and horses and themselves elsewhere. More than likely back to Padhe.<strong>"I'll focus on learning magic for our use in finding a suitable location for our home but we will need wagons and supplies for the men."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/a9cb6fe5-1097-45a3-9a43-c2b954e1df9e/ddgzqp0-22e5dd3e-cf0d-4c7e-90a2-4fcec1e0f342.jpg/v1/fill/w_900,h_888,q_70,strp/dwarf_portrait___legendary_games_by_bipicado_ddgzqp0-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTI2MyIsInBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2E5Y2I2ZmU1LTEwOTctNDVhMy05YTQzLWMyYjk1NGUxZGY5ZVwvZGRnenFwMC0yMmU1ZGQzZS1jZjBkLTRjN2UtOTBhMi00ZmNlYzFlMGYzNDIuanBnIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTEyODAifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6aW1hZ2Uub3BlcmF0aW9ucyJdfQ.FqJ3-rjVfFEnDmuhmdqu817smoN7uy0qoZZyEhhLKkk)</div>The Dwarf was currently engaging in a staring contest with the group of Kelesh Soldiers. He was not taking his eyes off them and neither were his soldiers since they weren't here for a vacation. They.mean to throw them out and there wasn't any telling if they were going to make an excuse to speed that process up.
