The Last Dance

[Lessien]

Mikyn paced the legnth of the throne room long after the rest of the palace had gone to sleep. A servant had told him to get some sleep, and Mikyn had refused.

Earlier that day, one of the mages had told him the news. Byron was dead; Jaiden was a traitor; Crystal was still alive. Hours later, Mikyn paced the floor, growling. How could he have trusted that boy? Yes, having his sister die at the hands of her lover would have been the sweetest revenge, but why hadn't he seen that Jaiden still loved her?

He couldn't have. No one could have. This thought was very reassuring, and Mikyn stopped pacing for a moment. He smiled. Jaiden may be a traitor, but he knew Taiven wasn't.

Taiven was powerful.

Taiven was heartless.

Taiven was a born killer.

And soon, this born killer would kill Crystal, and Mikyn would have the throne...and his revenge.

The sun rose in Raetia, illuminating Crystal's small apartment and waking her. She blinked and looked around, realizing she had fallen asleep in her clothes, on the chair in the parlor.

She did nothing for a moment, wondering what it was underneath the bedsheet in front of her. Fortunately for her nerves, she remembered that she had covered Byron's body with a bedsheet the night before.

His dead body had been there the entire night? Crystal tasted bile, and barely made it outside before she vomited.

After rinsing her mouth and changing into some clothes that weren't wrinkled, she walked the short distance to the home of one of the captains who was still loyal to her. He ordered some of his men to remove the body and have it burned.

Byron was dead, the battle won.

But, as had happened many times before, Crystal could still lose the war.

Taiven wandered the streets of Raetia, blending in perfectly with the late-afternoon crowd. With his dark hair and murky green eyes, he could hardly be considered attractive. His average looks caused many to simply pass him by without another glance.

Crystal was nowhere to be seen, and none of Mikyn's mages had been able to find out where she lived. He sauntered about the streets for a while, mimicing the attitudes of the other Raetians. In doing so, he was practically invisible.



Sorry that was so short...kinda braindead right now....
