Darkest night

Andy wakes up on a soft bed ...she pushes herself up and the robed woman smiles at her. She feels that she's wearing bandages. You've been through a lot haven't you dear? Here drink this. Andy takes the potion and she smiles. Thank you. I've got you something you can wear. Oh and take this the king insisted he said his sons will know you are trust worthy because you have it. Andy takes the bracelet and puts it on. It looks kind of what you were wearing before...before I collapsed. Yes. Andy steps behind the screen and she changes. That arm of yours is interesting. Thank you. She smiles. Do you have a weapon? I..I might be able to ant sighs shaking her head it's too far away. That's alright what are you best at? Dao blades. I'll get them for you she says. She hands a sheath to Andy and Andy takes it and puts them on her sides. You alright dear? Andy nods and she smiles at Andy. Come she says the princes will be leaving soon. Andy follows Fiona and she comes to the hallway. The elder prince is in the throne room with his farther. She whispers you should go and seek out Ezren he's the younger prince. Andy nods turning away from the throne room. Should I wait for the older prince? Yes he will know where his brother is. Andy nods and she says thank you Fiona. She bows to her and Fiona says watch out for yourself. Then she goes back down the hallway. Andy looks around and then she conceals herself in shadow.  She looks left when a boy comes out of the throne room he has brown hair and is wearing a red scarf and a blue jacket. Any makes herself seem and he jumps into the air. Shh! Andy says. Who are you? He asks. Andy holds up her wrist and his eyes widen. But you're  - she pulls him aside as a girl comes running into the hallway and she reveals herself and conceals Callum. Run Andy hisses to him. Ohh little fox wanna play? Andy doesn't draw her swords. Who are you? Andy says. You really don't know who I am? Just tell me why you want the prince dead. Because humans destroy. Andy sighs. But you would know about that wouldn't you? Not all humans are alike. His farther killed the dragon king and the dragon prince an egg! She says Andy looks at her. Then the elf girl lunges at Andy and Andy is forced to draw and fight she's thrown on her  back and the elf says you were just a distraction! She runs after Callum. Andy's eyes widen and she gets to her feet and runs after them. The sky is darkening and she sees the king heading to his chambers.


Later She comes across a younger boy Callum and the elf girl the younger boy is holding a glowing egg. Andy's eyes widen. Hello! He says. Is that...yeah the girl says sorry about earlier. It's..I'm going to warn my farther Callum says. I'll go with you. I'll stay with him the elf girl says. What's your name? Andy says Reyla. Yours? Andy. Nice to meet ya. Thanks. Come on! Callum says. Sorry about- it's ok he says I'm fine see. She follows him and she stands beside him as he asks to see his farther. Lord Verin says grab the prince. But he's the prince - do it! The guards grab Callum. I'll scream cry out! Andy watches as he takes a insect from his pocket and Andy knocks the guards down and the green mist enters her mouth and the guards come over to her and pick her up holding her back as Callum says Andy! Andy tries to cry out but nothing comes out. Lord Verin laughs. Take her to the dungeon wait. He says he takes out something else and he says something and Andy watches his eyes turn black what are- she breathes in and he says sleep...Andy slumps and doesn't move. Andy? Callum says. Take her away.


............


Andy wakes up and her arm is chained above her head her cloak is still around her shoulders and her right arm is gone. She tries to cry out but her voice is still gone. She tries to cry out but nothing comes out. She tries to focus on something anything and cannot until something invisible hits her and suddenly she can speak she whispers help. She quiets and closes her eyes to slits as the door opens and she hears a voice say put him in here ...Andy stays still as she hears the sounds of chains rattling. Then the door closes. Andy's eyes flicker open and she sees a man like Reyla. He looks away from her disgusted. You're upset because Ezrin isn't dead. Andy says. He turns to her. I failed. He says. Not really. The dragon prince is safe and on the way to his mother. How do you know that? I heard them...the boy Callum stole a primal stone ...he Ezrin and one of your own are taking the dragon prince back to its mother. How do I know you're not lying? He hisses. I could be. Andy says and he scoffs. But I wouldn't lie. But you are an ally of king Harrow. King Harrow was kind to me. He only wanted to protect his sons. Sons? Maybe he was deceived.  Andy continues people make mistakes it's what makes humans human. Do you kind not make mistakes? Well....do you really believe taking the kings life who was just beginning to forgive himself and trying to do better is justice? I...he growls and says nothing. Then he says you talk too much girl. The door opens and Lord Viren smirks at them.


Hello. Andy glares at the man. What the hell do you want? Oh none of that he says going over to Andy. He lifts her up and says how did you get that annoying voice back? No matter. You need to do something for me and unfortunately you'll need it. He unchains her and begins to drag her from the cell. Andy turns back to the elf man. Remember how powerful forgiveness is. He pulls her away before she sees the shock on his face. He pulls her out and Andy sees a man chained up outside the cell. Hello! He says. Uh hi. Andy says shut up! He tosses Andy to the ground and he says you're going on a little trip. You will help my children find the princes and that disgusting elf  girl he leans down and whispers and you will make sure an accident happens Andy's tail stiffens and he yanks her up by her arm. Andy stumbles back winded. Then at least give me back my arm Andy says. The man smirks. But of course. He says. He leaves her standing there and gets something from  a box. That's not my arm. It's a wooden arm Andy points to the attachment socket I need my arm. He forces the wooden attachment onto her arm and he says this is your arm. Andy hits the back wall and slides down. What's wrong? Andy tears the arm off and she looks at it and it burns to rubble. She stands up as lord Viren's eyes widen. Then she holds out her left hand and her staff forms and she leans on it and her right arm appears and clatters to the floor. She bends and picks it up putting it in its place. Who...who are you? Andy's eyes flash silver I'm Andy Torres. Don't mess with me. She turns to the man chained against the wall. He's starring at Andy with wide eyes. She steps over to him and he says please don't - she touches the chains and they break away. Oh...he laughs nervously. Come on Andy says turning. She runs to the staircase and she looks right and left when she reaches the top she turns closing the staircase once the mystery man comes out. Are you ok? Andy asks him. I'm fine he says. What is your name? Gren...uh commander. Andy tilts her head and she nods. Andy. She puts her staff across her back and he says it seems you've done this many times. He says as she searches for the exit. Yes Andy mummers as she finally finds it and she goes out. She passes a stables and he says wait we can get horses. She waits outside and he comes back with two horses. Are you sure? Yes he says. Don't worry about it ...he gets onto his horse and then Andy sees Claudia and a boy running towards them. But I've ...I haven't give me your hand. She takes his hand and he helps her onto the horse and he says ya! They begin to ride.
