I looked at the TV, and turned it on. The news blared loudly, and I winced. "We're back, with Olivia Genson! Olivia, why did you murder your sister?" "I did it, because she was a little child who couldn't stand anything. I did it, because she was never there for me." She smiles cruelly at the camera, her red lips stretched in a wide, almost--know manic smile.

Darkness slowly crept upon the day, and children and servants and Queen's and Knights and Squires went to bed. King Anduin however, stayed up, worried about his son. Queen Varidy stayed up to. Her thin silks were wraped around her skinny frame, and they stayed under the covers, hoping, praying for their son to come back. Their prince, their life, to come back. "Anduin," Queen Varidy finally whispered, breaking the silence. "If our son doesn't come back ... I'll never forgive you for starting this war!"

"Vari--"

"Don't Varidy ME! IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU STARTED THIS WAR AND YOU FOOLISHLY LET OUR SON! OUR SON, PARTICIPATE IN this WORTHLESS PLAN OF YOURS!"

A knock came at the door, and Anduin called, "Come in!"

"King Anduin, Queen Varidy." He bowed, and kissed Queen Varidy's hand. "I'm afraid to say, my King, my Queen, your son has passed. Regretfully. Reand saw the arrow, but was not quick enough to stop it from killing him."

"Please leave, Drang," King Anduin said flatly.

After the door had shut, Varidy started to scream. "IT's YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HADN't STARTED THIS WAR, HE'd BE ALIVE!" Tears fell from her amber eyes. "You ARE A HEARTLESS KING, AND I REGRET MARRYING YOU! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE!" She ran out, silks flying behind her, like a swirling storm.

Isabell woke up, feeling strangely empty. She touched her stomach, as she always did after she found out she was pregnant. She felt, smooth, unblemished skin. "Honey," Isabell said worriedly. "I--I can't feel the baby." She let out a half sob half disbelieving noise. Her husband turned over to face her sleepily. Lucas Mai was her love of her life. "What baby?" "The baby--you know!" she said, half hysterical. "The baby I was carrying for 8 months?" "What?" Lucus looked more alert now. "Did you have a nightmare or something? I don't remember having a chance of having a baby." "I sware--Lucus, you--you have to believe me." "Say I do." Lucus said. "Tell me what happened. In exact detail." "I was in a doctors office because I was feeling weird. This was after our vacation to Hawaii. He told me that I was a month along, and that I should be happy. I told you, and we bought a bunch of stuff for the baby." "Bell," he said, kissing her on the forehead. "I guess I have to tell you." "Tell me what?" Isabell looked worried now. "Bell," he said, hugging her close to his chest. "Hmm?" "Bell, I'm a wizard. You could've possibly been in an illusion and I didn't realize it. I'm so sorry Bell." He said, his eyes filled with tears. "People are out to get me. I think they thought that they could get you, Bell. I won't ever let them touch you." He placed a gentle kiss upon her lips. "I love you." both of them said.
