Rhea half fell half jogged down the spiralling stairs. She didn't dare remove the blindfold in case the man she was bound to recognised their position. The last thing they needed was for the elves to know they were attacking one of their prized towers. He had to know by know that there was some...

Unable to see Rhea could not see the strain but she could hear it in her friends voice. The realisation neither of them would be coming down from this tower began to settle over her and with it came a calm sense of determination. If this was their last stand they would make it count. They would...

Stags ran this way and that in the confusion, some with and some without their riders. Some with their riders trailing lifelessly behind with their foot caught in the stirrup. He brought his own frantic stag under control with a firm hand and a snarl. "Watch for traps you fools!" ...in the...

Marching. The trees parted for them with bows as they rode past on their steeds, lances high. He could smell fire in the distance and it burned in his soul too; hate... he hated.. The Princess opened her eyes and the visions in her mind merged with the one before her for a second then...

Upon returning, the two would be met with a sight that would undo Gideon's tough and brutish reputation for life. Rhea had at some point finally given in to the exhaustion the orb had inflicted upon her mind and had slumped over entirely until her head was in his lap. Instead of shoving her off...

"What are you doing?" Gideon grunted as he came to sit beside Rhea, leaning over her shoulder to peer at her journal. "The fuck is that?" "Something new," Rhea said absentmindedly as she continued to draw. In the last hour the Princess has done seven sketches. She never really knew what her...

Rhea wanted to argue but without Leo to lean against she would collapse again. As it was it was only with his help that she managed the winding stairs back down the tower and over to a low wall where she could sit with her back propped against. Gideon followed muttering about not being a servant...

Rhea was still having trouble separating her own thoughts from the lingering tangles of the Falwood. With Leo's help she managed to get her feet under her but her whole body still shook violently. There was no flinching away from him though, no rejection of his help, instead she allowed her...

It wasn't just a map the elves had created with their enchantment. It was a Consciousness. A consciousness that now bore its entire presence down on the young Princess's mind with its ancient magic. Rhea's hand tightened even more on the hilt of her blade to the point it began to dig into her...

Let us show you... Rhea could do nothing but tighten her hand on the hilt of her sword before the images hit her. Suddenly it made sense why the trees had acted as they had when Leo had used his foul magic on them. The orb showed her what it had done, how it had stunted its view of that part of...

Unlike her comrades, Rhea had not found anything that looked important enough for them to take other than the usual maps of the territory. Though, from what she had glanced, the Anirian cartographers had not been far off. Still, they would take what they could and Rhea bundled them into her...

Rhea nodded but she sat down first to clean her blade. Blood splattered her face where she had had to kill one elf in particularly close quarters but that didn't seem to bother her half as much as the blood on her blade. In fact, the inanimate object seemed more angry about it's state than Rhea...

"'Faster'," Rhea repeated and made a face, clearly not believing that faster meant better. They could hear the bloody bellows from here! If that fool of a man ended up getting himself killed here today, Rhea couldn't say that she would be sad about it. Turning to their own task and trying to put...

Rhea nodded her agreement as they watched Leo sketch out their plan. It wasn't artful, it wasn't sneaky. It was plain and simple and Rhea appreciated that in this scenario. They weren't here to win. They were here to buy their fellows time for their real target. "No killing?" Gideon's ugly face...

8...7....6....5.... Rhea's hands slowly unclenched from the fists they had balled themselves into though thin crescent shaped marks remained in her palms as evidence of how close she had come to losing her temper. It was a good thing they were close to the tower because she wasn't sure she...
