“No……..I will not——!”

“You will do as I command!”

“You force me to marry when my heart belongs to another!?”

“I give no shits about your desire to lay with the stable girl I only———.”

“Her name is Lara respect and address her as such!”

“You will marry Princess Niala and to ensure the union is finalized you will remain in your chambers heavily guarded.”

“You hold me as a prisoner in my own home!?”

“Guards!” Opening the doors the two guards that escorted Dana before appeared.

“I will never forgive you for this!”

“Please understand, it is what’s best for all.”

“You mean what’s best for you! I swear upon the Gods themselves I will never forgive you for this!”

“You forced my hand I had no choice——guards please escort my daughter to her chambers and see she remains there for the remainder of the evening.” Dana wanted to cry not because she was weak but out of anger, however her pride wouldn’t allow one single tear to be shed. Glaring at her mother then at Princess Niala she reluctantly turns around and allows the guards to lead her back to her chambers. Once the door to her bedroom closed loudly behind her using her fist she aggressively pounds away at the oak doors. Driven by adrenaline and rage she ignored the spilling blood from her swollen knuckles. When she felt she had no strength left she leaned against the door finally releasing the tears she fought hard to conceal.

The surprise attack bought on by Jennicus executioners had bought them all closer together. A new sisterhood had formed consisting of loyalty, honor, and commitment. Although, only one of them suffered injuries breath still filled her lungs. They all rotated accordingly standing watch over her as her body slowly began to heal. In celebration of their victory two wild pigs were hunted and slaughtered. Looking around it pleased Bette to see everyone laughing and in good spirits. As she searched at the faces of them all one in particular contained a sour disposition, it was Gaia. Seeing this also caused her mood to shift. Since, engaging in battle with Jennicus executioners Gaia had kept her distance not speaking a single word to her. Before the attack they had shared words about missing their wives. Although, Tina initially did not support the idea of her returning to fight she eventually gave in letting Bette know she had her support. Cybele, according to Gaia had not been so welcoming to the idea. Something was bothering her friend deeply, wanting to give her space she hoped in due time she would come to her when she felt ready. For the time being, she silently prayed to the Gods to grant her a clear head and conscious.
