    Griffen sat up in his bed, gasping. He had just dreamt of being forcefully strangled to death by someone's who face he couldn't see in his. With a hand held up to his throat, the king's red eyes flew about his dimly-lit quarters. Nothing seemed out of place, except for the presence of his personal advisor who stood just inside of the entryway. When had Reginald gotten here?


    "Sire, it is almost time," the other man said, a faint quiver to his generally monotone voice, almost as if he were out of breath. After giving a deep bow, the advisor left the bedroom and Griffen alone with his thoughts.


    Letting out a long sigh, the dark-haired ruler prepared for the day by dressing in signature dark clothing and slicking back his hair. By the time he was finished with his morning routine, it was pitch black outside with no sign of dawn approaching, despite Griffen's pocket watch stating that it was 6:24 A.M. Shoving the thought to the back of his mind, he left his personal chambers and venture through the castle, towards its dungeon underground.


    "Bring up the prisoner," His Majesty called from the top of the stairs to the guards that protected the door leading to the dungeon. Within ten minutes, the soldiers on-duty returned with the prisoner in their custody.

    (Sorry for the late reply, and that it's short.)


    The elven woman hadn't been released from her shackles for very long, as it seemed that one of the guards had taken pity on her. She hadn't realized what the time truly was, as it was rather obvious that a prisoner like her wouldn't be informed of the time. That was when the door opened, and the guards dragged her into their custody. The snow haired elf looked about the room, her eyes catching a glimpse of the king. Her mask from the day before was still stable, although she couldn't help but cringe inwardly when she realized it was time for the execution

    (You're good, friend! ^^ And the length looks good to me :D )


    The king watched with emotionless eyes as his guards stood with the elven prisoner just a mere few feet in front of him. Now that she wasn't in the dim lighting of the dungeon, Griffen couldn't help but be in awe of Azura's natural beauty that all elves seem to have. It was enough for his breath to catch in throat. It was truly a pity that the elven race didn't approve of him as king. Letting out a soft sigh, the dark-haired male closed the distance between him and the prisoner until he was no more than a foot away from her.


    "This is your last chance," Griffen stated coolly. "Do you have any-" The king's words were cut short when a piercing pain burst throughout his left side. Backing away from the guards in front of him, the male's red eyes darted about the room. Something was wrong.


    "Watch out, Sire!" Reginald's voice cried out. A heartbeat later, a figured shrouded in black attire grabbed Griffen from behind and held a sword to his throat.

    Acura couldn't help but notice the king looking over at her, his face bearing no emotion. Though she detected something else, as he seemed to have caught his breath suddenly. This caused her to raise and eyebrow, feeling a bit confused by his reaction. She was eventually made to look around the area, looking rather dismal. She was extremely young by the standardsame of her race, as they were capable of living for a long time. Azura didn't react as he came up to her, as she was keeping a stoic demeanor.


    She listened to him, as he was once again asking for her last words. Her calm demeanor changed almost immediately, as the king suddenly gripped his side in pain. She couldn't help but gasp when she noticed the black figure holding the sword to the kings neck.

    The figure shrouded in black clothing maintain an eerily silent composure as it man-handled the king with ease. The thing stood nearly a foot taller than the man in his grasps, which was saying something since he himself was six feet tall. Griffen began coughing violently as his throat began to be crushed from the pressure of the burly arms around his neck. A faint trickle of blood began to drip from the sword that was pressed into the rule's skin.


    "D-do something," the dark-haired male ordered towards the guards, barely managed to choke out the words as he clawed at the arm-sword combo that held him captive. His gaze briefly landed on the prisoner, wondering what she would do in this situation. If she were smart, she would utilize this opportunity as a chance to escape without looking back.

    (Sorry if I accidentally made her overpowered, or if my post sucked. ^_^;)


    The guards had let go of Azura, when the black figure had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although she didn't agree with the king's morals, that didn't mean that she would want him dead. She was startled by the fact that the guards hadn't bothered to do anything, especially as the black figure held a sword to the man's throat. It was a rather simple choice that she decided to make. The elf managed to break her bonds, rather easily in the long run. She was a skilled battlemage, and it had been rather obvious when she had battled the soldiers.


    The guards may have thought she was going to attack them as soon as she got free, or at least tried to escape. This was the opposite of what she ended up doing in this chaotic situation, she decided to try and help the king. She basked away, before she suddenly shot multiple sharp shards of ice towards the black figures head, she had other spells but they would likely put the king in danger. Ice magic was her specialty, and she never had trouble controlling it. Many would likely think her foolish for even casting spells to try and help someone,
