"I would wish to visit her," David requested.
He looked to Camella. He watched her, carefully, and with concern.

"Very well. As for your payment. You abandoned your duty. You abandoned your allies. You betray your kin. You treat me as a source of profit. You subject hundreds of innocents to death. Therefore.. my gift to you is a quick death." [spoiler]RED ZONE.[/spoiler] [i]Armillion's arms then shot for Fabio's head, as the king would grab the shapeshifter's skull. His hands planted firmly upon Fabio's skull, his thumbs retreating to his eye sockets and attempting to push into his eyes.[/i]

"My kin is the wilds.... and I shall return to them," Fabio breathed his final breathe. Blood stained the king's hands. "NO!" The Hunter's Ghost shrieked. "Centauri, think of it this way, since you can't revive him here, you get a second chance, and find a Guardian who isn't a traitorous scumbag," David replied. "Yeah, you get to find someone cute. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with noble temper man, over here," Amethyst told Centauri. "Oh suurre... Amethyst..." Centauri said. "Amethyst..." David chided. "Seriously, David's older brother is far more charming. He's also daring and adventurous and cute. Have you heard his Irish accent? He's sooo awesome," the purple Ghost fangirled. "Amethyst... what have I told you about embarrassing me by talking about Jack?" David asked. "To not to..." Amethyst said. "I believe we have better things to discuss. Including, what to do now that Armillion knows where they are," Centauri said. "Eh, I guess send a small team through the gate to scout out the area, and you can go with them so when one of them dies, you can revive them," she suggested. "Amethyst... shut up," Centauri would growl. "I apologize about Amethyst, she really runs her mouth, as you can see," David told the council.

[i]David's apology would go nearly unnoticed (though Hyaenis noticed and held up a pale hand, about to say "No worries, sir-") as Latrans screamed out as Armillion finished the job, with Lupus backing up in his chair.[/i] [i]The king dug his thick thumbs deep into Fabio's head, boring through the skull before ripping both fingers out and simply breaking Fabio's neck afterwards.[/i] "My daughter.." [i]He murmured.[/i] "...will not be pleased." "Excuse me, what?" [i]Lupus stood up, as the bloody king responded.[/i] "...Isabella tamed Ragnarok, when the creature was but the size of a pony. Now.. it is likely that he is dead. No matter.."
-
"As for this new information, Armillion, what will you do with it?" David asked, "You know where Oliver is, are you going to go... er retrieve him, or will you let him be." Amethyst piped up, "I will admit, if Sarah's with him, he's safe. She's a bit of a badass."
-
"...Perhaps there's more than a few reasons to why my son has left this war. But.." [i]Armillion sighed, wiping off his bloodstained hands with a napkin from his robing. He turned his gaze to David, sighing.[/i] "No matter. I have a kingdom to rule. If he chooses to stay out of this chaos.. that is his choice."

Edited by Splashback77: 1/26/2018 9:22:55 PMThe Titan sighed in relief. As long as Armillion wouldn't try to visit, his half-siblings would be safe. David looked at the stiletto. He scan it for any defining symbols.
-
"This meeting is.. dismissed." [i]Armillion muttered, as the council rose and would leave, with the Lionknights lifting up Fabio's body and carrying him out.[/i] [i]Only Hyaenis remained.[/i] "Recognized the Irish there.. I think it was Irish."
-
"Hyaenis..." David asked, handing the knife to the man, "Do you have any ideas on who this knife belongs to?"
-
"I do. Don't be shocked, however.. this is a religious blade. The type once used by old clerics and songstresses in self defense. That would point us to Latrans, but.." [i]Hyaenis sighed.[/i] "That makes no sense. She wouldn't target Julian.. would she?"
-
"The possibilities in this situation are endless. Framing, replication of a weapon...." David noticed, "But there's only so many chances we have."
-
"Correct. Though.. I don't think that this is the result of framework. Armillion and Latrans are close. Too close. Where one goes, the other follows. If we can bait them out, let them know that we're after them and instigate them.. Armillion would confront us, we cannot beat his word. Latrans, though.. she is fearful, unlike him." [i]Hyaenis sighed, worried.[/i]
-
"Of course..." David replied. The Titan wondered, "How are we to approach this? For one, we if we are to confront Latrans, we'll have to get her alone."
-
"There's always her church. But we need more than just this knife. If you could distract her.. I can go through her office. Shameful work, I know, but.." [i]Hyaenis shrugged.[/i] "I'm willing to do anything, for the good of the people."
-
"Alright," David decided, "I happen to have a lot of siblings and half-siblings. I have 5 siblings, and let's see here...." He began to count on his fingers, "Phoebe, Emilia, Myles, Sage, Xavier, Beau, Kaleb... 7 half-siblings."
-
"...lot of siblings, huh? I have.. none. What do your siblings have to do with the current situation, though?" [i]Hyaenis questioned, confused almost by David's counting.[/i]
-
"How do you think I'm going to distract Latrans?" David asked.
-
"...[i]Oh[/i]. I see, I see. Say, you could use your.. partner, I suppose, as well. Not use, but.. Latrans should have visited Camella by now." [i]Hyaenis mentioned:[/i]
-
"Camella is dealing with enough. She needs rest," David decided.
-
"Very well." [i]At that, Hyaenis would sigh, though he would pocket his hands and nod towards David then.[/i] "Ready whenever you are."
-
"Yes... we must get on that right away... but... this has been sort of a rough start, okay. Rest... I need some rest," David spike.
-
"Rest granted. The palace is your home, for.. a time. I trust that lady Camella shall come to visit sometime this afternoon."
-
"She is?" David asked, "That's wonderful!"
-
"Wonderful indeed, though be wary!" [i]Hyaenis stated, suddenly.[/i] "Your attackers may not be so.. well, simple, another time."
-
"That's rather.... haunting..." David replied.

"Paranoia inspires action. Good or bad actions, but action nonetheless. Go ahead and find a place to stay, for a time."
