Dislcaimer: I don't own any of the characters or plot line of The Green Rider series. If I did, Zachary and Karigan would have gotten together by now.
AN: please deal with the roughness of this.
Prologue
Agemon walked down the Heroes Avenue, hoping get some peace and quiet from the other caretakers. Since the news of the deathbed marriage, the woman had been buzzing on the gossip of Lady Estora and King Zachary. He was sure that some shields needed polish or something to get away from them. Though once he heard of the marriage, he briefly thought of the young green rider who seem entranced with the high kings tomb. But he shook it off. That when he heard the banging and the screaming. He shook him out of his white robe. A tomb guard appeared by his side, spooking him even more.
"Are you all right, caretaker?" the tomb guard, Lennir, asked. Agemon stood and shook his robe.
"Fine, fine," he muttered before he walked towards the noise. To the unfinished tomb for the rider he thought about earlier. The King had come to him, expressing the need for a special tomb for the rider who saved the king from the Eletain and the second empire. The King expressed special several times. "For just in case if she should perish in the duty of duty for her country and King." He was surprised to see a light coming in between the cracks of the tomb. The tomb guard had an odd expression on his face.
"Come. Help me removed the lid," Agemon addressed as he went to one side, and then tomb guard went to the other side. Together they pulled off the lid and Agemon let a wail. "No! No! Not again." In the tomb, laid Rider Sir Karigan G'ladheon, bleeding all over the tomb. Lennir stare for a moment and then rushed off to find someone, probably another tomb guard, and return moments later with Brienne and Rory.
"Get her out now! She will stain the marble!" Agemon wailed as he looked at the body in the tomb. The three tomb guard shared a look and then nodded. They got her out as quickly as possible, without farther injuring her. Agemon then stopped wailing and looked at the three.
"This time…" he started, looking at the rider and the state of her body, "if she lives, she stays and become one of the fold, either a tomb guard or caretaker. This will be the last time she ever goes up again…" he was silenced with a look from Brienne. She whispered something to Rory, before disappearing into the shadows of the tombs.
