Friends, Foe and the Force
Celene Pov
I was waiting patiently for our soon to be guest in the interrogation room when the doors open. One of my Commanders saluted me and presented the 'guest' in question. From what I can tell he was tense, probably the commander doing, but he staring me he seems to both excited and intimidated. I couldn't help but let a smile escape me. From what I can tell, he is not built like the men of our race, no in fact he hardly looks capable of doing anything, how the hell did he beat one of the men's best fighter is beyond me. The commander placed his weapons on the table, they were strange but familiar to us, considering we often use the same tools. Then I noted the males prized scimitar, they don't usually let any men have their swords, especially to outsiders. The mere fact that he was allowed to take it was in recognition of skill as well as adaptability, but that remains to be seen. As the human was made to sit in front of me, I thought on what should ask him first. I dismissed all the guards except for my commander. I thought it be polite to introduce myself. "Hello, my name is Celene, and as my commander has no doubt told you, I am the captain of the royal guards, and I would like to start by asking you some questions." He seemed to calmed down a bit. "Who are you, and why have you come to our planet?" I asked sternly. He flinched but responded "My name is Devin Smith and I crashed landed here." "What are your intentions here?" I questioned. "I just want to find a way home; I don't want to cause trouble for anyone any more than I have." He sounds sincere, but then again so can anyone. "You're a force user yet you used weapons such as these, why?" "These are the weapons I know how to use; I don't even know what this force even is." "Who trained you in such weapons." "No one, I learned on my own." Well he is just full of surprises isn't he. no formal training whatsoever and yet he was able to defeated a harden warrior. That had to be sheer dumb luck. In any case I have much to think about, I should bring this to Queen Kanira. "I have to go, you will wait here, and try not to escape. Let's go commander." "Yes Captain." As I pass Devin to leave out the room I noticed he had a peculiar scent, but I disregarded it and proceed to make my report to the Queen.

As the door closed I'm left to my thought, or the lack thereof. I mean dam Celene had some curve to her. Even for a cat she is hot, and that voice doesn't help me calm my thoughts down in the least. As I thought about it just excites me more. There has to be law against it I am sure of it, but dammed if it would be worth it. Between my constant thinking of what happened and Celene, my headache started up again, so I thought it would be best to lean back in my seat and rest. Then I dreamed I was on a planet, it was different. It felt so hard to breath there, but there was this person stalking me. She had these red light rods, one in each hand, and a bald head, kind of reminds me of a character from one of my games. I tried to focus on her, but the fact remained I don't know who she is.
I felt a pull and woke up, and when I did everything in the room dropped to the floor, I fell back on the chair trying to avoid getting smashed by the table. I look around at the now messed up room, my stuff scattered about the chair and table being bent and damaged. "What the heck happened?" I asked myself. "That's what I like to know." I turn with my fist raised but relaxed when I realized it was Celene. "Nice to see you have good reflexes. Follow me, the Queen requested your presence." She commanded. "Uh, ok" I followed her out the room, to see six of the royal guard outside. Did something happen while I was out, I wonder what was going on. I was escorted to a large corridor where there was Royal Guards everywhere, then we came to a large glamorous door which I assume lead to the throne room. Before they opened the door Celene turned and faced me. "Word of advice, don't speak unless spoken to, and be on your best behavior lest you be executed on the spot or the very least have your tongue cut out." I swallowed hard at that thought "Thanks for the heads up." She smiled at me. The doors opened and we walked in, and I have to say I never felt so puny in my life. The room is beautiful, and was full of expense items, I felt every step I take into the room is more than I can ever afford. Then there was the throne with the queen herself. Celene had me stop a good distance away and went up next to the queen to whisper something in her ear. I was beyond nervous, I was intimidated, hell terrified of what might happen, my head was buzzing of all the possibilities that could happen. Then the queen stood up, when she did I kneeled, because I thought it was proper to someone of her stature. Then she spoke, "It's nice to see an outsider who knows their place in front me, and I must commend you." Her voice was smooth and gentle, and her compliment made me happy that I made the right move. "Stand up and look me in the eye." As I stood I found that she was right in front me, with Celene close behind her. Now that I get a good look at her I noticed that she was beautiful, almost as beautiful as Celene, in my personal opinion. Her eyes showed gentleness and wisdom, I don't know how to describe it. She starts to walk around me sizing me up, "So you're the one in question that was able to fight off Clyde's men?" she asked. I responded "Yes your highness." I was stiff as a board, afraid that even the slightest movement would be my death. She walks back in front of me, with a face that looks like intrigue maybe. "You should know that most outsiders are forbidden to land on this planet, especially humans, and those who does are immediately executed." I wanted to point out that I crashed, and didn't come here willingly, but the words Celene has spoken earlier made me keep my mouth shut, because I like my tongue where it is, and oh yea, I like to live long enough to go home. "Though there is a dilemma, not only you crashed here, but you also spared the ones by all intents and purpose, was trying to kill you. Why?" I thought about it for a second, replaying everything that had happen. I had to come up with an honest answer. "Because it wasn't my right to kill them. As far as they were concerned they was defending their territory, their home. Why should I kill them for protecting their families?" The queen and Celene looked surprised at my answer. "Intriguing." She says. Then the queen walked away towards back to her throne and beckoned Celene to her. Then they talked quietly.
Celene Pov
I'm taken aback by Devin's words. He was both calm and serious, no hint of a lie. He may be a stranger, but he is closer to understanding our customs more so than anyone else. Queen Kanira is beckoning me to her side and I go to her. "Quite the interesting guy you brought to me today Celene." "That he is my queen." I gave a faint smile at Devin's bewilderment. "I see you taken a liking to him." I was shocked the queen would even say such a thing. "Don't be absurd, there's no way I would like him, especially a human." I responded. "Oh then why did you reject it so hard?" She asked. She got me, she set a trap and I feel for it. So what if I find him interesting. "Even so outsiders are forbidden on this planet and must be given special permission to be even in the system. Yet here we have someone who can hold his own, and has our morals, despite the fact he is human, what is your take on him." "He has no training on the sword or the bow, both of which he freelanced. I think him winning that fight was a fluke." I pointed out. "Then let us test him, we shall put him through the trial." "My queen, are you sure, wouldn't it be quicker to kill him now?" "Yes, but this way we can see if all that freelance amounts to anything. Also if he does make it, you will be participating in the final trial." She commanded. "My queen I must object" "Your objection is noted but you will do it wither you like it or not. This will determine your fate as well as his. Besides if it was a fluke as you say it was, then he will die anyway." "As you wish my queen." I surrendered my argument.

I'm just standing here, you know freaking the fuck out, because I see Celene and the queen face change several time, then they both got serious, like really serious. The queen stood, "It has been decided. Devin Smith, you will undergo a trial, if you survive you will free of all charges. If not, then you will die. Do you accept these terms?" Do I have a choice? I mean seriously die now, or fight and die. "I accept," I responded. She smiled "Good your trial will begin tomorrow. For tonight get some rest, you will need it. Guards escort him to his room." I bowed respectfully, and followed two of the guards all the way to my room. It was really tight by doable, and I already see all my stuff on the bed. "Rest well, it will most likely be your last." said one of the guards as she closed the door. Well shit, what kind of trials am I going to go through. I found the bathroom. It was basic, I had a sink, and a shower with towels and a wash cloth. I striped down and got in the shower. I don't know what they had in the shower but it felt amazing against my skin, but then again anything does after going through jungle and mud for four days. I exited the shower and grabbed the towel and dried off, then headed to the living area to get a spare change of clothes. I looked outside the window, so see part of the city and the jungle I was in just this morning. After a while I got my food out and started to eat, because for one I was hungry. I was trying not to think that this might be the last time I eat something, ever, no pressure right. After I was done I started to clean and sharpen my weapons, and I was lost in my thoughts. So much in fact that my bow and sword sheaths were shinning and spotless, while my arrows and sword was so sharp that it can cut just by touching it. Thinking I was too distracted I decided to put everything up, and went to sleep.
While I was dreaming I saw the city guards that greeted me, the queen, and Celene in what looks like a dining area. It seemed to be a grand feast but something was off. One of the guest was looking around the room, then tipped his glass of wine over. It must have been a signal, because just then I saw one of the city guard take out a gun and aimed it at the queen. Before I could move she shot and killed her. But why? why would the city guard kill their queen. When I looked back I saw Celene about to get stabbed. Before I can intercept I was shot, everything started to go black
I woke up in a cold sweat. It was early in the morning, because the sun was barely up. "What did all that mean?" Just then I got a knock on the door "Who is it?" I asked I tried to shake away the thought and got up. "Celene, may I come in?" she asked. "Sure," as I put my pants on and move to fix up the bed, she came in. "It is almost time for your first trial, all you need are you weapons, you can leave the rest here. Are you about ready?" she asked. Even though my back is to her I can feel her staring, it was a little unnerving, but not unwelcomed. I put my shirt on, attached my swords to my waist and got my bow and arrows. "Yea, I'm ready." As I looked at her she has something of a cold stare that sent a shiver down my spine. "Let's go." As I followed her I was wondering what my first trial will be. I noticed we were going through a pass in the forest that led uphill. After a while it put us on top of a wide flat plane. "Your first trial will test your archery skills. You have five targets, one at the two hundred, four hundred, six hundred, eight hundred, and the one thousand meters. If you miss once a hail of arrows will rain down on you. Fair well." She said. I look back to find her but she was gone already. Lovely, well it shouldn't be too hard. I spot the first target, aimed and fired, the arrow was pulled down faster and it hit the ground. Out of nowhere a hail of arrows came raining down, it looked like there was no escape. Then I saw a gap, I tried to aim myself there hoped to God that it was a way to avoid the arrows. Then the arrows came down, hitting everywhere around me, but not once was I hit. I finally started to breathe again. "So fun fact gravity is slightly heavier, and hey, I can actually live through this and not be a porcupine pincushion." So after the arrow storm stopped, I aimed again and this time I hit the target dead center, after which a flair went up. "I guess that signals anyone watching that I hit the target." On to the next one.
Celene Pov
Looks like he survived the first volley of arrows, guess he found the small gap in them. Did I mention the gap to him, as I thought about it? Well nonetheless he got it, good for him. Then I see two more go up. "He is doing quite well, isn't he Celene." "It would appear so." I replied "You don't seem excited that he might survive." "He won't, and why do you have me in the third trial." Kanira sighs and says, "Think about it like this, if the first two trials don't kill him then you will have the chance to do it yourself." As we spoke the last Target flair went up. I have to say I am impressed he was able to hit the last target. "Excellent, go prepare the next trial." Kanira commanded. "Yes my queen"
Devin Pov
"Son of a … who's bright idea was it to put the target in, in between two dam tree! Never mind having to find that little dot, in the first dam place!" A guard walked up behind "You ready for your next trial?" I jumped a little. "Uh sure, how long were you behind me?" "Long enough, let's go." She ordered. I followed her back down the path and back into the palace. Then we stopped in the middle of the hall. I was wondering what was going on, but I didn't have to wait long, because the floor below me open up and I dropped down. I came to a surprisingly good landing, but I was in a very dark room, with no source of light anywhere. "Your next trial is that you must find and beat us before you bleed out," Said some mysterious women. Just then I received a cut on my torso. How they get so close without me knowing, then I received another cut, this time on my shoulder. I threw a punch, but it connected with nothing. She laughed "You got to be faster than that if you want to catch me." As Time goes by I getting ripped up more and more. My reflexes had gotten faster but that still doesn't help me, and the more I loss blood the less I be able to fight back. Until I decide to hold completely still, not moving, barely breathing, just listening. I detected something coming my way so I moved just in time to dodge an attack, and if there was any doubt, the nice breeze I felt by my neck confirmed it. "Very good, now you're learning, lets step it up a notch." I detected several move attacks coming, and I dodge them swiftly but I was slow at some point because I gotten cut again. So I picked up the pace, almost to the point of dancing, jut to avoid getting cut. Once I was avoiding them more easily, I tried to find a pattern so I can find an opening, but there is no such pattern to be had, so I took an educated guess and threw a punch, and what do you know, I made contact, and when I did her suit lit up. She looked shock as I was when I finally got one. But I didn't have much time to celebrate considering I got cut twice. I tried to focus my senses again, but this time is being different, I could hear their breath and their movement. I was blind as a bat but was still able to know where they are. I felt them on either side of me, then they began a rushed attack, and I had my hands directed at both of them. I waited for the right time then grabbed their hands. I twisted myself just enough redirect their attack, then twist back to deliver a simultaneous torso punch to them both. First they lit up, then the room, revealing the three ladies who mercilessly attacked me. Then I noticed Celene and the queen standing off in a corner watching everything. She started to clap "Well done passing your second trial." My legs were shaking bad, I was cut up pretty bad, I lost a lot of blood, but I had to be the tough guy. "What's next?" I asked. She looked deep in thought, "Your third and final trial will be held tomorrow, you will be participating in a small tournament." "I will…take on anything…you ... go ..." I feel over and blacked out.
Celene Pov
"Get him patched up and ready for tomorrow." Kanira ordered. I can't believe this, very few togorian are able to past this trial, and yet this human did it. I was furious, but also relieved, and I don't know why. He has more skills then he lets on. "I have to admit he fights with the tenacity and stubbornness of a Togorian" My queen commented. "Indeed he does." I clumsily let a smile etch its way across my face. Kanira started to laugh "You sure you don't want him, tomorrow is the start of the month and he seems quite able to take care of himself." I thought about it "Well…no he won't be suitable at all, I mean seriously." I blushed a little at the embarrassing display I caused. "We will see tomorrow." As Kanira walked off I went to check on Devin, and looked like a Liphon has gotten to him or something the way he was cut up and bleeding. They had his shirt pulled up checking for vitals, his deep caramel brown skin made it difficult to find all his wounds he had received. He was well built for someone so young, he must have had some kind of training to have the muscles he had. "How is he?" I asked the medic "His vital signs are strong; he should be fine after an hour or two." I should be upset that that he survived the trial, but I'm actually happy that he did, I don't know why. "Contact me as soon as he wakes up I wish to talk to him." I ordered. "Yes Captain." As I walked away my chest started to feel tight, why do I feel so uneasy. I head back to my room, to prepare my weapons and armor for tomorrow. As I was cleaning them I found myself thinking about him a lot. How he was able to make it through. He was in a state of panic but after time went on he became so calm. He was still going by his sheer will to live. He stood despite being bloody and beaten, and his eyes showed such focus in such a way I never seen before. I shake my thoughts away, and strengthen my resolve, now is not the time to be daydreaming he is a weak human, one in which I must kill. "If he does not give up, I will kill him" As I said that, I got a notification from the medic that Devin was waking up. I set everything down and made my way to the medical wing.
Devin Pov
I wake up slowly, trying to get a bearing on where I am, looks like a medical room. As I try to sit up my chest started to wrack with pain. As I looked around I notice I was being stared at by the nurses in the room. "Why are you all staring at me for?" I asked. "Mabey they are curious as I am about the human who finished the second trial." I turned around to find Celene in all her beauty right behind me. "I just followed my instincts, mixed with an educated guess, is it that unusual for someone pass the trials?" She started to laugh. "Well let me start by telling you that these trials are a slow execution. It's meant to give you a chance to choose how you're going to die. The first trial has fifty percent survival rate, and the second has a five percent survival rate." She explained. "For humans? I asked "For togorian, for humans its less." "How much less?" "About half." I swallowed hard. at thought of it. If that was odds of survival, how did I survive? I looked at Celene again and noticed she was wearing casual cloths and it showed off her curves a lot more. I have to say if she wasn't so intimidating… and if I wasn't in a death trap trial I would definitely ask her out. I looked back up at her face to see her smirking "Finally decided to look at my face did you." I heard the others in the room giggling, and I looked away in embarrassment. "I just thought you looked really nice in casual clothes." I cautiously looked back to see her show a look of shock. "Well thank you, but I never asked you." She turns and walks away, then turns around, "Oh you probably should learn how to control your hormones better. I'm flattered that you have interest in me but seriously, anyone can know what you're thinking." Then she walked out the room. It took me awhile to figure out what she saying, then it clicked. My face turned so red I thought I was a tomato, that would explain why I was getting laughed at. Dumbass, the cats I know of from earth can smell hormones, so why not a highly advanced race of cats. I'm ready to die right there of embarrassment. Then one of the nurses came over checking my bandages, then she whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, if you somehow pass your next trial, you'll get your chance." Before I can ask her what she meant she walked off. I decided that I needed to go prepare, the queen said something about a tournament and I doubt it will be a cakewalk.
I raised off the bed, found my shirt and gear and put them on. As soon as I left out the door, I was greeted by two of the royal guard. "Ah good your up, it's almost time for your final trial, come with us." Already but I just got up dame it. Well she did say that it was a slow execution, no rest for the weary. As we near a giant door I heard a noise. As I was beckon to go through the door, I found out it was a large arena filled fully by a crowd cheering. I was escorted to the middle of arena then they left, the sound of the crowds cheering was booming, the walls made of hard stone that went up twenty feet. There will be no way I would be able to climb out. Then as the queen stood the crowd became silent, and it was a scary thought. "Welcome everyone, I would first like to welcome you all to this wonderfully rare event. In all of Togorian history, only ten had made it this far two of which have survived. But here we have a human the first of his kind to make it past the second trial. He will undergo four intensive rounds, for which if he survives he will not only earn his freedom, but will be welcomed as one of us." The crowd roared in excitement, then when she waved her arms out, they became silent again. "Devin Smith, are you ready to fight for your life." She asked me. "Yes your highness." "Then let your final trial begin!" As she said that four of the city guards walked up towards me, and they look strangely familiar. "Wait! You're the ones that escorted me in the city." She laughed "Good so you do remember us, then know that we will be the ones who will kill you!"
They all drew their sword. I guess I don't have much choice in the matter, so I drew my swords as well. As soon as I did, they all started to charge, but they felt slow so I started to run towards them. No one flinched as we charged at each other, at that moment the fight begins. I blocked the first two guards attack swipe at one of the guard's legs knocking her over. Then dodge the other counter attack, moved to the side of her and hit her on the back of her head with the hilt of my blade knocking her out. Then I stomped on the one I knocked over in the stomach knocking the wind out of her before she passed out. I looked behind me and dodge just in time to avoid getting stabbed in the back, I kicked her in the stomach then punch her back, making her fall flat on the floor. I turned to see the last one charging, I blocked her first attack, but dodge her second twisting around her grabbing her arm to swing her around, then I let her go to watch her roll on the dirt floor, I closed the distance fast. Before she reached her sword I stepped on it, and pointed my blade at her face, she admitted defeat. I think that round took approximately five minutes, but none the less the crowd was silent. Everyone looked shocked except the queen, I wonder what's her stake in all this. Then I heard someone clapping, I looked behind me to find three royal guards "Good job outsider, but I wonder if your strong enough to give me some amusement." She drew his sword out "Try not to die too quickly." She runs towards me, faster than the guards I was fighting, I ran towards her as well then our swords clashed. "Good you were able to block a hit." I breathed heavily trying to manage her heavy blow. "Don't you think you need your friends help, I would hate for you to get embarrassed" I mocked. We separated and clashed over and over again. "Ha! You got good humor I give you that, but you can't handle all three of us" "You sure? Eh I bet their both wussy any way." I jabbed, and boy I must have struck a nerve, because both of them drew their swords and charged. "Hahaha, now you done it, I can't stop them now. Let's go ladies." they all charged at me they attack at random jumping all over and around me. I was back to dancing trying to avoid getting cut. Wait randomly, just like the second trial, except this time I can see them. I studied their movement then I saw it, I saw the pattern. One always tried to cut my head, another always goes for my legs, and the third always tried to cut me in the middle. "What's the matter, all you have been doing is dodging. Have you run out of smart things to say?" I really hope this plan works. "Actually I do have one last thing to say." I block two of the girls strikes and kicked one back. I disarmed the two I blocked at the same time, then I grabbed both of their head and then knocking their heads hard together rendering them unconscienced. I faced the last one standing and said, "Your predictable." As I smirked, she grew angry, and whenever anyone angry, their form is sloppy. She aimed high I dodged low and delivered a punch in her stomach so strong she flipped backwards. I won but I have no time to rest because I saw two more felines coming, I am guessing these are Celene commanders. Well you know what they say, in for a penny in for a pound. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and charged right at them without delay.
Celene Pov
I can't believe this, my royal guards beaten by a human. On one hand my guards are going to get the harshest training exercise of their life, because obviously their going soft. But on another note Devin is doing quite well, he quick thinking, conniving, and strong. Then I noticed the queen looking at me, I bent over close to her to see what she wanted. Then she said "You may be good at hiding your hormones from everyone else but you are not so lucky with me, I saw you. The more you stare at Devin the more you want him." I looked at her in disbelief "Don't be ridiculous, I would rather die than accept him as my mate." I rejected, though the idea wouldn't be all bad. "Well it looks like you will get your chance." The queen pointed out. I look back at the arena one of my commander is down and the other is desperately trying to fight back. She charged at Devin they clashed a few more times before the sword was knock out of her hand. She was punch in the stomach, her arm was grabbed then she was tossed onto the ground, she was done. I left my queens side so I can go prepare, as I made my way down, I had strengthened my resolve…
Devin Pov
I was breathing heavy, why you ask, cause those fucking commandos almost killed me, I thought I was going to die. But I had to get ready for the final round, I had to win this. "It's time to announce the final round of this trial, Devin Smith will now face the unbeatable captain of the royal guard, Celene!" the queen announced. Celene! I had to fight Celene, and did she say unbeatable. I looked at Celene and her stare scared me so bad that I fell backwards, but I had quickly gotten back up. "This will be a fight to the death. Begin." I looked at Celene. "Stay still, I'll try to make this quick." she said, then she disappears. I was looking around for her and didn't see her. Then all of my instinct told me to duck, and when I did I found Celene right behind me. "Too close" I said out loud. "Stay still so I can end this quickly! Don't make this harder than it needs to be." So said coldly. "Like hell I going to sit still." I tried to swing at her but she disappeared again. I leapt forward narrowly dodging her attack from above. When she hit the floor with her sword. it made the floor crack. I seriously don't know if I can take a direct hit. She began a series of attacks; each time they are missing me by mere inches. I tried to block one of her attacks but that resulted in one of my sword being knock out my hand. She was fast and merciless; I couldn't do anything to stop her. I ducked some and dodge the other, until my other sword was knock out of my hand. With Celene sword against my throat, I slowly fell to my knees, not having anything to defend myself with. "Any last words?" she asked. I just closed my eyes, after I came so far, I was going to die like this. This is fuck up, but then I felt something inside me, something kept telling me to fight. As this feeling grew I felt a certain power growing. I couldn't explain it at all. I opened my eyes suddenly to see her blade raised, the crowd was cheering, sure that I was going to die. I opened both of my hands up and summoned both of my swords. Just as Celene was about to deliver the final blow, I blocked it with all my strength, then kicked her back. She was surprised for a second, but didn't hesitate to press her attack. When she disappeared again I was able to track her, not with my eyes but with my ears, each time she attacked I either blocked it or deflected it. Then she faced me head on, she was fast, normally I wouldn't have been able to keep up, but for some reason I can see and block them all. I knocked her blade out of her hand, but that didn't stop her. She grabbed and twisted one my arms enough for me to drop the scimitar, which she proceeds to take, I got free and kicked her away. We clashed our swords once again, bent on trying to win over the other. I disarmed her yet again, but she still won't quite despite the signs of her fatigue. I dropped my sword and raised my fist. We stared each other down, then sprinted. We traded punches with each other, and she kept going at it. It was a hassle considering she still had her claws and was always trying to scratch me. We jumped away from each other, both of us out of breath and sore from our skirmish. We charged at each other once again. Right as we were about to clash she lunged forward and clawed at my torso, but I managed to grab one of her legs, and swing her down to the ground knocking the wind out of her then I stomp on her in the stomach twice. Just to make sure I got her I grabbed both of her legs, spun her around and then let go, making her roll harshly on the floor. I summoned my swords again as I walked up to her again. Before she could get up I kicked her in the stomach making her roll over on her back. I had my swords on both side of her neck.
I looked at her in the face, see knew she was beaten; she knew what came next. I looked up at the queen. "What are you doing, finish her! She showed no hesitation why should you?" She said. I looked back down at Celene, she was crying. I couldn't do it, not to her, I refused. "No! I will not kill her!" I yelled. I removed my blades from her neck. Celene looked at me in shock, so did the queen. "You dare to refuse my order, kill her now!" The queen asked. My anger boiled over at the queen. "I disarmed, and beaten her, that is enough to count as a win, I spared her life, therefore her life belongs to me! She is the captain of YOUR royal guards is she not! She is a strong, capable leader, your right hand, your best fighter! I will not take her life because you order me to, not for you, or anyone else! If you have a problem with that then come down here and take her life yourself, but I promise you I will protect her till the end." After my anger was sated, and realized what I just said, I just knew I was going to be in trouble. In any case I had to hold my resolve. Everyone was looking at the queen to see what she is going to do. She got up and walked away, at that moment, I just knew I messed up this time, dad always said my mouth was going to get me in a world of trouble, and dammed if he was right. Five minute later I see both the city guards the royal guards as well as the remaining two commanders all coming out everywhere in formation surrounding me. Then I saw the queen herself show up. "Before I do anything let me ask you, do you stand by what you just said?" "Y-Yes! Yes, I do!" at this point, Celene was up and standing. The queen looked at me coldly and said, "Then you are free to go." I was confused as hell. "What?" The queen smiled, "I said you are free to go.
