--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharley woke with the biggest headache he'd ever experienced in his life. His head boomed from the reaction of the poison to his nervous system. He got up, swayed and fell on the floor, he looked around at his surroundings and he was in the medical infirmary of the citadel. His father had ordered it to be built this immediately after the first war with the Polypontain Empire. At first his mother had opposed the idea but Oskan had convinced her that they needed a medical centre close to the Royal Apartments and especially the Great Hall, where many slipups and accidents occurred. He got back up to his feet and glanced at place where he had slept there were bloodied bandages and medical instruments scattered around. He looked down at his chest and saw that he'd been the patient receiving the treatment, there were bandages wrapped around his shoulder and whole left side.
Sharley opened the door and was immediately faced with two guards, they gave him stony faced expressions and told him to "go back to bed prince" he turned back grudgingly and jumped back into bed. He stayed awake the whole day and his mother and father visited him in the evening. As Sharley heard footsteps approaching he closed his eyes and feigned sleep. His father entered first as only the whisper of footsteps could be heard, his mother entered second the bangs and tumbles of a warrior in full combat gear. They both approached his bed and began to whisper to each other.
"Is he alright, he's just sleeping right?" asked Thirrin worried
Oskan remained silent
"Yes...yes he's sleeping" he said after a while
"Good.......so it was the Polypontain who tried to kill him?" she asked quietly
"Yes from the werewolf relays and spy reports we have learned that the Empire gave the Giaians a hit squadron of archers with the sole intentions to take out any royals or generals from the Icemark" he explained
Thirrin thought about this quietly "why not musketeers?"
"For many reasons I believe first muskets are ineffective against shield walls their rounds just smash into the shields, secondly sending archers would make this act more inconspicuous as musketeers would easily be spotted as soldiers of the Empire, its fine dear the Empire is collapsing and they want revenge for you killing their best general, it will be over soon" Oskan explained this knowing his wife knew these facts, he just needed to be her voice and clear her head.
"I agree your right as always" she looked up at him with her green eyes and kissed him on the mouth, she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Im tired of war Oskan, all it is a waste of time" she said
Oskan gasped, genuinely shocked, how his warrior queen could speak so of the art she had been born to love he didn't know.
Sharley laid in his bed still pretending to sleep, so he thought to himself it was the Empire who tried to kill him....know he knew who to take his revenge against. But in the mean time he was still worried about his mother she seemed different she never normally complained of war. In fact normally she would have fun and even laugh in combat it was as Oskan said....she was a warrior queen and she was born to fight...
