When Rome's in ruins, we are the lions

Free of the coliseums

In poison places, we are anti-venom

We're the beginning of the end

Emily knocked on the door to Duncan's study, holding her breath. Anna placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and when they heard a "Come in," they entered the study.

Emily stood back, allowing Elsa and Anna to take a seat, but not exiting the room. The gesture wasn't threating, it was just Emily standing by her friends. Elsa and Duncan bowed at each other for a moment before getting to business.

"My Lord." Elsa said, straitening.

"My Lady." Duncan replied, also straitening. "My scribes and diplomats have created a draft of the peace treaty you have requested." Elsa nodded, thin lipped.

Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds

It's all over now before it has begun

We've already won

We are wild, we are like young volcanoes

We are wild, Americana, exotica

Do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?

Yeah!

Hours passed by slowly for the people in the room. Finally, Elsa stood.

"I will sleep on it and get back to you in the morning." Duncan nodded.

"Of course." He looked at Emily. "Please show them back to their quarters."

Emily led the way out. They were halfway to Elsa and Anna's quarters when Anna said-

"Let's go to Redmont."
