Chapter 4: Reactions


'Six months! You can't be serious!'

Nawat gazed helplessly at his wife as she vented her anger. Aly slowed down and turned to him, and Nawat could see that her eyes were filling up with tears.

'I only just got you back, and now you have to leave again. For six months!'

Nawat pulled her into an embrace and they stood there for what could have been minutes, for what could have been hours.


Kyprioth watched in delight as one of his subjects i.e. crooks managed to get away after robbing a woman of her diamond necklace. It was nice to know that there was still some skill in the world…

Kyprioth was torn away by a ripping pain in his chest. Moving his hand hurriedly, an image of Aly came up talking to Nawat. She was crying and he caught the end of the conversation. Watching the picture, he forced himself to separate himself from the pain, and slowly it died down. It was only recently that he found out about his connection with Aly. If she was in pain, he would feel it as if it was his own. Who did this, he didn't know, but he was going to find out!

Kyprioth straightened and slowly the corners of his lips turned up, his expression turning into a smile and then into a fully-fledged grin.

Perfect! Absolutely perfect! A laugh bubbled from his throat. He threw back his head and laughed loudly. Now that that no-good crow was out of the way, Kyprioth could put the next phase of his plan into action.


Sarai was contemplating. She was watching over the sea in front of her, as the boat swiftly sailed forward towards their destination of Rajumut. Hearing a child's low giggle, she mind brought her back to the present. She prepared herself and-

'Ha!'

Clutching a hand to her heart, Sarai made her eyes wide and turned to her child.

'Mequen! You scared me!'

'I know, mum!' He giggled, 'Daddy's calling you. He said that you gotta come to eat.'

'Well tell your father that I don't want to eat; I'm not hungry at the moment.'

'Is that so?' Sarai and Mequen turned to the formidable character standing above them. The child laughed again and ran off, as the large man in front of them nodded towards him.

Zaimid let his arms drop from the pose that they were in and sighed. He brought his wife into his arms and kissed her. No words needed to be said. They both knew how she felt. He was a comfort to her. And he would always be there for her.


Aly seethed as she watched her husband fly away; tears rolling down her face. To her far right stood Her Majesty, Dovasary of the Kypriang Isles Turning on her heel, the infuriated woman stormed to the practice courts. Dove saw her, noticed her reaction and followed swiftly, hoping to make amends.

'Aly! Aly…please stop. Listen to me please.'

She followed Aly all the way to the courts. Not once did Aly acknowledge the fact that she had the Queen running after her. Upon reaching the courts, Aly turned on Dove causing her to stop abruptly and almost stumble.

'Why should I listen to you after what you did? You knew that I couldn't wait to have him back and you…argh!'

'Aly, please listen to me! I had no choice. Nawat's the only one I can trust with something this big! Please understand…'

Dove didn't receive an answer. She watched as her Spymaster and beloved friend turned away from her and began attacking a dummy with intense force. Dove took a deep breath and decided to leave her to cool down. She turned and headed to her bedroom to lie down; she felt a headache coming on.

Dove watched the sun set slowly and sighed. Oh Aly. Please don't do this to me, not when I need you most. I can't face Sarai alone! She turned away from the window and went to lie down on her bed. She couldn't take much more of this. Too much was going on, and she couldn't keep lying to her best friend; especially when she wasn't talking to her.

And for the first time since her father's death, Queen Dovasary cried herself to sleep.
