A/n: WOW I've gotten a lot of reviews. I'm so happy! J . But like I said, I am sort of playing this by ear, so if you have any ideas for the story, tell me!!

As George was seating Jon and getting him a cup of tea, the messenger arrived at the gate. One look at his face told the guards that the news was not good. He was lead into the dining area. When the courier noticed the presence of the King, he bowed and started babbling his apologies. Jon laid a soothing hand on his shoulder.
"What have you got for me?" George asked calmly.
"News from the heart of Scanra, milord. Regarding the Lioness.
Jon stiffened. George's mouth grew tight. "May I have the letter?" the Baron said.
The messenger nodded and handed George a piece of rolled parchment. He opened it with trembling fingers.
Dear Baron George of Pirates Swoop,
Unfortunately I have bad news. Your wife has been gravely injured by an unknown source. She stumbled upon my threshold two days past. I'm afraid she may not make it through the night. We are trying to do all we can to find those who did this to her, but so far our efforts are fruitless. If our healer sees it fit, we will transport her to you as soon as possible. All I know is that whoever it was that attacked her, it also would have gotten an entire village. She was again doing a noble deed. She has asked many times that I tell the King that she is sorry, and she will miss all of you. I hope this letter finds you in good health.
Sincerely yours, Baron Ferdand of Lambrook
George paled and handed the letter to Jon. After Jon read it, guilt consumed him. She wants to say sorry to me? It was my fault. My fault…
a/n: sorry, this chapter wasn't as good. I was sort of stuck. And don't worry, "the healer will see it fit that she can be transported to the swoop", so she wont die, not yet anyway (I'm not saying she will for sure)
