Part 2: Passion of a Broken Heart

"What the hell is he thinking!" Leo boomed as he, Salome and Roland went over the resignation letter Percival had left behind with his armor on the conference room table.

"I do not know." Salome muttered quietly as he looked over to Chris. She sat motionless on the couch in front of the table. Still dressed in her nightshirt she sat there rigidly her violet eyes staring blankly into space. The only movement she made was her hands trembling as they loosely grasped a handkerchief that Salome had given her to wipe away her tears. However she didn't wipe them away nor do much of anything else.

Chris was standing on the large stone bridge staring blankly towards the gate when they found her. One of the guards on duty had seen her on the way to his watch and rushed to get the other knights. Out the hurried to her side dressed in full battle armor, ready for battle. The guard's only words to them were "Its Lady Chris." Worried beyond belief the got ready to protect their Lady from the harm that had befallen her. Yet they only found a stunned Lady Chris staring into space as if searching for something with tears cascading down her cheeks. They had desperately tried to coax her to tell them what was wrong but failed. Finally they gave up and led her by her hand to the conference room upstairs where they sat her down.

Borus, now before her on bent knee, looked up at her with sympathetic eyes at his distraught captain. He wanted so desperately to grab her and hold her in his arms, comforting her, but her resisted hiding his feeling behind a mask of concern. "Damn Percival! How dare he do this to Lady Chris!" he vehemently cursed as he watched even more tears trace the outline of her delicate jaw.

"We don't know what he did to Lady Chris, Borus. Nor does it seem we are able to ask her." Roland countered softly shaking his head at the state Chris was in.

Borus stood from where he was and advanced upon the tall elf. "I know what he did, Roland. He decided since that he was leaving he decided to make one more problem for us like he always does. And like always he evolved Lady Chris like that time he kidnapped her and stole her away to the indecent village! I bet he's laughing this up right now!" the blonde knight snapped his cheeks flushing with his trade mark rage.

"He said you've won…" Chris suddenly whispered even though her eyes were still staring blankly into space.

"What?" Borus asked as he hurried over to her side. "He said…"

"You've won." She finished finally seeing him as she looked up into his face.

His face contorting with unrestrained fury he whipped back to the purple haired elf, "See! I told you this was a game of his!"

"Borus…" Chris breathed.

"That inconsiderate bastard! All he ever thinks about is himself!"

"Borus…" Chris said a little louder.

"He didn't even care what it did to Lady Chris!" he yelled his fury fully engulfing him.

"Borus." Heat strained Chris's voice.

"I'm glad he's gone, now…" then in one swift and smooth movement Chris stood up from the couch and slapped Borus across his face. Wheeling form the shock of the sudden blow Borus staggered back and stared with wide eyes at Chris.

Leo, Roland and Salome could only watch with mouths agape in utter surprise as Chris closed in upon on Borus. "Don't you ever, ever say that!" she forced those fierce words through her clenched teeth the rage which once enveloped Borus now consuming her. "It is because of that, that Percival left. He said that he couldn't live like this anymore, as a knight! So now he's gone. I have no idea what he meant by you've won, but let me tell you this Borus, he didn't play a game last night. He called me down to say goodbye and he didn't wait to dawn so that none of you all would stop him. Even though it hurt him he left and it was because of crap like this and I don't blame him one bit!" She shouted at him throwing all her pent up emotions at him. Without so much as another word Chris spun on her heel and left the presence of the stunned knights.

Stiffly she walked to her room not allowing anyone to see her in her current state, but as soon as she stepped into her room she let her tears fall once more. She walked from the study to her bedchambers grasping the walls for support. Chris fell upon her bed and sobbed deeply into her soft pillow.

Her apprentice, Louis, who was unaware of what, had transpired that morning stared at her in absolute surprise. He had spent the morning dusting her room thinking her absence was due to morning rounds. He stood there confused, his hand in the middle of a sweep. Never had he known her to act like that. "Lady Chris?" he queried quietly standing next to her bed but got no response.

Running his small, gloved hand trough his short dirty brown hair. Louis could only stare at her desperately wanting to help her. Then he remembered something his mother would do at times like these. Hesitating a little he sat next to her and began to stoke her long unbound sliver hair. Slowly sitting up Chris looked questioning at Louis who blushed in embarrassment and pleasure. "Louis?" she asked hoarsely the weight of tears straining her voice.

Louis smiled sheepishly at her "Umm…Lady Chris, I was just…my mother used to…I thought…"

Chris giving him a soft look of compassion pulled him into a hug. "Thank you Louis." she brokenly whispered in his ear. She took strength and solace in his comforting embrace. She needed this for it seemed to her that her whole world was crashing down around her. Percival had left and in doing so had ripped a hole in what she considered a complete life as well as destroying every cool wall she had put up. Then she had slapped Borus and blamed her knights for Percival's leaving. Why was this happening to her? She had always carefully hidden away her emotions from everyone. Now she couldn't stop it. Maybe Percival's leaving had just released the dam that led to where she was now. She now felt alone and weak, just like when she was a child. There she sat, like a child, holding Louis for solace and comfort.

Chris sat there, her head on Louis' shoulder as he continued to lovingly stroke her hair. There in Louis' affectionate embrace she felt sheltered and warm. Her last thoughts as she drifted off to sleep were that she felt the same way with Percival.
