"What am I doing here, this is absurd, I should just leave and not look back," Liz said to herself standing outside of Lord Kivar's drawing room.
"Lady Elizabeth, Lord Kivar will see you know," a well dressed servant said leading Liz into the huge room.
It was obvious that Kivar was well off. The room was decorated in a royal blue and had gold figurines everywhere. In front of her was a tall man next to a shorter one, probably his assistant. "Well, Well Lady Elizabeth, to what do I owe this honor." Kivar asked rising to meet her.
"Actually, I think I have changed my mind, I don't think I will need your help after all." Liz said as she turned to walk away.
"I don't think so, it would be very unwise of you to have wasted my time, you came here and now you will tell me why?" Kivar shouted.
Liz frightened turned around to face him, "I came to see if you could help me get Zan back and teach Ava a lesson, I know that you are not their favorite person."
"Oh, so you want me to help you destroy the love of Zan's life so you can pick up the pieces of his broken heart, okay I can do that, on one condition." Kivar replied.
"And that would be," Liz asked hesitantly.
"You help me get the throne." Kivar replied with a sneer.
Liz looked at him shocked, "You want me to help you overthrow Zan, absolutely not, I won't do that." Liz said forcefully.
"Well then I guess I will have to do it on my own, and you will just have to live without your precious Zan." Kivar replied sinisterly.
"Okay, fine, I will help you, as long as you promise Zan won't be hurt." Liz said.
Kivar walked over and stood in front of Elizabeth, "You my dear, have a deal." Kivar and Liz then shook hands. "I will contact you when I am ready for you, until then don't become a bother to Zan just make sure he realizes you are around just not too around."
"Okay, I will await for further directions, until then, Kivar." Elizabeth said and walked out with a sly smile on her lips. "Soon Zan, very soon you will be mine."

Ava woke up startled, sweat dripped from her face. She took a few deep breathes and slowly rose and headed out to her balcony. Ava hadn't received premonitions in such a long time, now all of sudden she got one and it was horrible. Everything inside of her told her trouble was on the way.
"But from where...", she asked to herself. Ava walked out onto her balcony, the cold air a fresh relief. She turned to look towards the palace. Lights were on all over the place, she smiled.
"No rest for the weary," she replied. For the first time in 4 years Ava felt completely at peace, until just now.
"I have waited for a long time to find peace with Zan and no one will destroy our happiness, no one," Ava vowed.
