Nalu pulled out another dagger, stepping closer to the Queen.
Clarion didn't notice it. She was blinded by her sorrow.
Nalu raised his hand with a dagger.
"Stop!"
Nori stopped his hand.
"What are you doing?" Nalu asked angrily.
"I will not let you do this." Nori stood still and firm.
"You cannot stop me." Nalu freed his hand.
The dagger, he was holding, grazed Nori's shoulder. "Ah!" Nori grabbed her shoulder.
Nalu leaned closer to her. "You will never be Queen." he said and raised his dagger.
"And you will never be King." Nori replied and pushed Nalu away.
The evil sparrow-man fell on the floor and his dagger struck him.
Nori disregarded it and put her hand on her shoulder. Next moment, her wound was gone.
"How did you do that?" Clarion asked.
Nori kneed beside her and Milori.
"A little healing magic." she answered.
Nori took Clarion's hand but the Queen quickly pulled it back.
"Trust me." Nori said "I want to help."
She took the Queen's hand again. This time she stayed calm.
Nori put Clarion's hand on Milori's bloody chest.
