"This might be a new chance for the world", said Ran to Raini as they exited the council chambers. "Not only might we stand a chance to survive whatever is coming for us, but we also have the possibility to sow the seeds of a brighter future with Evelyne as queen."

"I am glad you are with me by the way", said Myrdana to Mongo. "I don't think I mentioned that before. I know that we Beast Slayers are supposed to be independent if need be, but the truth is... I hate to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I'd rather face a hundred Beasts with another Beast Slayer, than having to be just about anywhere all by myself."

Falana motioned for Nyx to follow her as she headed out to the snow-covered battlements and parapets. Along the walls of the ancient fortress stood gigantic siege machines in the shape of ballistae. The force of a single impact from one of the projectiles would be enough to completely knock a Beast off the the mountain and have it tumbling down to its death.

"Nyx, tell me honestly", said Falana as they wandered. "Do you... do you think we can win this?"

Evelyne merely nodded to Ja'Keil. "Just... a lot to take in. I don't know what to do, what to say, what to think. I don't want to let anyone down, yet now we have an amassing horde of Beasts heading our way, followed by the remnants of the Imperial Legion to perform a culling in their wake."

She shook her head anxiously, feeling tears stirring. "N-no, Jak. I am not okay."

As they reached Evelyne's chambers she sank down onto the bed, sniffing and wiping her tears off onto her sleeve, clearly her emotions were getting the better of her.

Hildi could very easily see that and gave Jared a nod with her head, implying that it would be better if they left Ja'Keil and Evelyne alone.

Swift met up with Athorian in the barracks, stretching his reptile back as he started to sort through his equipment chest by the foot end of his bed. "Ay, ay, ay..." he sighed. "Things are looking grim, eh? If we fuck this up..." The Argonian shrugged. "Boy, if we fuck up... we are basically serving what's left of our world onto a platter of total extinction. Looking back at when I was blubbering like a bitch on the headsman's block... had I known what would happen it might..."

He made a short pause. It wasn't very often one could see through Swift-in-the-Sack's otherwise offensive personality, but every once in a while, he came through as genuine. This was indeed one of those moments.

"I am just saying... the headsman's block... might not have been a bad place to... retire..."

Has-Many-Teeth was preoccupied with chasing  her   rats, however they all seemed to slip out of her hands, as usual.
