Snippet #2109835

Nicholas sighed. He had to do this for her, if not him who would get her out of such a terrible situation. The kingdom would not be able to survive under an evil ruler. "I'll do it." Terrance's smile grew at Nicholas' response and a feather with an ink bottle appeared in mid air next to the young man. Terrance nodded to the scroll that unfolded before their eyes and had two lines for the men's signatures. The young merchant took up the feather, dipped it in the ink, and then signed the bottom of the scroll. Terrance stood and repeated Nicholas' actions.

"I'll see you both tomorrow." Terrance smirked. "Enjoy the night." And with a slight 'pop' Terrance was gone, the light returned to the room and the two were able to speak to one another.

Nicholas went to Celena immediately and knelt before her. "What happen..." Nich asked. "We were in the ball room and you just vanished. I thought I had finally lost to that tyrant." He took her hands in his own. "I promise I won't let him win, I'm the best archer in the kingdom." He smiled.
