What a fool Chris was. He knew that Sekivar had been the true threat to the city, but he also knew he would be the one responsible for Marenda's as well so he hesitated and wait for an opportunity to strike a single death blow to him. He waited to long however he was not strong enough to deal a decisive blow against either him or Zaleth, to slow to prevent the snake from completing his objective and to stupid to realize he himself would be the cause of his beloveds death. To see both Marenda and Zaleth lurching towards them was a sight that gave him miked emotions, no matter how much Zaleth had done wrong, no matter how much Chris' anger seethed at his actions, he was a good man once a proud man his soul deserved rest and yet his body was being used by the damned reptile. And Victiara, what was he to feel despair, sadness, self loathing? Fate were truly cruel not only was the prediction of the choice of her life or the cities rapidly approaching, but it was his own doing that caused there to be such a choice in the first place.

Raine and Nathaniel brought him back to reality, they still helped him even though the situation was more dangerous now than it ever was. 'Father was right, who was I to cast the loyalties of these two aside.' "Thank you Raine, Nathan. I could not have asked for better companions." The two were trying their hardest in a fight that did not concern them at all past this point, it didn't and yet they still would follow him into further danger. Without reserve Chris accepted Nathans full help. "Then please excuse be for the burden." They tried to run from the castle with all due haste trying to avoid a confrontation with Zaleth's body and more importantly Victiara's unwilling attacks.
