Ebony furrows her brow, contemplating. "He should be good to leave, but is it even safe for anyone to leave yet?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Miri winces as she walks through puddles upon puddles of blood, both a deep red and silvery (for the faerries and nymphs have blood of silver) mixing together in a grostequely beautiful masterpiece. Kneeling down to pick up a pink-skinned pixie with blonde hair, a rustle sounds somewhere near the woods. Frowning deeply, she looks up quickly. Nothing is to be seen. Not quite satisfies, she gets to her feet, drawing out her dagger and her face growing aggressive. "Show yourself," she demands harshly, staring into the wooded depths. Not a sound is to be heard as the heavy wind tousles her hair this way and that. Beginning to back away slowly, Miri is barely aware as an arrow comes flying out of the woods, grazing her leg before pinning her dress to a tree. Startled, Miri tugs at the torn material(ugh, she ruins all of Ebony's dresses!), blood flowing free and puddling around her. A familiar figure hurries out of the woods. Eyes widening, Miri throws her dagger.... But Jason had always seen her practice, and he dodges it with ease. "What do you want, Traitor?" she asks sourly, voice kept even. To her surprise, Jason's eyes are sad as he takes her one hand. "You wouldn't accuse me of betrayal if you knew, Belle. And don't ask about it." To Miribelle's utter shock, he removes her telepathy ring, shoving it in his pocket. "You two can come take it from here," he calls into the woods. "She can't contact him." And Julian and Markus seperate themselves from the shadows, the former lowering a bow steadily, eyes shooting daggers. "Good job, Brother," Markus calls out, clearly amused. "Master will be pleased, indeed." Jason adverts his gaze, but nods slightly in the direction of his twin as the latter binds Miri's wrists, placing a gag securely over her mouth. He kicks her. "Just follow me. And don't worry. Jason will be watching you from behind. Julian!" The other girl, who had been petting Jason's arm while he stood looking uncomfortable, looks up with a start. Markus takes Miri's circlet and tosses it to his partner. "Take this to the palace tonight with the message we arranged. They won't be getting their queen back anytime soon."
