Thalia leaned against a wall once they had entered the throne room. She crossed her arms as she watched Serai and Cildur speak. She really didn’t pay attention to the fight as she assumed Locien was going to win. Thalia looked at the scab on her forearm, she was glad her cut was healing fast. Though her eyes flew to the door when she heard banging. She took out her sword slowly, but she froze and dropped it when she saw the demon. As it charged towards her and her siblings she got ready to strike it with a ball of lightening in her, but then Locien tackled it.

Why did Locien tackle it? I can’t strike it now, as he can get hurt. That idiot… She swallowed hard as she watched Locien and the demon interact. Oh, Locien eyes are glowing again… Thalia did actually feel annoyance when she couldn’t make out what they were saying. Her eyes filled with surprise when she witnessed Locien grab the demon’s throat. She carefully watched him when the amulet stopped glowing. Worry began to sink in when he said he forfeit and that he had things to think about. Her eyes landed on Serai in annoyance when she spoke and stuck the ground in front of the Queen with the lightening ball she had formed earlier.

“His name is Locien and he is our friend who just saved us from a demon. We didn’t hire anyone as a bodyguard. You shouldn't categorize elves,” she said curtly before she grabbed her sword and left the throne room. She turned her head to look at her siblings before the doors closed. “Don’t follow me please,” she added just as the doors shut. Her siblings had looked shocked, but she didn’t think about it at the moment. When outside of the palace she looked around. Locien was nowhere to be seen. A sigh of frustration escaped her lips.

Where could he have gone? I hope he is all right. Did he really need to run off like that? He must not be okay. Thalia went back to the inn. She leaned against the entrance as she took in her surroundings. Locien would need to return to the inn eventually. Thalia glanced up at the gray clouds that were beginning to fill the sky. Her skin felt tingly. She knew there would be a thunderstorm that day. Just great, I am going to need to find a cave or something underground... She put her sword in its sheath, entered the inn, and looked at the innkeeper.

“Please tell my siblings I went out for the night and that I should be back tomorrow morning. Also, you may tell them they can just leave a note to tell me where they are going if they have to leave before I return,” she said. When the innkeeper nodded she gave him a forced smile before she left the inn. She quickly walked behind the inn and across the meadow. She didn’t even notice Locien leaning against a tree there as her worries took hold of her mind. Suddenly she quickened her pace as she ran towards and then into the woods.
