After Xander finished his porridge which was surprisingly good, he went to the stream to get fresh water and to wash. He went over to check on his horse. Snow, named after her fantastic colour.

"I guess i kind of know. He called me Lady, and i saw the way he looked at me. I seriously don't think i'm THAT pretty." She said, laughing. She went off to the other end of the stream to untie her hair, cut a little bit off, and make it look glossy. "When we go back, can i check on Rue? She's my Horse - And if anything happened to her i'd be inconsolable. Oh, and today's the big day! We get to kill the Jarl!" She shouted, sure that nobody could hear her other than the two.
"The jarl's life or ours." Zane said looking into Sumi's eyes. Zane soon stopped looking at Sumi knowing that she was angry at him, Women, by the time I understand them, the world won't exist anymore Zane silently said to himself. Xander came back and so did Sumi "So, I'm ready to go when you guys are." Zane said leaning on a large rock beside Shadow.

Zane spent a couple minutes checking for everything, then he was finally ready. "Okay lets go." Zane said tapping Shadow's hips with his heels.
They group rode for about an hour and then they reached the boat floating down the river with barrels of wine on it. "We'll wait until they stop for a break then we will put a handfull of pellets in each barrel when they aren't looking." Zane said dismounting Shadow and helping Sumi down.
Sumi walked along, and put the hood of her cloak up - An for added effect, put a strange mask on. "What? Performers used to dress like this. It wasn't strange then. So this outfit makes me look like a performer. No suspicion." She grunted.
(( Note: Sumi will eventually change her fighting style and costume again.. And it's slightly.. Revealing. If you get what i'm saying. She prefers to change styles so nobody can recognise her. ))

"Come on! If we hurry we can get him before he wakes up!" She shouted, climbing back onto shadow.

In about ten minutes the group was in the city gates with the horses waiting outside. "Okay to the palace." Zane said.

Sumi ran into the palace and into the Jarls room. She was not greeted with a "Who are you?" Or "Why are you here?!"
She was greeted with the smell of a rotting corpse and a dead jarl lying before her.

Falling Zane said prayers to every god he knew about asking for life and if not life a quick and painless death, Zane hit the water with a huge SPLASH! he felt a huge pain in his left arm, he had hit the water with it first. Zane floated for a couple seconds the got out of the way for Sumi.
"Over there!" Zane shouted pointing towards an open window. "Jump." he shouted quickly before leaping from the window. This man is f***ing crazy Xander thought to himself before stepping upto the window and swan diving straight out. Hitting the water in perfect position. He swam to the bank.
She knew he was the killer. He had a blade with blood on it. She HAD to catch him.

She then rolled him over, breaking a bit of the ice. She punched him in the face, he was still breathing, amazingly.
Sumi stood up, enraged. "That was my kill, ass!"

Zane soon came out of the moat and ran in Sumi's direction though his arm felt like it was going through a wall of saws. Zane saw the man laying there covered in blood "Who are you?" Zane asked.
The man coughed "I'm Verza Phoenixgale." the man said. Zane dropped to his knees "Did you say "Phoenixgale"?" Zane asked, the man coughed again "Yes, why?" the man asked. Zane was now curious "Did your mother possibly die giving birth and your father before that?" Zane asked. The man nodded "your....your my... brother." Zane choked out half happy and half sad.

Sumi lifted Verza up, so that his head was on her knee. "Xander! We need healing magic! Now! I thinki i might have almost killed him!" Sumi was close to tears, thinking that she could have killed Zane's only living relative. "Verza, you need to try and not get too excited about meeting your brother. If you do, the blood will pump faster.." She whispered to him.
"And you will die from blood loss.."
Zane looked at his brother, he looked like himself. "Please help him." Zane pleaded to Xander.
"Verza.. Are you.. Alright?"
