[ 89] Scorn: Assassination! Mon Jan 28 20:48:01 2002 To: all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smoke and ash filled the air from the Royal family's chambers. As the guards broke their way into the inferno no one was found. No charred remains, no stench of death and no screams were heard. It was puzzling. "Search the Palace, they must be somewhere. The King and Queen MUST be found." The Guard was very concerned. The palace was ablaze yet the people he swore his life to protect were nowhere to be found. With haste, he made his way through each room. His heart sank with every empty room. "Kidnapped perhaps?" He thought to himself. As he strolled through the courtyard he came upon a large crowd. "What is going on here?" The guard shouted. He looked up and then without being able to breathe, he dropped helplessly to his knees. On top of the Cities gates were strung two bodies, both with multiple arrows stuck in them. King Andelas and Queen Azhiraz had been assassinated, and Verminasia was in shock. |
