Heirot

Elena smiled slightly at his compliment as she stood up and moved back to her chair. "I can't believe Airen has a brother... and he doesn't know..."

Elena wished she could see Airen... She wished she could feel his arms around her again. She wished he was there with her.

"You look sad, Lady Elena..." Forcroff said a bit uncomfortably.

Elena looked up, her eyes a bit misty. "I just miss Airen..."

Damien walked down the dark hallway. He stopped short of a huge figure. It was at least 7' tall.

"It's time to bring her home, Seryth," he told the demon.

Seryth bowed and walked passed Damien. He walked down the halls shaking the ground beneath him. There was no sneaking with him. When he reached the door he stopped...

Elena was crawling in her bed. She figured if she was going to stay in the room for the rest of her life she could get some sleep.

She laid down on her back for a moment, then rolled over on her side as the bed began to shake.

"What is that..." she asked, the floor shaking as well. She sat up, the sleeve to her silk nightgown falling off her shoulder. "Forcroff? What is it..."

Seryth pushed the door open. His huge bulking body filled the doorway. He stepped into the light and towered over Frocroff. Forcroff crossed his arm and bowed. Seryth returned the gesture.

"It is time to take her home," Seryth said in a deep hollow voice.

Elena's eyes widened in horror at the sight of the monsterous demon in her door way. Her mouth open as she sucked in air quickly.

"By the Gods..." she had never in her life seen a demon so hidious or frightening.

She scooted back across her bed until she was in the middle, as far away from the edges as she could get.

"Take me where?" she asked, pulling the sleeve of her silk nightgown back up, but it fell of her shoulder again.

Strands of curly blond hair fell in front of her frightened violet eyes as she watched the monster in terrorfied awe.

Forcroff turned and began to walk towards Elena. "Lady Elena, please come with me..."

"No... I don't want to go near it..." she said softly.

"Lady Elena you are coming."

"No I'm not!" Forcoff reached out for her, but she moved away. "Please don't make me..."

"Don't fight this, Lady Elena." Elena knew there wasn't anyway she would get away from them. She'd rather Forcroff handle her than that thing. Forcroff picked her up off the bed and began to walk towards Seryth. He noticed her breath quickening as they grew closer to Seryth's monsterous form.

"Where are you taking me..."

"Home."

"I thought you said you were to protect me," Elena said.

"We are going to portect you," Forcroff told her. "We are ready to leave."

Seryth led the way down the streets of Arroes. Demon's and madmen bowed down to the three of them as they made their way passed them.

They came across one man who didn't bow. He seemed lost and didn't seem to know what was going on. Seryth walked up to him. He towered over the man and glared down at him.

"Bow down to your lord..." He demanded hoarsely, "Or face the consequences..."

The man was shaking and quivering under Seryth's evil stare. He fell to his knees with tears of fear running down his face.

"Forcroff I can walk..." Elena said, feeling strange being carried and having so many people look at her.

"If you run..."

"I won't I have no where to go..." Elena said sadly.

Forcroff thought for a moment and then stopped, setting her gently on the ground.

"Bow down to your lord..." He demanded hoarsely, "Or face the consequences..."

The man was shaking and quivering under Seryth's evil stare. He fell to his knees with tears of fear running down his face.

Elena looked over at the poor trembling man on the gruond and she walked over to him as soon as creepy Seryth moved out of the way.

"It's okay..." she said and went to help the man up from the ground. "You don't have to bow to him, he's just a big bully."

"It's okay..." she said and went to help the man up from the ground. "You don't have to bow to him, he's just a big bully."

Seryth heard these words and stopped in his tracks. He turned around to her helping the man up. He ran with great strides to where the man stood.

He raised his hands and a great sword appeared in his hands. He sliced the man while Elena held him up. She was left with only the man's upper torso and head.

Elena stared off into space almost, as if nothing really registered. Then she blinked and shut her eyes tightly. She screamed. Blood was splattered all over her. She screamed again when she looked at her hands that were red and warm and sticky.

Elena felt suddenly naseaus and her head began to spin. Forcroff lifted her up in his four arms and began to carry the stunned young woman.

Seryth threw his sword into the air and it vanished into the darkness. "I'd suggest you keep her under control," he demanded Forcroff.

Forcroff just looked at him and walked passed him.

Seryth's eyes glowed red, "You're going to pay for this disrespect." He growled under his breath.

Elena stared at her blood soaked hands in a sort of shocked state.

"I don't feel good..." she whispered.

Forcroff glanced down at her for a moment and then looked back up. "We will be there shortly."

Elena wiped her hands on her dress, smering blood all over herself.

The palace rose in the distance, and Seryth quickened his pace. He never liked Forcroff and couldn't wait for his chance to disperse of him.

"Come on," he told them as they lagged behind. He approached the front double doors and pushed them open.

The statue of Gargon had been rebuilt and in a much larger form. Worshipers surrounded it and bowed down before it.

"Welcome back, my dear Elena," a familiar voice greeted.

Elena blinked as Forcroff sat her down. She looked at the thrown and saw him there. She didn't believe he was there. He was supposed to be dead...

"Airis..."

She had blood splatted across her face and blood all over her silk nightgown and robe.

Elena froze, backing up against Forcroff, but she couldn't go anywhere. "I thought you said you were supposed to protect me!" she said and turned around. "He wants to kill me... He hates me..."

Forcroff looked at Airis and then back to Elena,"My master doesn't want to kill you..."

Seryth pushed Elena forward, "Get on your knees, bitch..." Forcroff steped forward and gruffed.

"Hahaha... easy now Seryth... We don't want our guest to be uncomfortable," Airis said with an evil smile.

Elena tripped and stumbled still dizzy and naseaus, she hit her knees rather hard by accident, not maning to actually bow.

"He wanted to kill me because I stole his son from him... But, I couldn't help he fell in love with me... Forcroff he'll kill me!"

Forcroff didn't think his master would kill her. He went to her side and helped her up because he didn't need her getting a cold and the baby might get sick as well.

"Why am I here, though? Is it to get back at Airen. Gargon tried..."
