Cedric wanders off without even apologizing. Vathek: Who's he think he is, treating people of lower rank like vermin...?He goes off in the opposite direction.

What do we do now? Follow Elyon or go and find Caleb?"
"Um...I think we should find Caleb."
Taranee was not suprised at all by Conelia's response.

*Will rolled her eyes slightly, but knew that Cornelia was right*
"Yeah, that's what we came all this way for. We need to make sure that he's alright and that Phobos didn't go back on his word"

Hay Lin had opened her eyes again to follow the group, and now she couldn't help sighing in exasperation. "You mean how he said this was a day of peace where no one would get hurt? The bodies back there would probably beg to disagree, if they weren't, you know, dead and stuff." She lifted one slender shoulder in an awkward gesture, her sentence having become more of a train wreck than anything else by the end. But her point was valid. They'd been in that awful and strange party being yelled at by guards while rebels were being killed. Maybe that 'Larvek' thing had killed them? That didn't matter though, the 'day of peace' hadn't happened. So why there was any question of the evil prince having gone back on his word was confusing her. Unless there'd been something separate about Caleb. She tried to pull passing breezes down to listen to the sounds they carried while the five of them were briefly discussing their situation, but got nothing but footsteps and the general sounds of movement for her nervous efforts.

The eyes of the dark prince are closed & he seems to be unconsious. "Phobos?" The princess asked after having calmed down for a bit... "Phobos, wake up!" She looked over her shoulder, at the hole in the wall Cedric went through... She'd be willing to do as she was told, if Phobos would wake up and come with her... Not because she felt she needed his guidance or protection, but because she absolutely didn't want to leave him behind in such a vulnerable position... Not after Jarod gave the rebellion reasons to draw their weapons too... "Phobos!!" she said again, this time much louder... If he wouldn't wake, Elyon would have to use more drastic measures...

Considering how hard Phobos hit his head, he is in a deep slumber. As such, he does not respond. The princess would have better luck talking to a rock.

"Wake up!!!" Elyon yelled once more, slapping Phobos across the face with an open hand... But without success...
The princess stopped trying, and st down next to her brother's body... The people in the ballroom wouldn't mind her being gone for just a minute longer, right?
Just then, she actually noticed the brown-haired boy Jarod was after... Who is he? Is he one of Phobos' soldiers? He looked much cuter than most of the military around here... Elyon quickly turned her head the other way... Even so, this boy couldn't hope to hold a candle against the handsome face of the militia's leader, Cedric...

[Enter: Cedric and Miranda from the Servants' Corner]
Ducking through the hole with Miranda still on his shoulder, he jumped. Startled at the sight of Elyon, he said, "Elyon, what are you still doing out here--"
Phobos's body lying on the floor clearly answered his question. "Phobos!!!"
He shrugged his right shoulder and looked desparately at Miranda. "Maybe you should transform back?"

A red hand-print appears on the dark prince where Elyon slapped him, but he remains unconscious.
Lord Cedric enters through the hole. The hawk seems tense, even a little nervous, as they enter.
Lord Cedric: "Phobos!!!"
Still no response...
Lord Cedric: "Maybe you should transform back?"
The hawk doesn't respond. Instead, she begins to clean her feathers with her beak.

"Yeah," Will answered. "But he himself didn't kill them, and unless we find out that it was done under his orders, we can't exactly-"
*Will cut off as they rounded the corner and happened upon a strange scene in which Elyon looked like an anxious wreck, Cedric was standing in the middle and talking to a bird, and both Caleb and Phobos were apparently unconscious on the floor*
There are absolutely no words to describe this
"Oh my..." Will stuttered with wide eyes

"What is i..." Irma managed to get out before she got silent as a mouse. She just stared at the scene they all were watching.

Upon seeing the guardians enter, the hawk makes a bird cry as it takes off & swoops at Irma's head.

Irma drops down on the floor, trying to avoid the hawk. She tries to surpress her scream, but some sounds still left her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Cedric..." Elyon started "But I couldn't just leave him here like this..." Suddenly she noticed the hawk fly away... "D-Did you bring a wild bird in here?"

No longer concerned about the fallen servant, the hawk flies on. She turns a corner is out of sight. _____________ She flies up near the ceiling so that she isn't seen by the little servants that still remain in the halls. When she is in an area without prying eyes that is close enough to the ballroom, she lands behind a pillar & transforms back into Miranda. She runs the rest of the way until she reaches the scene at the ballroom. Miranda: "The elite soldier has been banished from the castle for his treason." Rebel C: "Hmph! As if he wasn't merely following Phobos' orders..." Miranda: "Although I am truly sorry for your loss, I will not tolerate any disrespect for our host. You will keep such remarks to yourself or you will be sent on a one-way-trip to the dungeons." *crosses her arms & glares at him* "Do I make myself clear?" Rebel C: "..." *nods* Miranda: "Good, now I shall arrange for these corpses to be taken out for their burial. Rebel E: "W-wha...? What did you just say?" Miranda: "I cannot allow them to remain here to rot. If you'd like to send someone to accompany the soldiers, then choose him now. I don't have all day." Rebel G: "I'll go." Miranda gives a few orders. Soldiers come & place the corpses on cloth sheets, then carry them away. Rebel G goes with them. Servants clean up the mess that remains on the floor with soapy water. Once Miranda is satisfied with the results, she dismisses the servants to do their other duties, then escorts the rebels into the ballroom. [Miranda & Rebels: Exit to Castle Ballroom]
