[Enter: Elyon from the throne hall]
Elyon hardly got into the hallways, and already she's witness to a horrifying scene... A soldier... No wait... The soldier from before, Jarod, was busy mindlessly flailing his weapon around, attempting to kill and injure anything around him... For a moment, she was frozen in fear, but once she saw how Jarod, in his rage, put even his master and her brother in danger, she stepped forward, nearly flying into blind rage herself...
"STOP IT!!!" Elyon demanded, thrusting her hand in the soldier's direction and releasing a wave of her power, not knowing what would happen... As long as the soldier would stop, she didn't care what happened either...
Suddenly, Jarod got slammed into a wall and his body lost the ability to move. The halls finally calmed down for a bit... Except for Elyon herself, whom continued to hold down Jarod in his state of paralysis, with her eyes glowing a pure red colour to indicate her doing so...

Phobos: "Ellie...?" What's with her eyes? It's almost as if they've become crimson.He pushes Caleb's slightly stunned form off of him, then goes to kneel next to his sister & hugs her as he looks at her with concerned eyes. Phobos: "Ellie, are you alright?"Caleb: "You can quit pretending, Phobos. You're not fooling anyone. Everyone already knows she means nothing to you." Phobos: *glares at Caleb* "How dare you speak such lies! Ellie is the Light of Meridian, my sister. I love..."Caleb: "You? Love? As if..." Phobos: "For a rebel leader, you seem to be lacking in manners. I invited you tonight's ball so we could find a peaceful solution to our problems. And you..."Caleb: "Peaceful?" *stands up full of rage* "You call sending your elite soldier to hack my men into pieces, peaceful?" Phobos: "I did no such thing. Todays is a day of peace. I would never..."Caleb: "Bullsh*t! You told him to do it, & you know it!" Phobos: "Why would I order my own assassination?"Caleb: "Because..." *thinks for a few seconds* "You have mental issues!" Phobos:

"QUIET!" Elyon demanded again, as Phobos and Caleb started argueing. Without taking her gaze off the paralyzed soldier, she thrust her hand in their direction, slamming them into the wall as well. Obviously, her aim was a bit off, since not only Caleb, but also Phobos himself got blasted away. "I just want to know one thing!!" she continued, adressing Jarod specifically... "What.were.you.thinking!?"

Both Caleb & Phobos get knocked into walls, then fall to the ground, unconscious. __________ Jarod: "..."
His paralysis seems to prevent his mouth from moving.

"ANSWER ME!" Elyon demanded again. In her own anger, she hadn't even noticed that it was herself that prevented the soldier from speaking. "Why would you ruin all the hard work that's been put into this night!? Why would you show such disrespect to me and my brother like that!?"

"Get him out of my sight!" Elyon eventually ordered, before turning away, and releasing the man from her powers. "Phobos...?"

The corpse of the only nearby guard doesn't seem too eager to obey the orders of his princess. ( ) _________ The eyes of the dark prince are closed & he seems to be unconsious. Oddly enough, he doesn't respond either. __________ Finally free of the paralysis, Jarod quickly grabs his lightsaber & rushes toward Caleb's unconscious form.

Hearing the soldier get up and taking up his arms once more, Elyon quickly turned on him again, throwing Jarod back into the wall with nearly the same cold ruthlessness he himself showed while attacking the rebel leader. This time, she kept him pressed against the wall using her telekinesis. "Sentries!!" she called, watching how the elite guard struggled to get loose and have his way. You don't need him, Elyon... she thought. Destroy him... "Sentries!!!" she repeated again, with more impatience evident in her voice this time. Someone better come and help me, before I acutally do it!

[Vathek & many servants carrying food on trays: Enter from The Kitchens] Vathek leads the servants toward the ballroom until... Elyon: "Sentries!! ... Sentries!!!" Vathek: Oh no! Elyon's in danger!He orders the servants to continue toward the ballroom, then rushes to the aid of his princess. ________ The fat oaf arrives nearly out of breath. Vathek: "What is it?" *gasps for breath* "Princess? Where are the rebel assassins?"Jarod: "He's right there!," *points at Caleb* "Don't just stand there like a moron! Kill him!"

"This man here!" Elyon stated, not taking her gaze off Jarod, even for a moment. "Disarm him and take him away!"

Jarod: "..." *all color fades from his face* S-she's sending me away? Me? *glances toward Caleb; he was so close, only three more feet* B-but all I wanted was to protect her from him.Vathek: "B-but princess, I don't understand. He's one of Phobos' elite guards."

"He has attacked and killed people! Tonight! On the night of my ball!! He has endangered the safety of me and my brother!!! And he has shown deep disrespect in ignoring Phobos' wishes for tonight to be peacful. He's ignored my wishes for him to stop and explain himself!!! I--" Just take him away!! Elyon thought again. Just get him out of here before there's nothing left to take away anymore!! "Being an elite doesn't excuse that! Take him out of the palace and put him somewhere where he can think about what he's done!!"

Elyon: "He has attacked and killed people! Tonight! On the night of my ball!!" Jarod: She seems bent on having Vathek take me away like I'm some sort of rebel. But if Vathek & I both leave, then there'll be no one to protect her. She'll be an easy target for rebel assassins to attack from behind. Her life will be in danger! I cannot allow that!While Elyon is distracted by yelling at Vathek, he uses his lightsaber to cut a hole in the wall. It doesn't take long until... Elyon: "He has endangered the safety of me and my brother!!! And he has shown deep disrespect in ignoring Phobos' wishes for tonight to be peaceful. He's ignored my wishes for him to stop and explain himself!!! I--" The force of Elyon's telekinesis causes him to be pushed right through the weakened wall, then he kicks the wall with his feet to turn him so the chunk of wall gets caught by Elyon's telekinetic energy instead of him, & he is free. ___________ He silently falls to his hands & knees, while the chunk of wall gets held against another wall in his place. He quickly straps his lightsaber to his belt as he tries to run away as silently as possible--away from Elyon, away from the ballroom. ________ Elyon: "Being an elite doesn't excuse that! Take him out of the palace and put him somewhere where he can think about what he's done!!" Vathek: "Very well, Princess." *bows his head* "I shall take him outside for some fresh air." *turns to look at the hole in the wall* "Um... Is that supposed to be like that?"

Elyon rolled her eyes. Too angry to be surprised she approached her brother's body. "Find him!" she ordered. "And do it quickly!!" Because if I ever see him again... There's no telling what his fate will be... Elyon kneeled down next to the prince, realising Vathek was still there. Angrilly looking at the blue man, she pressingly ordered him to "Go!!" before getting back in her own train of thought...
