Dawn of Heroes

Cam nodded, rushing over getting a fruit crate

Gwen sent her hand to try to minimize the damage

Oliver traces symbols on the crate, it starting to glow, him trying to trap the elemental inside.

It tried to make it's way out, though it was much weaker than normal, him clearly able to tell she was no where close to full strength with the strength of that beast

".....thank goodness.... though the evidence is burnt to a crisp" Cam said "......we stopped it from getting much worse"

Oliver takes the box, walking back to the castle. “It done.” He said dropping the box on a table.

Natalie gets it "I am sorry the king's asleep" she said "he has very little energy left in him....a fire elemental, that wouldn't explain the mass hysteria caused" she said confused looking at the thing

“That was the parting gift.” Oliver told her. “Morgan is back.”

"....that.... is surprising" she said "...she's weak" she said "......I could cast a stronger beast than this" she explained "...and I am no where on the level she was" she said "....alright, I'll send word to the magical heads of the Forest and Mountain and let them know" she said "the word will spread, everyone will know" she said

“I’m sure you could have casted it out, but yet I am sent.” Oliver muttered.

"......the beast is free" she said "Faldaris roams the skies looking to do the bidding of Lorelei" she said "....I must keep up this barrier, I must keep up the wall, or this town will freeze over in her quest to rid the world of all lycanthropes beyond her own" she said "and then the other magical beasts of this city suffer, for no reason, because of a darn dragon!" she said ".....I don't want to do this, I never wanted to be this town's wizard, but we need one, and I am the only one capable of it" she said back in her defense

“You know that isn’t the problem.” He said back walking towards her. “You saw a chance to correct your mother’s mistakes. It not your burden to bare.”

"Then who's is it?" she said "Elcastel is my home.... it was yours for a while too" she said looking at him "....these are the people I have to protect, the people she swore to protect" she said

Cam got to his room, sneaking away from the arguement

“You also made another oath.” Oliver said getting louder. “And you broke it without a moment hesitation.”

Rube looks up at him, holding a sleeping Glimer.

"she was my mother, my own mother!" she said "....she was the trusted king advisor, of course I was going to go to bat for her, she gave me my life" she said "....I.... didn't suspect a thing" she said defeated

"...will be honest, is still weird" he whispered, crawling in beside her "...but at least we have each other" he said

“And now your where they can keep an eye on you. You sold your own soul, at the cost of me.” Oliver stood over her. “And everything we could of have.”

"and you think you were innocent in all this?" she said "no, no, "run away with me"" she said "my world was falling apart, my mom a monster, my city in shambles and you gave me an ultimatum" she retorted "you or everything I had left, and no time to decide" she said "....you meant more to me then anything else, but I had so little and you wanted me to throw that away too?" she said

“The city was turning itself inside out. I was trying to protect my fiancé.” Oliver grabs her. “You where my everything.”

"and who was going to protect them?" she asked "I wanted you to, I wanted to be here as your wife, as your partner, but you turned this all away oh magic protege" she said "....and left me to pick up the pieces of my broken home" she said, shedding a few tears

“This isn’t a home, it is a prison.” Oliver told her. “They have you where they want you. Trapped. Locked in a cage of your own making.” Oliver wipes away her tears.

"....then you would let these places rot?" she asked "this.... is a world, with people, just because they aren't human like you and m.... you" she corrected herself "it doesn't mean they don't deserve a world safe from the cruelty and hatred of the outside" she said "...could Malakai run freely before he died, or did he have to pretend to be human?" she asked "....did he deserve that lie?" she asked

Oliver turns silent, still holding her. “He died protecting his queen. That is what he chose.”

"And he died hiding himself" she pointed out "....the minotaurs, the sphinx, the others" she said "...they aren't allowed to live outside these walls" she said "....they are doomed if I am to leave" she said crying "....all of them.... for you" she said "...an entire city's populace.... for you" she said

“You didn’t put this argument up when I traded away the hunt for you.” He told her. “All the human race, for you. But when your mother proves that a bad idea, you side with the shadows, and I go back to hunting the one who treat my people as cattle.” He was still holding her pulling her in. “And I still can’t help but love you.”

"....because I see the better man in you" she said ".....I see who you want to be" she said "....because I see the you who will be there some day" she said "....because you are my other half...." she said defeated

He lets her go, stating to walk away.

The officer stops in front of Tracker’s cell. “Feeding time you filthy animal.”

Gwen had just finished packing the weapons she and Cam borrowed from Oliver back in the chest, closing it up, not noticing him coming in

"...ya ya" he said going to the door, getting his food, annoyed, yanking it
