A lost light

CHAPTER 2

Vixen left the throne room, feeling devastated, he was going to be stuck with a blind princess, he needed to find a way out of this mess that he had gotten himself into.

He climbed his horse and rode off, before reaching the thatched bar house he had always met his friends, he hid behind a tree and quickly changed his attire, he was now wearing a commoners cloth and tied his horse in a hidden place before entering the bar house, he scanned the room and saw he's friends all looking down and worried as they stayed in a hidden area.

He sat close to them as their eyes widened in shock.

" You're okay! Lyra hugged him with so much excitement, before she pulled away,

Lyra smith was a black haired woman, she had beautiful light purple orbs as eyes, and a painted purple lips, she was indeed a beauty

" What happened, we have been feeling guilty since morning" Rowan- the dyed red haired said raising his head, he had black eyes and a slim lips.

They all seemed Ill, did guilt eat them up that much.

" You all should remain calm, am not getting hanged neither is my head being decapitated " Vixen said trying to cheer them up but it didn't work that much, " so I'll tell the truth " am getting married! he finally said before closing his eye and waiting for his friends reactions.

They all stared at him for a while, before Orion the only introverted friend he had bursted out with laughter, it was like the cackling of a witch, cute....but hideous.

Rowan closed Orion's mouth before more people would stare at them, and finally Orion comported himself, before settling down as thou nothing had happened, then he whispered a thank you to Rowan.

Orion Silin was a whitish blonde, he had sky blue eyes and black lips and so was his eye lines.

Orion had told his friends about the weird cackling noise he made as a laugh, and told them to always have his back.

It was funny at first, until one time the villagers almost burnt him thinking he was a witch.

Vixen looked at his friends again, " am serious!

Then their face went serious,

"You......get married!

" Yes it's my punishment"

" What do you plan on doing about that, Orion asked ,"do you know the lady?

" It's an arranged marriage, and it's already finalized, oh! she's blind "

Lyra, Orion and Rowan gasped in shock

" We need a plan, we have to get you off this marriage! Rowan said thinking of a plan already,

" I don't think am getting off the hook this time I have accepted my fate" vixen admitted.

An awkward silence followed and the four friends thought hard, suddenly Orion clicked his fingers catching the attention of the others,

"King Klein loves his daughter, Orion said. " if we can get her to reject the proposal, king Klein wouldn't force her into the marriage"

" How would we do that? Rowan asked

" That's what you should think of," Orion said as he relaxed on his bench, " I've done my job" he said as he threw his hands on the air,

"We make vixen look bad Infront of her, Rowan suggested.

" She has a good heart, that wouldn't move her" Orion said matter of factly.

" We threaten her, Rowan said

" She's blind, threatening would take no effect on her, expecially since we don't want to get violent" Lyra said

"Then we tell her that lyra here is his girlfriend, and that she was standing in the way of true love"

" That might work" Orion said.

" Such disgusting lie" Lyra spat, everyone looked at her, telling her to explain, "why would I love this crazy man" Orion and Rowan smiled, but vixen took an offense in her comment.

" Like I would want to have anything to do with a witch from hades like you"

" Ehm........am.....not........" Lyra stammered, seeming serious,

" Don't take it to heart, he's just joking " Rowan said as he cuddled Lyra. Vixen looked at her face and a weird expression was still plastered on her face, he snapped out of it, he had things to do than stare at a crazy friend all day.

The plan was all set and they all had agreed on a date to execute, the plan was simple, they would ride to Tragon kingdom, but since they weren't allowed to meet until marriage, they would dress like commoners and meet her in the market, they heard that she distributed food supplies to the less privileged once every Full moon, so in two days time she would be there again, then they would execute the plan.
