Sol's Pov

    Sol waited quietly as the large man gathered the items she needed. He suddenly popped out of the large store room and motioned her inside, but she stayed put, not trusting the man, and violently shook her head. "Miss, please come here I um, uh have to ask you a question" he intoned quietly. "No thank you sir, I don't feel comfortable with that" the man quickly pulled out a small button, which was engraved with the symbol of the rebellion, a dagger encased in a small lotus flower. "I do have a pressing question to ask you miss." Sol hurried into the small room, and closed the door quietly

    "Thank you Miss" the large man muttered. "My name is Klaus, my family was murdered by Helandria and its king, I had been here at my shop, and when I came home at night I found ashes where my home stood, and both m-my daughter's skeletons, and my wife missing." He broke down and quietly sobbed while Sol watched, alarmed, as she had no idea how to comfort him. "I beg of you, please avenge my family, I don't even know why they burned and killed them all, we have done nothing wrong!" Sol quickly responded "Sir.... I promise I will do my best to help you honor your family, but how did you know that I could help you?" 'Well Miss, this is a rebel sympathizer town, ya wouldn't be here if ya hated em. And there's been talk about ya, runnin' around and findin' the rebels." " Also Miss I packed extra food and two cloaks and heres yer boots." he murmured. "Oh Klaus, thank you so much.... I swear I will do as much as I can to help you find peace." "Thank ya little lady, be on your way fast now." 

Killian's Pov

    The royal group had finally reached Darmeria, and Killian was just settling into his quarters, when he heard a sharp knock on the large oak doors of his bedroom. "Who is it" he growled. "Oh Killian, its me Lila" a sweet voice tinkled outside. "Oh yes, do come in. How are the ladies going along with you proposal" "Oh quite well, they all think it would be nice to be in a larger, richer kingdom, though the older ones took a bit more convincing....." " Well Lila darling I do believe our plans are going along splendidly, though if the older ladies don't agree.... well you know what to do. "Yes, well I do have some new orange juniper, and hydrangeas, along with a bit of red dragon powder, for those with faint hearts it shall do wonders, though for the strong I do have some arsenic." Lila snickered as she thought about the special 'ingredients' she had stashed away in the bottom of her sewing basket.
