Hellhounds

"you have to let go."Darion heard Owan say behind him and he dipped his hand inside the water very quickly and swiped through it blurring the image which eventually faded out.

"It would begin soon, let's go."Owan said patting his shoulder and after a while he stood,there was no way he was letting her go.

It was time to tell the council what he had seen and he knew what exactly he would do.

Walking into the large room with a circular table just in the center and chairs to go with it, he stopped briefly at the entrance ,the room had a bright white colour and asides that there was no other furniture in the room,just a few very interesting paintings that added no beauty to the room,this was the only room that looked so bland in the whole of Magadon,he walked and sat in his position,there was a crystal looking globe just in the middle of the table and little glass jars around the table and there were ten people seated around the table, twelve males and three females.

After the introductions and the greetings were offered ,they addressed some regular issues,it was time for Darion to make his observations know as he had been away on a the mission, but he just sat there watching them without a word.

"Speak up Darion ,we don't have all the time in the world or do you need more than an hour to recollect."Marshall said as he was at the verge of losing his temper.

"Of course you don't."Darion said in acknowledgement,"but I don't as well and I wouldn't say a word till a britch is created to let her through."he said plainly.

"That is preposterous!"Marshall shot as he banged his hand on the table and there was a tinkle from every single glass jars on the table.

"Control, Marshall."Otto said beside him placing a hand on his shoulder.

"We would do nothing of that sort."Vernon said from the head of the table and Darion relaxed further in his seat, he knew he was being unreasonable but this was the only way he had thought ,if not this then he wasn't sure anything would give him what he so desperately wanted.

They were leaving already,lady Sacha had seemed quite a bit annoyed about something she wasn't sure of, there was this tension between them after Ivor's witless proclamation of her being his queen but lord Travis seemed surprised at first then happy,he had said something about an heir and she didn't even want to think of it.

Nina peeked out of the carriage and waved at her and before she could wave back,she was pulled back properly into the carriage and Thrianna frowned,what did she do?

"You like children." Ivor said beside her still looking at the departing carriages.

"Yes, very much."she said with a smile, "don't you?"she asked turning to look at him.

"No, I don't."he said quite frankly.

"Why?"

"Why not?,they are little hell hounds."he said squinting his face,"the devil's incarnate."he said as if in deep thought and she had to hold back a chuckle, he hated children,how very convenient.

"I would be out for a while."he said turning to stand in front of her, he took her hand and turned it placing a kiss directly on her palm not taking his eyes off her face and her heart picked up an unsteady beat and he smiled standing erect.

"Wait for me."he said and she almost felt like he was telling her not to go away,he let go of her hand as he turned and left.

She stood rooted to the ground and then she rubbed her thumb over her palm, maybe not today,she thought and went in.

He had said they would be going out of the castle today and she couldn't keep in her excitement but she did well to hid it from him,he just wouldn't mention to where exactly,she dressed in a gown that seemed lighter from the top like a gray colour then fell into a darker shade below,her hair was let down and it flowed just above her waist.

He gave her a hand as she got into the carriage,she sat across him looking as stunning as ever, he had found that journal on the table in the library and he knew that there was no way she could have opened it because she didn't have the ability to but he couldn't shake the feeling in his chest saying otherwise, and his unease grew even more when he considered the words that Nina had spoken but then the only logical explanation was that it was actually asleep, when he had seen them it was a perfectly fine bird,maybe he was thinking too much on the matter, maybe he wasn't cursed after all.

They rode through the village and they stopped in front of a house,it was not big looking and definitely not fancy,it looked old but strong enough to last a few more years of heavy down pours,it was an orphanage.

Thrianna stepped down from the carriage noticing another carriage that stopped behind them,the footman began unloading some food items,toys,and other things,the only thing that registered at that second was that he had considered her love for children and decided that they would visit the orphanage not just visit,share gifts as well not minding he didn't thought them the devil's incarnate,she smiled,he was really thoughtful,he could have sent any staff to do it but they were here ,she felt her heart swell, maybe he wasn't as bad as she had first thought him or maybe it was just a pretence.

"Shall we?"he said coming to stand beside her and she took his hand.

"Oh my whiskers!"she caretaker exclaimed as she saw the number of baskets moving into the orphanage and she seemed even more surprised to see Ivor as her eyes widened as they both went through the entrance,she looked scared for absolutely no reason or maybe there was a reason for her fear,it wasn't everyday that the lord of Nightfalls visited an orphanage home, maybe he should have informed the poor lady ,she looked so frightened. she was plump with strawberry blonde hair that was tied tightly into a bun,she turned very pale as they walked in her direction.
