The Night of Sorrows.....


An explosion of tore through the still night air of the peaceful palace, shredding it with so much force and sound that it shook the entire building right down to its foundation stones. All heads jerked upright at the sound and every eye in the royal birthing room except for the queen, who was in the throes of the labor, turned in the direction of the horrific noise.

King Dorian Salidor's handsome face went rigid with fear at the sound, he was already worried half to death about his lovely wife lying on the bed, the birthing of the twins, seemed to be taking a lot longer than what he thought was necessary. Now it sounded like the rest of the royal palace outside of the birthing room was being attacked.

Glancing at his protector, the knight champion, Bertravis Liolbane, and his new personal battlemage, Colin Lightbringer, the king made a split decision. He commanded the battlemage to find out what was going on outside the throne room. Grabbing his red oak mace staff, Colin raced out of the birthing room in a blur of black and gold. Then, facing his champion, who also wore a worried expression etched upon his face, Kind Dorian ordered him to stand fast by the door and to check on the other two knights standing guard in the hall outside. The tall stern faced Krannion knight commander and champion of the royal family, moved towards the door and slowly opened it, his hand tight on his proctors' sword hilt. The ringing sounds of the swords on the swords and metal on metal signified a battle being fought outside. The sounds of it filled the birthing chamber. A look of alarm flashed on the champion's face when he saw no sign of the knights stationed outside of the door. He found them a moment later father down the hall with Colin Lightbringer attempting to hold off a horde of what looked like terian northmen being led by a tall blond haired man with ice-cold blue eyes from the reaching their chambers.

At least they had the help of the battlemage.
