Avalay this is who we fight for....
*He gestures towards the disheveled scavenger*.
This poor man will be raised up when this war is won. I want to bring some light to his eyes.
*He smiles at Philomena*.
The enemy must believe that I'm a barbarian, many armies have run because of their fear of me....
*He looks at Dryce*.
So..... What is so important?

You fight for this man?
*Philomena looks over at the Scavenger*
Then will he and his companions be dining with us tonight? I too wish the poor to be raised up. The mirefolk were poor and honest, and even the dishonest ones would never rob a corpse.
*She touches the emerald necklace around her throat*
It is too easy for me to judge his morals of course.
*The mermaid smiles faintly at Darl*
And you will be pleased to know that I will always fear you, whether you are barbaric or not.

Judge my job would you lady?
*Dryce grins at Avalay and rolls black tobacco between his stained teeth*.
You all....
*He looks around the Great Hall, cynically admiring the portraits and grand statues of legendary Kanaran warriors. He stares at the large oak table laid out with wine and silver*.
Live so well..... Such... Splendor...
*He scrapes the bottom of his dirty boot upon the polished wooden flooring*.
How can I leave my mark in a land like this?
*He frowns at Darl*.
You won't help my kind when the war is done....
*He looks down at the muddy stain*.
When I'm gone, you'll simply wipe me away.....
*He sneers*.
Like a maid mops the floor... That's the wealthy for you....
*He looks at Philomena*.
Dining with you?.... One little meal? To fill our hungry bellies then back to our starving village? We don't need your charity, for those that give it's all false pity.... And look at me mentality.....
*Dryce chuckles*.
This book....
*He slides the green journal from his ragged robes*.
Was found on the corpse of a young blonde dead soldier at Dorlich.....
*He tosses it to the floor*.
I know nothing else....

*The mermaid steps forward and kneels beside the book*
No!
*Philomena trembles as she picks up the book and clutches it to her chest*
Kalvos... my beloved Kalvos. What hope is there left for me...
*She looks up at Darl angrily*
Was this by your orders, barbarian? Your way of breaking my wings? It is not enough to rape me and lock me away from my sea, you must kill the man I love?
*She sobs*
Monster...
*Philomena stands up and rips the necklace from her neck, throwing it down in front of Darl. She proceeds to remove her bracelets and wedding ring*
Here. Take all of these trinkets back, I want nothing from you but my death.
*Philomena puts the dagger in his hand and holds the point to her heart. She breaks down into helpless tears.*
End my misery. If you have any compassion, just end it now.

*Darl looks down with sadness in his eyes and shakes his head*.
I did no such thing.... I would have spared Kalvos..... This...
*He looks up angrily at Dryce*.
This is treachery....
*He lunges forward and grabs the scavenger by the neck and shoves him roughly against the wall. Darl slashes the man across the face with the knife*.
Truth low born.... You have been sent by the High Council to destroy this union.
*He throws down the knife and grabs Dryce around the throat*.
Give us answers.... Or I'll break your neck...

*He stares into the raging eye of Darl Thranmere*.
I know not.... What you're talking about....
*He touches his face with a grubby hand*.
Am I cut bad?....
*He gasps*.
A witch.... A witch gave me the journal. I know nothing of who she was... I'm just a trader, no more than that....
*He looks to Philomena*.
I've a family.....

Darl enough! You will kill him and you have too much innocent blood on your hands already.
*She looks at the book*
Kalvos.....He is dead... he is dead... he took this everywhere he went, he would not have left it behind.

Enough? enough is when I say so!
*Darl pulls Dryce away from the wall and hurls him across the room. The terrified man tries to crawl away. Darl strides forward and shoves him further down until Dryce's bloodied face is pressed heavily against the wood floor*.
You bring misery and for that you will crawl from my presence.....
*He looks up at Avalay*.
Arrest the scavengers, chain them and put them in the pit...
*He yanks back Dryce's head*.
If you are working for my enemies, I'll have you skinned....
*Darl looks up at Avalay a second time*.
Take this low born from my sight and organize a search of the battlefield at Dorlich...
*He stands up and looks sadly at Philomena*.
if Kalvos is there...
*His voice softens*.
I wish his body returned to Philomena..... I know him to have a reputation of a good man, and he must be treated with honour....
*He lowers his head and looks at the scattered jewelry and then looks back at Dryce, curled up in a quivering ball on the floor*
Too many good men have perished....
*He looks down at Dryce*.
And wastrels like you strip them....
*He sighs*.
If Kalvos's body is found, you will be spared Dryce....
*He beckons Avalay with his finger*.
Avalay remove him. But do not let him stand.... He will crawl until I say otherwise....

As you command sir.
*He motions to two guards to remove the terrified man.*
Thousands of men perished at Dorlich, the chances of finding the body now after the crows have feasted... but my men will do their best.
* He looks at the Princess*
I am sorry for your loss.
*Avalay leans down to pick up her wedding ring. He hands it to his master and speaks softly in Darl's ear so no others can hear*
You will find once her grief subsides that her loss is your gain. There shall be no barrier between you and perhaps in time she will grow to love you as you wish. Comfort her, become her rock.
*He turns to Dryce*
Now crawl dog... and pray that body is found.

*Philomena sits on the cold floor of the Great Hall clutching the journal and weeping*
Darl please release him. Kalvos would not have wanted him to be clapped in irons merely for bringing news of his death. Now that poor man's family may starve.
*The tears continue to roll down her cheeks as she reads through the journal*
My beloved Kalvos... Nobody will ever love me like you did.
