Yes...
*Philomena slips a silk dressing gown over her and walks to the door. *
What is is that you want?
*She unbolts the door*

*Slyger places his ear against the door panel and listens*.
It's late, the guards are resting and I was just doing the rounds..... I'll bring you a spiced posset just the way you like it.... So leave your door unlocked please Princess...

Thank you, you are most kind.
*Philomena unlocks the door and then returns to her dressing table. She frowns as if trying to remember something*
That voice.... there is something familiar about it. Perhaps he has a connection to the tavern and will be able to get a message to my friends.
*She yawns and saunters over to the chaise longue to doze by the fire*

Thank you Princess. Rest well....
*Slyger bows his head and sighs. He mutters something under his breath. He turns away from the door and walks slowly down the dark passageway. Slyger glances at the dark shadowy figure a second time as he passes*.
Make it quick.
*He whispers sadly*.
Be merciful. But for our sake make sure the job is done....
*He slides a rag from his tunic and blows his nose before vanishing down another passageway*.

*Vortigern steps out of the shadows and draws his dagger. He approaches Philomena's bedchamber door and slowly pushes it open. He can see that the mermaid has fallen asleep. Vortigern crosses the room and stands over her. He admires her beautiful face and body. He kneels down and raising the knife Vortigern gently strokes the blade across her throat*.

*Philomena's eyes open and she smiles languidly*
Vortigern... oh Vort darling I have missed you.
*She feels the blade against her throat and gazes into his eyes with a mixture of fear and sadness*
Who sent you? No... it doesn't matter. I understand. The High Council will pardon you if you do their bidding, it is my life or yours...
*She sighs and tears form in her eyes.*
Perhaps it is for the best. My life is so wretched now... at least... at least some good will come from my death if it means you will be free my love.
*The mermaid reaches up and strokes his taut face*
But at least kiss me one last time, don't let Darl Thranmere be the last man to kiss these lips. Pretend for one moment that you still love me.

The Chaos Engine sent me.... Your nightwatchman is a spy, he'll have to die or you will....
*Vortigern takes a deep breath and slowly he draws the blade away from Philomena's throat*.
It's been a long time.... Too long.... Still trying to be noble princess?...
*He reaches down and with a flash of the blade he cuts away a piece of Philomena's hair and grips it tightly in the palm of his hand*.
Just a piece of you to keep..... The rest of you belongs to another....
*He slides the silky golden strands into the pocket of his leather tunic*.
But here I am sent to take your life.... It's.....
*He shakes his head and leans forward and kisses Philomena passionately on the lips*.
Loyalty....
*He kisses her again and leans back and strokes his hand against her face*.
Neither of us have that Philomena..... Unless.....
*He narrows his eyes and stares at Philomena*.
Kalvos is dead?
*He sighs*.
Is he no more? Has the war claimed him?

*Philomena nods sadly and sits up.*
Kalvos fell at the Battle of Dorlich. A Scavenger brought his journal to me, I know his hand anywhere... he is dead.
*She puts her arms around Vortigern*
What happened to the lock of hair I gave you when we first met? You wore it in a locket around your neck and swore you would kill the man who tried to take it from you.
*Philomena looks at the cuts and bruises on Vortigern's face. She pulls off his tunic and runs her fingers over the bruises and welts.*
My love... my poor darling...You have been hurt...tortured... who did this to you? I shall have them hunted down and their heads shall decorate the castle gates. Darl will do that for me without hesitation, it is mercy I have to beg him for. I do not suppose you have met my new...husband.
*Philomena leans in and kisses Vortigern passionately.*
Oh Vortigern....stay with me here, don't leave me alone with Darl Thranmere. Come back to where you belong, in my bed. I have missed you, you know I have never been able to stop loving you.
*She holds on to him, her beautiful body pressed tight on his*
I will demand that you are appointed my bodyguard, it is clear that the guards here are not enough to protect me. Stay with me, please Vortigern. I know you need allies, then let me be one. I shall have my father exonerate you of all crimes, he will declare you a noble freedom fighter who has been persecuted by the High Council. I will make your life here pleasurable, and you being by my side will make this life a little more bearable.
*She closes her eyes and Vortigern kisses her neck and whispers*
Don't leave me, oh please... don't leave me again.

*Vortigern slides the locket from his tunic and opens it. He removes the bloodstained lock of hair from inside and replaces it with the clean golden stands*.
It's not lost, just stained.
*He hangs the locket back around his bruised neck, his hands begin to shake*.
I sustained wounds.... The Chaos Engine Philomena...
*He coughs and blood stains his pale lips, he wipes it away on the sleeve of his tunic*.
Kalvos... He always was a soldier....
*Vortigern strokes Philomena's hair*.
Who was he fighting for I wonder?
*He slumps down beside Philomena the colour fading from his face*.
But me, I'll stay by your side. I'm tired...
*Vortigern clutches his bruised and battered hand over his stomach*.
Thranmere....
*He sighs*.
When this war is done, I may have to kill him...
*He continues to stroke Philomena's hair*.
But for now... I'll do what I can to protect you...
*He closes his eyes and his voice become a faint whsiper*.
Where's Karina? What happened to the child?

The Chaos Engine will be destroyed. My father is weeding them out, he sees them as the worse poison of the High Council's corruption... I do believe my father fights for the good of Grimney. He is a man of strong belief.
*She looks sad and strokes Vortigern's pale cheek*
Even if that belief leads him to forcing me to marry... to allow Darl Thranmere to... No, I shall tell you all tomorrow, you are tired.
*The Princess hurries to the door to bolt it and then helps Vortigern to his feet. She walks him over to her bed.*
You will sleep better in my bed, all you need is some rest and tonic and you will feel much better in a few days. You look hungry too. I have some fruit here, you rest in bed and I shall feed it to you.
*She feeds him berries and alternates with giving his forehead gentle kisses. *
Karina is safe, don't fear... my daughter will never be found by our enemies. She is hidden and she is happy. It would be impossible to bring up my illegitimate daughter here even if it was safe, Darl would never allow it.
*Vortigern closes his eyes to sleep and the mermaid lies besides him.*
Tomorrow I shall speak to Darl...
