When my eyes open, I see Ladis' grinning face. Sitting up, I see the Queen, no, my mother, sitting on the other side of the fire, sipping a cup of tea.
"So... Why have you decided to come find me now?"
"Alain... You have to return with me to Evermore..."
"What?! W-why?"
"I have been cursed with a deadly disease, and only have months to live. By the end of the year, I will be in the Garden of Heaven, Succellus willing. I have... so much to teach you, and so little time." I saw the tears in her eyes, and knew she wasn't lying. She needed me.

I looked down at Alain and told him the one thing I never thought I'd ever say. "You should go and take Ary with you. Your mom really needs you now, and I'm sure Ary will love being treated like the princess she is."

"Ladis... I-I want you to come with me. I can't live without you. Look, I'll make you my second in command, Commander-in-Chief of the military, anything you want you can have. I'll do anything to make you stay with me. Please... You can take your men with you for all I care. I need you." I begged. "I let you go once, and I'm not doing it again."

"Love, my men can't come. They are all wanted by most authorities for numerous crimes, as am I. Even if we did come that would only make us sitting targets. No matter how powerful any of our positions may become, those who want us won't stop just because of a silly little thing as rank. But you, you and Ary are not wanted as badly as the rest of us. You could probably stay and not have to worry over who's after you." I leaned down and touched my forehead to his, smileing sadly. "As long as you two are safe everthing will be ok. I'll sneak in and visit every so often."

"Ladis, I believe that I have a solution..." My mother interrupted. "I could talk with Emperor Kylorin, who is a good friend of mine, to clear you of your crimes. Then, your men could form the core of an elite commando force for the Ljosalfar Kingdom, with you in charge of course."
"That's perfect! Ladis, what do you say?"

"I don't mind, but you'll have to ask the men. Some may not want to do it."

"Why don't you? I'm sure they'll listen if you ask..."

I sighed and shrugged." If I had to ask them then I'd have to get up. You're smaller, it doesn't take as much energy to get you up and walking."

I frowned at him. "You... don't want to, do you?"

"No no no! It's not that love! Truthfully, I doubt your plan. As much as I care for my men, they are theives to the very end. They are not the kind of men you want serving as your army. They mainly care about gaining more power and wealth. But I owe many of them my life, I can't just abandon them."

"I see. I-I don't know what to do." I pondered over this for a moment, then, an idea came to me. "What if you guys worked in secret for me, stealing documents and such from the Svartalfar? And, you can steal as much gold as you want."

"That would be ok... as long as they are willing to hand over the documents. I'm sure they could be sold at an amazingly high price. Although...my men have been fairly loyal so far..... What about being hunted? The whole reason we move around is because if you stay in one place it is easier to be tracked down."

"We could give you different identities. Then you couldn't be found out...
