Judith had been thrown into the cell and had remained against the cold floor where she had fallen. It felt as if every bone in her body was broken, the pain was unbearable and her head pounded. If she breathed too quickly a sharp pain filled her chest, she breathed heavily as if she had been running. If she stayed here any longer then she doubted she would be alive for more than another day or two. Judith rolled over on to her other side, she looked around the cell and listened carefully.

It had been hours since she had been returned to the cell. Where was Rhyldrin? Awful thoughts clouded her mind. They didn't need him. They didn't know why he was here and they didn't know the relationship between them. What if they had decided to kill him? Judith came back to reality of the cell door swung open, she closed her eyes and cringed as she heard Rhyldrin fall to the floor. She waited until the cell's door was closed before dragging herself to lay beside Rhyldrin. Judith reluctantly reached out her hand and brought it to his own. She didn't know what to say.

It had taken Bryon a very long time to reach the Dragonkin Capital and by now he feared the worst for Judith and Rhyldrin. If he learned of their passing then he would still go forward to try and bring peace between the Dragonkin and Elves. The odd group of Light and Dark Elves were stopped outside of the Dragonkin Capital. Bryon told the guard that he wished to have audience with the King. He went off to speak to the King immediately. When the guard returned to them they were told to get off of their horses and to travel on feet to the castle. Bryon was relieved that the King was allowing him to speak to him, though that didn't calm his nerves.

The group received quite a few odd looks as they walked to the castle, it didn't make Bryon feel any better. He avoided looking at the Dragonkin who whispered and stopped to watch the group. He was afraid of giving them any reason to do any harm to them. When the reached the entrance of the castle Bryon was stopped from entering. "There's too many of you," he hissed, his eyes wandered over Bryon then over the other's that surrounded him. "Only four of you may enter, the rest can wait outside." he smiled weakly at Bryon. Bryon let out a heavy sigh then called a man over to him, it was Kane. "You will come with me," he told him, Kane nodded. Bryon told the Queen to come with him and allowed her to bring one of her men.

Though they were stopped again as they tried to enter. "No weapons," the guard hissed. Bryon nodded a little though he hesitated for a moment to hand over his weapons. He gave them to the guard, then Kane did as well though he didn't need much to defend himself if things spiralled out of control. The guard finally let them enter once they were all unarmed. Two guards greeted them inside and escorted them to the King's chambers.
