Belladonna made her way up to a lone tree near the edge of a cliff near town. She had come here every year for the past six years alone to "celebrate" the anniversary of her dear friend Faye's death and their attempt to overturn the corrupt king. It, it hadn't worked as they had planned hence why only Bella was here. After letting out a long breath she sat down near the base of the tree laying her glaive in front of her along with a little bit of sage to burn in honor of her fallen friend. A part of her couldn't believe it had been six years and another part of her was still silently grieving her dear friend. Bella took a deep breath before lighting the sage and letting it burn the smoke gently rising into the air.

Faye wandered the halls of the huge castle. Six years ago, she had been killed, most people would be confused if they heard this, but Faye wasn't, she knew exactly how and why they had brought her back to life. The King she once tried to kill, she now serves. Wearing the golden and white uniform of a general, she passed by the maids and butlers and watched as they bowed. It was a long and hard six years to get here. Two butler's open the large redwood doors that lead to the throne room. It was nerve wracking everytime she walked in here, but Faye had mostly gotten used to it. "My King." She got on one knee and crossed her right arm to her left shoulder, it was a way to show respect for her King. In a chair in front of her sat a young man, about one year younger than her. He had chocolate brown hair to complement his light complexion; And his deep blue eyes were enchanting. Yes, he was now the new King. Ky's father died about four years ago. Ky had grown fond of Faye and since then she has been by his side. "Faye." He looked stern at first, but then smiled and went to hug her. "Welcome back." Faye, gently pushed Ky off and smiled. "My King, you shouldn't hug a low soldier like myself." After a brief talk they went to town and had some lunch, of course they changed their clothes to match the towns people. If they were discovered that the king was out and about, he would most likely be kidnapped.

Bella stayed up on the cliff for another hour or so sitting in silence and burning what sage she had. There was no way she could afford to stay up on the cliff this near town for too long. She had a bit of warrant on her head for attempting to kill the old king and as such didn't feel comfortable staying around the town for too long. After letting out a long breath Belladonna stood up and grabbed her glaive and stored away the ashes of the burned sage. She pulled up the hood of her cloak before making her way back down the cilff and into the city so she could head into the woods where Rowan and their new house was.
