"For years, the glaiven throne remained. It was safeguarded by the knights who swore allegiance to the king, sealed in blood. But it wasn't meant to stay that way."
Mooj suddenly reclines his back in the empty air. "One day, a knight who was the most loyal to the throne took up her sword.. and stabbed the king in the heart. The king, shocked, screamed for his other knights. But to his utter horror... the rest of the knights joined the attacker.. and stabbed him as well. So much stabbing happened... that his heart was literally, carved out of his chest."
Hadenna throws down a blue 8. Xiusa, a red 3 to Anicca. Erithel, a red 10 to Repter. Sariel, a blue 6. Around that same time each of them drew cards from the deck. Anicca kept her cool but it seemed her legs were fidgeting below - so much so that the dragons noticed and couldn't help but snicker.
Anicca : (to Repter, in a half-sounding whisper) You think we're doing fine?
Hyori snickers. She keeps a straight eye on TJK, making him anxious for her reply --

"It does." Hyori smiled mischievously. "Did that make your heart skip a beat?"
