Andia: The Revolution

[Leyyuce]

"Hello, Ashriel," Peter promptly replied.

[Eltee]

"What?" Aarys said, confused. "Was that Drago...?"

[JVElEven]

"It wasn't me this time," Hremai replied automatically, sideglancing shiftily.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"I've noticed we've never talked. Why do you think that is?" Ashriel asked.

[Eltee]

"We have to help him!" Aarys said urgently, grabbing Hremai's hand and running to the source of the scream.

[Duh]

Dragovan was running about the tent, holding his head with his hands. "Oh my god!" he cried. "Where's Hremai!? WHERE?"

[Leyyuce]

Peter shrugged. "Coincidence, I suppose. Everything doesn't have as deep a meaning as you might suspect."

[Eltee]

"Oh, dear..."

[Duh]

"Hremai, I'm sorry!" Dragovan actually had tears falling from his eyes. "I'm so sorry about...everything! It feels like swords are being pushed into my ears! Oh my god! Oh my GOD!"

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

And Peter and Ashriel evidently don't give a damn.

Hremai looked on in a mixture bwteen confusion and excitedness. What's wrong with him? she asked internally.

[Leyyuce]

Spoiler:

They both have horrible hearing.

[Duh]

"What's wrong with him?" the voice replied to Hremai in her mind. "He insulted you. That is what's wrong with him."

[Eltee]

"Oh my god!" Aarys squeaked in fear and surprise. "Drago... What can we do? Is it... A migraine? Or.... God! What's wrong?!?"

[JVElEven]

Oh, well, Hremai thought.

"He's just whining again," she mumbled.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"I was just making conversation." Ashriel said casually. "Hows the whole 'chosen one' thing going with you?"

[Duh]

"Hremai..." Dragovan whispered, literally crying. "I'm sorry. I''m so sorry!"

Other soldiers were gathering around him. Some were laughing. Others were concerned.

[Leyyuce]

"I haven't given its implications much thought. It isn't our place to question the decision, and so I'll carry out my duties as well as I'm able."

[Duh]

"You see how much they hate you? Not one of them has even noticed your fully restored eye yet! They only notice you when they're forced to...like mister Dragovan here. Would you like me to stop his pain?"

[JVElEven]

Hremai shook her head, growing a slight arrogant grimace.

[Duh]

"I'm beginning to show true respect for your ruthlessness, Hremai." the voice giggled.

"Hremai," Dragovan begged, placing his hand on her feet and bowing. "Please...I'm sorry!"

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"Isn't our place to question the decision?" Ashriel asked. "It's our lives, Pete. Questioning orders from our superiors is the only thing that distinguishes us from Husks."

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Too bad Pete is a husk.

[Leyyuce]

"I'd argue that the Old God should be regarded as more than a simple superior."

[Duh]

Spoiler:

Guys, I have King A's password.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Ashriel scowled. "We're doing the freedom fighting here. I don't see the old god lending a hand."

Spoiler:

Is it "Capuchin"?
