Constance Carwick had to steel her nerves. She couldn’t believe it. Rodderick was, she was certain, dead. And maybe he should be, she heard some part of her voice say. But another part of her violently rejected that ideal. But behind her…

She was in the stables, dressed now in non-descript travelers’ clothes, and when she looked over her shoulder back at the mansion of Hellvion, she could still hear the straggled panic of those trapped, or trying to get out, or just panicked.

They should be afraid, a voice said fiercely in her head, what is their fear compared to the fear of a young child torn from their family and thrown into the camps? Camps that are little more than death camps? They brought this on themselves.

But her stomach flipped over in uncertainty. This wasn’t what they were supposed to do. It wasn’t how they were supposed to act. But… Why not? part of her wondered. That child is innocent. These nobles are not.

Perhaps she paused too long, because when she finally turned back to mount the horse, she saw a familiar figure running towards the stables. Shit.

Kentamin had been spared the chaos from the bomb, but it did not save his eyes from taking in the overwhleming sight of the aftermath as the Hellvion castle began to crumble. Once a sturdy structure of stone, now crumbled on one side, taking grand spires along with it and kicking up a swelling sea of dust.

Rodderick, unbeknowest to him, found the perfect artery to make his assault- and though the Grand Duke did bleed for it, he did not take a fall nearly as grand as what fate had in store for the northern duchy. The screams were almost too much to bear, and as he found himself being pulled into the swell of chaos that sent him into a fever, he turned to the stable to see a figure disappear within.

Constance Carwick.

A cold determination set within his eyes. He couldn't believe what she had done. And to think he had fallen into sin with her. What a weak fool! Angsar forgive him and give him strength that he needed!

Long legs pulled him along, where hard muscles were beginning to form from the long journey he had begun when becoming another peg int he wheel of war. And though he felt his strength returning with each step he took,upon nearly reaching the stable, he was still not mentally prepared to see...

her.

His heart froze in his breast, as he paused in midrun to scream, "CONSTANCE! STOP!" And his voice carried like a lion's roar over the cries of chaos.

Olive wasted no time once Kentamin spotted her. She turned on a dime, swiftly mounting the horse. But once she was seated on the gray mare, for a moment her eyes locked on Kentamin's. Her expression just as shell-shocked as his, she shook her head. As if to say, 'I didn't do this.'

...Hadn't she?

Had she? No, a voice said firmly in her mind. This wasn't what they had come for. Did she bear some responsibility? Yes. Of course she did. But so did every lord in that hall. Every one had helped fuel Calent's war. Every one had agreed to let his people be dragged away from their homes and their families - for mages were still people, however much everyone might forget or act as though they weren't. But... She looked back at the building. It was terrible, and she could not feel 'victorious' about it. That wasn't what they did. It wasn't the message they had wanted to send. The action they had wanted to take. This wasn't how they were supposed to work. They were supposed to be better. Better than Calent and his blind war, better than this.

Olive bit her lip, sparing one last look at the blast in the side of the manor, one last glance at Kentamin, then dug her heels into the side of the horse and took off into the night. No one would notice her in the commotion. No one, of course, except the Templar.

What was that look? That look of pain, agony... one begging of forgiveness? What did she expect him to do? To say in reply to her silent words as she simply kicked her heels into the horse and made off into the night.

A fire scorched through him like an unseen flame, and soon he found himself to where the second horse was perched. Who knew what had become of most of the other horses. No doubt Constance Carwick, traitor to all of Connlaoth, had spooked them all away. No matter, he took what he was given, and marked a hand across himself in the name of Angsar.

And soon he was riding off into the night, and pursuing her- and fast.
