Annabelle smiled and shook Cyra's hand. She then said "Pack your things, we leave soon. I promise you will be rewarded well and Calnace will stay standing."
-
Cyra also smiled, a mischievous grin like she knew something that Annabelle didn't. She grabbed a large satchel and started stuffing it with weapons she'd been working on and tools. The bag had also had clothes inside of it, almost like she was prepared for something like this to happen. Cyra yelled, "Tawny!" and a short man with curly blonde hair and honey colored skin quickly hurried forward. She whispered some things to him and then turned to Annabelle. "Okay, I'm ready."
-
Annabelle didn't like her grin and wondered if Cyra was planning something. She decided not to show she was worried and said "Alright, let's go." She then bent down to the goblin captain and whispered "Keep an eye on her. Something's up." She then started leaving along with Hunter and the goblins.
-
Cyra follows the goblins, Annabelle, and Hunter as she waves goodbye to her friends in the forgery. However, she slows her walk so that she could say something that only Hunter could hear. "Your mother is alive by the way. Her bloodline kept her safe, while she had to watch the man she loved burn. Hope you're proud, cuz," Cyra hissed, then she walked ahead again before he could respond.
-
Annabelle lead all of them to the castle that was almost nearly complete at this point. She said "Welcome to the new castle of the Overlord. The Fortress of Darkness. Now let's see if we can't find a place for our new blacksmith."
-
"My work is loud and requires fire. If you've got a basement with a furnace of some sort I can work there. I'll also need assistants and underlings." Cyra said as she squinted at the dusky sunset. Hunter had been pretty silent while they were traveling back.
-
Annabelle said "I can have the orcs build you a furnace. As for underlings." She then pointed to the goblins and said "What do you think they're for?" The goblins then smiled creepily.
-
"I thought they were there being ugly so that you'd look prettier in comparison. Or perhaps kindling. Maybe walking shields? I'm not totally aware of how an evil lady's mindset works," Cyra answered Annabelle, then she walked into the castle first like she owned the place. Hunter usually liked his cousin's caustic personality, but now he wondered if it'd get her executed.
-
Annabelle did not like her first comment but still smiled and said "They're all that and more. Of course you might need them to look prettier more then I do."
-
Cyra snorted. "You don't work in the smithery for as long as I do for looks. It requires strength and sweat, but I understand if you don't know about things like that," she said proudly. Hunter hadn't seen someone talk about Annabelle so blatantly since before the destruction of Widowmire.
-
(I must say, Cyra's got nerves of steel. Not too many people could say this stuff to someone who massacred an entire village, burned down a forest and defeated two fairy onslaughts.)
Annabelle just smiled again and pushed her closer to the castle to get her inside. She lead her to the basement and said "We'll put the forge in soon. For now just get things ready." -
(Well, she doesn't know about some of those. Besides, if she did, she'd probably still be assertive cause that's how she made it to the top of a male-dominated career)
Cyra looked around the basement and said "Wow. Real homey. Am I gonna sleep here too? Will I be fitted with legcuffs?" She asked. Hunter rolled his eyes. "Don't give her any ideas" he warned his cousin. -
(I see.)
Annabelle said "We'll make another bedroom. Don't worry your pretty little head. No legcuffs. Unless I find you betray us. But why would you think of something like that, when your precious Calnace could be the casualty." -
Cyra finally returned Annabelle's icy smile. "Alright, miss stormy. Thanks for the accommodations," Cyra mockingly bowed her head before turning and beginning to unload some of the things she'd packed. She waved them away.
-
Annabelle walked upstairs with Hunter and once they got out of earshot, Annabelle said "I don't trust that woman. I fear she may be trying to take us down. Are we sure she'll make good weapons?"
