The elven king waited until the traitor was sent to her knees facing the crowd. Elves did not jeer and mock like humans did when it came to traitors, they merely stood in silence and contempt towards the one who brought all this chaos and destruction upon their lands.

Speaking in elvish now King Sunrider raised his hand signaling the executioner, "Eilionwy en' sprien alu, lle life naa tyele ar' ere' i' Seldarine shall waana finally judgment deno' lle."

Translation:: "Eilionwy of Spring Water, your life is ended and only the gods shall pass finally judgment upon you."

The gleam of the executioner's blade was seen only just seconds before the elf maiden's body slumped to the ground. Her head severed cleanly off her shoulders. The body was grabbed by two of the royal guard and thrown into a wooden box. The head was placed in another smaller box and were removed from the balcony. The crowd of elven people let out a sigh of relief as hope returned once again.

"Justice is served," Lord Irzen muttered under his breath.

Lazheros nodded with approval, "Judgement and justice for the people of Northaven. Your people are resilient, King Sunrider, and may your reign last for many more generations."

King Sunrider nodded in kind, "If it hadn't been for Emissary Orym's persistence, I fear my people's fate would of had a different turn of events. My sons rallied together, all of them bringing hope and restoring the peace, thank you all."

"You are most welcome, Sunrider, Elven King," Lord Irzen replied, "It was our pleasure to come to the aid of our friend, Prince Willow, in his time of need. We are glad that we could help and be of service to you and your people, Your Majesty."

Lazheros turned to the ranger, "Prince Willow, will you be accompanying us when we take our leave from the kingdom of Northaven, or are you staying here with your family?"

"I intend to remain here with my family, Lazheros," The prince replied without hesitation, "My family need me. My people need me. And more importantly, my country needs us!" He waved his and over to his brothers, "For we are the Sons of Sunrider; we are not just princes to our people, we are beacons of hope, symbols of justice and signs of order to them. But I will make you this promise, once the reconstruction is complete, once the king's law has been fully restored to our lands and once we have achieved a modicum of peace, then I will find you and rejoin you."

Alyson tapped Serna on the shoulder, "It's okay now, the deed is done and the late elf maiden is gone. You can turn back around now."

"Are you sure its okay, Alyson?" Caliaphy peeked through the strands of Serna's hair cautiously.

"Yes, Caliaphy." She replied.

"Thanks, Alyson," Serna turned around with a sad smile.

Captain Lion gave the king and his sons a courtly bow and said, "Prince Birch, my ship will sail soon, and I am offering to take you and the princess back to East Port along the way to Asylum, would that please you?"

"Ye gods, Captain Lion, what an OUTSTANDING idea!" Prince Birch nearly leapt from his seat but barely kept his composure--barely, "We have travelled by sea and by land, NOW, we shall travel by air!" With a distant and wistful look in his eye, Prince Birch seemed almost as if he was speaking to himself, "Ah! My muse speaks to me with words that are on the tip of my mind. I feel a poem coming on!"

The airship captain turned to the shield maiden now, "Young lady, have you considered my offer?"

"I have, Captain Lion," Serna looked up at the airship captain, "And while I do consider your offer a generous one, I'm afraid that I must decline." Looking over at her companions, The Shield Maiden added, "These people are not just my friends, they are my family too! And whether they are here like Prince Willow or in Asylum like Neven or on the road to another part of The Realm, there is a bond of fellowship that I have with them that I am not ready to part with. I hope you understand, Captain Lion, I have a family--and they are right here with me."
