Artemis

*I stand tall in the large room of people. I would have much rather stayed in Dalerin, but alas it was mandatory I had to make the 2 week journey to the capital just to watch a crown get put on a head. they could have sent a letter in the mail announcing a new king but everyone had to attend as a show of loyalty to the crown. I could care less, but it wouldn't fair well with my reputation with the gold sprinkled across my face.* to the new king of Mithramar! *I say in unison and raise my goblet*

*The crowd gasps as a bowstring gets pulled back. As if it was in slow motion, you watch an arrow fly from one of the balconies towards the new king. Gastly scene, watching an arrow pierce through someone's head. You look towards the balcony and see a hooded figure turn away and run off, what shall you do?*

*My face falls, I'm aghast. My first thought is that of a guard. I drop my goblet and rush to the king. I don't know what to do, but I need to get the arrow out of his head and hope he doesn't bleed out. I try to remain calm and composed, but my heart is pounding in my chest. I grab the arrow and pull it out, looking for any sign of life.*
