*Royal Bath House*
Kat sighs as she gets in the hot water. "So nice."
"Gorgeous"
She opens her eyes to see Derek naked on the other side of the bath. She smiles. "Hello handsome."
He gets in. Slowly swimming close to her. He holds her close.
She kisses him gently.
"You look as beautiful as the day I met you lass." He winks at her.
She smiles but it slowly turns into a frown.
"See. I knew something was wrong. Tell me." He pushes some hair behind her ear.
She sighs as she puts her head on his shoulder. "I just hate this whole thing. The whole marriage thing. I don't want to send them off. Especially to people or kingdoms they never knew about."
He kisses her head. "I know. I don't like it either."
"I wish I could arrange something else.." She lifts up her head. Her eyes widen. "That's it!" She goes to get out but Derek pulls her back in.
"Nope. You can't leave until I make sure your satisfied." He pulls her in close. Kissing her passionately.

Skylar plays chess with Touma through the bars of his prison. "And check mate!" She smiles big.
He laughs. "Yeah yeah." He begins to move all his pieces off.
"Uncle Touma, can you tell me again about your life behind the wall?" Skylar asks as she too removes her pieces.
He chuckles. "I told you. That story takes too long to tell. And our time together isn't that long." He begins to cough. His coughing becomes deeper.
"I know.." She looks at him worried. "I just like hearing it. Queen Kat-Mom.." She looks down at the ground. "She doesn't like talking about it. And well dad just tells me not to worry."
He nods. "Sky, you need to understand. Your parents don't tell you because they want to keep you safe."
"But how will I always be safe if something attacks us? And I'm the only person left in the family? What then?" She looks at him.
He sighs. "Listen, I know I have only a few more years in me. But I promise before I die I will tell you. Now with that said have you wrote about what I asked?"
She smiles. "Thanks! And yes!" She pulls out her journal. "I wrote down everything." She hands it to him through the bars.
He flips the pages as he reads. "This is good. I like the bird you drew. Very good detail." He smiles as he looks.
"Thank you.." She smiles at him.
"Here." He hands it back. "Today I want you to tell me what else you see beyond the wall."
She nods as she puts her journal away.
"Tell me. How do you see beyond the wall?" He raises a brow at her.
She smiles. "Like you said. Before you die you'll tell me about your adventures. So when I am about to die I'll do the same."
He smirks. "Okay.."
*Next Scene*
Isabella sings on top of a table. Holding onto Dylan. Both clearly drunk. "And we loveeeeeee WOLFHOUND!" They sing as well as the rest of the tavern.
Dylan helps her down as she continues to giggle. He wasn't as drunk as her. He could handle it better than she could. "Okay. I think it's time to get back home."
She groans. "Just another drink!" She wines.
He gently walks her out of the tavern.
Logan is sitting next to Ben.
"Come on! All I'm saying is the legend of the red lady could be real! Just go out to the lake next to the Wolf Statue. You'll see her." Ben tells Logan before taking a drink of his ale.
Logan groans as he swallows some ale.
"Hello handsome!" A female elf sits on Logan's lap. Her chest was showing a little. She knew as well so she tried to put them in his face.
He chuckles. "Sorry lass." He pushes her off. "I'm married now."
"Soon to be." Ben winks.
She nods. "Okay. Well when you become a widow you know where to find me." She blows him a kiss before walking off.
He groans as he puts his face to the table. "Why do I have to be married?!"
"Well you do have time. Maybe you can talk to your parents about it." Ben pats his back.
"Hopefully.." Logan sighs.
*Next Scene*
Isabella is giggling as she leans on Dylan.
He laughs as he walks her down the streets. "Come on. You got this."
"You know.." She stops moving her feet.
"Hey. Why'd you stop?" He asks as he looks back at her.
She groans as she leans against a building. She pushes her hair back. "It's just...that all this marriage thing is bull."
He notices her face. Tears ran down it. "Isabella.." He goes to her.
"It just sucks. I have to marry some guy just because its law." She laughs through her tears. "I hate living life right now."
He holds her. "I promise it'll be okay. Maybe if you talk to your mom she could help."
She holds onto him tight. "I hope.."

Skylar sits on the tree stump as she writes in her journal. The beautiful sky in the background.
"Princess! Your bedtime is soon." A guard yells up the tree to her.
She nods. "Thank you!"
*Next Scene*
Kat writes at her desk. She wore a light purple gown. Her hair down to her middle back.
"Come. Sleep." Derek kisses her neck.
"I know. But I must finish this letter. I'm going to send it to the kingdoms. I want to talk." She continues to write.
He nods. "Very well. Just when you are done come to bed." He kisses her before walking to the bed.
*Next Scene*
Dylan puts Isabella down on her bed. "There you go.."
She smiles. "Thanks.." She slowly drifts off to sleep.
He watches her. "So pretty.." He shakes his head. "Right.." He stands before walking to the door. He closes it.
"Werido.." Zelda walks out of the shadows. "Again kiddo?" She looks at Isabella. She sighs. "Okay.." She pulls the blanket over her with her teeth. "Goodnight." She cuddles up to her.
*Next Scene*
Logan waves goodbye to Ben before walking down the empty streets. He passes the Wolf Statue. He walks back. Staring up at him. "What the hell." He sighs as he looks around. "Red lady...red lady..." No one was in sight. He laughs. "Yeah just some story-" He freezes when he sees something red out of the corner of his eye. "Hmm?" He looks over but nothing. "God..get a hold of yourself!" He rubs his head. "Just go home and sleep." He begins to walk past between some houses but something grabs him. "Oof!" He gets pinned against the wall. "The he-"
"Shush!" Someone says as they stand in front of him. They wore a red cloak with a blade to Logan's throat.
He looks at them shocked. "Look maybe-" He winces as they press the blade against his skin. Causing some blood to run down.
"I said shush!" They whisper yell. "L-look! Just take me to your room! I'll explain more!"
He nods. "Okay!"
