I heard a loud knock on the door, if it was any fainter I probably wouldn't have heard it not with the way I enfolded in the blanket. I stiffen immediately, the supposed they were at the door. The house became deathly silent at the knock and it wasn't until I heard the door open that I realized I had been holding my breath.
"What are you doing here Alaric?" From the sound of her voice, I could tell she wasn't pleased. I smirked at my thin walls who would have thought it would come in handy.
"Princess!" The voice sounded genuinely surprised to see her.
"Cut the act Alaric, you knew I would be here. Why else would you set out with almost an army with you?"
"This can hardly be called an army and there is no doubt that we are no match for you my Princess.'
"Don't beat around the bush. Why are you here?"
"The Sage requests that you come home."
"You're kidding. Home?" She laughed before adding' "So where exactly is this home he speaks of?"
