Castle Luxem

You think for a moment "Castle Luxem. My half-brother-"

"He's not really related to you by blood" Akina notes.

"My Half- Brother, Count Martin Loon. He'll take me in and protect us while we contemplate our next move." You nod. Count Martin is just a couple of years older than you and he would often make the trip in to the castle to visit with the rest of his family. If there's anybody who would possibly take you in, or believe you. It would be him.

"Then off to Luxem. We'll continue east out of the village and take a road northwest from there." she gets up and pulls her cloak on and you do the same and head downstairs.

Akina gives the key back to the innkeeper before the two of you head for the door. On the door was a note. It almost looked like a royal decree. She takes it and reads it. You see her pale significantly and she hands it to you, "I though the Innkeeper was eyeing me more suspiciously compared to this morning."

You take it and read it. It is a royal decree. You read it:

By Orders of King Donmal of Itheria:

A dangerous catfolk going by the name of Akina has fled the castle!
She's wanted for the violent **** of King Bryce of Itheria.
She's also wanted for the **** of King Bryce's daughter
Princess Anna. If you see this dangerous criminal, please report
Your findings to the city guard.

Any information leading to her capture or **** will be paid with
a 10 gold piece reward.Taking her dead or alive will grant you a
10,000 gold piece reward.

Long Live The King!

Your hands shake as you read the decree. "Domnal's alive..."

"Not the best place to talk. come on." she heads out the door and you follow her around behind the inn.

"You said that Donmal was murdered too, but clearly he's not." You point to his name on the decree.

Akina pulls her cloak off and wraps a cloth around her head, hiding her ears. "Do you really think that's Domnal? Your mother can change her form. It's likely that she murdered your family and took the form of the late heir, all so she could rule Itheria directly." She pulls her cloak back on and you see her wrap her tail around her waist. She's gone from looking like a dangerous rogue to a poor beggar. "Anna, I cant stop you if you decide to go back to the castle, but I highly suggest that you don't. That demon will kill you, or worse: Toy with you for the rest of your life."
