[Vian Skyfire]

---

Vian starred at the two daggers that lay on the table before him. They were very ornate in design, and Vian could feel power pulsating from each of them, something he wouldn't have noticed six months ago.

In addition to the words "nemo me impune necessit", each handle had a different name carved in fine cursive.
Zarlox was one. Sadira the other. The names of his parents.

Vian was furious it had taken this long for him to find out about the daggers. They were calling cards of death from the Lich Lord Darrien Church. This was the same Lich Lord the King was supposed to be off fighting, yet these daggers showed up after the King had left.

Even more disturbing was the fact that no one had done anything more than a preliminary investigation about it. The lives of seven Skyfires had been threatened, and people had just gone about their business.

Absurd.

Whether the people that had not followed up on the situation were scarred, being influenced by evil, losing their minds, or just plain lazy, Vian would not stand for it.

Picking up the two daggers and stashing them away in his belt, Vian made his way to the barracks. He knew the men that were on guard that night well.

Walking through the barracks Vian came upon four off duty guards playing a game of dice.

"William" he said in a stern voice "tell me everything you know about the night these showed up"

The young prince flung the two calling cards into the table the men had been using. William, still with the dice in his hand looked up slowly and swallowed.

"Well sire..."
