A Horrible Truth by Treeza

Aleph Aries is to become the new Regent? It is with great concern that I here write down an account of his horrible deed. But undestand that I will be the first to go if he is elected, and I wish not to spend life in jail, just because I was unfortunate enough to witness the truth, and not powerful enough to defend myself now when times will change.

Here follow my account of the night where the virtues failed the lands: ... the festivities at Nujel'm were entering the late hours, and after a long evening of dance and joy, I began to feel the need for a comfortable place to sleep... even just a place to sleep, because I was truly tired. It was then I overheard a conversation between Molly and Smogg Azalin. They were about the leave to have a dinner at a nearby inn or taven. Normally I try avoid people of fame, but in this case I chose to follow, hoping that I would find myself a cheep bed for the night.

I followed quietly, and tried not to draw attention. I am none of importance and I know my place. The couple talked of the festivities as they walked out the palace gate and through the streets of Nujel'm We passed a small plaza where we turned left.

I still kept a low profile as I noticed a few armoured men escorting Molly from a distance in a discreete manner, and I would not like to be seen as stalking the couple.

It was then I entered the Silver Bow, only seconds after Molly and Smogg Azalin. I was met by a sight of horror.

At the floor I saw the Dead Body of a Lady, There was blood all over her. Her face was pale and her lips were red as blood were running from her mouth. I recognized her as Queen Lipstick! I looked in shock! She did not look back of course. For she was dead.. but someone else did. For by her body stood a man, his eyes fixed with my own, The man was stained with blood, and so was his axe. The axe glowing with the incriptions by the "Hand of Evil". He stared at me still. Then I realized my days were numbered. He would never let me off, for I knew! He would hunt me down for he was too important, and I was not. He was Aleph Aries!

I broke the eye contact. Soon more arrived and accusations were thrown back and forth. I hurried to leave as unnoticed as possible. I know I am not a man of importance, but by the virtues I hope the bane of Queen Lipstick, Aleph Aries will not rise to power, for it will surly be doom for both myself and my family. He would never forget my face. I would never forget his.
