Down the hall, King Roergan and Duke Cladius were still discussing things, but one of them was of Omni; "So brother, what have you found out about this... young knight of yours?" Cladius asked as Roergan spoke, "The elder has done more research, but can only conclude that Omni is... some kind of celestial child at best and a daemon spawn at worse." he said.

"A daemon spawn?! And you let that thing near your family? I'm glad I sent my wife and child away." "Cladius, that is only if it is the worst possibility... as from what was seen before, my daughter's kindness soothed him when he was changed, so... she might be able to bring out the deity in him instead." Roergan said.

Cladius only scoffed, "Then I wish her all the luck of the gods to deal w/ him." he said as Roergan touched his shoulder while looking at him, "I am sure she will bring out the good in him, after all, she's show myself and others that Omni has a good soul, we were scared off by his appearance, rather than looking at what was inside." he said as Cladius looked away and thinks for a moment.

But then the 2 hear Omni's cries and began to rush to the guest room, where in this moment Omni shivered and cried as he sniffled, as something in him whispered, 'ShE Is nOt dEaD.' 'ThErE Is a cUrE.' he stopped w/ a sudden spark in his mind as he sniffed, "... this scent..." the lightly licked his lips, "... this taste..." he sat up in a trance before snapping too, "... I know..."

He looked to Nyaria and set her down, "I don't know how, but I know the cure, just be strong and wait for me." he said getting up and heads towards the door, the nearest guards burst open to the room as Omni rushed passed them, they look and see the princess on the floor, they go to her and see she's not breathing and automatically think Omni killed her and started to give chase.

As Roergan and Cladius turned the corner, the moved to the side as Omni, w/ tears in his eyes, ran past them w/ great haste, "Sir Omni?!" Roergan called out, but Omni didn't stop, he didn't have time to waste, Cladius sees the 2 guards and stops them, "What is going on?!" "Sire, we think that creature just killed the princess! She's not breathing at all!" they said w/ Roergan and Cladius look at them in shock.

"What are you waiting for?! After him?! Bring him back alive?!" Cladius shouted as the guards ran after while getting other guards to help give chase to catch Omni, Roergan was stunted at the news, "You said he has a good soul? Well, it appears he's showing his true colors, killing your daughter like some kind of assassin!" he said.

Roergan held his head for a moment thinking Cladius was right, but then remembered what he saw when Omni ran past them, tears and the look of concern, "... Cladius... he... Omni... would never harm my daughter. He would never harm the one he owes his life too." he said facing Cladius, "I know that my daughter means a lot to him."

"Are you mad, Roergan?! For all we know, he was a spy from some other country!" "A child couldn't be a spy at his age." "And what is his age, Roergan? How old is he?" Cladius asked as Roergan looked down to think, "... even you don't know how old he is. I was almost fooled by his innocence... but I'm not going to fall for it again." he said.

Cladius left to see about Omni's capture, Roergan stood there for a moment before calling for Eingrahm and heading to where his daughter lies, seeing her there w/ the goblets on the floor w/ the spill and the bottle of mead on the table, Roergan smelled the bottle, but couldn't get anything as Eingrahm couldn't figure out what happened to Nyaria.

Meanwhile Cladius' guard continued to chase Omni as he ran to get the cure, he didn't stop, all while tears were in his eyes, he panted heavily as he continued wanting to save Nyaria before it was too late, but for a moment he was thinking he'd not make it in time, since the cure was so far away that it would take 10 days to get there by foot.

He tripped and fell to the ground and breathed heavily, he felt like he was having trouble breathing as he laid there, "... Nyaria... I'm sorry... I... I can't get there in time." he said as he slightly closed his eyes and went slightly limp, but he then gripped his fists and looked forward w/ a determined look on his face, "No! I can't give up!" he said wiping the tears from his face, "I'm not letting Nyaria die!" he said getting up to run again.

The guards on their biwirks see Omni running and were catching up, "There he is!" "Come on, we've almost got him!" they said continuing to ride on faster towards Omni, while Omni was focusing on his task, "I have to go faster." Omni said to himself, "I have to save Nyaria!" he continued as he didn't notice as the guards were seeing his body begin to glow.

"I have to go faster! Faster!! Faster!!!" he said w/ his speed increasing drastically each time while his body was changing into his feral state that was more aerodynamic, "I WILL SAVE NYARIA!!!" he thought to himself as he dashed off, while the guards slowed then stopped seeing Omni disappear in the distance in seconds and were stunned at the sight, "Uh... who volunteers to tell the Duke about this?"
