"You don't realize what you ask." If there were any rumors that reached his ears, it was that Imre was more than protective of his children. And Michael was the oldest of said children, the first and the one he'd been around the longest. There was no way that Imre would just let him get away with whisking him off.

Michael began to cough more oftn, in between his words as he attempted to explain himself. All morning he had felt sort of uneasy, and now he felt like all of his energy was being drained from him for some reason.
"I ask to escape, soething ill is coming to this place, and I wish to be gone before it arrives.... "

"Your father will come after me.." he said quietly, gripping his nephews arm a bit, thinking that he looked like he was about to fall. Imre would come and try to kill him most likely, but if that was what he needed... He nodded and sighed. "I'll take you back with me, though we may have to stop for me to rest." He was going to have to take the egg back with him as well.

All of a sudden, everything around hi started to spin and melt away, but he stood string and nodded with his answer, but something told him that all was not right, and he soon had a splitting headache, and his coughs turned into dryheaves as a raging fever began to grow within him.
Off in the distance, on the staircase, was a shadow, tall and thin, and as it watched the boy suffer, it turned away slowly and melded into the shadows.

"Damnit.." Catching Michael, he turned and grabbed the egg closest to him, hefting it up and then carrying his nephew and the egg back through the corridor, tiptoing past Crossell before making his way up the stairs. This wasn't his intention, running off with one of his brother's children and possibly getting himself into a terrible fight, even a war because of it.

Somethng entirly unexpected happened just as the king reached the top of the stairs. The shadow appeared once ore, now in the form of a very beautiful looking woman, her ski fair and her eyes empty. Her hair hung from her bun in small golden blonde curled locks. She was attired in a long flowing white gown, a slight smile gracing her small lips.
"What do you plan on doing with young Michael?" Her voice was soft and kind, but held a secret darker than any could have expected.

"Helping him run away from a place he no longer wishes to be." He was old enough to make his own decisions, Kasch supposed, so it wasn't REALLY running away, just sort of, branching out on his own... to his uncle's..That wasn't generally how things worked of course, but, what could you do? "I hope you aren't planning on stopping me."

The woman smiled softly again, kind of an eerie grin as she walked foreward and touched the coughing boy, strokig his cheek as he whispered his last few words. ".. M-mother.. what have... you..."
Michael fell suddenly silent, his coughs silenced, and the woman placed a soft kiss onto his forehead. "He'll never escape this place... as he has not a foot to stand on." Her voice turned suddenly dark, smirking at the Shadow King as her son's life slipped away. "What have you done Kasch?" She said in a more sarcastic voice than anything. "You've -killed- the prince..."

Crouching, he set the boy down gently and stroked his face. Even though he'd never met him before this, he felt so strangely attached to the boy. Turning his eyes up, the dark orbs were utterly furious, practically glowing in the darkness as he stood up. And then, the worst thing of all happened. Kasch smiled. A sinister, knowing and evil smile. "You will soon know what hell is truly like."
Moving past her with ease, he crouched, shoving off the balcony and spreading his wings, heading back to his castle.

The wman knelt and kissed her cold son softly on the forehead, gathering him into her arms as she sat the small bottle down onto the floor, the bottle of poison she had put into his food that morning, and as the sound of her husbands footsteps came nearer, she forced herself to cry, screaming out Imre's name in horror.
"Kasch! Kasch has killed our prince! Michael is dead...."
Beautiful and corrupt, one so unsuspecting and innocent, the one who would start the bloodwars, the Queen.
