Ava: I guess it makes sense

Rosary: * She starts punching a tree until both her fists are bloody *

*Nikolai laughs
Politics and the faith have been entangled for centuries. Some chose to play one side, either politics or faith. but I believe the best players, pander to both sides.

(If you think about it, Joanna pressured Amy to take the Walk of Faith when she became Queen, playing to the religious side, reinstating the Adviser of Faith)

Young Nikolai:My Queen, we feel we do not have a big enough voice in the Kingdom for the amount of support we give.

Joanna:You have more input then some of my allies.

Young Nikolai:Foreign allies with no claims to Frestos. Sell swords at best.

Joanna:*adjusts in her throne
So what? Ive given you the Adviser of Faith back, a leader of a great religious House. What more do you want?

Young Nikolai:We provide over half of your army.

Joanna:Im aware.

Young Nikolai:Without our army, you are not the Queen.

Joanna:Then follow the Young Queen and the SwampWitch. Youll be eating alligator and youll get  pricked with a Thorn in a month.

*Katrina lets out a sigh
Girls, keep working. Im going to find her.

Ava: So you play both sides

Rosary: * Looks at her  bloodied hands breathing in and out heavily *

Unknown Voice: You ok Rosary

* She Turns around to See Kennedy, Shapiro, Sinclair and  Rubio, Shapiro is petting him *

Kennedy: We heard you screaming from the camp

Nikolai:Playing both sides would entail the faith and the crown are working against each other. They haven't worked this well together in forty years. I simply am not afraid to work together instead of working apart.

Young Nikolai: My Que-

Joanna:Enough. I will not sit here and be told by some mob of religious fanatics they need more power.

Young Nikolai:*turns to the men and they begin chatting as Joanna stares at them, with no Jorgen to keep her in check

Ava: Ah...I see

Rosary: Can't you see, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING

Shapiro: You may want to calm down

Kennedy: What happened to your hands

Rosary; * Breaths Heavily and looks at her hands * I...ugh

Kennedy: You need to work on your anger issues

Rosary: Shut the fuck up Kennedy

Joanna:Have you anything else to say?

*Young Nikolai turns around
Young Nikolai:My Queen, we feel we are carrying this war for you. We feel we deserve more credit and recognition then we are getting.

Joanna:Tell them to bring me all of their eldest sons. Ill give them all knighthoods. Including yourself Nikolai, bring your son.

Young Nikolai:My son is only 10, has he earned a knighthood?

Joanna:I'm sure if he is half the solider you are, he will earn it ten times over.

*Young Nikolai turns to the men and they all nod their heads in approval

Young Nikolai:We will bring our eldest son's to be knighted. Most of them live in northern Kingston with the religious families. A few live here in the east in Kingston.

Joanna:*nods
Safe travels home.

* Rubio walks up to Rosary and sits next to her *

*Rashka and Troy take their turn watching the siege so Sharie can sleep, they sit in each other's arms, Rashka resting her head on Troy's shoulder

*Snake walks out from the keep

Snake:No more wait. I will end.

*Rashka stands up
Snake, what are you doing?

*Snake draws her bow and begins walking toward the shore line
*Troy stands up as well and begins following her

Snake:*fires an arrow and Jorgen and Logan's ship, hitting one of the men in the chest, his dead body falls off the boat

Jorgen:Lock.
*his men grab arrows and put them in their bows

*Snake fires another arrow and hits another man

Jorgen:Draw.
*his men draw their bows back and begin aiming

*Troy begins commanding the people of the Swamps
Forward, lock, draw, and fire at will.
*the Swampland soldiers begin firing wild shots

Jorgen:FIRE
*arrows begin swarming around Snake, three arrows hit her chest plate and the arrows break, one hits her leg, she drops for a minute, pulls it out and stands back up

Logan: * Fires his Arrows *

*Rashka comes back to Troy's side and Braken comes running past them to Snake's side

Braken:SNAKE, THIS ISN'T THE WAY

*Snake turns

Braken:The water is too deep to walk up there.

Snake:*turns
We must save Swamps!

Braken:Not this way Snake come back!

*Snake fires another arrow and begins walking back
