Willow turned sharply when he spoke again, “I will not hear another word of it Novakon… I thought you where different… and your not because I was completely mistaken… You condemning that child to living a life in a world with a monster… and if she was my child I would take her from you and leave… I would never put my child in such a position… I’m returning to my Domain in the morning… I do not think I will be traveling to your domain again…” She said looking very upset with him.

He looked at her still. His features not changing one bit. She was so close minded about this and obviously blind to what was going on. She hadn't heard what he had said about his position with the acids. He licked his lips and sighed. His eyes locked to hers, and she saw something new....Fear. " I'm...I....Willow I wish you to become.....my bride. "

Willow went still when he asked her to be his bride. For a long moment she looked at him unable to speak and then her eyes filled with tears, “…Novakon… you are the cruelest man… How… how Dare you ask me that after what you’ve said here to me… How dare you… had it not been for what you said… I’d of gladly of accepted… but you’ve shown me that you aren’t the man I thought I knew… and… I don’t want to see you unless it is for politics… you’ve broken my heart” She said turning away in tears and rushed from the dining hall. She made her way out into the hall as she used her handkerchief to wipe her cheeks as tears rolled down them. He had made her so angry with what he said about Talon and had wished he had simply left it alone.

He swallowed and lowered his head. He could have guessed that would hit him. So much for following the heart. He stood and slowly made his way back upstairs to his room. With the gaurds still there and alert. He smiled and let them leave the room and he sat near the window. He screwed up again as always. He had fallen for Willow, and wanted her in his life. And in his daughters life. But what happened today.....he just can't let someone that seems so and confused be punished for what obviously is a set up.

Willow had returned to her room where she laid out on her bed and cried into her pillow. She was devastated because she had deep feelings for Novakon and in a single moment he could ruin everything. She wished he had just asked her and ignored everything else and now she was broken hearted and feeling more alone then ever. Rose was still sound asleep when Novakon returned to his room, he didn’t get his dinner with Willow, and Rose was still without a mother figure, especially if he let Willow walk out of his life for good, and Rose would be angry with him if willow stopped visiting as well.

He stared out over the wind domain. Why did everything around him wind up in ruin? His wife, his pride as a king, his strength as a leader. Everything was falling apart and his family was still incompletel. He growled and stood. He looked at his daughter, she would be so angry at him. He opened the door and had the two gaurds resume watch over his daughter. He went to where Willow was staying and knocked on the door. Damn it all he would make her see his point, to try and make her understand his heart. If nothing else try to help her see that he wanted a family and that he wanted what once had been his.

Rose didn’t notice him leave again and was once more in the care of the elites, and yet she had no idea what her Father was putting himself throught for not just her happiness but his own. Willw sat up in bed when she heard someone knock and sent a guard to open the door. “My lord” The lightning soldier said to him letting him into the room and motioned for him to go and see Willow. Willow pulled a pillow to her large chest and sniffled slightly, she was feeling miserable and the last thing she want to talk about was Oberon and Talon.

He was allowed in and asked the gaurd to await just outside the door. Then he walked in and sat at the foot of the bed and stared at the floor. This was going to be one of the hardest things he would ever do and he was wondering if he would be able to do it. He breathed in and out slowly and it was quite evident he was nervous, scared and unsure of himself. Something that she had never seen in him.

Seeing him enter her room she sat up a bit surprised he was there. As he took a seat at the end of her bed and gazed at the floor, “… Don’t you say it Novakon… don’t even say their names or I’ll make my guards throw you out of here…” She said out loud. She didn’t want to hear any more about the trial, or about Oberon. The evidence that had been put in front of her had been laid out well and she wasn’t going to change her mind about it. She held the pillow to her chest as she sat on the bed listening to the silence fall between them, even hearing the sound of him breathing. Her beautiful golden eyes looked a bit pink from her crying, and her cheeks where still glistening wet from her tears.

" Willow, would....you have a man that was untrue to his heart and to his beleifs? Could you love a man that bowed to the whims of another for the sake of protecting his family when he is stronger than the one he bows to? "

Willow looked at him as he began to speak listening to the sorrow in his voice. At first she didn’t know what to say, another long silence fell between them again. Finally she found the words and spoke up, “…Novakon… It’s not just a man that I love… for loving simply is just an emotion… But I don’t just love a man… Novakon… I love you…” She said to him softly. “I hate the fact you… say the things that go against what I’ve decided is best for me… and for my domain… and I wish you had only asked me to be… to be your bride without all of that other complicated speech… My heart… feels…. Betrayed and broken… that isn’t the feeling I wanted to get when… when a man who loved me asked me to marry him… my tears should have been ones of happiness… not pain.”

He nods as she replied to him. He understood her point but did she understand his? " Do you not think I considered that? If i had not have told you what I felt first, don't you think it would have made it worse? For months now I have been fighting my own heart and soul over what is right and wrong. I'm tired of bowing down to what is wrong. I would not be worth loving if I continued living and believing in what was wrong. I have made so many mistakes in my life that I have never recovered from the results. In the last months we have seen each other I have fallen more and more in love. Our standpoints may be different, but should that matter? "
He sighed and his was one shaken and still full of sorrow and fear. He knew everything else would now be up to her. Should she choose to take him as he is now or as he was. He at least gave what he had to her. No matter what the choice she made, he had one last thing he would ask of her.

She listened to him fearful he’d bring it up again and it made it harder for her to listen to his words, “I cannot… marry a man who doesn’t see what’s right in front of him… and if you pull your domain back now and try to fight the fact peace is finally happening between our domains… I will be forced to send my armies into the fire domain… And for Roses safety and for the sake of her growing up to a good proper future… I will take her from you by force… Lady Fire wouldn’t have wanted her daughter dropped into the middle of a war, nor raised by a Father who is willing to subject her to see that sort of violence first hand, and even risk her life because he seems to think Oberon is wrong in making peace this way. Don’t make me do that to you Novakon… don’t make me have to turn against… the man who has stolen my heart”

He listened to her. But some of her words sparked his anger, especially when she threatened to take his daughter from him. A mistake no one ever lived through. When he spoke again she heard the strain of control of his anger in his voice. " I am pulling out because of what I feel. I am tired of this war over the divine. I want no part in it any more. But to see injustice done makes me sick. If anyone want's my support let them ask for it without threats. And the only way anyone takes my daughter from me....is when I'm dead. I'll support your choices, but this war is no longer my concern. I lost my wife because of that and my own fear. Should you choose to look over what I decide and see an enemy, Rose will have her brother to guard her. My life means nothing compared to keeping her safe. Plain and simple, I don't like what I'm seeing, hearing and being made to do. I want out of it all. If I can't my allegiance will not be with Acids, but with you or none at all. "

Willow closed her eyes, his words where all she needed to hear, “I am sorry that is has come to this Novakon… I wish things could have been different… but I’ve decided to ally myself with the Acid Domain. You may not care what happens to the Divine but I was raised to know what she is, what she’s capable of… she’s reached her first transformation… and is the youngest Divine to ever do so. If it is to be war between us then I suppose there is no other option… I pray to the Divine that my heart not grow bitter from this evening… bitter for a man who made me love him but is throwing it all away because of his personal feelings towards the Divine… It isn’t her fault Kitiara was killed Novakon… and if she was here with us now she would be so disappointed in you… Now if you could please go… my heart is already broken… I don’t know what more you could take from me”
