The Mage

This was the mage? Kael looked at Marcela's raised face then at Arlo in disbelief. He could never doubt Arlo but he was finding it really hard to believe that the person who had destroyed the forest and possibly created the knife was the face that stared up at him, unbothered and beautiful.

When he had been following Arlo he had been certain that they would stop at Kassandra's cell but to his utter shock they were looking at Marcela who did not look surprised to see them.

To anyone who knew Marcela, they knew her to be a princess who was simply put a vapid woman who was only interested in the lastest fashions, the most expensive jewelry and being allowed to host tea parties in the garden with the daughters of the wealthiest people in the realm and being invited to parties where men could fawn over her beauty.
