"Yes, mistress." Harlow said a nod. "Do you need anything else of me before that?" He asked.

"No." Adella waved him away. "Just hurry. Come back swiftly. Don't dally, Harlow. And close the door behind you. I don't need any Peeping Toms."
group
"Yes, mistress." Harlow said with a bow before leaving, making sure you pull the door shut behind him.
He hurried down to the stables. "Saddle your best horse," He told the stable boy. "And find the best messenger. The Queens needs someone to retrieve Wizard Deniw as quickly as possible."

Adella waved her hand, and the door locked with a wave of magic. She looked over at the flowers brought into her throne room by peasants begging for mercy. She scoffed, waving a hand. Magic flowed from her hand - black in colour - and killed the flowers.
group
A messengar was brought into the barn by another stable boy. "You are to fetch the Wizard Deniw as quick as possible." Harlow explained as the messenger got onto the horse. "If he refuses to come, use any means to bring him here. Just make sure he is can speak and do magic."
The messenger nodded before riding off.

Adella sighed angrily, stomping her foot. Harlow was taking too long. "HARLOW!" She yelled once more, magic making her voice carry. "HARLOW!"
group
Harlow sprint back up to the castle as fast as her could, not slowing down or stopping for anyone. He only stopped when he reached the, locked, throne room doors. He knocked.

Adella unlocked the doors, locking it again once Harlow was inside. "You took too long," She spat, eyes narrow. "What do you take me for?"
group
Harlow walked in, not taking too much notice of the doors locking. The queen did like her privacy.
"I'm not quite sure what you mean, mistress." He said, his voice calm. "I did exactly what you asked as quick as I could."

"Well not quick enough," Adella spat again. "You need to work on being quicker, Harlow. I will not accept it. Get better or I will replace you."
group
Harlow nodded, not taking his eyes off her for a second. "Yes, mistress." He said, holding his arms being his back.

"Now…who did you send?" Adella asked. "Please tell me that it was someone adequate. One of our best knights. Deniw is powerful, if he refuses to come, a simple messenger won't suffice."
group
"I sent our best messenger." Harlow said, the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. He knew he had messed up, and knew he was going to get it, bad. With mistress already in a bad mood…he knew he was in trouble.
"Though speed would be better at the moment."

"I didn't ask for speed, Harlow." She sighed, sitting on her throne. "If this messenger fails to bring back Deniw, consider yourself dead. Your head will be put on a platter."
group
Harlow nodded. "Yes, mistress." He said, his voice slightly quieter than usual. "Is there anything else you require me for?"

"Ah, yes. Go find fresh flowers to replace these ones. And hurry. Don't take too long."
group
"Yes, mistress ." Harlow said, before collecting the case with the dead plants and hurrying out of the room. He threw out the dead flowers and went out to the garden to pick more flowers.
He quickly picked the flowers, placed them into the case and hurried back into the throne room. He placed the new flowers where the old ones were.

While Harlow was gone, Adella threw up a screen of magic. Behind it, she began to pace again. She was worried. If Deniw didn't come, she didn't know what she would do. At this rater, she could be dead by next week.
group
Harlow let out a sigh once he set the flowers down. It felt like the first breath he had since the queen first called him in.
"If one messenger isn't going to be able to get Wizard Deniw, then I guess I'll have to help him." Harlow muttered as he left the room. Hopefully he could catch up with the messenger in a bird form.
This was going to be a long night.

(sorry for the late reply, i was really distracted yesterday)
Adella let out a scream as well as a wave of magic. The scream echoed through the castle, leaving an eerie quiet once it left. Anyone who paid close attention to the scream could tell it was filled with pain and fear.
group
Harlow flinched when he heard the scream. He was just outside the door when it happened. He wanted to turn back around to check and make sure the queen, but he needed to catch up with the messenger.
Harlow turned around and knocked on the door. "Mistress?"

"WHAT?!" Adella yelled, a blast of magic making the door fly off it's hinges. She stood angrily with a hand held up at Harlow, black magic swirling around it.
group
When the door came flying, it hit Harlow, hard. He tumbled to the floor, knocking the breath out of him. Once he regained his ability to breath again, he quickly got up and scurried. It looked like the queen wasn't dead, but she needed help.
Wizard Deniw was probably the one who could do that. He found the nearest window. He shifted into a crow before taking off from the window, in hopes to catcheck up to the messenger.

When Adella realised that the door hit Harlow, she actually felt a bit of pain. He was one of the only people who didn't fear her because of being the Dark Queen, he feared her because she was scary. And that made her feel better. She didn't like hurting him.

(Should we do a time skip till when Harlow gets back in the morning?)

Harlow trudged through the palace with the messenger and Wizard Deniw not far behind. It had taken about an hour of arguing and a hefty sum of money that Harlow offered for the wizard to agree to come with.
Harlow was exhausted. He flew all the way there, making it not too much after the messenger, and had to walk all the way back.

Adella looked out the window in her chambers. She hoped that Deniw had agreed to come, as she had woken up with the mark of dark magic creeping over her shoulder. She'd hidden it.
group
Harlow lead Wizard Deniw to the throne room. "Please wait in here while I fetch the queen." He said before heading to the Queens quarters.
Harlow knocked on Adella's door. "Misstres? Wizard Deniw is here." He spoke, trying to hide his exhaustion.

(hey sorry, i've been really busy lately)
Adella shook herself off, walking over the door. She opened it with a stern look on her face, her black crown glinting softly against the sun behind her.
