Arthur listened as Guinevère spoke of where Amaren was, and that Helios would die for their son. "Then he will die," Arthur stated bluntly, having no issue with that. Helios and forced a woman to wed him and claimed a son that was not his -- even if he didn't know it.

"Both you and Amaren will be free of his wrath," Arthur said confidently. "I will do whatever it takes to make it so." He didn't care how closely Helios was watching. Arthur was not going to let any harm come to them now that he was once again of this world. Was this not the purpose of his return? To save his family? To save the kingdom?

Then he would die. And Amaren would watch it happen? "I want nothing more then to be free of him, Arthur." She told him, looking at him with pleading in her face, "But we must do this with care! If he thinks we come for him, he will take him away. Nor do I wish to see Amaren's first impression of you to be the one of you killing the only father he knows."

She wanted Arthur to be Amaren's father! To teach him to the good int he world, not the bad. She wanted them to grow to love each other, and for Arthur to slow erase Helios from Amaren's mind. If her younger son saw his father kill the man he thought was is father, no matter how evil, then she feared it would never let them have a relationship. "I can't run until we are sure we can get away. I can't fail again, Arthur . . . . I can distract Helios, and you can get Amaren out . . . then come back for me." The last time she failed, 2 years ago, she'd paide a price she couldn't pay again.

She'd die first.

Arthur didn't miss the hints in her words, speaking of failing again that indicated she had tried this before. That there was inevitably a . . . consequence. But they would have time for that later. He did know that if they got Amaren out, Helios would not make it so easy to penetrate his home again. He would know, that they -- whoever he assumed they to be -- would come back for Gwen. They needed to do this now, for whoever Arthur left behind, he feared he would never see them again.

"I am not leaving you, Guinevère," he said, making it very clear that nothing would change his mind. While he loved his son, despite only finding out about him a matter of days ago . . . Guinevère was the only true parent he knew. And Arthur would rather die, then leave Guinevère here to face Helios' wrath. He had already abandoned his family years ago, he would not do it again. Hearing approaching footsteps, Arthur glanced at the door and back at her. He pulled her towards him for a quick, but passionate kiss. "I am not leaving," he repeated, and with that, quickly concealed himself on the other side of the door to one of the servant's entrances. He would remain close, to ensure no harm came to his wife.

[Guinevère]

He wasn’t leaving her. He was promising and she knew he meant it yet she was afraid. Her son—their son—was at stake. Helios was deadly, and she was afraid to lose anything more. Arthur pulled her toward him, and kissed her. The courage from knowing he was there—feeling that he was near—filled her up. She grabbed his shoulders and held on tight; and all too soon he stepped away. He promised he wasn’t leaving, even as he moved to the other of the servant’s door She watched the door where he disappeared behind. Her heart beat so hard, while she waited for whomever was coming.

Finally, the door opened, and Guinevère stood up straighter. Helios. “Hiding in your room?” he asked walking toward her. Guinevère had to use everything in her power to not look at the servant door. “Were you looking for me?” Helios came to stand before her, and Guinevère had to look up at him. Unlike with Arthur, the height didn’t make her feel protected; instead it made her feel small. “Yes, I don’t trust you when you disappear.” He said, with a smirk on his face. And right now, he had more reason to not trust her. "I assumed you'd spend every second with my son, and yet I find you up here away from him. What are you plotting, wife?"

"I am merly collecting myself. I do not wish him to see me upset." A lie, and judging by his face he knew it. "No," he said slowly, "I think you are trying to find a way to take my son from me." Guinevère felt her heart beat so hard as panic flickered in to her eyes. Helios' face grew angry. "I knew it was only a matter of time before you grew bold again." He hissed, stepping closer to her. "I have made no plans!" She told him, her panic growing more in her voice; knowing he would take Amaren sooner and she'd not get to him. Arthur wouldn't get to him! "You LIE!" Guinevère stepped back at his tone. "I'm not! I haven't tried since that night!" Moving closer, "I still have a few days with my son!"

Helios stepped even closer to her, "No, you have today with my son. We leave at dawn." Guinevère felt tears in her eyes but blinked them away. Dawn! Arthur had until dawn! She tried to stall him anyway! "Now, clean your face, and put on a smile. I wont have your tears making him want to stay. Show him, you want this." Helios lifted his hand, leaning his head down, and taking her mouth his his.

Guinevère froze, and Helios felt it. She'd never frozen. Pretend in the first few months, pulled away, turned away, with drew, but never froze. Lifting his head slightly, while keeping his face close to her's he looked into her eyes. She knew, that he knew, something was amidst.
