These ungrateful swine are looking at me like I’m the enemy.

Do you expect them to look happy? We just lost our first battle in years, Ares.

A battle we should have won. These fools humiliated their empire today. We caught the Thorns off guard and still lost.

My King, do I have permission to speak in your presence?

Thank you, your grace. I must ask, are there any more medicinal supplies for the sick and injured? We’re running low and have resorted to stretching our resources thin… too thin.

We… we don’t have enough for the number of injured soldiers that returned from tonight’s battle.

No. We’re running low and we must ration what we have.

Please, my King, we don’t have enough! We need more painkillers, more herbs for infection! My wife may have a blood infection, and we have nothing to stop it!

If you all weren't so poorly prepared for tonight’s battle, a battle we’ve known about for months, maybe you wouldn’t be in your current predicament.

Ares, we can’t accept that! We need more medics, more medical supplies! If your soldiers weren’t killed in combat, they’ll surely die from infection!

Be weary of your tone in the presence of the King.

I apologize, Vixy. My King. I only wish to raise awareness about our current situation.

There is no situation. Everything is fine, and you will just have to work with the supplies you already have. I will not hear of this any of this-

Name one soldier who didn’t return wounded, we need more medics!

Your injuries are nobody’s fault but your own! I’ve never seen such unprofessionalism, so much disorganization, so much weakness. You all have embarrassed the name of the Cursed Empire, and should be ashamed of how terribly you fought on the battlefield!

Your injuries are punishment enough, but if I hear one more word of defiance, I’ll make you sorry you even thought about opening your mouth!

Tonight, when he’s not around, a small group of you need to go south and collect more moss. We may be out of gauze, but moss is plentiful and just as absorbent. Another group needs to travel east, there are many bushels of poppy flowers close to the ravine.

Grab as much as you can – curses know we’re going to need painkillers to sleep soundly tonight. Another group must travel north. I remember there used to be oregano and coneflower blooming this time of year. Those can be used for antibiotics for the time being.

Ares may be blind to the effort you all put forth today, but I saw it clear as day. I’m proud of all of your determination, especially considering the circumstances.

We wouldn’t be able to do it without you.

He’s waking up! Go on, give him some room. Last thing we want to do is scare him by breathing down his neck.

Go bring the royals in, I’m sure Lunis and Apollo will want to see him.

(Flashback) Hurt me Jack, maim me! I'll kill her if you don't stop me!

Mom would be disgusted with who you've become, Vivian.

You fought valiantly, Jackson. I saw you taking down those Cursed soldiers like it was nothing. I wanted to be the first to tell you that. You should be proud.

You’ve been in and out for over a week. The worst of your recovery is over though, but you’ll have a nasty scar from here on out.

Was it a cursed soldier who did all of this to you?

Could have been multiple. I saw him fighting, there’s no way just one cat could have done this to him.

*Wince* I have to tell you all something.

Dusk, I know you saw me fighting alongside Lunis during the battle. I’m not that strong on my own.

What are you talking about? I saw you take down multiple soldiers like it was second nature for you, of course you could do it by yourself.

You two know. What’s the only way to become cursed?

Vivian and I aren’t only refugees, but heirs to the Cursed Empire. Iris escaped when we were young, hoping to find safety for us here with the Thorns, but… that wasn’t the case… for any of us.

My sister and I reunited with Ares almost a year ago. She and I…

*Sigh* She and I… would run off during the night while everyone was asleep to meet with him. He trained us for months so that we’d be suited for whatever he needed us to do.

Lunis, Apollo. The night you found me with my eye scar was the night I disbanded from Ares.

He was hurting people, and I was done being a part of it.

And it took you almost a year to realize that?

I was never loyal to Ares, if that’s what you’re implying. I only trained with him to make sure that Vivian wasn’t in harm’s way. I left the moment I realized that she was far more eager to plan and scheme with Ares than have any connection with me.

Jackson, what exactly did she plan with Ares? What did you plan with Ares?

Ares gave me orders to assassinate Lunis. When I refused, he gave me this eye scar as punishment, which also gave me the curse.

So… that’s what you meant by a target over my head.

Vivian… was in charge of assassinating the Queen. She… she is the one who gave me these injuries. She was angry I left her, angry that I got the curse, angry about a lot.

Jackson, what about my husband? Was it Ares?

I- I can’t even begin to say how sorry I am. I should have-

I… didn’t want to be exiled, Lunis… I didn’t want you guys to think I’d abandon you for Ares, or god forbid, my sister. You guys would’ve killed me if you knew what was happening!

No. You don’t get to apologize your way out of this one. That's not how this works. It might have worked before but not this time.

This could have been prevented if you would have said something!

Something, anything! God Jackson, after all we've been through! Do I really make you feel like you can’t come to me about this stuff? Like you can’t communicate honestly with me?

I thought we were closer than that. God, I'm so stupid. *Nervous laughter*

Lunis… no-no!. No way! I’ve always felt safe here with all of you!

You were the only one of us who ever really was safe, Jack.

I-I promise you, I promise you both, I’ll do anything I can to fix this! Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it.

And how exactly would you do that? Because from where I’m standing, I see a traitorous spy who spent his time befriending my children so he could help his father murder my entire family.

He’s a kid, Hesia. A scared, dumb kid who just confessed everything to a room full of people that have been training to kill cats twice his size. If his goal was to be a threat, he just failed.

I don’t care, Caroline! What he did is already done. He deserves to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his natural life, only to be cursed by whatever may come after! No lesser punishment could honor my late husband’s death!

He wasn’t the one who killed him, Hesia. You’re misconstruing his words.

He didn’t come to us with the information that could have saved his life. He knew about the assassination plot against my daughter. Against me. He made the choice to not say anything. He may not be the kingslayer, but he’s just as guilty in my eyes

My husband is in the ground because of his foolishness.

Augustus was Jackson’s biggest fan, Hesia. He was so proud of him. One of the last things Augustus asked me was about how Jackson was adjusting. As far as Augustus was concerned, this has always been Jackson’s home. We’ve always been his family. He would have wanted Jackson to know that.

He was my brother, Hesia. I miss him too.

*Sigh* Okay. She’ll need some time before she can truly confront how she is feeling. As for all of you, a decision based in grief is never a wise one.

You can stay for now, but my authority can’t dictate what your future here will look like. Best of luck to all of you.

I know you’re not evil, Jackson. You just screwed up big time, and now you have to live with their father’s blood on your paws. I really do hope you’ll find a way to reconcile. As much as you can.

Jackson. I know what you are, deep down. You sacrificed yourself for Apollo and me weeks ago when Vivian was still around. You said you’d give your life to defend us.

No traitor would work that hard to convince a pair of fake friends.

We’ll help you clear your name, we owe you that much.

But don’t think of this as us letting you off the hook. You’re not forgiven.

You very well may be the reason for all of the unrest washing over the kingdom right now… but you are no traitor. You just made a stupid choice. A stupid, deadly choice, and we all have to deal with it.
