Caia quickly ran back to where Chloe and Tanya were, and paused for a moment to catch her breath before speaking. "Could one of you help me please? My dad just came out to find out what was happening, but he collapsed in the street and I don't think I can carry him back to the hall alone." She said, gesturing back the way she came.

Tanya quickly stepped up, brushing her way past Chloe's spear she said, "Don't think that's an option."
She nodded at Caia and said, "Preston come along, we'll need your help too."
She needed to get away so they could start chasing after Edmund, if it took to long then the king would kill him before they had a chance to save his life. She was going to explain the plan to Preston as soon as they had the chance.

More spears popped up forming a cage. These bars were much thicker.
"I'm trying to help you stupid." Chloe said.
"You are going to run off no matter what I want to make sure you at least know enough to not get killed right away." She said.
"For now how about you help your friend there with her dad."

Tanya sighed, Preston was already leaving out of earshot she nodded, "Got it got it."
She started her way towards Caia and her dad's place in the main hall.

Preston approached Tiffany, his eyes never leaving the ground, a small crystal rolls over his knuckles, a habit he thought he gave up when he was 10. "Dad's been taken Mom. We need to head to the town center for now. He put Colleen in charge and, and, and... we're gonna figure out a way to get him back." The crystal drops from his hand and shatters on the floor as he embraces Tiffany, shaking "We're gonna get him back I swear, we're gonna find him."

Tiffany let out a heavy sigh and pulled Preston into a hug.
"Don't worry Preston, your father is a stronger man than you know." She said "I knew for a long time that the Empire would come for him." she said.
"Forget the hall for the moment." She said "I have something that I think you might need soon." She said letting go and heading into her bedroom.

Preston follows after her, "Why did they call him a traitor Mom? Please can you tell me what's going on? Dad talked like he knew the emperor."

"I'm not sure of the full details myself." Tiffany said "He'd never tell me everything but it seems your father held a potion in the Emperor's court when he was young." She struggled to drag a chest out from under the bed but managed to get it out along with a billowing cloud of dust.
Coughing as she opened it she began searching trough it.
"But after a dispute over some matter he left and came here."
She pulled a book out and brought it to Preston.
"He said to give this to you when they came for him."

Preston takes the book and opens it, pouring over what was written inside. "Maybe there's some kind of clue in here. Something we can use." All the emotion has left Preston's face as he begins to flip through the pages.

The pages were filled with runes. Preston could recognize a few but most were unfamiliar.
On some pages there were translations for some of them.

Preston sits down on the nearby bed with the book, focusing on what he recognized and what was translated. Flipping back and forth between the two. Trying to find similarities between them and those he didn't, taking time to note down those that were translated.

A few seemed to make sense but over all the words didn't seem to make any sense. They didn't come togather to form any sentences of any value.
"So anything?" Tiffany asked.

"It requires further study, and that needs time, something we don't have time for. We should head to that town hall for now. I may have ticked Colleen off, but there's something in here I know it." Preston closes the book and turns to Tiffany, "Let's go and see what Colleen is thinking, I'll keep researching this while we're there."

"You go on ahead, I'll make my way there." Tiffany said.
"I'm old and slow and won't add much I'm sure."

Preston hugs Tiffany tight, "Before I go, I want you to know that I'll be forever grateful to you Mom, you raised me like your own, and I couldn't ask for better parents. I will get Dad back, I promise."

"I doubt I could have asked for a better child." She said smiling kindly.

Preston smiles, "I'll be sure to come back and say goodbye before I head out after him, and I'll be sure to keep you updated on whatever we decide on in the meeting." and with that Preston leaves his home and begins to head once more to town hall.

As Preston arrived at the Town hall Coleen looked at him and frowned.
"Go get the others." She ordered.

"Nice to see you too." Preston mutters, as he does a 180 out of tho door and back to where the others were last seen. "Hey guys, got a weird book, can read like a third of it, let's head to the town hall to see what the plan is for now."

"Ah, good to see you, Preston." Caia replied, relieved that somebody else had arrived who could help. "Much as I'd love to head straight back to the hall, we're going to have to go and get my dad first. He collapsed just down the street, and I don't think I can carry him alone." She said, leading him and Tanya towards where her father was.
