Sacrimony

PANEL 1: Khajad begins to run off as instructed by Yunika. "Later, mama!" she says. Yunika turns to face her pursuers, looking brave and determined.

PANEL 2: Yunika's demeanor changes completely. She looks nervously cheerful as she says "Hi! Uhhh.. lovely weather, isn't it?"

PANEL 3: Two guards stand, looking down at Yunika. They wear white helmets with white tunics, black chainmail and long red capes. The first guard says "Yes. But that's not why we're here. Aldenkirk is an honest city. We don't appreciate beggars like you stealing money from hard-working citizens."

The second guard adds "Not to mention you're trying to live in the king's city without paying the kings taxes! We don't take kindly to leeches!"

PANEL 4: Yunika holds her hands out in front of her as to physically brace for something mentally horrible. "Surely there must be some sort of mistake. I never stole anything-"

The second guard cuts her off. "We don't like liars, either. I think you and that brat of yours should take a little trip to the dungeons for a while. That should set you straight.

"B-b-brat!?" Asks Yunika in surprise, knowing Khajad is also in trouble.

PANEL 5: Yunika looks over her shoulder to see a third guard pointing a loaded crossbow at Khajad who wants to move away from it. "Do. Not. Move." says the guard.

Khajad cries out for Yunika. "MAMA!"

Yunika grimaces. "No no no no no! This cannot be happening!"
