BREAKING NEWS: The King is Dead by Max Araya
Inverness Castle- Reports are still premature, but it appears that King Duncan has been killed at midnight. The King has reportedly been stabbed multiple times. King Duncan was staying at Inverness Castle as guests of the Macbeth’s. The king stayed with Macbeth after promoting him to Thane of Cawdor after he fought bravely for his King.
The suspected murderers are either the servants that were sleeping in the King’s chamber or even the King’s sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, who fled the castle the morning of the killing. Malcolm has fled south to England and Donalbain has fled to Ireland.
The servants, however, are also suspected and are in a tight spot along with Donalbain and Malcolm. The servants spent the night in the Kings chamber, armed. They were found in the morning still sleeping with bloodied daggers in their presence. Lennox had this to say about the murder: “Those of his chamber, as it seemed, had done’t. Their hands and faces were all badged with blood. So were their daggers, which unwiped we found upon their pillows. They stared and were distracted. No man’s life was to be trusted with them.”
Macbeth also seems to agree with Lennox by suspecting the servants as the murders. He agreed with Lennox so much so that he decided to kill the servants himself. Macbeth says that in his rage over the death of the King he killed the servants himself. When asked about the murder of the servants , Macbeth replied, “ O, yet I do repent me of my fury, that I did kill them.”
With the death of the King, a new King must be chosen. It is likely that the new King will be chosen within these next few days. With Malcolm and Donalbain out of the picture, Macbeth stands as the likely forerunner to the throne.—Max Araya

BREAKING NEWS: A Second Murder in Inverness Castle Area by Max Araya
Inverness Castle - Only mere hours after the murder of King Duncan, a second murder has been reported near the Inverness Castle. Banquo, while on a trip through the woods on horseback with his son Fleance, was killed. Banquo was stabbed mercilessly until all life escaped him, but his son Fleance was able to flee the scene.
Many suspect Fleance as the murderer because Fleance was the last person to be seen with Banquo. Fleance also fled from the crime scene and has been missing since he left with Banquo on the horses. The murderer’s motives, whoever it may be, for the murder of Banquo is unknown. No one has seen, nor heard of the whereabouts of Fleance
Although Fleance is suspected of the murder of his father, some even suspect the two murders to be relevant and interconnected. People have yet to string the bits together, however.
Lennox, on the other hand, is putting the bits together. He suspects Macbeth as the man behind both murders. He doesn’t believe that the King’s sons would kill their own father. Lennox says, “ Who cannot want the thought how monstrous it was for Malcolm and for Donalbain to kill their gracious father?” Lennox recalls the event of Macbeth killing the two “suspected” servants as a suspicious action taken by Macbeth. Lennox believes that Macbeth had killed the servants so that they would not be able to deny it. Lennox justifies his thoughts this theory by saying , “For ‘twould have angered any heart alive to hear the men deny it.” Lennox also believes that with the murder of Banquo, the same applies to Fleance. He believes that a son would never kill his father and that neither Fleance or Malcolm and Donalbain killed their fathers. Lennox goes on to call Macbeth a tyrant.
If these two murders are in fact interconnected, we may be headed for violent times. –Max Araya
