- Sbongile: As the sunlight of early morn crept into the chamber of Malila, anyone entering could see it lacked the muscular and curvy but somehow frail frame of the princess. As her great beast awoke from his slumber on her bed and stretched the sleep from its great limbs, Malila slipped into the otherwise empty room. Her multi colored and tattoo covered skin was covered in dirt, leaves and twigs and her usually black two piece dress was an absolute disaster, covered in blood and torn up. Her long auburn hair was tied up and looked as messy as ever as her gaze skimmed her room with her deep hazel eyes before walking to her bed and flopped down onto the still made sheets. She kicked her shoes off and hugged her pillow as her panther laid next to her while she fell asleep.
- AlestraVascou: Ales was wandering through the library all night, and as usual had stayed up well into the dawn hours huddled in her favorite chair reading and old text on local lore. Her long brown hair was tied back from face and the deep purple gown she was wearing stood out against the pale moonstone quality of her skin and since she had not yet been able to get a new gown since she started to show, was slightly tighter around her midsection then she would have liked. The slight baby belly making her seem more innocent yet older at the same time. Placing her book down she yawned and stretched before standing and making her way to her bedroom to bathe and dress for the day
- Amy0w0: /me Light as a feather on her small hoofs Zhir wandered through the thick forest, the sweet song of birds floating around her as they watched her pass. Most animals were enchanted by Zhir like most Faun they loved her without thought. Shifting the strap of her quiver so it rested snugly between her breasts the her bow hung over her shoulder always at the ready, though Faun hardly ever carried weapons or even less likely wanted to use them Zhir was slightly different in that aspect but then she’d not been brought up by her own kind. Long thick and messy brown hair fell down her back ending just above her tail and laying over her bare breast ending just short of her belly button. Bright emerald green eyes gazed around the forest enjoying the newnes of it all, finally she spotted a waterfall ending in a large lake skipping over to it Zhir sat down at the water's edge.
- MiaRaecari: /me Peering through a gap in the leaves Mia stays as still as she can as she spots a strange creature approaching the lake. It had a human head but strange hooves. Mia couldn't understand what this creature could be. As it wandered closer she instinctively reached behind her back for her spear and held onto it tightly. The strange hoofed creature sat down by the lake and Mia tried to quietly take a step back but a twig snapped beneath her feet. "Fuck." She muttered under her breath as she knelt down beneath the leaves, in hope that the creature wouldn't notice her.
- Sbongile: Stirring from the bed, her beast rose up to his massive paws and carefully jumped from the cushiony softness of the bed before making its way to the door. With a low thunk and the sudden woosh of air, the heavy wooden door swung open with ease and gave enough space for the large beast to step into the hallway and sit by the door, seeming to keep watch as her older sister moved about the castle.~
- AlestraVascou: Once in her room she lit the fire herself and then readied the water for her bath on her own. Much to her maids dismay, Ales would not let a maid near her rooms when she knew that she could do whatever needed to be done without the additional disruption. She could hear her sister's companion walking in the corridors nearby and let out a sigh, whenever the paw sounds were not accompanied by her sister it meant she was still sleeping, and the beast was making sure Ales didn't disturb her.
- Amy0w0: /me Long pointed ears twitched her heightened sense pinpointed where the snapping sound had come from, without moving Zhir still as any statue her mind racing through all the possibilities in that fleeting moment. The smell of something not quite human was filling her nose brows knitting together as her body finally stuttered back to life, fauns were known for growing still and silent doing nothing as danger came at them, it was why most of them had died off. Cursing herself beneath her breath she calmly rose from the lake side the wind billowed around her lifting her heavy locks almost sending a chill through her, taking in a deep breath Zhir closed off her mind and did as she had been trained using her elgenat yet highly powerful legs she leaped back away her hoofs hitting the back of a thick oak tree as she used it to rebound off high in the air and now behind the intruders hiding spot an arrow already free from it's quiver and bow raised her eyes zeroed in on the small form curled in on itself. Breath hitching in her throat she did not let her arrow lose knowing she could kill her with one shot to the back of the neck, she wasn't a cold blooded killer.. but she wasn't harmless either letting her hoofs meet the ground she stood behind the female, she had done this all without a sound her Faun body unlikely suited for stealth like hunting but she'd honed her skills for years making herself the hunter and not the prey. Clearing her throat Zhir spoke eyes narrowed “Who are you and why are you here?”
- MiaRaecari: /me Mia lifted her head a little, to see through a gap in the leaves. She looked where she had just seen the creature, but she couldn't see it anywhere. Suddenly she heard a soft voice speak to her and Mia froze in fear. She felt her vision clouding over as her eyes turned black and she tried to fight her inner demon back. She turned around to face the strange creature and let out an involuntary as she shook her head slightly before answering, "My name is Mia.. I come here because it's the only peaceful spot I can find.." Mia unfists her hands and dusts off the back of her dress as she tries to take in the creature before her.
- Sbongile: Lila's beast, TC wandered down the hall in the direction of Ale's room and stopped to sit across the Chamber maid who waited outside the door rather impatiently. Meanwhile Lila had woken up enough to slip out of the scraps of fabric that was the last of her outfit and slid beneath her covers, her fresh wounds from the previous night healing slightly on their own as she rested.
- AlestraVascou: Settling into the bathe she dozed a bit. She had not been sleeping well since she had returned from her trip and it seemed the only place she seemed to be able to sleep at all was the tub, or the small pond in the forest. Her hair floated on the top of the water as she moved deeper.
- Amy0w0: /me The snarl was unexpected the smell changed ever so slightly raising the fur on the back of her neck, something told her to step back but that was probably her weak Faun instincts always warded her off anything threatening. Ignoring that feeling had become her daily task meeting the girls eyes she spoke truth Zhir had a knack for sniffing out lies so that meant.. “I disturbed you in your time of rest then.. I apologize for frightening you.” Securing the bow back in place her arrows sliding back into it’s home silently ready to draw blood at a moment's notice. Sighing she supposed her kind were rare around these lands for the girl seemed to have no clue as to what she was, it was sad really Fauns were dying out far and wide hunted or enslaved we died either way a brutal death. “My name Zhir.. I’ll be on my way.”
- MiaRaecari: /me A feeling of relief washed over Mia as the creature put the arrow away, she blinked a couple times and felt her eyes return to their normal blue colour. She placed her spear back on her back and watched Zhir as she turned around and began to walk away. "Wait.. what are you?" She said cautiously, slightly afraid of the answer. She brushed her hair away from her face and made eye contact with Zhir, "Also.. You don't need to go anywhere. You're not bothering me at all."
- MegeraFallen: -A guard walked up to the queen as she sat at her desk, he informed her that Mali had just gotten in so late. Nodding to the guard she stands and smooths out the front of her desk. Leaving her study she nods her head with a smile to anyone that passed her, the kingdom had become a place of happiness and she had worked hard to fixed what Morthhad done to her people. Even with the move to a different castle, the scares of the past were still there. Reaching Mali’s room, she knocked a few times and waited for an answer-
- Sbongile: Responding with a very soft, sleepy groan, Mali rolled over in her bed and covered her head with the blanket as her beast used his huge paw to push his way into Ale's room.
- AlestraVascou: Still half asleep she sat up and sighed. Seeing the beast she shook her head and pointed to her bed, telling the animal to lay down and stay out of her way as she readied herself for the day ahead of her. Wandering over to her wardrobe she pulled out a rather old blue gown that was not so snug around her middle, and after brushing her hair to a dark shine she donned the garment and completed the outfit with a small circlet before leaving her room and the beast behind for the more favorable location of the kitchens.
- Amy0w0: /me Blinking slowly she wasn't expecting such a response, not many people outright asked her what she was, well she didn't talk to many people for it to come up in conversation.. Turning around but taking a slight step back Zhir tilted her head some what curious of the girl and her strange smell. "Sweet child, I am a Faun.. I take it you have not met any of my kind before." It wasn't really a question the answer already weighed heavy on her. Seeing that she was welcome to stay Zhir skipped back over to the lake side taking the spot she had recently vacated cupping her hands together she drank from the take deeply using the fur on her arms to wipe her mouth dry she looked back up at the girl. "And what might you be?"
- MiaRaecari: /me Mia smiled as Zhir moved back over, "I'm actually a Cambion, my father a succubus and my mother a human." She nervously played with a free thread from her dress. "And no. I have never seen a creature like you before, it's quite fascinating." Mia looked up at Zhir, wonder and curiosity filled her eyes. "What were you doing down here?" She asked Zhir, she knew she would have recognised her if she'd seen her before.
- MegeraFallen: -She waited a little longer before knocking again as she called out- Mali I know you are there, open the door please. -She rubbed her head a little and waited outside of the door. She had worried about any of the kids going out this late, even with Morthil gone, some still followed his mad teachings and wanted the Royal's dead-
- Sbongile: She let out a slightly louder grumble and lifted her hand, flicking it ever so slightly in a wave like motion. Using the fading moonlight as the sun began to rise she sent a wispy looking stream of light, that had the consistency of mist but the fluidness and strength of wind, to open the door before dropping her hand back onto the bed.
- Sbongile: *meanwhile her beast had taken up residence on Ale's bed while she prepared herself for the day before getting up and following her from a distance to the kitchen Despite her mother's ominous presence in the doorway, clearly both stressed and annoyed about her nightly whereabouts, she rolled so her back was to the door and fell back into a deep sleep.
- Amy0w0: /me Talking under her breath "Ah that's what the smell was.." Mia confirmed what she had already suspected no wonder she could sense a darkness within the female she probably didn't enjoy her own outbursts either not many did. Leaning back using one arm to rest her weight on Zhir looked up at Mia "Ah I see how wonderful for you." She smiled warmly she truly didn't find the females being hateful but more pitiful than anything but she knew Mia didn't want her pity. Brushing her hands along the long green grass she spoke softly almost a whisper "I highly doubt you will see another like me in your lifetime child..” Speaking clearer “But for your other question, I was searching for my own little peace I’ve journey far you see.”
- MiaRaecari: /me Mia chuckled under her breath, "Yeah, this is probably the most peaceful place you'll find around here." She says as she picks a daisy from the grass and twists it in between her fingers. "Where have you travelled from then?" Mia shifts her body so that she is facing Zhir, and looks up at her as she smiles a soft smile. She didn't fear Zhir as much as she felt she should, but then again she didn't really know anything about fauns and what they were like.
- MegeraFallen: -She sighs walking off from the door. Reaching one of the guards she told him to put men on the door of her room and any other way she could get out without her finding out. She walked the now dead hall ways of the castle and smiled to herself as she looked out a window She heads back towards her office that had a day bed in it, closing the door behind her, she locks in and yawns as she walks to said bed, Sitting down she grabs a book from the table starts to read slowly falling asleep-
- AlestraVascou: Busy gathering her light repast of bread and cheese she didn't notice the beast enter the kitchen or the maids gossiping about her condition. She had of course told her mother and sister when she had realized it but had left the name of the father squarely out of any and all talks she had concerning her pregnancy. She didn't want her family to know who he was anymore then she wanted him to know. But sadly servants talk, and as she started to show, their tongues started to wag. It was scandal enough that she wasn't wed but that she was quite adamant about the child remaining fatherless was the topic of the month it seemed.
- MegeraFallen: -Waking up from falling asleep in her office, she yawns sitting up. PLacing her hands on her lower back she stretches and yawns again once hearing a few pops in her back. Standing up she rubs her eyes and walks over to her desk looking at the papers that she had been working on. With a sigh she sits down and speaks softly to herself- Why did I want to go back on my own history? -She looks up from the papers to the picture of her and Gaven before smiling softly remembering the time she was happy all them years ago-
- RenanTheDarklight: "It's quite simple. You felt the need to remember." The monotoned voice of her former General echoed lightly from behind her as Ren was leaning against the stone wall in his usual clad black. "But isn't that what all creatures do sometimes? Look back to remember how they got to where they are now?" His gaze went from the window to her as he leaned up off the wall, having his blade and staff attached to the back of his leather chest piece.
- AlestraVascou: Taking her plate she moved to the library again and back to the chair she had vacated earlier that morning. She placed her plate on the side table and lifted the book again once she was comfortable. She figured her mother would be busy with correspondence and there really wasn't many other in the keep to to her knowledge so Ales figured she would be left alone for a time.
- MegeraFallen: -She looks over her shoulder at him before chuckling- I guess you are right old friend, I do miss Gaven -she leans over touching the photo before shaking her head- But the past is the past and someone needs to write it or the past will be forgotten, a lot has happened in the last 8hundred years.
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes traversed up to the palace-castle of Bell Monte by horseback. The winds of summer beckoning with the scent of change in the air. He looked back behind him, thinking how long it had taken him to get from the Castle of WestenVale to here. Then with a brief sigh he dismounted the horse and continued his course up into the castle. His mismatched eyes showed it'd been a long journey and his matted long blonde hair showed he'd encountered some less than favorable weather too. He pulled out a waterskin from his bag on the horse before letting a servant escort the horse to the stables. Earmes took a quick drink as he started up the stairs and walked into the castle, simply to be stopped by the guards.
- RenanTheDarklight: "Should show you my library one day." He said as he adjusted his shoulder piece a little and looked back out the window. "Well well... It seems there is a visitor. Should I make myself scarce or stick around..." He looked back to her and walked over, looking over her shoulder. "Afterall, most see me as evil considering my job description." He placed his altered hand on her shoulder leaving a thin frosted layer on her.
- AlestraVascou: Nibbling a bit of bread she sighed and tossed it back on the platter. She knew she needed to eat, but everything felt to heavy in her stomach. The words in her book started to blur together and she was close to dozing when she heard the guards stopping a guest as the entrance was near the library. She wasn't expecting anyone and she doubted it was a farmer come to speak with her mother as the Hall was scheduled for the next few days. In fact she was certain that they weren't supposed to be expecting anyone. Curious now she stood and made her way to the door and looked out, waiting to see who would be admitted inside.
- MegeraFallen: -She brushes off the frost on her shoulder before standing up looking out the window- Seems the Baron of WestenVale has come to see us. You might as well keep to the shadows and see where Ale is. She might be interested in greeting the Barron.
- EarmesAeledas: He popped his neck as he waited his rather ornate rapier clang to his fanciful blue and black clothing. Hearing the servants mumble of a pregnancy his mind immediately drifted to the queen, thinking she had taken a prince-consort. His aims today were to negotiate more upon the trade agreement that had been worked out, last time at his castle.
- RenanTheDarklight: "Sounds reasonable. I'd rather not instill fear when it's not needed." He took a step back and melted into the wall as a dark mass at first, then slipped down and into her shadow to observe everything. It was a clever hiding spot he found, able to keep close and remain undetected yet also react on a moment's notice.
- AlestraVascou: Seeing the man appear highborn the guards moved aside, one escorting him through the door another following closely behind. From a small crack in the library doorway Allie watched the trio move through the main entrance and jumped back, knocking against a bookshelf and causing a few books to thud to the ground -What the hell is he doing here- she thought in a hurry to avoid him she ran up the stairs, unaware that she could be seen, not clearly, but seen none the less through the crack she had been spying through.
- MegeraFallen: -Her ears twitch as she heard the thud in the library. She looks to her shadow knowing he was there- That is your signal to go see what that was. -She heads out of her office towards the main throne room only to watch Ale run past her. Raising an eyebrow she shrugged and kept walking before once again talking to herself- Well she seems to be in a hurry today.
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes looked around the castle, the last time he had been here it was abandoned. Cobwebs everywhere and small animals hiding inside for the winter. Now it seemed lavish and warm with all the animals also being rather domesticated. Hearing the thud he looked towards the said sound, then shrugging it off deeming one of the servants had dropped something.He then walked a little further and looked into the throne room, his eyes laying upon Queen Megara.
- RenanTheDarklight: A low echoing grumble was heard as he darted off to investigate. sticking to the shadowy spots and moving swiftly.
- AlestraVascou: Passing her mother she smiled and prayed that the woman wouldn't call her down to meet with the Baron as she had been the one to trade with him before this moment. Rushing to her room she looked for a bulky gown that would conceal her baby bump. Sorting through her trunks she finally found one that might work and quickly slid it on.
- MegeraFallen: -She smiles towards the Barron nodding her head- Sir Earmes, it is wonderful to see you again. -She looked towards a guard- Please go get Princess Ale, I believe she is the only child home today.
- EarmesAeledas: "Ah! Your Majesty, Queen Megera. I must say the same." He smiled and held out his hand to shake hers. "My apologies for not sending forewarning, the ravens had gotten scared of the storm that i had to pass through on my way here, it seems to be looming over the shores between our two lands." He ran his free hand through his hair, to rid it of its matted look.
- RenanTheDarklight: His vision was different than normal when in shadow form, only able to process light and shadows. It was ambiguous but after finding the spot he grumbled more and darted back over, slipping back into Meg's shadow unnoticed. He'd tell her what it was later, opting to remain silent for the time being.
- AlestraVascou: she had just pulled the red and black empress cut gown over the white under dress when she heard the knock at her door. Opening it to see the guard who informed her that her mother needed her assistance in the throne room. Nodding she moved through the halls and entered the throne room careful to cover her stomach with her voluptuous sleeves. "Hello Barron. Mother."
- MegeraFallen: -She shakes his hand smiling before turning to look at her shadow, looking up at Ale she smiled- I see you remember Lord Earmes, I don't recall you meeting before. -She shrugged softly before taking in the fact she had changed her dress, looking back to the Barron she smiled once again- Yes our fishermen had to come in only a few hours ago, sadly their income will be low today.
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes shook his head in pity for the common folk. "Such needed efforts and yet because of such bizarre weather, so many are affected." He then looked to the Princess Alestra with a grin curling up on his face. "It is lovely to see you again, I haven't seen you since we concluded our initial trade agreements." He then motioned his eyes towards the seats, however he said nothing although he was exhausted from his travels.
- RenanTheDarklight: His ears worked well as he had to listen to the boring drilling of the nobles. It wasn't of any interest to him as the matters of the living meant little to him, the petty squabbles and backstabbing rather comical. It reminded him of when he did the same to his siblings but to an extremely lesser degree as there was no ceremonial evisceration or crushing of organs.
- AlestraVascou: She nodding with a slight blush "Mother Why do we not move to the seats, I am sure the barron is wiped out from the journey." Moving to the seats herself she waited for the other two. "And Mother the barron is whom I found to trade with for what we needed here, did I not tell you that when I returned." she asked faking a smile. She knew she hadn't incase her mother drew the connection to her pregnancy.
- MegeraFallen: Yes please everyone sit -She looked to her shadow speaking to Ren softly- You know what you need to do. -She looked back to the others smiling as she moves her hand towards the chair- I'm sure you are very tired from your trip and Ale would be tired from all the running she did just before.
- EarmesAeledas: He would smile towards Ales thankfully as he moved to a seat for himself, sitting rather improperly compared to the two royal women. "I am actually here about the trade agreement. We have stumbled across a source of urgency with the resources that he have been collecting lately and I wanted to make sure the same issue has not been plaguing you."
- RenanTheDarklight: The dark mass swiftly zipped off, taking that as to investigate this Baron's carriage. He felt she was curious as to if there were maybe assassins around possibly, and it wouldn't harm to look. He did feel a slight anomaly, thinking nothing of it as he manifested at the carriage and inspected. His presence was rather minimal, as far as he knew only
- Meg knew he existed. He swiftly and thoroughly scrutinized the area but nothing so he assimilated back into the shadowy mass and zipped back to her shadow. The anomaly was still there, in the very room though masked and also very weak in feeling. It didn't take long for him to figure it out though once he seen where it was coming from. "Makes sense now. I'll keep this to myself for the time being." He said to himself silently.
- AlestraVascou: Blushing deeper she pretended not to hear her mother's statement, turning her focus to the barron and his issues. She wasn't aware of of any such issues but then she hadn't left the castle since her return as she was still trying to catch up on all of her projects. "I am sorry but I have been rather busy trying to prepare for summer, gathering the spring herbs before they vanish." She looked to her mother and nodded "That was where I was going before you summoned me, I caught wind of a group herbs growing near the pond nearby."
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes continued upon the plight of the resourses. " As you all may know, while one is within the Village of WesterVille's radius you do not age physically. It seems any inanimate objects that have left the area have begun to deteriorate. The cause is unknown right now but I have my page back in the village scrying through the history of WestenVale for the cure." He then rolled his neck, but as a gentleman he felt he ought not let the Princess traverse to the pond alone. "Perhaps I could accompany you? Learning of foreign herbs fascinates me." He looked hopeful as the last time they spoke it felt like it ended abruptly.
- RenanTheDarklight: Seeing how Meg was busy and he felt the curiousness pang in his... shadowy mass he quickly slipped into the Baron's shadow, the only sensation he would have felt was a quick shiver. Mortal bodies usually get them randomly as far as he knew so nothing would seem out of the ordinary, his curiosity was in need of quenching.
- AlestraVascou: Worry crossed her face as he mentioned things deteriorating. "I was not aware, I will make sure that the builders here make certain to patrol over the rooms we used the materials from your homeland in." When he mentioned going to the pond together she paled and started to stutter. "If that is what you wish, I would be honored to show you the sights of my new home. that is of course if my mother does not need me for anything else for a few hours."
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes shivered as an unknown force seeped into his shadow. "It would be wise..." Before he could finish his sentence, the cloth emanated with the anomaly before said cloth in his seat deteriorated and he fell through the center. The cloth seemingly never had been there in the first place. Then with a small laugh he struggled to free himself from the wooden frame of the seat. "Well before this happens again, would you like to go for that stroll to the pond?"
- AlestraVascou: Laughing a bit she nodded and stood reaching down to help him up "Of course SIr." Once he would stand she would be fast in covering her midsection again. "I should grab a cloak before we set out it might be chilly closer to the water" She told him walking to the entrance and retrieving her cloak from the peg it hung from the movement causing her gown to stretch over her belly for a few moments.
- RenanTheDarklight: "If he doesn't see this then he is hopeless..." He thought to himself as he lingered in the Baron's shadow still. If she hadn't made that more obvious than it would have been completely stripping down and prancing about.
- MegeraFallen: -Watching them walk off she smiles to herself knowing Ren was in someone's shadow around them to keep an eye on them. Standing from the seats she walks up onto the thrones before sitting back down. A maid handed her the book and feather she was writing with and she went back to working out put parts of the history needed to be removed-
- EarmesAeledas: Earmes followed the princess to the coat hanger, having already noticed she was hiding her stomach after she helped him out of the seat his eyes now lingered there. As she wrapped herself in her cloak he had become awares, it was not the queen and her prince-consort but Princess Alestra. Earmes smiled and knew now more than ever that she shouldn't be left alone, still the father of the child was unbeknownst to him. He knew they had a fling but I assumed her strategic withdrawal from his castle told him much about their relationship and he felt it was unlikely his.
- AlestraVascou: Smiling to him she moved through the door and slowly down the steps. Her movements more slow and careful than before as she thought over the herbs she would need and a way to make this situation less awkward while still keeping the baby's parentage a secret from him."How long do you plan to stay Earmes?" she asked kindly
- RenanTheDarklight: "This is getting dull... Nobles are so boring." He still lingered within the Duke's shadow. It was dull work but it was worth it in the end for him to stop the curiousness.
- AlestraVascou: Walking through the doors to to the throne room Ales made her way to the scrolls that were stacked high behind the throne. She was searching for a map. One that would show her the location of the hotsprings that she were mentioned to her by another in her healing school. She was growing bored stuck inside these walls and needed desperatly needed to get out to do something other then gather herbs for the sickroom or looking for viable trade routes for her mother.
- sprigglet: Waking up from upstairs rubbing my eyes with me grabbing the wall to pull myself up from being blind. Then getting dressed in my robes walking to the stairs with me stopping to grab hold onto the stair rails to aid myself down the stairs. Then with me starting to walk down stairs carefully going to the throne room to sit on one of the brown chairs near the plant pots meditating hearing out to do something for anyone-
- MegeraFallen: -It seemed she had fallen asleep on the throne, she streaches her back and hears more then one pop before rubbing the back of her back. She picks up the paper she was working on and rubs her face. With a sigh she gets up before looking down at her Shadow talking to Ren- If you are there why did you let me sleep on the thrones?
- AlestraVascou: Hearing that her mother had finally woken up she sighed and picked up the two most likely maps and walked around to the front of the thrones to greet her mother. "Good afternoon mother" she said nodding and bowing to her elder. The red down she wore hugging her figure and gaping just enough to make some show interest in her. "Talking to that shadow man of yours again i see. Others will think you are mad." she said in a low warning
- RenanTheDarklight: Being in Meg's room he didn't hear anything, still deep in paperwork as he groaned. "Why are things so costly." He was more of a secret book keeper at this point, handling issues when the Queen wasn't around. Though staying off the grid was easy, he just either stayed in Meg's room, in her shadow, or his within the Nether. "When i do things like this its simple... Not ten piles of complaints, four requests, and other un needed things." He threw some of the parchment papers on the floor and gave up, leaning on the two back legs of the chair.
- MegeraFallen: -She chuckles up at her at her comment- Ah but that is the thing my daughter, I'm not mad, but it seems he isnt there today, must be still doing what I had asked of him. -She stands up and streaches again- Shall we see if he is around? It is about time you meet the man who has been keeping an eye on you for me. -She takes her daughters arm in hers before they started to walk towards her room- He is ether here for in my office.
- RenanTheDarklight: He left the parchment across the floor as hepropped his feet up on the desk casually, his hand on the pommel of his blade as he circled it in place bored. "Should go stir up trouble elsewhere... maybe commit regicide..."
- MegeraFallen: -She opens the door and shakes her head hearing Ren- Well I hope you don't do it in my name Ren. -She smiles at him before looking to Ale- Meet Ren, my Reaper.
- RenanTheDarklight: He was caught off guard as he heard her introduce him, quickly kicking up the table creating a small diversion and sunk into the floor, zipping off and hid in a dark corner as a shadowy mass.
- AlestraVascou: "Your Reaper?" Sighing she looked the man over and bowed her head. "It is nice to meet the man my mother convereses with in secret all day. " Returning her medow green eyes to her mother she cocked her head "Mother what need of you do have of a Reaper?"
- MegeraFallen: -She looks over her shoulder at Sprigglet before smiling at him- I need you to go into the town center and pick up this months Meats for the castle -She eyes Ren knowing where he was before shaking her head- He comes in handly when I need a spy.
- RenanTheDarklight: "You flatter me so. You know I detest formalities..." He took a form of a blob and rose from Meg's shadow slowly. "I like to keep my presence to a minimal." He looked to Alestra and tilted his head.
- AlestraVascou: "Why?I mean why dont you ever go out aboutt he keep?" moving to the small roof garden off her mothers room she sat under the blood tree.
- MegeraFallen: Ah my daughter you do not know all that I do when you are not here -She chuckles at her looking at Ren- How did the book keeping go? And that other thing?
- RenanTheDarklight: "Same boring shit different day." He said as he looked at the floor. "I made quite the mess..."
- AlestraVascou: "Mother that is a bit to much information for me." she said giggling. "Though I am happy to know you found a man to confide in."
- MegeraFallen: -She looks at her with as she rases her eyebrow- You think I "confide" in him that way? My dear you are wrong, I have not interest in this man besides the deal with have with one another.
- AlestraVascou: "I do not have a place to judge if you do mother" she told her placing a hand on her growing belly. "I am sorry if I am mistaken though. When a man never leaves the chambers of a woman.. "
- MegeraFallen: -She looks to Ren before waving her hand alittle, a light glow comes from her as her desk and the mess he made starts to clean itself up- Next time I will give you warning we are coming to say hello -She chuckles before looking at her Daughter- Well yes we will have to deal with your mistake sooner or later before the Noobles deem you damaged good and we will not be able to find you a man.
- AlestraVascou: Grumbling she looked down "Im not even showing yet mother, we have at least another month. And I told you I dont want to marry a noble. You did and it ruined your happiness. "
- RenanTheDarklight: "Oh I love a good living banter." He conjures up a seat and sits down. "This is why I am glad i cannot reproduce."
- MegeraFallen: Well there was a difference with us daughter, mine had been planned out before I was even born. -She walks over to her desk looking at some of the paper work before picking on up to look at it- If we can find you someone who will understand, someone you are found with, I'm sure things will be ok. That or you will have to be sent away till you have given birth and the babes taken in by a family the crown can trust -She looks at Ren before chuckling-
- AlestraVascou: "I understand that mother I really truley do. But i was drunk. I was in love. Even though the man if far below the man you would wish me to love." Sighing she flopped down and growled "Mother enough of this, I want the father of my baby. But he is not an option, and there is no living male here that matches the skin tone of what my child may come out as." She confessed "It may be near impossible to pass it off as anyone elses"
- RenanTheDarklight: Remainnig quiet he had a quill and parchment out jotting things down. "This would make for a phenomenal play later on..."
- MegeraFallen: -She gose back to the paper work before pearing over at Ren shaking her head- Life is never dull with you around old friend -She speaks softly- As my oldest Daughter, you sould have known better but I will let this past for the rest of the day, we will speak about this again. -She looks to Ren once again before looking over her shoulder- Raith I know you are at the door, why have you not gone and started the job I gave you?
- sprigglet: Listens to her with me walking upstairs to get fully dressed into my leather outfit. Then holstering my dagger and hidden blade with me then coming back down stair going to the main door head to the town centre to get the castle surrplies stopping to get a cane of some sort to aid me for my travel to the centre, Then getting a stick and carving it into a cane. Then with me starting to walk to the centre turning to face Meg saying "If i'm more then a hour send someone to get me your highness" After saying my words i go through the door heading to the centre-
- MegeraFallen: -She looks back to the paper work before sighing- We need a new book keeper, I can't keep making you do this Ren.
- RenanTheDarklight: "It keeps me out of trouble more or less. besides, I might have gone off and done a regicide if you didn't pop up."
- AlestraVascou: Standing she left her mothers room fighting her tears. She knew her mother was right but it still hurt. She thought of all people her mother would have understood her dalliance since it was stirred by her heart. Moving through the castle she burst through the doors of the library and flew upm to the second level where she could curl up by the fire and rest\
- MegeraFallen: One day we need to write down how we met before I forget how or you just forget to -She laughts before looking over her shoulder as Ale's left- I really thought she would be smarter then this Ren.
- RenanTheDarklight: "I think it is more of her wanting something other than sitting pretty on a throne." He said as he continued to jot things down. "True I may sit upon my throne at Nathrasa but that is because I killed my brothers with my own two hands." He snickered a little. "Some beings desire more than being a figurehead and a political toy."
- FallenDarkDragon has joined the chat
- sprigglet: With me getting to the city looking aroud for my first time then walking to the black smith to get wood and other materails paying him for the surplies. With me then walking to the buchters but before getting a little boy takes my gold bag off me with me noticing i shadow step grabbing his shirt picking him up asking for my bag of gold back. Then with him giving it back to me then i give him 5 gold coins from my own pocket with me saying "Dont steal kid it wont help you go anywhere" .With the kid nodding the he runs off to his mothers home with me continuing to buy the castle's surplies the finishing up walking out of the town coming back to the castle-
- 0rkaan has joined the chat
- 0rkaan: He popped the top on his flask and after tying down his horse to a trough. "The things I do" He whispered to himself as he walked up the stairs and through the doors. With each step he mad a slight jingle sound, from the blades that were on his person. Orkaan kept a knife on his lower back and a mid sized saber on his right hip, as well as two twin blades on his back. Every guard he passed whispered as he walked through the hallways towards the library. He figured he would find her there, reading a book or whatever it is one does in a library. Orkaan wasn't a fan of such places. He perferred a wall to be stationed on, a battlefield to be fighting on, or even a bar to guard. He stopped in front of the doorway of the library, sighing first to clear his mind of places he'd rather be before knocking against the post. "Alestra?" He'd say, "Alestra, sorry to interrupt but I've returned...with gifts!"
- FallenDarkDragon A young child lurk in the woods staring at the castle and the gaurds that keep it safe. She will cover her ears with her brownish red hair and her baby golden eyes looking around before waling out of the woods before swallowing att he gaurds as they stop her as she look like a villager.-
- RenanTheDarklight: Having felt he spent too much time out in the open he sunk into the floor and zipped over to Meg's shadow to rest for now.
- MegeraFallen: -She chuckles softly before looking down at her shadow. Picking up a log book she heads back to the main throne room only to come across Orkaan standing at the door of the library. She clears her throat- It seems I need to get the guards to do a better job of making sure I know who enters my home. What is it you wish with my daughter Lord Orkaan? Better yet, what brings you here today?
- AlestraVascou: Hearing Orkaan's voice she coughed, wiping away her tears she picked up a random book and posing on her favoriate chair. She didnt want him to know that she had been crying nor that she was pregnant so before she ushered him in with a call she pulled a heavy wooled throw over her lap and up over the slight baby bump her slim figure had already developed. She also reached for a goblet of wine, though she did not sip it, rather just hold it in her hand as she pretended to read the book in her lap. "Please come in Orkaan. How was your trip?"
- sprigglet: Coming back from the town walking up the stairs of the castle to the main door with the castle's surplies. Then opening the door putting the surplies into the throne with me looking around. Then waiting for Meg to return then sitting down to rest my body-
- 0rkaan: He looked at Alestra, smiling some until he heard his name from an unfamiliar voice. "Lord," He said as he turned around. " I don't think I have ever been called Lord before." He bowed slightly while keeping his free hand on his saber. "If anyone deserves a title it is you M'lady." Orkaan said as addressed the queen. " I'm just here to see Alestra and give her this bottle from my trip." He said as he lifted a bottle from a small bag that he kept in a pocket on his shirt. The bottle was no bigger than his flask and was half empty. Before turning away to Alestra he offered the queen a brief smile.
- FallenDarkDragon: The little girl will gasp as the gaurd see the necklace and will grab her arm tight and pull her to the queen. His speed was to much for the little girl to keep up so he dragging her pretty much. He walk up and say "My queen, This villager have a royal necklace"
- MegeraFallen: -She turns from Orkaan and looks at the guard- What is this? -She looks at the girl before looking at Ale and Orkaan- Do you two know about this girl? -She turns to the Gaurd- Bring her to the throne room -She looks back at the two- You two are to come as well. -She walks off towards the throne room before a guard opend the door for her. Her eyes where full of anger as she sat on her throne- Bring the girl in.
- AlestraVascou: Hearing her mother's voice she groaned looked down. Pulling the blanket higher and praying her mother would keep her mouth shut about the pregnancy long enough for her to explain to her friend and guard that their one night stand was a bit more long lasting then either of them hoped
- FallenDarkDragon The little girl will somehow break the gaurd grib in fear before running off back into the woods scared of her life.-
- sprigglet: with me fully rested waiting for Meg to return to the throne room then getting up walking into Meg then shadow stepping out of her way asking "Where shall i put the surplies your highness" Walks with her back into the throne room waiting for a reply-
- 0rkaan: "So much for drinking my afternoon away." Orkaan said to himself as he waited Alestra to get up. He noticed the look on Alestra's face, something was bothering her yet he couldn't put his finger on it. He would lift his flask towards her, as if to offer her some drink before entering the throne room.
- MegeraFallen: -One of the gaurds came up to her and informed her the girl had escaped before she leans on her hand before talking to herself- Ether my son has a barsted child or something is not right. -She stands up before looking towards the halls to the library before turning the other way walking towards the outside door- Follow me Raith. Tell the men to meet us outside near the kitchen.
- AlestraVascou: Shaking her head she waved her wine goblet in the air. "Please come in and sit with me, tell me of your journies, and this gift you say you have brought me?" She shited her body a bit trying to get more comfortable but still careful to hide her stomach. "You certianly have been gone a long time" -on my orders- she added in her mind.
- sprigglet: Starts to yarn then starting to head upstairs to bed getting undressed. Then dressed into my robes getting into bed falling to sleep-
- 0rkaan: He turned from the hallway, as he was facing the throne room, and walked into the library. "Well After I dropped off your friend, I made camp for the night. The next morning I awoke to your friend shitting in the bush next to where I laid my head. Well obviously I made sure she knew how stupid it was, and I was rewarded with a bottle of rum for the both of us." He said as he brought the bottle out of the pocket he kept it in. "Well really I've drank one third of it, and I plan on drinking another third so I guess that leaves you with a thrid, if you want some."
- MegeraFallen: -She turns seeing Raith had ingored her before she shakes her head still heading towards the ladder where the meat is to be stored- Good help is hard to find in this place. -She stood watching on as the new meat was put in the cold boxs or hung up to dry, she made notes in her book as they went.-
- AlestraVascou: Laughing she sighed and shook her head "Thank you but i am not in the drinking mood today" she told him as she placed the wine she was holding down, then looked back to him. "I am happy that your journy went well however adn that you and Liza are safe. Though I must say ive missed your banter. And your council." closing the book she motioned for him to sit in the chairs next to her. "Did anything else interesting happen while you were away?"
- 0rkaan: "Oh nothing special." He said as he sat down, opening the bottle. "I may or may not have stolen a horse and a drink on my way home. Another stallion of course." He'd say before raising his finger, as he drank some. "Also" He'd place the bottle on the ground. "I got frisked by the castle guards again,oh and I met your mother."
- AlestraVascou: She couldnt help but shake her head as he told her of his exploits. When he was done and she felt right enough to ask him what she really wanted to know she spoke softly "And did you meet any interesting Tavern maids on your trip, you cant expect to have me believe you went three months without a woman to warm your bed" Refusing to meet his eyes she stared at the flames, every once in a while looking back to him but then quickly away
- 0rkaan: He laughed and shook his head. "No I did not, actually, I've been in the wilds for three months. I can't really expect to be in a tavern when I am wanted." He said as beofre drinking a bit more of his bottle.
- AlestraVascou: Nodding she looked down wondering if she should actually tell him or just let him think what he wanted. Opting for the latter she stood, neatly folding the blanket, the movements straining the gown over her small bump.
- -She head back to her office forgetting she needed to put the log book back. Stepping throw the door she forgot they were there and went about putting the log book with the others for the year.-
- 0rkaan: He saw her, and saw her bump and raised an eyebrow. "Too much cake in my absence? Or is it that custard that the tavern makes?" He said before finishing off the bottle of rum.
- AlestraVascou: "Neither." she told him as she saw her mother enter. Swearing she looked back to Orkaan. That woman had treible timing, but this needed to be done sooner rather then later. "I am with-child actually. I really resent the fact you think ive gotten fat."
- 0rkaan: Orkaan started coughing, "I'm sorry what?" He raised both eyebrows this time surprised. "From who or what rather?"
- AlestraVascou: Takign a small step back she glared at him "Orkaan you are my friend but that comment is uncalled for. I have only been with one man since my husband passed on." biting her lip she sighed and continued "Do you honestly not remember?"
- MegeraFallen: -She hears him starting to cough so she head towards the sound only to stop watching on from the shadows alittle only to step out of the shadows once she heard what she said speaking clearly enough so they heard her- Are you to tell us that his man, is the father of my grandchild? A men who is ment to be your guard?
- AlestraVascou: Turnign slightly so she could see her mother she glared "Mother this is a private converstaion. " she tried to look back to Orkaan but the damage had already been done -So much for being gentle about it- she thought angrly. "Mother please, i will speak to you later about this."
- 0rkaan: He looked at Alestra and rubbed the back of his neck. "I didn't forget, I just didn't realize I was the only person you've been with since your husband." He said before looking to Ale's mother, "To be fair, you did call me Lord when we met earlier. So technically I'm a little important."
- MegeraFallen: -She leans on the bookcase- Do go on, I wish to hear about when you bedded this man. Ether way the walls have ears in this castle. I wish to know what he is to do now he knows.
- 0rkaan: He raised his hand, "Technically I bedded her, multiple times not just once m'lady." He said as he looked at them both.
- MegeraFallen: Did you bed her when her late husband was alive? -She looked at them both with a calm look on her face-
- AlestraVascou: "Mother please. Will you just stop. How is this any different from you and your lover? Because I found myself pregnant? Or because the man I chose is a lowborn Guard?" Looking to her friend her gaze softened a bit before becomming hard again "Yes, this child is the result of that night, but you are under no obligation to do anything, as you both have made it quite clear what you think of me and my choices." Excusing her self she left the room and started down the halls to the kitchens, deperate to get her hands on honeyed wine.
- MegeraFallen: Do tell her if the time was right, we could pass the child off as his. But like always she is to hot headed to stop and hear others out and always storms off, she reminds me of her father in that way. -She looks away from him as she still leans on the bookcase-
- 0rkaan: "Alestra wait!" He said as he got up and followed her towards the kitchen, only hearing part of what her mother had said. "Alestra!" He said as he entered in the kitchen. "The rum would've been better" He said finally cathcing up to her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said what I said and no I haven't forgotten that night. I could never forget that night."
- AlestraVascou: Gulping down her glass she poured another "Yoiu made me sound like a whore. Is that all I was to you?" she asked tears fighting their way out of her eyes "And my mother, I swear on the Goddess, that woman could not be more condisending about this. I am sorry she broke it to you that way" she said babbling as she took another drink "I had really planned on it being a soft break but dear old mum" Rololing her eyes she downed the last bit and moved to pour a third glass
- 0rkaan: **He grabbed the glass and the bottle** "Your not a whore and you weren't a whore to me." He said as he poured
- himself a drink in her glass. "How long have you known?" He said before drinking from the glass.
- MegeraFallen: -She stands up right after they left before looking out the window- Oh daughter what have you gotten yourself into. -She heads out the door towards her office as a raven flew throw the window, she knew the Raven was Gaven's. Patting the bird on the head she took the scroll before reading it. A smile apeard on her face before it fell. Heading out of her office she reached the Kitchen with a not to happy look on her face- Your Aunt and Uncle will be coming in the next few days. This -She looks between them- Does not leave us, your Aunt is as mad as your father was and if she gets wind of this, she will have you both killed. -She turns and walks out of the kitchen as she starts to get the castle ready for them to arrive-
- AlestraVascou: "About two months." she confessed trying to steal her glass back. "No one knows but mother and Ava. So you are not bound to do anything."Then turning once more to find her mother barging in she groaned, then almost cried out at her words. She was now terrified, looking to Orkaan for support .
- 0rkaan: He nodded as he turned to Ale, her mother's warning recieved. He sighed once more before smirking briefly, "I guess that means no more dangerous missions to the wilds or long journeys to take your friends home." He said, "I can't leave my first child fatherless because some idiot with a blade got lucky and cut me while I wasn't looking." He said as he poured a glass for her.
- AlestraVascou: Slightly stunned and confused she looked him over the wine forgotten "Orkaan, Your life is your own, do you not understand. You do not have to stay here. " Looking down she added "Ive been ordered to marry, and marry soon. Whomever I wed has to think the child is theirs. "
- MegeraFallen: -She was moving around ording the staff to get rooms and what not read before she stopped just outside of the guards near the kitchen, closing her eyes she fell to her knees with her head back as the sun hit her skin. Every part of her missed Gaven, something her daughter was never understand. After a moment she opened her eyes nad looked up at the sky as it started to rain, it seems a strom had rolled in. The rain was cooling to her, bowing her head she stands up and heads back inside drying herself off as she walked back towards her own room-
- 0rkaan: "Well then, marry me." He said before sipping from the bottle. "After all it is my child and it would be less confusing for him or her." He said as he let go of the bottle and placed his hand on her cheek. "Unless your afraid of my child knowing how low born his father really is?" He said with a slight smirk.
- AlestraVascou: "I never cared about your station in life Orkaan, I love you." she whispered. "A side from that I will not have a union forced from this. So no. We have been flirting and stealing kisses for years, but this, I knew what I was getting into. You never spoke of marriage before. It shouldnt be any different now that im going to have a baby."
- 0rkaan: "Well it has nothing to do with the baby, and everything to do with us. No more hiding, no more stealing kisses and running away behind walls." He said as he took her hands. "You and I, out in the open, together. Our child isn't an excuse to be together but its finally given us a reason to stop hiding." He said looking her in her eyes. "just think about it."
- AlestraVascou: Smiling weakly she nodded."I guess you are right. I just.. This will kill my mother." Taking the glass he had poured for her she downed it in one gulp. "Are you sure you wish to do this. Royal weddings are pron to be filled with disasters."
- MegeraFallen: -Once in her room she looked around before locking the door behind her, she knew Ren was off asleep and she was a lone. Sitting on her bed she broken down crying, she never wanted a life like this for her daughter, she wanted her to marry someone she loved not have to hide like she had to with Gaven. She looked out her window as the storm rolled in more as thunder hit around the kingdom. She spoke softly to herself like she was talking to Morith- As much as I hate you and what you did to me, that girl was the best thing after our Son. You forced her into something she never wanted and now, she had to become like me, hiding cus of stupid things in place. -She signed softly- Where did I go wrong
- 0rkaan: "I'm sure." He said as he looked at the bottle. "And if they turn out to be filled with disasters, I will have a blade ready for each and every one of the guests present there." He said, only half jokingly. "Now hun," He lifted the bottle, "you dont mind if I finish this bottle do you?"
- AlestraVascou: Laughing she crawled into his lap."Go a head, i detest rum anyways" she sought comfort in his arms for a few moments before she allowed the storm outside to slip into her mind. "We need to tell mother. With any luck something can be done before my Aunt Lexi arrives. Mother was not joking about her insanity. I can wear bulky dresses but... " takign a deep breath she stilled her tongue and waited for him to speak
- 0rkaan: "Why not tell your mother that were engaged?" He said as he wrapped his arms around her. "That way she will be so upset she will lead with that rather than the pregnacy." He smirked, as he thought he'd once again come up with a pretty clever idea.
- MegeraFallen: -She apeared in the kitchen door as he said that but acted like she never heard in, she had gotten changed and was wearing a simple black dress with rich purple mixed into it. She walked right pasted them and into the back where the cook was as she started to go over the menu for when the part would arrive-
- AlestraVascou: "I like that idea love but I still need to be careful about the pregnancy for the next few months. The only way to avoid a scandle is to fake an elopment. While shocking my aunt would not oppose the pregnancy if we were married." Sighing she kissed his neck. "We should go tell mother before she goes insane herself"
- 0rkaan: He lets her go after her kiss and smiles. "Don't worry I'll call her." He says as he walks to the door and smirks. Orkaan waves guard over, and once he arrives he smirks and headbutts the man in the nose. "Now go tell Queen what I have done." He says as he pets the man's head. "She'll be here shortly love."
- AlestraVascou: Sighing she shook her head and sat on the edge of the table. "You do have a way with words dont you my love?"
- MegeraFallen: -Book and list in hand she walks out with some cheese on a plate before stoping to see they where still at the table- Oh you are both still here, I thought you would have left by now -She sits down on the far end as she starts working at the books and list to what she needed to do the next few days. She ate the cheese as she did-
- AlestraVascou: "I can give him lands mother. There are some un owned lands on the otherside of the mountians that comes with a rather impressive title. Besides I love him and will have no other." She added that last bit some what defiently "Tell her I eloped if you must"
- MegeraFallen: -She smirks holding her hand up- There is no need to go as dramadic as that daughter -She looks to him- You will be made Duke of Reachwood. The title has been dead since before you where born daughter. The old Duke was on the wrong side of the war and your father had the whole family killed. His naming day will happen tomorrow. The plans are already in the words as of 5min ago. He will be come a duke then on the day of the parties arrival you both, at the dinner for your aunt and uncle, will tell them with my blessing you are to be married by the next full moon.
- 0rkaan: "A duke?" Orkaan said as he looked at them both. He shrugged and smirked, "I'm honoroed. I guess now I am at least a little important now."
- AlestraVascou: Nodding Ales smiled turning to her love. "Is this something you are okay with, a title, a wedding. I know its not something you have expected" The fact that her mother put all of this in to plan without telling them made her smile and walk over to her mother and hugged her.
- MegeraFallen: -She let her hug her before pulling back- Put it this way -Her tone was the same as before- Do you wish to have the title of the Mad King's Harlet daughter who went and bedded a guard? -She looked at them both- Like I said this kingdom can not handle a scandal not long after the death of the king.
- 0rkaan: "You make a good point." He said as he looked at the Queen and Ale. He then grabs his flask and takes a drink.
- AlestraVascou: Sighing she pulled away from her mother."Thank you mother for reminding me of how low you think I have fallen. If you will excuse us Orkaan and I need to start planning "
- MegeraFallen: -She walks over and slaps her in the face- How dare you! -Her eyes where filled of anger- Do you think I would make him a Duke out of the better of us? DO you wish to be like your mother?! Loving someone they can never have? You are ungreatful, I could have just thrown you to the west lands and be done with you but did I? -She walks away from them taking her books with her before stoping at the door- Maybe with this child you will become greatful that your kid is out of love and not the rape of a drunken mad man. -She shuts the door behind her before walking to her office where she locked the door and went back to work-
- AlestraVascou: Stunned that her mother struck her and even more so about the outburst she striaghtened her back and put on a face of stone, her eyes glazing over with an impassiveness that made her seem empty headed and stern. Not even looking back to her intended she sighed and spoke lowly. "I am sick of all of this pretense. I am just sorry you got roped into such a disfunctional family."
- 0rkaan: Orkaan took Ale's hand and kissed it,before slinging it over his shoulder and forcing her into a hug. "No planning for right now hun." He said as he held her for a moment. "My first order of business is getting a bath, and then sleeping for the next few hours."
- Naranari: There had not even any crashes or broken bones. Which was a miracle given that the little boogers had slipped away once again. It wasn’t her fault she forgot to make her liver a bit stronger. Gabriel hadn’t thought the Imps would go as far as meddle with her drink. Each time the shifter became so human looking they lost nearly all respect for her! If they ever saw her as the human she had been when meeting the royals for the first time they would not let her live with it. Now, where were they? The only places left were… And then, near those in the Kitchen, loud laughters and desperate mews would be heard and soon enough they would see the house cats running around with make shift saddles upon them, the little imps pretending to be the best riders of the land by standing on their hands as they pass through.
- AlestraVascou: Laughing she nodded"Go rest my love, I was simply trying to get away from her. I will be in woods tomorrow, I found a nice hotsprings. " Leaning up she kissed his cheek "For now I should sleep, this stress could not be good for the baby."
- MegeraFallen: -She was told about the cats so she made her way down to the kitchen once again only to hear her daughters voice- Well maybe I should have bannished you to the west lands if you feel like that, but what's done is done -She looks down at her feet as a cat went under her dress and out the other side- I am guessing Gabriel has been at work again.
- 0rkaan: He nodded and walked away after she kissed his cheek. He headed off to find an empty bed, chair, couch, or warm corner to sleep in.
- Naranari: And no sooner the Queen had finished saying that did the cat gave a surprised yelp as it was tackled by a giant pink mass with horns. “Got you!” The cat ran off like thunder and the imp was now tightly held in her iron claw, almost impaled but laughing. “Confess! Where’s the other one?” If not careful, the second probably was heading to hide under the princess’ garments.
- AlestraVascou: Sighing she shook her skirts out "I really do not have time for you beastie. Go find your friend and terrorize some other being?" she begged as she walked away out the rear door to the kitchens and throught the halls to her room in the abandoned observatory.
- MegeraFallen: -She chuckles watching as she leans on the wall- Well what are you up to today Gabriel?
- Naranari: The imp’s heart was broken and he lost the will to prank, making the first imp sad for his friend. For once Gabriel picked up the second imp tenderly and patted him a little on the back before shoving him and his friend in her backpack, burry him under books so the physical pain relieves the broken heart.
- MegeraFallen: -She chuckles as she sits on the table watching on, her leg crossing over the other-
- Naranari: “Oh, my dear Queen!” Gabriel said in a sobbing manner though no tears came out, she was merely being melodramatic. “My poor poor imps are annoying little bastards but mean no harm! Though they may maim others at times, they have little hearts that are broken with ease! The only cure my Queen, whom I haven’t seen in almost a long year, is… is…” She inserts a dramatic pause here. “Pie.”
- MegeraFallen: -She falls back laughing before breathing out hard trying to catch her breath- Gabriel you are always fun to be around.
- Naranari: She didn’t quite understand the fun in it. She truly wanted pie. But she always enjoyed the laughter of others. So, with a smile, Gabriel put her iron claws at her hips and looked up at the Queen. “Bet ya missed me all this year, didn’t ya? I spoke to the princess last night. I meant to send ravens and hawks but they got eaten by the wyvern before they got out of the fort.”
