چМągŋu§∞Ŧяεγζεąfچ The blind elf had taken residence in the room he was offered by Giselle and so there he remained, the bed pushed to the far corner and so there was plenty of room, even though he was not in his own lands, he could continue his training and so there he had been, going through various different styles of combat with his two long swords, he was to never show the styles of his order, till combat came into play and so he had kept hidden away in his room and there he left the room. Wearing the usual set of clothes he had, as he had not planned to stay but he did and so he had his clothes washed and cleaned before he did leave the room. The golden chain mail tunic, with edges a dark green and emblazoned in the middle was that light green leaf. Those two long swords of his at his waist, one blade a crimson red the other a pearly white. There those satchels of holding at his waist, full of gems and coins to trade with. Brown leather pants and shoes covered his legs and feet. His hands came up to that white silk cloth over his eyes, adjusting it as it had slipped up a bit while he was getting ready. <F>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : came out of her bed chambers wearing a dark red gown with gold embroidery along the edges of the neck, sleeve and skirt, belled sleeves with matching cloak and dark red slippers, a small circlet adorned her dark fiery red hair and gold eyes peered through the halls as she wondered to the main hall. She had received a report that eleven slaves were brought back to the castle and that Nosamir was killed, but did not say if he was the slaver or not. Very disturbing news indeed that someone was able to hold slaves against their will in her kingdom, she was not too happy about that nor the fact that someone had made an attempt on her life. These people whomever they were surely needed rehabilitation, she wasn't sure if they were from her kingdom or not, but she was going to find out eventually. Rounding a hall she noticed that Magnus was leaving his room and she walked over to him speaking out. "You know much about slaves.....how do I deal with a group that has been forcefully captured for months or even years out of society?" She asked curiously to Magnus since he talked of having slaves in his kingdom, but he had explained to her if she remembered correctly that they were willing to be slaves and served him happily that there were no punishments on them and that they were treated well, this particular group on the other hand, they did not receive the same happy fate as Magnus's people. But he knew more about slavery then she did so he was getting an inside perspective through another King that had experience in this matter. <e>
چМągŋu§∞Ŧяεγζεąfچ The blind elf had heard the footsteps of someone coming towards him and then he could tell it was Giselle as soon as that voice came to him. He just gave her a gentle smile and would simply reply "Mmm, well it depends, if it is something that has been ingrained into their mind, perhaps offer them servant positions within the lands here, offer them pay or if they got offended about pay, well that makes it easier, as you get free workers" With that he let out a soft melodic laugh "What kind of slaves are they my dear Giselle?" He wondered what slaves they were, after all this would be the best way on how to deal with them. Though it was not something he was expecting to come upon in these lands. <F>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : thought about his question for a moment as she spoke out. "From the report I received, They were trapped on a farm in my kingdom, some for months, possibly years, some may not be from my kingdom, eleven women and are remaining silent.....possibly they were forced into prostitution..... I am not certain what they went through until they speak up.....and I cannot help them unless they do.." She said with a heavy sigh. "And I am not sure how dangerous it is for you to be here as well, someone has made an attempt on my life through means of poison, and so far have yet to find the ones responsible....and now with this, there are things happening under my nose and I don't want anyone close to me getting hurt..." She explained as she folded her hands in front of her trying to think. <e>
چМągŋu§∞Ŧяεγζεąfچ A simple smile was all he gave at this "Do you wish for me to go to the girls that were found and see what I can find out about them?" He asked Giselle curiously as he thought on what to expect, he could not see her and then she told him about the poison attempt and well this slavery ring under Giselles nose, well it was not a good thing for a Queen. So he just let his arms come out to give her a gentle hug and then would let go just as quickly as he hugged her. He stepped back "I am unfortunately not to helpful in these situations myself" <F>
Evawynn : She had went through a lot at the Eladrin infirmary, a lot of poking, prodding, touching, checking her out. She didn't like it one bit, but it was better then being in that filthy place, the farm where the kings men found her and the other women. But they kept asking her question after question telling her to speak up and...well....she couldn't. All she could do was shrug her shoulders and the guards thought she was dumb, a nim whit...which she wasn't....she just couldn't speak. They told her to go to the dining hall to eat that they spoke amongst each other saying they were wasting their time. With this she let out a heavy sigh and a sad face. SHe was still wearing that black dress she wore on the farm, she really didn't have anything there that belonged to her. They weren't going to give her any kind of job if they thought she was stupid. She got some soup from the kettle set on the table and sighed heavily as she sat down looking at her reflection in the soup then closing her eyes a moment frustrated, not knowing what to do any longer. <E>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \The horse had snorted loudly. Obviously tired from his long journey. A pale hand reached down to pat the thick neck. He had slowly dismounted from the beast. Taking the bridle off and reins. " Go on now.. I won't be too long.." He waved the black horse free. Faithful to his master.. the horse would wander towards the grassy null. D had strode forward, tipped his head to the guards and entered the castle. It had been a few weeks since his last appearance. He figured it was time to make some sort of report. Even though there was no report to give. He also wanted to check up on Gisselle. Their last encounter had left them both in an awkward state of ums and glances that wouldn't meet the eye. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was in the dining hall when she saw the girl enter within. She looked slightly disheveled, lost, not so hungry but yet the girl was sent there. Was this one of the slaves she was told about? Gisselle was nearby the girl and attempted to strike up conversation. "Are...you alright?" She asked and the girl Evawynn would give her a look and a nod. But nothing came out. Gisselle sighed and nodded. "Very well ..." The girl looked young, much younger then herself as she heard footsteps approaching from the halls. She looked up to see Young prince Spellmaker and smiled warmly speaking out. "I didn't think I was going to see you for some time." She said kindly to him as she looked over to the girl then back to him speaking again. "I would ...introduce you...but....I have yet to get a word let alone a name from her..." She explained as Gisselle was confused about what to do about the situation.. <e>
Evawynn : sighed heavily, no one even asked the disheveled girl if she could speak or not. But she could hear the Queen's conversation loud as day. She dipped her finger in the soup and wrote her name on the napkin. "Evawynn Lasstanelen....Where is Queen Arafina?" She wrote on the napkin and stood up walking over to Gisselle and carefully placing it down in front of her and taking three steps back. She was scared of males. They had been nothing but mean to her ...and the guards and things didn't help since they didn't realize that yes she had a brain but no she couldn't speak as she waited for the beautiful woman in front of her to speak....she kind of looked like Arafina, but she didn't remember this girl very much. But she was confused at the man they were calling King at the farm before she was taken out. She didn't know where she was going to live at this point. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ He somewhat smirked towards Gisselle. " My father took me out to the front lines. And I've still be looking into reports about Kaien. So far nothing has come up. Or about the drow. But I'm not willing to give up.." He cleared his voice. Still felt the awkward tension between them. His teal blue eyes stared at the female. Just sensing her fear made him take a step back. "It's quite fine Queen Gisselle. I look like some brooding emo guy anyways. That can be terribly upsetting." He placed his hands out in front of him, so that the girl could see that he held nothing in his hands. He also kept back from them so not to crowd her. " I see you are looking much better. All is well? Or have I missed some rather interesting situations?"//d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "All is fine, my father went after a man named Nosamir last night, apparently when he reached the farmhouse with his men there were eleven slave girls......held against there will no one knows for how long, she is one of them....they are trying to get information on their slavers....but this one doesn't speak....she...looks young..." She said to Darius and looked over to the girl after reading the napkin nodding her head. "Pleasure to meet you.....your safe here Evawynn...My name is Gisselle, this here is my friend Darius....he looks intimidating, but I swear to you...he will not harm you, no one will while your within these walls your perfectly safe..." She said sighing heavily about the question of Queen Arafina... "Arafina is deceased.....she no longer rules these lands, she was my mother....My father is taking over rule while I rest.....he was the one that rescued you..." She explained to the girl hoping she would get the point she was safe. <e>
Eva : Evawynn looked around after hearing her question answered, it had been a long time since she tried to telepath anyone, So long after thirty years she almost forgot how since she was shut off in the farm house from using that ability. She looked to Darius after she was told he was safe then looked back to Gisselle and closed her eyes trying to telepath her, but knowing her luck the entire room was going to hear what she said mentally. ~"My....mother was Evalis Lasstanelen.....were from...Eladrin..."Her voice was very soft almost child like even though she was only 45 years old....but the last time she used that ability she was a child. Her voice would probably echo several times over in their heads, and it was going to probably be a while before she perfected that communication technique, but hopefully they got what she said. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ He nodded his head somewhat. " I understand. Take sometimes my dear.. No one here will harm you. " He spoke lightly. His tone had a mixture of both light and dark tones. This could not be helped. He brushed his hand through the thick wave of messy black hair. "Huh so a little bit of excitement I have missed. Well I should stick around more often. After all, tis never a dull moment here.. is it?" He posed the question jokingly. After such, he would clear her throat. The joke probably wouldn't have been taken well. " I mean..I hope your days here are filled with better memories then what has happened to you.." Lately his usual smooth and cold demeanor was off. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : chuckled a moment speaking out. "It would be nice if your father let you stick around more often....I enjoy your company.....that and I believe I have a ladies maid whom fancies you a little bit, but not going to tell you which one..." She said with a grin after hearing the telepath from the girl. She blinked speaking out. "Lasstanelen....I have heard that name before....very familiar...." She said thinking for a few moments.....putting a hand to her head it finally came to her. She kind of went wide eyed and looked to the girl. "Evawynn....are you possibly related to a Lady Remdis Lasstanelen?" She asked curiously to the girl watching for her response. <E>
Eva : had to think, it had been long since she had seen any of her family, but her mother did have a sister and she nodded. ~Yes....that is my aunt....though I haven't seen...her in 35 years......she had a son.....he was very kind to me when I was a child.....~ She said telepthically, her voice childlike, ethereal almost echoing as she looked to the male who was trying to tell a joke....she gave him a quick smile but she looked at how well dressed they looked and looked down at her clothes which were a tattered mess and almost felt embarrassed. ~Is...there a..robe or a dress..I could wear....just until I make money to by me a new dress? I don't...know where I will work....but....I will do something for work...~ She never really worked before ...she had been a slave since her young teen years.....so she was a little nervous about what she was going to do in the future.. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He cleared her voice once more. " Well thank you.. as I enjoy your company. But family must come first... " He licked his left fang in irritation. The male that was his father.. preached such non sense sometimes. But h straightened out his jacket and placed his hands behind his back. " The good queen here wouldn't dream of letting you walk around like this and catch a chill. She is most kind". He somewhat smirked towards Gisselle. "I should.. leave you ladies to it. I still have yet to write to my father. He will want to know what is going on just to be on the safe side". He placed his left arm against his stomach and bowed his upper body forward. " Until later My queen.. Lady Evawynn.." With that he had stepped around them and headed for an empty drawing room. The letter would describe all that Gisselle had told him. The man could certainly move.. His strides were long and confident. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He had been wandering around the Castle as he had a bit of time to himself... this was something new to him and he kinda liked it. He arched a brow though when he would see the male, that had been speaking to Gisselle a lot as of lately and he would walk into the drawing room with a leaning of his body against the door frame with his arms over his bared chest while his crimson mane was braided on either side of his head and then drawn back to be put into a pony tail but the rest to be let loose. "Morning Sir Darius." He would speak in a respectful tone.~
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : His eyes lifted up from the slightly full parchment he was working on. The teal blue in his eyes were intense. Either forcing the person to continue to stare or look away. "Good morning My lord.." His tone equally respectful. The quill in his hand stopped moving. He had straightened up in his seat. "And how are you on this fine afternoon.. my lord?" Small talk was something he had to work on. Something his father constantly reminded to be watched. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he tilted his head as if in thought only to then smile slightly while he walked into the room and went to go sit down in one of the other chairs. He leaned forth to put his elbows and lower arms upon his upper legs. "I am fine this afternoon... and yourself? I hope I am not... disturbing you at this time. You seem very intent upon the letter you are writing." he nodded his head towards the missive that the male was writing on. "How has your father been?" he asked while thinking of why this one and his daughter were speaking in privately at least once or twice.~
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ His eye brow raised slightly. The quill was placed down upon the table. The letter was close enough for Lucien to read if he so wished to. " My afternoon has been..pleasant. I've made my report to your daughter about the still on going investigation of Kaien and the drow. But sadly, there has been nothing as of late. Just rumors that were nothing more then dead leads. It.. is slightly frustrating". He leaned back in the chair and placed his hands upon the arm rests of the chair. "Giving my father updates about Eladrin and my studies. He likes to be kept informed". D tilted his head back. The messy waves of his hair somewhat brushing along his cheeks. "He has been... frustrated as of late. With being home and moving back towards the lines.. he has grown exhausted. I'm thinking he could use a slight break"//d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He nodded his head in remembrance of this conversation between the two of them and he furrowed his brows at the last bit of news about Darius' father... "I know the feeling of exhaustion and I hope that he can be alleviated from such... sooner then later." he did wonder though... "What do you mean by the lines? are you having troubles with others along your borders or something?" he asked for he would not wish to see anything happen to a possible ally. "We have been pretty secure... thus far here in the lands and I would be remised in my duties if I would not go and either give help or go help myself." his fingers intertwining together.~
Eva : Evawynn received a beautiful green and burgundy gown from Gisselle, She couldn't remember the last time she wore a gown that had so much weight to it. She had the ladies maids help her carry down twenty two dresses to take down to the other girls in the infirmary, two for each girl from Gisselle's personal closet. She was excited because she got to pick the first two. As she went to the infirmary she was passing them out and it seemed strange that Arafina was no longer in rule that this girls father was ruling, and the woman herself ruled for a few years....was she really gone that long? She honestly didn't know how long it been it felt like a hundred years. She helped the ladies maids pass out the dresses while the guards were still looking at her weird, and she didn't even bother telepathing them, let those tin heads think what they want, shows what they know the over grown prats...<e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ His fingers slightly moved across the arm rest of the chair. " No nothing along our borders. People and creatures alike fear of what my father is. Surely you've seen the bodies nailed to our doors..?" He chuckled softly and had slowly breathed out a slight sigh. " My father is in the process of helping others that require his touch. And as future ruler.. he wishes my presences to be constant upon the lines with our soldiers. But he does send his regards. He wishes he had more time to visit. To chat and look upon these lands. He finds this realm peaceful. Quiet. I will chat with him in a short few weeks and attempt to convince him to spend a few days here. The quiet might do him some good.. " //e//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was pleased to see the happiness on the young girl Probably been so long since she wore something nice. She was thinking about having a party in a week or two, maybe invite the girls to a ball, to rejoice their freedom, well to rejoice freedom period. Its been many years since the kingdom has seen a party, what better time then now after all the turmoil the castle and kingdom have suffered? Yes that was a great idea. She wandered the halls to go and find her father when she passed by the one of many sitting rooms after hearing Darius's voice and then seeing her father. "Perfect..." She said happily as she wandered in nodding to Darius and then her father before speaking out. "Pardon my intrusion....I don't mean to interrupt..." She said as she looked over to her father. "I just got done helping some of the enslaved women in the infirmary giving them some of my clothes and things, met one of them....she cannot speak but she is sweet...and because of this....I thought since Eladrin hasn't seen a ball in some time, why not have one a couple weeks from now, to celebrate their freedom, I am sure they would love the music and the feast, Elera's birthday is coming up soon....and well, I think it would brighten things up, don't you?" She said happily to her father as she continued to speak. "Ohh and one of the girls is actually from Eladrin.....she said she was taken long ago.... her family name is Lasstanelen....Evawynn Lasstanelen.....ohh father she is so cute...but awful young.....I don't even think the poor girl's hit fifty yet..." She said looking over to him with a kind of sad face for all the things the girl went through. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : His head tilted back, enough to catch the lovely Gisselle wandering into the drawing room. He had listened to her words and somewhat stifled a rising smirk. He leaned back against the chair slowly. " That sounds like a fantastic idea. The queen has told me about the last few weeks and it sounds like the people as well as the queen deserve one night of celebration. Stress would probably lessen. And if... you approve of the idea of the ball my lord... and If the queen would grant it.. I would like to escort her to the ball.." The words, which usually seemed to sound awkward around gisselle, were actually steady this time. No amount of awkwardness felt. Just smooth words. " I could.. attempt to convince my father to make an appearance. I'm sure he would enjoy a break". As of late his father threw himself more into the wars then his home. But then again.. that was Damon. He was fickle about things and preferred to deal with matters on the field of battle.//d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would nod towards the male and took in a deep breath only to then see his beloved daughter come within and went to her to give her a kiss.... stops half way to her as soon as she spoke the name and arched a brow slowly... "Are you sure that is the name she gave you?" he looked a bit... stunned only to recover by shaking his head a bit... "I think a ball would do these lands some good indeed. And yes... I think that would be... appropriate to do, Darius. I am sure the Queen would not turn down such an invitation." he smiled and then went to her even more to kiss her forehead this time... "where... are the slaves, now my daughter?" he would ask in a softer tone.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "Well....yes I am sure father, clear as day she wrote it on a napkin in the dining hall, Darius saw it I am sure of it...I do not believe I am mistaken....something wrong?" She said with a quirk of her brow as her father seemed to look stunned. It couldn't of been a girl from her fathers past she was way too young. She smiled to Darius and looked to him bowing her head. "I would be honored, thank you for the offer...I gladly accept...." Who better then the prince of an allied kingdom to escort her to the ball after all right. She looked to her father and raised a brow. "The ladies maids....are taking care of them in the infirmary, I pulled some dresses out of my closet to give to them, they were passing them out to the ones that were still awake and leaving some for the ones recovering..." She said and kissed his cheek before speaking again. "Are...you sure your alright dad?" She asked curiously looking worriedly at him. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He too had noticed the slight change in Lucien. His skin had paled ever so slightly. He had tilted his head to the side and watched as the last name was spoke. Strange. He cleared his voice and had slowly stood up. " I shall.. leave you two alone then. It is obvious both of you have much to discuss. While I'm out and about, I shall send the letter to my father.. and grant him to come pay visit to his allied realm". He bowed to both of them and folded the paper. " I.. did see the name of the lady, what the queen says is true.. " He placed the paper into his pocket and headed for the door. Slipping out and heading down the hallway. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would bite his lower lip slightly as he would send a message to his son to meet him in the Castle infirmary... something important has come up. he then looked on over to Darius and nodded to him "It is not that you have to leave, Darius but go do what is needed to be done. We are not going any where too soon." he smirked and then he would begin to leave from the sitting room as well. "I am in need to see this woman, Gisselle... wish to join me?" he smiled as he put his hand out for his daughter to take.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "I would love too father, but I have to make sure the other maids are on to their rooms, there are eleven girls with no where to go....I am having a room each prepared for them on the third floor so they are comfortable..." She said and walked over and hugged her father very tightly with her head on his chest. "I already spent a lot of time with her anyways, she helped pick out dresses from my closet...you should of seen her.." She said chuckling and releasing him. "I'll see you at dinner..." She said kissing him on the cheek once again before exiting the sitting room to go check on the spare rooms. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : raised a brow and he was back at the castle after traveling the lands in search of poison sellers the last couple of days. He was finally going to rest and now daddy dearest needed something else. ~Fine I'll be there before you~ He stated as he turned on his heels and went straight for the infirmary where he noticed a lot of new women in there. ~Father....is it my birthday?~ He asked telepathically with a chuckle looking at all those beautiful now dressed up girls. "It must be my birthday.." he said to himself mesmerized...<e>
Eva : was in the infirmary and she was sitting down on her temporary bed when the male walked in. It scared her, that look in his eyes, she didn't recognize him but she recognized that look of a man wanting a woman and it frightened her, reminding her of the farm house. She had no voice so she couldn't yell out. She leaped out of her bed and took off to the back behind the curtain and went out the back way. The dress Gisselle gave her was so heavy she wasn't used to it. "Eva wait!" One of the girls called out to her but couldn't catch her arm to stop her. The infirmary maid looked at Tylan. "Pardon me for speaking freely your highness, but can you not look at these women like they are your lunch, they have been through enough!" Oy did that woman want to slap Tylan so hard. "Go after her......she still needs to be cared for.." The two nurse's nodded and took off after the girl who was splitting from the castle. Evawynn was frantic having a day mare due to the prince's looks..or the way he was looking rather, it was going to be a long day. <E>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he arched a crimson brow and nodded to his daughter only to grimace at his son's words... **They were slaves, my son. So try and not to do anything towards them in any way... please?** when he got there though he would hear the commotion and only to sigh softly. He looked to his son and grimaced a bit... "Yeah your... sowing your oats with these ones are off limits!... got it?" he put a hand to his son's shoulder and looked around the women there. He then asked one of the healers... "which one is Eva? I wish to speak with her.. if I may?" asking politely~
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : "Umm....oops.." He stated smacking himself in the forehead, he had no idea it was enslaved women he was dealing with, he wouldn't have acted in such a way. "Father....look...I had no idea....that they...I was out of town searching for the one that made an attempt on Gisselle's life the night before....I just got back when you messaged me to come here. And yes...off limits no problem.." He stated while grimacing and looked to the nurse maid whom bowed to the king and spoke out. "Your welcome if you can both catch her and speak to her...I am afraid the prince spooked her and she took off, but she doesn't speak....she is mute sire..." Tylan blinked for a moment. "Wait....did you say that girl Eva was mute?" Could it be... "She is alive?" Shit he could catch her faster then those bloody nurses as he moved from his father and dashed like a bat out of hell after the girl catching up to her down the dirt path and grasping her in a bear hug from behind. "Eva...stop......its Tylan.....Remdis's son... Your aunt Remdis....remember..." The last time she saw them she was barely turning ten. She disappeared a few years after that.....she had to have been what...forty...forty five? <e>
Eva : Little squeaks but barely a sound if at all escaped her lips, that was her form of screaming out. But her telepathic screams were probably sending shock waves through the minds when Tylan caught her from behind as she was fighting like hell to get out of his arms but couldn't. She heard him speak of Aunt Remdis and she stopped and she could feel him slowly let go and spin her around. She was still so short compared to him and he was slightly intimidating to look at.. So was the male behind him but she recognized him as the king and she looked to see that she was in Gisselle's dress. Was she in trouble? She moved down to her knees and bowed to the king like a common servant with her hands on the floor. Tylan noticed she had changed so much, she was broken as he stepped back from her not knowing what to do just looking back to see his father walking up. Tylan speaking to Lucien. "She....is my cousin....she cannot speak but....she is acting strange..." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would have followed up after Tylan and with a heavy sighing he would slowly crouch down to where she was only to put two gentle fingers under her chin and make her look up at him... "Aye... as I had thought. My Dearest Eva... stand and be proud for you are a free now... no longer a slave in this very kingdom you had once called home. Take my hands and stand with me as I represent you to your cousin, Tylan... my son." he smiled warmly to her and hoped that she would indeed come forth from the ground ~
Eva : would jump as soon as she felt the fingers upon her chin, force of habit, they usually lifted it to get a better view of where to smack her face.... But it was a split second as she timidly let him raise her chin silently listening as he was calling her dearest Eva. So ...the ...king was her...uncle....and that was really Tylan she was mistaking for a strange scary male? She did as she was told and she was told she was free but...well it was going to take some time to get used to after being under thirty years of force servitude. She stood up a little shaky but did so with the kings help, the pretty dress wasn't helping matters. She got all the way to her feet and looked at Tylan, looking at his eyes..she remembered them well, not many had his eyes...well save for his father of course, now she knew where he got them from. She let go of the king and ran straight to Tylan and just wrapped his arms around him. Him being a whole foot taller then her she came up to just below his chest laying her head against it with tears coming out of her eyes, telepathing but everyone in a good sized radius would be able to hear her because she had little control. ~I thought everyone died.....that's why no one found me!~ Her voice in their heads would sound almost child ghost like with a slight echo to it as she grasped him for dear life. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : was shocked as she ran towards him and after she grabbed hold of him he slowly wrapped his arms around her to make sure he didn't startle her again. He heard her voice and almost cringed on how loud it was, something they were going to have to work on. "I thought you were gone too Eva.....had I known.....I had no idea...I would have rescued you....I swear I would have..." He said with a heavy sigh putting his head on top of hers looking over at his father...he didn't even know where to start with this....he knew what she had been through and didn't even want to repeat it. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he winced slightly but recovered from her mind link... easily enough. "Eva... you have no fear here to worry about. We shall protect you but I will be asking you and the other women who had paid for you and where you had been all this time. I will only do so if you are able to actually handle it though. I will not press you to remember if you can not." he went up to her and his son with a bit of a worried look... "I will have Nimena to help her with her... skills, Tylan. I have a feeling she is going to do and be alright... just needs a bit of time." he knew what time can do for a person as he had to do so as well.~
§aᵯɐɇl : had been wandering about, He would hear a voice speak of thinking people were dead and it being the reason why she wasn't found for so long. *No child...it was because they simply didn't care...why do you think it took them so long to find you now...they didn't care...until they finally had a reason to have you around...I bet they didn't even search for you.* The creature spoke as he headed off towards Mirror Lake, His elven form toned and held a glow to it.<e>
Eva : let go of her brother and looked to the king bowing her head and trying the link again in that ethereal voice. ~There were fifteen of us, most of us young girls when we were taken, I was fifteen when I was abducted in daylight from my mothers house when she was working in Elm Dorei. We lived under the farm house...underground....pulled up to .......service men that paid master.....and...~ Her mind link got interrupted by a male voice moving into her head talking about how they didn't care. How they didn't look. She moved away from both of them screaming from her mind. ~No, NO THAT'S NOT TRUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED IF THEY KNEW I WAS ALIVE I KNOW THEY WOULD!!! NO!!~ She was already shaky to begin with and that made things worse and broke her concentration on her story. Which made her fall to her knees once again because she was distraught and she had no idea of the male whom was speaking to her but he sounded like one of those bad men she had to service. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : Holding his head in pain!~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Well! She had wandered upon some episode of crazies! Volume one! She peeked around the corner and watched. "Huh! Weeeeeeeeird! And people say I am totally weird". She watched the scene between Lucien and Eva. Her eye brow slightly raised up. Wait... she knew that mother fucker! That was the guy with the forest nympho! "Are you serious?! Hitting on yet another chick!" Her voice slightly carried.. but she was slightly hidden by the corner of the wall.[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He too would feel the pain from such an intrusion but he would go and crouched down next to her only to take her into his arms and hold onto her tightly... "Relax young one... no one is here to hurt you. ignore whom or whatever you maybe hearing." he stammered in pain... pain that he knew his beloved would feel from himself. He was not going to let her go and with the pain from Eva's mind link to ANYONE in close range he had not really heard what was said or even realized that there was another close by ~
§aᵯɐɇl : *Oh but you see...how long have you been gone...I am sure you had/have some family that knew about you...if so...why didn't they come find you...hmm?* He'd speak back to her before reaching the lake, The male would groan and shake his head as that goodie two shoes attempted to stop what he was doing at the moment. *Mmm...come seek me out alone...and I shall speak with you personally...more...if you are curious about anything...I do have little information to give.* The male would smile softly before cutting his telepathic link to her.<e>
Eva : ~Man said it was because you guys didn't care....that no one bothered to search.....it was because you thought like I thought, Tylan thought I was dead like I thought Tylan was dead, I have seen no one in thirty years....The man nearby is evil...." She said still crying her silent tears trying to speak as quietly as she could but having a hard time, she was so tiny compared to Lucien and Tylan. She heard the man speak to her again and then cut himself off and she shook her head scared finally looking up at Lucien still with tears in her eyes. ~The man that said those bad things wants me to meet him alone......I don't want to I am scared....He is evil....~ <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : heard everything save for what this man was telling her, he could only go by what Eva was saying telepathically and she never lied before as a child. "I don't think she has gone crazy father, maybe a little strange from her ordeal, but she has never been one to lie before, I think someone is linking to her I could feel the link appear and cut off.." He said as he looked around to see Athena speaking out to his father he raised a brow. "This chick...happens to be his niece madam..." <e>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She tilted her head to the side and glanced at the male that spoke with his 'superior' tone. " OH! I know you! Your the douche bag that awoke me from a slumber..." And with that she had slipped around the corner. Her arms slightly crossed under her breasts. The polar bear peeked his massive head out from the side. His fuzzy hears twitching slightly. "Shhh grown ups..you know.. they are talking. So Shhhhhhh" Boundaries.. gone. Well hell what boundaries!?[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He would look up to his son after Eva passed out and sighed... "Take her back to the infirmary and be sure that no one but the women go near her.. well also the healers but only the women." he would watch as Tylan took her from his arms and due to the dress nearly being as much as his cousin... Tylan would have no worries carrying her back into the Castle to the infirmary. He then tilted his head and slowly glanced on over to Athena. "Ah the one that had given me a ride home, that day. As I tried to tell you before... there was nothing sexual between us... only a spar match.. that is it." he grimaced slightly~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Her head tilted to the side as she looked very.. unconvinced. " Uh huh.." She muttered and stepped beside him. Her eyes locked upon his as she circled around him. " Your familiar. We've met before..and I don't mean in the forest. Some other place. Some other time.. Weird". Athena stepped right into his 'personal bubble'. Close enough it would possibly creep the hell out of Lucien. " You.. used to be Nimena's personal guard... Where is my long time friend!?" [[d]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would sigh and just shake his head slightly but then when she mentioned on whom she was... he blinked and yes... now he remembered her too... "Ah... she is in the castle some place... I am sure. Athena? right? Now I remember you.. it has been a long time since the last I had seen you with the young Lady Nimena... my wife." he smiled slightly as he was actually surprised that Athena had not put two and two together... as of yet. "That is the woman I was trying to tell you about when you found me in that field that day." ~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : "Wait..... WAIT one second..!" She held up her finger and stared at him. Her face pressed closer towards his chin. Body slightly flushed against his. " Oh my god! But she was a child when you looked after her! And.. you married her?! EWWWWW" Her eyes slightly narrowed a bit as she flicked his left nipple! Well.. she couldn't very well grab his ear. He was too damn tall! " You married her.. what? When she had just turned eighteen? Oh my god! And..then that chick?! How many women do you need in your harem?" The girl slid back slowly. " All.. and all.. I think I will need to shadow you for today. Just to make sure.. you are true...." If he denied.. Athena wouldn't listen and would follow him anyways.[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he would palmface himself... "No... I married her like eight or nine years ago. We even have a child as well and I am very, very loyal to her and NO YOU MAY NOT SHADOW ME!" now he raised his voice as he was slowly becoming annoyed with her... "Go see Nimena. I am sure she will have lots of things to talk to you about." he nodded his head only to start to head back into the castle to go for meetings and the likes but... growls when he noted that Athena was keeping to her word. He would look to a flame and suddenly... he was gone from view... "Go see, Nimena" he would put through to Athena and then he was totally gone.~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ "Alright.. two can play that game Lucien. Don't you remember when Nimena and I use to play.. Who came out the champ each and every time? Yo..." She grinned and slipped around the corner. It seemed for the moment she was gone. Laughter fading down the hallway. When he did make a reappearance.. BAM! Athena would be standing behind him. With a big grin upon her lips. With her arms crossed. " Oh I will shadow you Lucien. Because I can... Because You need me to. I mean I'm sure your office is just boring. With boring colors. And no heads on pikes! Well we are going to change that! Make it all scary and every few feet place a head on a pike! It shows male rawrness.."[[D]]
Crimsonkyu : would slowly get to his feet from being in the hot spring he created for his use in his spare time , putting on his new cloths he would slowly open the door walking out as then shutting the door behind him. Slowly he would make his way towards the chair behind the desk as he would slowly take a set. Pulling a book out of thin air he would slowly opening it pages and started to read. "hmmmmmm ". He would say to himself as he would turn the piece of parchment and keep reading to himself. D>
Lyeli : -Stepping out of my room, my hair was pulled back into a braid, the bell upon my ear jingled and the crystal dangled from my ear. While walking to the little kitchen area to get some food, the crystal ball would float behind me as it flashed in different colors to get my attention. Turning to it then over to the desk seeing crimson reading some papers. Keeping quiet, my ears lowered back to muffle the bell so it didn't make sound not wanting to interrupt his reading. Moving through the kitchen to start making something to eat that would be easy to do, with enough for two people. Finishing the food which was just a simple rice with some beef, with mushrooms, with a sauce to go on top of it. Putting it into two different bowls. I leave the little kitchen walking over to crimson and setting one of the bowls down next to his elbow with a fork in it. I move off to the side to summon another book. Sitting down to start reading it quietly and to eat my food. <>D
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She had just finished up creating a rather interesting look for Lucien's office. Piked heads..pretty much everywhere. It looked like a scene out of saw. Black walls. Red drapes. A throne like chair made out of skulls. Athena laughed all the way home. Entering the lab with a rather dark grin upon her lips. Her hair a bright color of orange. The look upon her face screamed she had just caused a crap ton of trouble. " Well good day all!" She called and slipped over to crimson. He was Obviously so busy with his work. So she slipped upon his lap and whistled loudly. The bear pretty much rolled down the damn stairs. Finally landing with a soft thud. He grumbled loudly and opened his eyes. Giving his usual bear yawn. Loud.. and loud. Fuzzy front paws stretching forward. Only to drag across the floor. Ass slightly up in the air. " Pretty sure..Lucien will make an appearance sometime today..I decided his office was too boring.."[[d]]
Crimsonkyu : The book would vanish as he would wrap his arms around Athena as give her a light kiss on the lips, " So with that look on your face, how much of a shit storm did you bring me my wife. Also this is my ... Little Fox. " He would look at the food the Fox put down for him ."Thank you little fox , This looks good. Also this is my wife Athena, Athena this is my little fox. " He would reach over and place his hand on the top of her hand and started to give her a lite pat or two . " So my two pets, what have have you too been up today?" He would say lightly his other hand would slowly move up Athena body , making sure to hit all the fun spots and then gently placing his hand around her neck and gently rubs it and her cheeks , lips as well. D>
Lyeli : -sitting there on the floor near him while i eat my food, and read the book. My ears perked up at the sound of Athena coming into the area. Keeping quiet still heavily engrossed in the food and book. My ears would follow her movement, the bell would jingle just a bit. Still reading the book slowly, and jumping when he touched my head with his hand petting it. Holding still, not moving under his hand while he pets me. My ears would flick against his hand while i sat there. Not looking up to meet either of their eyes while i sat there holding my bowl with the book across my lap. Knowing he was talking to the both of us. I remain quiet sitting there and listening, taking in a slow deep breath and letting it go slowly. My voice was a soft whisper.- your welcome. -unsure how to answer his question since i had slept the majority of the day away.- <D
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [["Pet? pf.. Wife yes.. but no not pet.." She tilted her head to the side and glanced towards the fox. Her smile was as usual, creepy. " Well hello there fox! You and I.. we should totally go shopping.." She winked and turned her head to the side. Her chin grazing against her shoulder as she smirked at Crimson. " Oh so much annoyance.. but now I am home. " She sighed softly. Ehden had wandered over towards Athena and Crimson. He plunked his body down, all four paws sprawled out Head tilted to the side as his black eyes stared up towards the three of them. "Lucien was Nimena's guard.. back when we were both children. So weird to hear he is nimena's husband. I mean just... soooo weird. All and all I figured today was a good day.." [[D]]
Eva : was placed in a bed by Tylan earlier this afternoon and she wasn't feeling well when she awoke, her head was splitting. She sat up and looked around, there was a woman that was sitting in the room with her while she slept and came over to check her forehead and what not when she awoke. She was a little jumpy but allowed the woman to touch her, Tylan having but his best men outside her door to make sure that no males came into Eva's room Tylan had went after Gisselle to explain to her the situation. Meanwhile Eva was very hungry rubbing her stomach. The infirmary maid had already had a plate up with fruit and cheese and some bread with mead to help keep her settled. The woman noticed her rubbing her stomach and smiled setting the plate on her lap. The woman didn't have to speak to know what she needed, and Eva started eating quietly. Eva didn't know she was being inducted into the royal family now, so a lot of things were going to change in her life even though she was used to being a lower class citizen before the whole ordeal as a slave. She wanted to know how the other girls were doing but she was too afraid of seeing that man that was entering her head. Not a good predicament to be in at the moment.<e>
Crimsonkyu : " Really he was the body guard for Nimena , go figure ... for guard to king just like that. not a bad way to get in if you ask me. Also is seems like some one tried to kill Gisselle and that does not sit well with me " His fingers would lowly move down the little fox's ear and he would give the bell a light flick. " Little fox i have a job for you, I need you to delvers some parchments to the king and to Gisselle , you will do this for me wont you ." He would say giving the bell on her ear another flick. " I am sorry love i know your not my pet it was just a word. I am happy that you are home now, i build a new floor and its a hot springs , so you and your bear and enjoy a soak when ever you like my wife. " He would give a light laugh as the thought of little fox and athena hanging out was funny . " Sounds like a good time to be had, please take the little fox shopping love i am sure she would enjoy that very much ." He would flick her bell ones more. D>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : wanted more then anything to find the man responsible for invading his cousin's mind. He was going to find out who he was and find out how to get rid of him. She had been through enough after her ordeal being gone for thirty years, and he blamed himself, he should of looked for her, but his mother was dying at the time and then shortly after her mother died.....and he didn't think Evawynn knew she was dead. This was just getting more and more frustrating. Not to mention the rumored assassination attempt on Gisselle and then the Nosamir situation on top of not finding the attempted assassin. It was a wonder his father was still keeping his sanity, he handled eva in this state better then he could, but in the Underdark he wasn't a slave as long as his father, Lucien was a slave for years.....but At Eva's young age she probably had him beat by a decade give or take a few. Who was next? Elera? Nimena? Thraele? No he had to get back into the game and dive in head first and get to the bottom of all this bullshit before it swallows his family whole. He headed to the dining hall to get something to eat for right now and would make sure the other women got to their rooms safely before someone else had a problem with the strange male attempting to put idea's into the young woman's minds. <E>
Lyeli : -sitting there upon the floor i move my ear away from his fingers, Moving a bit away from his fingers to have him leave the bell alone. Only that i was still in arms reach of him still playing with the bell. The one ear would flatten against my head to keep the bell from moving around. Trying to go back to eating my dinner/breakfast, Taking in a deep breath and lifting my head up when i heart her saying we should go shopping. Biting my lower lip since i didn't like crowds or open spaces. Breathing in deeply and letting it go keeping it calm and not panicked. whispering softly.- no thank you Miss. -finishing what was in my bowl as i sat there, catching to what he asked about taking some letters up to the castle. My other ear would lower back against my head, unsure about that walk to the castle with the open spaces. Panic starts to really set in now while i sat there upon the floor. Keeping my voice soft still.- I am sure sir that you have a different way of sending correspondence to those you wish to speak with. Without sending me to the castle .- not really refusing to take the letters per his request but giving him a different way of doing it so i didn't have to face the wide out doors.- <D
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : made sure that all the rooms were taken care of for the women and she helped insure that they were comfortable and she was going to figure out with Nimena how to give them jobs within the castle and towns tomorrow. Save for Eva, she was going to move eventually to one of the top floor rooms, but it was going to be a while till they could get one settled for her, she wasn't going to move her away from the castle, not at this time. Not with the events that took place today that she heard about from Tylan. Wearing a burgundy and gold trimmed gown with a gold small circlet she moved to the main hall with her cup of tea, there was so much to plan for, having seamstresses make dresses for the girls for the ball and a few extra outfits for them, sending out invitations, having the large ball room prepared for the next couple of weeks, Darius was going to escort her, She was worried about maybe finding escorts for the girls, maybe letting them attend on their own, she was sure they weren't into male company after what they had been through, she was throwing the party for them after all. To find out there was more family as well she was excited about, her family was growing and growing after her own mother had left, it was amazing how much they grew. She was going to invite the whole kingdom and the neighboring ally kingdoms as well. Palast, Olath, Insidious, Waterway, all kinds. Though she wasn't sure who would go, bit it wouldn't matter, it would be fun anyways. <e>
Shirley : had spent months wandering about the lands after Nikola had brought her back from hell, Her long black silken dress swayed and flown behind her as she walked gracefully but yet playfully at the same time. Some tree's would wither and die but it wasn't her fault consciously, It was the environment she had been in for most of her time there. "I see pretty pretty pretty flower's and plant's!!! but it makes me sad to know...know...know...that I can't ever touch them or be around them them them,,," It would seem like that rule of three had gotten worse since she had left Nighthowl and Nikola as well as her sister, The creature would mosey on and soon found herself stumbling upon the castle grounds once more. Making her way to the castle she would smile and wave at the guards, Soon she would speak up to them in a kind manner. "Hello!!! I am new to these lands!!! I wish to make friends...or or or at least try!" The creature would nod as some of her words came out in a set of three, She would stand there and rock on her feet back and forth swinging her hip's forwards and backwards. It was very clear there was something completely wrong with her mental state.<e>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Randomly passes out in crimson's arms. " just snuggle me in bed.. or put me near the hot springs.." she muttered [[d]]
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She was informed that there was someone at the castle gates, a female. She blinked and told the guards to bring her in. If allowed the woman would be lead into the main hall, Gisselle had her back to her setting her tea cup down before turning around to look at the woman who was here to make friends. It wasn't someone new to these lands. It was Shirley, the demon that once long ago tried to kill her because she had the silly notion that Gisselle and Drakkonis were an item, when it was nothing more then he was assisting her with a demon problem, and up comes Shirley trying to strike her down, if it wasn't for Drakkonis and Ravyn she wouldn't be standing. She looked to Shirley and spoke out. "You are far from new here.....why have you returned. "She knew she was safe but she needed to make sure what was happening. "Drakkonis...." She called out softly watching her movements as she had the guards at the door keep watch with a hand signal. <e>
Drakkonis : would come to the call of Gisselle with a quick foot, Shortly after appearing the creature whom she had summoned looked directly at Shirley. "I ate you...PIECE BY FUCKING PIECE!!!! HOW DID YOU COME BACK!!! HOW DID YOU GET YOUR SOUL!!!! IT WAS CAST TO THE HELLS BELOW AFTER I PASSED IT THROUGH MY VERY BEING!!!!" The creature would step forward and stared the woman directly in the eye's, He would growl and soon poofed just as he struck her with a clawed hand.
Shirley : Shirley's left cheek started to bleed and was forced to the ground from the attack, The bleeding seemed to not want to stop at all. It kept bleeding and soon she started to actually cry out in pain, Though her head started to spin and cause even more problems. Though she still didn't know why she was being targeted the way she was.
William : Then suddenly another presence made himself known. Elysium wing's would spread as William came into view facing the queen herself, Narrowed eye's and arm's spread. Though if the queen seemed to try to speak she would feel a warm sensation run past her lip's and cause her jaw muscles to become numb. "Listen... Do not speak... This Shirley isn't that of whom I have slain many year's ago... nor... is it the one Drakkonis had slain as well... her fate... it has changed... and I do not know how... or why it did... This is not... the Shirley you know... physically... it is... but... she is not in there... she is different." The creature would look into Gisselle's eye's. "Nod if you understand... if you do... then I will remove the silence I have put on you." He stated.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She felt her jaw muscles and her throat become numb as a hand went to her slender throat trying to speak out but unable to get any words out, her ladies maids came to her checking to see if she was alright fearing she was choking but she wasn't. She just couldn't speak and confused, then William started speaking after Drakkonis made that horrifying scene, which she wasn't expecting. She thought maybe he could give some insight on what was going on, William wasn't there that day how could she know he knew anything about it? After hearing his explanation she nodded and felt her voice coming back to her. She looked over to Shirley speaking out. "The last time I saw your figure you tried to kill me out of jealousy, that was the last time I saw you and I saw you struck down back to hell myself that night. This is the first time I have seen you since you made the attempt on my life, do you not remember any of it?" She asked curiously, thought Gisselle still wasn't sure, it could be a ruse to get close which she feared, she already had an attempt on her life recently. So she was cautious. She did feel a little bit different, the last Shirley would have laughed maniacally after getting struck and would have stricken back. So Gisselle was extremely confused at this point waiting for a response from Shirley to her question. <e>
Shirley : William would step aside and aid Shirley in healing, The female would listen to Gisselle as she spoke and soon shook her head. "No... I don't remember anything but the punishment I had received in hell... The only thing I remember is that I was in hell... after dying when I was just a little girl...girl girl...." The creature would sniffle and wipe her nose before standing up on her own, Shirley would smile softly and bow to the queen and spoke once more. "I don't blame you... whatever I had done in the past... I am sure sure sure... I deserve worse than what I I I got..." She would sigh and raise to a full stand once more. "Nikola, My sister's soon to be husband came and risked a lot for me... at the request of my sister Shirley... it was apparent she missed me." The creature would say before looking to the ground sadly, She had lost track of where her sister had gone.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : would listen to the girl and to William and she sighed heavily, what was it with these powerful beings and loosing their memories constantly, Drakkonis, Ravyn and now this one. Who was next? She looked to her and back to William speaking out. "Take her back to the infirmary to be looked after, give her some food, I will alert my father of the situation and give her a room here tonight. I need to see to Drakkonis and explain to him the situation in the dungeon. Take care of her William please" She said nodding to the woman and sighing heavily. "You are pardoned for now...your safe.." She said running her hands through her hair in frustration and left the main hall to head for the portal to the dungeons and try to explain this mess to Drakkonis before things got out of hand. <e>
Lord Blackheart : had been walking down the hall towards the throne room, his right hand behind his back, while his left was holding a rather old looking tome. Beside him on the wall, the man's shadow was casually playing with a small arrow, the figure gently twisting, and flipping it between his fingers as the man made his way into the area, though his eyes were still pointed down at the tome in his hand. "Hmm." It was here, when he raised his eyes from his reading, his thumb marking where he left off. "Hello Shirley."
William : would look over at Gisselle as she spoke and then soon towards Damien, The creature would step between Damien and Shirley. "We've been over this already Damien... back in Nighthowl..." He'd narrow his gaze upon the man before reaching behind him and taking Shirley's hands in his own, Normally he wouldn't touch another but because of what Nimena had done for him he was able to as long as he was within the castle. "Yes my Queen." The creature would then disappear with Shirley taking her to the infirmary, Once there he'd have the healer's look after her while he remained by her side.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : had missed Damien, her primary focus was Drakkonis and his anger before it got him in deeper trouble then he was already in, she shouldn't of called him but he was the first person she thought of when she laid eyes on Shirley because he was the reason the Shirley in the past was trying to kill her to begin with. Well that ruled her out as a suspect in the poisoning, or did it? Was it a ruse? She wasn't sure. A lot of things were going through her mind as she headed down in the dungeons being lead to Drakkonis's cell and when she reached it she spoke out to him softly. "There has been a mishap. Apparently William made it abundantly clear that.... Shirley is indeed not the Shirley we knew. She has lost her memories and apparently Delilah begged for her life to be returned to her using Nikola to do so. " Question was did Delilah get with Nikola for this very result or was she really in love? That was a situation she was not even going to get close to getting involved with that. <e>
·Izzy· : *"Stupid, stupid little human, with a pathetic lust for power that isn't yours to take..." Izzy spoke unnervingly calmly, standing oddly still and looking at the roughly human shape in front of her, beaten and pinned to a tree by a jutting, broken branch through the chest and embedded into the trunk behind it. "...Except you're not human any more, are you? You're...What did he tell you? 'Ascended'? 'Divine'? Simply 'Better'?" She smirked, but it wasn't a happy smirk. It was one that tried - unsuccessfully - to hide a level of disgust that was practically palpable. Shrugging and starting to walk away, she paused for a moment, turning back and moving closer to the humanoid covered in some kind of inky black tar-like substance. Her own wounds were inconsequential to her right now. "...You can hear me, can't you? Controlling your little pet abomination here. You sent him to gather intelligence? How's this for intelligence? I'm alive, and I want my wings back..." She paused, head cocking to one shoulder for a moment. The field around her had gone from a heat-haze like thing to full-on embers now, crawling around her like they were sentient. "I want my home back...I want my FAMILY back. But seeing as that's not possible? I'll just settle for hurting yours, and you with it." Every strike would cause a burst of Holy energy from the thing, like some kind of pulsing beacon. The last strike entirely engulfed the once-man, and herself, in flame that lasted just a moment, leaving nothing but Izzy collapsing to knees in front of a pile of ashes and a slightly scorched, but overall mostly unharmed, tree. Well, at least Gisselle didn't see her lose control. Not after all her own little talks about keeping all situations under wraps and constructively feeding off of emotion.*
Lord Blackheart : watched as the both of them had left, followed shortly by the young royal, though she went in a different direction, the man continuing to walk towards the balcony of the throne room. "Sivella, I believe it is time for one of my lessons." He reached out, his thoughts without spoken word, though he continued on as well. "If you would like to learn, than meet me in the throne room of Eladrin castle, and I will teach you a few things." He then severed the link, but only so she could still respond back.
Drakkonis : would give a growl behind the door Gisselle stood before, The creature would bang on the door once. "I don't care... the very sight of her infuriates me!!" The creature spoke back before pacing his room, He didn't go back and forth but in circles instead. Drakkonis would slam a fist into the wall making a thud, The creature would hiss and spoke up once more. "As long as she remains within these lands... or at least looks like that... I will remain in this cell!" He stopped and banged on the door once more before going back to pacing a circle in his room.<e>
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : heard her new sire calling her about needing to learn a new lesson. Wearing a simple black gown she pulled her hair back into a ponytail low at the neck and entered into the main hall where she saw Damien inside. She folded her hands in front of her and brown colored eyes looked over at him, completely elven in appearance accept for her fangs she spoke out to Damien. "I am here, you summoned me for a lesson?" She asked curiously, if it was one thing Sivella was it was prompt. She had finished her chores and waited for Damien to respond to summoning her.<e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : would feel yet again another disturbance in the force as she felt heavy amounts of holy energy getting blasted not far away. She shimmered to the location she felt the blast and it was none other then Izzy taking it out on a humanoid like individual. Izzy was loosing control, speaking about wanting her family back. This was not the Izzy she knew, no this was the vulnerable Izzy, the hurt and angry Izzy. Wings outstretched as she spoke out to Izzy in a commanding like tone. "Enough!" She called out speaking to her a little softer now that she got her attention. "What is the meaning of this? What is going on here?" She had felt other disturbances as well but she felt Drakkonis, William, Damien and others nearby so she let them handle the castle end, she was handling the outside as she waited for a response on what was going on outside. <e>
Lord Blackheart : smiled as the young lady made her way out to the balcony, the man now tossing his tome into the air with a casual nod of his head. "Yes, I wanted to teach you more about what you are, and how to deal with such things." He informed, the man now seating his self on the edge of the balcony, the tome having faded out of reality like a spirit would when banished. "How are you enjoying this spark of life, by the way?" He inquired, his head tilting to the left a little bit, as he gestured her to seat as well.
·Izzy· : *The sound of something shifting into being behind her and the shout for enough had the already on-alert Izzy bound to her feet and spin around, instinctively dropping into a combative stance for a few moments before she saw just who it was. "This?" A finger less gloved hand motioned behind her to the ash and tar-like puddle that was formerly the being she was letting fury out on. "This is simply me doing what I've always promised I would, Nimena. Keeping this place safe from the parasites that crawl in the shadows." As much as she respected Nimena, Izzy didn't back down at all, or question her own motives or justification. She was headstrong like that. "That...Thing...May have had the body of a human. It might even have seemed as fragile as one. But it wasn't." She seemed to almost treat this like a game. Like any other kind of hunt. She always did take some incredible pleasure in her work. The darker and more base, the better. She turned back to look at the remains. "...You're doing the eyes, aren't you? Don't. Whatever was good in him died a long time ago. It was consumed, hollowed out and used as a vessel for infection and murder. That's how the Veil work and all they are. They're not people, they're not able to be saved. They're...A nightmare. Nothing more." She'd mentioned the Veil in passing before, usually with some kind of worry, but since returning from her years away? That worry and fear was replaced with pure, practically-elemental hatred, it seemed. Once more, she turned to face the elf. It was odd. This was partly the vulnerable Izzy, and this was obviously as personal as it got. But at the same time, she seemed oddly...Alive with it. More authoritative and sure of herself than was usual. Both Draconic and Angelic sides showing together as one entity.*
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : nodded and took a seat next to him nodding about teaching her more about herself in essence. She let out a soft sigh speaking out. "To be perfectly honest, kinda glad I don't look like a scary monster all the time anymore and I fit into the crowd of the court, not to mention I don't feel the urge to bite the Queen every now and then is a plus..." She said with a chuckle crossing one leg over the other. "And yet.....cannot seem to do my job properly. Queen almost getting poisoned, this slave thing, ohh and apparently a family member of the royals turned up from that unfortunate slave pile, apparently a lady cousin to Tylan, shes apparently mute, but the king has ordered no males around her till further notice, apparently one entered her mind trying to get her to meet him...strange..." She said with a shrug finding out her information by listening in when Tylan was speaking to Gisselle. It was bad to be nosy but when it came to Gisselle, essentially that was a lady in waiting's job now wasn't it? <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : blinked speaking out. "No...not giving you the eyes, what gave you that idea?" She said curiously as she looked to the black goopy puddle near them and sighed lightly. "Well obviously if that is the end result your right he couldn't have been any good, was just trying to figure out what the hell those energy spikes were...now that I know...well...I am good, see the night is turning out interesting for you.." She said with a chuckle as she looked back to the castle and then back to Izzy. "It has come to my attention that there was evil right under our very noses. Have a group of girls at our castle...slaves....one of them happened to be my step sons cousin, went missing thirty years ago....they were found at a farmhouse...some underground, the actual slavers whereabouts unknown at this time but apparently they had been running it in Eladrin since Arafina's reign. I know because some of them were asking what happened to Queen Arafina, that being the last Queen they remember..." Makes sense right? She shrugged her shoulders. "My husband has been trying to work with this cousin Evawynn....Tylan calling her Eva.....said a male was trying to enter her mind earlier speaking to her in telepathy. She kept telepathing my husband that the man was evil.....she has a problem focusing her messages to one person, they kind of spread out to everyone in the vicinity.....apparently she caught the attention of the wrong crowd. " She explained to Izzy looking over to her motioning her to walk back with her to the castle. <e>
·Izzy· : *"I've come to expect people to consider my methods brutal. They'd be right to, I suppose. But I'm done losing people." This was a slightly unnerving state for Izzy to be in. When she was emotional, she was at her most dangerous before. She had spent a significant amount of her time away, learning to focus. That meant that now? Well, Nimena was able to sense the power about her. All that focused into one thing for one moment. The training had apparently made her deadlier now than ever. Her head turned to momentarily shoot a silver glance at the woman she called friend. "'Interesting'?! Don't be condescending." It would have been considered snappy, were it not so...Empty and cold. She sighed, shaking her head and internally screaming at herself before looking back. "...I'm sorry. I don't mean...This is..." She growled quietly, balling her hands into fists for a moment and walking away a couple of steps before moving back to her original position. "...The field around Triskelion is failing. Agents of the Veil can get out, clearly, even if their masters can't. That's bad enough. I'm just..." She took a deep breath, looking to Nimena and speaking quietly. "Imagine knowing that the things that destroyed everything you knew and loved were resurfacing. How would you feel?" This was probably the most uneasy and emotional Nimena had ever seen her, and yet it all seemed to be channeled into a slightly manic fury, bubbling up to...Whatever this was. She was very much her, but more on edge. More ready to destroy. She listened to the explanation of the things happening at the castle, hoping it'd distract her. The mention of slavers caused her to growl again under her breath. Yeah, that was a surefire way to send Izzy on a warpath. "...Pray I don't find them." She started walking with her significantly calmer friend, the movements of the huntress very fluid and almost predatory in nature. That part of her that she'd kept under wraps for a long time was waking up. Scariest for her? It felt...Liberating.*
Lord Blackheart : listened as she spoke to him, though the thoughts of all the things going wrong with the castle, it did cause him to frown while she spoke of each incident. "First my niece has something happen, now there's slavers trying to take more family?" He inquired, though his voice patterns held more curiosity than anything else. He had learned from an early age how dangerous his own emotions could be, so he often kept them to his self. It was here, when the man would shift his violet blue gaze over towards her with a nod of his head. "That being said though, I did ask you up here so you could learn more about yourself, so let's get started on that, shall we?" He awaited for the day-walker to respond to him, before he would start his lessons, the man's shadow below them twitching its legs every so often, despite the man being still as he sat on the ledge. "With all this mess happening to the castle, and the royal family as targets, they could probably use all the assistance they can get, after we're done."
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : listened to him for a moment and shook her head speaking out. "No not trying to take more family, apparently they had this family member for over thirty years right under their very noses.." She said in soft tones as she stood up after he said lets get started on the lessons. She folded her hands in front of her and spoke out. "Very well then, what is it you want me to do sire?" She asked curiously as those brown eyes stared up at him not changing colors for now, she appeared as a simple elf with fangs for the moment. This was her favorite appearance it seemed. "I am ready when you are .." She said waiting to see what she was to do now, could get interesting. <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : Well that was shocking, Izzy snapping at Nim..... nope never happened. She blinked speaking out. "Condescending? Me? Erm...... nope..... just said it was interesting to have such... beings in this neck of the woods and they deserve what they get if they cause that much destruction nothing more.....I think your.....hotter then a soup pot at the moment, maybe you should take a breath and listened to what I am saying dear..." She knew lots about Izzy, and her past, Izzy has let it slip to her more then once and she has said nothing of it. She shook her head as she tried to apologize. "No need for apologies. I have almost lost this home and my family more then once.. To very dangerous creatures and kinds. From evil rulers to evil demons. It is not easy protecting those you love or lands you love...if my enemies somehow resurface.....send them back where they belong, that's what you are doing now and I have not said one thing bad against it......but.....occasionally, ask for help instead of trying to do everything on your own....if you need to be relieved of duties here to take care of them I understand, all you need to do is ask..." Nim was trying to help Izzy calm.....but Izzy was not in her right frame of mind right now. "Will a visit to someone less fortunate help calm your nerves, I was on my way to meet the girl to try and help with her telepathy troubles.......why don't you come with me?" She asked curiously to Izzy hoping that someone quiet literally would calm her. <e>
·Izzy· : *shook her head slowly. "...I know. I'm sorry. I just...Every time I've closed my eyes since the Fall, I've seen the same things play out again and again. A stupid child too weak and small to do anything about it. And now it's happening again. Some of the border towns the refugees moved to have started being attacked again. Cultists, bandits...Things. The Veil feed on fear and doubt. And these ones around here? You're safe for now." She smirked to hide a wince as she rolled shoulders back, momentarily thinking she could feel her wings again. This subject always gave her this discomfort. "They can't pass the wards yet. Doubtful they ever will. But they're seekers. Looking for me. They want to finish the job. The sliver of positivity? The ones pulling the strings feel what their puppets do." Well, that explained the extreme outburst. Small as it was, it was a rebellion of sorts. Using the link to her own advantage. Nobody else around, she smirked and shook her head slightly, stopping for a moment to lean against a tree, silver hair moving back to rest against it. "...You know...It's funny. I can just imagine my father. 'Isabella, with rage like this you'll make the most volatile Queen imaginable. You have to learn to control it.'..." She chuckled slightly, before sighing it off. That was one thing she'd NEVER mentioned. But if anybody deserved to know just who she was, it was Nimena. A deep breath and a few moments to compose herself, and she pushed off of the tree with a boot, nodding slightly. "If your enemies resurface, there won't be enough of them to send back. That is my purpose, isn't it? 'The mercy of angels'..." One of several names she'd been given in the past, by some nightmarish thing she'd destroyed moments after trying to make her doubt her purpose. It only reaffirmed it. She had her doubts about being around a telepath in her current mindset, but nodded slowly, trying to at least appear calm, not convincing herself but trying to put on the act outwardly. "...Lead the way."*
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but smile, the fledgling being eager to learn just what it was he had done, and just what other gifts she had. "I would like to teach you more about what you are first." He began with a nod. "You have probably noticed that your thirst, and your hunger rarely surface, if ever at all, as well as the fact you can be around blood, without it affecting your mind." He informed her with a smirk. "This is because unlike most, a true vampire only feeds when they need energy, blood no longer a source of their nutrition." He taught, the man continuing on though. "Not only that, but a true vampire has a certain ethereal beauty surrounding them." He reached out, to gently trace his hand along her face, before settling it back into his pocket. "They will never age in appearance and mind, as most creatures will." He informed. "Your body is now sustained by the universe, so you are even able to go without rest." He nodded. "These can still be ignored though, should you wish to keep up appearances in these lands, your hunger being that for food, and meals." He began. "Your thirst slaked by fine wines, fresh teas, and juices, or even milk and water." It was here, when he would tilt his head a little. "Should you desire a rest, you do not have to worry about being in a cramped box, that likely smells of manure." He laughed. "A true vampire is able to ignore such things, as you can take your rest in a bed, or cot of your choice. Even garlic and silver hold no power over you, as they likely used to."
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : was taking all this inn and nodded. "Made sense I was able to complete all my chores without wanting to bite into one of those pretty necks or need a box to sleep in the morning time when everyone was waking for their breakfast....though I did taste some wine not too long ago...it did taste much better then when I was under Yaksha...." She said nodding. The not being allergic to Sun, Garlic and silver was indeed a perk. Made her wonder what else she can do since all she really has to do is breathe in air. She chuckled speaking out. "So .....can sleep on a bed, eat with others as they eat without getting sick and not wanting to suck the life out of em......can play in the daylight....hmmm those all sound like pros to me....so tell me...what are the cons, cause I haven't really heard any yet..?" She asked curiously blinking at him especially when he touched her face...coming from him it was....kinda weird since he was her sire now....kinda like a father figure, but she wouldn't discuss that since even as an elf she really didn't know him... <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : "Trust me with you around, I have no worries especially what i felt from you, I have vanquished a few darklings before in my past.....I know what it is to need to be rid of them especially when those close to you are threatened, and your father is mistaken......your not volatile, your just Izzy..." She said with a chuckle as she motioned for her to follow. It was there they made their trek back to the castle where she could hear her brother and Sivella speaking, must be training season she thought to herself, Sivella was training with Damien, She was soon to train this young girl she was about to check on, Gisselle was suppose to be training the elder children at some point, Lucien was training some guards, Tylan was training rangers, and Thraele....well...was idle....something she would have to work on after her pregnancy is through. In the meantime. They headed up to the third floor room they had put Eva in till further notice. Passing by the pair of guards at the girls door left by Tylan and she opened the door knocking at the same time. Looking for this Eva whom people were speaking about. <e>
¤Eva¤ : was in her bed chambers, She had finally finished her food and set the plate on the nightstand still wearing one of Gisselle's dresses, one of her common ones but still it felt heavy and overbearing. Eva made a sign language symbol to the handmaiden saying thank you when she heard the knock and saw the door opening climbing out of bed quickly. There she saw the two what looked to be very powerful women walking into the room. She had no idea whom they were or what was happening now. She had met so many strangers at this point she didn't know who was good, bad, indifferent or otherwise, but she did what she normally did when she was scared these past thirty years or so, dropped to her knees in the slave bow position with her hands on the ground which made Nimena raise an eyebrow and look at Izzy. The handmaiden in the room just sighed and tried to pick the girl back up off the ground. This seemed to be the thing she did when she wanted to keep out of trouble or from being beaten. Little did she know those things did not happen that way in this castle. Though it was her first time here so she didn't know any better. <e>
Lord Blackheart : lowered his face, the man's violet blue eyes closing when she mentioned the down sides to this lifestyle. It was one he knew well, since he was almost the same in many aspects. "There are but two down sides to living this way, the first being that while you do not age, all you can do, is watch those around you age, or even die off." He admitted, before he continued on. "The second, is that your emotions are much more dangerous, unless your enhanced skills are controlled." He informed her with a nod of his head. "As an example, your strength." He taught with a heavy sigh. "While I do not know how much damage you could do before, you are now able to flick the trunk of a tree, and have it fall before you." It was here, when he shook his head a little. "If combined with a short temper, or even a desire for revenge, you could potentially destroy the castle if you threw a punch at the walls, or even other creatures, should you wish to vent these emotions out on them." He awaited for her response back.
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : "Well now......guess I am kinda glad you told me about the second part before I lost my temper....thankfully I didn't loose it between now and when you made me your underling.." She said with a chuckle and the shake of her head. "I could do quite a bit of damage before, not to that extent, but the man whom forcefully changed me into what I was ...he was a three thousand year old vampire who only turned me against my will to hurt his enemy, another vampire I was madly in love with....after capturing the fae that kidnapped me you think a sire would be proud, no instead he abandoned me, my love....felt a man and his kingdom were more important then my frantic emotions upon returning, what Vale's problem was, he fell in love with me when I was an elf, and fell out of love when I became like him, if he could only see me now.." She said with a chuckle and a shake of her head. "Though if he were to return I would refuse him indefinitely.." She said with a nod of her head. "Though my shape shifting abilities and things of that nature doesn't seem hindered or altered in any way." <e>
Lord Blackheart : crossed his legs on the ledge as she told him of what she used to be, as well as what she was before her awakened potential. "He never knew what it was to be a sire, and from what you tell me, it sounded like he only wanted you to be his slave." He would shake his head yet again. "It sounds like he only turned you, to have a willing, obedient creature to follow his every order like a dog." He shuddered a little, his body giving off what looked like a shroud of violet black flames before they settled back into his body. "Those that cannot be proud of your success, do not deserve to call you their love, let alone their fledgling." He heaved a slow, but audible sigh, the man blinking his eyes now. "Your shifting ability has actually been enhanced, since there is another skill it can be used for." He admitted. "Similar to your invisibility, your shifting can also be used to gain access to places others normally cannot." He smirked. "Your body is able to become a mist, and flow through bars, or even under doors and through cracks in windows." He chuckled. "While you're in this state, your body cannot be harmed, since mist and wind is all they will feel of you, if you let them." He taught her with a nod. "Though, unlike your shifting, this skill will be purely on your reflexes, until you gain the mental control of it." He informed, before he continued on. "Not only will this take your physical body out of sight, but also your scent as well." He nodded. "Others will not even know you are there."
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : came out of her bed chambers wearing a dark red gown with gold embroidery along the edges of the neck, sleeve and skirt, belled sleeves with matching cloak and dark red slippers, a small circlet adorned her dark fiery red hair and gold eyes peered through the halls as she wondered to the main hall. She had received a report that eleven slaves were brought back to the castle and that Nosamir was killed, but did not say if he was the slaver or not. Very disturbing news indeed that someone was able to hold slaves against their will in her kingdom, she was not too happy about that nor the fact that someone had made an attempt on her life. These people whomever they were surely needed rehabilitation, she wasn't sure if they were from her kingdom or not, but she was going to find out eventually. Rounding a hall she noticed that Magnus was leaving his room and she walked over to him speaking out. "You know much about slaves.....how do I deal with a group that has been forcefully captured for months or even years out of society?" She asked curiously to Magnus since he talked of having slaves in his kingdom, but he had explained to her if she remembered correctly that they were willing to be slaves and served him happily that there were no punishments on them and that they were treated well, this particular group on the other hand, they did not receive the same happy fate as Magnus's people. But he knew more about slavery then she did so he was getting an inside perspective through another King that had experience in this matter. <e>
چМągŋu§∞Ŧяεγζεąfچ The blind elf had heard the footsteps of someone coming towards him and then he could tell it was Giselle as soon as that voice came to him. He just gave her a gentle smile and would simply reply "Mmm, well it depends, if it is something that has been ingrained into their mind, perhaps offer them servant positions within the lands here, offer them pay or if they got offended about pay, well that makes it easier, as you get free workers" With that he let out a soft melodic laugh "What kind of slaves are they my dear Giselle?" He wondered what slaves they were, after all this would be the best way on how to deal with them. Though it was not something he was expecting to come upon in these lands. <F>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : thought about his question for a moment as she spoke out. "From the report I received, They were trapped on a farm in my kingdom, some for months, possibly years, some may not be from my kingdom, eleven women and are remaining silent.....possibly they were forced into prostitution..... I am not certain what they went through until they speak up.....and I cannot help them unless they do.." She said with a heavy sigh. "And I am not sure how dangerous it is for you to be here as well, someone has made an attempt on my life through means of poison, and so far have yet to find the ones responsible....and now with this, there are things happening under my nose and I don't want anyone close to me getting hurt..." She explained as she folded her hands in front of her trying to think. <e>
چМągŋu§∞Ŧяεγζεąfچ A simple smile was all he gave at this "Do you wish for me to go to the girls that were found and see what I can find out about them?" He asked Giselle curiously as he thought on what to expect, he could not see her and then she told him about the poison attempt and well this slavery ring under Giselles nose, well it was not a good thing for a Queen. So he just let his arms come out to give her a gentle hug and then would let go just as quickly as he hugged her. He stepped back "I am unfortunately not to helpful in these situations myself" <F>
Evawynn : She had went through a lot at the Eladrin infirmary, a lot of poking, prodding, touching, checking her out. She didn't like it one bit, but it was better then being in that filthy place, the farm where the kings men found her and the other women. But they kept asking her question after question telling her to speak up and...well....she couldn't. All she could do was shrug her shoulders and the guards thought she was dumb, a nim whit...which she wasn't....she just couldn't speak. They told her to go to the dining hall to eat that they spoke amongst each other saying they were wasting their time. With this she let out a heavy sigh and a sad face. SHe was still wearing that black dress she wore on the farm, she really didn't have anything there that belonged to her. They weren't going to give her any kind of job if they thought she was stupid. She got some soup from the kettle set on the table and sighed heavily as she sat down looking at her reflection in the soup then closing her eyes a moment frustrated, not knowing what to do any longer. <E>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \The horse had snorted loudly. Obviously tired from his long journey. A pale hand reached down to pat the thick neck. He had slowly dismounted from the beast. Taking the bridle off and reins. " Go on now.. I won't be too long.." He waved the black horse free. Faithful to his master.. the horse would wander towards the grassy null. D had strode forward, tipped his head to the guards and entered the castle. It had been a few weeks since his last appearance. He figured it was time to make some sort of report. Even though there was no report to give. He also wanted to check up on Gisselle. Their last encounter had left them both in an awkward state of ums and glances that wouldn't meet the eye. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was in the dining hall when she saw the girl enter within. She looked slightly disheveled, lost, not so hungry but yet the girl was sent there. Was this one of the slaves she was told about? Gisselle was nearby the girl and attempted to strike up conversation. "Are...you alright?" She asked and the girl Evawynn would give her a look and a nod. But nothing came out. Gisselle sighed and nodded. "Very well ..." The girl looked young, much younger then herself as she heard footsteps approaching from the halls. She looked up to see Young prince Spellmaker and smiled warmly speaking out. "I didn't think I was going to see you for some time." She said kindly to him as she looked over to the girl then back to him speaking again. "I would ...introduce you...but....I have yet to get a word let alone a name from her..." She explained as Gisselle was confused about what to do about the situation.. <e>
Evawynn : sighed heavily, no one even asked the disheveled girl if she could speak or not. But she could hear the Queen's conversation loud as day. She dipped her finger in the soup and wrote her name on the napkin. "Evawynn Lasstanelen....Where is Queen Arafina?" She wrote on the napkin and stood up walking over to Gisselle and carefully placing it down in front of her and taking three steps back. She was scared of males. They had been nothing but mean to her ...and the guards and things didn't help since they didn't realize that yes she had a brain but no she couldn't speak as she waited for the beautiful woman in front of her to speak....she kind of looked like Arafina, but she didn't remember this girl very much. But she was confused at the man they were calling King at the farm before she was taken out. She didn't know where she was going to live at this point. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ He somewhat smirked towards Gisselle. " My father took me out to the front lines. And I've still be looking into reports about Kaien. So far nothing has come up. Or about the drow. But I'm not willing to give up.." He cleared his voice. Still felt the awkward tension between them. His teal blue eyes stared at the female. Just sensing her fear made him take a step back. "It's quite fine Queen Gisselle. I look like some brooding emo guy anyways. That can be terribly upsetting." He placed his hands out in front of him, so that the girl could see that he held nothing in his hands. He also kept back from them so not to crowd her. " I see you are looking much better. All is well? Or have I missed some rather interesting situations?"//d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "All is fine, my father went after a man named Nosamir last night, apparently when he reached the farmhouse with his men there were eleven slave girls......held against there will no one knows for how long, she is one of them....they are trying to get information on their slavers....but this one doesn't speak....she...looks young..." She said to Darius and looked over to the girl after reading the napkin nodding her head. "Pleasure to meet you.....your safe here Evawynn...My name is Gisselle, this here is my friend Darius....he looks intimidating, but I swear to you...he will not harm you, no one will while your within these walls your perfectly safe..." She said sighing heavily about the question of Queen Arafina... "Arafina is deceased.....she no longer rules these lands, she was my mother....My father is taking over rule while I rest.....he was the one that rescued you..." She explained to the girl hoping she would get the point she was safe. <e>
Eva : Evawynn looked around after hearing her question answered, it had been a long time since she tried to telepath anyone, So long after thirty years she almost forgot how since she was shut off in the farm house from using that ability. She looked to Darius after she was told he was safe then looked back to Gisselle and closed her eyes trying to telepath her, but knowing her luck the entire room was going to hear what she said mentally. ~"My....mother was Evalis Lasstanelen.....were from...Eladrin..."Her voice was very soft almost child like even though she was only 45 years old....but the last time she used that ability she was a child. Her voice would probably echo several times over in their heads, and it was going to probably be a while before she perfected that communication technique, but hopefully they got what she said. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ He nodded his head somewhat. " I understand. Take sometimes my dear.. No one here will harm you. " He spoke lightly. His tone had a mixture of both light and dark tones. This could not be helped. He brushed his hand through the thick wave of messy black hair. "Huh so a little bit of excitement I have missed. Well I should stick around more often. After all, tis never a dull moment here.. is it?" He posed the question jokingly. After such, he would clear her throat. The joke probably wouldn't have been taken well. " I mean..I hope your days here are filled with better memories then what has happened to you.." Lately his usual smooth and cold demeanor was off. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : chuckled a moment speaking out. "It would be nice if your father let you stick around more often....I enjoy your company.....that and I believe I have a ladies maid whom fancies you a little bit, but not going to tell you which one..." She said with a grin after hearing the telepath from the girl. She blinked speaking out. "Lasstanelen....I have heard that name before....very familiar...." She said thinking for a few moments.....putting a hand to her head it finally came to her. She kind of went wide eyed and looked to the girl. "Evawynn....are you possibly related to a Lady Remdis Lasstanelen?" She asked curiously to the girl watching for her response. <E>
Eva : had to think, it had been long since she had seen any of her family, but her mother did have a sister and she nodded. ~Yes....that is my aunt....though I haven't seen...her in 35 years......she had a son.....he was very kind to me when I was a child.....~ She said telepthically, her voice childlike, ethereal almost echoing as she looked to the male who was trying to tell a joke....she gave him a quick smile but she looked at how well dressed they looked and looked down at her clothes which were a tattered mess and almost felt embarrassed. ~Is...there a..robe or a dress..I could wear....just until I make money to by me a new dress? I don't...know where I will work....but....I will do something for work...~ She never really worked before ...she had been a slave since her young teen years.....so she was a little nervous about what she was going to do in the future.. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He cleared her voice once more. " Well thank you.. as I enjoy your company. But family must come first... " He licked his left fang in irritation. The male that was his father.. preached such non sense sometimes. But h straightened out his jacket and placed his hands behind his back. " The good queen here wouldn't dream of letting you walk around like this and catch a chill. She is most kind". He somewhat smirked towards Gisselle. "I should.. leave you ladies to it. I still have yet to write to my father. He will want to know what is going on just to be on the safe side". He placed his left arm against his stomach and bowed his upper body forward. " Until later My queen.. Lady Evawynn.." With that he had stepped around them and headed for an empty drawing room. The letter would describe all that Gisselle had told him. The man could certainly move.. His strides were long and confident. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He had been wandering around the Castle as he had a bit of time to himself... this was something new to him and he kinda liked it. He arched a brow though when he would see the male, that had been speaking to Gisselle a lot as of lately and he would walk into the drawing room with a leaning of his body against the door frame with his arms over his bared chest while his crimson mane was braided on either side of his head and then drawn back to be put into a pony tail but the rest to be let loose. "Morning Sir Darius." He would speak in a respectful tone.~
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : His eyes lifted up from the slightly full parchment he was working on. The teal blue in his eyes were intense. Either forcing the person to continue to stare or look away. "Good morning My lord.." His tone equally respectful. The quill in his hand stopped moving. He had straightened up in his seat. "And how are you on this fine afternoon.. my lord?" Small talk was something he had to work on. Something his father constantly reminded to be watched. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he tilted his head as if in thought only to then smile slightly while he walked into the room and went to go sit down in one of the other chairs. He leaned forth to put his elbows and lower arms upon his upper legs. "I am fine this afternoon... and yourself? I hope I am not... disturbing you at this time. You seem very intent upon the letter you are writing." he nodded his head towards the missive that the male was writing on. "How has your father been?" he asked while thinking of why this one and his daughter were speaking in privately at least once or twice.~
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \ His eye brow raised slightly. The quill was placed down upon the table. The letter was close enough for Lucien to read if he so wished to. " My afternoon has been..pleasant. I've made my report to your daughter about the still on going investigation of Kaien and the drow. But sadly, there has been nothing as of late. Just rumors that were nothing more then dead leads. It.. is slightly frustrating". He leaned back in the chair and placed his hands upon the arm rests of the chair. "Giving my father updates about Eladrin and my studies. He likes to be kept informed". D tilted his head back. The messy waves of his hair somewhat brushing along his cheeks. "He has been... frustrated as of late. With being home and moving back towards the lines.. he has grown exhausted. I'm thinking he could use a slight break"//d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He nodded his head in remembrance of this conversation between the two of them and he furrowed his brows at the last bit of news about Darius' father... "I know the feeling of exhaustion and I hope that he can be alleviated from such... sooner then later." he did wonder though... "What do you mean by the lines? are you having troubles with others along your borders or something?" he asked for he would not wish to see anything happen to a possible ally. "We have been pretty secure... thus far here in the lands and I would be remised in my duties if I would not go and either give help or go help myself." his fingers intertwining together.~
Eva : Evawynn received a beautiful green and burgundy gown from Gisselle, She couldn't remember the last time she wore a gown that had so much weight to it. She had the ladies maids help her carry down twenty two dresses to take down to the other girls in the infirmary, two for each girl from Gisselle's personal closet. She was excited because she got to pick the first two. As she went to the infirmary she was passing them out and it seemed strange that Arafina was no longer in rule that this girls father was ruling, and the woman herself ruled for a few years....was she really gone that long? She honestly didn't know how long it been it felt like a hundred years. She helped the ladies maids pass out the dresses while the guards were still looking at her weird, and she didn't even bother telepathing them, let those tin heads think what they want, shows what they know the over grown prats...<e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ His fingers slightly moved across the arm rest of the chair. " No nothing along our borders. People and creatures alike fear of what my father is. Surely you've seen the bodies nailed to our doors..?" He chuckled softly and had slowly breathed out a slight sigh. " My father is in the process of helping others that require his touch. And as future ruler.. he wishes my presences to be constant upon the lines with our soldiers. But he does send his regards. He wishes he had more time to visit. To chat and look upon these lands. He finds this realm peaceful. Quiet. I will chat with him in a short few weeks and attempt to convince him to spend a few days here. The quiet might do him some good.. " //e//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was pleased to see the happiness on the young girl Probably been so long since she wore something nice. She was thinking about having a party in a week or two, maybe invite the girls to a ball, to rejoice their freedom, well to rejoice freedom period. Its been many years since the kingdom has seen a party, what better time then now after all the turmoil the castle and kingdom have suffered? Yes that was a great idea. She wandered the halls to go and find her father when she passed by the one of many sitting rooms after hearing Darius's voice and then seeing her father. "Perfect..." She said happily as she wandered in nodding to Darius and then her father before speaking out. "Pardon my intrusion....I don't mean to interrupt..." She said as she looked over to her father. "I just got done helping some of the enslaved women in the infirmary giving them some of my clothes and things, met one of them....she cannot speak but she is sweet...and because of this....I thought since Eladrin hasn't seen a ball in some time, why not have one a couple weeks from now, to celebrate their freedom, I am sure they would love the music and the feast, Elera's birthday is coming up soon....and well, I think it would brighten things up, don't you?" She said happily to her father as she continued to speak. "Ohh and one of the girls is actually from Eladrin.....she said she was taken long ago.... her family name is Lasstanelen....Evawynn Lasstanelen.....ohh father she is so cute...but awful young.....I don't even think the poor girl's hit fifty yet..." She said looking over to him with a kind of sad face for all the things the girl went through. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : His head tilted back, enough to catch the lovely Gisselle wandering into the drawing room. He had listened to her words and somewhat stifled a rising smirk. He leaned back against the chair slowly. " That sounds like a fantastic idea. The queen has told me about the last few weeks and it sounds like the people as well as the queen deserve one night of celebration. Stress would probably lessen. And if... you approve of the idea of the ball my lord... and If the queen would grant it.. I would like to escort her to the ball.." The words, which usually seemed to sound awkward around gisselle, were actually steady this time. No amount of awkwardness felt. Just smooth words. " I could.. attempt to convince my father to make an appearance. I'm sure he would enjoy a break". As of late his father threw himself more into the wars then his home. But then again.. that was Damon. He was fickle about things and preferred to deal with matters on the field of battle.//d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would nod towards the male and took in a deep breath only to then see his beloved daughter come within and went to her to give her a kiss.... stops half way to her as soon as she spoke the name and arched a brow slowly... "Are you sure that is the name she gave you?" he looked a bit... stunned only to recover by shaking his head a bit... "I think a ball would do these lands some good indeed. And yes... I think that would be... appropriate to do, Darius. I am sure the Queen would not turn down such an invitation." he smiled and then went to her even more to kiss her forehead this time... "where... are the slaves, now my daughter?" he would ask in a softer tone.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "Well....yes I am sure father, clear as day she wrote it on a napkin in the dining hall, Darius saw it I am sure of it...I do not believe I am mistaken....something wrong?" She said with a quirk of her brow as her father seemed to look stunned. It couldn't of been a girl from her fathers past she was way too young. She smiled to Darius and looked to him bowing her head. "I would be honored, thank you for the offer...I gladly accept...." Who better then the prince of an allied kingdom to escort her to the ball after all right. She looked to her father and raised a brow. "The ladies maids....are taking care of them in the infirmary, I pulled some dresses out of my closet to give to them, they were passing them out to the ones that were still awake and leaving some for the ones recovering..." She said and kissed his cheek before speaking again. "Are...you sure your alright dad?" She asked curiously looking worriedly at him. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He too had noticed the slight change in Lucien. His skin had paled ever so slightly. He had tilted his head to the side and watched as the last name was spoke. Strange. He cleared his voice and had slowly stood up. " I shall.. leave you two alone then. It is obvious both of you have much to discuss. While I'm out and about, I shall send the letter to my father.. and grant him to come pay visit to his allied realm". He bowed to both of them and folded the paper. " I.. did see the name of the lady, what the queen says is true.. " He placed the paper into his pocket and headed for the door. Slipping out and heading down the hallway. //d//
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would bite his lower lip slightly as he would send a message to his son to meet him in the Castle infirmary... something important has come up. he then looked on over to Darius and nodded to him "It is not that you have to leave, Darius but go do what is needed to be done. We are not going any where too soon." he smirked and then he would begin to leave from the sitting room as well. "I am in need to see this woman, Gisselle... wish to join me?" he smiled as he put his hand out for his daughter to take.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : "I would love too father, but I have to make sure the other maids are on to their rooms, there are eleven girls with no where to go....I am having a room each prepared for them on the third floor so they are comfortable..." She said and walked over and hugged her father very tightly with her head on his chest. "I already spent a lot of time with her anyways, she helped pick out dresses from my closet...you should of seen her.." She said chuckling and releasing him. "I'll see you at dinner..." She said kissing him on the cheek once again before exiting the sitting room to go check on the spare rooms. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : raised a brow and he was back at the castle after traveling the lands in search of poison sellers the last couple of days. He was finally going to rest and now daddy dearest needed something else. ~Fine I'll be there before you~ He stated as he turned on his heels and went straight for the infirmary where he noticed a lot of new women in there. ~Father....is it my birthday?~ He asked telepathically with a chuckle looking at all those beautiful now dressed up girls. "It must be my birthday.." he said to himself mesmerized...<e>
Eva : was in the infirmary and she was sitting down on her temporary bed when the male walked in. It scared her, that look in his eyes, she didn't recognize him but she recognized that look of a man wanting a woman and it frightened her, reminding her of the farm house. She had no voice so she couldn't yell out. She leaped out of her bed and took off to the back behind the curtain and went out the back way. The dress Gisselle gave her was so heavy she wasn't used to it. "Eva wait!" One of the girls called out to her but couldn't catch her arm to stop her. The infirmary maid looked at Tylan. "Pardon me for speaking freely your highness, but can you not look at these women like they are your lunch, they have been through enough!" Oy did that woman want to slap Tylan so hard. "Go after her......she still needs to be cared for.." The two nurse's nodded and took off after the girl who was splitting from the castle. Evawynn was frantic having a day mare due to the prince's looks..or the way he was looking rather, it was going to be a long day. <E>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he arched a crimson brow and nodded to his daughter only to grimace at his son's words... **They were slaves, my son. So try and not to do anything towards them in any way... please?** when he got there though he would hear the commotion and only to sigh softly. He looked to his son and grimaced a bit... "Yeah your... sowing your oats with these ones are off limits!... got it?" he put a hand to his son's shoulder and looked around the women there. He then asked one of the healers... "which one is Eva? I wish to speak with her.. if I may?" asking politely~
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : "Umm....oops.." He stated smacking himself in the forehead, he had no idea it was enslaved women he was dealing with, he wouldn't have acted in such a way. "Father....look...I had no idea....that they...I was out of town searching for the one that made an attempt on Gisselle's life the night before....I just got back when you messaged me to come here. And yes...off limits no problem.." He stated while grimacing and looked to the nurse maid whom bowed to the king and spoke out. "Your welcome if you can both catch her and speak to her...I am afraid the prince spooked her and she took off, but she doesn't speak....she is mute sire..." Tylan blinked for a moment. "Wait....did you say that girl Eva was mute?" Could it be... "She is alive?" Shit he could catch her faster then those bloody nurses as he moved from his father and dashed like a bat out of hell after the girl catching up to her down the dirt path and grasping her in a bear hug from behind. "Eva...stop......its Tylan.....Remdis's son... Your aunt Remdis....remember..." The last time she saw them she was barely turning ten. She disappeared a few years after that.....she had to have been what...forty...forty five? <e>
Eva : Little squeaks but barely a sound if at all escaped her lips, that was her form of screaming out. But her telepathic screams were probably sending shock waves through the minds when Tylan caught her from behind as she was fighting like hell to get out of his arms but couldn't. She heard him speak of Aunt Remdis and she stopped and she could feel him slowly let go and spin her around. She was still so short compared to him and he was slightly intimidating to look at.. So was the male behind him but she recognized him as the king and she looked to see that she was in Gisselle's dress. Was she in trouble? She moved down to her knees and bowed to the king like a common servant with her hands on the floor. Tylan noticed she had changed so much, she was broken as he stepped back from her not knowing what to do just looking back to see his father walking up. Tylan speaking to Lucien. "She....is my cousin....she cannot speak but....she is acting strange..." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would have followed up after Tylan and with a heavy sighing he would slowly crouch down to where she was only to put two gentle fingers under her chin and make her look up at him... "Aye... as I had thought. My Dearest Eva... stand and be proud for you are a free now... no longer a slave in this very kingdom you had once called home. Take my hands and stand with me as I represent you to your cousin, Tylan... my son." he smiled warmly to her and hoped that she would indeed come forth from the ground ~
Eva : would jump as soon as she felt the fingers upon her chin, force of habit, they usually lifted it to get a better view of where to smack her face.... But it was a split second as she timidly let him raise her chin silently listening as he was calling her dearest Eva. So ...the ...king was her...uncle....and that was really Tylan she was mistaking for a strange scary male? She did as she was told and she was told she was free but...well it was going to take some time to get used to after being under thirty years of force servitude. She stood up a little shaky but did so with the kings help, the pretty dress wasn't helping matters. She got all the way to her feet and looked at Tylan, looking at his eyes..she remembered them well, not many had his eyes...well save for his father of course, now she knew where he got them from. She let go of the king and ran straight to Tylan and just wrapped his arms around him. Him being a whole foot taller then her she came up to just below his chest laying her head against it with tears coming out of her eyes, telepathing but everyone in a good sized radius would be able to hear her because she had little control. ~I thought everyone died.....that's why no one found me!~ Her voice in their heads would sound almost child ghost like with a slight echo to it as she grasped him for dear life. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : was shocked as she ran towards him and after she grabbed hold of him he slowly wrapped his arms around her to make sure he didn't startle her again. He heard her voice and almost cringed on how loud it was, something they were going to have to work on. "I thought you were gone too Eva.....had I known.....I had no idea...I would have rescued you....I swear I would have..." He said with a heavy sigh putting his head on top of hers looking over at his father...he didn't even know where to start with this....he knew what she had been through and didn't even want to repeat it. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he winced slightly but recovered from her mind link... easily enough. "Eva... you have no fear here to worry about. We shall protect you but I will be asking you and the other women who had paid for you and where you had been all this time. I will only do so if you are able to actually handle it though. I will not press you to remember if you can not." he went up to her and his son with a bit of a worried look... "I will have Nimena to help her with her... skills, Tylan. I have a feeling she is going to do and be alright... just needs a bit of time." he knew what time can do for a person as he had to do so as well.~
§aᵯɐɇl : had been wandering about, He would hear a voice speak of thinking people were dead and it being the reason why she wasn't found for so long. *No child...it was because they simply didn't care...why do you think it took them so long to find you now...they didn't care...until they finally had a reason to have you around...I bet they didn't even search for you.* The creature spoke as he headed off towards Mirror Lake, His elven form toned and held a glow to it.<e>
Eva : let go of her brother and looked to the king bowing her head and trying the link again in that ethereal voice. ~There were fifteen of us, most of us young girls when we were taken, I was fifteen when I was abducted in daylight from my mothers house when she was working in Elm Dorei. We lived under the farm house...underground....pulled up to .......service men that paid master.....and...~ Her mind link got interrupted by a male voice moving into her head talking about how they didn't care. How they didn't look. She moved away from both of them screaming from her mind. ~No, NO THAT'S NOT TRUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TRIED IF THEY KNEW I WAS ALIVE I KNOW THEY WOULD!!! NO!!~ She was already shaky to begin with and that made things worse and broke her concentration on her story. Which made her fall to her knees once again because she was distraught and she had no idea of the male whom was speaking to her but he sounded like one of those bad men she had to service. <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : Holding his head in pain!~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Well! She had wandered upon some episode of crazies! Volume one! She peeked around the corner and watched. "Huh! Weeeeeeeeird! And people say I am totally weird". She watched the scene between Lucien and Eva. Her eye brow slightly raised up. Wait... she knew that mother fucker! That was the guy with the forest nympho! "Are you serious?! Hitting on yet another chick!" Her voice slightly carried.. but she was slightly hidden by the corner of the wall.[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He too would feel the pain from such an intrusion but he would go and crouched down next to her only to take her into his arms and hold onto her tightly... "Relax young one... no one is here to hurt you. ignore whom or whatever you maybe hearing." he stammered in pain... pain that he knew his beloved would feel from himself. He was not going to let her go and with the pain from Eva's mind link to ANYONE in close range he had not really heard what was said or even realized that there was another close by ~
§aᵯɐɇl : *Oh but you see...how long have you been gone...I am sure you had/have some family that knew about you...if so...why didn't they come find you...hmm?* He'd speak back to her before reaching the lake, The male would groan and shake his head as that goodie two shoes attempted to stop what he was doing at the moment. *Mmm...come seek me out alone...and I shall speak with you personally...more...if you are curious about anything...I do have little information to give.* The male would smile softly before cutting his telepathic link to her.<e>
Eva : ~Man said it was because you guys didn't care....that no one bothered to search.....it was because you thought like I thought, Tylan thought I was dead like I thought Tylan was dead, I have seen no one in thirty years....The man nearby is evil...." She said still crying her silent tears trying to speak as quietly as she could but having a hard time, she was so tiny compared to Lucien and Tylan. She heard the man speak to her again and then cut himself off and she shook her head scared finally looking up at Lucien still with tears in her eyes. ~The man that said those bad things wants me to meet him alone......I don't want to I am scared....He is evil....~ <e>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : heard everything save for what this man was telling her, he could only go by what Eva was saying telepathically and she never lied before as a child. "I don't think she has gone crazy father, maybe a little strange from her ordeal, but she has never been one to lie before, I think someone is linking to her I could feel the link appear and cut off.." He said as he looked around to see Athena speaking out to his father he raised a brow. "This chick...happens to be his niece madam..." <e>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She tilted her head to the side and glanced at the male that spoke with his 'superior' tone. " OH! I know you! Your the douche bag that awoke me from a slumber..." And with that she had slipped around the corner. Her arms slightly crossed under her breasts. The polar bear peeked his massive head out from the side. His fuzzy hears twitching slightly. "Shhh grown ups..you know.. they are talking. So Shhhhhhh" Boundaries.. gone. Well hell what boundaries!?[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He would look up to his son after Eva passed out and sighed... "Take her back to the infirmary and be sure that no one but the women go near her.. well also the healers but only the women." he would watch as Tylan took her from his arms and due to the dress nearly being as much as his cousin... Tylan would have no worries carrying her back into the Castle to the infirmary. He then tilted his head and slowly glanced on over to Athena. "Ah the one that had given me a ride home, that day. As I tried to tell you before... there was nothing sexual between us... only a spar match.. that is it." he grimaced slightly~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Her head tilted to the side as she looked very.. unconvinced. " Uh huh.." She muttered and stepped beside him. Her eyes locked upon his as she circled around him. " Your familiar. We've met before..and I don't mean in the forest. Some other place. Some other time.. Weird". Athena stepped right into his 'personal bubble'. Close enough it would possibly creep the hell out of Lucien. " You.. used to be Nimena's personal guard... Where is my long time friend!?" [[d]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would sigh and just shake his head slightly but then when she mentioned on whom she was... he blinked and yes... now he remembered her too... "Ah... she is in the castle some place... I am sure. Athena? right? Now I remember you.. it has been a long time since the last I had seen you with the young Lady Nimena... my wife." he smiled slightly as he was actually surprised that Athena had not put two and two together... as of yet. "That is the woman I was trying to tell you about when you found me in that field that day." ~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : "Wait..... WAIT one second..!" She held up her finger and stared at him. Her face pressed closer towards his chin. Body slightly flushed against his. " Oh my god! But she was a child when you looked after her! And.. you married her?! EWWWWW" Her eyes slightly narrowed a bit as she flicked his left nipple! Well.. she couldn't very well grab his ear. He was too damn tall! " You married her.. what? When she had just turned eighteen? Oh my god! And..then that chick?! How many women do you need in your harem?" The girl slid back slowly. " All.. and all.. I think I will need to shadow you for today. Just to make sure.. you are true...." If he denied.. Athena wouldn't listen and would follow him anyways.[[D]]
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He rolled his eyes and shook his head as he would palmface himself... "No... I married her like eight or nine years ago. We even have a child as well and I am very, very loyal to her and NO YOU MAY NOT SHADOW ME!" now he raised his voice as he was slowly becoming annoyed with her... "Go see Nimena. I am sure she will have lots of things to talk to you about." he nodded his head only to start to head back into the castle to go for meetings and the likes but... growls when he noted that Athena was keeping to her word. He would look to a flame and suddenly... he was gone from view... "Go see, Nimena" he would put through to Athena and then he was totally gone.~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ "Alright.. two can play that game Lucien. Don't you remember when Nimena and I use to play.. Who came out the champ each and every time? Yo..." She grinned and slipped around the corner. It seemed for the moment she was gone. Laughter fading down the hallway. When he did make a reappearance.. BAM! Athena would be standing behind him. With a big grin upon her lips. With her arms crossed. " Oh I will shadow you Lucien. Because I can... Because You need me to. I mean I'm sure your office is just boring. With boring colors. And no heads on pikes! Well we are going to change that! Make it all scary and every few feet place a head on a pike! It shows male rawrness.."[[D]]
Crimsonkyu : would slowly get to his feet from being in the hot spring he created for his use in his spare time , putting on his new cloths he would slowly open the door walking out as then shutting the door behind him. Slowly he would make his way towards the chair behind the desk as he would slowly take a set. Pulling a book out of thin air he would slowly opening it pages and started to read. "hmmmmmm ". He would say to himself as he would turn the piece of parchment and keep reading to himself. D>
Lyeli : -Stepping out of my room, my hair was pulled back into a braid, the bell upon my ear jingled and the crystal dangled from my ear. While walking to the little kitchen area to get some food, the crystal ball would float behind me as it flashed in different colors to get my attention. Turning to it then over to the desk seeing crimson reading some papers. Keeping quiet, my ears lowered back to muffle the bell so it didn't make sound not wanting to interrupt his reading. Moving through the kitchen to start making something to eat that would be easy to do, with enough for two people. Finishing the food which was just a simple rice with some beef, with mushrooms, with a sauce to go on top of it. Putting it into two different bowls. I leave the little kitchen walking over to crimson and setting one of the bowls down next to his elbow with a fork in it. I move off to the side to summon another book. Sitting down to start reading it quietly and to eat my food. <>D
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She had just finished up creating a rather interesting look for Lucien's office. Piked heads..pretty much everywhere. It looked like a scene out of saw. Black walls. Red drapes. A throne like chair made out of skulls. Athena laughed all the way home. Entering the lab with a rather dark grin upon her lips. Her hair a bright color of orange. The look upon her face screamed she had just caused a crap ton of trouble. " Well good day all!" She called and slipped over to crimson. He was Obviously so busy with his work. So she slipped upon his lap and whistled loudly. The bear pretty much rolled down the damn stairs. Finally landing with a soft thud. He grumbled loudly and opened his eyes. Giving his usual bear yawn. Loud.. and loud. Fuzzy front paws stretching forward. Only to drag across the floor. Ass slightly up in the air. " Pretty sure..Lucien will make an appearance sometime today..I decided his office was too boring.."[[d]]
Crimsonkyu : The book would vanish as he would wrap his arms around Athena as give her a light kiss on the lips, " So with that look on your face, how much of a shit storm did you bring me my wife. Also this is my ... Little Fox. " He would look at the food the Fox put down for him ."Thank you little fox , This looks good. Also this is my wife Athena, Athena this is my little fox. " He would reach over and place his hand on the top of her hand and started to give her a lite pat or two . " So my two pets, what have have you too been up today?" He would say lightly his other hand would slowly move up Athena body , making sure to hit all the fun spots and then gently placing his hand around her neck and gently rubs it and her cheeks , lips as well. D>
Lyeli : -sitting there on the floor near him while i eat my food, and read the book. My ears perked up at the sound of Athena coming into the area. Keeping quiet still heavily engrossed in the food and book. My ears would follow her movement, the bell would jingle just a bit. Still reading the book slowly, and jumping when he touched my head with his hand petting it. Holding still, not moving under his hand while he pets me. My ears would flick against his hand while i sat there. Not looking up to meet either of their eyes while i sat there holding my bowl with the book across my lap. Knowing he was talking to the both of us. I remain quiet sitting there and listening, taking in a slow deep breath and letting it go slowly. My voice was a soft whisper.- your welcome. -unsure how to answer his question since i had slept the majority of the day away.- <D
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [["Pet? pf.. Wife yes.. but no not pet.." She tilted her head to the side and glanced towards the fox. Her smile was as usual, creepy. " Well hello there fox! You and I.. we should totally go shopping.." She winked and turned her head to the side. Her chin grazing against her shoulder as she smirked at Crimson. " Oh so much annoyance.. but now I am home. " She sighed softly. Ehden had wandered over towards Athena and Crimson. He plunked his body down, all four paws sprawled out Head tilted to the side as his black eyes stared up towards the three of them. "Lucien was Nimena's guard.. back when we were both children. So weird to hear he is nimena's husband. I mean just... soooo weird. All and all I figured today was a good day.." [[D]]
Eva : was placed in a bed by Tylan earlier this afternoon and she wasn't feeling well when she awoke, her head was splitting. She sat up and looked around, there was a woman that was sitting in the room with her while she slept and came over to check her forehead and what not when she awoke. She was a little jumpy but allowed the woman to touch her, Tylan having but his best men outside her door to make sure that no males came into Eva's room Tylan had went after Gisselle to explain to her the situation. Meanwhile Eva was very hungry rubbing her stomach. The infirmary maid had already had a plate up with fruit and cheese and some bread with mead to help keep her settled. The woman noticed her rubbing her stomach and smiled setting the plate on her lap. The woman didn't have to speak to know what she needed, and Eva started eating quietly. Eva didn't know she was being inducted into the royal family now, so a lot of things were going to change in her life even though she was used to being a lower class citizen before the whole ordeal as a slave. She wanted to know how the other girls were doing but she was too afraid of seeing that man that was entering her head. Not a good predicament to be in at the moment.<e>
Crimsonkyu : " Really he was the body guard for Nimena , go figure ... for guard to king just like that. not a bad way to get in if you ask me. Also is seems like some one tried to kill Gisselle and that does not sit well with me " His fingers would lowly move down the little fox's ear and he would give the bell a light flick. " Little fox i have a job for you, I need you to delvers some parchments to the king and to Gisselle , you will do this for me wont you ." He would say giving the bell on her ear another flick. " I am sorry love i know your not my pet it was just a word. I am happy that you are home now, i build a new floor and its a hot springs , so you and your bear and enjoy a soak when ever you like my wife. " He would give a light laugh as the thought of little fox and athena hanging out was funny . " Sounds like a good time to be had, please take the little fox shopping love i am sure she would enjoy that very much ." He would flick her bell ones more. D>
Ʈylαɳ¤Ѵᾶlԑɳԑяøȿ : wanted more then anything to find the man responsible for invading his cousin's mind. He was going to find out who he was and find out how to get rid of him. She had been through enough after her ordeal being gone for thirty years, and he blamed himself, he should of looked for her, but his mother was dying at the time and then shortly after her mother died.....and he didn't think Evawynn knew she was dead. This was just getting more and more frustrating. Not to mention the rumored assassination attempt on Gisselle and then the Nosamir situation on top of not finding the attempted assassin. It was a wonder his father was still keeping his sanity, he handled eva in this state better then he could, but in the Underdark he wasn't a slave as long as his father, Lucien was a slave for years.....but At Eva's young age she probably had him beat by a decade give or take a few. Who was next? Elera? Nimena? Thraele? No he had to get back into the game and dive in head first and get to the bottom of all this bullshit before it swallows his family whole. He headed to the dining hall to get something to eat for right now and would make sure the other women got to their rooms safely before someone else had a problem with the strange male attempting to put idea's into the young woman's minds. <E>
Lyeli : -sitting there upon the floor i move my ear away from his fingers, Moving a bit away from his fingers to have him leave the bell alone. Only that i was still in arms reach of him still playing with the bell. The one ear would flatten against my head to keep the bell from moving around. Trying to go back to eating my dinner/breakfast, Taking in a deep breath and lifting my head up when i heart her saying we should go shopping. Biting my lower lip since i didn't like crowds or open spaces. Breathing in deeply and letting it go keeping it calm and not panicked. whispering softly.- no thank you Miss. -finishing what was in my bowl as i sat there, catching to what he asked about taking some letters up to the castle. My other ear would lower back against my head, unsure about that walk to the castle with the open spaces. Panic starts to really set in now while i sat there upon the floor. Keeping my voice soft still.- I am sure sir that you have a different way of sending correspondence to those you wish to speak with. Without sending me to the castle .- not really refusing to take the letters per his request but giving him a different way of doing it so i didn't have to face the wide out doors.- <D
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : made sure that all the rooms were taken care of for the women and she helped insure that they were comfortable and she was going to figure out with Nimena how to give them jobs within the castle and towns tomorrow. Save for Eva, she was going to move eventually to one of the top floor rooms, but it was going to be a while till they could get one settled for her, she wasn't going to move her away from the castle, not at this time. Not with the events that took place today that she heard about from Tylan. Wearing a burgundy and gold trimmed gown with a gold small circlet she moved to the main hall with her cup of tea, there was so much to plan for, having seamstresses make dresses for the girls for the ball and a few extra outfits for them, sending out invitations, having the large ball room prepared for the next couple of weeks, Darius was going to escort her, She was worried about maybe finding escorts for the girls, maybe letting them attend on their own, she was sure they weren't into male company after what they had been through, she was throwing the party for them after all. To find out there was more family as well she was excited about, her family was growing and growing after her own mother had left, it was amazing how much they grew. She was going to invite the whole kingdom and the neighboring ally kingdoms as well. Palast, Olath, Insidious, Waterway, all kinds. Though she wasn't sure who would go, bit it wouldn't matter, it would be fun anyways. <e>
Shirley : had spent months wandering about the lands after Nikola had brought her back from hell, Her long black silken dress swayed and flown behind her as she walked gracefully but yet playfully at the same time. Some tree's would wither and die but it wasn't her fault consciously, It was the environment she had been in for most of her time there. "I see pretty pretty pretty flower's and plant's!!! but it makes me sad to know...know...know...that I can't ever touch them or be around them them them,,," It would seem like that rule of three had gotten worse since she had left Nighthowl and Nikola as well as her sister, The creature would mosey on and soon found herself stumbling upon the castle grounds once more. Making her way to the castle she would smile and wave at the guards, Soon she would speak up to them in a kind manner. "Hello!!! I am new to these lands!!! I wish to make friends...or or or at least try!" The creature would nod as some of her words came out in a set of three, She would stand there and rock on her feet back and forth swinging her hip's forwards and backwards. It was very clear there was something completely wrong with her mental state.<e>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Randomly passes out in crimson's arms. " just snuggle me in bed.. or put me near the hot springs.." she muttered [[d]]
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She was informed that there was someone at the castle gates, a female. She blinked and told the guards to bring her in. If allowed the woman would be lead into the main hall, Gisselle had her back to her setting her tea cup down before turning around to look at the woman who was here to make friends. It wasn't someone new to these lands. It was Shirley, the demon that once long ago tried to kill her because she had the silly notion that Gisselle and Drakkonis were an item, when it was nothing more then he was assisting her with a demon problem, and up comes Shirley trying to strike her down, if it wasn't for Drakkonis and Ravyn she wouldn't be standing. She looked to Shirley and spoke out. "You are far from new here.....why have you returned. "She knew she was safe but she needed to make sure what was happening. "Drakkonis...." She called out softly watching her movements as she had the guards at the door keep watch with a hand signal. <e>
Drakkonis : would come to the call of Gisselle with a quick foot, Shortly after appearing the creature whom she had summoned looked directly at Shirley. "I ate you...PIECE BY FUCKING PIECE!!!! HOW DID YOU COME BACK!!! HOW DID YOU GET YOUR SOUL!!!! IT WAS CAST TO THE HELLS BELOW AFTER I PASSED IT THROUGH MY VERY BEING!!!!" The creature would step forward and stared the woman directly in the eye's, He would growl and soon poofed just as he struck her with a clawed hand.
Shirley : Shirley's left cheek started to bleed and was forced to the ground from the attack, The bleeding seemed to not want to stop at all. It kept bleeding and soon she started to actually cry out in pain, Though her head started to spin and cause even more problems. Though she still didn't know why she was being targeted the way she was.
William : Then suddenly another presence made himself known. Elysium wing's would spread as William came into view facing the queen herself, Narrowed eye's and arm's spread. Though if the queen seemed to try to speak she would feel a warm sensation run past her lip's and cause her jaw muscles to become numb. "Listen... Do not speak... This Shirley isn't that of whom I have slain many year's ago... nor... is it the one Drakkonis had slain as well... her fate... it has changed... and I do not know how... or why it did... This is not... the Shirley you know... physically... it is... but... she is not in there... she is different." The creature would look into Gisselle's eye's. "Nod if you understand... if you do... then I will remove the silence I have put on you." He stated.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She felt her jaw muscles and her throat become numb as a hand went to her slender throat trying to speak out but unable to get any words out, her ladies maids came to her checking to see if she was alright fearing she was choking but she wasn't. She just couldn't speak and confused, then William started speaking after Drakkonis made that horrifying scene, which she wasn't expecting. She thought maybe he could give some insight on what was going on, William wasn't there that day how could she know he knew anything about it? After hearing his explanation she nodded and felt her voice coming back to her. She looked over to Shirley speaking out. "The last time I saw your figure you tried to kill me out of jealousy, that was the last time I saw you and I saw you struck down back to hell myself that night. This is the first time I have seen you since you made the attempt on my life, do you not remember any of it?" She asked curiously, thought Gisselle still wasn't sure, it could be a ruse to get close which she feared, she already had an attempt on her life recently. So she was cautious. She did feel a little bit different, the last Shirley would have laughed maniacally after getting struck and would have stricken back. So Gisselle was extremely confused at this point waiting for a response from Shirley to her question. <e>
Shirley : William would step aside and aid Shirley in healing, The female would listen to Gisselle as she spoke and soon shook her head. "No... I don't remember anything but the punishment I had received in hell... The only thing I remember is that I was in hell... after dying when I was just a little girl...girl girl...." The creature would sniffle and wipe her nose before standing up on her own, Shirley would smile softly and bow to the queen and spoke once more. "I don't blame you... whatever I had done in the past... I am sure sure sure... I deserve worse than what I I I got..." She would sigh and raise to a full stand once more. "Nikola, My sister's soon to be husband came and risked a lot for me... at the request of my sister Shirley... it was apparent she missed me." The creature would say before looking to the ground sadly, She had lost track of where her sister had gone.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : would listen to the girl and to William and she sighed heavily, what was it with these powerful beings and loosing their memories constantly, Drakkonis, Ravyn and now this one. Who was next? She looked to her and back to William speaking out. "Take her back to the infirmary to be looked after, give her some food, I will alert my father of the situation and give her a room here tonight. I need to see to Drakkonis and explain to him the situation in the dungeon. Take care of her William please" She said nodding to the woman and sighing heavily. "You are pardoned for now...your safe.." She said running her hands through her hair in frustration and left the main hall to head for the portal to the dungeons and try to explain this mess to Drakkonis before things got out of hand. <e>
Lord Blackheart : had been walking down the hall towards the throne room, his right hand behind his back, while his left was holding a rather old looking tome. Beside him on the wall, the man's shadow was casually playing with a small arrow, the figure gently twisting, and flipping it between his fingers as the man made his way into the area, though his eyes were still pointed down at the tome in his hand. "Hmm." It was here, when he raised his eyes from his reading, his thumb marking where he left off. "Hello Shirley."
William : would look over at Gisselle as she spoke and then soon towards Damien, The creature would step between Damien and Shirley. "We've been over this already Damien... back in Nighthowl..." He'd narrow his gaze upon the man before reaching behind him and taking Shirley's hands in his own, Normally he wouldn't touch another but because of what Nimena had done for him he was able to as long as he was within the castle. "Yes my Queen." The creature would then disappear with Shirley taking her to the infirmary, Once there he'd have the healer's look after her while he remained by her side.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : had missed Damien, her primary focus was Drakkonis and his anger before it got him in deeper trouble then he was already in, she shouldn't of called him but he was the first person she thought of when she laid eyes on Shirley because he was the reason the Shirley in the past was trying to kill her to begin with. Well that ruled her out as a suspect in the poisoning, or did it? Was it a ruse? She wasn't sure. A lot of things were going through her mind as she headed down in the dungeons being lead to Drakkonis's cell and when she reached it she spoke out to him softly. "There has been a mishap. Apparently William made it abundantly clear that.... Shirley is indeed not the Shirley we knew. She has lost her memories and apparently Delilah begged for her life to be returned to her using Nikola to do so. " Question was did Delilah get with Nikola for this very result or was she really in love? That was a situation she was not even going to get close to getting involved with that. <e>
·Izzy· : *"Stupid, stupid little human, with a pathetic lust for power that isn't yours to take..." Izzy spoke unnervingly calmly, standing oddly still and looking at the roughly human shape in front of her, beaten and pinned to a tree by a jutting, broken branch through the chest and embedded into the trunk behind it. "...Except you're not human any more, are you? You're...What did he tell you? 'Ascended'? 'Divine'? Simply 'Better'?" She smirked, but it wasn't a happy smirk. It was one that tried - unsuccessfully - to hide a level of disgust that was practically palpable. Shrugging and starting to walk away, she paused for a moment, turning back and moving closer to the humanoid covered in some kind of inky black tar-like substance. Her own wounds were inconsequential to her right now. "...You can hear me, can't you? Controlling your little pet abomination here. You sent him to gather intelligence? How's this for intelligence? I'm alive, and I want my wings back..." She paused, head cocking to one shoulder for a moment. The field around her had gone from a heat-haze like thing to full-on embers now, crawling around her like they were sentient. "I want my home back...I want my FAMILY back. But seeing as that's not possible? I'll just settle for hurting yours, and you with it." Every strike would cause a burst of Holy energy from the thing, like some kind of pulsing beacon. The last strike entirely engulfed the once-man, and herself, in flame that lasted just a moment, leaving nothing but Izzy collapsing to knees in front of a pile of ashes and a slightly scorched, but overall mostly unharmed, tree. Well, at least Gisselle didn't see her lose control. Not after all her own little talks about keeping all situations under wraps and constructively feeding off of emotion.*
Lord Blackheart : watched as the both of them had left, followed shortly by the young royal, though she went in a different direction, the man continuing to walk towards the balcony of the throne room. "Sivella, I believe it is time for one of my lessons." He reached out, his thoughts without spoken word, though he continued on as well. "If you would like to learn, than meet me in the throne room of Eladrin castle, and I will teach you a few things." He then severed the link, but only so she could still respond back.
Drakkonis : would give a growl behind the door Gisselle stood before, The creature would bang on the door once. "I don't care... the very sight of her infuriates me!!" The creature spoke back before pacing his room, He didn't go back and forth but in circles instead. Drakkonis would slam a fist into the wall making a thud, The creature would hiss and spoke up once more. "As long as she remains within these lands... or at least looks like that... I will remain in this cell!" He stopped and banged on the door once more before going back to pacing a circle in his room.<e>
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : heard her new sire calling her about needing to learn a new lesson. Wearing a simple black gown she pulled her hair back into a ponytail low at the neck and entered into the main hall where she saw Damien inside. She folded her hands in front of her and brown colored eyes looked over at him, completely elven in appearance accept for her fangs she spoke out to Damien. "I am here, you summoned me for a lesson?" She asked curiously, if it was one thing Sivella was it was prompt. She had finished her chores and waited for Damien to respond to summoning her.<e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : would feel yet again another disturbance in the force as she felt heavy amounts of holy energy getting blasted not far away. She shimmered to the location she felt the blast and it was none other then Izzy taking it out on a humanoid like individual. Izzy was loosing control, speaking about wanting her family back. This was not the Izzy she knew, no this was the vulnerable Izzy, the hurt and angry Izzy. Wings outstretched as she spoke out to Izzy in a commanding like tone. "Enough!" She called out speaking to her a little softer now that she got her attention. "What is the meaning of this? What is going on here?" She had felt other disturbances as well but she felt Drakkonis, William, Damien and others nearby so she let them handle the castle end, she was handling the outside as she waited for a response on what was going on outside. <e>
Lord Blackheart : smiled as the young lady made her way out to the balcony, the man now tossing his tome into the air with a casual nod of his head. "Yes, I wanted to teach you more about what you are, and how to deal with such things." He informed, the man now seating his self on the edge of the balcony, the tome having faded out of reality like a spirit would when banished. "How are you enjoying this spark of life, by the way?" He inquired, his head tilting to the left a little bit, as he gestured her to seat as well.
·Izzy· : *The sound of something shifting into being behind her and the shout for enough had the already on-alert Izzy bound to her feet and spin around, instinctively dropping into a combative stance for a few moments before she saw just who it was. "This?" A finger less gloved hand motioned behind her to the ash and tar-like puddle that was formerly the being she was letting fury out on. "This is simply me doing what I've always promised I would, Nimena. Keeping this place safe from the parasites that crawl in the shadows." As much as she respected Nimena, Izzy didn't back down at all, or question her own motives or justification. She was headstrong like that. "That...Thing...May have had the body of a human. It might even have seemed as fragile as one. But it wasn't." She seemed to almost treat this like a game. Like any other kind of hunt. She always did take some incredible pleasure in her work. The darker and more base, the better. She turned back to look at the remains. "...You're doing the eyes, aren't you? Don't. Whatever was good in him died a long time ago. It was consumed, hollowed out and used as a vessel for infection and murder. That's how the Veil work and all they are. They're not people, they're not able to be saved. They're...A nightmare. Nothing more." She'd mentioned the Veil in passing before, usually with some kind of worry, but since returning from her years away? That worry and fear was replaced with pure, practically-elemental hatred, it seemed. Once more, she turned to face the elf. It was odd. This was partly the vulnerable Izzy, and this was obviously as personal as it got. But at the same time, she seemed oddly...Alive with it. More authoritative and sure of herself than was usual. Both Draconic and Angelic sides showing together as one entity.*
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : nodded and took a seat next to him nodding about teaching her more about herself in essence. She let out a soft sigh speaking out. "To be perfectly honest, kinda glad I don't look like a scary monster all the time anymore and I fit into the crowd of the court, not to mention I don't feel the urge to bite the Queen every now and then is a plus..." She said with a chuckle crossing one leg over the other. "And yet.....cannot seem to do my job properly. Queen almost getting poisoned, this slave thing, ohh and apparently a family member of the royals turned up from that unfortunate slave pile, apparently a lady cousin to Tylan, shes apparently mute, but the king has ordered no males around her till further notice, apparently one entered her mind trying to get her to meet him...strange..." She said with a shrug finding out her information by listening in when Tylan was speaking to Gisselle. It was bad to be nosy but when it came to Gisselle, essentially that was a lady in waiting's job now wasn't it? <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : blinked speaking out. "No...not giving you the eyes, what gave you that idea?" She said curiously as she looked to the black goopy puddle near them and sighed lightly. "Well obviously if that is the end result your right he couldn't have been any good, was just trying to figure out what the hell those energy spikes were...now that I know...well...I am good, see the night is turning out interesting for you.." She said with a chuckle as she looked back to the castle and then back to Izzy. "It has come to my attention that there was evil right under our very noses. Have a group of girls at our castle...slaves....one of them happened to be my step sons cousin, went missing thirty years ago....they were found at a farmhouse...some underground, the actual slavers whereabouts unknown at this time but apparently they had been running it in Eladrin since Arafina's reign. I know because some of them were asking what happened to Queen Arafina, that being the last Queen they remember..." Makes sense right? She shrugged her shoulders. "My husband has been trying to work with this cousin Evawynn....Tylan calling her Eva.....said a male was trying to enter her mind earlier speaking to her in telepathy. She kept telepathing my husband that the man was evil.....she has a problem focusing her messages to one person, they kind of spread out to everyone in the vicinity.....apparently she caught the attention of the wrong crowd. " She explained to Izzy looking over to her motioning her to walk back with her to the castle. <e>
·Izzy· : *"I've come to expect people to consider my methods brutal. They'd be right to, I suppose. But I'm done losing people." This was a slightly unnerving state for Izzy to be in. When she was emotional, she was at her most dangerous before. She had spent a significant amount of her time away, learning to focus. That meant that now? Well, Nimena was able to sense the power about her. All that focused into one thing for one moment. The training had apparently made her deadlier now than ever. Her head turned to momentarily shoot a silver glance at the woman she called friend. "'Interesting'?! Don't be condescending." It would have been considered snappy, were it not so...Empty and cold. She sighed, shaking her head and internally screaming at herself before looking back. "...I'm sorry. I don't mean...This is..." She growled quietly, balling her hands into fists for a moment and walking away a couple of steps before moving back to her original position. "...The field around Triskelion is failing. Agents of the Veil can get out, clearly, even if their masters can't. That's bad enough. I'm just..." She took a deep breath, looking to Nimena and speaking quietly. "Imagine knowing that the things that destroyed everything you knew and loved were resurfacing. How would you feel?" This was probably the most uneasy and emotional Nimena had ever seen her, and yet it all seemed to be channeled into a slightly manic fury, bubbling up to...Whatever this was. She was very much her, but more on edge. More ready to destroy. She listened to the explanation of the things happening at the castle, hoping it'd distract her. The mention of slavers caused her to growl again under her breath. Yeah, that was a surefire way to send Izzy on a warpath. "...Pray I don't find them." She started walking with her significantly calmer friend, the movements of the huntress very fluid and almost predatory in nature. That part of her that she'd kept under wraps for a long time was waking up. Scariest for her? It felt...Liberating.*
Lord Blackheart : listened as she spoke to him, though the thoughts of all the things going wrong with the castle, it did cause him to frown while she spoke of each incident. "First my niece has something happen, now there's slavers trying to take more family?" He inquired, though his voice patterns held more curiosity than anything else. He had learned from an early age how dangerous his own emotions could be, so he often kept them to his self. It was here, when the man would shift his violet blue gaze over towards her with a nod of his head. "That being said though, I did ask you up here so you could learn more about yourself, so let's get started on that, shall we?" He awaited for the day-walker to respond to him, before he would start his lessons, the man's shadow below them twitching its legs every so often, despite the man being still as he sat on the ledge. "With all this mess happening to the castle, and the royal family as targets, they could probably use all the assistance they can get, after we're done."
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : listened to him for a moment and shook her head speaking out. "No not trying to take more family, apparently they had this family member for over thirty years right under their very noses.." She said in soft tones as she stood up after he said lets get started on the lessons. She folded her hands in front of her and spoke out. "Very well then, what is it you want me to do sire?" She asked curiously as those brown eyes stared up at him not changing colors for now, she appeared as a simple elf with fangs for the moment. This was her favorite appearance it seemed. "I am ready when you are .." She said waiting to see what she was to do now, could get interesting. <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : Well that was shocking, Izzy snapping at Nim..... nope never happened. She blinked speaking out. "Condescending? Me? Erm...... nope..... just said it was interesting to have such... beings in this neck of the woods and they deserve what they get if they cause that much destruction nothing more.....I think your.....hotter then a soup pot at the moment, maybe you should take a breath and listened to what I am saying dear..." She knew lots about Izzy, and her past, Izzy has let it slip to her more then once and she has said nothing of it. She shook her head as she tried to apologize. "No need for apologies. I have almost lost this home and my family more then once.. To very dangerous creatures and kinds. From evil rulers to evil demons. It is not easy protecting those you love or lands you love...if my enemies somehow resurface.....send them back where they belong, that's what you are doing now and I have not said one thing bad against it......but.....occasionally, ask for help instead of trying to do everything on your own....if you need to be relieved of duties here to take care of them I understand, all you need to do is ask..." Nim was trying to help Izzy calm.....but Izzy was not in her right frame of mind right now. "Will a visit to someone less fortunate help calm your nerves, I was on my way to meet the girl to try and help with her telepathy troubles.......why don't you come with me?" She asked curiously to Izzy hoping that someone quiet literally would calm her. <e>
·Izzy· : *shook her head slowly. "...I know. I'm sorry. I just...Every time I've closed my eyes since the Fall, I've seen the same things play out again and again. A stupid child too weak and small to do anything about it. And now it's happening again. Some of the border towns the refugees moved to have started being attacked again. Cultists, bandits...Things. The Veil feed on fear and doubt. And these ones around here? You're safe for now." She smirked to hide a wince as she rolled shoulders back, momentarily thinking she could feel her wings again. This subject always gave her this discomfort. "They can't pass the wards yet. Doubtful they ever will. But they're seekers. Looking for me. They want to finish the job. The sliver of positivity? The ones pulling the strings feel what their puppets do." Well, that explained the extreme outburst. Small as it was, it was a rebellion of sorts. Using the link to her own advantage. Nobody else around, she smirked and shook her head slightly, stopping for a moment to lean against a tree, silver hair moving back to rest against it. "...You know...It's funny. I can just imagine my father. 'Isabella, with rage like this you'll make the most volatile Queen imaginable. You have to learn to control it.'..." She chuckled slightly, before sighing it off. That was one thing she'd NEVER mentioned. But if anybody deserved to know just who she was, it was Nimena. A deep breath and a few moments to compose herself, and she pushed off of the tree with a boot, nodding slightly. "If your enemies resurface, there won't be enough of them to send back. That is my purpose, isn't it? 'The mercy of angels'..." One of several names she'd been given in the past, by some nightmarish thing she'd destroyed moments after trying to make her doubt her purpose. It only reaffirmed it. She had her doubts about being around a telepath in her current mindset, but nodded slowly, trying to at least appear calm, not convincing herself but trying to put on the act outwardly. "...Lead the way."*
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but smile, the fledgling being eager to learn just what it was he had done, and just what other gifts she had. "I would like to teach you more about what you are first." He began with a nod. "You have probably noticed that your thirst, and your hunger rarely surface, if ever at all, as well as the fact you can be around blood, without it affecting your mind." He informed her with a smirk. "This is because unlike most, a true vampire only feeds when they need energy, blood no longer a source of their nutrition." He taught, the man continuing on though. "Not only that, but a true vampire has a certain ethereal beauty surrounding them." He reached out, to gently trace his hand along her face, before settling it back into his pocket. "They will never age in appearance and mind, as most creatures will." He informed. "Your body is now sustained by the universe, so you are even able to go without rest." He nodded. "These can still be ignored though, should you wish to keep up appearances in these lands, your hunger being that for food, and meals." He began. "Your thirst slaked by fine wines, fresh teas, and juices, or even milk and water." It was here, when he would tilt his head a little. "Should you desire a rest, you do not have to worry about being in a cramped box, that likely smells of manure." He laughed. "A true vampire is able to ignore such things, as you can take your rest in a bed, or cot of your choice. Even garlic and silver hold no power over you, as they likely used to."
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : was taking all this inn and nodded. "Made sense I was able to complete all my chores without wanting to bite into one of those pretty necks or need a box to sleep in the morning time when everyone was waking for their breakfast....though I did taste some wine not too long ago...it did taste much better then when I was under Yaksha...." She said nodding. The not being allergic to Sun, Garlic and silver was indeed a perk. Made her wonder what else she can do since all she really has to do is breathe in air. She chuckled speaking out. "So .....can sleep on a bed, eat with others as they eat without getting sick and not wanting to suck the life out of em......can play in the daylight....hmmm those all sound like pros to me....so tell me...what are the cons, cause I haven't really heard any yet..?" She asked curiously blinking at him especially when he touched her face...coming from him it was....kinda weird since he was her sire now....kinda like a father figure, but she wouldn't discuss that since even as an elf she really didn't know him... <e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : "Trust me with you around, I have no worries especially what i felt from you, I have vanquished a few darklings before in my past.....I know what it is to need to be rid of them especially when those close to you are threatened, and your father is mistaken......your not volatile, your just Izzy..." She said with a chuckle as she motioned for her to follow. It was there they made their trek back to the castle where she could hear her brother and Sivella speaking, must be training season she thought to herself, Sivella was training with Damien, She was soon to train this young girl she was about to check on, Gisselle was suppose to be training the elder children at some point, Lucien was training some guards, Tylan was training rangers, and Thraele....well...was idle....something she would have to work on after her pregnancy is through. In the meantime. They headed up to the third floor room they had put Eva in till further notice. Passing by the pair of guards at the girls door left by Tylan and she opened the door knocking at the same time. Looking for this Eva whom people were speaking about. <e>
¤Eva¤ : was in her bed chambers, She had finally finished her food and set the plate on the nightstand still wearing one of Gisselle's dresses, one of her common ones but still it felt heavy and overbearing. Eva made a sign language symbol to the handmaiden saying thank you when she heard the knock and saw the door opening climbing out of bed quickly. There she saw the two what looked to be very powerful women walking into the room. She had no idea whom they were or what was happening now. She had met so many strangers at this point she didn't know who was good, bad, indifferent or otherwise, but she did what she normally did when she was scared these past thirty years or so, dropped to her knees in the slave bow position with her hands on the ground which made Nimena raise an eyebrow and look at Izzy. The handmaiden in the room just sighed and tried to pick the girl back up off the ground. This seemed to be the thing she did when she wanted to keep out of trouble or from being beaten. Little did she know those things did not happen that way in this castle. Though it was her first time here so she didn't know any better. <e>
Lord Blackheart : lowered his face, the man's violet blue eyes closing when she mentioned the down sides to this lifestyle. It was one he knew well, since he was almost the same in many aspects. "There are but two down sides to living this way, the first being that while you do not age, all you can do, is watch those around you age, or even die off." He admitted, before he continued on. "The second, is that your emotions are much more dangerous, unless your enhanced skills are controlled." He informed her with a nod of his head. "As an example, your strength." He taught with a heavy sigh. "While I do not know how much damage you could do before, you are now able to flick the trunk of a tree, and have it fall before you." It was here, when he shook his head a little. "If combined with a short temper, or even a desire for revenge, you could potentially destroy the castle if you threw a punch at the walls, or even other creatures, should you wish to vent these emotions out on them." He awaited for her response back.
¤Şῖⱴέȴȴᾶ¤ : "Well now......guess I am kinda glad you told me about the second part before I lost my temper....thankfully I didn't loose it between now and when you made me your underling.." She said with a chuckle and the shake of her head. "I could do quite a bit of damage before, not to that extent, but the man whom forcefully changed me into what I was ...he was a three thousand year old vampire who only turned me against my will to hurt his enemy, another vampire I was madly in love with....after capturing the fae that kidnapped me you think a sire would be proud, no instead he abandoned me, my love....felt a man and his kingdom were more important then my frantic emotions upon returning, what Vale's problem was, he fell in love with me when I was an elf, and fell out of love when I became like him, if he could only see me now.." She said with a chuckle and a shake of her head. "Though if he were to return I would refuse him indefinitely.." She said with a nod of her head. "Though my shape shifting abilities and things of that nature doesn't seem hindered or altered in any way." <e>
Lord Blackheart : crossed his legs on the ledge as she told him of what she used to be, as well as what she was before her awakened potential. "He never knew what it was to be a sire, and from what you tell me, it sounded like he only wanted you to be his slave." He would shake his head yet again. "It sounds like he only turned you, to have a willing, obedient creature to follow his every order like a dog." He shuddered a little, his body giving off what looked like a shroud of violet black flames before they settled back into his body. "Those that cannot be proud of your success, do not deserve to call you their love, let alone their fledgling." He heaved a slow, but audible sigh, the man blinking his eyes now. "Your shifting ability has actually been enhanced, since there is another skill it can be used for." He admitted. "Similar to your invisibility, your shifting can also be used to gain access to places others normally cannot." He smirked. "Your body is able to become a mist, and flow through bars, or even under doors and through cracks in windows." He chuckled. "While you're in this state, your body cannot be harmed, since mist and wind is all they will feel of you, if you let them." He taught her with a nod. "Though, unlike your shifting, this skill will be purely on your reflexes, until you gain the mental control of it." He informed, before he continued on. "Not only will this take your physical body out of sight, but also your scent as well." He nodded. "Others will not even know you are there."
