10 years later.
Maxwell Foresste has travelled end to end of the world searching for old friends. He has attempted to find Denvor and Dona Gren-Cove for 10 years. He has grown up to be a great leader,as he showed in many previous attempts. He has only one thing to hold and one thing to think about: Dona.
He is drowning in his thoughts while he rests in Mother Dawn's garden. Max was training with his siblings,somewhat of an activity to keep time going. 10 years has past and gone,but hope is still alive.
Maxwell Foresste's Pov:
I took in a breath. That smell reminded me of everything,although I chose not to think about it but it was there,that smell. Tulips,roses and dandelions. I loved and hated those plants. Was our break over?
She swept past me and let out a flame,burning my hands that covered my face. Our break was over. She became stronger, even more fierce,some say less of a woman. I stood up and let out my beast and she let out hers. We battled,strike after strike,until we could strike no more.
"Well, not as young and vicious as we used to be,Haleina."
"You've just become slower,little wolf,"she said proudly as she pointed her dagger at me.
"Stop playing like children,we have save our sweat for the long ride,"Marty pointed out.
"How wise of you,how...kind of you."
"I'm not kind,not me." He gave me a look,a look that said so much,made me think I was completely wrong. Maybe I am.
"Well, there's our call,here comes Gubler with our commands from the Great Nikolai."
Rose-Anne Foresste's Pov:
Esther was waiting,he waited impatiently."How long are they going to take,Rose?"
"Not long,Esther. They have a lot of brave men and woman to gather."
The throne room was sparkling,the marble was bright as the stars. The banners were washed clean and the glass was even cleaner. I know she does not want to get married,it is too late now to try and stop him. So I smiled,as always.
They arrived and in numbers. They all looked sharp and braced for danger but their armour could not compare to the throne room.
"Is everyone here?,"shouted King Esther of Medghar's castle. "Not everyone,m' lord,"uttered Gubler.
"Well! Whether they are here or not,we shall say what is meant to be said!"
Clover Virqua's Pov:
He pushed me against the tree,but not too hard. He is always gentle around me,yet so fierce in battle.
"Leo,stop,someone will see."
He kissed my neck uncontrollably. I was defenseless. "Leo,stop now."
"No. I've waited to touch you for so long now,let it be."
He lifted his head and stared into my eyes. "Leo,we need to g....,"he kissed me. He lured my lips into an endless trap of passion.
He looked again. I knew what he wanted.
"Leo,not here,we can't."
"No one knows where we are and we have time."
He started to undress me and then a voice roared through the trees.
"I've known you two were in love,but not the kind I thought of." Leo stopped and drew his sword. The voice revealed himself. "No need for attempt of murder,to keep your secrets."
"Nikolai!"I pulled my dress properly.
What are you doing here?"
"Sticking around for the fun,"Nikolai said.He had no smile and no intention to leave us alone. What is going to happen now? I told Leo to stop.
"I believe you know the rules. The rules set by your very own captain and here you are, getting ready to make a baby. I can tell what you're thinking, Cloe. I won't tell your father nor your brother but keep in mind that this is against my laws."
"It's a f*****g horrible law!"
"Oh,what was that, Leo Sunsette?"
"It's a f*****g horrible law,it was made by you,the person the people call the man lover."
"You're right,I love men,that doesn't change the love that you have for Clover. If this doesn't stop then you can't come with us to the First Valley."
Leo stepped closer to him,sword in hand."Nikolai,I believe the only reason some laws are there is because you are afraid that we will fail the quest,to find Denvor and Dona,or the quest to find your lover." He pointed his sword at Nikolai.
" Leo,please." He waved his hand at me.
"Leave us alone and we can keep your secret too."
Nikolai pointed the sword away.
"It's no secret. Leo,you are my friend and I care about your safety. It is true that I love Denvor but this is different. One day,Clover will get married to man her father chooses. He will not choose Leo."
He is right,I fear that truth every day. I stood and held his face.
"Nikolai,please allow for us to love each other and until we can't."
"Our group of warriors,will soon come to know and they will keep the secret as well but the people of Medghar or any other Kingdom won't." We left the forest and I looked back. The walls are much larger than the trees.
Esther Foresste's Pov:
"Good morning to one and all,I believe we all now what is going to be done today. If anyone doesn't, please raise your hand so I can strike you myself. Today,is our last journey to find my dear friend's captured children from the dreaded Brotherhood. Every two years you have ventured to each corner of the our fearsome home we call Fyrre. Our noblemen and knights are defenseless against the power of flame. Those pretty boys can't take the heat,"I laughed. Those flowers are too weak and they damn knew it.
"That is why I had my children and their companions,only the strongest,to find them. I wish you all safe travels."
They all began to leave and some had already gone. "I AM NOT FINISHED!"
I let out a flame towards the ceiling.Those fools,they didn't know anyways.
"I wish to announce a wedding. My daughter is to marry the brave prince Arthur Gren."
"What!?" Haleina stepped towards me,not to close, I don't plan on embarrassing her."I don't want to get married and you haven't even told me anything and I am leaving today."
She forgot her manners. Nevertheless,I'll have to explain what a lady is,to my imbecile of a daughter.
"You have no right to shout at me,your King! I command you to marry him and you will do as I please! You are not a fighter nor a knight ,you are my daughter and you are to marry him and give me grandchildren! Do....you.....understand?!"
The entire court stared at us and my wife had left. If this carried on,she would be humiliated and then Arthur would leave her and my allegiance with his father would end. She realized they were staring too.
"Yes,father,"she replied as she took of her coat and showed her newly forged armour.
Maxwell Foresste's Pov:
My father stormed out and we looked at Haleina with shock. She always made an entrance,always made a point. Everyone was here in the throne room,saying goodbye to loved ones. My mother and father were gone. I walked up to Dawn,I gave her a kiss on the cheek and said goodbye."Bring them back to me,Maxi. Promise me,"Mother Dawn requested.She held my face with her frail fingers.
"I promise, Mother Dawn."
I waved at Father Halon. We all left and got ready to leave. It was hard saying goodbye,never knowing whether we would come back.
..........
Her stallion rode fast as she overlooked her kingdom,it was hers and it's all she will ever need. She looked with a smile at the woman cleaning their homes and the men sitting and drinking in the corners. They all smiled back and praised her name,that was given by the previous queen.
Senah arrived at her doorstep and walked in with speed. She walked fast and with purpose. She arrived at the supposed throne room,it was more of a living room. Her generals and followers sat patiently for her arrival. She took of her coat and sat down elegantly,in her blue dress and plated hair.
The first General spoke,"Our exhibition was a success but we lost many men,Senah." The second general agreed. Senah payed careful attention and smerked at them.
"Let their souls rest in peace. I brief your deaths and I implore you all. We must move on now,another exhibition must be planned,"Senah replied in her calm voice. Her eyes moved to the soldiers behind the general's heads. Fetish galore in her mind.
"It shall be be planned,M'lady,"the first general said as he left the room. He ordered the guards to move along but Senah shouted quickly,"Hold on,general. Sadly,my chamber guards have fallen ill. Do you mind if I borrow one of yours?"
"No problem,Princess Senah."
She studied their faces and stature. She stared intensely at one. His brown skin and blue eyes mesmorized her. She pointed at him and the others left.
They arrived at her room and he stood still,accepting his new job. He heard the rumours of this girl. He choose not to believe she slept with whomever she wanted,even if they were own soldiers.
"Brave guard,can you come inside?"
He opened the door and she was bare. The rumours are true and he gladly followed her ungodly orders.
