Faulted Desire

Alliances

Morning broke through the clouds and that made Hazens head hurt more. the wolves were still staggering as he left guest chambers, he was met by his partners outside the door smirking at the wolfy hangover he had.” April tea in hand “here drink this tea it will help that headache, it has ginger and cinnamon, feverfew and white willow bark. it will take the edge off.” Hazen took the cup and drank it, it was bitter.

Estara felt it would be good to tease him a little “sucks to be you love, you missed out on a fun night and me a Bianca’s outfits “Hazen got a look like a sad puppy on his face, and Bianca couldn’t resist it any longer “no you didn’t, we all decided to wait for you. don’t worry good things come to those who wait”. Hazen had a glimmer in his eye and if he had a tail it be wagging. Estara sided Bianca “your no fun!” pouting Bianca didn’t miss a beat. “Yes, I am, and you know it! “Estara was promptly smacked on the ass by the succubus tail. Idrealle was standing by watching everything. just giggling and shacking his head. it was nearly lunch but decisions on where they would travel needed to be made. it used to be just a couple and now it is all four, some the change needed to be elaborated. Estara had an idea brewing that she planned on bringing up at lunch she figured would benefit everyone. They all walked in the dining room, seeing all the parents still there “perfect everyone is still here, I have an idea I want to propose”. all looked at her and stopped chewing. the king spoke “and what per say is this idea that we very well will probably regret also?” Idrealle opened his mouth to speak, Estara stopped him” my idea is as follows. we normally leave for a week to the brooding home with the chosen candidate, well where I chose all three and f****d it all up. why not have us travel to all the brooding homes over the next three months, one for each society. this will give us opportunity to one meet and learn of each areas history and needs, 2 it will give us each opportunity to get to know each other on a personal level and three show other kingdoms that change can and will be good for all of us. the thing I ask for you help in is deciding the order of visits, and if we are lucky this could contribute to not one but two new heirs by the coming year “all the parents again were surprised by this seemingly sheltered girl, who apparently knows a lot more then she lets on, even her partners were astounded by the thought. for the first real conversation of the day, Bianca’s parents spoke on the idea “well as that may be unorthodox, not saying this whole situation isn’t but we think this may be a start to bigger, better things. So, we are on board “Idrealles mother and father were in agreeance as well. and so were Hazens. estaras father was going to speak out against everything like normal, but her mother spoke up instead “listen this entire thing since the beginning has not been ok in my books, and I knew your father is a definite no, but I will pass final judgment and if all the other families agree, I will say yes! I do propose you take April with you and dragailum best boat because the sea can be hard to travel at times. I will make sure you have all supplies and or resources and I will be sending with you two bag of tokens, 2 bags of blitterblokes, and one bag fortenies. this should be enough to suffice you for extras and wants that any of you want. I know in other societies you may have to change for their currency, but I am sure your babes can help you with that. count this as my wedding gift! I would suggest the skyires home first as they have some interesting activities.” smirking at Estara. it was the first time she had seen her mom smile in quite some time, even before coronation. Bianca’s parents chimed in and said “we would love to have you, the brooding home is in knightbourne, our secondary city “Estara was happy that for once everyone agreed on something. and if wasn’t a huge fight. she gathered everyone and headed back to her chambers, she wanted to talk to her partners without the parents.

The princess was ecstatic, they all entered the room to revel in excitement. “So, my lovelies on last thing I like us to figure out.” all raised an eyebrow. Hazen headache was now gone, so he was intrigued. “How do we remove this f*****g collar?” all stopped and had a oh s**t look on their faces, they had all forgotten about it. They all broke out into laughter “well why don’t we all try our keys and see if it works, that is how we were supposed to do it in the first place “Hazen spoke up as he finally had his faculties together. they all shrugged why not, Idrealle pulled the key from his vest and puts it in the keyhole, turns it and nothing! the other two follow suit but nothing happens. now all confused. April spoke from the shadows carrying the afternoon tea “what about all three at the same time, you have already changed other things?” Bianca piped up “thanks April not a bad idea.” 

All three walked over to Estara and placed their keys in the designated spots and all turned at once. something moved and made a clicking noise and with a flash of blinding light, the collar fell into pieces on the floor. all had a look like they were caught in headlights. “Oh my god, you don’t know how good it feels to get the scratchy metal s**t off of me”. the wolve now feeling cheeky, “I don’t know I kind of liked you in the collar, beautiful “biting his lip “Estara took a moment to think “what if when we got to your respective kingdoms, you all choose something to have me bind to you and show I am yours, and I will do the same for you all “. the partners all looked at one another and agreed. the evening was waning quickly, but it was clear that their alliance would be fruitful.

As the night rounded to an end. the families were finally able to pack things up to go back home. tensions were not as high. “So, everyone out of curiosity could we maybe figure out the exchange of money between my kingdoms and yours. just so I can have an idea, for when I buy souvenirs “Estara smiled.

The dragailum kingdom has three forms of coins, Estara pulled out the three so she could explain “so our token is equivalent to hundreds. so, I have two tokens that is 200 hundred coins. blitterblokes are our dollars and fortensies is our cents. what about your guys?” Bianca still had money left over from her last paycheck on her, “our highest coin value a Marin they are worth three hundred coins but are equivalent to one of your tokens. So, one token is equal to 300 marins and we don’t have a cent, just a dollar option and those are our unises which are a 5 $ coin. so, with your blitterblokes, say 10 would equal to 50 of our unises “.

Bianca continued but the boys were dozing on the couch, it be cute if there was a camera, Hazen had his head hung over the back snoring and Idrealle had fallen asleep in Hazen lap like a cat.

Estara went to the window as she noticed a strange light in the sky, when she opened the curtain, she could see in the black of the night that there was a red smoke stream across the sky and its sight made her shiver, Bianca noticed the change in her character and walked over to check on her and what she was looking at. Bianca put her had on estaras waist and her head on her shoulder. “Its ok babe lets go to bed don’t worry about it!” as Bianca walked Estara to the bed she turned back to look at the window, something was seriously wrong. Hazen woke up to their chatter but kept quiet and could see the concern on Bianca face, she darted her eyes, he slowly moved Idrealle head to ly him on the couch, and got up and went to the window, when he looked his eyes got wide. when he looked back at Bianca, she just finished putting Estara into bed, when she got back up to meet him at the window. he put his hand around her and pulled her close and kissed her on top of the head. “It will be ok little bird, it will be ok, let not alarm Estara right now, she finally got what she wanted let’s not screw it up with talk of prophecy whispering in her ears. get some sleep you will need it. it is going to be a long year!” Bianca still concerned said “you to “and kisses the wolve back. Estara had her eyes closed but still was awake, she would ask when the time was right. Bianca crawled in bed beside her, and Hazen lifted Idrealle to the sat tie and opened the hidden bed, once out and set up moved the vampire who was clearly stammering in his sleep, Hazen smiled at him and put him in the bed. Hazen removed his clothes down to his boxers and crawls into bed with his new living dead life-sized cuddle buddy, as Idrealle turns over and lay right on the middle of his chest “oooooh so scary “he giggles under his breathe and drifts off to sleep.

The morning was busy as normal in the palace but a little more then usual as the family were doing a final clear out and the main ship was getting for its departure to Umaris.

Estara ran away that morning to go and pick up a few last naughty things from her favorite shop. she went to go and grab something for the boys. she walked in and the first thing the shopkeeper said “back again and this time I guessing it is for the boys. might is suggest a nice pair of lace boxers, skin-tight and handcuffs and a blindfold “she looked around the room as she knew wouldn’t be back for a while and her eyes set on a leather paddle and a leather 8 strap flogger. Estara made a comment to herself “hey everyone likes a like of pain” giggling she pays and leaves to go back to the palace.
