Thread: Spoils of War [Rayn_Chain]

The defending kingdom were trying there best against the invading forces, but it was obvious that there was no way that they were going to win. This fight was one sided, there allies never showed to aid them and they were now under attack by vampires as well, which brought fear to everyone in the city, and as soon as word reached the palace everyone was brought into the throne room including the king and his four children, three sons and the youngest sibling, the kings only daughter Ember, a very beautiful girl, but unfortunately she was blinded when she was very little, so she was of no use, or so everyone except her mother thought, but her mother was long gone, dead from a disease long ago that took her from Ember. That was one of the last things she remembered seeing as well as her garden in the back of the palace, no one is sure how it happened, but when she woke one day she screamed and when her maids entered she was unable to see. Ember was about five foot five, rather small compared to the others around her, but she was slender and looked almost like a little doll, so innocent, at least so she seemed. She had icy blue eyes and long dark red hair, which curled at the ends reaching down to her mid back. That day she wore a dark purple gown with a corset over the top, defining her curves and tone figure while the sides of the dress were slit up to her mid thigh, showing off her slender legs. She listened to everything that was going on, catching a lot of information in the chit chat around her, everyone was in a panic, her maids were circled around her and as usual one woman in particular stood next to the princess allowing her to place her hand on her shoulder to guide her around, even though the girl know how to use a walking stick both for searching things out and as a weapon if needed. A messenger stormed in and began rattling on about what was happening, making it obvious to the princess that there was no escape out any of the hidden tunnels around the palace. So they were just to stay put as her father and brothers left to go try and help, and in Embers mind to die with honor and in hopes of protecting the rest of them. Ember remained still as they went out of the room, leaving the princess and different male and female servants who began crowding around into small groups, whispering and without a doubt looking to the girl, the maid at her side asking her if she would like to change into something different since she did not want harm to come to her mistress, and if hiding her identity would help she would do it, but Ember shook her head and gave a soft sigh, No either way we look at it everyone in our kingdom will be taken as slaves, there is no point in hiding who I am. She replied as she grasped the womans shoulder tightly, obviously fearful, but trying to be brave despite that there odds were against them for a long time now, her father and brothers no doubt killed by the vampires for trying to defend the ones in the palace. Ember wondered what was going to happen, as did the others since there were horror stories about what there kind did to humans, and not a single bit of it seemed to appealing to her. She held the hands of a few of the maids who were in tears and at the sound of the catapults ammunition hitting the walls, destroying them with ease. It was only a matter of time before the doors to the room they were in were opened and they would have to face what was on the other side.
