Thread: Romancing the Stone  {KayLove & The Wolven Lord}

Gorn gave Athena a knowing look. He wasn't suprised a Guardian could sense such things. Somehow he knew she could be trusted. Or maybe it was because she was beautiful and had interest in him. He rarely could tell the difference. When in doubt go with your gut, his father told him as a boy. Advice that bore a rather mixed blessing of fruit. However from a Waster's perspective, the world is harsh. A scream tore through the night like a banshee. Followed by several more. The revellers by the lit barrel froze in their tracks looking towards the direction of the cries of distress. A few people began to move briskly towards the source. No guards had responded yet. It was likely the few guards stationed in this remote fishing village were rousing from a drink induced stupor. Muttering a curse, Gorn felt like he needed to investigate. A woman was in trouble. He began running towards the sound and turned back to Athena shouting Come on! His boots thundered down the cobblestone street towards the marketplace. The trader stalls were empty. Earlier today it might have been full of people shopping for food and various wares. Now it was a scene of chaos. A man clearly out of control with rage was struggling with another. A woman lay on the ground screaming clutching her bloody face. Crimson ran between her fingertips freely. The deranged man was trying to bite and claw the other. Gorn growled and bounded towards the maniac. With a grab at the collar of the mans shirt and trouser leg, Gorn hoisted him over his head and promptly threw him into a stall shattering the wood. Into several large pieces. The man who came to the woman's aid knelt beside her trying to assess her situation. He was an older man with a salt and pepper five o clock shadow. His clothing suggested he was working class. The woman was in her twentys with shoulder length blonde hair. Her sky blue dress was now stained with dark blood. Her wails of pain filled Gorns ears. The older man looked up at Gorn and quietly said It's bad. She needs a magister. Before Gorn could respond the crazed man shot up from the broken traders stall and charged Gorn taking him by surprise. His mouth was foaming, snapping teeth stained with gore. He closed the distance to the Waster with alarming speed. Gorn was too focused on the hurt woman to react quick enough. The older man yelled Look out!

Thread: Creating an Heir - (Chey Luik & DaveTheHuman)

The castle had been busy since it had leaked out about the needed heir. There were crowds of differ people arriving each day. Mostly women to apply for the position to be the one to provide the king and heir. Ellinor was cleaning the king's chambers while he was with his advisors. She felt sorry for her childhood friend as it was sad the way he lost his lovely wife before they had a real chance for happiness. She pondered on how he really felt about his current situation. How she would love to hear him laugh again as he use to when he was a boy. She made his bed, her slender fingers lingering on the silken overly. Anyone would be lucky to be with him, she thought. Ellinor scrubbed the marble floor in his room until it glistened, emptying his chamber pot into the bucket after she had finished, leaning out the window and tossing it out. She scurried back to place the empty pot where it belonged. 'No, I would never be suited for him.' she thought as she closed the door on the wooden cabinet. In her heart, she longed for the relationship that they once had. He had given her fond memories the greatest being her first pre-teen kiss. Did he ever thing of their childhood, she wondered. Ellinor shook her head, running her fingers through her long blonde hair as she tried to get the past images out of her mind. She was too far beneath his class for him, although, many other maids were applying. There were too many other women in the kingdom much more suited for his class. She finished her cleaning of his chamber and place a vase of wild flowers on the table to bright up his room. The sunlight from the window shone brightly upon them. She started to leave the room when the door swung open, knocking her to the floor as it did. Ellinor gazed upward at him with her piercing green eyes, stunned for a moment as she had not really looked at him that closely in years. It felt like time stood still at that very moment.

As he walked, the king's body may have been in the palace halls, but his mind was not. Ever since the crown was placed on his head it had been this way. He had never expected to be king, he had two brothers older than him. King David's jaw clenched remembering back on the night of his coronation. It was mere hours after his family was murdered. The assassins tore through the palace in every manner of death they could dispense... but he survived. Some say the gods showed him mercy, but he did not agree. Instead he felt like they had given him to them darkest and deepest part of hell. So many loved ones dead, along with his wife who he watched die in his arms. The war that followed was swift and brutal but it did not bring him peace, even after the resounding victory. The days continued to linger on with memories of pain and the heavy weight of kingship on his shoulders. But somehow he still continued on. However there was one thing war brought him, and that was an even greater sense of mortality. Countless times he stood inches and seconds from death, reminding him that any one of those could plummet his kingdom into civil war. He needed an heir but he could not bring himself to even consider the idea of loving another woman. The thought made all the memories of her rush into him as a cruel reminder of what could never be. As the king walked through the halls, his fists clenched. He could not express sadness anymore after that night. Sadness seemed like a drop of rain in the ocean compared to his feelings that night. So instead anger became his emotional depth. But as king he had learned to suppress that as best he could. With his gained sense of mortality he knew he needed an heir. One mention in a royal advisors meeting and women came flooding into the royal city. To prevent chaos, a system was put into place. The royal midwife and two of his advisors would select twenty women and then he would choose one of them. David did not wish it to be this way, but it was inescapable. The fact it had gotten so out of hand made him angry inside. He wished this to be simple and discrete but it was far past that now. Reaching his room, his frustration became difficult to contain the frustrations and anger that crawled beneath his skin so he shoved the heavy oak door with both hands. His eyes widened realizing he had hit someone. Stepping through, he saw a familiar face and an old friend ... Ellinor? Damn it I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone would be behind my door. He reached down and helped her up. Are you hurt? He looked into her green eyes not seeing pain but knowing he should ask anyways. Memories came back to him of them long ago. Such a good friend before their lives got pulled in different directions by their stations. It was a shame, but he was glad to see her now. He had seen her many times before in the palace but his mind was always elsewhere since that night.

Ellinor's cheeks were a bright crimson as she looked up at him, it was the first time in years that that had spoken or been that close to each other and here she was right on her bum. She almost laugh as she recalled the last time she had landed on her bottom from him. She felt funny as she gave him her hand, trembling as he touched her. No, I am not hurt, Dav... Your Majasty. she felt a bit awkward as she wanted it to be like it was so many years ago. She tried not to stare into his eyes but could not help it. She tried to make a joke out of the situation. At least, I am not as hurt as the last time you made me land on my bum. It was just the two of them in the room, maybe he would not mind her being his friend like this when no one was around. She longed to hear his laugh and see him smile as he had not done much of that as of late. You finally have me in your bedchamber. she said jokingly as the memory of when he gave her that first kiss reminded her what he had said. She stood so close to him and he had not let go of her hand yet. Ellinor's green eyes tried to read him, wondering if they were having the same thoughts of their childhood. Ellinor broke the silence once more as she was nervous being so close to him. I hear you shall be having an heir someday. There are so many for you to chose from. I hope you find someone worthy of that. She wanted him happy again. She knew he wasn't looking for a companion but just someone to give him an heir. Her thoughts at that moment made her tinge in her belly, I wish I could make him happy and give him what he needed.

He smiled at her joke about the last time she fell on her bottom. They had both been climbing a tree out in the fields beyond the palace. David was on a branch higher up then her which ended up snapping. Unfortunately she was below him and ended up being knocked off by him. He felt terrible about it but luckily the branch she fell from wasn't too high or else she could have been seriously injured from the impact. Back when they were younger they were quite close. He had the usual noble friends who would visit the palace for a month or two at a time from their provinces, but she was always here. That availability among other things is what helped their friendship grow so well. However their friendship changed as the prince grew. It culminated in his first kiss when they were preteens but was quickly shunned by his father. His father's words stung terribly and it took a long time for David to suppress his feelings for his wet nurse's daughter. So when he heard her quip about getting her in his chambers, he did not know quite to say. He wasn't offended in any manner but it reminded him of an area of his life that was never fully resolved. David was thankful when she changed the subject even though the topic was another unresolved one. He nodded Hopefully soon, yes. There are indeed many great women trying for it. And then the king said something he only planned on keeping in his thoughts, but the words came out Why aren't you going through the process? His insides froze after the words left his mouth but he slowly warmed up to them as he toyed with the idea. She came from a large family, he trusted her, she was not a noble seeking to establish a new royal family, and she wasn't married. It stunned the king how there were even married women seeking to have his heir.

It was good to see him smile, Ellinor knew that he had not done much of that as of late. The king didn't seem to mind her speaking to him casually, she was thankful for that he had never treated her badly. She knew when it was time that they could not be playmates anymore it was beyond his control. Although she missed him terribly she never resented him or what had happen between them. She had always cherished his friendship and still would. Ellinor listened to him as he told her about the many different women trying for the position. She gasped when he said that even married women were applying. Surely, one of them would not be of your choosing. She knew how truthful he was to his late wife so surely he would be appalled by such. When the king brought up about why she had not applied. Ellinor didn't know what to say, her cheeks redden. I really don't think your advisors would pick someone like me, your Majesty. She would have loved to have giving him an heir but she had no idea if she would be approve and get hurt all over again and would not want to spoil what she might have just regained. I am sure there will be one much better qualified. she said to him but she thought if he asked she would apply as she would do anything for him. She bent down to pick up her cleaning supplies before he would have the chance to do just that. You know where to find me if you ever need an ear. I will always be here for you. Besides I am always here in your chamber. I must be going as I have more rooms to clean. She headed towards the door, just before she opened it. Just try not to knock me on my bum again. she gave him a wink as she reached to pull the door open.

Hearing her speak of the other women, David felt she was being modest. Sure many of the other women were of noble and even royal birth, but he saw that as a dissuading factor. If he was to choose a noble or royal to have his heir, he would be forever wondering if her family was looking to gain political control. Whereas a family of common birth may have ambition, but not to such menacing extremes. But the king did not press Ellinor. She did not wish to apply and he would certainly never force a woman to so. He was just happy to have some time to speak with her. Saying their goodbyes, he smiled at her final joke. He told himself he'd take her up on that offer. David felt like he needed to spend a little less time being a king. He knew his crown was weighing heavily on his soul and the short time he spent with his old friend seemed to lessen that. After setting down his crown in his chambers, the king left and went downstairs to the small hall. Inside was the midwife and two trusted advisors. They were discussing some of the candidates before they heard his footsteps. Once noticed, they stood and bowed Your majesty, we are continuing to narrow the list and have found several good candidates. One in particular has caught all of our attention. Would you care to meet her? The advisor speaking was named James. He was an older man who had served his father for a very long time. David hesitantly replied Yes, I'd like to meet her. After sitting and talking for a while about the progress, the woman came into the small hall and bowed. As he looked at her, the king could feel his throat going dry. James said Your majesty, let me introduce Margaret Hensfield. She is from the northern reached of the kingdom where her family owns several large farmlands. The king looked at her soft brown hair which came down just below her shoulders, her blue eyes, red lips, and fair skin. Her body was shaped like an hourglass and everything about her was lovely. Yet the king could feel his heart beating with nerves. She looked so much like her. Her body seemed nearly identical and her face... as if she was a sister to her. Memories began to plague him, things he wished to forget. But the resemblance was too much. So David struggled to regain his composure as he replied ... Good to meet you... Margaret. The midwife eyed the king closely. She knew it was a risk picking Margaret. They all had wondered if picking a woman so similar to his wife was a good idea. The kings reaction showed it clearly was not even though he fought to hide it.

Ellinor was both happy and sad as she parted company with him but she had to finish her daily task. She hoped that she would see him more now that he knew she was his chamber maid. The thought of perhaps seeing him everyday made her look forward to the next day. She hummed cheerfully that afternoon as she worked until all of her tasks were done. She enjoyed the sun shining down upon her face as she strolled to their cottage on the estate, picking wild-flowers to take to her mother. The king had always taken good care of her mother and her. They were lucky that her mother had been the king's wet nurse when her father had passed they had been given a quaint little cottage where they could have a garden and live comfortably. She was the youngest of eight and remained living with her mother. Ellinor was dancing as she walked, her day was a bit brighter as she recalled his smile. Her mind was still up in the clouds when she got to the cottage door. Ellinor called out to her mother, Its a lovely day isn't it, mama Hilde had been preparing their evening meal when her daughter arrive, looking up from her baking table as she was rolling out dough for biscuits that they would have with their stew. What has you all cheery today, my dear? Ellinor picked up a vase that was on the mantle, she poured some water into it from the bucket on the cabinet, placing the wild-flowers in the vase before setting it on their dinner table. She walked over to her mother and placed a kiss upon her cheek. I saw David today and we had a lovely chat, mama. She glanced at her mother, still as pretty now as she was in her youth. Her long blonde hair was now streaked with gray but pulled up tightly into a bun on the top of her head, wearing her apron over her black dress. You have heard, mama, that the king is looking for someone to have his heir. You would not believe what he said to me. She thought how he asked why she was not going through the process. She thought that perhaps he wanted her to. Ellinor went to the stew pot that was bubbling over the small fire, lifting the lid and giving it a stir. She was famished. The stew was filled with onions, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, cabbage and rutabaga. The meat looked like venison. They usually got meat from the king's hunters each week. Her mother asked about what the king had said to her. Now, dear, I would not read too much into it. You know David was always a nice boy but he has his position. Hilde did not want to see Ellinor pine after him again.

For the brief time Margaret was in the small hall, David tried to regain his composure and be welcoming. After all, it wasn't her fault that she bore such a close resemblance to his late wife. If fault was to be given it would be for the three who selected her. The king only hoped that their intentions, although misguided, were good. When the woman left, the king stood. He did not have the stomach to spend anymore time participating in this process. Looking at his advisors and the midwife he said I understand what you three did there and I don't want it to happen again. With that, he left. Margaret seemed like a kind woman but her resemblance to his wife was too much to overlook. The king could not have her without having his thoughts tortured whenever he looked at her. For what was left of the day, the King was in a meeting about the recent war with Brumeo. It seemed the royal family they put in power was cooperating with the peaceful terms however reconstruction of their kingdom was proving more costly than expected. David wished it wasn't so, but as long as they were peaceful he had little issue with extending the due dates of their debt. When his family was murdered and the culprits were found to be assassins from Brumeo and hired by the previous royal family, nothing could save them from David's army. He spent only a year warring in the neighboring kingdom but it was one with great devastation. The focal points were on the assassin's guild to the north and their capital city. Both held out as long as they could but the tactic of starvation and contaminated waters would break anyone within walls. After that even the most skilled of assassins was wiped out by his army and the city was set ablaze. When he finished the meeting and headed to his chambers before dinner, his hand lingered on the bedsheets. There was something greatly missing within him and the void needed to be filled. Calling in a servant he said Go to my chambermaid Ellinor and ask her if she would like to spend the day with me tomorrow... ask. The servant bowed and headed out. Friends were hard to come by when so much power was to be gained, but he felt Ellinor was the same woman he knew many years ago. He hoped her friendship would bring her some measure of peace.

The hearth's warm glow filled the main room of the cottage. Ellinor loved how the flames flickered and danced as if the room was filled with music. She went to the hearth to check on the biscuits that her mother had put in. They looked perfect and the smell filled the air that would lure anyone in. She love the smell of anything freshly baked. She put the hot biscuit into a clean towel and set them in the bread basket. She put a slab of freshly churned butter on a plate and took the items to their table. She poured some of the venison stew into two bowls and called her mother inside from the garden. The ladies were just about to sit down to eat when there was a rap on the door. Foods on the table and of course someone shows up. Hilde said as she went to answer it. She was taken back when she saw the king's servant. Well, pipe up what message do you have? Ellinor waited as the servant seem to be hesitant to say. Miss, the king wants to know if you would like to spend the day with him tomorrow. Ellinor smiled as she was happy. See mother, he still wants his old friend. Please tell his Majesty that I would love to spend the day with him after I have done my morning duties. She paused. Make sure you tell him that I must do my work first. The servant replied yes, miss Hilde closed the cottage door as the servant left. You must dress nicely, dear if you will be out with his Majesty. Ellinor promptly stated I have a simple gown I can wear and still look favourable to be out with him, mamma. The stew and warm biscuits filled their needs, soon Hilde had laid down on her bed and was asleep. Ellinor took out her gown , making sure it still fitted nicely. She didn't know why she was making such a fuss on what to wear but he was the king so she needed to look nice. She straighten up the cottage and washed the bowls in a bucket, tossing the water out behind the cottage. She looked up at the evening sky, watching the stars dance in the moonlight.

When the servant returned and David heard her reply he was very happy she accepted. However, he found it strange she insisted on finishing her work beforehand. There were certainly other maids who could take care of his chambers, but if she really wanted to do it he wouldn't argue. The King attended dinner in the great hall with the usual lords and nobles along with a few who were visiting from the various reaches of the kingdom. Usually during these dinners he would think of how dim the hall looked without his family and wife, but tonight he had a distraction. David was busy thinking of spending time with Ellinor tomorrow. It had been a long time since they'd wandered together and a long time since he had a friend to simply spend time with. Sure lords and nobles were always happy to pass the time with him, but it seemed there was always an ulterior motive, something business related. Tonight at the dinner, the ulterior motive was blatantly clear. Several of the families had daughters who were hoping to be selected to have his heir. And there was undoubtedly a lot of boasting about them. But the kings mood could not be swayed tonight. After the meal was finished the king lingered there for a short while before returning to his chambers. The next morning, the king slept in a bit. He was sure to cancel everything to clear the day for him and Ellinor. When he woke up, he change and headed down for breakfast. He didn't know how long it took Ellinor to finish her duties, so he decided to let her come to him when she was ready. Thoughts filled his head of what to do. Perhaps a horse ride or walk through the forest would be enjoyable. The king considered a walk through the town but things had become crazy out there since the heir announcement. He didn't want to stir anything up.
