Thread: A Knight To Remember (Szor&Amira)

Nothing had been the same since the arrival of the mortals, the immortal world once in a delicate peace had been shaken to its core. Serena sat in the hall of leaders, there were three druidic princesses and one prince, each represented the four clans and elements that made up the Druid Kingdom. By the calm looks on everyones face you couldnt tell they were actually in a heated argument, Serena was the youngest of the leaders. Only being chosen by elders half a century ago, the other three often referred to her as spirited. It was not a compliment. They are hammering our borders, and what are you going to do sing them away? The red head nearly spat, she leaned across a large table that had sprouted from the ground. The elf prince raised an eyebrow at her display and shifted in his seat, not speaking out. She let out a loud sigh, standing up from her seat. Fine, if you three shall not do anything, I will. She announced storming from the hall. It wasnt long after that Serena left Dunravi behind, heading for one of the largest human kingdoms she knew. Saddling up a rather large drake she flew across the protected border of the Druidic empire and into untamed land of the humans. She landed into the castle court yard in the dead of night, it caused quite the stir as her unruly companion bellowed through the air. He was a young dragon that liked to announce his presence whenever he arrived, Serena had chosen him because of his speed and stamina. Just as the king arrived, wrapped in royal robes and surrounded by a heavily armed guard. What is the meaning of this elf? He yelled up at her. She stood on top of her mounts back, the moon shined behind her curvy silhouette. I have come to speak with you human. She said, her voice a bit haughty. How this simple human could speak to her in such a way was beyond her. What was special about humans? Yes, they were plentiful, they were physically strong, but they died in less than a century and could not channel the spirit of magic. She dismounted, her soft white robes catching a bit revealing more of her soft skin than was considered prudent by a human. She walked towards the king, he was shorter than she had imagined, his face directly in front of her chest. We should speakprivately. She announced looking over at the guards. The King and Serena discussed well into the night behind closed doors, by the break of morning there was a hand shake and a deal struck. The king would provide Serena with his best knight to escort her to the Mage king and would aid the druids at their borders in exchange for the protection of their own kingdom walls by Serenas drake Azlin. When am I to meet this knight? Serena asked the king. I will send my guards to fetch him and ready him for this mission, you should settle in for the day. I dont think waiting until morning will change much. The next morning, Serena stood in the courtyard waiting, she had a hand pressed to Azlins face whispering to the drake in a tongue humans could not understand. She gave him instructs to protect the kingdom, which he gladly accepted, fool hardy and ready for his own territory and task. She knew she had made a good choice by bringing him, and it would be much easier to ride into the mage kingdom on horse back. The Dragons were not keen on getting too close to the mage kingdom because of the magic they used to protect their borders.
