Thread: To Build A Dynasty (JohnizBeast and Ezralora)

The two spinning on the dance floor, spiralling around though as they did he dissipated into a mist of flames and ice, and snow and the halls were no longer filled with people and she was alone. She stumbled snapping out of this vision and looking over the gardens, feeling the breeze brushing through her and she closed her eyes, a solemn look on her face. Can't the past just stay dead for me.. She muttered and shook her head, the memories of the kingdom she lost burning in her brain. After finishing his work and breakfast Regulus made his way down the hall where he planned on meeting up with her. Though as he went through the halls he spotted Aemira stumbling into the Gardens. He then followed her into it wanting to make sure she was okay. He then walked out next to her and said You know I really do worry about you. I see you stumbling and leaning on things all the time. Please tell me what is going on with you... are you sick or not? I am not trying to pry its just... right now you are my only ally in all of this. If there is chance I could lose you... I need to know Aemira was lightly massaging her temple as he approached before looking over her shoulder at him, and followed him as he walked to her side before nodding. Yes do not worry i am fine, and there's not a chance you'll lose me unless you poison me... even then you run the risk of just making me angry.. She said, rather coldly the last bit before smiling at him and placed her hands together. So how can i help you now Regulus? She asked and gave him a slight smile, hiding the pain she was feeling inside right now. Yeah I don't plan on poisoning you..... I hope you don't think I went through all this trouble just to kill you. If I wanted to kill you I would have tried to do it when we first meant He responded feeling a little akward about her comment. Then at her next comment he responded saying still feeling a bit awkward Well you know, I would still love those weapons... if your still feeling up for it... Aemira bowed her head slowly as he spoke before turning. I will get to work immediately then. She told him and headed off again at a much slower pace, but a steady one to say the least. She headed outside of the castle into a clear patch on the outskirts of the walls. Taking her forefinger and thumb she place dhtem in her mouth before letting out a loud whistle. Emptying her back a large crystal looking anvil moved out of it, as well as several tools. She traced her hand across her chest, and as she did her clothes changed to sooty blue baggy trousers, thick leather gloves, boots a large piece of cloth tied around her waist and a blue bandanna keeping her hair from her face. Alright sounds good to me Regulus replied. He then followed her and watched as she summoned her tools and clothing. He couldn't help himself and replied You know you still look hot in that to just to let you know. Also are you forging out here? or downstairs in the forge? Just want to know for future reference. You've still got to find a suitor. She called over to him in response to his comment as she tightened the bandana and whistled sharply. There was a roar as the two dragons got to her side, she spoke to them in that foreign language and the pair of them laid down like well trained dogs, Fang's tail wagging energetically. The forge you have is two small. She stated and looked around for he metal she had to work with. Yeah right.... a suitror... not really looking right now, I have to many things on my plate. No time for courting a woman. He replied to her. After fang and Brisk came to her side he just watched then listened to her comment How big do you need? I will make sure it is built for you. With that men where now carrying out the finest steal they could find in the last day to her. But when you are getting into the habit of looking at other women wouldn't be very gentlemanly of you. She was only messing with him and having fun doing so. Once the guards brought the steel to her she picked up a single bar and knocked it on the edge of the anvil, listening to the sound of it. Hmm.. She examined it for a moment and then held it to the big red dragon, whom's nostrils flared as it sniffed the iron bar. He sighed a bit at Aemira's response and said Well you know I cannot help myself when a beautiful woman is in front of me. It would be different if I had a wife. He then watched as she took the steel and examined it with her dragon. He then asked So is the steel good enough? I tried to get the best I could with the time we had. More is coming in tomorrow that should be higher quality if that is not good enough.... I even ordered some mithril for you. She glanced over at him before smiling a little as she nodded. it'll do to begin with for now don't worry. she stated and held the ingot out in front of Fang who growled lowly. Slowly he opened his mouth and blew out a steady stream of fire in front of him, letting it head up as the redgolden coloured flames licked around it. Aemira held the ingot in the flame and let it heat up slowly, the metal going from a silvery colour to a dull red, and still being heated up further. It was clear she was taking her time, not wanting the metal to be ruined. Regulus nodded and said while watching in awe as Aemira forged the weapons I am happy to know, also I am sure you know how rare Mithril is, I was only able to get enough for a couple weapons or one set of armor. If you could please use it to make armor for yourself. We need you alive no matter what. She glanced over at him as the heat from the metal caused the air around it to ripple. Hmm? She asked and perked an eyebrow sensing this isn't something to argue about. I'll make a half plate, a set for you and me. She added, You are the king, the king deserves the best protection. Regulus nodded and said Fine, I will let you have this one, just make sure yours is as protective as mine is. He then sat down on a near by rock as he continued to watch her work. So tell me, would you like me to have a bigger forge built for you? She shook her head as she continued to work, rising her hammer up into the air and struck down upon the metal causing sparks to fly everywhere, the light reflecting in the goggles covering her eyes. The anvil remained silent on the grass, the clear diamond seemingly sturdy as anything. She whistled snd Fang applied some more heat to the metal. I don't need a bigger forge, this is just fine for me thank you Regulus, out in the open.. though i'd understand if you wanted it to be more protected. Regulus watched her forge, he then listened to her before saying Yes that is the point, if you forge weapons out in the open, it won't take long for word to spread about you doing such things. Then it won't take long for enemies to try and sabotage or hurt you. I will make sure the forge is as big as you need. Hell I will build it right here if you want, just let me know. Aemira glanced over her shoulder at him and lowered her hammer to the side before taking in a deep breath. If you want to build something around this area then that is fine, though i would say either make room for Fang and Brisk's heads or themselves. I don't want to be a drain on your resources though. She commented before getting back to swinging the hammer. Tink, the sparks flew everywhere again. Even if they see me though, they won't know how to make it, there's only so much information that can be gathered from watching. But. Tink. I do admit that being hurt is something i don't want right now. Tink, and then another whoosh of flame from Fang. He responded to her first comment by saying No, honestly the resources you will provide us with are worth it. So don't worry about it. He then nodded at her next comment before saying Alright I will construct a large dome here. For you and your dragons, is there anything else you would want in your forge Queen Aemira? She bowed her head in thanks to him for being so considerate at his building and well her protection. It was.. flattering was what she thought. You are too kind King Regulus. She stated and began drawing the metal out into the shape of a blade and once she had, she whistled at Brisk who seemingly lolled his head open and puffed out a cloud of frosty mist, instantly cooling down the metal with a hiss and she laid it down leaving it for now. Once the metal had been placed down she turned to look over at Regulus, I don't think there is anything else right now no. That would be more than enough. She told him, bowing her head slightly. Regulus smiled at her compliment and replied Thank you, though it is really not a problem. You are my ally, my housemate and friend. If I am unable to properly provide you with protection and a proper working environment it would be my shame. He continued to watch as Aemira forced the blade. Aemira took the bar and nodded to the two dragons as they both hit it with their breaths, burning it and freezing it at the same time. It was clear at this moment why only she could do this, she muttered a few choice words before bringing her hammer up into the air and struck it down on the glowing blue metal bar. There was a crash and eruption of sparks and frosty mist, both scorching and freezing the ground beneath her. She struck it again and the same effect, the clear crystal of the anvil becoming conflicted with various mixtures of storms, fire, frost, lightning air, it looked like sheer chaos around her as she worked. Folding the bar countless times, easily with well placed strikes. Regulus watched her closely as she worked, smiling as she did her deed. So tell me how do you give a weapon a soul? He asked her. She continued to strike the metal as the pulses of energy came out of the ground and around them. That is something i will do in secret.. i do not mean to disrespect you king regulus but it is a cultural secret, and as we are not bonded in marriage or related .. She hoped she wouldn't have to finish that sentence. These will most likely be the last crafts of my kind. Regulus nodded and replied No disrespect taken, I completely understand and respect your need to keep the secrets of your kin to yourself. He then listened to her last statement and said You never know, just as you said to me. You may end up finding the perfect partner and continuing your line and the secrets of your kin I suppose we shall find out.. She stated and left the metal on the diamond anvil before moving back, the ingot had curled into a fine metal ball about the size of a large apple. We shall leave that there for now.. She stated and nodded to fang and Brisk who rose up before going to breath on the anvil and metal ball, a breath of fire and ice infusing in the metal. You enjoy the display? Yes we will see Regulus replied. He continued to watch her work smiling as she spoke to her dragons. Then when she asked him about enjoying the display he smiled and replied Actually yes I am, it is no often I get to watch a master smith of your level work. Also I have a question, there is a ball tomorrow night at the Palace. I was going to go alone, but I was wondering if you would come with me. It would be a good time for me to introduce you to our allies, also it would help keep those suitors away from me. She smiled and bowed a little as he complimented her and removed her bandanna from her head letting her hair fall onto her shoulders. Oh i see, well it would be rude to refuse your offer, an offer of such a gracious host... so yes i would be willing to attend with you. She stated to him and seemed a little uneasy about this but agreed non the less. He smiled and nodded before saying I apologize, its a yearly thing that the nobles and lords of the land really love. It keeps everyone happy, though if I don't have you at my side those ladies will be clawing at me. I suppose it is best to get more allies quickly before war happens, this might be the last one for a while.. She stated before closing her eyes for a moment. I will be there do not worry... just do not stare too much or people might get the wrong idea. She added before looking into his eyes with her own two coloured ones. I don't want these nobles to think i am your mistress that you dressed up. I know you wouldn't ever think of that, but peoples's minds work in funny ways. Regulus chuckled at her response before saying Well don't worry I will just say your a Queen from a foriegn land and my new ally. So I am just being a gentlemen, just relax... though I cannot promise I won't stare especially if your wearing something beautiful. Forgive me for that. She sighed before closing her eyes. Alright i will keep that in mind. She told him before walking passed him and left her things out there, though they shimmered as an illusion was set about them. Is there anything else King Regulus? He smiled then replied to her comment saying No nothing else right now, though why cast illusions? I don't feel like dealing with those knights of yours again. I don't want someone to walk upon my work. She muttered and then the set vanished as if it were never there, though he could probably sense there was a far more powerful enchantment there. It was like the closer you wanted to move to that spot, the stronger the urge to not even bother to go there happened.
