Thread: The General and the Warrior Princess (Starlet and Vladimir)

Vanya was vaguely aware of another presence, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her body was too exhausted to even open her eyes, much less move. She assumed it was one of the servants that found her and carried her to her room. She anticipated that her father would arrive shortly and know what to do to help her. As the servant laid her upon her bed, it was as if her body completely relaxed and her mind finally rested. She wasnt sure how long she had been sleeping. All she did know was that awareness was slowly overcoming her. She didnt move, but her mind was awakening to the sounds of the wind flowing through a window and the creak of weight upon a chair. She knew it had to be her father. He obviously came and gave her something to regain her energies. Vanya took a deep breath of fresh air, letting it out slowly. Her hands slowly glided across the silk bedspread, then coming up and resting hands just beneath the pillow. A small sigh escaped her lips as her head slightly moved to the other side of her neck. It seemed like a lifetime had passed before her eyes began to flutter in an attempt to open and look upon her familiar surroundings. Her right hand made its way to her head, the back of her hand making its final resting place on her forehead as her eyes tried to focus. And, even though the sun was still in the west, she could tell there was something different about her room. The colors were all wrong. Where were her white satin draperies? Blinking hard, she could see the red bedding from the corner of her eye. She frowned wondering just how long had she been out?! Letting her hand fall to her stomach, she looked to the opposite side of the room and realized that she had never been in this room before. It was difficult, but she found it in herself to rise up onto bent elbows and look around the room. Where is this place? she asked herself. Suddenly, she saw someone in the room. A man, sitting in a chair looking at her with some impatience. Blinking a couple of times, she narrowed her eyes to see more clearly, when suddenly she realized who it was. Oh my g. She did not finish her sentence, as she rolled to her side and struggled to get up off the bed she now realized was his. What am I doing here?! she asked breathlessly. She remembered she was headed for the gardens, but that didnt explain this!

For awhile Argath sat there and just looked at Vanya as she lay in his bed, passed out he assumed as she didn't react to the wet cloth that he had placed upon her forehead, and for awhile that's all that happened. A few times he contemplated going to seek out her father or try to find a servant or other inhabitant of the castle to see if they knew something that would help the fallen woman, but each time he turned down the idea and would wait to see if she worsened. For all he knew she was just merely asleep in his bed now. He had almost nodded off to sleep sitting there watching her sleep that when she asked where is this place he thought that it might have been his imagination at first, until the same voice said oh my, and it was then that he realized that it wasn't a dream and looked up to see that Vanya had finally awoken. Instinctively he rose and placed his arms on her shoulders to keep her from getting up off the bed, letting action take over rather than thought at this point as he looked down at her. Relax yourself, you're not in danger. I was in the garden when I happened upon your fallen body. Not sure what to do, I did what I thought was best and brought you to the only room I knew, my own guest chambers. I wasn't sure how ill you were so I stayed with you in case you would awake, though if you hadn't soon I was going to try and find your father. he explained, standing up then and looking down at the woman and realizing then that he had touched her, but hid the slightly disgusted look from her as he waited to see what she would say to him.

Argath arched an eyebrow as he watched Vanya lay down on his bed and then announce that her father was coming, as if she would know something like that, but then soon enough he did appear next to the bed and then thanked him for helping his daughter. Argath could only shake his head. She isn't one of my kind, but we are not on the field of battle and so I did what anyone with a heart would do. he said, playing it off nonchalantly and to him it truly was. He then merely listened to the Elves exchange a few words between each others before saying that Vanya was going to be his guide to learning about her people. This again surprised him slightly and he could only shake his head. Good sir, your daughter no doubt has better things to do than showin.... but he was cut off then as they both soon disappeared from his room to leave him alone with his thoughts for the time being until one of them or a servant would come and retrieve him for the evening meal or some other event that would no doubt concern him. In the meantime though he stood up from his chair and moved over to the balcony doors and flung them open to look out to the distant mountains and he couldn't help but wonder how his men were fairing since they were put into the deep slumber. He would have to make sure that the next time he met with Vanya and Zelphar if there was perhaps some way he could speak with his generals, if even distant. At first the soldiers of Khyador were weary of the offer that was put forth before them, free food, drinks and a area for them to train so as not to get rusty? It sounded too good to be true to them that at first they kept their distance from the Elves and didn't even attempt to harm them after what happened with Kisimir trying to strike one only to be thrown away like he was nothing more than a ragdoll. It was only a matter of time though when the aroma of freshly cooked food and the thought of drinking enticed a few of the soldiers who drew near. They didn't listen to their comrades who warned that some of the food may be poisoned, but once again the scent was so enticing enough that they attempted to try it despite the possibility that they could die, but after a few minutes from when they first began to eat and nothing happened more began to join in until all but Kisimir was the only one who stayed away from the Elves, still bitter from what happened last time. The man looked over at the men that he was helping Argath lead, a scowl on his face at how easy they were in giving in to the hospitality of a foreign country that had just taken their leader. He was going to have to do something to break whatever the enchantment was the protected the Elves that now served his men and whatever it was that was guarding their kingdom...something that Argath himself should have been doing, but now it looked like it would be up to him to show that he was better than their so called illustrious leader.

After her mother had fussed over her significantly enough to feel her daughter was fine, Vanya was finally left to herself. She was still upset at the thought that her father would volunteer her services to their guest without at least consulting whether she wanted to or not. All this was new to Vanya, nothing like this had ever happened in all her years, and she didn't like it very much. But the respect for her father and his wisdom was the only thing that kept her from demanding to be released from such a torment of spending a day with Argath. But to top it all off, she had to get dressed in her finest clothes to welcome him to dinner. Such a bother! She always dressed well for family gatherings, why was her father making such a fuss over this man that wants nothing more than to kill them all? Reluctantly, she walked over to her closet and opened the doors. As if on cue, her dressers arrived to prepare her for the evening. She glanced over at them and merely sighed. This was going to be a very long night. -------------------------------- Outside Argath's door, an elf was knocking on his door. When the door opened, he bowed and said, Your presence is required in the main dining hall. I shall return to guide you to the great hall within the hour, will you be requiring our services to dress? The elf waited patiently for Argath's wishes.
Thread: The General and the Warrior Princess (Starlet and Vladimir)

The knocking at his door drew Argath's attention and he looked back from the scenery before him to see that an Elven servant had entered his room and announced that he was going to be needed in the Great Hall in an hour. I shalln't need any help. My attire is simple and can be donned with only my hands alone. I shall be there to see what they wish of me. he said, dismissing the servant then and looked about the room. He had a feeling that the room was designed specifically for him and if he searched the armories then he would find clothes just for him. With an hour to kill and not quite sure what to do, Argath quickly turned to the Elf before he left. I do, however, require a bath be brought up to my chambers..if that isn't too much to ask for. he said to which the servant bowed. As you wish my lord....and I shall assume that you do not require assistance in washing yourself. and with that the servant bowed out and left Argath alone for several moments until he returned, opening and holding open the door for another pair of servants to bring in a porcelain tub. They carried it in and placed it off to the far side of the room, leaving as more servants began to make a train, each carrying a bucket of steaming water that they would dump into the tub and then leave. It took about roughly twenty servants each with a bucket filled almost to the brim with hot water, but eventually they filled it up and then left him with a few towels and oils and then left him alone once more. Alone once more, Argath quickly stripped himself of his garment and carefully inserted himself into the tub so as not to splash any of the water onto the floor and then for a few moments he just sat there and enjoyed feeling the hot water on his skin. He wouldn't waste much time though, as he quickly set about to getting himself as cleaned up as he could using the scented oils provided for him. He was skeptical of them as, once again he was suspicious that the Elves would do some sort of foul play, but eventually he tried an oil that scented of Jasmine, finding that he rather enjoyed the scent on him as he washed his skin of any dirt that he could find, sometimes even rubbing his skin until it turned an angry red. Finally though, after however long he had been in the tub, he felt that it was time for him to get out as he took a towel nearby off the floor and laid it down so as not to get the floor too wet before climbing out and taking another to dry himself off, using the same towel then to dry himself off and headed over to one of the armoire and he wasn't surprised when he saw that there was indeed clothes provided for him. He took out some of the clothes provided for him, putting on a bright blue silk shirt with a golden border and the symbol of Khyador shone proudly on the front, a pair of doublets in the same color, only striped and alternating between the colors, and finally a cape...which was slightly lost onto him as to why he would need a cape for a meeting in the first place, but he wasn't about to go against his hosts just yet until an attempt was made on his life.

Argath couldn't help but look at himself in the mirror and gaze at his visage. He would admit wasn't quite what he himself would have chosen to wear, preferring to wear his dress armor rather than what he was wearing now, but it had a certain flair to it that appealed to him and for the sake of his hosts he would wear what they provided him for now until his final departure to wage wage war with them once more. He doubted that there would be anything they could do to change his mind on the subject, so loyal was he to those who raise him, that he was willing to humor his hosts for now and go along with anything they had planned up until either his departure or someone tried to kill him. It was then that a knock came to his door and after bidding whoever was there to come in did a human servant appear through the doors. This gave Argath a bit of a shock as he had thought that Zelphar had merely been jesting when he said that he would have a human servant sent to Argath, but now there was one before him. Humans, in Argath's opinion, were not to be the servants of a minor race when they were superior race...a fact that he had proven time and again against each magical race he was made to fight against. I am here to escort you to the Great Hall where you will met my lords and ladies and then dine with them. the human servant explained. Argath didn't say much as he approached the human and nodded his head. Right this way then sir. It would be only a matter of a few minutes before Argath was soon following the servant down a flight of stairs that curved slightly into the Great hall. No words were exchanged along the way, for Argath felt that should he try to reveal anything to the servant then he would go to his superiors and relay the information to them and getting him into a bit of a bind. Going down the stairs slowly he was greeted by a sight that was a bit of a surprise to him, for while he recognized both Vanya and her father, the other woman he assumed was her mother due to their likeliness, but the loveliness of the women that he saw standing there made those of the royal family pale in comparison. He wiped the shocked look of his face though and quickly made it appear that he was not the least impressed and approached them all with a bow. I am here as you've requested. he said and remained bowed as he waited for permission to rise.

Vanya and Zelphar knew Argath approached before he entered the room. They turned towards the door awaiting his entrance. The Queen, taking their cue, turned as well and the look of surprise on the warrior's face was expected. To see a human who would willingly mate with an elf must have shocked him. She was sure he had questions, but she did not have the gifts of her beloved or daughter, so she assumed, after seeing his face change quickly, that no questions would be passed across the table between them. Zelphar greeted Argath with, Welcome, Argath. May I introduce my wife, Queen Dafina, and of course you've already had the pleasure of meeting my daughter. The Queen step forward and cursied to Argath. You are most welcome to our home, Sir Argath. And I want to express my most humble thankfulness for your assistance to my daughter. I will be forever in your debt. She bowed her head and turned towards her husband. Perhaps we could find a way to express our gratitude in a more appropriate way, my King. Her smile, the sound of her voice, was so like Vanya, it was clear Vanya had inherited much of her mother's beauty. Zelphar smiled at his wife and agreed. Yes, yes my dear, I think you are right, we shall find a way to express our gratitude in some way. Vanya then curtsied as her mother finished. It is an honor to see you again, Sir Argath. I pray you will enjoy the meal that has been prepared for you in your honor. Like her father, Vanya knew what Argath had thought about her mother. His very aura changed upon seeing her. It rather bothered her that this man would dishonor her with his thoughts, but then, of course, he was human and had no idea they could read him so well. Also, her father rather relished the admiration of his wife. It happened more often that Vanya cared for. Her mother was beautiful, and sophisticated. All the things she was not. But she had never felt more inadequate beside her as she did at that moment. Why it should bother her, she wasn't aware and she didn't like it. But Vanya was coming into her own true womanhood, and there were many things she did not completely understand about her unusual feelings. So, she simply pushed such feelings away. Zephar motioned towards the right, Shall we make our way towards the dining room?, he asked as he took his wife's arm and led the way. Vanya stood there waiting for Argath to take her arm which was the proper thing to do when a lady was in the room without an escort. Her eyes simply looked at his as she calmly waited to see how barbarians behaved at such functions.

Argath turned to look at the queen and gave her a bow in turn after her husband. Thanks for assisting your daughter isn't need, for I'm sure if one of my own men were found by one of your people they would extend to him the same generosity as I did for her. he said, meaning their daughter Vanya. He couldn't truly accept a gift from them for to do so would mean that he was softening up to their side, as well as giving his men the wrong idea as to where his allegiance lay. Standing up from the bow then only to bow once more to Vanya. The pleasure is mine for knowing an enchanting being such as yourself young Vanya, he said as he came back up from the bow and gave her a slight smile, though he hoped it didn't hint at something that it didn't mean, and I'm sure that the meal shall be as excellent as your family is regal. His gaze following her father who led the way with his wife on his arm, that left Argath alone with Vanya who no doubt expected him to do the same for her. It was going to be the second time he was going to have to touch the Elf, but he swallowed his pride for the evening and offered her his arm. Come, it is improper for a lady of your stature to be unescorted to a meal, even if its with family and one guest. he said and when she eventually did take his arm did he follow her parents into the dining room and brought Vanya to her chair, pulling it out and awaiting for her to take it before heading to his own established place at the table.

Vanya was surprised by how eloquent Argath was. Obviously he had been trained as a gentleman, but it was hard for her to balance the two sides of him. But when he offered his arm, she lightly took it, walking into the dining room and sitting down upon the pulled out chair. Yes, he knew his way around a proper table. As he walked around to the opposite side and took his own seat, she couldn't help but scrutinize him. His dress was impressive on him, his clothing chosen carefully and the tailors fit was impeccable. It was easy to see his muscular build and cleaned up, he actually had a rugged good looks. Zalphar and Dafina glanced at each other as they both realized their daughter was staring at their guest. As if knowing to take the lead, Dafina addressed her daughter to divert her eyes. Vanya, tell us what plans you have for Argath's tour tomorrow. I'm sure he would like an idea of what to expect., she smiled sweetly. The trick worked as Vanya tore her eyes away from the man across from her and looked at her mother. At that very moment, the servants were bustling about the table filling goblets with wine and plates with the delicious meal of meats, warm breads and local vegetables. I thought perhaps the General would like to see our farmlands, since every army needs to eat. And then perhaps our forges, armories, and lastly, the dungeons of the castle where I'm sure he will want to torture our people for information regarding our treasures. She spoke with the sweetest voice as she spilled out her plans. There was just something irritating about the General. Everyone seemed to be walking tip-toed around him, as if they didn't know what his plans were once this charade was over. She turned and smiled sweetly at the General, I think that would be of the most interest to our distinguished guest. Zalphar and Dafina were silent for the longest time. That was the last thing they had expected her to say. Of course, they should have known something like that would happen. Vanya had always been an honest, precocious child. It hadn't really left her as an adult, but they had never see her so agitated by a guest either. Finally Zalphar spoke, Well, I'm sure you are in for a very....lively tour tomorrow, Argath., his voice its usual softness as he glanced at Argath, then his wife and nodded, to begin the feast, as he picked up his fork to eat. Dafina, with her usual grace, did the same and waited for her daughter to do the same with an impatient eye towards her. Vanya's eyes were still on the General. She knew what was going on in her father's head, she knew her mother wasn't quite pleased with her at the moment. But she also knew the disgust the man across from her felt every time he had to touch her. Before, in his room, it offended her, but at that moment, she was rather glad he was forced to do something so totally revolting to him. Slowly a slight smile appeared on her lips, as she picked up her fork without looking at it. She may have been a elf, but she was half human as well, with all that entailed inside her.

Argath could defiantly feel a pair of eyes staring at him as he tried to gaze around the dining room to see how it was decorated, but with the constant nag that he was being watched it made him feel a bit like he was being watched by an assassin who wished to do him harm. He knew it had to be Vanya but didn't dare to look to make her feel....well he wasn't sure what she would have felt, but still he didn't look until he heard the voice of her mother speak up, asking her daughter to tell him what he should expect from the tour. He stopped looking around then to look at the young woman and listened intently about the various bits about the tour. Each would give him some insight to their armies working such as the kind of weapons and armor they would bring to bear as well as any heavy weapons like Trebuchets or cannons, but at the mention of her thinking he would enjoy the dungeons he made a disgusted face. Dungeons are filthy places, he began while looking down at the food on his plate and playing with it a little with his fork. As well as locations of misery. I may bring war to places, but its not so that they are oppressed but made better with the promise of science. You would be surprised how much life is easier with technology working along side you. Though he was a bit leery about the food being possibly poisonous to a human as well as there being a chance that the cook might have poisoned his meal in specific, Argath eventually drew up the courage to try a bit of it by stabbing what he thought looked like chicken and took a bite out of it. He wasn't too far off, for indeed as soon as he tasted it he recognized it to be just what he thought it looked like and then looked up the Elves, wondering if maybe they just had a thing with making food appear much differently from what he was used to feasting upon, but slowly he began to eat more of his meal at a slow pace to see if he had any ill effects from eating.
