Thread: The Princess's Keeper - Closed{Sophie Jones X Elvenoff}

Galron listened to her grumbles with a light heart. He had his reasons for doing everything he told her. The dagger hitting the tree was to build up her wrists, to strengthen her fingers which would increase her grip. Later he would move her up to a short sword, than a longsword. He wanted her to pick up logs and carry them to help strengthen her upper body, her arms, shoulders so that she may get used to carrying equipment or armor. He was doing all of this to train her and get her ready for the day that he wouldnt be able or around the help her anymore. Even taking the reins of the horse was to train her to respect her mount. For Ellie, his warhorse has pulled him from the field to aid, she has pushed herself to the brink of death like this very evening to do just what was asked of her. He didnt want to tell her that all he has done was getting her ready for he was no longer able to protect her. But.. He turned and looked at her with heavy eyes. Persephone. he took a deep breath while looking at her. She was so young and innocent, not to mention a little arrogant. He blames himself for her being that way, but at the time it was a playful moments when she was young. The playing around arguing, The Standish up against your enemy was all play, but now it was the real thing where death was the end result instead of finding something else to do for the day. How could he tell her that this could be his last quest, for he surely will give his life before anyone gets to her and he had that feeling that this was it. The King had many men of talent and getting his daughter back would be on top of his list along with getting a peaceful end to this war. So, yes it was his last quest. His orbs looked deep into her eyes and at the moment they were filled with a little worry, a little fear that this was her fault. She wasnt stupid, nor nave, she was young and vibrant. Stand offish, and arrogant, but level headed and the one thing that scared all, even him was her power that for some reason she wasnt able to grasp yet. But then again His mind exploded for he never thought of this till now, But if he could think of it why didnt her parents. Maybe this power of hers wasnt able to be controlled. Then when she went to the other Kingdom, whomever had their way with her could have removed that control necklace and kill all the nobles of their enemies which would give them their lands, their peace and get their daughter back. He pondered this but it didnt feel right, but the idea of seeking out a Sage to either help Persephone control this power or find away to rid her of it. Well the last part, getting rid of the power would be her decision. He didnt answer her question of what the plan was for he didnt really know yet. He had to do some looking into things, However, He couldnt wait to show her what he has been building out here for sometime now. He hoped she would like it. Well she was going to stay there regardless if she liked it or not. He muttered to himself. He took a path into the heavier foliage. The walk was a difficult one even for him, but it wasnt long before they entered into a clearing and seen this I hope you like this. We will be staying here till things calm down a little. He smiled for he worked hard building this over the years...
