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

Nadia eyes narrowed when Persephone lowered her gaze to the bow but didn't bring it to bare she pondered as to why but wasn't long before she knew why. The princess didn't know how to use it. She had to fight not to laugh out loud but managed to keep it at a smile for not everyone learns how to protect themselves. Not when they have a whole keep of warrior to do the protecting for them. She instantly forgot about the bow when Persephone lowered her head and answered her moments ago question about why she left the life of riches. The answer she got made her take a mental step back. What? She couldn't believe she heard the princess right for she swore she heard the word sold.. She wasn't a slave how in the hell can a princess be sold? She let the question go when she noticed Persephone took a greater grip of the arrow with her fingers and rose her gaze upward. Nadia hands came up with a take it easy gesture. I beg to differ with you M'lady. Just because you leave that keep of yours doesn't strip your royal blood away. You still will fetch a hefty purse to the one that brings you back. That will always be upon your head. Nadia shaking her head for here she was chatting with her one shot to have a better life and what is she doing? talking instead of tying up. When Persephone pointed to the door and told her to leave, there was a moment of sorrow. She never really had any friends or bud's of her age that she was able to talk with on an equal level. But here and now she was rather enjoying the talk. Look, I can help you and Galron. I can give you an extra set of eyes to watch the horizon for any trouble. What the hell was she doing? Nadia smirked for a moment but didn't change her wording. Besides she did find Persephone very attractive...

Persephone frowned slightly. Nadia was right about that. Even though she says she isn't a princess it doesn't change the fact that she actually is one and she will still be hunted and chased around as long as she is out here. The thought was very depressing for her. The whole day has been nothing but a dark cloud over Persephones head. She just wanted to have a nice, peaceful life. One where she could make her own decisions and marry someone she actually loves. Life was so much easier when she was younger. As long as she had the necklace in and someone watching her she could prance around the castle all she wanted. She could eat anything she desired and she used to demand that Galron be her husband. She didn't give him much of a choice back. She threatened to throw him in a dungeon if he didn't marry her. It was funny back then but now looking back at it it seemed pretty messed up. She was pretty demanding when she was younger. Persephone was shocked with the sudden offer for help. Age didn't know if she was sincere or just lying again. You are willing to help us? Persephone asked with a skeptical look. How do I know you are not lying? She asked, her light colored eyes narrowing at Nadia. She had shot Galron twice. It isn't a vug shock that she did not trust her. How do I know you aren't just going to kill my friend and take me back to the castle? Why do you even want to help me? It was probably unwise to ask so many questions when she was offering her help but Persephone to back sure she wouldn't betray them.

Nadia slightly tilted her head and looked upon Persephone with a puzzled look upon her face. It seemed like Nadia said something that made Persephone to travel somewhere else but here. She smiled for that gave her time to gaze upon Persephone without getting her angry for the gawking. She has always admired this Princess ever since she could remember. She always looked at her when the royal family came out on the balcony to address the people of the town. She was always beautiful on those sunny days, her hair would be gleaming giving hope to all those whom looked upon her. That is why Nadia is here, she wasnt here for gold, wealth or anything except to rescue her for she thought she had been kidnapped by her only royal guard, for war changes people and she thought that maybe this Knight lost his way, but in the woods she seen that he was protecting her, that is why she changed her arrow from the poisonous one. Nadia looked at Persephone with a uncertain face. Love, I dont know. She looked down to the floor and tried to think of something but nothing came about. She could only tell her what her real reason for being here was. That would be better than nothing. So.. She sighed lightly and rose her head up so she could look into those gorgeous eyes. I have always admired you. Ever since I seen you on the balcony of the new winters festival announcements giving by your father. You seemed to glow in the sunlight and ever since that day I have loved you from afar. When I heard that you were taken, I thought your royal knight lost his way and I came to rescue you, however, in the woods I seen he was protecting you all this time so I changed my arrow from the deadly poison to the weakening juice ones. I only have two of them and your knight is a big man so I knew one wouldnt drop him so I shot him twice. Yes Love the arrow you have is the deadly poisoned one. She stands up and kneels down, raises her wrist up to Persephone. If you have any doubt of what I say, strike me dead with that arrow. If you believe me ask me to rise. She kept her head bowed down..

Persephone didn't exapect the sudden confession. She was trying to help her all along? She was surprised and now also felt horribly guilty. Dear God she threatened her with her own bow and she was just trying to save her. She felt horrible, even more when she admitted to admiring her, even loving her, though she didn't think of it as a romantic way being the slight airhead that she was. Persephone had no idea that she could actually inspire people. She never thought of herself as someone to looked up to. I mean, she ran away from her own kingdom. That surely wasn't admirable. Persephone took a step back when Nadia had suddenly bowed, telling Persephone to kill her if she did not trust her words. N-No no no no! Persephone quickly placed the arrow carefully into the quiver and set it along with the bow onto the floor. She went over to Nadia and gently grabbed her hand, pulling her back up to her feet. There is no need to say or do things like that. I believe you. She said with a warm smile. Persephone knew she would never be able to lay a harmful hand onto this girl or to anyone for that matter. She couldn't take someone else's life. She wouldn't be able to take it. What you did was very brave Nadia and I really appreciate what you did. Even if it was a slight misunderstanding. She said with a small laugh. I wish you would have said something earlier though. We could have avoided all the awkwardness. Persephone said letting her hands fall back to her side. I think it is important that we tell Galron right away. He might try to attack you if you are still unbound. She admitted. Truth be told Persephone had forgotten all about Galrons situation during the moments she was having with Nadia. Shoot! He wanted her to being him some water and help him with something. I'll be right back. Please just sit tight. Persephone quickly filled a silver mug with water. There is tea just right there, feel free to have any. Persephone said pointing to the tea she had initially made for her and Galron sitting on a small wooden table. She quickly walked into the backrrom where Galton had vanished off to. Galron? Are you alright? She asked with concern.

Persephone frowned and sighed deeply. He is fine. Just sleeping. She mumbled with a small frown. Here she was worrying about the big oaf and he was fast asleep. She was tempted to splash the mug of water onto his ad wake him but she would let him rest. He well deserved it. Persephone set the mug down on a nearby stool and went to the side of the bed, picking up the bloody arrows that were so carelessly tossed onto the the floor. He could stepped on them he awoke. She looked back at Nadia and gestures to the arrows I suppose you could just wash these. She said looking back over to Galron sleeping body. She felt slightly bad for not coming in and helping him remove the arrows, eben though she didn't gave a single clue on how to, but still, she could always had tried. We should leave him be for now. Persephone said before a deep grumble erupted from her stomach. She pursed her lips and blushed slightly. Excuse me. She said politely. She was famished but she didn't want to wake Galron to go get food. That would be just plain rude. Persephone stepped out of the back room and back to where they were before. So Nadia, Persephone started as she tossed the bloody bows into a discarded wooden bucket. Are you an archer? How did you learn how to shoot? Persephone asked curiously. She wanted to know a bit more about Nadia since she would be joining them from now on.
Thread: Coywolf: New coyote-wolf hybrid sees explosion in numbers

'It's an amazing contemporary evolution story thats happening right underneath our nose' See more In one of the great success stories of interspecies animal breeding, the coyote-wolf hybrid coywolf can now count its numbers in the millions. This new animal, which has emerged in the eastern part of North America over the last century or so, is better than both its predecessors. At 25kg, its twice the size of a coyote it has larger jaws and bigger muscles meaning it can take down deer its equally adept at hunting in forests and open terrain. Its also got some dog in it, about a tenth. With 25 per cent wolf DNA, coyote is the dominant species, according to research by Javier Monzn from Stony Brook University in New York. That dog DNA means it can get along with people better than either a wolf or coyote, and consequently it can increasingly be seen in urban environments. Whats extraordinary about this isnt that it came into existence - the changing landscape of the United States forced canines to broaden their mating horizons - but that it has multiplied so rapidly. Dr Roland Kays of North Carolina State University told The Economist its numbers are now in the millions. The creation, which is also called the eastern coyote, can go nearly anywhere. And its expanding its territory. So smart is the coywolf that is even looks both ways before crossing the road. Dr Kays is blown away by this amazing contemporary evolution story thats happening right underneath our nose. Some dispute whether the coywolf is genetically different enough to be considered its own species but Jonathan Way from the National Park Service says that theres enough morphological and genetic divergence that it should be placed in a class of its own. But there is the rule of species that it doesn't breed with outsiders, and the coywolf continues to mate with dogs and wolves. Perhaps theyre not so different after all. Click to expand...
Thread: Braavos

It is a time of strife and violence in the Seven Kingdoms. It has been half a year since the death of Robert Baratheon and five kings have arisen to vie for the Iron Throne. With the kingdoms torn asunder there is ample opportunity for those who seek to advance themselves... - - - - - - Braavos, known as Braavos of the Hundred Isles, is the greatest and most powerful of the Free Cities, located in a lagoon on the northwestern end of Essos, where the narrow sea and the Shivering Sea meet. The nearby mainland is mostly marshland, whilst the seaward sides of the city are protected by tall, mountainous islands which form a semi-circle around the city. Firewood is brought in by barge, while pines on the islands surrounding the city are left to act as windbreaks to protect the harbors, and are illegal to cut down. There is only one channel large and deep enough to accommodate ocean-going ships. This channel is defended by a massive statue called the Titan of Braavos, which serves as landmark, lighthouse and defensive fortification. Just beyond the Titan lies the citadel and the vast shipyard called the Arsenal. The city proper lies beyond, a great sprawl of domes and towers and bridges in hues of grey, gold, and red. Braavos is served by two main harbors. The Purple Harbor, in the north, is used by locals only, while the Ragman's Harbor in the west is where foreign ships are moored. All ships have to submit to inspection by the Sealord's customs officers at the Chequy Port. Scattered throughout the city are small wharves and landings for the fishermen and ferries. The ruler of Braavos is known as the Sealord and it is from the sea that the citys power and wealth flows. The city is sometimes called the Bastard Son of Valyria. All gods are honored in Braavos. Most of the temples are located on the isle in the center of the city, known as the 'Isle of the Gods'. Among them is the Temple of the Moonsingers who led the original Braavosi refugees to the islands. Another temple of note is the temple to the Father of Waters which is rebuilt whenever he takes a new bride, as well as temples to the Many-Faced God and R'hllor, and a sept for the Seven named the Sept-Beyond-the-Sea. The Iron Bank of Braavos is the main bank of Braavos. It is very wealthy and often lends money to outsiders, among its clients is the King of the Seven Kingdoms. The Iron Bank was founded by twenty three Braavosi sixteen men and seven women, each of whom owned a key to the bank's great subterranean vaults. Their descendants, now numbering more than one thousand, are known as keyholders and proudly display their keys on formal occasions, though these keys are entirely ceremonial. Certain of these founding families have declined, with some losing their wealth entirely, yet all of them they cling to their keys and the honors that go along with them.
Thread: Braavos

Months prior... Braavos, the financial capital of Westeros it's sometimes referred to in passing. What business could bring the Lord of Spices all the way to Essos's northernmost territory? Other than being a hub for virtually all kinds of trade, it was a good place to overhear things, he found. As well as the Braavosi paid, information was an invaluable asset for any likely tradesman. All one had to do was find the nearest pleasure house and bunker down for an interesting conversation, and that's something he'd find himself doing wherever he could. Though the sight of the unusually heighty dark man wasn't something he could easily obscure. Braavos was a bit different than say King's Landing. A Summer Islander wasn't such a rarity. It was a free city founded by and comprised of slaves from west of the shadow lands to free folk of the North. Sergio was vested in long azure robe of sorts, head to toe, underneath he wore a full leather set, iron bracers and greaves, at his sides were two curved swords, Arakh to be exact. A single piece of gold jewelry adorned Sergio's neck. It resembled two whole pieces. It's form and luster leaving little doubt that its craftsmanship originated in Mereen. His overall appearance would seem to suggest his background as both a merchant and free-ranged skirmisher. The man was quite traveled indeed. There was some casual murmurs of the iron throne. Nothing particularly insightful, until the topic of King Robert's passing was mentioned and its implications for the other realms. Something that engaged him. He hadn't considered the possibility of another throne war so soon, though it hadn't surprised him in the least either. Westerosi were always a waring sort. His thoughts were of the Targaryens. Were the rumors of surviving heirs true?

Since you left the eastern elven forests you have seen no other elven city, the cities you have have sailed through these years have all been human though with varied races populating them over human territory where this ship sails trading and delivering cargo. It has become obvious too that you will reach no great adventure as in the tales that always fascinated you in your youth and this is also slow to give you profit as all you see in your pouch are ten gold pieces, but all that seemed soon to change as the letter given to you to deliver in the next city, Dolphea, has it poor seal breaking accidentally. You remember now how it was given to you in a hurry a couple of days ago by an armored human with a large backpack asking that you delivered it to a dwarf mysteriously known only as the One-Eyed who runs a tavern there. He was to pay you five silvers upon receiving it but thats all that was told to you, it didn't seemed to be much of an important task until you have your eyes on what it says. The letter is short and it only states the Earl of Estria had his daughter kidnapped recently and is now offering a hundred gold pieces and even most important, a magic item to whoever brings her back to him safe and sound. You can easily find out in the ship that Estria is an elven city located approximately 3 days away to the north from either Dolphea or the previous city where the letter was given to you. The ship will be arriving in a few minutes and the whole crew gets ready to dock as you are already able to see the port, you can remember being here before but never going too deep within the streets of the hectic city which is also the largest human city you've been so far.

I lean on the railing watching the limitless ocean as I ponder how to proceed. The sea has been my home for the last years, and I have grown fond of it even if it did not provide that grand adventure I had hoped for. In its infiniteness it is similar to the large eastern forest, and so different at the same time. The lands I had visited were varied and exotic, colorful and alien. In those few years I have seen more than many a reclusive elf will in her whole life. I do not regret my decision at all. Now though, the letter. Delivering it is no question, I have made that deal. Not that I am such a sucker for authority or rules, but keeping my word if feasible is one of my own rules, and I better stick to these at least. What comes after that, though ... Going after the Earl's daughter mightbe just the opening I have been looking for. Only, I have no lead at all to follow. Which leaves me with exactly two options as I see it Either that One-Eyed one will provide some cue or incentive, or, barring that, I will have to travel up to Estria and ask around. I will give it a try. I have already spoken with the captain, told him aboutmy departure. We had gotten along rather well after his initial mistrust, that first tavern brawl we were forced in together being the turning point in our relationship. So the mood is a bit solemn, we might not see each other ever again. Turning around I watch the approaching coastline, the sprawling mass of the chaotic streets and buildings that make up Dolphea. Somewhere in there is the tavern I am looking for, here's to hoping I will find it quickly.

The captain is a bit down with the news of your departure, it is not easy to find a woman who likes the seas as much as you. He lets you go with no more words than an offer to welcome you back to his crew should you cross paths again in the future. As a final token of his appreciation he takes out a bottle of fine wine from his private stash and a couple of glasses to cheer with you one last time while you wait for the ship to dock. Once the anchor is down you will be free to go and leave behind the ship as well as any friends you may have had in there while the rest of the sailors will be busy doing their labors. The port is hectic as usual and it might take a while to find out something about this One-Eyed you know so few about.

I feel a momentary lump in my throat as I cross the plank leading off the ship, but once I take steps away from the mole that sensation gradually passed. I had a good time travelling the seas, but that chapter of my life is over for now. Who knows, my future might lead me back to riding the waves ... The imediate order of busines is to find that One-Eyed one. The way the man who had given me the letter sounded that one-eyed individual must be at least somewhat known here in town, and so the natural course of action is to just ask the passerbys in a friendly manner.

The street are a mess as always but you are used to it and it is somewhat safe though nobody seems to know this One-Eyed you are looking for. It is only after a long while, approximately an hour looking for a clue, that you finally find someone who knows about him. A half elven fisherman selling his morning fishing finally hints you in the right direction The One-Eyed?, yes lady I do have heard of him, he runs a Tavern in the slums, I haven't gone there myself but I can't tell you it is not a safe place for a lonely woman like you... Ok,ok if you insist I can tell you how to reach there... The directions he gives are easy to follow, however as he speaks you manage to spot three men that trying to pass unnoticed have been following you from a distance for a while.

Hmm, that is weird. Mostly because I cannot think of a good reason why these three would be shadowing me. I am new in town, after all, and have not even had any opportunity to step one someone's toes yet. Is it because of my asking around for this one-eyed fellow? I doubt they are following me secretly across the city just because of my tits and arse, especialy sinec the pants and shirt I am wearing right now are not that revealing ... Either way, I should deal with them first before heading into the slums. For which I see two options. Either I try to elude them, using my stealth capabilities to make them lose my trail, or I confront them about it. The latter has the advantage of learning about their motives, but the downside that things might escalate into a fight agaist three unknown opponents. Am I already good enough for that? It is my curiosity that breaks the tie. I just want to know why they are after me, and so I am - foolhardishly? - going to take that risk. Like before I traverse the streets of the city, not heading for the slums just yet. What I am looking for is a side alley to lead them into, where I could hide behind a crate or whatever visual obstruction might be present untill they pass by me, so they will no longer be able to evade the impending conversation.
