Thread: The Fickle Gods (DudeMeister and Malicious Lullaby only)

They left their home after her mother died recently. Because of her fathers work and noble status, it left them with quite a lot. She was the only child of Simeon Taren. Her mother died of a fever that turned into something far more infectious at the last minute, meaning there was no time for them to acquire the proper medication for her to heal her. So they left their home, left that part of their life behind but preserved her memory and vowing to lead a better life, a nobler life than before. They were journeying to Athens. It felt like a long journey but her father and her two tutors and governess, also accompanying them on the ride to their new home, kept her busy. She practiced her reading, sewing, music, anything really to boast in talent about and was honestly quite tired. As her father announced them approaching into the soon to be great city of Athens, Sapphire looked out the carriage window, long black flowy hair blowing in the wind as the carriage moved. Her body pushed further out to see and a bright beautiful smile played onto her face. She could see the city not too far. Father! Look! Its Athens! She cried out joyfully. Sapphire was a young beautiful girl, of age and back in her hometown, she was the one many men wanted to offer their hand to for marriage. But then her mother died and they left. Now they were coming to this city. They had an estate here in Athens already that belonged to her fathers parents and was left in his after they died. First order of business would be to find her suitors and she would get to choose who she wanted but unfortunately and ultimately, her father had the final choice. She had stunning blue eyes, hence why she was named Sapphire, like the blue jewel and a small nose, despite how many Greek women seemed to have the opposite. With long wavy jet black hair and olive skin, she had a slender frame and was dressed like a princess, clearly the daughter of a noble. Unfortunately, the carriage wheel hit over a deep pot hole in the dirt road which because it went at a fast enough pace, it completely dislodged the carriage. The movement caused Sapphire to be thrown from the carriage. Thankfully, the fall wasnt so bad but it was directly in the path of another, of an oncoming mule. She sprained her ankle in the process, having screamed when she was thrown out and she couldnt move. Father! She screamed.

As Alcaeus' cart came closer and closer to the incoming procession, he saw a sight he'd never forget. A beautiful young woman peered out of the side of the carriage. She was utterly breathtaking, having long flowing ebony locks, a slender figure, and a pair of clear blue eyes. He was visibly astounded by her appearance. Had Eros' arrow pierce him? His gawking was soon interrupted when the carriage bucked, it's wheel caught in a large hole in the road. He saw the woman fall out of and soon scream for help. He quickly stopped his mule and jumped out of his cart to help her. He rushed over to her and gently picked her up in his arms, moving her off to the side of the road so that she wouldn't be in the way of incoming traffic. M'lady, are you ok? he asked, gently letting her down on the soft grass Are you hurt? he continued I'd be happy to play her father if you'd like

Sure, if you like In a flash, Sapphire was hoisted up, picked up and taken off the road by someone. Only when she was set down on the grass did she look up at her hero and she seemed as if in a daze, her blue eyes glued to his eyes before his words registered in her head. She shook her head and then cleared her throat. I am now, thank you. She looked up at him again though, as if in wonder. You saved me. Thank you. She tried to move a little bit when she winced and a small whimper came from her. That was when she really learned just how sprained her right ankle was. It was already swelling up pretty badly and she sighed softly. My ankle, I think its sprained a little bit. Well that was just perfect. Now she wasnt in tip-top condition to actually be showed off for potential male suitors. Not that she was as focused on it as her father was she knew her place. She knew her duty.

Briefly taking the opportunity to admire her beauty up close, he almost found himself lost in her sapphire eyes as he heard her thank him. It's not a problem... he said, before hearing her whimper upon her attempt to move. He found himself unconsciously holding his hand out to stabilize her movement, as if she was a fine and fragile marble sculpture. He retracted his hand and gave her a nervous smile before gently moving down to inspect her right ankle. If you'd escuse me he said as politely as he could before inching her finely tailored dress just enough to inspect her ankle. It was beginning to swell already. Well...it's obviously sprained. I'll see if there's anything I can do to help. I'm no doctor, but I think I have some wood and cloth to splint your ankle up he said, slowly getting up to retrieve a few things from his cart His best intentions would go unnoticed and unrewarded however, for as he walked to his cart a few attendants rushed to her aid, as her furious father walked over to what he presumed to be an oaf. Simeon Taren was the short and stocky and indeed balding father of Sapphire. Although he lead a privileged life, he developed a boisterous and cantankerous personality. The fact that his wife recently died, his daughter was still unmarried, and that his daughter almost gotten ran over didn't help. You foolish oaf!!! Do you realize that you almost ran over my daughter?!?! he yelled at Alcaeus, who was dumbfounded as he broke a flat plank of wood for a splint support, and was in the process of ripping up his own cloak to tie it up. I'm sorry sir, but in my defense I was a little bit further down the road, and I did stop to move your daughter off of it. I'm doing the best I can he said, walking over to her as her attendants seemingly swarmed over her. Don't you dare go near her!!! Simeon yelled, but his exclamations fell on deaf ears as Alcaeus gestured to the attendants to part, which they did Try to hold still m'lady he said, lining up the wood to the side of her ankle and slowly began to tie it with the strips of cloth. Being a stonemason injuries were rather usual. Either someone hurts their shoulder, hammers their own finger, or takes a stumble, and it falls on someone to help bandage it up. It has happened to him, and he treated other people who injured themselves. As he finished tying the wood to her ankle he smiled softly and held out both hands to help her up Ok...take it easy he said

As his gaze bore into hers, her own gaze bore into his and she found herself even a bit transfixed by him. He was handsome, sweet and not like the men she met, or was forced to meet. The problem with all the well of suitors her father pawned on her was they were very boisterous in their wealth and status, seeming to be overflowing with pride even and she was immediately turned off by it. But this man who had helped her and saved her, he was so kind. It was a nice contrast. A very nice and welcome contrast. She bit down on her lower lip a little bit as he lifted the hem of her dress up a bit. He didnt raise it any further than just over her sprained ankle and she knew then he wouldnt harm her even though that was made clear considering he did just help her out of the road. But any doubts she might have had were easily and quickly squashed. Thank you. She spoke so softly as he stood to get whatever was needed to make the splint. Then she heard her father and she sighed softly, opening her mouth to try and get a word out but the man who saved her and was currently in the process of helping her, spoke back to her father in such a calm and well mannered way, hed give those rich suitors a run for their money. What a gentleman. Her attendantstutors swarmed her, pampering her, fluffing her hair, constantly asking if she was okay. Sapphire brushed them off as she was far more interested in the man helping her rather than her swollen ankle. She had such a disinterest, she didnt even feel the pain anymore even though it was most clearly there. Perhaps she was going delusional from the pain. That would certainly be how her father might see it too even. He came back near her and as he attended to her ankle, Sapphire hardly made any faces of pain. No, her blue eyes were on him, watching him, admiring him even. She had a faint trace of a smile on her face and then just like that, he was done. Just like that, it was done and Sapphire took his hands to stand up. A small whimper came from her but no one helped her. She was determined to get up with just his help. Once she was standing, one hand left his and she smoothed her dress down, putting her weight on her uninjured foot. She still held one of his hands as she looked up at him and smiled softly. Thank you. I am in your debt for this. She said softly. Glancing at his transportation and the direction it was going, away from the city, a small frown came over her face. Were you leaving the city?

Not paying attention to any of the attendants, he gently brought her up and helped support her weight as she hopped over to the carriage. It was in these instances that he had the opportunity to admire her up close. He soft black hair grazed against his arm, her blue eyes were mesmerizing, and her body was graceful and elegant. He had seen sculptures crafted by the greatest masters of the day that couldn't hold a candle to her. As he was sort of lost in her, he barely seemed to pay attention to her as she thanked asked him were he was going. It's not a problem m'lady...I'm glad I can help he said, helping her into the carriage, not paying attention Simeon throwing a fit Well, I was leaving the city to bring back marble from the quarry to bring back to the workshop. I'm a stonemason you see... he said, feeling self-conscious about revealing his workman's trade to a nobleman's daughter

Sitting down in the carriage, she leaned over to still be in a bit of close distance with him, enough that she still had her hand in his. She didnt want to let go. And even as he spoke of his profession, she didnt even flinch or blink an eyelash. As if she didnt care, because she didnt. Why would it matter otherwise? So thenyoull be coming back? She asked with a soft smile. With her free hand, she untied a little satchel bag that was tied around a loop in her dress and she handed it to him. It wasnt money. Justa memento, a token of her appreciation and something for him so he wouldnt forget her. Maybe give him want to seek her out, regardless of what her father might and most definitely would say. Will I see you again? I dont even know your name. She whispered.
Thread: The Fickle Gods (DudeMeister and Malicious Lullaby only)

He smiled and nodded. Well, yes I will be coming back he said, before accepting the small bag that she gave to him. He didn't know what it was, but accepted it graciously. She than asked him if she'd see him again, and asked for his name. My name is Alcaeus...but that name probably means nothing to a noble's daughter. As for wether or not you'll see me again, that depends. I work in the stonemason's workshop. It's not too far from the temple of Athena, it won't be to hard to find if you'd care to look for it he said If you'd excuse this lowly worker's question, might I ask your for your name? he asked her

Shed been so captured by him it seemed she didnt even seem to notice or question his low rank and status or the fact she was a noblemans daughter and this Alcaeus wasnt nobility at all. Yet he was more noble than any actual noble by title and status she had ever met. And that was the kind of nobility that mattered to her. It wasnt the kind of nobility that mattered to the majority. Sapphire wasnt of the majority. She wanted to love. Not be with someone for convenience. Her father on the other hand definitely wouldnt see it that way and what could she do? She was just a woman after all. Nothing but a pretty face that possessed numerous talents. So when he acted as though he was dismissing his own name to her, that knowing it would mean nothing to her, Sapphire didnt say anything. But she wished she wasnt the daughter of a nobleman. I think I can manage. She said softly. My mother used to say that if the hearts truly wants something, the heart will get what it wants. She offered a kind smile before she heard her snappy father. I must go. But keep this. She slid her hand out of his now to touch the little baggie she gave him. Think of me. She whispered. Scooting back into the carriage, the door was shut as the rest of the inhabitants got in. She didnt get to answer his final question as the carriage began to pull away. Sapphire looked at her father who was seething but thankful his precious daughter was alright. Her tutors and attendants began to chatter with her but in a haste reaction and decision, she pushed herself out the window again, like she had been earlier which led her to her sprained ankle. She turned back towards him and waved. Sapphire! She called out, a smile on her face as she watched him, as he became smaller and smaller the further away the carriage pulled. But Sapphire didnt once look away until she couldnt see him anymore. Only then did she let her father pull her back in, scold her. But she remained all smiles.

Before he could get her name, he heard the angry man who yelled at him snap at his daughter as he stepped into the carriage. Before he knew it she got back into the carriage and was soon riding away. Well...that was that...it wasn't as if he really expected to get her name anyway. He was just a man who swung a hammer around all day. She would be destined to be married off to a far richer man than he could ever be. As she rode off into the distance he smiled softly at her and waved goodbye... Sapphire!!! he heard in the distance. So that was her name. Content and happy that he at least got that, he looked down to the small purse that she gave him. What was in it? He slowly loosened the drawstring of the bag and poured it's contents into the palm of his hand What do you think you're doing talking to a lowly peasant!!! It's very unbecoming of a young noblewoman to even consider conversing with such a dolt! And what did you hand that idiot anyway? Simeon spat at his daughter, his face reddened with rage
Thread: The Fickle Gods (DudeMeister and Malicious Lullaby only)

Sapphire looked to her father and she shrugged. Just because hes a peasant, is not human as well? I am simply doing what I learned in my studies, Father. Each human is to treat each other as cordially and kindly as possible. She was biting back a bit of a smirk, considering hed probably throw himself into an early coronary because the methods of teaching were teaching her to be kind to lower statuses. I gave him a little token of my appreciation of his help. A little something for him to get an extra helping of food tonight for his kindness. Thats what she told her father and perhaps, it was technically true considering what was in that pouch was a sapphire jewel. He could trade that in for money or he could keep it. Whatever he wanted. Either way, it was a memento. Neither a pay out but just her kind way of saying thank you. Because it if hadnt been for him shed probably be road kill by his own doing. So really, he did a lot more than just save her. He saved himself from the wrath of her father. That was an impressive feat altogether.

At this point Simeon was too miffed to rationally reason with his smart-ass daughter. He sat at the other side of the carriage, fuming with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Alcaeus eventually did get the stone back to his workshop and began hammering away. Despite being one of the newer workmen in the shop, the other masons respected him. He was early to start, late to finish. After a whole day he was still hammering away at a piece of marble, crafting it into a drum section for a column. It was menial labor, but it kept a roof over his head. While the other masons bid him goodnight he remained working in candlelight. Wiping his brow with sweat in exhaustion he paused a bit to take the sapphire out of the small bag the woman gave him. He marveled at it. It wasn't because that the diamond was clear and finely cut...but rather that it came from her. He than played through the whole event that occurred earlier and smiled. After few more hours of working he finally sat at a desk and leaned over to fall asleep, knowing he had more work to do in the shop the next morning.

She rest her head against the window panel. The window in the carriage had a cloth hanging over it, a valence of a sort and she could feel the breeze bloom over her face. Her ankle throbbed but she didnt feel it at all. She wore a dreamy smile on her face. Only when they were at their home in Athens and inside, their servants were getting to work in bringing the place back to life and furnishing it. Or rather, uncovering their furnishings of their tarps. Sapphire was helped to her bedroom and she sat down on the bed, at the foot of it. That was when her father barged in, accusing her of accosting with a peasant and the entire time, she was just staring outside of the window. She wasnt listening. No, her heart was thumping. She wanted to see this man. Somehow. That was when an idea came to her. Father, I would like to make it up to you. I want to have a ball. Invite all of Athens. All the eligible suitors. All of Athens. Peasants included. He started to talk back, as if he knew why and she just smiled. Ill be so busy with suitors wanting to talk to me, youll always know where I am. She said softly. So see? This cant be any secret agenda if that is what you think. I only wish to get married to the best man possible, have my life and have children running around me. She smiled ever so sweetly and he seemed to buy it. He went off to make the preparations. She really hoped hed come.

The previous day's labor took it's toll on Alcaeus, and he slept all night in the stonemason's workshop. He woke up early the next morning with a yawn and got up, stretching his aching muscles that were fatigued from many a hard day of breaking and carving stone. Although he was the youngest in the workshop, he was highly respected since his father worked at this very guild before him, as well as his work ethic. He was an unassuming, unpretentious youth who was early to start, and late to finish. Like his father, he believed in making his way on his own steam. Dropping down to the floor to do some pushups, he soon felt himself awake and soon began his day of work. A few hours later a few of the workman came in and saw the pouch of sapphires that Sapphire gave him the day before Ho Alcaeus! Where did you get these? Since when can a stonemason afford something like this? he asked picking up and dangling the pouch. Hey Diokles...put those down!!! Alcaeus said, dropping his tools and running over to the desk, snatching the pouch and cradling it in his hands. Whoa sorry. What are you going to do with those. Are you trying to impress a woman or something?!? he asked, nudging him. Alcaeus blushed, and stuffed the pouch in his tunic. Well no...I helped a woman on the road the other day and she gave me these. he said Wow...she must have been a noblewoman to afford all of that. Do you know what house she come from? Diokles asked, walking to his desk and hanging his cloak on his chair Well know...I only know her first name, Sapphire...I don't know what house she comes from. I think she just arrived here yesterday. he said, walking over to finish up his work Well that's interesting, because a nobleman named Simeon Taren just arrived yesterday. He's also throwing a ball at the end of this week. All available suitors are invited... he said Wait what do you mean? Alcaeus asked, walking over to him Well...it would seem that he wants to marry his daughter off...so he's throwing this thing to get her a proper mate...hell even peasants are invited. I'd go there myself if I wasn't married... he said with a slight scowl So you think that this girl Sapphire could be his daughter? he asked, looking at him Maybe, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. If he's allowing even peasants to attend this little shin-dig, than I'd imagine that his daughter is rather ugly. Don't bother with it kid he said, picking up his own hammer and getting to work. Could it be that Sapphire was Simeon Taren's daughter? If that bald headed man was than he'd imagine that his chances of being allowed to court her were slim at best, right girl or not. There was also the question of class difference. She was a properly groomed nobleman's daughter, and he was a mason. He pretty much turned big rocks into smaller rocks. Thousands of years later he would be considered a blue collar worker, hardly one to become the son-in-law of a nobleman. But still,it couldn't hurt to go anyway. If she was there, he'd be able to see her again, and maybe thank her for the precious jewels she gave him.

That next day, all day it was all about preparing for the large ball that was to be had. Any man who were fit into the certain age group was allowed to attend. Simeon Taren was quite in a hurry to marry his daughter off. He figured that women reached a certain point in their youth when they were perfect and ripe to marry. That was when he got his lovely wife who was no longer with him. When they were both in the prime of their youth. Thats how he viewed it for Sapphire. He was going all out, especially wanting to do this for her and also show all of Athens that arrived that he would go to far lengths for his daughter. He wanted the best for her but the best only meant as far as money was concerned. Sapphire was confined to her rooms, her father figuring shed be in less trouble if she were to stay put. But that also had its perks because it meant she wouldnt have been expected to sneak out. Yes, she was a very headstrong young woman and if she had the chance to, shed sneak out. After her maidens helped her get read that morning, she pulled on a hooded cloak and climbed out of her window. It was easy since it wasnt a far drop. Just a little gap and she was careful about her ankle. A giggle came from her as she was out of her house and looked to her maidens who all gave her a look that she best be careful. The smiling girl yanked her hood closer over her face but her blue eyes could still be seen. She asked around town where to go if someone had brought in a lot of marble slabs. They all pointed to the same place. And that was where she went. Walking in, she carefully pulled her hood down and smiled. It was clear that she was the daughter of a high status nobleman. Even if she was a woman, the other men at least didnt look at her mockingly. They knew she had money. Im looking for Alcaeus. I was told he works here. She said softly.
