Thread: The Dragon Princess and The Prince of Men (Ezra and Johnizbeast)

She took in a deep breath before looking to Obsidian hearing his words as they clicked a little in her head, something about what he was saying and how he was saying wasn't sitting right with her. Obsidian sighed as Midir said she wasn't hungry and took her bun out. Sorry about that, I can understand if your upset. I would be if I where in your shoes. Obsidian replied to her as he began to eat away at the food on his plate. He then looked to her and said I promise we will leave in the morning, for now lets just try not to cause any trouble. Anyways I really don't like talking about the Ebon Angel... Seems like the others can't get enough. She stated before running a hand through her fire kissed hair and closed her eyes, holding back the tears forming under them. She clutched the red egg stone on her necklace and muttered a few words before letting it go, as it rested back onto her chest, the necklace she was always wearing even in the prison. Demons of the world... i suppose they can't possibly think of anything different.. She muttered and leaned back slightly. Do you want to dance? Yeah, the great guardian sent by God right.... just cannot get enough of it. Obsidian replied. He then continued to eat his eyes moving up and down Midir's body. Once she asked to dance Obsidian nodded Yeah best to get it over with now. He then took Midir's arm and walked her out to the dance floor. He put one arm around her waist and held her hip while he took her hand in his and began to slowly dance with her as the band played in the back Do you know how to dance? Obsidian asked Minthra? Yes i know how to dance. She said to him before rolling her eyes and just began to lead him without a seconds notice, she had to learn rather early on it was a gift to turn into a human so she learnt various things. From the way you're speaking about him.. makes it seem you are this angel sent from God.. She muttered as they dance, she was surprisingly decent at it, though she let him lead again should he wish to. Obsidian i'm going to trust you with information... that if you act upon could start a war between the two races, or perhaps do some good. She took in a deep breath, I am the princess of the Dracathane Empire, and i am next in line to become Empress... She looked up at him, Most marriages are for political gain and power situating... so maybe.. it would prove beneficial if we were to get married. She said slowly, she wanted the best for her people and it would be a start to stop hiding in the shadows. Obsidian let her lead not really caring if she did. Though at her comment about him being the Angel Obsidian chuckled Oh, well it would be hard for a human like me to pull something off like that. We both know I am closer to a demon then a angel. He then listened to what she said and stopped dancing for moment. You are... and you want to marry me for real? Be honest with me... Are you marrying me just because I am next in line for the thrown? Honestly many woman have come to me and try to take advantage of me... I really get sick of it. Obsidian said to her. Midir stopped with him and gave him a look, I want to marry you because i like to think that at least in some part of the time we spent you realised i'm not evil, and i know you are far from that yourself...i want my people to stop being feared and if we work together we might actually be able to start... She cut herself off, no now wasn't the time to bring up them. I have no interest in your throne.. i am more interest in what we could accomplish... I'mnot some shallow... pardon my rudeness, i'm not some shallow bitch who's looking for an easy way to gain status.. Obsidian listen to her first comment and said Yes me and you could do a lot together, you are right. I have lost so much because of this war... though there are so many things... things you don't know... things that I don't know... He then listened to her talk about how she had no interest in the throne, then he replied saying Honestly your beautiful, strong and of Royal blood. On paper you would be the perfect Queen for me, with everything we could accomplish... its just that... I don't know if I could marry someone that got upset every time I kissed them.. let alone didn't even like it when I touched them She let out a long sigh and looked over to the side, You kissed me once out of the blue for seemingly no reason... and i admit... i might have... She fiddled with her hair slightly and looked down to her shoes. Overreacted. She looked up at him, If you have other suitors or people you'd rather take interest in that is fine... and what don't you know? Well I have other suitors but none that interest me.... He responded to her. Well how about this... kiss me right here and now... if it feels right, I will accept your proposal. Though I am not going to marry a woman I have never had a kiss with... just doesn't seem right Obsidian responded. Deep down inside he did find Midir attractive, he did like her, though he was afraid... afraid if she found out who he really was she would hate him... worried that maybe she was playing him. Midir perked her head up as he said that, and she could just hear in the back of her head. 'Shit.' She took in a deep breath and leaned up wrapping her arms around his neck as she went in to kiss him, just a slight worried gentle kiss. She was nervous doing this, but she could understand what he was after, she didn't want to force someone into spending the rest of their lives with her if it would mean they and her for that matter would despise each other for the rest of their days. Obsidian was surprised to have her kiss him. Though he kissed her back wanting to feel it for himself. He kissed back deeply holding onto her hips as he leaned into the kiss. This time he didn't rush or force it, he made sure to take his time. Though as they kissed he could feel what was going on inside her heart. It was a spell or an enchantment. It was something he was always able to do. He felt the same fear and worry in her heart as was his. He didn't feel love though, which he had hoped for, something he had never felt. Though he didn't feel malice or evil. That was enough for him. After about 45 seconds he broke the kiss and looked into Midir's eyes and said Fine I will marry you. Though as soon as Obsidian said that a bunch of people around them starting clapping. Aparently He had gotten lost in his own world for a second and said it to loud. He couldn't help but blush. Midir felt the beats of her heart against her ribs before moving back slightly as he looked up at him, having the kiss finished. She ran a hand through her hair, just her natural affinity for magic let her know there was something he was hiding from her, though she didn't decide to press it any further, as people started to clap. That was enough to snap her out of the train of thought to look around the place as they did. It wasn't exactly what she was expecting from him just announcing that. I guess the word is out... She said putting a smile on her face as she brushed the red hair from her face. It took tens of minutes after the congratulations, the well dones and of course the oh so famous good lucks before she found herself standing outside. She didn't know how she got there, but was thankful to just be out there and away from the people inside, she sat down on the grassy hill and watched the setting sun, the orange orb in the sky beginning to descend casting oranges and purples in the sky before poof. It was gone, leaving the purples in the sky. A small breeze came through the air, causing her long fire kissed hair to sway in the breeze, though she couldn't help but wipe away a few tears from her eyes. She had just condemned a man to a probably loveless marriage. Obsidian put on a smile and thank everyone who congratulated him as they walked around the room, though before he knew it Midir had disappeared so he looked around every where for her. That was until he saw her outside on a hill of grass by herself. Obsidian then quickly went out to her to see that she was crying. He then sat down next to her. Is it that bad that your going to be married to me that need to cry? He asked Midir. She glanced over her shoulder towards him and stood up slowly, No it's not that.. it's.. i just.. i can't give you what you want.. and i'm just sorry that i've now condemned you to a loveless marriage... something that.. She shook her head and wiped her eyes for a moment, Sorry.. Obsidian shook his head and chuckled Loveless is my life, anyways I am giving you the same thing so don't worry. I am willing to have a loveless marriage if it means peace. I only have 1 brother left. The other 6 died in the war with your people. I would like to have children someday. Don't worry about that now though, but I don't want them to suffer as I have. He then turned to Midir and said I won't ask you to give me something you cannot, but one day can I ask that you give me children. One of the only things I have ever wanted in life was a family. My mother died when she gave birth to me... my father remarried. Most of my half brothers are dead. I feel guilty sometimes.... I want a chance to make it up and create a family that last and doesn't have to watch each other die. If you can give me that, then I will be happy That was the first time Obsidian showed her a real part of himself, though he did so because if she was going to be his wife.... he at least wanted her to know that much. Midir stood there for a long time, the purple sky casting a shadow over her face, and reflecting in the diamonds across her dress causing them to glisten and refract onto the ground around her. It was after a few minutes sh lifted her head and nodded, I...i will try to give you children. She gave him a slight smile and bowed her head a little, wiping the tears from her eyes. How many more people do we have to say thank you to for them congratulating themselves... i swear a few of the women in their are debating whether it is worth sinking a knife into my chest. As Midir sat still unresponsive, Obsidian couldn't help but feel nervous. He was fine with a loveless marriage but he wanted children so badly. When Midir finally agreed for the first time she would she a genuine smile come onto her fiance's face as he said Thank you very much it means the world to me. If there is ever anything I can do for you as your husband please let me know. It is the least I can do. He shook his head at her next question and responded saying No, I already thanked everyone. Let's just go get some rest, we have a long ridea to the capital tomorrow. There we will inform my father of everything. If anyone will understand he will. Midir bowed her head to him and gave a slight smile, You should have that smile on your face more often, it suits you. She stated before going to head back to the house at a leisurely pace, and returning to her room, she closed the door behind her before getting out of the dress and into the best excuse for night clothes she had, and crawled under the sheets, her head flopping onto the pillow with a thud. He replied saying There aren't many things in this world that make me happy, so this smile doesn't come out that often.. Obsidian walked with Midir back upstairs, he just told her goodnight before leaving giving her privacy. He then went to his own bed and closed his eyes saying to himself I guess I am going to marry a dragon... how ironic after that he closed his eyes and fell asleep. When morning came he knock on Midir's door before coming in. Time to get moving Midir, we have breakfast waiting for us then we are off to the capital Midir stirred a little before grumbling as she pulled the sheet over her head, causing it to expose her feet. Can't i have five more minutes? She called through the door, with a slight pleading tone there, she felt just so tired right now and she didn't know why. Reaching up to her neck she clutched the red egg stone and let out a long yawn. She didn't want to move just yet, but knew that there was something that Obsidian was set on. She crawled out of her bed, and swung the door open revealing the red poofy haired Midir in her night attire. Obsidian sighed and was going to give her the 5 minutes she wanted but Midir had opened the door showing her poofy red hair which made Obsidian chuckle. You look ridiculous, why don't you take some time to rest up and get yourself together. Obsidian told her as he stepped into the room and shut the door behind him. He then sat down on a chair in the room. I hope you don't mind if I wait in here. I will have to socialize otherwise. Obsidian said. How many people are down there waiting to socialise with you? She asked as she moved behind a changing screen and with a poof she came out fully dressed, her hair still poofy in places, looking like a rather large mane of hair. She ran a hand through it, contemplating something. Maybe we should just go down like this and people will think i'm too bitter to talk to... you could just say oh don't mind her, she just needs my company and boom no one to talk to you bar me. Obsidian shook his head it is nothing like that. Its just Lord Lakem wants to chat... you know kiss ass. So don't worry, I already told him as soon as you are ready we are leaving. Basically he wants to chat while I wait for you to get dressed. Though I do love your idea, I will use that sometimes. At least I know my future wife is going to be smart Obsidian said as he rested back on the chair. Mhm... though that can be a pain, with brains comes a smart tongue so in which i apologise for everything mean i say to you in the future in advanced. She added and flopped back on the bed, the open fur coat draping down after her. Could we stop at the tailors before we go? I gave something to Linda to help her child.. and i want to see if it worked well. She muttered, staring up towards the cloth draped over the four poster bed. Also how do people sleep in these giant things? There's just so much room in it... i mean do they expect you people to bring half a brothel up there to share one bed? She questions, lifting herself up and giving Obsidian a puzzled look. Obsidian nodded Don't worry I can be the same way Midir He then watched her flop down on the bed and began to check her out for the first time. Maybe it was because they where going to be married he finally opened his mind to the idea of them sleeping together... no one day they would... at least she was beautiful he thought. Though he quickly looked away catching himself. Of course we can stop by the tailors, I am sure they will be happy to see us again and hear the news. He then listened to her talk about the bed which made him laugh Well that bed was made for two people at least not one, and yes sometimes nobles do buy out an entire brothel and bring ladies up for the night. I have never done it myself, but it is not unheard of. She gave a slight smile as he spoke before taking in a deep breath as she ran her hand through her bushy hair. If you ever.. get bored i won't object to you acquiring company of that sort.. i just thought i'd make that clear. She gave him a slgith smile and nodded a little, she agreed to have children with him one day but that could be a while... or... she jsut didn't know and wanted to make sure that he knew he could... Or.. whatever. she grabbed a clump of her hair and began to braid it, the clothes eh was wearing consisted of a green shirt underneath the fur coat witht he sleeve cuffs poking out from the sleeves, and baggy brown trousers tucked into brown cavalry boots and of course that necklace. Shall we get going..? I can skip breakfast but i might have to hunt something soon or on the road.. Obsidian smiled at her and said I plan on it... I just didn't want our first time together to be in a bed at anothers house. I heard a husband and wives first time together is suppose to be special, I cannot give you much as a husband so I thought I would at least give you that. Our first time together at our home, in our bed. He then replied to her comment about leaving by nodding and Obsidian replied telling her Yeah lets get moving, Honestly I am getting home sick. In regards to breakfast Linda always makes wonderful donuts if you would like to have breakfast there? Obsidian said as he got up preparing to leave with Midir. No no... when i say i need something to eat.. it's going to be quite a lot. My stomach is significantly larger than most.. She said as she tapped her fingers together before blowing some air out of her cheeks as she followed him out of the room and back to the horses, best to just get back on the road and put some more distance behind them. After the visit of course. Obsidian paused as she mentioned eating a lot more How much more.... like do we have to take down a herd of wild oxen... I mean I can do that I just need to know how much food we need to keep in stock for the future A bit more than a oxen...just a large amount of food to fill... well a dragon. She says with a slight laugh, I can eat regular food you digest but it's microscopic in comparison to the things i need over all, thankfully this is like a once every few day things. As soon as we're in the clear i'll change and go off for a bit before meeting back with you. She suggested giving him a kind hearted smile. So the entire herd? Obsidian asked her teasingly he then responded to her next comment about turning onto a dragon and hunting No I think you running around the country side hunting in your dragon form could cause a panic. I know your not going to do it near people but there are a lot of hunters around these parts. If just one spots you it would cause a panic. To see a dragon flying or even walking this deep in human territory could be a problem. Why don't you let me hunt some oxen for you, just let me know how many and I will get them for you She glanced at him before hunching over a little, You're no fun sometimes.. She muttered and patted the horse a little. Don't worry there, i won't be eating you anytime soon.. She gave a slight grin before looking over towards him. Around six.. maybe seven of them if they are big ones, normal ones will take more. She added, rubbing her eyes as something had flown into it. Obsidian nodded and stated Fair enough, well I will make sure you get it. Then they arrived at the tailors. Obsidian then got off and tied up their horses but before they even could come in little Chelsea came running out with both of her legs. OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!! she yelled running up and hugging Midir. Midir smiled a little, Aaah my endearing Fiance. She mused before sliding off of her horse and petting the mane of it. Turning on around she was greeted by a hug, and it was probably an amusing sight to watch. This little girl hugging a full grown woman, who stood there with her eyes wide open and all the colour draining from her face as if someone had just slit her throat. That's... wonderful... Oh I am already endearing huh? Obsidian replied teasingly. Obsidian laughed as the little girl hugged and squeezed on Midir, he couldn't help but enjoy her expression. Now, Now Chelsea that is my Fiance I may get jealous if you hug her to much The little girl then jumped back with wide eyes and put her hands to her cheek and squealled. At that her mother Linda came out and said Now whats all the racket about! Chelsea than ran up to her mother and shouted OBSIDIAN AND MIDIR ARE GETTING MARRIED! That made Linda squeal now to. She then ran up to the two of them grabbing each other their hands Oh my! I promise I will make you two the most beautiful wedding attire when the time comes! Also Midir thank you so much for healing my daughter! and Congratulations!! Midir glanced at her, just feeling suddenly very awkward about all of this and tried to smile, but ti just came across as a pained expression. Hehe.... thank you, and really it was nothing. She said to her, rubbing the back of her head, just the word help me going into her head for the moment. She was happy to see that everything was better now here, and the other two were seemingly happier still. That would be very great Linda, i'm sure it'll be a great item for a wedding! Obsidian chuckled at Midir's response and said Oh yeah its nothing... Then when Linda came out celebrating Obsidian said Well the wedding won't be for a bit but I am sure you will see us again when the time comes. We are happy that Chelsea is feeling better. But we must get going. He then turned to Midir and said Anything else you want to say or tell them before we leave? She stood there and shook her head for a moment, conveying her want to start heading off. It was good to see you both again. She gave a little thumbs up to Chelsea hoping to god that she wouldn't hug her again to avoid that awkward situation. Yeah i'm sure we'll be seeing each other again. Obsidian smiled at her comments ready to head off as well. Alright then lets get going He then turned to the two other women and said We will be in touch about the wedding. With that he jump on his horse and set off with Midir. As the road for a while they eventually reach a valley where Obsidian saw a herd of Oxen, he smiled and pointed to them How about we get those for your feast? you can hide yourself in the woods right to them and I will drag them in for you She mumbled to herself as they apssed, she was a capable hunter.... but she didn't want to annoy anyone or give them a heart attack. I don't know those woods are tightly packed there might be a risk of breaking a few of the trees. She stated before stroking her chin as she looked over the country side for a place to say. There's a clearing not too far from here if we ride for just that little bit longer, it shouldn't be a problem. Obsidian nodded at her suggestion Okay lets ride to the clearing. He then road off with her into the clearing and had the horses tied to a strong tree near by. He then turned to Midir and said I will be back in 10 minutes with 10 Oxen, if you need more I will go out for you again. Anything you don't eat just leave. Obsidian then casted a couple spells on himself. I will be right back Obsidian said, though he then quickly zipped away at a speed much faster than any horse, leaving an after image of himself. About 10 minutes later Obsidian came zipping back in, dropping off dead oxen after dead oxen in front of her until there where 11 in total. Sorry I went over board, please enjoy your meal He said before releasing the acceleration spell on himself and sitting down. Midir watched him dart off before settling down in the opening. Slowly her form began to shift as her skin was covered in white scales, her eyes turning a deep red as her size grew into the white scaled red maned dragon that took up most of the clearing, her wings tucked in close enough to her own body to prevent from knocking any of the tress away as if they were match sticks. Resting her head on her paw she waited for him to come out. As soon as he came back with one Oxen she sunk her fangs into it and began to tear away the hunks of meat swallowing them quickly and efficiently, leaving nothing but a carcass there. Then when the next one came she tore into that one as well. It wasn't a pretty sight, but she was fairly hungry and it was evident by how she was eating. Obsidian just sat there and watched as Midir ate like a starved peasant, honestly to see that he had not been properly feeding his fiance did hurt his pride. He was a prince, the last thing they should have to worry about is food. Obsidian then said You should have told me you needed food sooner.... I would have gotten it for you..... She chewed on the meat, her dagger like teeth piercing the flesh into a fine paste before swallowing it. I told you when i needed it, it was just this morning i woke up and felt hungry as i'm sure humans do on time. She stated and bit down on the carcass tearing off another hunk of meat with a wet tearing sound as she swallowed it. You have to remember i am a predator as well, i eat when i am hungry not because i feel like it. She stated and flexed her wings a little, It is not a fault on your part.. She added, sensing his slight worry about this. He listened to her and nodded replied to her first comment saying That I understand, I will make sure we have plenty of livestock at the castle for you at all times. He continued to watch her eat, even flex her wings. At her last statement he said I know its not my fault, I am just happy I know now. She continued to chew the meat and smiled over at him, well it came across more as a twisted menace as her blood stained teeth were shown. She then took another strip of meat before reeling her head back and sent down a long spew of flame onto the remaining carcasses into ash for them to be taken away with the wind. She then turned back into her human form with the sounds of her bones cracking and creaking. He just looked at her face oddly as her Yeah... you should clean your teeth before you smile He responded to her as nicely as he could. Once she had tranformed back he said Well lets get going, we should reach the capital by nightfall. With that he was riding off with Midir.4 Midir raised an eyebrow before nodding at him and mounted onto her horse. What's the capital like... i mean is there much else to see other than great buildings? She asked, curious about this place she knew so little about, it was a strange feeling that settled in her stomach. It was certainly not something she had expected to be doing right now. He smiled at her question as they rode answering promptly Well yes, many great buildings. There is the great cathedral of course and the palace, we also have an amazing harbor. Oh! and the great food district. I will have to show you around! Midir gave him a smile before nodding. Err... yes or a map could be helpful.. one of the two at least. She told him with a slight chuckle before looking over him again. You sound rather proud of this place though.. She stated as her horse came closer to him and rode at his side. He chuckled and replied to her saying I will make sure you get a couple nice maps of the capital. At her question he replied Yes I am very proud, my ancestors oversaw the building of the city. Starting off as a small village, now building it up to a metropolis. One day it will be my job to oversee and help grow the city, I look forward to doing my best and eventually passing it on to my offspring. Midir remained quiet for a moment before looking over at her and taking in a deep breath. Our job to grow the city. She stated and smiled a little at him before leaning over in her saddle to poke his cheek a little, trying to make an effort at least for him. He chuckled at her response as she poked his cheek Yes our job, forgive me I am still trying to get use to being engage. But yes... the two of us will grow it together. With that he was riding off with her to the city. Just as the sun set the came to the top of a hill and in the distance they could the see the great human city of Aqualia Picture of Aqualia She smiled and leaned back into her saddle as they continued along the path, the dirt turning more into stone as they rode before she could see the large city laid bare before her. Wow... that's.. quite the sight.. She stated to him and took in a deep breath before running a hand through her red hair. I bet not many dragons have gotten this close to the city. She added and clutched the red stone of her necklace. Obsidian smiled and said Yes it is a beautiful sight, and no... you will be the first dragon to set foot in this city. With that he road off with her, the gates opened and the two of them road in. As the road through the city many bowed and cheered at Obsidian's return. He waived and smiled as the passed by the people. She glanced at the gates before looking over to him. Are we going to be honest with your father about where i am from? She asked him, wanting to be sure that they could either be honest or agree on the same lie. She smiled a little at the people, seeing that there were a lot of people who respected the man she would call husband. He nodded and replied Yes I will tell him everything... he will understand. Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the large palace. The gates opened for them once again and he rode into the palace. Obsidian went to the guards and ask him where his father was The guard replied My lord, your father is visiting a noble in the west. He will return tomorrow evening. Obsidian sighed and nodded before saying Thank you. He then guided Midir through the elebrate halls of the palace. How about I show you to our room? he asked Midir. Midir took int the sight and waved at a few of the guards and was surprised to see tha they waved back at her before dismounting from her horse. I will get my donkey you know.. She stated before turning towards him. Oh that would be most kind thank you. She stated and waited for him to lead on towards the room she would call home. Obsidian nodded and said I will send out a group in the morning to retrieve that donkey for you, I promise. Once she responded to his question about heading to their bedroom he smiled and walked her up the large spiral stair case into the west wing of the palace. Once inside he took her down the hall and opened to door to a beautiful large blue room. This is where we will stay... it honestly my preferred place to sleep Obsidian told her as they walked into the room. Picture of the room Ignore the electric lamps She looked around the room, and couldn't help but smile a little at it. I suppose this is a nice room. She said in a quiet tone before tracing her hands along the drapes around the bed. She felt like a slight contrast to the blue of the room with her red hair, but there was definitely a light charm over the place that seemed nice. Oh..we.. will i be staying i be sleeping in a different bed? She asked him hooking her thumbs on the sides of her fur coat pockets. Obsidian smiled saying I am glad you like it, it is my favorite place to be honestly. He watched as he examined the bed, then after her last statement he replied Well you can stay in the room next to here, but tonight I was hoping you would stay with me here. Obsidian then sat down on the side of the bed looking at her, his eyes moving up and down her body.
