Thread: When a Knight rescues an Elf (MasterOfWhispers and Scarlet Angel)

An hour passed. An hour which has kept the knight busy attending the various problems in the medical wing. From, replacing the bandages of an avian with a broken wing. To helping a dwarf repairing bones due to an enemy warlock counter spell. It was next to a miracle that Richard managed to do as well as he could. It was no surprise though considering the knight's healing arts were nearly as flawless as normal healers abilities. After all, deep down he aspired to join the high paladins. An order directly under the command of a king. Healing arts were a required skill to join the Paladins. Skills in which his mentor tried to drill in his head over and over again. As the hour faded, he noticed his other personal charge wake up. Seemingly hungry. He smiled relieved that some color had returned to his face. A full night of sleep would do, as well as full meal in the belly. After finishing the last of his duties, the knight walked and sat at her side, telling the servants to bring the food to her bedside. Wasn't always like this of course. Though my mentor and adopted father had a rather unique perspective about racial equality. Reinhart was all about servicing the kingdom the best. He believed that races already living in this land each had something to offer. That each race would enhance the kingdom in it's own way. He had wisdom surpassing many of the greatest sages. Well given his nature it was hardly surprising. The lord of Machilda finished thoughtfully. His eyes slightly sparkled whenever he thought about his father. A vampire who had sworn to defend the human kingdom. He defended it so well that the monarchy would looked the other way when the vampire began to recruit several different people most of them not human. He even took to orphans of different races. The human Richard being one of them. It was a sad fate though,when he was killed in an invasion ten years ago. Reinhart passed the title on to Richard. And Richard bared the responsibility of the title with pride, hoping to continue on the same ideals that his adopted father imparted to him and the of his adopted brothers and sisters. Many of whom still stayed to service the province even after Reinharts death. Like Richard, they seek to continue on the ideals of the one who found and raised them. I'll be brutally honest here. Though I believe you like this bit of honesty. You might take it either way. Who knows Richard replied with a smirk. Aside from the state you are in, you are absolutely the most beautiful elf that has graced this village. I have no doubt that once you stay here as you recover and heal up enough to have meals with my family and I, You'll notice that quite a few men here. And even the human and elven woman that swing that way, will have no qualms about courting you. The knight winked. Maybe myself included. Hearing the growl from Elina's belly. Richard roared with laughter. It was rather delightful and jubilant. Well before worrying about courting perhaps we should get some food in that wonderful belly of your. And yes. This food is for you. I had the chefs whip up something special. The province has just opened up trade with the eastern merchants, and from what I'm told they have the finest spices of the land to add to their meal. I have to say, some of the chicken I have devoured never tasted better. As the last of the food arrived, the knight took a plate of his own and began eating along with the elfin maiden. I'll have a servant prepare the baths for you. After that, take the last of this potion. If Luther's been in top form with his potions making. You should be able to heal up in a night. If not, well I suppose you won't mind staying here for a couple of days to fully recover. That's the thing about magical remedies, they either cut the healing time in half or cure you in the blink of an eye.
