Thread: Path to the Bloodied Crown (MasterOfWhispers and Frogger.)

Laidolyn felt fresh heat rise to her cheeks, just when his arm came to wrap around her shoulders. Why? Why am I reacting like this, to my enemy, of all people? Shouldnt I...hate him, for everything he has done? My parents perished not even half a day ago...in a pool of their own blood...I do not even know what to expect next...for myself, or for the people still inside those cages. Will we be slaves? Or...will our world be changed into something no one will be able to recognize? Fear manifested itself inside her heart once again, as though it was a poison lurking...just waiting to seize control of everything she has. Her heart racing, she swallowed the lump that has formed in her throat. No, I should not hold hatred towards these men...despite all the death that has fallen due to their presence. I must not hate anyone...even though my parents, and sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers...have died Hate only brings out more hate Hatred will not help matters any It will not bring back those who have died...nor will it unwind the fabric of time. No one will forget...but rather, everyone should forgive. It will be difficult...yet it is necessary in order to move on. It is...so beautiful out here Laidolyn whispered. It truly was a beautiful night, the heavy full moon casting a silvery glow onto the land, and the flowers No words could come close to describing the overall scene. A chilly breeze whistled by, making her shiver and hold herself. By instinct alone, she turned more towards him, her head going into his chest. When she realized this, she began blushing a lovely dark red...and quickly stepped back. I...I did not mean to I am sorry Still blushing that pretty red, the young elf gazed elsewhere...unable to hide her embarrassment. Not much can be said about myself she told the handsome man. Her heart racing inside her chest...pounding hard against her ribcage, her emerald green eyes glanced in his direction. I am a Princess...the only daughter of our king or at least...I am the only daughter he is willing...to admit is his. I have lived in a life of luxury...but...I do try and help our people, by healing the sick Father never did approve, yet...I couldnt just watch children cough and get sicker...or our women and men die I understand why it is he did not wish for me to be around them...but still Her words trailing off, her gaze went from one flower to another, not sure what to say at this point. Underneath the moonlight, her raven-black hair was no longer black, but a molten river of silver. Those dark green eyes turned back to him. I must say...thank you, for bringing me out here Laidolyn whispered with a faint smile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can protect my sister, for as long as it takes. Alilthea took a step back when he did, suspicion making her skin crawl. I have lived here...for all my life. Though the conditions I live under are less than ideal, I will never chose to turn my back on those I care about no matter what you say. Please...just leave such a matter be. Obviously you are delusional or tired, because of the day you have had Those lovely brass eyes remained locked on his, and when he came within a foot of the elf...she grew tense, immediately. Her fingers went to her skirt, gripping onto the material with a white-knuckled grip. There is...something not right...she thought, her eyes narrowing. I dont like the look in his eyes...or how he is coming closer to me... Back straight, chin thrust forward, Alilthea noticed the pheromones gathering around the man like a mist over a lake, and ignored it. Some elves cannot resist it...but she is one who can. Alilthea shivered when his hot breath teased her ear. I will not be yours, nor will I ever be- Her words were cut off by...a kiss, one of which was hot and passionate...unlike anything she has ever felt before. Visions started coming, one by one, each one exquisitely detailed though horrifying, for in order for such a future...she would have to ally herself with a bloodthirsty...ambitious man. Is it really worth it? Is this future worth killing so many people, and destroying so many kingdoms? After a minute -perhaps longer, for an eternity could have passed-, the kiss was broken. H-How dare you-?! Alilthea gasped, eyes flashing with anger. Why should I be yours? I do not have any desire to change this world! The elf quickly jerked back from the man, skirts dancing about her long, slender legs which he caught glimpses of.
