Thread: Blood Moon Rising: Curse of A New Dawn (Xnarrated & Nightsorceress)

The very next morning, Lord Ennikah burned incense at the Ancient Altar, high atop the Tower Of Bone, he prayed contemplating the Blood Moon which would be upon them by night fall. Never the less, there was still Time! The sun had yet to even dawn on the new dayand still he was already up, tending to business of the Realm! With a heavy heart he sighed a great breath into the frosty atmosphere. Outwardly he seemed calm, but inwardly his mind raced a million miles per second and all his emotions were in a mess. Mostly he felt apprehension, fear, doubt! But deep down, somewhere in his darkest recesses, if he were to be honest, the Emperor could feel something else stirring up inside him thought he ought not admit to himself or any other A knock at the chamber door disturbed his sacrificial rite, for it was not only Lillians name day, it too was his own. 600 years is a long time, and its hard work, dedication, and the ways of the ancient which help to persevere his strength. You may enter... his eyes parted slowly, to embrace the shining new sun, full of wonder and Hope just beginning to crack open the night sky My Lord A Thousand Blessings to you this day, your sacred day, the Day of your great house, and your birth and the birth of the Princess, and many more blessings. The guard announced as he entered Empress Lillian has just awaken from her slumber, and shes a bit grouchy, I dont think she likes being up earlier than usual, especially since she cant perform her normal routine...your presence would be helpful to the attendants, your Lord Grace Does the carriage await us to Rose Brook Lord Ennikah responded. Of course my Lord Grace, we have been ready for hours! The cooks are just finished the breakfast meal, which should be ready to eat once everything is....completea beautiful private meal for the two of you will await at Thorn Hill just beyond Rose Brook He closed his eyes and said one final prayer .....May HaWeh watch over us all during these dark days... Then another attendant who was new, and green behind the ears, nearly older than his precious Lily in fact, when the two where younger pups, they played in the fields near Marygold Marshlands, on trips with the nursery As he blew out the candles and incense Lord Ennikah was approached by the young boy, cloak in hand, to help the Emperor don his Royal Garments. As traversed down the Hallowed Hall the thunderous sound of his size 18 boot clomped and clacked with a great echo the dazzling floor to ceiling sized windows, creating a kaleidoscope effect through stained glass, as the colors danced along the walls with a beautiful exuberance. Am I truly going to go through with this...Do I truly have another choice? He stood just outside her doors, again, like he had every Sunday Morning, since the death of her parents, to greet the girl with love and affection, have their Intimate Time. Bein Emperor is a busy job, and being so hands on makes it even more difficult, but Ennikah promised Lillian he would always make time for her for the whole day, it would be their alone time to catch up and spend however they wished. And today no different even if it were more soecial. He entered her room, with almost a dozen attending servants all about the place doing one thing or the next. As beautiful as the 1st day of creation, Im am honored to be in your presence my precious princess! How do you like your beautiful new Born Day Dress? Has it shipped from Valandia its no other dress like it in the world home world! She didnt need any make up but still they put applied some to her skin, so delicate and fair, the sun would scorch her alive if not. The winters were difficult to forecast in Cannistopolis, some days would be 7 inches of snow, and windy, and then the next a bright sunny day would melt it all away, even if it was still freezing cold the suns rays where always being down on clear days. The dress was laid out on her bed, as some attending ladies sewed in the house sigil and added the last finishing touches to her garment before she would put it on. Other combed and decorated her hair, while a few other ladies painted her hands and feet. This morning we shall bathe in the Waters of the Rose Brookit is our tradition and custom, Ive bathed you every Sunday since you were a baby, but youve never seen the Brook before, you should be excited, and not so grumpy, youre to gorgeous!
