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

Obsidian just took a deep breath as Midir went off knowing he had to hurry and choose. He decided to go with he sweets since he thought it was something they both could enjoy. Obsidian then turned to the archery man and said You have no idea. He then just left to follow Midir. Once he caught up he handed the sweets to her smiling at the children. Here this is yours, the archery thing was your idea so he loot should go to you Obsidian said as he handed Midir the sweets. He would have said something about the sweets distracting her from eating the children, but he really didn't think she would do it at this point she he just let the thought go. Though he still didn't trust her completely yet. Midir glanced over at him and took the sweets with a slight smile and took one of the sweets, sugared fruit, and popped it into her mouth. Oh why thank you. She mused and glanced around for a moment. Enjoying yourself? She asked him with a sly smirk on her face and ate another one before offering him one of the crystal strawberries. Or are you still being stuck up? Sh glanced over to the children, watching one of the shoes land on the pole. Well done! She called over towards them. Your welcome woman Obsidian replied before taking the the crystal strawberry. He then sighed at her next couple comments before replying The archery thing was okay. Though I am starting to get hungry again, we should find some food or something. Midir looked around the festival and chuckled a little, she couldn't believe him sometimes. Still keeping that.. it's a festival! She added gesturing around to the scene before them, of games being played, of stores selling unique items, of others with roasting meats with fat dripping a sizzling into the fires, of vegetables being sold from across the land. Pick a place and let us go and eat. She gave him a poke on the shoulder before she brushed her red hair from her face, and popped another crystal strawberry in her mouth. Obsidian looked around and decided that they would go a one of the barbaque stands. There, they are roasting some nice meat there He replied then took Midir's hand and began to escort her to the stand. Though as they walked two soldeirs who where from the kingdom that Midir had been taken prisoner by came into sight. Obsidian quickly pulled her into a near by ally, though he noticed they had been spotted. He quickly pulled up the hood on his robe along with the one on Midir's fur coat. Listen just follow my lead, they don't know I am taking you back to my kingdom. If they find out there will be trouble Obsidian said. He then saw the two soldiers came into the ally and took Midir around the corner of the ally behind a shop. He then put her up against the wall and said Kiss me, pretend to kiss me. We have to make it look like we are just looking for privacy rather than running from them. I don't want to make scene by having to knock them out or kill them Obisidan told Midir. He then leaned in and kissed her. As he did the soldiers turned the corner they saw the two kissing. Oh sorry to disturb you one of the soldiers said before turning around and walking away. Once they left Obsidian broke the kiss and said Don't take it as anything.... I just did what I had to in order to prevent bloodshed She hummed quietly to herself as he seemed too eager to head towards the barbecue, though as they began to head towards the place she noticed the guards before she could say anything she was dragged off to the side into the alley, and then there he was kissing her. She barely had time to say anything to object before he was kissing her. She kept it up long enough for them to make it seem believable. Though what he said afterwards made her raise an eyebrow. You're a shit kisser. She pushed away from him shaking her head, moving away from him shaking her head as she moved away, keeping her hood up as she did so. She moved out of the place and back towards the festival, just deciding to turn in and head over to the tavern. Obsidian may notice that his coin purse was gone. Midir paid for a room with his money and left it with the tavern keeping so Obsidian could claim it later. When she called him a shit kisser Obsidian couldn't help but blush. He then shouted LISTEN I DID WHAT I HAD TO!! THOSE GUARDS WHERE ONTO US!! I DIDNT WANT TO KISS A DRAGON ANYWAYS!! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY TO ENOUGH BE ABLE TO FAKE KISS SOMEONE LIKE ME!! At that point Obsidian was upset enough he just let Midir walk away. He then went to the barbecue to find he didn't even have his coin purse. That really pissed him off as he went running back to the tavern. He then went searching up in the rooms for Midir until he found her WHERE IS MY MONEY! Midir was laying on the bed and didn't even rise up to see him as she stayed on the single bed of the room. I left it with the tavern keeper.. keep your voice down otherwise people in the other rooms will be annoyed at you. Her voice was cold and unemotional as she remained lying down. Now just leave me alone and get on with your evening. Obsidian raised his eye brow and said Oh now you show your true colors, emotionless and underhanded. I try to save you from being tortured again and this is my thanks huh? What ever I have no interest in a festival, you where the one who wanted to go. You can stay here with me. I will just have some food at the tavern. Obsidian then left to go to the tavern keep to get his coin pouch, there he ordered some food to be brought up to them. He then went back up to the room and sat on his bed as he awaited the meal. Midir remained quiet and just laid there as he went on his rant, there was no point in talking t him. It just wouldn't achieve anything, humans were just angry creatures who sought nothing but to see the worst in everything. She closed her eyes and tried to get some form of sleep. Obsidian waited int he quiet until his food was brought to him. He then ate it all before casting a barrier around the room so it would be difficult for Midir to leave the room, or even if she did he would notice right away. After that he finally went to bed and awaited morning. The red haired dragon remained asleep throughout most of the night, though in the middle she had gotten up and found the barrier around the room. With a bit of tweaking and her own skill she got out of it, and literally just headed downstairs to grab some food, feeling like she could eat a horse.. but she wasn't exactly in the mood for that. She returned to the room with her food, pretty much straight away to make sure that Obsidian didn't have a fit over her being gone. Obsidian woke up as soon as Midir left the barrier and quickly followed her downstairs. He then saw that she was just getting some food and went upstairs and waited for her. Once she got back he said Hurry up and finish we are going right back to my Kingdom. I grow tired of your games, you showed me your true colors last night after I tried to save you. You know I was just starting to wonder if you where actually a nice creature to? Midir rolled her eyes as she ate her food though when he started talking she had, had enough. Right you listen. You talk about showing my true colours, you randomly kissed me out of no where, with not time to object or do anything else. I could have easily cast an invisibility spell, or anything else. Oh such a shame i took your coin purse, there are thousands of humans who have stolen far more than i have. If you still think that i'm out to destroy the entire freaking world, than your a bigger fool than i thought you were. You act like I knew you had an invisibility spell. It was just a kiss, it meant nothing so get over it! Secondly you have no idea what you kind has stolen from me! So don't even talk about it! I AM DOING MY BEST TO GET YOU THERE WITHOUT HURTING OR TORTURING YOU! IF YOU WANT I CAN RETRACT THAT KINDNESS!! By the end Obsidian was clearly upset. Well stop doing your best, stop looking with your dogmatic view of me and start looking at the fucking person in front of you! I haven't tried to run! I haven't tried to kill you! Or Anyone! Think about where i am! I'm away from home, i've been kidnapped essentially, you think this is fucking easy for me!? You think i'm doing this with little effort? I want to go home, and away from you with every bone in my body but here i am staying with you for the slightest hope of getting some fucking peace between our two nations! She panted after her rant, her eyes staring at him, tears hidden deep within them. I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT! YOUR KIND KILLED MY BROTHERS!! I AM SORRY MY BEST ISNT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! at that point there was a banging on the door and the tavern keep opened it up. Keep it down the others patrons are trying to sleep! Save your lovers quarrel for the afternoon dammit! The tavern keeper then shut the door leaving the two in there alone. Obsidian then took a deep breath and said Lets just keep moving, I guess we are just natural enemies after all. Hahahaahaa. She let out a shrill and cold laugh before narrowing her eyes, If you think i'm going anywhere with you now, you've got fluff inside of your head boy. She rose from her position and headed towards the door before shaking her head, I need to get some air. She snarled, clenching her free hand into a white knuckled fist as she slammed the door behind her head, partially so that if he tried to follow her, he'd have to open the door again and that would give her enough time to make a run for the door. He wasn't having any of it, what an idiot! She was thinking in her head, that he was being blind to the obvious good in front of him. She could have roasted him alive if she felt like it, this town would be nothing more than burning timber if that was what she desired... Obsidian had enough of this, he was so angry when she left. He could tell that this dragon thought he was nothing more then another weak human she could just push around, maybe she even pitied him. As soon as she slammed the door he quickly followed her. Once he caught up Obsidian grabbed her arm and said Your not allowed to leave my side, trust me I wish I could be rid of you. Though this is how it has to be! No it fucking doesn't. She said to him in almost a laugh like tone. The town was quet around them, with the moon shining down on them, the festival having ended, leaving only the drunk and late people out, near bonfires set up around the place. You've hated me through out the whole of this, and have been unable to accept that i've tried to show. Oh i'm not an evil person here. Yes i might have annoyed you and pushed you but can you blame me? Look at yourself...how would you feel if you were in my shoes? She asked him, I can imagine it's just a little less painful than me being in yours..now let me go so i can at least take a walk and have time to cool off without feeling your burning gaze on me... please.. She looked to the side, her red hair covering her face a little as she could feel her eyes burning, she wasn't going to cry though. You're taking out the anger of my kind on me... and it's unfair... Ebon took a deep breath and tossed Midir a necklace. Fine I will give you, all the space you need. Just wear that, it will tell me where you are. If you truly are not trying to run away and escape you will wear that. Obsidian said. He honestly wanted some space from her as well. Though he still had his duty and he couldn't ignore it. So he thought this would be a good compromise. They could both get what they wanted without him having to worry about losing her. She caught the necklace and inspected a little. Without argument she looked it around her belt, it was on her at least before heading out of the town leaving the embers behind her. She found a large elm tree before perching herself upon one of the lower branches and closed her eyes. Just hopefully letting the nights events just pass by, and her boiling blood to simmer down. Obsidian made sure to use his magic and the necklace to keep on eye on here. He even would be able to tell is someone got close to her. So he just laid down on the bed and slept for the night. Midir remained where she was looking around and up to the sky, she was still there in the morning. She hadn't moved at all, she rolled her shoulders though thinking that she needed to stretch her true self soon. Once morning came Obsidian woke up and worked his way to Midir. His temper had quieted with the dragon girl, and now he was feeling a lot better. He found her laying under a tree and walked up to her saying Feeling better?. Hmm? She looked over to him as he had approached her and gave a slight smile. Yeah.. She rose to her feet, and suted some dirt off of her clothing off before tossing him the necklace he gave her. She took her red hair and began to braid one side of it for a few moments and then placed her hands at her side, looking around as if expecting something to fly out. Shall we? Obsidian took a deep breath, as she stood up with a smile happy to see she wasn't going to be a problem anymore. Yeah lets get going we have a long road ahead of us, I will get you a horse so you don't have to ride with me anymore like I promised to you before. Now lets go to the horse breeder, there is one on the edge of town. There you can pick on out of your liking. Obsidian said before getting on his horse and guiding Midir to the horse breeder. If you're grabbing a horse.. i might not ride it for a little while.. i need to stretch for a bit... She added and looked to the side for a moment, Though i will do it a few miles on the outskirts of the town. No it's not to burn anyone it's just like being stuck in a suit of armour for days on end.. She stopped before she went a bit further, biting back her natural wit and sharp tongue. I hope you understand my reason. Obsidian just shrugged I don't care, feel free to stretch when ever you want. You don't have to ride with me or anything, as long as we keep moving I really don't care at this point He responded. With the he was taking a leisurely stroll on his horse throw the town along side Midir until the reached the edge of town where the horse breeder was. She rode on the horse for a bit longer than a few miles until she was certain they were out of prying viewers eyes. She glanced over towards him, debating whether she should be more honest with him. Saying that though could be the death of her, and he seemed like in the moment he doesn't care. She slid off of the horse and transformed, white scales covering her body along with red, as her shape grew larger and she took her dragon form and began to walk alongside him on the road for now. As she transformed Obsidian just turned to her watching. He wasn't shocked or frightened by it, he knew she was a dragon. He had also fought and killed so many it would take more then a dragon walking next to him to startle him. He just responded by saying So that's your dragon form huh? She continued to walk along side him and turned her head a little before flexing her wings. I'm surprised you didn't see it when i crashed.. her voice rang out before she beat her wings once to stretch them properly. But i'm sure you've seen far more impressive dragons in your time. I wasn't around when you crashed, I was called in afterwords. Like I said, you where being held captive by a kingdom other than my own. Like a person, I do not judge a dragon by its appearance. I have seen big strong dragons fall easy, and smaller dragons bring an army to its knees. Obsidian replied to Midir as they walked along the side of the road. She couldn't help but chuckle at that and moved her head a little back as she continued to walk. You've seen so much of the bad kind.. She muttered to herself as they made their way along the dirt path, and eventually she actually just began to hum to the beat of her own feet crashing on the ground. Ebon conttinued on saying Well your the first dragon I have met that didn't try to kill me and my people right off the bat, so forgive me if my thoughts on your kind are less than positive. After that he just listen to her hum and crush her feet to the the dirt path. Don't be to loud, I don't want to have to explain to anyone this situation or worse have to shut them up Aaah don't worry i have a plan on what to do if people come looking, i'm a travelling performer, practicing an illusion to spook my audience. She chuckled, Well i have gathered your views of my people.. She mused and continued to hum as she flexed her wings again and beat them once causing a slight gust. It does feel good to stretch though. The wind began to move through causing her firey mane on her neck to sway in the wind. Obsidian sighed and replied to her saying just be careful okay. There are people looking for you, people that know your a dragon who can transform into a human. That illusion story of yours isn't going to work on them With that they where getting close to the horse breeder. Though Obsidian spent most of their walk looking at Midir's dragon form. She definitely was a different type of dragon. Even in her dragon form she had beauty. It really made him curious about her. Mhm.. She responded to him, her white scales glittering like frost in the sun, making a rainbow like glisten about them. I understand that, but i doubt they would expect them to be out in the open like this. She added, But i will be careful do not worry. As they got closer towards the breeder she changed back to her usual human form, and brushed her fire kissed hair from her face and walked alongside him. So i can just pick any horse right? Once she transformed back he just turned away not wanting her to see him checking her out once again. Then when she asked about the horses he responded by telling her Yes I have more than enough money for you to buy any horse you want. So choose what ever you like. She nodded at him and greeted the breeder before looking at what they have. She moved through the stallions and the mares, none of them attracted her attention. Out of everything though the thing that did attract her attention was a mule. She rushed towards it. He's so cute! She yells as she hugs the brown mule, who was just eating some grass and looking less than bothered about being hugged around the neck. Once they got to breeder Obsidian walked with Midir through the stalls and just couldn't understand why she didn't like any of the horses. Then when she found the mule he couldn't help but face palm Are you kidding me? You complained about riding on the same horse as me so I wanted to get you something to ride, not a pet for you to pamper. Please be serious Midir Obsidian said shaking his head. Excuse me!? She turned around and folded her arms a little looking at him, A mule is a good steed they can carry far more than a horse is there something wrong with this fine mule? She asked him and gave a slight grin to the breeder before petting it once more. Fine though.. She approached a black and white patched horse and stroked her neck. This one will be fine then. She nodded and looked over it again. Nothing wrong with a good mule honestly, though we are looking for a horse for you to. Obsidian replied. He then followed her over to the white and black horse and nodded to her before going to the breeder and paying him for the horse. He then went back to Midir and the horse carrying a saddle. Do you know how to ride a horse? Obsidian asked. Midir took the saddle and began to buckle it up from the side and then underneath getting everything in place. Yes i do, i've seen enough people do it, and practiced enough by myself to do it. She placed her foot on the stirrup and pushed herself upwards, swinging her other leg over the saddle and mounting the horse. Obsidian smiled as he watched her get up onto the horse without a problem. He then replied to her saying Looks like it, then lets get going. We still have a couple days ahead of us before we reach the capital of my Kingdom. With that Obsidian was giving his horse a gently kick and they began to set off. She let out a sigh and kicked the horse, well nudged it to get it after his horse following him. She wasn't sure what to make over the fact that there are a few more days of just riding. The thought did strike her of just picking up the horses and himself and flying the rest of the way there, but that wouldn't be the smartest move to make. As the strolled down the road a large carriage come up next to them and came to stop. A man then stuck his head out the Window. PRINCE OBSIDIAN!! he shouted. Obsidian then came to dead stop and turned his head to see a noble man he knew. Oh.. Hello there! How are you Sir Lakem? The man then got out of the carriage and began to walk towards them. I am doing great, I heard you where on a mission in the main city. Surprised to see you out here. Obsidian then smiled and said Oh yes we had an emergency and I was called back by my father. The man then smiled and said That is perfect, I am having a party in a day at my estate. It will be on your way, I beg you to stop by. It would be my honor to host the prince in his travels at my party. Obsdian sighed and said I would like to stop by but I am on a priority mission. The man then came up and saw that a woman was with him and he smiled Oh I see, bringing your future Queen back home with you huh? I heard you where recently announced as your father's heir. So she must be the Princess you are being suited with. Obsidian just cringed and said Oh yes... she is. The man then clapped his hands together and said Then please stop by with the young lady I promise you will only receive the best of accommodations Obsidian was honestly tired of sleeping in bedrolls and in taverns, and Sir Lakem's estate was in his territory so it was safe to bring Midir there. So he just decided to agree Fine we will see you there in a day. The man looked very happy as bowed and thank Obsidian before going back to his carriage. Once the man left he turned to Midir and said I hope you like parties Oh i love them. She gave a happy smile to him and bowed her head, at him as he began to head away. She thought about telling him that she was actually a princess, but this... was just too good to ruin at the moment. She just grinned at him and waited for him to lead on. I'm sure we will love it. She added giving Obsidian a nudge and a soft smile. Wouldn't we? Obsidian just looked at her and replied Oh yeah, we are going have a fucking blast. Once the carriage rode off Obsidian turned to Midir and said We need to get you a dress and me some nice attire. About half a day away there is a nice tailor. We will stop by the tailor and get us some wear for the party. She looked at him, with a look of sheer unamusement. I am not, no i refuse to wear a dress. She snapped at him before narrowing her eyes at him. She didn't want to, and never will wear one of those restricting coffins made of cloth. They are impractical and look uncomfortable. Obsidian sighed and looked at her saying Please don't make this hard on me, I really just want to have some fine dining and a super comfortable bed. The party will only be like 2 hours. Please just wear the dress for a couple hours. She narrowed her eyes at him, giving him a deathly glare as she rolled the thoughts around in her head and shrugging. We're burning the dress afterwards. She said to him before sighing. We should probably by a mat though or something, as we're most likely going ot be put into one room. Fine we will burn the dress afterwords. Also don't worry about the room thing, I will just request separate rooms for us. I am not sleeping on the floor, and I would not make a lady sleep on the floor either. Obsidian replied. He then continued to travel with her. Eventually they where able to pass the boarder and make it into his Kingdom. At a mountain top he pointed to a large city in the distance There, that is not the captial, but the tailor and Lord Lakem live in that city. Heheh Lady. She chuckled before glancing over her shoulder to the road behind them, and then they were off again. Her horse clopping along with him on the path. Such a gentleman. She commented before taking in a deep breath as she saw the city, it was certainly a good sight to see. It is rather impressive. He looked to her and replied to her first comment saying Well Dragon or not your still a lady. With that they where at the city. He then smiled at her comment and said Wait until you see the capital. This city is called Garden Valley. Let us go to the tailor. With that Obsidian was taking Midir through the streets of the city until they arrived at the Tailor. He then tied his horse up outside of the house along side Midir. The tailor in here has made many outfits for my family. Please be kind to her... and just say we are getting married to make this whole thing easier. I just want a nice dinner and bed. Obsidian asked her. Garden Valley She glanced at him before raising an eyebrow at her, I'll come up with something else, as that would most likely just cause rumours to spread. She said to him as she dismounted from the steed and adjusted her coat before walking into the tailors. She took in everything there, the silk the clothes on display and materials just lying around. Slowly she approached the tailor. Erm hi, i would like to purchase a custom made... dress.. for a nice dinner. Best not... I already told Sir Lakem that story. It is an easy and quick explanation, we don't even have to act like lovers. The last thing we need is a bunch of different information flying around. It will be hard to cover up what I have done if we do that. Just go along with the story. Trust me, the last thing I want is to marry you Obsidian told Midir before the entered the building. The tailor turned to her and saw Obsidian next to her and Squealed OH MY! YOU BROUGHT A LADY WITH YOU!. She was a older woman, in her late forties. She then turned to Midir and bowed saying Well my lady I will make sure you have the best dress at the the Ball tonight! That maid Obsidian raise an eye brow Ball... I thought is was a random party. The tailor then shook her head saying Nope is is the Ball of the Winters Coming. Nobles from all over will be coming! That made Obsidian face palm. Midir smiled at her before just raising her hand. Give me one second. She turned to Obsidian and smiled, her hands closing around the sides of his coat or shirt and pulled him dangerously close to her face. She hissed, You told me this would be a freaking party.. i was hoping on wearing this dress for an hour or two, but a ball that's not just a few hours.. that's a whole evening. You better... better! Think of a way to make this up to me bucko. She stared into his eyes before quickly turning around to the tailor and smiled, as if nothing had happen. Excellent i trust your skilled hand, and please call me Midir. Fine I will make it up to you I will let you sleep in the empty room next to mine rather than in the dungeon when we get to the capital. I think that is a good deal Obsidian whispered back to her. With that Obsidian was letting the tailor take over. The tailor smiled at Midir's introduction and said Please call me Linda Lady Midir. Now come with me I am so excited to dress you The tailor then took Midir into the other room and help her remove the fur coat and clothing that Obsidian had given her. Oh what a lovely body! No wonder Lord Obsidian is interested in you! And don't worry I have the perfect matching outfit for you and him to wear! With that she whisked out of the room and came back in with a beautiful red dress encrusted with diamonds and other Jewels. Here you go, this is one of my greatest works. I Think it will look great with your fire red Hair Linda said handing her the dress. Even the belt was made of precious jewels. Image of the dress Midir gave Obsidian a disapproving look even after all of this she was going to go back into a dungeon. Fucking perfect.... Shaking her head she followed Linda into the rooms. That.. erm thank you? Kind of makes Obsidian sound like a pervert slightly but.. thank you. She gave her a slight smile. Glancing at the dress, she smiled at her. It is beautiful.. erm. She took it and waited for a moment before trying the dress on, taking a few minutes to get in to it.... God she hated these things. Well.. She said as she awkwardly stood there in the dress. How does it look? The tailor laughed and replied Every man wants a beautiful woman. That is no secret, I am sure Obsidian would like a beautiful woman to. It doesn't make someone a pervert. Once she got on the dress Linda squealed saying It looks absolutely beautiful. Here just put this around your shoulders and you will look perfect! Linda then put a red silk clothes around her shoulders. There now you look like a princess! Linda said. Then an older child came out of the other room and said Oh mommy who is that Beautiful lady! The girl was walking on a crutch, and one of her legs was missing. She limped over to Midir and said Wow your super pretty! Linda smiled and walked over to her and said Lady Midir this is my Daughter Chelsea Midir watched the cloth be placed upon her shoulders and adjusted herself a little as she felt the smooth fabric on her shoulders. I'm glad that someone thinks so. She mumbled and look over to the younger girl, watching her approach. It's nice to meet you Chelsea. She gave a slight smile before brushing some of her red hair from her face and bowed ever so slightly to the young girl, her eyes flicking from the crutch to where the leg should be. Midir began to think that why no one has healed her yet, it was custom among her people that those who were injured were given treatment, otherwise they cannot benefit anyone. Does she work here with you? Linda smiled at Midir's reply. She then turned to the girl and said Lord Obsidian is in the other room this is his date for tonight's ball. The girls face lite up at the mention of Obsidian and she squealed in joy before limping her way to the other room to see Obsidian. Once she was out of the room Linda turned to Midir and replied saying Yes, she is my daughter. About 4 years ago there was a dragon attack on this city. Not many but enough to cause problems. She was in a building that was on fire. The building collapsed and completely crushed her leg. Her leg was crushed so bad that it detached from her. One of the 4 dragons attacked then went after her but Obsidian came and saved her. He then rushed her to a healer. Because her leg was crushed and destroyed the healers where not to to reattach it. Though they where able to stop the bleeding and save her. Human healers that can re-grow limbs are very hard to come by and expensive. Even a tailor for the royal family like me cannot afford one. So I make sure she has everything and give her the best life possible. She then whipped a tear from her eye before conitnuing Obsidian is always nice to her when he stops by, to us he is a hero. So many of this kingdom see him as our hero. He is our strongest dragon slayer. Though as the woman dating him you probably already know this. Midir stood there listening to the story before biting her tongue, she couldn't help but think that half the story had been told there... something must have happened to get the other side involved, either that or they were fanatics. I see... i am sorry to hear that... She turned around and began to fiddle with a diamond to pluck it from the dress carefully, the gleaming gem now resting in the palm of her hand. Staring into it she decided it was best, if it was ever to get out what she was.. it would be better to show that they could help. One random act of kindness at a time. A hero... yes he certainly sounds like it.. She cupped her hand together and breathed into it for a moment before turning back to her. She now presented to a gleaming gemstone that glowed a faint white light. Have your daughter sleep with this stone for one night. It'll.. get her her leg back, it just might take a few days for nerves to connect and for it to wake up so to speak. Regrowing limbs was simple enough, being an embodiment of magic it was taught rather early on. Just trust me, this will work Linda. Thank you, she has a hard life ahead of her.... but me and her father are doing our best to make sure she will be successful Linda replied to her. Then Linda listen to her reply about Obsidian, which made her raise an eyebrow. Not a usual response, most woman would have been ecstatic about going to a ball with Obsidian. Though her reaction was far less than that. She was about to question Midir about it, until Midir offered her the gem and healing for her child. She looked at her with tears in her eyes and shock before saying OH my Gosh! Are you sure!. She then took the jewel from Midir and nodded I will do what you say... even if you didn't I can see why he choose you. You have such a generous kind heart. Midir gave her a smile before looking down at the dress. So do i stay in this or do i have to get changed at the venue? She asked her before taking in a deep breath as she looked down at herself and fiddled with the hem of the bit sof the dress for now and glanced back at her. Yeah.. She added in response to her final statement, nto really wanting to go into much more about Obsidian, though she didn't see that the people were happy with him having killed so many of her own kind. You can decide that part for yourself. The manor is only a 20 minute horse ride from here and the ball doesn't start for another 8 hours as it is still morning. So feel free to change. Linda told her prepared to help her get undressed. Midir held her hand up, to stop her from helping and bent down, touching her toes with the tips of her fingers, slowly she began to rise, as she did a purple smoke moved around her obscuring her frame and form before the smoke dissipated into the air, and she was wearing the fur coat and travelling clothes. I think this will do for now, and i will change when i am there. How much do i owe you for the dress? She asked as she began to head out of the changing room, stuffing the red egg shaped stone necklace down the coat that she was closing, glancing over to Obsidian and Linda's daughter if she had gone to see him. Linda clapped and smiled as Midir changed using her magic though when she asked how much for the dress Linda shook her head We send the bill to the Royal family, don't even asked silly. You act like you don't even know who your going out with tonight. Honestly if you keep acting this way people may get suspicious. I don't know what you two are hiding but since you and obsidian have both helped my daughter I will keep my mouth shut. My advice is the only way I can thank you, I hope it is enough Lady Midir With that Chelsea was coming back into the room. Lord Obsidian is waiting, he wants to know if everything is okay! She smiled and headed back, smiling towards Obsidian. Nice people. She said to him before running a hand through, and re-braiding her red hair. She took what Linda said and thought about this, the thoughts stewing into ideas, all that would come to the surface eventually she was sure of that. Obsidian nodded in return and said Yes they are very nice people. Now lets get going. I want to nap before the ball starts Obsidian then escorted Midir outside before waiving goodbye to the two ladies. He then got back onto his horse and asked Midir is she was ready to go. He then rode with her to the large estate where they would be staying. On the way he asked So how did the dress turn out? Midir rolled her eyes as she followed him out and just climbed onto her horse. She wasn't in the mood to answer his first statement. It was a nice dress, she's a skilled tailor. She commented further, and she meant it it was rare to find such a skilled tailor out there. Her daughter was rather nice as well... And people are going to continue to think that we're engaged. She mentioned last. She is a very skilled tailor Obsidian responded. He then listened to her last statement before responding Yes I know, once we get the capital we will work on the cover up. Just tell people things didn't work out between us or you died or something like that so don't worry you won't be forced into marrying me. Obsidian reassured her. Once they arrived at the manor they where greeted by a butler who said Welcome my lord and my Lady. Lord Lakem has informed me of your arrival. We have a room ready for you to share Obsidian then spoke up saying No we would like separate rooms, until we are married we are not sharing a bed. The butler than nodded and bowed Forgive me I will make sure to give her the room next to yours please follow me With that the butler was now taking them into the estate. She smiled at the butler before bowing her head low, causing a few strands of her ed hair to move into her face as she did so. We thank you for your effort though. It was considerate of you. She walked at Obsidian's side as they made their way through the manor, though she was thankful to get to her room in which she moved inside without much of another word, closing it behind her with a click. She looked around the well decorated room, not taking note of what decorations there were before she just flopped onto the bed, happy to have at least a little bit of distance now between her and him. The butler smiled and stated as they walked I do my best to please our guest my lady. Obsidian sighed in relief as Midir entered her bedroom shutting the door behind her. As soon as he was shown his room right next to their he followed suit, quickly laying down on the bed and passing out for the next 7 hours. In those seven hours Midir didn't too much, she just seemed to lay on the bed for a while then tried sitting in the window sill and looking over the gardens, just before moving to lay back down on the bed. It was only when the clock dinged she rose up and stretched, she could hear quite clearly the murmurs of people who arrived early and snapped her fingers as she got the dress back on. She pulled on some longer gloves to cover her arms, and tied her hair into a neat bun before looking at herself in the mirror. Thankfully the dress mostly covered the boots she would be wearing, she wasn't going to suspend herself on fine platforms. She moved from the door, opening it and closing it behind her with a neat click. As the clock rang Obsidian himself had woken up. he put on a nice red, gold and white outfit using his magic. After that he stepped out seeing Midir and smiled before saying You look beautiful Midir, I know you hate wearing it so thank you. I had a great nap and am looking forward to a wonderful dinner. He then looped his arm through Midir's and escorted her downstairs to the ball. As they walked in the crowd of nobles grew silent then bowed before them. Everyone in awe of Midir's beauty, and actually seeing Obsidian bring a date to the ball. Obsidian's outfit I didn't ask... but that's good to hear.. She gave him a slight smile and watched as they got down to the ball before looking over them all. I suddenly feel very uncomfortable. She muttered before looking around, So what do we do? Do we dance or do we just talk? Obsidian replied saying Well I was trying to be nice, hoping to start this evening off right but hell... As they walked through the crowds he heard her mention how she was uncomfortable and he replied That makes two of us Hearing her asked what to do he then said Well We eat, dance and talk to people. Honestly I am here for the eating so lets start off with that. He then escorted Midir to the buffet, where he got a plate for both of them and began to pick out food from the bountiful buffet before them. Though as they picked out food Lord Lakem and his wife came up and said hi to them Well hello My Lord, I am so happy you and your fiance could make it. Obsidian then turned around and said Oh yes, I wasn't able to introduce you last time, but this is Midir. Lakem and his wife then bowed before Midir and said Its nice to meet you My lady, I am Lord Lakem and this is my wife Helena. Midir looked at the food and placed some on a plate carefully, examining the pattern on the plate for a moment though she was taken away from her observations before looking over at the people coming. Oh eheh not fiance yet just.. courting i suppose is the correct term Obsidian. She gave him a smile and placed a strawberry in her mouth before looking at the others again. Nice to meet you both though, it truly is a pleasure. Lakem and his wife chuckled at her reply and said Oh well I never would have guessed Prince Obsidian would have trouble getting a woman. Obsidian then looked at him and replied Oh you have no idea. That made them laugh. Anyways we are happy the thrown has stayed true to the religion of the land. Just 20 years ago we thought that God had abandoned us, then the Ebon Angel showed up. Destroying entire Villages of dragon's, crushing the young ones and women before they could create more. Just when we where against the ropes he swooped in. I say God is on our side, not the side of those heartless monsters. Those beast have no souls, no emotions, they just kill us humans for their own amusement. Though Obsidian put his hand up realizing what he was saying would surely upset Midir and honestly he didn't want to have a problem. Honestly I am here to relax and enjoy the entertainment for the evening. I would rather leave work at work. I am thankful to God and the help he has sent us from above, but please tonight I want to focus on other things if you don't mind. Lakem then bowed before him and apologized before leaving them. Midir tensed her jaw as she stared at Lakem remaining unamused, he had no idea. She had seen it there, how this thing acted and behaved how they all wined and dined over the fact that her people were being slaughtered, innocent people that had done nothing but tried to survive... She continued to stare at them as they left before placing the plate down. I'm not hungry.. She muttered before letting her long red hair down, out of the stupid bun.
