Thread: Rise of The Mercenary King (MasterOfWhispers and Fancy_Brat)

The room was filled with chattering. Hawk and his first two brides were left standing at the altar, having already been married, but the third and final bride was nowhere to be seen. In the time they were waiting, Remelia and Mimi did get a chance to exchange some words. Remelia did most of the talking though, mainly trying to get an idea of what Mimi's life with the neko tribe was like compared to hers. She didn't want to compare them to animals really, though their practices and way of establishing status and order wasn't too far off from packs. Plus, Remelia was getting a chance to help out Mimi with her speech. In the middle of their conversation, Eliza had gone to break the news to Hawk, who didn't seem all that pleased. With her sharp sense of hearing, Mimi could easily hear her words. Vanished... she repeated softly. What...? Princess Fiorina is missing? This was far different from some situations where the bride and groom would run off though. After all, along with the rest of the Elf Kingdom of Tir, the selected maiden, Princess Fiorina, had been set on this marriage as well. There really was no reason for her to run off, but all pondering was interrupted as a sudden voice filled the air. Remelia and Mimi turned to witness the woman walking up to them. Though Hawk had been readying his blade, Mimi didn't quite feel like she had to react just yet. Plus, it wouldn't be easy trying to fight in that wedding dress. Remelia of course wasn't combat savvy, mainly specializing in support and medicines if anything. Then again, this woman was quite a character claiming to be the Goddess of Fertility and Love. Whether it was a jest or not, the crowd was in quite a panic since the marriage ceremonies had been put on hold right now. As this little act went on, Remelia and Mimi were both feeling a little skeptical about her. In the teachings of the Holy Order, there was indeed a Goddess of Fertility and Love named Fiona, but was this how she was supposed to be? The crowd was soon silenced with Hawk's demand for proof of the woman's identity. Though she didn't really provide anything tangible, she would use other means by placing a vision in the minds of Hawk and his brides. Ugh...the nerve of that woman! How dare she imprison me like this! The voice of the young princess would sound in their minds as well, and the image of Princess Fiorina in her cage would become much clearer. As with Remelia and Mimi, she was in her wedding dress as well. It would appear she had been taken before she could make her walk down the aisle. Fiona's claim wasn't all that odd. The Elves were a beautiful race overall with their appearances and gifts thought to be a divine gift. With this in mind, the royal family would hold a lot of favor to the gods. The blue light soon appeared in the center of the room for all to see, but of course, only Hawk and his brides would be able to pass through. A medical staff had been handed over to Remelia, while Mimi had decided to not carry anything else with her. Though it would be a little odd moving around in this dress, she was confident in using her own skills in case she had to defend herself. The two looked at him with an equal sense of urgency. They had met with the princess before, knowing how spoiled she was, but they could not overlook the fact she could be in serious danger. We shouldn't waste any more time, Hawk. Let's go. Remelia was the first to talk, looking quite serious. Mimi would speak next. We'll help her... She kept it nice and short.
