The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 9 authors
"You do not have to continue on if you do not wish. You may find your payment in my bedchamber, a satchel of gold sits beneath my pillow." What was this feeling in her gut? It couldn't be fear, no, Aethyra was not afraid, not of anything. Was it...regret? Regret that he may leave her? Shock apparent on her face, she turned back to face the dark hallway in front of her. "Your duty ends here. If you do not wish to leave on your own, you may wait for me at the guard station, and I shall pay and bid you leave once I return." As she began to walk further into the stale, rotten air, she found herself hoping that he would not leave her. And that scared her more than the darkness could.
Twirling back around, she continued to walk, face red, eyes harsh. Embarrased and angry, curling and uncurling her fists, she strode down through the darkness. How was it that this man could make her so incredibly angry? She never showed this much anger, this much feeling period. Aethyra knew that the only way to make the terrible feelings in her chest would be to distance herself from him. She only hoped that poison-tipped words could keep him far enough away.
She stayed silent, letting the hunter mentality come into her, swiveling her head side-to-side, pupils large as she surveyed every inch of the room. Her eyes looked ethereal, and she tilted her head, trying to pick up on any un-natural sounds. Any worries about Alain, looking odd, or being angry had disappeared from her mind.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, confused as to why she was shaking so. He healed the scratches with a fair bit of magic, yet her guilt remained. She had never hurt another human being before, was that why she was so upset? She had not drawn blood, only scratched his skin a bit, yet she could not bring herself to look at him. Guilt, embarrasment, anger, sadness...she had never felt so many emotions, especially not in a span of a few hours.
"And why aren't you over here instead of over there girl? You were off in the feilds again weren't you? Don't you know you have duties and chores you must do; responsibilities to manage and a kingdom to keep?"
"Yes Ms Hitmit. I'll get back to work again. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Sorry? Sorry? You shun your job and all you have to say is that your are sorry? Parthenia, get your tush here this instant! You have too much to do to stand around talking! Don't you know Madame Slenie's baby will be coming soon and she wants you to be there to help deliever it? Honestly, you are so scattered brained, you'd lose your head if it wasn't fasened onto your shoulders..."
The voice was heard fainting through the halls, muttering things like, "I was never this forgetful... And now a lady wants her help delivering a baby! I can't imagine why though... After all, what help is a little servant girl? Kindness and laugher have never birthed a child. I mean, really... the girl has never deliviered a baby on her own before; hers of anothers! Still needs help to do it... It's a good thing I'm here or this would be a mess...!"
Parthenia looked at David sorrowfully, knowing she had in fact spent too much time slacking off and enjoying herself. That was the lfie of a noble woman, not a servant girl. "I'm sorry," she said to Daniel, looking at her feet, "But I have to go now. Thank you for your time. It was lovely." Then, like a will-o-wisp, Paige scamppered off into the dark halls, vanishing as if she was never there to begin with. She was good at that.
"Yes," she said, her voice softer than it had been before, "a banquet, to celebrate your freedom. Of course. Do you prefer wine or ale? Lamb of pheasant? I should alert the cook." Her teasing was hollow, and awkward, coming from such a straight-laced girl, but it was her attempt at being non-chalant.
Setting
0.00 INK
There was a special reason that Ms Kemon had requested Paige, and this was because of the many times she had attented to her. Always Paige was helpful and kind, which the woman appriciated. When struggling, Paige offered a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and advice if it was ever asked for. She was never judgmental or cruel or unkind with her words nor her actions. Now, after a number of monthes being attentive and caring when Ms Kemon needed her (or didn't need her) it was no real surprise what the simple servant girl had been asked for by name.
It was beginning to get late and Parthenia had just been finishing up the last of her chores, gathering what would be needed for child birth and talking with some of the more experianced maids for advice and encouragment. "The baby is coming!" a frantic maid's voice cried, echoing through the servant's corridor, "The baby is coming!" Word spread quickly and soon Paige as well as a few other ladies rushed to Ms Slenie's chambers.
Her husband, a duke, paced nervously outside the dorr as it was customary the man not come in until his child was born. The poor man; his first child on the way and his wife screaming on the other side of the door... he was at loss for what to do. Paige strayed slightly behind the group and touched the man on the shoulder. Their eyes met and she told him, "Your wife and your child need you to stay strong. Take heart; all with be okay." Duke Slenie's eyes hardened with determination and he nodded before Paige turned and went into the room.

Now I better make a totally new character (And I it took days to come up with something, too!)
Re: Thorns Within the Rose
First of all, if Leon was going to actually kill anyone, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty. If he wanted to teach someone a lesson for crossing him, he wouldn't send a death squad to kill the guys family and force the guy into being a servant. He'd make sure that they were all in the house, lock them inside, and burn it down personally.
Second of all, Leon would have no reason to want the nephew in the first place. The only reason that can even be fathomed would be for an army. His army is loyal, but kidnapped people forced to join an army do not ooze loyalty, so it wouldn't be something that he'd care about. Even if for some reason he did try and force the Nephew into his army, he would have had no reason in not forcing Daniel as well. But again, he would not go to force anyone into an army, as he only wants those most loyal to him in the first place.
I request that you change these things, as they Godmod my character's past into something that would have absolutely no purpose for him. Next time you'd like to create a back story linked to another character like that, it would be common courtesy to ask the owner of whichever character you wish to use in it first. Then come up with something that all parties affect would agree to.
One last thing I'd like to clarify for the whole rp is that Leon has been in charge for about a day. I don't know why everyone seems to act as if he's been ruling for years, if you read the first post the "rumblings of the invasion" is what woke Alaizabel up in the first place. So while everyone seems all set in and acting like they have been this way for years, it has in fact been a day, maybe even a few days at max. I just wished to clarify this so things could actually move on with the same sense of time having past.
Okay, rant should be over now.
