2020-12-25 13:50:37It was obvious Elise had very mixed feelings about the whole situation. As she looked into his eyes she was upset but also wasn't sure if it was his fault, her fault or really either of their faults for that matter.
"I guess I should apologize to them and hear the whole story. I'll prepare more food for everyone else as well. Although tomorrow we will have to go out and get more."
"They will only be here for a few days. I would definitely prefer to keep things peaceful while they are staying here." Smiled Christopher.
Christopher went back to the living room area to find everyone still standing looking on edge. The way they were standing someone would half expect they were terrified to sit down, almost as if they expected the furniture they chose to sit on to blow up or a blade to come shooting across the room and beheading them.
"Will you all relax. Gods you're making me anxious and I'm in my own home. I promise that she's not going to come out

The entire group was stunned. No one had any idea of this happening apart from Vanessa who had been Sarah's closest confidant for her entire life. The night that had happened Vanessa had stayed up for hours trying to console the princess as she cried her eyes out. She allowed her to cry that night until her eyes were red and swollen and eventually she was finally able to fall asleep. The next morning she was called unsightly by her own father and was forced to have breakfast in her room, a few bites into her food she could no longer contain her sadness and began to cry all over again. Her fathers cruelty seemed to know no limits. Vanessa was enraged for Sarah. It took everything she had not to rush into the throne room and drive a blade into the part of his body that the heart should be, although she questioned if the bastard actually had one. Thankfully the wedding planning had not yet truly begun. Sarah decided to go visit her oldest sister whom she was very close to

Everyone was stunned. Just how arrogant and shameless could a member of the royal family be!? Even Garrett was unable to keep his silence. ""I Should have Splattered his fucking brains." He said through grit teeth. Sarah walked over and put her hand on his hand trying to sooth his anger. "You can't protect me 24/7 you know." For the moment he refused to meet her eyes and just looked at the ground the feeling of shame weighing down upon him. Clearly frustrated with his own limitations. He didn't respond but nod his head to her. She smiled at him gently and gave him a hug. "You truly are the best cousin someone can ask for." She said. This managed to get a smile out of him, although he still didn't raise his head. "I can see how that would definitely force someone to speed up their plans a little faster." Elise admitted sympathetically. As a woman she could definitely sympathise with what happened. "He didn't manage to do anything, you g

"Yea... Something like that" Christopher said with a sullen look. Garrett wasn't surprised by any means when he heard the response. With Christopher's skills there was no doubt in his mind. He either was a soldier or an assassin. It was easy to see he was used to killing. Garrett's only concern is that he may be a little to comfortable with killing. The other thing that Garrett could not wrap his head around was how young he was. The empire at times could be cruel and merciless but no one would set foot on the battlefield unless they were at least 18. There was the occasional mercenary company they would employ that might have one or two people under the age but they usually would avoid companies that used children to fill numbers. "How long did you fight? How old are you ?" Garrett couldn't help but to ask him. He honestly had many questions for Chris but did not want to push to hard. "Wow quite a few personal questions don't you think?" Christopher chuckled. Garret

"When we leave, would you be willing to come with us?" Garrett asked. Only for a moment that Garrett had not noticed a devious smile crossed Christopher's lips but was gone faster then it had appeared. Elise hurried back into the stair well quietly. Listening to their conversation. Her heart rate beginning to elevate. "Is Garret up there?" Sarah asked. Elise quickly turned to her lifting a finger to her lips to silence the princess, and pointed up. Quickly she turned her attention back to what the men were saying. "You want me to come with you?" Christopher laughed "You guys must be desperate asking someone like me to come along." After a minute of Garrett staring holes through him he realized that Garret was being serious. What made this man entrust something so important to him. Shit if they had fought side by side during the war Christopher could understand but they had been enemies! There was no bond, no trust to base any of this off of. What woul

Elise spent a moment listening to the two laughing before she decided now was as good a time as any to walk in on them. Although she felt bad for eavesdropping on the other the subject did have to do with her so there was no need to apologize for it. Sarah seemed to be feeling the same, she had stayed quiet and rooted to that spot for the duration of their conversation listening closely to their every word. Elise waved with her hand and stepped out onto the roof top. this time she was certain to make her presence known before they could start up on anymore private conversations. "Ahem are you two running low on drink yet ?" She asked emerging from the starewell. "AHA my sweet angel of salvation!" Garrett looked in their direction then back to Christopher and Whispered to him. "I'll speak with her about it." Christopher nod to him and said nothing more on the subject. He then drunkenly rolled his head to face the two women coming out onto the r

After Garrett regained control of himself from Sarah trying to kill him with laughter they both sat enjoying the view for a moment longer, it was rare they got to spend time together just the two of them anymore, since back when they were children really. "It really is a great view. Elise told me earlier her and Christopher love coming up here almost every night to see the stars. I can understand why they're so partial to it." Sarah said. She then turned to Garrett " Thank you cousin. I truly am grateful for everything you are doing. You have thrown everything away everything to help me, and I will never forget that." "Don't worry about it. I already owe you one, This is the least I can do for you." He smiled After Sarah and Garrett finished reminiscing on the roof they moved back into the house. Braum who had already shed his weapons and armor saw Garrett and waved him over and went to show him to their room. Sarah was on the way to her room when she p

Sarah and her entourage took a minute of silence to recover and recompose themselves after having valiantly charged in on Elise and Christopher having sex. The men wished them good night and moved to their own room, as Sarah and Vanessa put on their pajamas and prepared for bed. They were in for quite a pleasant surprise, when they saw the room that was prepared for them. It was very spacious brightly painted walls, some paintings decorated the walls, and a king size bed. Surprisingly everything was up to date and the blankets, pillows, and sheets seem to all be made from the finest materials both Sarah and Vanessa sprawled spread eagle on the bed with room to spare still, they could have invited Christopher and Elise to accompany them after all, and still have room to spare. "Oh this feels like heaven!" " You know I haven't felt this comfortable since I was forced to leave my old bedroom in the palace. Not just physically, but mentally as well." Sarah wh

"Marry me" "Huh?" Vanessa was struck dumb. His expression still dead serious. After a slight pause though his face returned to the Aloof air head look. "Well think on it! Any ways I gotta run!" he waved his hand over his shoulder as he ran off like a child late for school. Although in reality he technically was going to school. Although this time not to attend classes. Vanessa was still standing in the kitchen unmoving. 'Did that really just happen? I mean mom did always say food was the fastest way to a mans heart' In this moment Sarah and Elise both entered the kitchen when the front door closed. Elise followed her nose to the stove. She stared in awe mouth watering for a moment before she grabbed a spoon and took a bite, her face turned to pure delight then quickly frowned then delight again the process repeating until she finished swallowing the food. It was then she glanced over at Vanessa. "Oh good morning Vanessa, What's going on

"They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed.

Thunk.... Thunk..."Riggy... Any day now..""Y-You d-don't rush perfection!" Mortis groaned as his nerves were being grated against by a rather pushy spirit. "E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!" Elise roared flapping her arms up and down like they were wings.Fwee!As though on cue an arrow zipped between their faces, mere millimeters from giving Mortis a nose piercing he didn't wish for....."S-See not that bad.." He stood his ground glaring back at Elise who could only return his gaze with wild eyed disbelief.Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success. But by the gods the more I was stuck in the presence of that asshole, the more I want to feed his head to a thousand small animals. Just gotta hope th

"HAHAHA JUSTICE SHALL BE DELIVERED!" Vale cried out as though she were a poor soul who had been denied justice by the courts for far too long.BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!The ground erupted all around both the twins and the behemoth of a Vampire. The girls quickly turned their backs to one another taken by surprise, readying themselves as best they could considering their injuries. Their eyes caught a glimpse of a creature emerging from the earth, and it was almost instant. The pair blinked and by the time their eyes opened the massive beings were already hovering well above their heads."You've got to be shitting me." Lala mumbled."If she could do this, It would've been nice of her to have done something sooner." Laura huffed her arm dangling limp by her side.Though still on edge the twins felt they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The pair took several steps back returning behind their friendly lines.

RAAAWR! A roar ripped through the caverns as the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Many people from both sides of the battle looked around trying to find what kind of ferocious beast could emit such a blood curdling sound. "I haven't heard a roar like that in thousands of years." "I've never heard that kind ever!" Their eyes scanned the surroundings. Looking side to side, up around the cavern ceiling, only to find nothing. The monstrous sound was far to loud for anyone to mistakenly assume they had just imagined it. The rumbling earth began shaking harder and harder although you couldn't physically see any movement, the people could feel the movements underneath their feet from whatever was coming, like a slithering serpent snaking it's way through the grass. It felt as though the very earth beneath their feet may collapse at any moment. If anyone in the vicinity were to claim the gods were angered and unleashing their fury on the city, many wouldn't doubt the w

This day and age when someone says an army they think professional soldiers, fighting and killing is their bread and butter, it's what they train for, it's what they're paid for. Their job consists of nothing besides honing those skills. Training and searching for a way to improve upon the ability to kill, to take the life of another human being. But there's times where an army consists of ordinary people, every day people. Bakers, smiths, teachers, sometimes even the students, people you who have never seen combat, mix these people in with some trained soldiers who're willing to advise and educate these people, and at times these armies can be just as dangerous as the professional ones. When you have a reason to fight, whether it's for a better life, to protect someone, to make a name, for your country, even if for a moment it places you at odds with it, you can become a force that's mighty. With no identifying uniform, the enemy will never know when they're about to strike. A man,
