"Find Emperor Kyro!" 689Please respect copyright.PENANAaanTKjNpaT
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlE0BZWwLkZ
A chill ran through their spines the moment they heard the Grand Marshall yell of help. It made them shudder as a freezing cold wind would wake someone, blood ran cold and a bead of sweat dripped down their faces, They bolted and scattered, not one guard would dare sit there helpless not acknowledging of what to do, they rushed excessively scared to even recall.689Please respect copyright.PENANAiKCqB2Loei
689Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ew1PRb6m
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"689Please respect copyright.PENANAH2tSSOqZBP
689Please respect copyright.PENANAmv1w9c4oEy
The shouting was fury within the air, a way to take the anger from the Grand Marshall and transfer the tension in all of the guards. He didn't just raise his voice, his muscles tensed and he got mightily in close for maximum impact. After that they would give in, discovering the left behinds of the fur that laid unknowingly near one of the passage ways.689Please respect copyright.PENANAIJJK616BKG

Their greasy, graying skin split like tree bark. Wiry black hairs sprouted. Their once kindly colored eyes melted into a heavier, more ruddy color. Their bones maneuvered under his skin like mechanical snakes; audible cracks sliced through the guards. Each shifted into a scruffy hairy beast. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAWZAn5orBOt
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZEbwWIjoPw
Their bodies managed to spike filled hairs, noses swiveled into snouts, mouths ajar and snarled with huge canines, their clothes ripped into several pieces thinned out with their tensed spines, Claws as long and enormous enough to shed some blood, their hands pivoted into roughed patches of lathered paws.689Please respect copyright.PENANA97f3SDrBDF
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2hANMqAuS1
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.689Please respect copyright.PENANAN6fksgKySI
689Please respect copyright.PENANAm1gQuJpsrK
Ahead of them, posed a high mighty Alpha, thickened fur filled with inkiness, paws bigger than the rest of the wolves, hair raised within its back, and a piece of its ear sliced, the snout embezzled with scars. A day, had passed since the king hadn't returned since the storm had given a roaring violent weather. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAykPhnPvD6M
689Please respect copyright.PENANATh7AigELMZ
Amid the starlight, the ever glow of the moon, that mother of the sky whom spectated over every beating heart, steady and true, They awaited their orders, hoping that as night had fallen, will their intentions run wild.
**
The egg yolk sun poured through the cracks in the blind and awaited entrance into my eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, I hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with a bit of success. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAhH643AREJ7
689Please respect copyright.PENANAilkWEi2cEn
Endeavor and Beau accompanied by the edges of the bed, as the maidens cleaned the dirt spots bequeathed onto the floor.
Upon waking, I burrowed myself into the warm, soft sheets. I rubbed the remainders of sleep from my eyes and gazed out at the horizon; its vivid light extended across a rosy sky. I supposed this was something the majority of people would consider beautiful, but I found it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in something so every-day. It's not like the sun wouldn't rise, it had, after all, been reliably happening since the beginning of time.
"Your majesty, the Emperor had told me, it is time for you to undergo some breakfast with the emperor once again."689Please respect copyright.PENANAtJKlvCUzw3
689Please respect copyright.PENANA3FszTxYI6y
Beau had mentioned before clutching the sheets within her hands and pulling it down leisurely, I rolled my head a bit to gaze up towards Beau and Endeavor. perking upright, my hair drooping onto my shoulders.
I face to the left where Beau had stood, but as I rub my eyes to take away the blurred vision of tiredness. I nodded, before inching myself to the edge of the bed, where the maidens had taken their time, getting me prepared for the breakfast.689Please respect copyright.PENANA3H1ji8qTg7
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAlKdHvE7Nr
I stood tall whilst my back straightened, I wore the tightened creamy sheets of the silk dress that slipped onto my shoulders, peppering my body with soft, sensual kisses. Like a lover, it seduced the senses and conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing.689Please respect copyright.PENANAGTDPxGxhdB
689Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ucUDFqhT
my hair, irked back with a slim bun curled within its bottom, The maidens rendered their best to persuade on prepping me with makeup, but to my liking, I insisted I had stayed as a natural beauty.
"You look beautiful, your majesty"
uttered Endeavor, smiling, I could've said I envision myself as the same person, but it would lose some of my confidence.689Please respect copyright.PENANAMAaShMZno9
689Please respect copyright.PENANAukP3UmQfxv
I gave a subtle sigh, where I had smiled, yet the smile is the prettiest thing I've done in a while, for it extends to my eyes and deep within my soul. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAr7SSjK09Bf
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9EYSjw6Jay
A knock came, and the door had suddenly swung open, there stood a man that I had either despised nor loved, The figure perked and revealed itself other than hiding behind the gigantic doors. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAHlFPU2nXUM
689Please respect copyright.PENANArtb0Z1Rexd
"You look lovely as always, Empress."689Please respect copyright.PENANAPAEfGqvLjj
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlfUKgMtAqm
His voice hushed against his throat, as if he was hiding his enduring compliments within his folds, I observed his boots tapping against the pavement of the floor, his grimaced face, even when he approaches me, I could feel the subtle hatred protruding out of him.
I gawked an eye to him, where he approached me close as ever, then as his figure had towered before me, another figure stood within its way, Lady Ophelia perched by the door way, her smile, the brightest whilst within the room.689Please respect copyright.PENANAaq0FCjFW37
689Please respect copyright.PENANA87y30ZV3Di
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."689Please respect copyright.PENANAAdIlz9FCDE
689Please respect copyright.PENANAj9OYkLWS7z
I muttered, I glared upwards towards his icy blue eyes, then towards Lady Ophelia's life like amethyst eyes. I could see, their smug expressions hidden away from a mask.
He contorted his lips into an faked, toothy smile, but his cheeks were not so compromising. He could feel their reluctance to be moulded falsely. When I finally averted my gazed his smile fell lifeless, allowing his face to return to its usual cold hard gawk.
"You finally took into consideration of my taste."689Please respect copyright.PENANAbI51Ub8y1T
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfEC9kT1f6W
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."689Please respect copyright.PENANAOyIDYCG8CV
689Please respect copyright.PENANAu7A462H8nk
I bluntly said to him, before his same old faked toothy smile, gleamed from around his face, he pulled out a box from the pockets of his tunic, hiding inside of it, an emerald-like jewel, sacredly resting onto a soft covered cushion.689Please respect copyright.PENANAy3e4sAm69h
689Please respect copyright.PENANAgL1YfQ5ebg
"How considerate of you."689Please respect copyright.PENANA8zPmL0CuEw
689Please respect copyright.PENANAh7VFswBu2D
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."689Please respect copyright.PENANAB6jk32o2iN
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwquWKUsAFD
He stated, continuing to flash his unruly smile.
I peeked from over his shoulder to figure Lady Ophelia, with the same gleaming facial expression she had whilst entering the room, She proceeded perched at the door, her intentions to discover me take the necklace.689Please respect copyright.PENANAa2cQR0l8Qu
689Please respect copyright.PENANArCXe1Pjt0b
"I see, I'll take it."689Please respect copyright.PENANAJp3i17Uj3z
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5cm7eNBmPZ
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.689Please respect copyright.PENANAcEfTT85pPF
689Please respect copyright.PENANAoRog3Y4r8f
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."689Please respect copyright.PENANAgb6w9AckLM
689Please respect copyright.PENANAyQXXqg5RCZ
As i approach the small cushioned box, I focus onto the Emperor before he had left with Lady Ophelia, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.689Please respect copyright.PENANAnzdEJUiVlT
689Please respect copyright.PENANAX5XSi0EppX
Had I listened to it correctly? Why had he suddenly uttered my name? He had never done that before, yet to address me as Hera, we hadn't addressed each other of our first names since we were young ins.

The moment I slide into my chair I'm served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sits in ice to keep it chilled. The basket of rolls they set before me would keep me filled. Then, There's an elegant glass of orange juice.
"You're wearing the necklace."689Please respect copyright.PENANAnBOeayLpki
"I am, since it would be quite of a waste to not use it as a gift from Lady Ophelia, and the Emperor to the Empress."689Please respect copyright.PENANAMTJC5fQ4pg
"I see."689Please respect copyright.PENANAH7EMl4iTzI
I gingerly cut a fried potatoes and placed the oily chunk in my mouth, with each nibble I took, His eyes traced around my hands.
Yet, from the back of my mind, I couldn't erase the worried expression, The weariness I received every time I think of that wolf, and from the bearing manner from the Emperor, gave a sudden mein of curiosity.689Please respect copyright.PENANAznqa4rolYb
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzjggO8fgaV
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."689Please respect copyright.PENANAGUCLmzrmfN
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfxHnwskyDe
He gently stabs his fork within the scrambled eggs that were left onto his platter, Then he munched it up with his mouth opening every time he chewed, treating me to a view of the partially masticated eggs. Then he gulped it down and without pausing to breathe he took another swinging bite at the scrambled eggs.689Please respect copyright.PENANAjo0cbWfhpt
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcCZq21Ooyq
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.689Please respect copyright.PENANAjctFFbomcp
689Please respect copyright.PENANANImtuInC7z
"Ah, Yes."
I stated, before hovering a napkin to my lips, wiping it down.
Each bite I had gulped down within my throat, reminds me of the gashed wound from the wolf, and from those thoughts, I proceeded reflecting within the back of my mind if that wild dog still living, or if they had detected the wolf within the brush I hid him away from.689Please respect copyright.PENANAqKydcK00AJ
689Please respect copyright.PENANAX98uw2zru4
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.689Please respect copyright.PENANAtrokivslGF
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzxBIaafX1x
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 689Please respect copyright.PENANAAtk8MCE2Je
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsjfzRK5yrL
The Emperor leered up at me from his plate, wholly abolished of almost endearingly terminated food. I peered up at him, where my eyes encountered his, in his eyes I could catch he was concerned, for my well-being.689Please respect copyright.PENANAAauhOHmXsp
A lump caught within my throat, where I couldn't inhale the sweet sensational aroma of the food, without the aroma of blood stained within my senses. The lies over my lips, molded a fake smile, hoping that his mien of oddity was convincing him, I emerge as perfectly fine. I smiled, something within him felt wrong, a little crook over my mouth, driving from deep inside your soul, as a secret never to be spouted.689Please respect copyright.PENANAO3iEZq8O0h
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjAI24Cjzck
"I began feeling bloated, I'll be excusing myself."
Within the half-light of the morning, striding away from the dinette, to where I looked like a shadow, hunched over, turning into a small dot then disappearing within the Emperor's sight, but this time It was my excuse to vamoose, and where the Emperor planted himself onto his cushioned chair, he viewed me depart from him, without uttering a word.689Please respect copyright.PENANAWBd3u97FOO
689Please respect copyright.PENANAO3FZ9821KO
"Would you like more, your majesty?"689Please respect copyright.PENANAx8q1S37FPT
questioned one of the butlers, the Emperor held his hand up, ceasing the butler from adding anymore to his platter, he shook his head before erecting himself from his cushioned seat, where he stood upend like a somewhat fool.689Please respect copyright.PENANA4ig7ZD4NeK
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhA5Gb6ZLTE
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."689Please respect copyright.PENANAXpb0tvuF0L
**689Please respect copyright.PENANACKq4dOMksl
I had yet to make it to the end of the hallways, where I had met the endearingly Endeavor and Beau, situating themselves side by side forging a pathway, their smiles stretched from ear to ear.689Please respect copyright.PENANAPXZABPut6Q
689Please respect copyright.PENANAuuxFsA8X24
"Welcome back your highness."689Please respect copyright.PENANA0fUKm4zKvy
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkO88pB0sFC
Endeavor uttered, as her and Beau's faithful bow had straightened their back, perching into a 90 degree angle, I returned the subtle bow before plopping onto one of the cushioned sofa, that nestled against the embroiled doubled doors near the roman bath.689Please respect copyright.PENANAgAI8pRZQpU
689Please respect copyright.PENANAn0WkYVPGES
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"689Please respect copyright.PENANAxWXQDbmNbe
"Quiet, it was better than I had presumed."
I press my hands against the scalp of my hair, massaging it, as a figure approached me, with a sack of small little desserts that sweetened the aroma around my senses, the sweetened smell coated the stinging wound's aroma.689Please respect copyright.PENANAGbOKiRZ4iX
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8BL16IOJG2
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."689Please respect copyright.PENANA6hvRTmHouT
689Please respect copyright.PENANAOFoSN4fTbQ
She clasps the petite sack of cookies into my hand, as I untie the bow on top of the sack, out came bursting the most freshest scent that filled the whole bedroom, I picked one out, and bit into it, gulping it down as I felt the warmth of chocolate nestle onto the tip of my tongue. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAlVtJcF6ieQ
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8sNaRPgeqI
"These are ravishly delicious."689Please respect copyright.PENANAvWEVjoC4a7
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkqA7vLxRi1
I declared, and then a simple idea had traveled within my mind, Whilst gawking an eye out the window, hoping within the brush the wolf had still been there resting, I should feed it with these freshened baked cookies, I stuff the sack of cookies within my gown.689Please respect copyright.PENANAXQXLkCft4N
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAVqKw5TT1s
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"689Please respect copyright.PENANASq3dzPIUwL
She heeded, viewing outside the window, compressing both of her hands together gently, then facing towards me, where she inadvertently shrugged with a smile etching within her lips, and from my perspective, I could envision it genuine.689Please respect copyright.PENANAZZFMgGJbVR
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9bAVQBl1kp
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"689Please respect copyright.PENANAWUtLq20vni
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvXKnlzBJeX
I shook my head, as my eyes trail up to hers, crinkled within my smile that gleamed back towards hers.689Please respect copyright.PENANAeVqd06fJWZ
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwPp60pUG5E
"I was wondering."689Please respect copyright.PENANAxsyOsQNWDX
