"Find Emperor Kyro!" 559Please respect copyright.PENANAhQiAZfcKc0
559Please respect copyright.PENANAYaV1SSzgVc
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAfG4r8EdU2p
559Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nbv5N5A03
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"559Please respect copyright.PENANA8QWWzRQhZg
559Please respect copyright.PENANAlBlTHfdrZh
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAWMgxRKmpfH
559Please respect copyright.PENANAfrwMo10UlD
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANA92Bp07wz0v
559Please respect copyright.PENANA69NRtfEB8t
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ8NOrYnWX
559Please respect copyright.PENANAgszru6RyXk
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.559Please respect copyright.PENANAaR6H6NBDdH
559Please respect copyright.PENANAw7CrH3sa1t
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANAvQCDQap289
559Please respect copyright.PENANA6HsOqQ4zKT
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Ixj7jqWG
559Please respect copyright.PENANAeHCBbPiKvK
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."559Please respect copyright.PENANAqn6boGAc8w
559Please respect copyright.PENANAKgPQDhVVMU
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAGRZkR6UrNs
559Please respect copyright.PENANAce5xn1pep7
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANABy3tqQMTvq
559Please respect copyright.PENANAMFeEBdKq5p
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAaJhixvzBmt
559Please respect copyright.PENANAMnIP6kGcUS
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANA98U5D5rmuS
559Please respect copyright.PENANAETXPqynEmL
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANA5sKhCwe2GO
559Please respect copyright.PENANA4v2bStRlOC
"You look lovely as always, Empress."559Please respect copyright.PENANASHl6PzbbQl
559Please respect copyright.PENANAq9MLUDDCZr
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANALX7RAzACVC
559Please respect copyright.PENANAy0NCQBvz9i
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."559Please respect copyright.PENANAWg05nqQzvA
559Please respect copyright.PENANAScXK8PPaBH
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."559Please respect copyright.PENANAvObRb4mt56
559Please respect copyright.PENANA55SSvJsmD8
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."559Please respect copyright.PENANAMqiQDo7TOy
559Please respect copyright.PENANAKwyNpIrkC5
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAbHhXteOqbg
559Please respect copyright.PENANAIbjhpb9bF7
"How considerate of you."559Please respect copyright.PENANApwg5ykk9hh
559Please respect copyright.PENANA1A23LuOjZQ
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."559Please respect copyright.PENANA9c3iDv8u3M
559Please respect copyright.PENANAfZnotoeon5
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAn9xVHiY5me
559Please respect copyright.PENANAd0uU0sn5Hl
"I see, I'll take it."559Please respect copyright.PENANAvJL5Ge3RmC
559Please respect copyright.PENANAszTHUTnUOW
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.559Please respect copyright.PENANAfp1QVLj1MY
559Please respect copyright.PENANAitQC5sZpoN
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."559Please respect copyright.PENANARlgLE4f3Vo
559Please respect copyright.PENANAruixvlgjhL
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANA2cUKrabsu1
559Please respect copyright.PENANAGEqH5dAVbk
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."559Please respect copyright.PENANAqTl0bCed6C
"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."559Please respect copyright.PENANAHZfDQVdkDk
"I see."559Please respect copyright.PENANAiFJHLcdc8G
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAjHgCuwpEtE
559Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Ycb3h72l
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."559Please respect copyright.PENANAi69ws9xW2j
559Please respect copyright.PENANAKZMWPs0Mql
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAizCBkAaHO6
559Please respect copyright.PENANA33lI4SrjYz
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.559Please respect copyright.PENANA8pAPsJQw5G
559Please respect copyright.PENANAm5awN2NKRa
"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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAfiuAtwdw8w
559Please respect copyright.PENANA7cTa9NOGOL
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.559Please respect copyright.PENANABSjARZHygt
559Please respect copyright.PENANA6UEwTseQ72
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 559Please respect copyright.PENANAWfDxYl8SQo
559Please respect copyright.PENANAKMQt0N5MTF
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAVquainkxGb
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANARrffhnKpf6
559Please respect copyright.PENANAzKsNLdPdPM
"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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAqDNDvPeHdx
559Please respect copyright.PENANASRnqBF3vKW
"Would you like more, your majesty?"559Please respect copyright.PENANAS3NpLFRHy0
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAAISbXAjNCG
559Please respect copyright.PENANAcTPDFSSgvr
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."559Please respect copyright.PENANA2BLUfbE4lB
**559Please respect copyright.PENANAhfDW7CB8jQ
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANA4IB1DpuoLL
559Please respect copyright.PENANApJGJr0OqkM
"Welcome back your highness."559Please respect copyright.PENANAJWHKbdqN64
559Please respect copyright.PENANARBT9DsPvV6
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAvA6P9a4JYr
559Please respect copyright.PENANABdDINOHOiK
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"559Please respect copyright.PENANAMYXdEaLKC4
"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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAoStyXmmCOB
559Please respect copyright.PENANAyze4V5J5Gj
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."559Please respect copyright.PENANAOEjIYj5sEM
559Please respect copyright.PENANATb8v2pbsSz
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. 559Please respect copyright.PENANAVOInStJqn9
559Please respect copyright.PENANAOjzttERydH
"These are ravishly delicious."559Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ3PNzwOxN
559Please respect copyright.PENANA4xC56yRccw
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANAlzHuTkm3U0
559Please respect copyright.PENANADlHKveZLoc
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"559Please respect copyright.PENANAYuiWD4TZGK
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.559Please respect copyright.PENANATcGIo2t7QJ
559Please respect copyright.PENANAuvcJBW6fxI
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"559Please respect copyright.PENANA9c41XURfl9
559Please respect copyright.PENANAqfyLnjGfUI
I shook my head, as my eyes trail up to hers, crinkled within my smile that gleamed back towards hers.559Please respect copyright.PENANAVLCV4eQ5Fs
559Please respect copyright.PENANAZfCXfQmLG0
"I was wondering."559Please respect copyright.PENANA8EeiJ1U59H
