"Find Emperor Kyro!" 547Please respect copyright.PENANAhMeSTRwmn8
547Please respect copyright.PENANASrWXbIjA5a
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAxl8oKbjMaO
547Please respect copyright.PENANAG93yjtK5l2
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"547Please respect copyright.PENANASVRhfw5mcb
547Please respect copyright.PENANAlxeAVU9dHp
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAGNs60lUy6S
547Please respect copyright.PENANAKQj97mTjON
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANAoJJJTriKYQ
547Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ3OvNGL3d
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAFuzbMedUJf
547Please respect copyright.PENANAcmrrXKM67X
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.547Please respect copyright.PENANAQDMPnth0HU
547Please respect copyright.PENANAPPlCu2zbBL
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANAn3oKayAqY9
547Please respect copyright.PENANAXJG35vgUMK
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANAdfGnBWBKb5
547Please respect copyright.PENANA3H7hh3qkfL
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."547Please respect copyright.PENANAcEgXy8oKRT
547Please respect copyright.PENANAeszg46nLqQ
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAaSBfKYTcf4
547Please respect copyright.PENANApDTaNcxw0f
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAed8Fci3RbQ
547Please respect copyright.PENANAbjbqNtUXzI
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAsZzoZA5Y8G
547Please respect copyright.PENANAq7vPHG7NnZ
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANADzLQw4sCbX
547Please respect copyright.PENANA6sPC1bl1lr
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANASt5w8BxEaP
547Please respect copyright.PENANAmkGiUf1d2k
"You look lovely as always, Empress."547Please respect copyright.PENANAPchjSDD7Kc
547Please respect copyright.PENANAbTKgJ3zRzC
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAs2ZFmsF1tI
547Please respect copyright.PENANABiBHY61emW
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."547Please respect copyright.PENANAg8kXg8qhQg
547Please respect copyright.PENANAe0d4eOvuJw
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."547Please respect copyright.PENANANuj3hqweAa
547Please respect copyright.PENANAP5O8d4Jcel
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."547Please respect copyright.PENANAL5nnVVEpYZ
547Please respect copyright.PENANAs4JWoTiMy5
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANA4KiJhToF73
547Please respect copyright.PENANARqzfKivLkF
"How considerate of you."547Please respect copyright.PENANAc414fwE5OY
547Please respect copyright.PENANAjlp7MfqhSo
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."547Please respect copyright.PENANAGugm5ES0mY
547Please respect copyright.PENANAGWu6lMfUew
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAPe00Fuw4Iz
547Please respect copyright.PENANAcLG5RsO8op
"I see, I'll take it."547Please respect copyright.PENANAgvNyCYI9nK
547Please respect copyright.PENANA2FvZU8HcKA
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.547Please respect copyright.PENANAfRuCiobQ4n
547Please respect copyright.PENANAH8G7Gmlevw
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."547Please respect copyright.PENANABOQXtHg4Dl
547Please respect copyright.PENANAaMC4WbJdv8
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANA7QrNhO9y0o
547Please respect copyright.PENANAHUrc4TFGHO
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."547Please respect copyright.PENANAXoTfTruLtT
"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."547Please respect copyright.PENANAvQxE2R3qdp
"I see."547Please respect copyright.PENANAQSms7A27gj
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAthUfxffbHh
547Please respect copyright.PENANANSWDSkIC5C
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."547Please respect copyright.PENANARekIxyL6P8
547Please respect copyright.PENANAjzOQXaAWMB
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANA39xtoR5m57
547Please respect copyright.PENANAM5GEOYUCk1
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.547Please respect copyright.PENANAYKILCHBY3T
547Please respect copyright.PENANAYu5OKpm0PA
"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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAh5R7A7QVa7
547Please respect copyright.PENANAHigj8vF3aN
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.547Please respect copyright.PENANA4fWPonxkgu
547Please respect copyright.PENANASTcOn0ehec
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 547Please respect copyright.PENANAltsvEA0tc2
547Please respect copyright.PENANAdxWTA734rF
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ozb3QxKnp
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAbavGSPXM8S
547Please respect copyright.PENANAfdLkBba8Hn
"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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAZnJrwtV1fC
547Please respect copyright.PENANACntb7knvWl
"Would you like more, your majesty?"547Please respect copyright.PENANAqAKTYafvQk
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANARXx19p98jW
547Please respect copyright.PENANAs8h0F44cZY
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."547Please respect copyright.PENANAr3yMTIRara
**547Please respect copyright.PENANAm87dbEy66j
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAo6MouQ0DoT
547Please respect copyright.PENANAOi00YdbUcm
"Welcome back your highness."547Please respect copyright.PENANA1qdrYY8QrR
547Please respect copyright.PENANAgqKcoG5cbO
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANADmSh8iN030
547Please respect copyright.PENANAEAHTWyFTmm
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"547Please respect copyright.PENANAWjILpaB1ao
"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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAgsFMWcz9eC
547Please respect copyright.PENANArGrHE8Zzpq
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."547Please respect copyright.PENANAnXilI3Gg4Q
547Please respect copyright.PENANAsVMWVusv4r
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. 547Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZKDoehJN7
547Please respect copyright.PENANA2NHPbXqp5j
"These are ravishly delicious."547Please respect copyright.PENANAiRAagtKGdK
547Please respect copyright.PENANAQVYlNaWz07
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAgeW0E8C2WV
547Please respect copyright.PENANAas2dtKJ2Fy
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"547Please respect copyright.PENANA1I59Xv8YSt
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.547Please respect copyright.PENANAcMW3nyhQSl
547Please respect copyright.PENANAmaPKGnLLSy
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"547Please respect copyright.PENANASWyE9fWNtV
547Please respect copyright.PENANADiNNlHUOr2

"I was wondering."547Please respect copyright.PENANA73n26KoidF
