The Elf Castle

I gasped as the corset restricted my breathing. I moved up the hall with a hand massaging my rib cage. Honestly I hate dresses, personaly would love to run around in pants and shirt anyday. Servants ran about doing chores and knights on free time flirted with maids. I sighed, what's a girl to do?

Elhren Grisshem, a young half-elf, wandered the castle halls absentmindedly. His uncle, King Manteron, was dreadfully ill and none of the healers were able to cure him. The King has sent Loren Stryker and a handful of Hunters to seek out Erin Wolf to see if he could help.

Elhren accidentally walked right into a young Elven maid with startling purple eyes knocking her to the floor.

"Wha? OH!" He exclaimed in surprise. "Sorry, i didnt see you there, miss, er, i dont think we've met before...I'm Elhren Grisshem" He held out a hand to help the girl up off the ground. "And you are?"

Hanna started jerked rudely out of her thoughts.
Surprised she blinked down at the boy, "I'm Hanna Wilde. My grandfather owns this castle."
She looked at the boy, there was something remotely human about him.
She finally decided it was his wide eyes, unlike normal elves his were open and not secretive."

"OH!" Elhren grabbed her gently by the arm and hauled her up to her feet. "I'm so sorry! Your grandfather own this castle? Really? That's so cool!" He grinned. "I actually got kind of lost in here...maybe you could, :he looked away shyly, "Show me where your grandfather is? I need to talk to him...please?"

Elhren was young, his brown hair framed his face and his ice blue eyes.

I looked at him and smiled. "Of course you can."
The finest tapestries lined the walls. The castle was carved out of white stone and marbel so it seemed to glow with natural lighting. I knocked on door to grandfathers study. Then pushed the door open. "Some. One here to see you."
kæn looked up.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:31 pm

Elhren smiled at the girl. She looked older than he. "Thank you Hanna. I couldn't have found my way with out your help."

He looked at Kaen. "Sir?"

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:42 pm

Ooc- you can rp him. I'm to lazy
My grandfather hid a strait back and long silvery hair. He looked at the small elf boy. "Yes?"
He askd impacient.

"I am the nephew you of King Eleiseiador Manteron, Ruler of the Fortress-City of Wrendell. He sends a message to you, Sir. He seeks to forge an alliance between our people. He seeks to combine forces with you." The young half-elf spoke eloquently and rather well for his age.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:58 pm

"You speak with much conviction for a boy so young. Tell me why. " I watched my grandfather his pale eyebrow arching. I could amost see the wheels turning in his head.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Mon Jul 23, 2012 11:03 pm

"Sir, my Uncle has received reports that the Shadow King is preparing to attack. Almost a day afterwards, my uncle fell ill, something that none of our healers seem to be able to cure. He believes it is some sort of dark magic. There are rumors of Night-Walkers and wraiths having left the borders of Caligo. Bandits and slavers roam unchallenged and unchecked. It is King Manteron's hope to untie people to create a unified front to stand against these threats. To become strong again, and not weak and divided. To become whole once more, he seeks to unite the races..."Elhren stopped and swallowed. he waited to see Kaen's reaction.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Mon Jul 23, 2012 11:16 pm

Kaen gripped a stelle and carved a rune into his desk. All at once it burned white the elf nodded, "You have my forces. I never liked Shadow. "

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:58 am

Elhren bowed graciously, "Our sincerest gratitude and from myself, and on behalf of King Manteron, I thank you." Elhren bowed slightly again. "When can you have a portion of your troops ready to follow me back to the Fortress of my Uncle?"

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Tue Jul 24, 2012 10:46 pm

Kaen turned to me, "time for you to rise to the challeng, team c can go."
I nodded slightly stuned, "yes my lord."
My cheeks flushed.
Kæn waved his hand dismissing us.
I opened the door and stepped outside.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Tue Jul 24, 2012 11:36 pm

Elhren bowed again. He stepped out as well. "Er, thanks for getting me in to see your grandfather, Hanna. I really appreciate it." He smiled shyly.

"Its no problem, I am his diplomat after all. So it is my job. " I smile shaking my head.
I pulled at my dress and told a passing gaurd to tell csquad to get ready to leave in the morning.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:52 pm

"So, what or who is company C?" Elhren asked, his armor and mail clanking softly as they walked. He wore the garb of The Watch. It was silver armor with a shield insignia, chain mail, and bracers. His short sword hung at his side and his bow was unstrung and strapped across his back.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:38 am

I looked at him, his silver armor glinting in the light of passing windows.
His eyes stood out in stark contrast.
"They are the third best squadren in our tribe," we walk out into a court yard slightly dusted with snow. The odd contrast were the young cherry trees in full bloom. "They each have fifty or so years of training. In anyting and everything imaginable."
My breathing came and whent with small puffs of foggy air .

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Sat Jul 28, 2012 4:59 pm

Elhren looked at her ins surprise. "That sounds like our Hunters...they train in almost everything...some of the best soldiers in the five realms...My Uncle, er, King Manteron's personal guard and Captain Loren Strykar is the very best of the Hunters...he teaches me how to fight now and then...i like him a lot...he's like a guardian to me..." Elhren was happy to be talking to someone. His leather boots padded softly in the fresh snow. He looked up and noticed the cherry trees.

“WOW! Cherries! Is it alright if i…uh…pick a few? I love cherries…” He looked at Hanna questioningly.
The snow had begun to fall again and a few frozen flakes caught in his hair and sent light scattering every which way, making hair seem to have little jewels scattered throughout.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:15 pm

"I have never thought of the term Hunters applied to the troops." I tilt my head back. Snow flakes fell from the sky onto my hair and lashes. When the snow touched my skin it felt like a cold kiss. "You are lucky to have a relasionship like that, so what ever happens fight to keep it."
I touched the dark blue fey flowers woven into my braid and wished. "I suppose. You can have. Some."

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Tue Aug 07, 2012 4:03 pm

Elhren grabbed a handful of the bright red fruits and popped a few in his mouth. He grinned happily and tossed a few to Hanne.

"Catch!" He smiled as he ate another, "They are REALLY good!" He wiped his hands on a corner of his shirt and rejoined Hanne's side.

"Hmm? Hunters? Yeah, they are the best of the best of our soldiers...and we call them because they are always on the "hunt" for threats to our kingdom and, of course, our King." Elhren looked at her.

"You...okay? You seem...sort of, well, sort of sad..." He held out his hand and caught a few snow flakes and watched them melt from the warmth of his skin.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Tue Aug 07, 2012 4:21 pm

My hand flew out and caught the cherries with speed and practice most elves would envy. I held one up to the light and exsamened its shape and color. "Be carefull, you may stain your shirt."
I was in the prosses of eating one of them when elhren commented on me being sad. I looked at the young warrior and countered with a question, "Isn't it easy to be caught up in the past? Foucused on what ifs and could have beens." I move towards an archway, the topic made me uncomfortable... besides I stopped crying for my losses a long time ago.

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Fri Aug 10, 2012 9:51 am

Elhren stained his shirt.

"Darn." He grinned and rolled his eyes, "Ah well, now i can tell story about paying for the cherries in BLOOD! MAWAHAHA..." He chuckled and looked over at Hanna. She didn't seem to be in the mood.

"Hey, you okay? My uncle, King Manteron always told me this about the past." Elhren put on a face and changed his voice to pretend to be King Manteron.

"Boy, the thing about the past, is it has passed you by already. The thing about the Present is that it's the here and now of your life; the time to chose what your future will be, and what you'll put in your past. The Future? Well, boy, THAT is the time when you look back and smile , because if you used your present right, then you'll know your past will be okay. Now...Get back on that wall and do your job!"

Elhren smiled softly then. "Uncle's very sick now...but i still seem as the strong will warrior king of our nation." He rested a hand on her shoulder. "Come on. Let's go."

Subject: Re: The Elf Castle Fri Aug 10, 2012 4:54 pm

Hanna smiled softly, "I used to make fun of my fathers voice like that." She cleared her throat. "To the stables then shall we?"
On the way there hanna distracted herself by asking about elhrens preference of war horse. Then she questioned him about saddles, riding bareback, and what wepons were best used on the back of a horse.

Occ- I'm going to assume he left cause wolf went rp inactive.
Hanna has left for the Valley of horses if he wants to catch up.
