A Fantasy Kingdom

Samoht spies

IC:

"Interesting" Samoht whispered to himself.

<He was crouching on a wooden beam that helped hold up the ceiling of the castle. He was listening in on the confrontation between the Queen, some guard, and some maid. I couldn't really catch much. But he felt better being aware of the actions involving the Queen, considering he didn't know where anybody else important was.>

Daniel was in the royal garden brooding and trying to take in what had happened in the past few days. He couldn't believe that it was scarcely a week ago when his life had started on the dramatic path that it seemed to take.

"Sir Elf, the captain has asked that you come to the Queen's chambers" a large guardsman announced breaking Daniel's solitude.

Daniel, went willingly to the Queen's chamber, where he saw the captain of the guard, and the Queen who once again had that scent that Daniel couldn't identify but never the less he found intoxicating. Surrounding the queen, there was a heat that Daniel could literally see. While looking at this, Daniel must have lost track of time, for Garrett, then coughed, catching his attention.

"Daniel, we would have you do something that would greatly help us, this is Titania. We would have you keep her company for the next little while. Just watch her", Garrett said under his breath.

Daniel then noticed the brown haired woman in the room. She was fair to look at, and he nodded to the Queen and the knight.

"Well than if I am to be a babysitter, then let's go". He took leave of the two and guided the young woman to the door. Once through he asked her where she would go.

 

[soliloquy]

Titania

Titania glared at the elf, angry that she was going to be babysat by this...this...this...elf. "Well, I could tell you where I would have you go!" She looked at him with daggers burning into his skin. She led him down to the gardens. If she was going to be babysat, she was at least going to get some fresh air. And what was it that she was to do with the elf that would prove her loyalty?

Once outside, the scent of jasmine filled her and she calmed a little. She plucked a rose and gave it to the elf and asked, "Where would you have me put this rose, kind sir?" Her sudden change in moods seemed to have confused the elf

 

[dannyb2777]

Daniel didn't know what to make of the human woman he was walking down to the garden, the hate that she was exuding was palpable to him, though he didn't exactly know how or why. When she asked him where to put the rose, Daniel was confused at the question. He didn't have an answer so he just shrugged.

"Put it where you would, though I would have you talk to me in a fairer voice, I have done nothing to you lady. Why do you lead me to the garden? Most of the people here don't even know of it. "

"It helps to clear the air, and my head" Titania said a bit softer than before.

Daniel shrugged once again, and wandered off in the garden, he saw her through the trees sit, and Daniel just stood a short way off, and thought of the story William had told him. Before long he was humming to himself, and shortlty thereafter he was singing a soft song, though again suprised, it was in Elvish.

 

[soliloquy]

Titania

Titania brushed the smooth silk of the petals across the bare skin of her neck and cleavage as she listened to his song. The sunlight beat against her skin and the mixed fragrances of the flowers produced a heady scent that blushed of eroticism. She thought of Garrett, playing hand maiden to the queen. It must be a tedious job, she thought. She thought of his hands on her skin as she traced the rose over every expanse of flesh that her gown did not hide.

The elf's song was strangely familiar, and she focused in on the tune as the rose caressed her curves. The warmth in her body grew until she was moist and hungry. She looked to see if the elf was watching and slid her hand into her skirt to caress the flesh beneath. She moaned softly in tune with his song.

 

[tomasu]

Samoht Niaps

IC:<While perched in the Queen's chamber, Samoht noticed the elf enter the room. His attention was immediatly directed towards him, then as he noticed him leave the room with the woman, he ran across the support beam and climbed out a stained glass window found up high in the wall.>

<Samoht found the elf and woman outside the castle in the garden. He made sure not to be found by crouching behind a large gargoyle. He watched with deep interest...>

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

While the Queen is taking a nap I have two guards stationed out side her door and two more stationed inside her door with orders not to admit anyone other than myself and those requested by the Queen. I set out to find the Daniel and Titania. I search for about 15 minutes before I find them in the garden. I can hear the elf singing, in a language that I don't understand, a moving song. I see Titania sitting under a tree. I walk over to her, my armor giving away my approach.

 

[soliloquy]

Titania's fingers were just in reach of the moistness of her soft folds when a glint of light that indicated movement caused her to snap her eyes open.

Standing above her like a mythological god, was Garrett. The fire in her loins increased upon seeing him. She quickly withdrew her hand from the folds of her skirt and bent to kneel in front of him.

"What brings Sir Knight to the gardens when the queen is so ill?" She asked, just the slightest hint of ice in her words.

She hoped, she wished...but she knew better. She had seen enough in the queen's chambers to know that this was most likely a chance to castise her and punish her. But oh, how her flesh did ache for him.

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

I looked at her kneeling before me, she was a wonderful companion, but I was not in love with her.

"Titania, the elf is not actually watching you. You are to watch him, that is your test of loyalty. I am in charge of keeping the Queen safe and I don't fully trust him yet" I say to her softly.

"I need to return to the Queen quickly, I don't like leaving her side during these times. I would like to let you know that I will remember our times together fondly" I say as I reach down and raise her hand to my lips for a kiss.

I turn from her and return to Queen's chambers. I can't look back at her. I can barely see as the tears form in my eyes. I will miss her companionship, but I love the Queen to much to betray the trust placed in me.

 

[soliloquy]

Before he turned, a tear in his eye was caught in the light of the sun. As she knelt, seeing him walk away, Titania felt much relief. Whatever was keeping him away was obviously an impossible position and he would be with her if he could. Also, the knowledge that the babysat had become the babysitter was a relief for her.

Her loins ached and longed to be touched. If she had to watch this elf...Why not?

She approached the elf and lay her apologies at his feet. "I am not aware of who you are or how you became so trusted by the queen, but please let me make ammends." He looked at her softly, accepting her apology.

"If it is not too much trouble, I would like to return to my chambers." She smiled girlishly at him and he followed, whether he was happy about it or not was unclear to her. They tread the corridors softly, as if they were intruders. She opened her chamber door and let them both in. Upon closing the door, she looked at the elf, and fiendishly undid a fasten on her gown to reveal more of her lush cleavage. "It was so hot out there."

She sank onto her bed and her gown rode up to reveal a creamy white calf. "Please, sir, do make yourself comfortable in any way you see fit."

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn


Sleeping soundly.. I stir to the sound of footsteps comming back up the hall...


Sitting under me covers, pretending to be asleep, I hear the door crack open..

It is Garrett, He looks upset. Sitting up in bed i ask, 'Garrett, is everything alright?' Shifting, 'Is something wrong?'

He rubbed is eyes, and spoke, ' Just dust, How are you feeling'

'I am fine' i spoke 'How is the banquet comming, Everything must be ready, I would like all that oppose my Reign there'

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

"I will see to it Your Majesty" I say to her. Turning I send to the two guards standing in the room to see that all are notified.

"The matter of Titania's loyalty has been taken care of. I have the elf thinking he is watching her and she thinks she is watching him" I say to her after the guards leave. "It keeps them both busy, and both are made useful to your needs."

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn


'Sounds like you are having a creative mind in this.'

'I look forward to the Banquet, I wonder who shall decide they should have more power... or tell me who shall rule'

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

"That I cannot say Your Majesty" I say to her as I think about all of the nobles who are already in the city.

"My biggest concern is wondering who will try to kill you next and how" I say with a concerned look on my face. "That Baron is trouble and I know it, I just can't prove anything."

 

[tomasu]

Samoht Niaps

IC: <That damn knight had suddenly appeared and began talking to the woman that had accompanied the elf outside. When he left, they too followed. This was not going to be easy... Samoht had to follow those two, but did not know how, without going through the castle, attracting attention.>

*Well, since there has been no outcry due to the dead guards at the castle gates, word must travel slowly. So I can most likely kill some unlucky person and get out of the area before being noticed...* he thought to himself.

<Samoht leaped down from the gargoyle and landed in some bushes. Being very careful, Samoht slipped through a door and entered the castle.>

 

[Epicurean]

Baron Oliver Frostband

Oliver had spent the past few days shacked up in his room, brooding. He wasn't concerned about winning the throne for himself, but interested in securing favor for his own barony.

"Damn it all," Oliver groaned as he heaved himself out of bed. "How long have I been sleeping?"

He shambled over to the mirror to examine himself, he vaguely remembered being notified of a banquet...

Gods, I am a mess Oliver thought, he was wearing only a pair of deerskin trousers and hadn't shaved in several days, his face was also covered with bits of food and his torso had several dried splotches of ambiguous nature on it.

Oliver clapped his hands twice, "Valet! I am in need of clothes and a bath!" No answer

Throwing wide the door of his chamber, Oliver stepped into the hall, and spied a guard. Jingling his purse before the man, Oliver barked his orders.

"Yeoman! fetch me a servant, I am in need of a bath and need to be dressed! Also, notify the queen that I am sorry to have secluded myself, but look forward to her company this evening!"

The guard snatched the money and ran careening down the hallway.

Expended from all his hard work, Oliver returned to his bed and sat down, awaiting a servant.

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn

'The Baron is quite unusual. I do not believe he will give up without a fight.' I spoke.

I stood and began dressing, Garrett helped and played.

'we must be weary of him.' i spoke

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

I helped the Queen dress after she rose from the bed. She seemed to be feeling better. I was a little playful while I helped her. I couldn't help myself though, no other woman had ever had this kind of effect on me before. When she was dressed I kissed her gently on the lips.

"If you are feeling up to it later tonight Your Majesty, I will pleasure you in any way you wish" I whisper to her as I break the kiss. "But first we have other matters to attend to."

Moments later I hear the alarm raised in the garden. I yell for the guards outside the door to enter. They rush in and look at me.

"Stay within arms reach of the Queen until I return" I say to them as I head up the stairs to the balcony. I yell to the gathering guards to find out what has happened. They inform me that one of the guardsmen has been killed. I order active patrols of three men to begin immediately. They are to continue around the clock until further notice.

 

[tomasu]

Samoht Niaps

OOC: Ah hah! so the castle guards are not COMPLETE idiots.

IC: As Samoht was trailing the elf and the woman from the shadows, he heard a lot of frantic yelling coming from a intersecting hallway. Taking one quick peek to see 5 armed guards, Samoht quickly ran off and leaped behind some curtains that resided behind some sort of statue. It appears to be of the dead king.

 

[soliloquy]

Titania

Titania heard the commotion and opened her door, the elf trailing behind her. She turned the corner and stood by a large stature of the late king. She tried to make out the conversation between the guards.

She crept around the statue, trying to see and hear better. There seemed to be an emergency. Did they say that someone was killed? A chill passed through her. She motioned for the elf to return to the room and began to walk towards her chamber. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of movement and returned to the statue...

 

[Epicurean]

Baron Oliver Frostband

Oliver was still sitting on his bed waiting for a servant to come when he heard an immense commotion in the hallway outside his door.

"Inconsiderate peasants," he muttered as he arose to open the door.

Looking into the hallway, Oliver saw a squad of armed guards running his way. "Stay in your room m'lord! There's been a murder!" one of the guards shouted at him.

"Well I very well can't dress myself! Fetch me a servant, NOW!" Oliver screamed at the guard.

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

I head back downstairs to the Queen. I can see a worried look on her face.

"Your Majesty, someone has breached the castle defenses" I say to her in a serious voice that I usually reserve for the royal guards. I look at the ones present.

"Aethelwulf, get some more troops in here immediately. I want 2 guards at any possible entry point to this room until further notice. I also want a 10 man detachment ready for escort duty at once. They are to be ready at a moment's notice until this whole situation is resolved" I say to the senior most guardsman present.

I look around the room carefully, noting all possible entry points. 'Where was that assassin hiding, and who sent him?' were all I could think about at the moment.

 

[tomasu]

UH oh!

IC:

[That dumb wench from before was getting too close for comfort. She had taken no notice to the space behind the statue the first time, but when Samoht attempted to leave after she began walking away, she must have noticed the moment. When she stopped in her tracks and tensed up, Samoht dived back behind the statue and made for the corner behind it. She was staring the direction of the statue.]

"Dammit..." he whispered to himself

[She walked towards the statue, and Samoht tensed up against the wall. Seeing that she was still coming in his direction, Samoht whipped out his two daggers from his sleeves and prepared to lunge out, dig them into her temples, and drag her into the darkness. But just as he was about to...]

"Come on, we need to check every entrance to the castle! That includes the garden!"

[A group of armed guards suddenly appeared from around the corner and ran in the direction of the woman and the hidden Samoht. Thinking better of it, Samoht wrapped one of the curtains around his body and held his breath. Killing this woman would only get him caught...]

[But if she got any closer, she would feel the steel of his daggers piercing her flesh...]
