The Last Kingdom II

[Darklord]

Randel

ooc: Geez Roland, you get more bent out of shape than a aluminum girder... Besides, Randel's name used to be Randall, but I've gone with the flow, as should you...

Ic: Randel grunted at his Kings protests about the medicines he was using on him, but knew it was more annoyance than anything. When he asked him about the guards and whether they were dead Randel just grinned and said "Nothing that some of my "Foul stuff" and a couple of mugs of ale won't cure Kelwyn. They're just out cold, Ajax and I are just going to strap them into their saddles and lead their horses till we reach Karrack's then let them drink and rest up. Now up we go" and as he finished he and Ajax hoisted their king up, and letting him rest against his horse proceeded to put the now semi-concious guards on their horses where they secured them with ropes, and grabbing the reins of the horses brought them over to the king and their horses. Smiling Randel said "Well, I don't kow about you, but lets get to the house of that big oaf and get some ale, eh Kelwyn?"

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

Karrack didn't know where he was anymore, all that mattered was the warm soft body pulled tight against him, that was all that had any meaning to him. Hearing her moan as he slid his mouth down her neck and kissing his way down to her breasts he felt a surge of blood go through his veins as his need for her nearly made him want to howl.

Then he felt her hands on his clothes and grunting he removed his mouth from her nipple and seizing it in his one hand he wrenched tearing the shirt off his body, revealing the scarred visage there, scars he had earned caring for and protecting his friend, and now soon to be so much more.....

 

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc: Okay, i've got a good entrance.....But where to START! *lol*

 

[Moneytalks]

King Kelwyn...

Smiling Randel said "Well, I don't kow about you, but lets get to the house of that big oaf and get some ale, eh Kelwyn?"

Kelwyn managed a smile in return.

"Sounds like a good plan Randel... a very good plan."

Without assistance he hauled himself into the saddle. He kept his face carefully neutral but the pain shot through his body anyway. He glanced over at Ajax who looked carefully ahead not wanting to look overly concerned for his King, knowing full well that Randel wouldn't let him ride if there was anything seriously wrong.

Besides, the King was a fighter. Twas why he decided to serve hm.

Ajax led the guards tied to their horses. Randel rode his horse along side Kelwyn and Swift.

They all walked their horses in companiable silence. Kelwyn only showing his tension at their slow pace occassionally, with a grunt of annoyance. It seemed to him to be taking an inordinantly long time until finally he saw the Hammersmith Mountains appearing on the horizon. He sucked in his breath as they came into full view in all their magnificence.

His face broke out into a wide grin.

"We're almost there!" He said, pushing his horse into a fater walk and then finally a trot, only to push onward at a full canter. He heard Randel shout out to him, but ignored him. He needed to see Avallyn... and he could feel that she was there.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen...

Her mind whirled with excitment. Karrack pulled of his shirt with his hand, tearing the material from his body.

She gasped with awe at seeing his muscled torso so close up and personal. So interesting that he had not this affect on her all those times they had bathed together. Now just looking at his muscular chest full of scars from fighting... made her tingle with desire all over.

She trembled as she let her hand slide over him. He was huge. So much taller and wider than any man could dare be.

A flicker of doubt intruded in her mind.

And only getting bigger Vixen... he is a young giant too... he will outlive you... by many generations... do you think he will love you when you're old a grey?

She trembled but forced the thought from her mind. She wanted this... wanted him... if only this once. She couldn't stop now.

Her hands became desperate for him. Touching him lovingly, as if trying to record every nuance of him. Her lips lowered to lick and kiss at him. Tongue twirling around his nipple, lapping at a scar.

Her hands moved lower now to the buckle at his pants.

[Lady_Siren]

Avallyn climbed out of the bath and dressed quickly. She was fighting tears as her dream flashed through her mind. Illynya rushed in her face concerned "What happened? Were you attacked?" she glanced around the room her hand reaching for her sword. Avallyn shook her head "No I'm fine I just had a bad dream is all" she pasted a smile on her face that she didn't feel. "Is Kelwyn here yet?" Illynya shook her head sensing her friends sadness and worry. "he'll be here don't worry" Avallyn twisted her hands and sat down. She looked at her hand it was shaking "You should rest. I will come and get you when Kelwyn arrives" ignoring Avallyn's protests Illynya gently pushed her back on the bed "rest" she said firmly then left the room. Avallyn layed there a moment feeling exhaustion finally creeping up on her. Her eyes closed and she drifted off to a dreamless sleep...

Meanwhile...

Illynya went downstairs leaving Avallyn to her own devices. She stepped to the window and glanced out at the country side. She was about to turn away from the window when she glanced riders. She squinted but could not make out anyone. Glancing around she noticed no one was in sight. These could be enemies, where were the gaurds? Grumbling she headed outside determined to find out who these men were before they were allowed to enter. She saddled her horse and rode swiftly out to meet them. They were farther out then she thought. When she did reach them she smiled recognizing the king. She had met him when Avallyn had first travelled to his kingdom to propose a treaty. But who was with him? She had left shortly after that and had not met anyone else. One rider who seemed to be good friends with king was quite handsome. Laughing at her thoughts she raised her hand in greeting calling from the distance "Welcome your majesty! Forgive my rudness but I had to see if you were friend or foe. One can not be to careful lately!" she smiled god naturaly pulling to a hault waiting until they reached her.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Well damn sir...I would have thought you would have gotten here sooner!!

*A soft, All too familiar voice wafted out from a tree, where a hunched figure sat, curious smoke rings wafting from beneath the earthen colored hood....The hard set, soft eyed face of the old campaigner looked up Towards the king...a soft twinkle in his eye*

M'lord Kelwyn. It's been a very long time.

*And the man stood up to his considerable height, tapping the pipe on his heel to clean it out and pocketing it. Doing a sweep of his arm as the brown cloak swept back..revealing lightweight, bright fishes mail..and An Ornate Sword handle peeking out from behind his side...he bowed just slightly...a deferance to a man he owed a great deal of respect*

Arent the mountains a Sight? I'd...gotten word you were travelling this way sir....So I decided to head you off so to speak...I'd heard about the Reunion and...well, You know me sir. I never turn down an opportunity to see old friends.

*There was a subtle twinkle in his old eyes...He was getting along in age...But he had plenty of life in him..as well as some elven blood...He would be alive for a long time yet*

Do you mind If I travel with you? I dont have a horse, but I travel light enough on Foot now..

[Darklord]

Randel

Randel had been riding along telling Kelwyn a funny story about a campaign he had been on a few years ago when he had gotten shot in the ass. Just then an amazon caming riding up like she really meaned business. At Kelwyn's negatory hand wave he knew not to draw his sword. As she drew up short of them he noticed how pretty a woman she was, "Strange I should be thinking that about a woman who could put an arrow through my eye.." he chuckled at that thought. As they came together Randel bowed to her in his saddle and said "My lady, it is my pleasure to meet you, my name is Randel."

It was then a fairly tall and well armed figure appeared around the tree and began talking with the King, at the King's interested expression Randel knew not to take any immediate actions.

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

He moaned as he felt Vixen's hands run over his body, her touch was so soft and gentle for such a hard person. He could only think about how much he loved her, and looking at her he said "Vix, I... I love you.." and as her hands reached for his belt buckle he brought his lips back down to hers..

 

[Lady_Siren]

Illynya nodded to the man who introduced himself noting that the closer she got to him the more attractive he seemed. She looked to the king "I am Illynya General of the Amizons and good friend to Avallyn" before she could say anything else an armed figure appeared. Placing her hand on her sword she did nothing but watched as he spoke with the king. She sensed that he wasn't an enemy yet she stayed on gaurd awaiting the kings reaction.

 

[Lady_Siren]

OOC: where is everyone? did this thread die already?

 

[Guest]

King Kelwyn

Well damn sir...I would have thought you would have gotten here sooner!!

...

Do you mind If I travel with you? I dont have a horse, but I travel light enough on Foot now..

Kelwyn smiled.

"Roland... Roland! You haven't changed at all... such a pleasant surprise... I had not expected to see you again... you left so abruptly... you must of course join us. I'm sure your journeys have taken you far!" The King reached down his hand and took that of his old friend's shaking it in a firm grip before turning to Illynya.

"Illynya... yes... Avallyn has spoken of you with much fondness I recall. A pleasure... " his eyes suddenly bright with emotion... "and... and Avallyn... is she...?" He seemed to falter before straightening... "would it be that Avallyn accompanied you here?" He finally managed seemingly unaware of Randell and Illynya's inspection of each other.

He was desperate to make his way to see Avallyn, and his steed, sensing his King's impatience mouthed at the bit straining to move forward.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen

"Vix, I... I love you.." and as her hands reached for his belt buckle he brought his lips back down to hers..

His lips decended apon hers. Distracting her again. His words had at once thrilled and frightened her.

Her own soul longed for his yet those words... those words scared her. Again she pushed these thoughts aside. This at least an easy task with his hands soothing her shoulders. Finally her nimble fingers dispensed with his pants... pushing them down, revealing him to her, so strong. So immense.

She touched him. Stroking encouraging. Her mouth seemingly liquid heat beneath his.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Illynya forced her attention away from Randell and to the king almost smiling at his faultering speech. "No Avallyn is back in the house awaiting your arrival as anxiously as you are hers. She is resting up in her room but I"m sure she will be wide awake when she hears you have arrived" she motioned for them to follow "come lets not keep her waiting"

 

[Darklord]

Randall

His eyes followed the form of the young amazon Illynya as she swung her horse around to lead them to the house of the giant. He was... entranced... to put it simply. Shaking his head to clear it a little he rode next to the walking Roland and leaning over asked "What do you know of that young woman there?"

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

His body stiffened at the feel of her hands upon him, and then he let himself go into the feeling of the kiss and his hands stroking her soft, yet lean body, and running his hands down to the small of her back he lifted her into the air in his arms, their lips still locked in a kiss....

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*He noted all the signs of pressing onward, the anxiety, the emotion...He wondered waht had happened scince he had left them all...on his own soul quests*

Obviously there is some business to quickly take care of. It is good to see you again sir. But if you are eager to make haste, allow me to lead, I know paths all around us not many usually take....We could make it to any place you need to be quickly as you are willing to ride.

*He smiled up at the other peoples...but the one notable face he had missed..well...two faces... Karrack and Vixen. Old campaigners...one of them had been with him scince he started this adventuring biz. He sighed, then smiled waving*

Come on!! Say where you need to go and I can getcha there!

 

[Lady_Siren]

Illynya could feel Randall's eyes on her and she felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomache. She frowned at her odd feelings and chose to push them aside for now. They arrived at Karrack's and she dismounted. "I will go get Avallyn" she hurried ahead of them anxious to get away from Randall. These feelings were beginning to scare her but before she could start up the stairs everyone heard an ear splitting scream from up stairs. Her protectivness took hold and Illynya ran so fast up the stairs no one would have been able to keep up if they tried. She reached the room and flung open the door her sword out and ready. But Avallyn was alone and lying in bed. Her breath was coming in gasps and she looked pale as death. Illynya hurried to her side dropping her sword just as the king and the rest arrived at the door.

 

[Darklord]

Randall

When they had reached the house, Randall was happy to see it was completed since his last visit. Leaning over to Kelwyn he said "Bet you didn't think the big guy build 'em like this.." as he kept his eyes on the bewitching Illynya. Just as they were entering the door there was a scream and she took off like a shot. With a yell Randall and Kelwyn followed her, both with their swords drawn. As they reached the room she disappeared into, Randall threw Kelwyn behind his back and stepped into the room to see only Illynya and Avallyn.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Avallyn was shaking like a leaf her face devoid of color. Illynya glanced at Randall and the king for a moment then back at Avallyn "Are you ok? What happened?" Avallyn just shook her head and glanced in the direction Illynya had glanced. Her face heated when she saw Kelwyn. Her gaze met his and her breath left her. Her heart stopped and she was sure the ground was no longer beneath her. Only one word escaped her lips "kelwyn..."

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen

Vixen heard the scream and stiffened in Karrack's embrace.

"D... did you hear that?" She asked her voice husky from their passionate embrace. Karrack looked blankly back at her but slowly focused on her words and frowned.

"I... I thought I heard a scream... a woman screaming?"



Kelwyn

"Avallyn..." he whispered in return. It was so much harder than he thought it would be to see her in the flesh after all this time. Even more beautiful than he'd recalled if that were humanly possible. His hands seemed suddenly clammy and he felt as if frozen to the spot. Her voice, speaking his name, was like a fresh drink of water to his parched ears.

"Oh my love!" He spoke without thought and cleared the few footsteps that separated them before gathering her into his arms. He winced but slightly as he did so feeling his aching ribs protest this inconsiderate movement but he ignored the pain. The feel of her in his arms more than making up for it.

"What scared you my rose? Why the cry of fear?" His whispered against her hair. He inhaled the scent of her as he did this, revelling in the feel and fragrance of her.

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

As he refocused on Vixen in his arms, he heard her words. "What! Come on! If you heard something, somethings wrong!" he shouted as he threw the door open, as he pulled his pants on and running seized a sword from a display on one of the walls in the meeting hall of his house while he sprinted for the stairway, hearing footsteps pounding before him...

 

[Lady_Siren]

OOC: I don't know about the rest of you but I think this thread may have some life left in her!

IC: Avallyn leaned against Kelwyn breathing in his scent. By the goddess it felt so good to be with him again. But then her dream came back freshly in her mind. "It was only a nightmare, I'm fine...now" she said softly remembering how the voice had told her that if she didn't stay away from kelwyn he would die. But she couldn't bring herself to pull away his arms were so comforting and she soon frogot the warning lost in his warm embrace.
