Destiny’s Hand
Peaceful slumber, claim breaths, the eyes had begun to flutter up, eyes clearing shaking the sleep from themselves. The bigger question was how did they get outside more importantly how in the hells did they end up in the Moonshade noticing that they had fallen asleep under the beautiful Dragons breath Blossom tree getting up looking around trying to gather themselves to make their way to the Moonshade inn, walking along the stone path that connects the Moonshade to the Moonshade Inn something had told them to stop at the mythical bloodriver.
The river in which was cursed during the first war between the elves and the humans, Amoria couldnt stop and remember the history lesson in which her parents had taught her she needed to get to the Inn so that way she can send word to her mother and father, as she made her way down the stone path and to the front of the Moonshade Inn she reached for the door trying to pull it out noticing that it was locked. It was strange to Amoria why was the busiest Inn in the land of Airandle closed it didn't make any sense, deciding to try something else turning away from the front door to walk back up the path it was at that point he door opened and smooth soft spoken voice spoke.
“ It has taken you sometime to reach my child i've been reaching out to you for years”
Amoria couldn't believe her eyes there standing before her was the sign of complete beauty, the entity was breathtaking Amoria couldn't tell whether the entity was man nor woman and the smell in which the entity gave off was one of peace, Amoria hadn’t noticed that the color of the sky had changed it had changed from its normal color to that of crimson red the moon had become enlarged. The entity spoke once again
“ Come child allow me to show what you shall become”
As the entity spoke it took a bow, Amoria noticed something when it bowed the entity for all its beauty had shown signs of decay and rot. Something within Amoria had told her this entity was a lie, within that moment Amoria had been awakened in her room by a band upon her chamber door rushing up out of bed to see her dare disturb her sleep Amoria opened the door to see one of the many royal servants sweating with blood running down their side panic written across their face.
“ Sorry young Madam but something terrible has happened!”
“ Do what do you mean something terrible has happened?”
As the short conversation had finished Amoria grabbing her things rushed out of her room to speak and walk with the servant. The servant explained how they had gone to the main hall to check on up on Amoria’s mother and father along with the rest of the royals that were visiting the Alabaster castle to speak on the upcoming festival, the servant went on to explain how they did not find her mother nor her father within the throne room but that they had found the rest of the royals with their hearts ripped from their bodies and that there was nothing but a page from what looked to be a journal being left upon the bodies.
All the journal entry had said that the Imp King shall rise again and to rebuild the world of Ludella in his image, and that he shall always be the most loyal and humble servant, especially since the Imp King had been so kind to all him to be with his wife once again. The journal entry had been written by Lord Claudio August. It was at that point in which Amoria knew she needed to find her parents and quickly, they needed to figure out what their next move was going to be.
Amoria had searched everywhere within the castle that she knew her mother and father would be at, just as she was about to give up her search she heard what could only be explained as a painful groan coming from the dungeons. Rushing down to the dungeon and finding a light she had finally found the sound of the noise. It was the sound of her mother laying within one of the cells seemingly waking up from whatever had happened, Amoria in a panic reached the cell and asked her mother what had happened.,
“ Mother are you okay!? What happened? Why did Lord August attack?!”
“ A…..Amoria dear oh thank the gods you are alright”
“ Of course I’m alright mother, where is father?”
“ D…Dear your father is gone, he is dead and soon I wont be apart of this world much longer”
Amoria’s mother had gone on to explain what had happened after she had gone to bed, her mother had explained to her how the soldiers had attacked and how the lord had arrived killing the rest of the royals, taking all of their hearts. Hearing the story of how Amoria’s father had fought heroically against the Lord of Immortal Knights Amoria had heard how her own mother watched as the love of her life was brutally murdered right in front of her eyes, her mother then went on to explain why Claudio was muttering something about needing the hearts for some sort of ritually.
Amoria had noticed that her mothers life force had begun to fail, none of the healing magic Amoria had was working she had tried everything she had learned it couldnt end this way Amoria wasn’t ready to lead her people she had just became of age tears begun to fall from the crystal blue eyes of the eldest child of the Winters family watching as her mother took her final breath. Amoria fell to the ground outside the cell in which her mother was in curly up on the ground allowing the tears to flow, time had seemed to speed up the exhaustion and sadness and anger had taken over the magic in which her and family had begun to freeze the castle the magic was to much, sleep had taken over as the last thing Amoria had seen was that of the ice creeping up upon the walls. It was this image in which Osiris Mordellia the only Cutis Draconis of the Ludella Imperium had seen, Osiris had known something terrible had happened to the Winters family had the Imperium been able to gather the information needed sooner to figure out what that was he would've been here sooner it the scene that he had come upon that made him sick and sad at the same time the rest of the royals of Airandle had been murdered their hearts had been ripped out of their chests.
Searching the castle and stumbling upon the Dungeon it was there where he had found the eldest daughter of the Winters family laying outside a cell in which had the body of the girls dead mother, Osiris rushed over to the young girl laying on the ground allowing his magic to reach out to see if the young girl was still alive. Thankful for what his magic had told him the Cutis Draconis scooped the girl into his arms and begun to mutter the spell to get them back to the Imperium. With only one thought in his head, Pora was correct a war two hundred years in the making was upon them and the blood of all those loyal to the human gods where going to be
