"Find Emperor Kyro!" 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8MOrMU25v

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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVS92uCLqj

"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs6VCjEPYk
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ2H3ry0Ow
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoaw4ey1p5

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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3kZsvUrDF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5sKgNS7Lp
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2MbnWREEl
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS7DB7YzRR
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bn1Nk7f7y
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmDipczGY
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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BjxiIxs5c

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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS2icvMmqd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYF9qfCJV3
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."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g5mkoAQGg
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc0ksNmTFn
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8YohCX8K0
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakJQIys68c
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WYqYfTbt
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanB046kCl8
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNlsoUnm2
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYlNBeu0RB
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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83HHmIn9Bu
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEAcSG7bwq
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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4upCAvdcV
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8dBakp6yg
"You look lovely as always, Empress."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSqlxUGw8

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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqtZwAV20G
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzGMXP9HON
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDJ6aTePOv
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZolMxHRMk
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."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbewSL2wfh
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfqTxfDbMc
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZ1NdMB5d
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhavsmR86W
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocgqKrQaqQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3WFIk9xi3
"How considerate of you."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IUGFS0sm
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDxPxI956y
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJJ3YSCQy
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFeSwfbUkO
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA8dRwq0jF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGSZ2qb9J3
"I see, I'll take it."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bR2KHKY4M
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K5txccKSv
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRXlvcKuGN
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVPTWrSvPM
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpU8aCZgHG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmuAozY1pj
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE0IZxD8yC
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADsB56KcKP
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."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzCmgjREZO
"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."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUgF5u2RO
"I see."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhXxjNGCS1
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejoypMbhd
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWYQzTEBuz
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS837TNXxGY
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO18TOVYPr
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrHYtlMqg
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJN81nu1q
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa6qLRYu3j
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJveiAjLVcK
"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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVddKZHqLXU
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbnmPQ5Vvw
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eoSgelNLm

"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJT99rUFee
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLpl2nQd7
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ueyIRt9ih
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0udQsLhPkB
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJsgLhPgUJ
"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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G7D3uNnZT
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXN4GqltUg
"Would you like more, your majesty?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6XkpvR1gG
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Q8WUiieO
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtVhIiCLkS
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBObvHh0c7
**543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzySQqB8xx
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9wWHIQgL
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP6f77A8OH

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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU1Oun9CVs
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0qg8WBJk
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtj17Kj6gz
"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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwj6LzigoF

543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJEOSWEpwY
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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3pHfCcF5R

"These are ravishly delicious."543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWXknscDY
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTBi3VEiRY
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIVacMNm9V
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2pqNqxww0
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucE29lvN83
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNryN8iPtF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmkAek6M1a
