"Find Emperor Kyro!" 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMixIjARw2h

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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdBwxV3lL1

"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLxrq2VGV
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94txVDww90
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f6mVUcUla

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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefKjqnzA5V
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZlePuAI7U
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBVDmSZDBV
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMCuad1JUY
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33n35SqkqH
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdK7pudI6f
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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9MmW7zEg8

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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW1FR0ErkO
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eWCN6QDRy
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseRWPDa45k
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ujo3tj46
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfnsKzpoZ3
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt2aMXfgN9
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48NTDbjFXu
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR28n57ksiv
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2P2wevEKY
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXeSaZLoB1
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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkd0GNynH6
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCRL7H1x6
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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62xhQcOBMf
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPyQmt8dk0
"You look lovely as always, Empress."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4xq9SldnD

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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFlGshUs2
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ttSITplZV
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ908taKzG14
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IpRUGpdaG
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vQ7Z6imhw
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJZLp59xqd
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WNqU6kpw
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY4iwA0Iih
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMfYhJF2j
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEkCaTcpdW
"How considerate of you."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5uuXchHa
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYTwUS6JZ
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ574Bg5zGwM
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhonMRjX2kw
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBizJuv7zPB
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kZMM4i6eP
"I see, I'll take it."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PihuVWxd9
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCg84tp82x
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CcZYp4Lot
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ7PzzuyNL
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WZ5cG1Un
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH09R0KkmFl
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jLrmukbdZ
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLAJRoaAxh
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCn6ofBAdL
"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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwl6h5tsPC
"I see."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkx5B4GuiF
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfJn0sGhzo
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZbQ0rBo46
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyscc5P06qt
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8pwxOPNWl
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOqGwkixZ
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUETHJeTium
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQY75SrUo
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI7Mwoea0p
"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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eyvv8PwTD
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAEinJzIK
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3iKFN9UBl

"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCAvVlnJJ9
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGWQmv9msE
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvljDZelmr
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKWmsZ5IaB
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKQcP2E6Qg
"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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcan9asLHCO
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx2IlfjcAz
"Would you like more, your majesty?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBUo0H5E51
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXiytOKcY
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6X7SosLZW
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpzGNhSVcg
**481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyJCflrvl
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOIYWZPATi
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Mhygw8j4
"Welcome back your highness."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lEwHKREO
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprkm0Xbtj1
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuzscJ6ibO
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGLrUYq4Mz
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmipDEJAdV
"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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQzWG37K5W
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vHZGahY4
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQwoywclgA
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQWH08dSPz
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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxDB93h7bL
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQKB7N8K2D
"These are ravishly delicious."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu1mSZSAcS
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lEL5KRbFa
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tlj9Jpuvm
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MkBthzFzE
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvfub2vqDy
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm97WNf4EI
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ltXwJQUQG
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNx0YcBcL
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxls6D9vF
I shook my head, as my eyes trail up to hers, crinkled within my smile that gleamed back towards hers.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcyJDm9I9y
481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7m6eQ9Hl2
"I was wondering."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QPQ7tgMPp
