"Find Emperor Kyro!" 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrH2Si0Ab7

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmULn7TdtD

"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiskvFv86PE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1bw62QaQJ
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupNuddQOIP

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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRTOITWIh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IMxDT26y
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwG9AJyquR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO85MY7uQfx
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcSJl18swi
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe07tMOHFj
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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whVlUehIU

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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGt5GRJdy

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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzU3WIpHN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYervopK60d
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUgq9si2gt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMvmvmWVMo
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xMHNZvlte
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XgWwFG9lk
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn5lGN6YYw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnYpcBtukU
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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTndHvpLoK5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwdb9BGvvK
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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr3BAlhDa5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlje3wPTL72
"You look lovely as always, Empress."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzDZ129hb

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kebCRcZA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJIyR61Mz
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuAh2HNY0W
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLeHZDzgBi
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFtB1hNhv4

"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDKCNrSFA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g8EdhURFO
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gshgxn21Y
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIdVlt6Cf
"How considerate of you."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJUoxWoPtP
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGPL5GC317
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXymyTWBd3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXREfTmno5S
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWa3sGoKS0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBC9qQ9xbu
"I see, I'll take it."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKtLdhu8Mc

"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK2DMYWY9W
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUbtCxkz3
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iw42a8qaT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NcSSJcvRZ
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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwDUuWrfA
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Apuzk5i8
"I see."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdzEEFj2jU
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQGecOvLxb
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllQZYphJb
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0SfPU6Vhg
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKNmMt8Uo2
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZIz4flfZJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy4OB5yPe7
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaMixkCywH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRko5gqyzbI
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21HBt3f3Al
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLvoOvFh5f
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCWAFGLuc

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWlS2JlRH
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7TsLkeAjK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhplzYcMwRc
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NuyNKIld
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMz6i2sQUd
"Would you like more, your majesty?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VkcW7bty
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSeEdw4hEk

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA2SBhP8ZE

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1MHCJ33Q

"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgzmXqz8Fh
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yWRbXubnb

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. 449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKhp4BAqh

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkd7AnFfsO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSMqrTSQdC
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrte15aJvnz
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBiaSpJ2F
