Part 1

[Inkshade]

"Princess Gloriana." Osiron bows his head to her in the same manner he did Rowena. "Janindra." he adds. "Eight months, 13 days...and you Gloriana?" he asks.

----

"Oh...yeah that does seem to make sense...thought I supose you could use it just as scare tactics....I don't know you're the magic man..." Airou says

"I wish I could do magic...I'd do flaming cartwheels!" Lakyri says.

[Dynamax]

"True, but that'd be simple illusory magic. Not that I've studied yet." Elias says. "Though creating ice that's not cold or doesn't melt would be more useful."

"You get weird bouts of inspiration, thought that would make a ice sculptor's career now wouldn't it?" Phillipe says. "If that spell existed I'd have one made for Varona. Varona the Ice Princess, lady of the fallen snow."

"I might just have to look into it then." Elias says.

-------------

"Last week. I do actually leave the confines, I have to now that I've taken up the blade." Gloriana says.

"You don't HAVE to." Janindra says. "You just choose to."

[Inkshade]

Vanora smiles "That would be nice. If you could even make snow that wasn't cold. I like snow, but hate the cold. The cold is why I don't like winter."

"Ice that isn't cold and doesn't melt?...Isn't it called glass?" Airou jokes.

----

"That's right, you are working on swordplay aren't you." Osiron says "Well, I'd invite you both to come back to my castle with me, but I'm stopping by to see the Greyflower sisters cottage first, and their house is barely what one would call fit for a princess. And you have your practice Gloriana..." he says

[Dynamax]

"Texturewise, no, less dangerous too." Elias says.

"But it'd be useless for drinks." Phillipe says.

"I will look into it Milady, I'll make it my goal once i work on Ice magics. Maybe I can even make a warm winter snow?" Elias smiles.

---------

"I don't mind. I may be a princess but I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty." Rowena says.

"You got the idea in her head Lord Osiron, I don't think she is budging. I however have task to perform." Gloriana looks at Janindra. "Jani, we're leaving. See you both around."

"Farewell." Janindra bows.

"Why can't i go with you? i trust you, Daddy trusts you." Rowena pouts.

Gloriana shakes her head. "Like a kid some times."

[Inkshade]

"If you truely wish to come then I will go ask him." Osiron says

-------

Vanora smiles "That would be lovely."

"Does seem sort of odd....what would you use unmelting...not cold ice for?" Airou says

"Quit being so questioning!" Lakyri says to him "You're so dull! Where's your imagination?"

Airou glares at her.

[Dynamax]

"Decoration, attack, construction." Elias says. "And i second your sister."

"To make My lovely cousin happy, is that not reason enough?" Philippe says.

--------------

"Thanks, I would like to see places i haven't been before. It might help me with my perspective." Rowena thinks. "I want Uncle Desmond to come as my protector too."

[Inkshade]

"Well, then I'll go talk with your father immediately." Osiron smiles at her and bows his head again, before heading up the hall to speak to the King.

----

"I supose." Airou says and smiles "And I'm sorry that I apply my imagination to other things."

"Like what?" Lakyri asks

"Like...like...er...Battle plans."

"Oh please you've never been in a big battle!"

Vanora chuckles at the two.

[Dynamax]

"Whoa, stop. This i got to hear." Anastasia says. "Tell me these battle plans." She says, staring at Airou with a smirk.

-------------

"Thank you Lord Orison." Rowena bows.

[Inkshade]

"Well, I don't have any now! We're not at war." Airou says

"Unhuh. Sure. Nice excuse." Lakyri smirks

--------

Osiron enters the throne room. he bows to the King "My Lord Ildor, may I have a word?"

[Dynamax]

"Trust me, you don;t need to be at war. i just thought of 12 ways to use Elias' spell when he mentioned it. 4 for that illusory spell and a 7 for the ice that doesn't melt."

"I got like 3...total." Phillipe says. "All involving catapults. Ending illusory fiery ice blocks thrown in with real fiery ice blocks."

"Ok, now i am scared. Phillipe outdid you Airou." Elias says.

"But of course." Phillipe bows.

----------------

Ildor was sitting at the throne talking to Vadris when Osiron arrived.

"...going as planned, though I think we might have to put one out of their misery. Trophis was a bit rough again. Still the rest will be ready for the head man's axe." Vadris says before hearing him. "Lord Osiron, what do you want?" he says with annoyance.

"Vadris, be nice." Ildor says. "Come in my friend, don't mind him. Vadris had to break up a fight between Desmond and those two idiots Crytax and Trophis."

"Morality when it comes to dead men is a silly thing." Vadris says.

[Inkshade]

"It depends on what race we're talking about." Osiron says before looking to the King "I apologize for inturpting. I was just speaking with Princess Rowena, and it has come to my attention, that perhaps some time away from the castle might be good for her. She seems stressed, she has all week. I believe she is having a hard time adjusting to her life with a new stepmother. From what I have observed, she is at peace in her garden. I think it would be beneficial to everyone if she had some time away. With your approval, I'd like to bring her with me to my castle for some time away." he smiles "I have presented my offer to her and she says she would like to go. But she wishes for Desmond to come as her guard, and I couldn't agree more with the notion. I will be traveling first to see my covenant, and as you know, it is a secluded area." he says

---

Airou rolls his eyes "I'm better when it's in the moment. this is all hypothetical."

[Dynamax]

"Not with me. With me it's plausible." Anastasia says. "I am a war goddess after all."

"ANYWAYS...let's go outside so I can do the spell." Elias says, holding open the door. "After you Milady."

--------------

"Well at least we know with you there's no ulterior motive." Vadris says.

"Vadris, I can handle your attitude most of the time but with this you go too far." Ildor sighs. "I approve of both ideas. Desmond is close to her, he will assist you in ensuring my daughters safety." Ildor says. "Is that acceptable?"

[Inkshade]

Osiron smiles "Absolutely. I will protect her with my life my friend." he bows again "I will leave you two to your conversation, and I shall take the liberty of informing Desmond."

------

Vanora smiles "Thank you Elias."

"A very humble war Godess...clearly." Airou mutters

Lakyri hits him and glares.

He makes a face at her.

she lowers her mask and sticks her tounge out at him.

[Dynamax]

"Anytime Princess." Elias bows.

"Thank you Lakyri." Anastasia says. "Saves me the trouble."

--------------

Vadris snaps his fingers, summoning Desmond. "Here, talk."

"What the Hell?" Desmond says.

Ildor sighs. "How does a 300 year old demon ask like such a brat?"

"I learned it from watching your subjects." Vadris says.

[Inkshade]

Osiron looks at Desmond "Princess Rowena will be joining me when I leave tomorow. You shall be accompanying us as her guard to asist me in protecting her." he says.

-------

"It's what I'm here for!" Lakyri grins and puts her mask back.

Airou rolls his eyes again.

Vanora listens to them. she and her brother had never acted like that, they were always getting along, admittedly odd as far as siblings go. Regardless, those two always reminded her of him.
