The Rogue thief
Graymont calmly walked out of the hectic venue which was almost completely deserted by now, he tucked his pistol in his suit belt and covered it with his cloak, then slipped into the streets and blended in with the crowd, he kept walking until his instincts began to tick; someone was stalking him. It was a common occurrence after all but he wasn't in the mood for this today. He stopped and looked around, everything seemed normal, this road he had taken saw fewer pedestrians and the street lamps were dimmer, he glanced to his left and right then calmly walked into a dark alley Valkori hid behind a rooftop, she raised her head slightly to peek and saw him walk into a suspiciously dark street "This is how he disappears huh?... that's why Miranda could never finish the map..." She jumped over the street to the next building, unlike Miranda she was very confident that she could defend herself if she needed to, she raised the hood on her blue cloak to cover her head as she carefully
Bargain
Valkori flew over the streets of Haldenmark, following the landmarks on the map Miranda gave to her, she knew she was crazy for making such a daring move but she was willing to risk everything to find the dancing knight, maybe she could take him back to Miranda even, for a moment she thought about how happy Miranda would be if that happened, it most likely wouldn't but she was free to dream "Dahlia, down there..." she said as she recognized a tall pointed building from the map, Dahlia landed on a rooftop close to it and she jumped down from the pegasus "This street, this is where the trail ends in all the paths she drew" Valkori thought, she looked over the city, all the buildings bathed by the moonlight, many of them had chimneys that let out smoke, the streets were lit with lamps and covered in people, she noticed how only a few horses and no vehicles could be spotted She strapped her bag to Dahlia as she got tired of carrying it, then patted it's back "Follow me..." she sa
Prison Break
Alora stood still at the entrance of the castle, she watched Valkori briefly before turning her attention to Miranda, her eyes seething with rage, the girls walked up the stairs to meet her "Why are you here?" Valkori inquired, Alora didn't answer her, she kept on staring at Miranda who had lowered her head in fear "Did you read the letter I sent you?" Alora asked coldly, Miranda twisted her fingers nervously "Yes, sister..." "Then what is she doing outside?!!" Alora barked, Valkori was perplexed as she watched the both of them "What's going on?..." she asked "I'm sorry Alora...it was just a brief visit, and I brought guards with us-" "I told you that under no circumstances must any of you leave the keep until I get back, and you just blatantly disobeyed?!!!" "Alora, what are you?-" "SHUT UP!!" Alora commanded, Valkori shivered, she had never seen the Principal so annoyed before "Get inside..." she told Miranda, "I'll deal with you later" Miranda went past her
The Dancing Kinght
PIT'S BOTTOM: Valkori and Miranda had to put on black hooded gowns as they went into the underground fighting pit, they couldn't afford to draw too much attention to themselves, especially Valkori as she had white stripes and spots all over her body that needed to be concealed. Their guards took care of the payment to the venue wardens and signalled them to go in, they remained at the entrance to wait for the princesses after the show "How many times have you been to this place?" Valkori asked "Twenty one..." Miranda answered with a smile "What?!!" "I come here as often as I can because I never know when he'll show up, but I heard rumors that he'd be fighting today" "Well he better be worth it..." Valkori rolled her eyes, the place had a damp and sweat stench from so many people gathered in the cramped underground pit with minimal ventilation, the chants and cheers from the spectators brought back memories of her birthday bout in the Greystone arena, but this time she was
What do you care about?
ONE HOUR AGO; Alora entered her father's chambers, she saw him lying on his King's bed with the sheets over his body, his wife Elia Skolgard sat on the bed next to him, Bjorn and their younger brother Thorin stood by as well, a doctor wearing a very long robe mixed concoctions by the bedside table, the room was silent as a crypt, except for the sounds of the doctor's equipment. She went closer to get a better view of his face, her body went cold when she did, his skin was turning purple and black cracks grew on it, quickly spreading all over his body, it was very obvious that this was no normal disease "What happened to him?, when did this happen?!!" Alora asked anxiously "It was just last night" Bjorn said, "Father said he felt a sharp pain in his head, it turned out to be his instincts warning him of something, he walked around the palace and I followed him until we met a random guard stationed at the guest towers" "What about the guard?" Alora asked "It was no ordinary
The Skolgard Islands
WOLF ISLAND Valkori's ship arrived at the Port of the Wolf, it's purple sails displaying the Vernon sigil drew more attention to the already colossal vessel, the sailors and men at the shore watched in absolute awe, it's not everyday you saw a visitor from the Crown at your homeland. A platform was arranged and Valkori stepped out of the ship to walk down, she wore a silver gown and gloves and her full hair was tied to her back, she took a deep breath, this was the first time in her life that her lungs had received foreign air, it was cold and humid, well expected from the atmosphere of the far north Islands, and it had a little fish smell in it. The sky was grey and the air foggy, she observed the men who were walking around at far ends of the shore, there were so many small fishing boats which explained the odour, and sea birds flocked around in the thousands, she took her first step down the platform- "Valkori, wait" Alora called out, she turned to see her, Alora wore a bl
