[IC] Medieval Kingdom

[Yaneznayo]

Galen addressed the rat lord without turning his attention from the queen. "It is not my intention to be stealthy in my following the queen. That would defeat my purpose. I do have a task for you, however, if you truly wish to help. There's a young witch in the ballroom. I believe she will be fawning over a very sullen looking knight. Give her a note to arrive at the stables near sunrise."
He turned and continued to walk down the hallway behind the queen. She obviously didn't want company, but Galen couldn't help but feel something was going to happen... With the queen being one of the focal points.

Ocgnoton smiled wild and slightly giggled as he began to merge with the fray in what seemed like a dramatic climax to his saga of the woods he doubted he'd actually be of real use but here he was, a about to find himself dealing with a witch, he could already smell her, she was different from the others, more... potent. Wandering through the ball room in a quick but rather elegant pace he neared were he believed her to be, he had already written his note and was ready to attempt reverse pickpocketry, all he needed to do was bump into her and the cogs would be turning for sure. "I hope you all realize once a rat borrows it's way into your life, it never leaves" he spoke to himself in a eerie way.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Lorelai had hesitated. She had meant to follow the queen and put her plan into action then. Lawrence decided it was his turn. The knight took the princesses hand and lead her to the dance floor. For a while the two danced idly, though not even remotely focused on each other. When they got close Lawrence smiled at the king and queen.

"Greetings your highness." He said with a deep bow, Lorelai curtsied. "If it is not too much trouble, I would like to request a moment of your time." He gave him a kind, yet slightly mischievous smile, eye brow quirked up. He leaned in close to the king's ear to whisper. "Lorelai wishes to beseech the queen with a present for your child. If you could grant them only a moment's time alone. Bonding and such is the way of women." Lawrence winked.

The princess smiled bashfully at the queen and nodded.

[KiraChan]

Irena closed her eyes and gave a peck on the cheek to steffan and looked over at lorelai and Lawrence optimistically and nodded to him. The queen was quite worried but only showed signs of confusion "Alright, shall we?" She said as ahe strode off to an exit

Flair saw the rat lord and immediately turnes the other way.. not a good friend to have she thought to herself...and tries to avoid him. She throws ash into the air and it creates a mist around her blocking her scent and keeping her hiddedn so to speak

[manapool1]

Ocnoton was not fazed by the ash despite loosing smell and sight he was already like an arrow heading straight for her, he was surprised she had managed to spot him and understand his mission but otherwise he would have so little fun with her. "oh don't be so rude, can't you let a poor messenger do his bidding" he asked in a eager tone realizing how bad a situation he was at this point, he'd need to get this over with quick, before guards could get to him.

[KiraChan]

Flair glared "hand it over and be on your way, the gaurds have had me in their sights all evening " she wasn't afriad of all the gaurds just isiah, which always had the right words for everyone. Flair dug into her pockets noticing she had no more ash

[manapool1]

Ocgnoton saw on her face she was out of her special ash and smiled. "oh but my feelings are hurt now, you're such a rude little girl" he spoke in his quirky tone before handing over the letter. "met the out side at the stables, I hope you're not in trouble, I can't have anything happening to you on my conscious" he giggled before bowing and swaying in a step back, he was still rather lost in the sauce at the moment and his footing was starting to loose it's edge. Still he laughed at his own new found clumsiness. "oh I feel so ditsy today, such occasions always leave me so" he spoke as he hit the wall and side down to his rear and sat down.

[KiraChan]

Flair rolled her eyes and crinkled up the note and ate it "Great.. im going to get my ass kicked" she said and with that she vanished and appeared at the stables outside. Her hands on her hips and she snapped her fingers, her clothes turned back into a hooded robe and tight leather clothes under. Hair returned to its former red glory but her eyes stayed the same greenish blue, darkened by hate

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Lorelai followed Irena out and to the chamber halls. The two went to Lorelai's room. The princess smiled at Irena and went to her closet. "You know, I was always so excited to become an aunt." She spoke with sincerity as she searched the closet. "Having children of my own always seemed like a distant dream, you see."

+++++++++++++

When the princess and queen left, Lawrence, who was still with the king, spotted a "well known" hand maid who grinned at him. "If you'll excuse me." He said as he grinned at the woman. The two of them disappeared from the public eye. To anyone who saw them, it would seem like two adults off to romp, but he soon departed from the woman and went in the direction of the chambers.

+++++++++++++

Lorelai pulled a small wooden box from the wardrobe. "I know Steffan wants a boy, all men do it seems. But just in case..." She handed Irena the small wooden box that held a tiny, pale pink dress. "It was my first dress from my father." Lori said, pulling something from under her bed. It was another box, similar to first, but larger.

"I had this made a while ago, simply because it seemed lovely, but now I have a reason to give it to you." The dress in the box was long and white with gold and red embroidery and sleeves that touched the floor. Lorelai lead Irena over to her large mirror so she could see herself, Lorelai smiling softly behind her.

[KiraChan]

Irena was shocked at the sight of both the dresses, she knew deep down lori would be happy about the baby she just needed time to think. "They are so beautiful, lovely even" het voice seemed warm but dry .. now was the time to tell her "You must know, this baby is your brothers...isiah and i shared only a kiss.. it was a kiss of thanks for saving my life, nothing more i promise" Her eyes nearly watered at that poin but the tears were held back "please forgive isiah, he needs you" she said softly and places her hand on lorelai's and squeezes it. For a whole minute the queens eyes darkened with a flicker of fire

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Lorelai smiled back at the teary eyed Irena as shs held her hand. She stared back into the queens fiery gaze with an eerie calm.

"No." Lorelai said, voice barely above a whisper. "No one needs me." Her calm smile dropped as darkness absorbed her eyes, leaving them a dark, inky black. Then, using the dagger she got from her queen, she attacked. Plunging the blade into Irenas side. It would have been fatal but the last shred of Lorelais self control had been to protect her friend, thus aiming the attack for a less deadly spot so Irena would have a chance to live.

+++++++++++++++++++

Outside, Lawrece casts an enchantment to conceal the room so Lori could work undisturbed. He leaned on the door to the room, grinning ear to ear.

[KiraChan]

in the mere seconds of her stabbing the queen let the tears slide down her face and she let out a roar of anger and pain, her eyes darkened and blood spilled from her she stood up and growled. Her dragon side was back and she could control it. In a demonic like voice she shouted "you would harm a pregnant woman? Your own queen!" She glared and large wings suddenly sprouted from her back "If it weren't for Isiah i would snap your pretty little neck!" a fierce roar sounded and the queen slapped lorelai across the face with a wing leaving a welt. "I hope that serves as a reminder of who i am, The queen Your brothers wife, whom shall not be treated like this" she says and leaves blood soaking her dress still she punches Lawrence out of her way and goes into her room. Puts bandages over the wound herself and goes back to the party with another set of clothes, in search of the king

[Yaneznayo]

As soon as Lawrence cast the enchantment, Galen sprang into the hallway.
"Lawrence... why have you shielded the room? What's going on in there?"
He began plucking at the spell's weave, unravelling it while quickly and agressively approaching the queen's chambers. While he did so, he threw up several defensive runes and turned up his leeching spell, gathering the excess power in a special gem he always carried.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

"Gah!" Lorelai was hit but barely stumbled. Lawrence pulled himself from the ground with a grin, glancing at Galen.

"What now, my Queen?" Lawrence asked Lorelai.

Lorelai sneered and gave a fierce smile. "Time for some guests, Lawrence. It's a party after all." She walked in the direction of the ballroom, her veins turning black and her sabre, now dark, in her hand.

Lawrence bowed and turned to Galen with a chuckle. "Sorry old man, but the Queen commands a REAL party."

Immortutos Necrosum En'en

Fiery summoning circles appeared on the ground and two large demons separated Galen from Lawrence. "Enjoy that, my old friend." He then followed after Lorelai.

In the ball room the party was in full swing. Lorelai walked with purpose, smiling with dark intent. "Come out dear Harlot Queen. Allow me to wretch the unborn child from your womb." Her sabre glowed with a sickly, green light and black inky tendrils seemed to bind it to her arm.

[Drakeonis]

Isaiah had been monitoring the room from a corner and everything was going smoothly until Irena had walked back into the ballroom looking very much unhappy. He was making his way over to her, to ask what had happened when Lorelai walked into the room brandishing her sabre. His heart stopped when he gazed into her blacked out eyes as the strange tendrils weaved around her arm.Other knights and guards had already drawn their weapons at her threat and were moving towards her. Seeing that he found his voice again. "Are you all mad? Drop your weapons!This is your princess!" He moved closer to her slowly removing his helm as he did so he could look her in the eyes. What had happened to her? "My princess stop this please.This isn't you!"

[KiraChan]

Seeing Lorelai folow her with deadly intentions she grabes steffan and shifts into full dragon crashing the party -Litteraly- her dragon self roared loudly and irena grabed isiah as well and leaped into the air flying high above the caslet "I'll get you both to safety, then deal with her" she said and flew to a distant kingdom where more of her kind roamed. The other dragons growled at the two men but backed off when irena snapped her jaws at them. there were about 20 dragons and all seemed to bow in respect to the queen. she set them down softly and morphed back into her human body "They will keep you safe, pleas stay here i will return" she says and gives a kiss to both men and takes off in hybrid form 5 dragons folowed her back to the castle. "The princess must not be harmed... much" she said and they swooped down breathing fire around the room killing the demons and 2 go for lawrence. Irena heads stright for Lorelai and three dragons aid her "You are outnumbered and outmatched, quit now and maybe i'll spare your life" the demonic queenly voice sounded then a gust of wind blew in

Flair Noticed all the dragons lead by the queen into the castle "Well i guess someone will need my help" she snaps her fingers and apperas in the destroyed ball room dragons fighting demons and lawrence. "Yikes!" she said and a fire ball aimed at her flew past her she put a protective force feild of pure water and rock around her "Any dragons that harm me will die" she announced and went in a corner and saw galen out in the hall and made her way over to him shield up and dangerous gleem in her eye. Within ear range she said "Are you the stables guy?" she asked and got closer to him letting him in her sheild "This will protect us from the dragons and the darkness that is spreading to everyone" she said and glared out and saw the queen and the princess

[Yaneznayo]

watching the queen storm out of the room with her blood soaked dress, he felt a very familiar, very powerful presence in the room. It was Lorelai... wielding a power he had hoped was long dead... one of very few he was virtually powerless against. The dark power coursed through her veins, and her aura was enough to weaken his legs even with the spells he had set. A very strange thought occured to him then. After his three centuries as first wizard... this one woman now had the power to kill him instantly if she so chose. He swallowed hard, and with thoughts of protecting the guests, stepped in the path of the princess.
"Lorelai... I had hoped that presence I sensed was only a phantom... but now I see it was you. Please... I know you are angry... but do not do this... if you take the life of another, even one yet unborn, an ancient power will consume you."
It was all Galen could do to withstand the aura. He hoped his words were getting through.

Before he could react, though two large demons appeared. He channeled shielding spells to protect the rest of the people in the room. He just had to hold out until the room was cleared, then he could focus on the banishment spells.

"Pretty brave strutting through a battlefield like that, girl. I appreciate the help. Now help me get everyone to safety!"

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Lawrence's minions crumbled but soon reformed themselves. He created more and more so they filled the halls and ball room. The hellish demons set everything ablaze, attacking every dragon with brute force. The warlock knight himself was now adorned in armor set on fire. He stood at his Lady's side.

"Little cow." Lorelai tsked, shaking her head. "You will rule no longer." The sinewy darkness that coated blade, bubbled and writhed. She raised the sabre to her palm and sliced it. The blood should have poured red but inside black blood dripped onto the ballroom floor. "I. Am. A. Queen." She hissed. The few drips of blood boiled and swelled, morphing into a giant, black raven that screeched with hate and hunger before lunging at the queen.

((They're gone? Well that's no fun....ISIAH GET YER BUTT BACK HERE))

[KiraChan]

(Edit i took isiah and steffan away they are not at the castle anymore)

[Drakeonis]

((Someone tell me which way we're going with this so I can post accordingly.))
