[IC] Path of enlightenment and love (Mike the Bloodwolf and BeautifulSnow) (1x1 RP)

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike smiled at Diablo and said "You know, I was always wondering when you would finally propose to her", he shook Diablo hand and gave him a brotherly hug as Diablo had always been like a brother to him and the feeling was mutual. Diablo smiled as he said "I've been waiting for a long time to be able to do that and now just seemed like the right time". Mike chuckled and nodded to him

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth and Nayra gave a hug to each other again and then Elsbeth let the her go, looking at her with a smile. ''I would sure to be happy to help you making your own dress'' Elsbeth said. ''Well, that would be wonderful.. I am not really a dress person myself... I always hide a pair of trousers under my skirt... Which Diablo thinks is very funny'' Nayra said. Elsbeth giggled and then gave Mike a last kiss on his cheek. ''You should really go now...'' she said and then left the room to go to their chambers.

(Shall we do a time skip to after the wedding, to lets say the 7th / 8th month of Elsbeths first pregnancy or something?)

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

(Ok then, do you want to start it then?)

[BeautifulSnow]

3/4 year later

Elsbeth was sitting with Nayra in the garden, chatting about Nayra's wedding which was a wonderful happening, just a month ago. ''You looked wonderful in your dress'' Elsbeth said. ''Oh.. But I also loved your dress'' Nayra said with a smile. ''You made it Silly!'' Elsbeth said, she was close to her 8th month of pregnancy and soon Mike's daughter, the Eagle Queen, would come over and visit them. Elsbeth and she remained friends, even now that Elsbeth would be seen as the 'steph mother'.. They were the same age, so it was really weird, and so they decided that they would remain as friends and not start any weird family bond.

''I really hope to get pregnant soon too.. You know, your hair looks away fuller now'' Nayra said. Elsbeth smiled. ''True.. But I hate it that I can't turn into a dragon now.. I miss my wings'' Elsbeth said and looked up when she heard someone walking on the path. She saw Mike and Damian. Three months ago, Mike and she had decided that he would do more work with the knights and help her a bit ruling the kingdom but that he is more a knight that a king. She had agreed with it, since she didn't want him to be unhappy. ''Look who are there'' Nayra said and turned around. ''Our wonderful husbands'' Elsbeth said with a smile, she got up and Nayra helped her. Elsbeth walked over, slowly, since her belly didn't let her walk fast.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

(Diablo)
Mike and Diablo had been talking a lot on the journey back. They had inspected the temple as they were both worried abot Murtar reappearance. However there fears vanished when they saw there wives and they both greeted themir respective wives with a hug and a kiss on the lips.

[BeautifulSnow]

(Again? xD LOL)

Elsbeth smiled and laid a hand of Mike on her belly, right at the moment his hand touched her belly, he could feel a small feet kick against it from the inside. ''Nayra thinks it is going to be a boy.. I hope for a girl'' she said with a smile. ''How was the temple?'' she then asked and smiled happily, she was very happy that he was back and she hoped that he could stay home for a few days, or weeks.. It was getting harder for her to stand up every day now.

Nayra hugged Diablo and smiled. ''Please say that there is nothing wrong with the temple'' she said and she looked at her husband. ''Oh.. I am making a little knight outfit for the baby from Elsbeth and Mike'' she said and smiled.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike smiled as he felt the baby kick as he said "I kinda hope its a girl as well for the first born". His look changed a little when She asked him about the temple. "Well, things don't seem to bad" Mike said as he looked at Diablo. "As of yet, we could feel nothing from the temple so we should be good for now. But we did find a cult that are dedicated to Murtar that keep meeting there" Diablo finished for Mike.

[BeautifulSnow]

''isn't there a way to get rid of them?'' Nayra asked, Elsbeth remained quiet. She really didn't like the idea of violence even though the come back off Murtar would be terrible. ''Shall we discuss that later?'' Elsbeth asked and looked at the sun. ''If I am right, Anna will come soon, she really likes to arrive at sunset'' she said and smiled. ''Oh yes! The Eagle queen was going to come today..'' Nayra said and smiled. She walked to the table and placed all the baby clothes in a box. ''I am going to take this home.. It will be ready this weekend'' Nayra said with a smile. Elsbeth looked at Mike and took a hold of his arm. ''Shall we go to the front of the palace?'' she asked with a smile.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Diablo walked up to Nayra and gave her a kiss on the lips before he said "I'll carry the box for you my love". He picked up the box gently and bowed to Mike and Elsbeth one last time before he moved on.
Mike nodded to her as he connected arms with her and kissed her on the lips as he said "Sure it will be nice to have a walk with my beloved". Mike closed his eyes briefly to let the wind go rustling though his hair.

[BeautifulSnow]

Nayra smiled and let Diablo carry the box, after a fast reverance to Elsbeth and Mike, she ran after him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

Elsbeth smiled and held Mike's arm, laying her head briefly on his shoulder looking up at him. ''I bet that Anna is gonna hug you..'' she said with a smile as they slowly walked to the front of the palace. She was sure about the fact that she slowly got tired of being pregnant, she wanted to spread her wings again but wasn't able to since during pregnancy changing was not only allowed, also impossible to do. Elsbeth laid a hand on her belly. ''If it is a girl.. Her name will be Jania, right ?'' she asked and smiled. ''But, what if it is a boy?'' she then asked.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

"If its a boy, we should call him David" Mike said to her with a deep smile and he then kissed her deeply as he said "I love you Elsbeth more and more every single day we are together and apart"

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, she smiled and after the kiss she laid her head on his chest. ''I also want to give him your name.. My mother's name was Beth.. that is why I am Elsbeth..'' she said and smiled. ''I really would like to pass that trough, if you don't mind'' she said with a smile.

At the same moment, a small group of huge eagles and one more griffin looking landed, they morphed to humans and there stood Anna, with her husband and some knights. ''Father! Elsbeth!'' she said happily and, maybe totally not queen like, she ran to them. Elsbeth did a step aside and gave daughter and father a moment alone. Anna hugged Mike and she smiled. ''I am so glad..'' she said with a smile. Anna's husband walked to Elsbeth and bowed. ''Mother'' he said. ''Oh please! I am not her stephmother.. Or I am.. but we were not gonna treat each other like that'' Elsbeth said. ''Then, how would you like to be called?'' he asked. ''Elsbeth is fine'' Elsbeth said with a smile. ''Then I'll stick to that'' he said with a smile.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike thought about it for a few minute before he nodded to her and said "Alright then, Maybe we'll name our first son Michael Jr or Mike Jr", he gave her a kiss on the cheek before he saw the eagles landed and smiled as he saw his daughter honestly he would of done the same thing she did but he held her close to him as she hugged him and he said "Hello my darling daughter". Mike smiled at her. It had been a long time since he last saw her and she looked so much more mature now. Though at the same time, Mike knew that deep inside she would want to visit her mother grave again. Though out the years, Mike had tended the flower round Jania grave after he had finished, he always brought fresh ones and told her about what had happen on that day.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth smiled and waited until Anna came to her, they hugged and Anna looked at her belly. ''How is my baby brother?'' Anna asked. Elsbeth looked confused and curious at Anna. ''Sorry, just have the feeling it will be a brother.. It is still a bit weird but it is clearly that my mother is okay with you having dad'' Anna said and kept on smiling. On off the knights from the eagle kingdom walked up with special Mountain flowers. ''These are the best flowers we have in my kingdom... Shall we bring them to the grave daddy?'' she asked and smiled. ''You do not mind, do you Elsbeth?'' Anna asked. ''Silly girl... Go on, I am not minding at all'' she said with a smile. Elsbeth looked at Anna's knights, since they all had been here already for the wedding she smiled. ''You all have the same room as last time, the maids will bring you there if you like'' she says.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike smiled at Anna as she said that it would be a baby boy. He chuckled a little and when he looked at the flowers that Anna had brought some tears came to his eyes. He still missed Jania but he was very happy with Elsbeth. He nodded to Anna and said "Those flowers are perfect, Jania will love them", he hugged his daughter one more time before he said "My darling Elsbeth, I'm going to take Anna to Jania grave. We'll see you in a little while". He kissed Elsbeth on the cheek before he leaded Anna to Jania grave.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth smiled and looked at Father and daughter that walked off. She then turned around and went inside the palace. Most of the Eagle guards were gone to their room and only three were still around Elsbeth. She looked at them with a smile. ''Please go unpack your stuff gentleman'' she said. One looked at her and shook his head. ''No my queen, our queen told us to stay around you, since you carry her baby brother and you have to be well protected'' the man said. ''That is very kind but then promise me that you go when the others are back'' she said. ''We will Queen Elsbeth'' the same man said and gave the queen a little smile.

Elsbeth walked to the dining hall, followed by two eagles and two dragons. She looked at Diablo and Damian and smiled, and then looked at the two eagles and also smiled. Anna really is like her father, very protective over those she loves she thought and smiled about it, she looked at the table and gave orders to get some extra plates, since the maids had not brought the plates for Anna and her husband yet. ''And make sure that the chef makes the favourite dishes of the eagle queen and king.. Something with fish if I was right'' she said with a smile. Dragons mostly liked deer, bear and other forest animals, Eagles were birds that mostly lived near the water and so Elsbeth knew that they liked fish.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Diablo was close to Elsbeth as he did not fully trust the eagle guards though he trusted Mike and Elsbeth judgement on them. He looked at Anna husband and wondered how he had fallen in love with Anna. He walked up to him and asked him "If you don't mind me asking, what attracted you to Mike's daughter in the first place?"

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth couldn't help to smile some on Diablo's comment. The king of the eagles looked at him and gave Diablo a small smile. ''Well, for one.. You are right, it officially isn't your business'' he said and then smiled a little more. ''But since you are so curious... I am not a blue blood at all... I was a helper in the kitchen, serving food and doing the chores.. Anna had her eye caught on me, why I still don't know since she doesn't want to tell me.. I always tried to keep a distance, she was our princess. But soon I started to feel the same for her and we got ourself into a secret relationship. When Anna told the former king that she was in love with me, her father told her who was her real father and that he knew this would happen'' he said. ''We married two years ago and still are madly in love with each other... I hope you all want to call me James.. I am not a real king.'' he said.

''Hmmm.. Almost sound like the story of Mike and me'' Elsbeth said with a smile, she had walked to the two man and now laid her hand on Diablo's shoulder. ''Relax Diablo.. There is clearly nothing to worry about. I trust them... We both know that our eyes are able to see the good and bad in people.. I see only good in James heart'' she said and smiled. Then she turned back and looked at the sun which was slowly setting.

At Jania's grave:

Anna looked at her father and smiled. ''You know.. Dad.. James is just like you, not a royal... He was a kitchen help.. Serving food and doing chores when I my eye caught on him..'' she said with a smile and laid the flowers down. ''Hello mother... I just was about to tell dad about James.. He really is like dad.. Both don't like the crown and fancy clothes. James wears them because I think they make him look more handsome'' she said with a giggle. ''Elsbeth seems really good for dad mommy.. I believe that she will restore Draconia.. And together as both Queens of the Eagle's and Draconia, we will renew the bonds between the kingdoms'' she said with a smile. ''That always was your dream, right mom?'' she said and laid her hand on the stone. ''Dad? I really love what you and Elsbeth made of mom's grave'' she said with a tear blinking in her eye.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Diablo did indeed relax a bit more once he heard James story, he nodded and said "Well, I hope to introduce you to my wife Nayra soon but last I heard she went out to get some silk from a rare slik tree not that far from here"

Jania Grave:

Mike listened silently to Anna as he smiled and nodded to her as he said "I know, I was really happy when the grave was rebuilt here in the Royal graveyard. She's not that far from her parents. I'm not sure if you remember your Grandfather Nigel and your grandmother Levena". Mike looked at the grave for a few second before he snap his fingers "Oh yes that remind me, Jania left something for you. She was going to give it to you when you came of age .... had that man Murtar not betrayed us" Mike said with a low angry growl before he searched his pocket and pulled out a dragon shaped hairclip with the mixture of three scale colors. "Jania made this for you with her own hands, while I was spending the day with you when you were just a dragonling learning to fly, she said it was symbol of the family eternal bond together" Mike said to her, in the light it was clear that the Hairclip glowed Sky blue, Lavender pink and (What ever color you want Anna scales to be before she became half eagle, half dragon). On the hairclip as well was the ancient Draconia symbol for eternal bonds.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth shook her head softly and had liked the little conversation between Diablo and the Eagle king, it sure was a thing Mike and he had discussed or would discuss soon too. She felt that Diablo saw Anna as a neice or something, at least someone very important. As the Alpha female she could feel that and she really liked that. She then looked at the roof of the dining room, after the major fight between her... 'father' and Mike, she had made every ceiling of glass, so everyone could see the sky, she really liked to see the dragons flying over, also that counted for the birds and clouds.

Anna looked at her father and then at her mothers grave again. When he stood up and handed her the hairclip, she didn't know what to say. ''The.. Wait... Is that soft pink the color of my dragon?'' she asked and looked at her father. She let her finger follow the dragonsymbol and smiled softly. ''My eyes are pink.. Nobody's sees it because mostly in the winter they are darker... But in spring and summer they are very light pink..'' she said. ''It is my dragons color.. I never knew why, but now I do..'' she said with still a little smile. ''Thank you so much Daddy..'' she hugged him and once they let go again, she placed the clip in her high ponytail, where everybody could see it. ''Shall we go back? They are probably waiting for us to start with dinner, and Elsbeth can't stay out of food for too long now she is carrying my brother'' Anna said with a giggle.
