Maybe in another life he could find her again, it hurt knowing she was going to always want him at her side and they couldn't do anything to make that happen. He'd rather take any dagger to he chest then have to deal with this. "shh.. I know.. " He sight softly to her as she was going on. Sure he thought he should have expressed himself sooner to enjoy his time more with her but it would have hurt more in the end if it had come to this. Or worse could have happened.. she could have been branded as a traitor or killed he didn't want any of that for her so things turned out for the best or that's what he tried to tell himself.

He laughed slightly at her words, she was still the same "being your lover is fine by me.. " Though her next words made him feel guilty that he was leaving her but he had to do it right... there was no way he could force his way through a army to get to the queen. 'please don't miss me.. don't say such a thing I'll want to go back on my words' He thought to himself, he wanted to say forget his plan and find another way but there wasn't one that didn't involve him getting killed anyway.

He held the kiss after her last words not wanting to let her go not after all they had been through and now he was going to just give her up. 'Stupid you knew this would happen' He told himself and he did know it, he had tried to hold his feelings to himself knowing he couldn't have her. He moved his hand to her face to brush away a few stray strands of hair that were covering her face before kissing her again and puling her close to him. The heat from her body against his was almost maddening to his mind, he wanted to remember all of this no matter what happened just to have the memories of what times he did have with her would keep him going. He feared otherwise he might try and throw his life away.. but then how would he protect her.

[gremlin]

She had never felt so passionate with another ever since she had become active with the opposite sex. The warmth of Rhyldrin's body against her own was something that would be burned in her memory. Judith dreaded the days that she craved his warmth the most. He had been so gentle with her, kissing her, caressing her, it was driving her insane. She was now certain that she could never possibly have what she had with Rhyldrin with any other man. Even though she knew it was impossible, she hoped that he would see her again. Though perhaps it would be better for him to stay away from her. She didn't know where she would be in her life, by then she might even be married to the king or not. She couldn't see the future.

Judith felt even more in love with Rhyldrin after their embrace. She wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or a good thing, probably a bad thing. Thinking about him leaving her made her heart hurt even more now, though she knew that there was no one to stop him from doing so. Judith promised herself not to follow him when he left, she knew that he would become angry if he caught her and she would probably lose him anyways. The last thing that she wanted to do was become lost in an unknown territory. Besides if she left then Vrine would want to come too and he would be such a hassle.

Judith's body was close to Rhyldrin's, she rested her head on his chest and began to run her fingers over his stomach playfully. She couldn't help but notice that he had many scars, some of which he had gotten from fighting Brishen. Judith didn't speak much after their embrace, she wanted to enjoy a short silent moment with him. She brought her hand from his stomach to his hand and took it in her own. Judith squeezed his hand tightly in her own, she really didn't want to let go. "Are you leaving now?" she finally asked, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Why did she even ask? She knew the answer already.

[Rosekitten]

He didn't want to answer her question of if he was leaving. He couldn't stay here all night and he knew that it was probably already risky that he had spent this long here. He just didn't want to move and disrupt her really, he rather enjoyed her being close just laying here with her head on him. He needed to answer her though and he needed to sadly get a move on the more time he wasted the more chances of something going wrong.

He sighed a little finally answering her not that he really wanted the answer to be what had come out of his mouth. "I have to.. staying here would cause you trouble with the king.. and I have to go make truth come to the word I gave of passing the message to the Queen." He squeezed her hand in return it wasn't like he wanted to leave. If it was any other circumstances.. he'd just stay here be damned with what people thought. But that wasn't the case he didn't want to ruin her possible shot at having a good life with the king by staying here and being found out, even if she did say she was going to miss him and that she'd always love him unlike any other.

He finally did sit up getting her to move a little though still keeping her close to him. Just a little longer he thought to himself just a few moments. Sighing again he kissed her softly before resting his head against hers. Why did his fate seem cruel no matter what he tried to do nothing ever seemed to repay the hardships he had been through. "I'm leaving now.." He finally spoke again after the kiss. 'before i change my mind.' He thought to himself knowing the longer he stayed the more he hated his choice of action.

Reluctantly he got dressed again and looked at her, it was easy to tell he was sad that he was leaving. He was going to leave the one woman he had ever expressed any form of emotion for. "Maybe.. the next time we cross paths we won't be enemies at the least." He said in a slightly forced enlightened tone, it was the best he had to lighten the mood at the moment. Vrine whined as he walked over to Rhyldrin and pawed at his pants leg. Picking the dragon up he scratched it's chin a little before sitting him on the bed next to Judith. "Keep her safe" He told it before he moved to give her one last kiss and embraced her close.

He left quickly afterwards, if he stayed he'd never want to leave and he already didn't. It felt like he had just ripped his own heart out knowing he'd probably never see her again his lame attempt to lighten the mood was just something to make her feel a little better. After a few moments he had managed to get back to the wall he had scaled to get into the city and jumped onto it before dropping to the outside. Next to a spot in the wall here he could catch his breath a little out of guards view he clenched his fists he already knew what awaited him after he caught up to the Queen's daughter.

'Well.... better get moving' He thought before sighing and checking for guards one last time and then quickly making his way to the forest. He'd have to avoid the guards for the Queen's daughter as well though killing a few wouldn't hurt anything.. not when he was about to give her his freedom. But that'd be another day or two at the least before he met up with her and her troops.. he'd find a place to rest until then.

[gremlin]

Judith knew that if Rhyldrin stayed for any longer she would begin to beg him to stay with her and she couldn't do that. She wouldn't allow her emotions to stop the word of peace. She wouldn't be the one to stop such a thing. Especially considering it was something that she always wanted since she was a young girl. Judith knew that when Rhyldrin left everything would be completely different. When he stood and began to dress she did so as well. Judith reached for the night gown on the floor next to the bed and pulled the night gown over her body. She tugged at the end trying to make it cover her a little bit more. Though like earlier it didn't help much. She sat back down on the bed.

Rhyldrin was right when he said that staying would cause her trouble with the king. Though she wanted to tell him that if he returned she would run away with him. She hesitated to say such a thing then decided that it would be best not to. If the queen's daughter accepted his offer then Rhyldrin would be a married man. Judith decided that if the king asked for her hand in marriage then she might accept. She could never be with Rhyldrin again like this once he left. "Thank you, Rhyldrin." she managed to say. There wasn't much to say and if she said too much then she feared it would distract him from leaving. Judith could only think about thanking him for what he was about to do. "I love you." she whispered as he embraced her once last time. Her arms wrapped around him and she squeezed him tightly. She reluctantly let go of him.

When Rhyldrin left her she closed the window and the drapes. She seemed to be dragging her body to the bed, she had the urge to stand by the window but it was late and she needed her rest. When she crawled under the covers Vrine greeted her with a friendly chirp. She took him in her hands and brought him close to her face. Judith planted a kiss on his nose and let out a heavy sigh. Judith resisted the urge to cry, she knew that if she did it would only give her a headache and Vrine would whimper and crawl all over her trying to figure out what was wrong. Though the little dragon wasn't dumb, he probably would know why she was crying. She reached over and put out the lit candle finally. She wondered how long it would take her to sleep.

[Rosekitten]

He spent the majority of the next few days avoiding scouts and trying to track the Queen's daughters location. He finally did hear word of where she was at by a conversation being held by a few scouts in a mini encampment. She wasn't far from here... he didn't want to do this but he had to he kept telling himself he had to for her. She'd never be able to live safely unless he did this.

He kept to the trees mostly staying off the ground when at all possible, it prevented his detection as he waited for the sun to start rising once more. It'd be safer to get to the future queen then. He had a few hours of waiting to do at the least. Though he hardly had his mind in this and he had been detected a few hours ago and the woman was well aware of him being near her and her group.
Once daybreak was visible through the trees he quickly jumped down from his perch only to be greeted with two spears towards his neck. "tsk..." His ears went back, this wasn't what he had planned. The two standing before him seemed to grin at the same time "She wants to speak with you... " He was surprised he wasn't called traitor in truth, maybe she hadn't spread that word just yet.

Not that he had a choice but he stood slowly and let them take him to her. Once they reached where she was sitting they pushed him forward before forcing him to get down on his knees. "My my my... to what do I owe this little pleasure. To have Rhyldrin of all people show himself to me and my squad.. " She grinned evilly as she spoke her words escaped her lips like ice.

He didn't want to speak at first but after a few moments she barked at him to speak. "I came back to reconsider your offer from before" He forced himself to say as the two guards were still holding him down forcing him to pretty much grovel at her feet. If he wasn't trying to keep the peace he'd show these two that these blades he carried were hardly for show.

She seemed to look him over before laughing and stepping down from where she had been sitting. "OH really? Whats your motive... " She questioned him as she walked towards him and then making a few circles around him and the two guards like a hawk watching pray. "You've never changed your mind before... or did you figure out that your life is worthless and you'll never be anyone without my help" She said in the same icy tone as she stopped in front of him.

'bitch.. i should kill you and your men here' He thought but bit his tongue. "Not that it matters but I need to speak with the Queen, but I figured giving you my freedom was a fair enough trade for that" He wasn't going to toy with giving her some excuse she wasn't the type to fall for it anyway.

"So I see.. "She seemed to think about it a little before she shooed the guards off and grabbed him by his shirt collar. "If you betray your word you'll find yourself dead somewhere or worse I promise you that..." She hissed at him before letting him go. "Also I can't approve of your request without my mother's word on the matter.. so you'll get your audience with her" She spoke again and waved a hand towards him saying she was done with him. "you'll have to wait though she'll be to our current location in a few more days." She smirked a bit she was curious what Rhyldrin was planning, he wanted anything to do with her or the Queen now all of a sudden he asked for both in the same breath.

He bowed his head a little before forcing the next few words out of his mouth. "I shall stay around the camp till them.. mistress" He wanted to cut his own tongue off with the words. 'Just a little longer then everything will be settled' After she excused him he walked off and towards a tree just outside of the encampment as he punched it with his full force. "Damn..." he hissed under his breath. Well it was done pretty much his fate was sealed now but it was for the best.. right.

He sighed afterwards and turned to lean his back against the tree before moving to sit. 'She'll be safe now the elven wars should be no more after I pass the message along..'

[gremlin]

Judith was woken up by a servant early in the morning. He had brought her food and clean clothes. He told her that Bryon was waiting for her downstairs and she really had no clue why. When she met him at the end of the stairs he smiled at her and took her hand gently in his. "I have something to show you," he said as he lead her down a long hallway. "Did you bring your friend?" he asked. At first Judith was confused, but then she realised he was talking about Vrine. "Vrine? Yes, I can't seem to go anywhere without him wanting to come too." she laughed softly and reached her hand in to her pocket. Vrine began to chirp happily as he was tickled.

When they reached the end of the hallway Bryon let go of her hand and used both of his hands to open the door that stood in front of them. He waved at Judith to go in as he held the door for her, when she walked in he stepped in too and closed the door. Judith's eyes scanned the surrounded area, she was left speechless. The room was a massive green house. It resembled a ran forest. There were trees that reached the ceiling, flowers even a man made lake with a waterfall. It was beautiful. "When did you have this built?" she asked him. Bryon smiled at her, he seemed to hesitate. "A few months back, I had it built for a pet." Judith looked at him but then she looked down as Vrine began to wiggle his way out of her pocket. He fell from her pocket on to the ground and ran away. "Hey!" she yelled, Judith didn't see where he had gone. She turned back to Bryon as he began to laugh. "He must smell her scent." he said to her.

At first Judith had no clue what was happening, then Bryon began to explain to her why he had brought her he. "Well, when your little dragon came out from your pouch yesterday I was more thrilled by the sight then anything." he continued to smile as he spoke. Judith then thought that maybe he had built this for her, had he known that she had a dragon all along? Then he continued to speak and things made more sense. "I too have a dragon, when I saw that you have a male I thought that maybe I could introduce him to mine. I have a female." Judith began to smile, she remembered that Rhyldrin had said that dragons were social creatures and maybe being around another dragon would make him act like a dragon more than a house cat. Rhyldrin. She wondered where he was by now and if he was alright.

Her attention was brought back to Bryon as he suddenly stood very close to her. He brought his hand under her chin and lifted her face. Judith wanted to pull away but she couldn't reject the king. "You and your dragon can live here," he said with a smile. "I'll take care of you and him. Will you-" Judith felt as she was about to throw up what she had for breakfast. She abruptly pulled away from him, her mind trying to make up some excuse for this. "I-I have to find Vrine." she said and walked away from him. She walked down a path that led to the river. He had not followed her. Her eyes wandered over the area. Did Bryon want to propose to her? Judith brought herself to sit by the river. There was too much to take in, her head began to hurt.

[Rosekitten]

The next few days passed, they were like hell to his mind. Though once the group met up with the queen and he got some personal space around the woman to explain himself out of the watch of prying eyes she seemed to understand. Though what really sealed the conversation was the news that the current king never issues such a order and that his home was hers if they needed a place until where they use to call home was recovered. Her daughter Sinestra had passed the word that he was a traitor to their kind, though the queen seemed more forgiving then her daughter much like the light elf king. Though she wasn't going to take Rhyldrin's word for this until she heard it from the king's mouth himself.

for the time being the queen never bothered to make any arrangements to hand over leadership of her people to her daughter, this seemed to enrage the girl. Though it also meant that Rhyldrin wasn't bound to her.. for now at least. Instead she made preparations to ride out to the light elf capital to seek a audience with the King himself.

Even riding they still had a days ride before they got to the city gates, though granted they didn't use horses. instead they used a type of large cat this beast was also able to climb very well allowing for sneak attacks even from mounted units if required. The queen was there with only a handful of her soldiers, as well as her daughter and Rhyldrin. The light elf guards seemed tense, though it was easy to see from scout reports they had come with just this few, the main force was still 3 days into the forest and would never get here in time if the Queen herself were to start a fight in the middle of the city.

The Queen had yet to tell her daughter as to why they were headed here with so few troops. Rhyldrin saw Sinestra doing something reckless once she found out, really that was the main reason he agreed to come along. He had wanted to avoid coming back knowing that by now surely the King had made a move on Judith if not more then that. Plus he just couldn't look at her not knowing he couldn't embrace her again.

One of the guards left the front gate to go fetch the King and see what he orders were for the small group of dark elves at the city's entrance. The troops had heard rumors the two sides were going to try to get peace once more but none had confirmed this rumor. Until today that was.

"So why are we here anyway.. Mother" The Queen remained silent as she held her hand towards her daughter to get her to stop asking questions. "You'll know soon enough" She finally spoke as she waited for the guard to return.

[gremlin]

When the guard came back he gave them permission to enter, a few other guards had followed him back and they escorted them to the castle. If any of the villagers tried to cause their guests harm then they were informed to strike them down, even if it were their own neighbour. The king was so close to peace that he wouldn't tolerate any fool getting in the way of it. Though he didn't say to kill the villager, just to put them in their place. When they arrived at the king's castle the guards stepped aside. "The king only wishes to speak alone with the queen, though if any of you wish to speak with him after then you may do so." the guard seemed nervous as he spoke. "You may go unescorted." he said to the queen politely. They didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with the amount of guards that would have brought her to the king. They wanted her to feel as if she were at home.

Bryon had excused most of his servants for today, he didn't want them to be nagging at him or interrupting him as he spoke to the queen. This was an important matter and it would be dangerous to bother him about anything else today. Bryon was a kind man, but when it came to this he wouldn't be kind at all. Well, he would be polite and kind to the queen but everyone else would be seen as a nuisance if they bothered him. Bryon felt nervous as he waited for the queen, he decided not to have her come to his throne room alone. He waited at the bottom of the stairs for her arrival, he would walk with her to the throne room.

Judith was inside of the green room again, she knew that the queen would be here today and though she wanted to meet the woman she knew that it was an inappropriate time to do so. She would meet her eventually since the king wanted to make her his friend. Bryon had tried to find his dragon for her and Judith seemed to have lost Vrine in the massive room. Though today he had come to her as she sat by the river reading. Vrine had crawled in to her lap and began to paw at the pages in her book when she didn't pay any attention to him.

She let out a heavy sigh as she finally closed the book and placed it in the grass beside her. "I need some time to myself sometimes," she said to him and began to scratch behind his ears. Vrine purred and stretched out his body across her lap. "Now where have you been?" she asked him and tilted her head. "You gave me a scare when you ran off like that." Vrine's ears shot back and he whimpered, seeming to understand that he had upset her. Judith ran her hand along his body and let out a heavy sigh. "Oh, stop that." she mumbled.

Judith jumped a little as she felt something tugging at her shirt. When she looked down there was another little dragon starring up at her with snow white eyes. His body was similar to Vrine though she was much smaller and her colors were different. She had black fur and her wings were white, her claws matched her wings. Horns curled around her ears just as they did on Vrine. "Is this your girlfriend?" she asked Vrine and reached out her hand to the female dragon. Bryon had told her that her name was Reine. When Reine nuzzled her face against Judith's hand she sighed. "You're an attention whore too, aren't you?" she asked.

[Rosekitten]

After hearing the king only wished to see the Queen he thought he might be able to get out of here without seeing Judith, sure he wanted to .. but it wouldn't be the same as before. It had been nearly a week when he was last here any number of things could have happened. "Well good means I can be about my way" The Queen gave him a silent smile before speaking softly "Or you can stay here and keep Sinestra out of trouble.. seeing as you've been here before young rogue" His ears dropped a little, damn she didn't miss a beat did she. Though he quickly sighed before speaking with a slight bow of his head "Yes milady..." Though in almost the same motion he looked at one of the light elf guards with a sort of look as if saying kill him now.

The queen took her leave of the group leaving her guards, Rhyldrin and her daughter there. It was a mere few moments before she noticed there was a man at the end of the stairs, by his dress she guessed it was the new Light elf king. She paused a moment before curtsying to him. "I received word that the talks may be resumed after all these years" She said still in a rather soft tone, for the dark elves to be known as killers and savages she hardly seemed to match the description. Her hair was well kept and pulled back to keep out of her face aside form a few trimmed bangs, it's color was odd for her kind being a soft pink matching her eyes. She waited for him to address her further before she moved again.

Sinestra growled a little being left behind before she started pacing, this was making both sets of guards nervous. "Ugh i can't stand waiting!" She finally blurted out before grabbing Rhyldrin by his shirt collar. "tell me why we are here!" She hissed at him as she slammed him against a wall.

he had stopped paying attention when she suddenly flew into him catching him highly off guard. "ack... eh .. what you weren't told?" He grinned a bit thinking bout it, she loved war where her mother just wanted to prevent any further losses like what had happened not so long ago. "The king of the light elves and the Queen of the dark elves are going to continue the peace talks that were dismissed all those years ago." He finally told her as she released his shirt and glared at him.

"Why! we can recover our losses why not give them payback for what they have done to our people! Instead of bowing to their feet" she seemed enraged by this new found fact. "Because blood shed only breeds more bloodshed, don't you see that you lost a sibling to this war others have lost far more." His ears were back it was odd seeing someone stand up to a royal and she wasn't sure how to take such a act.

She finally laughed as she looked at the light elf guards who were really on edge now. "I see..so you really are a traitor.. " She smiled finally as she looked at him and forced him back against the wall again "it's that girl isn't it" she hissed into his ear "you only agreed to all of this to keep her safe... how noble of you.. " She released him for the time being and seemed to calm down, though she was plotting for sure.

[gremlin]

Bryon straightened up as he saw the queen walking towards him. His mind had been elsewhere and when he saw her from the corner of his eye it caught him off guard. He knew it was her because she had come alone as he wanted and he noticed the way that she was dressed and well kept. "Welcome," he said and bowed to her. When he lifted himself he smiled warmly at her. "Yes, I do wish to speak with you about that," he paused for a moment examining her body language. She didn't seem upset, she seemed calm as he did. "May I escort you to the throne room?" he asked. Bryon reached out a hand to her and as she placed hers in his he walked slowly up the stairs with her. When they came to the throne room he opened the door for her then closed it behind him. Bryon had brought a rather large, comfortable chair up to the room for her to sit in. He gestured to it then sat in his own chair. "Please make yourself comfortable, my home is yours milady."

Bryon cleared his throat then spoke. "I want to apologize first for what has happened to your home," he seemed nervous as he spoke about it. He didn't wish to upset her, he couldn't imagine how she felt about it. "I want you to also know that if you need help re-building then I will personally assist you and I will bring along my top men. You can even take resources from my land, I insist." Bryon looked at her, he really meant it when he said it. "Secondly, if you need land then you may have it. I know of some caves and forests, though if you don't want either then I can find some other land that you will like. I want to help you." Bryon let out a heavy breath, now they had to talk about ending this war. "About the war," he didn't break eye contact from her. "I no longer want either of us to suffer from it. I've lost men and so have you. All it's done is cause more problems then we have needed. I had been planning to end it soon but then one of my men became power-hungry and didn't seem to give a damn about anything." he let out a heavy sigh, he wished that he had known what Brishen was planning. Why didn't any of his men inform him? "I think that it's time that we call each other allies rather than enemies." he looked at her waiting for her reply.

[Rosekitten]

She took his hand and allowed her to walk her to the room, once she was seated she still seemed as alert as any of her kind. Her looks were for mere show though she liked staying well kept she could use a blade just like any of them. She seemed to read him as he spoke testing if he was being truthful with her or not. When it seemed he was done she finally spoke in a soft tone. "I don't blame you or your people for the corruption of one. The men of that battle were following orders, mine were simply defending themselves to the best of their ability.. " she looked down a little with a sort of silent prayer for her lost son. "Sorry" she spoke once again after a second "But I agree that our people should have peace between them.. all of these years we've lived side by side in a war locked state." She smiled a little before going on "I think it's only fair to try again, after all the messenger you sent has ensured it made it this far." She figured the king had some kind of idea what Rhyldrin had done to get her audience in the first place with being marked a traitor from before. Though when he seemed to question her she explained a little "I like to keep tabs on my more promising warriors my Lord... but you don't seem to know who your messenger boy is"

She seemed amused by this the king didn't seem to know. "My people don't need land nor help in rebuilding... just the promise of peace and a leader strong enough to uphold the contract. This was the words passed along during the first attempts to make peace between the lands. Back when a young dark elf couple was killed within the light elf's capital along with the small group of guards with them." She seemed to pause a moment before going on. "Your messenger is the son of that couple, though he isn't trained as a ambassador he seemed to fulfill his parents wish either way." She seemed to smile again her words were a little cryptic if you weren't listening carefully. "It would seem the goddess's of the sun and moon have planned this through out the years, for the elves to finally make peace" Her kind believed in the moon goddess while the light elves followed the sun goddess, but the two were said to be sisters who stayed at war with one another but the tale goes on to say that one day there shall be peace between siblings.

"You need not worry about any of my people giving you further trouble, any further conflicts will end without bloodshed." She was explaining they'd still defend themselves but simply take captives instead of killing them. "with that being said my Lord... is there anything you wish of the dark elves, aside from being able to call us allies?" She was curious and acted a bit like Rhyldrin when it came down to it, she'd refuse help till her last breath as would anyone from her kind.

[gremlin]

Bryon was a little surprised when she refused his offer for help and resources, though when she agree that there should be peace he felt calm again. He wasn't prepared if things went wrong, Bryon hadn't even brought any weapons with him to prove a point that he trusted her. "Oh," he said learning of who Rhyldrin's parents were. He was surprised that the man didn't hate Light Elves as any other would. "I can ensure you that for as long as I look over these lands nothing like that shall ever occur. I will not allow bloodshed between our people, anyone who harms one of your people will be personally punished by me. It won't be tolerated. I mean it when I want peace. I want our people to stop hating each other for whatever reasons. It's time to forgive one another and to become allies." Bryon breathed out heavily. "I want peace, you have my word, milady." he smiled at her warmly. "I know that you refused my offer but it does still stand. I will assist you when you need it."

"I understand that," he said and nodded. If any Dark Elves were found causing trouble he would do the same. "I will do the same, I don't want blood on my hands anymore or my people's." though Bryon had never slain another living creature he knew that the war carrying on was partially his fault. He should have been more strict with his men and should have kept a better eye on them. If he had been more absorbed in his men then it might have discovered what Brishen had been planning.

[Rosekitten]

She agreed that Rhyldrin should hate the light elves, though she knew very well why he didn't all the years he had ventured to the edge of the forest... she had kept a very watchful eye on her people even if they didn't think she was doing so. But she'd keep that detail to herself as she smiled warmly at the king before standing. "Well then.. shall we make this official then by telling our people? It'll at least put the guards downstairs at ease" She smiled though it showed a hint that she was laughing at her words.

The tension downstairs was think enough to cut with a knife. Rhyldrin was keeping a watchful eye on Sinestra knowing all too well how rash the girl was and he expected her to not take this laying down even if it was for the best. The girl stayed silent after she had found out, tough she paced once every few minutes and kept a eye to the stairs waiting for the Queen to return with the King of the light elves.

Vrine whined a little before cooing and pawing at Judith's leg, though after he started to walk towards the path way and seemed to want her to follow him. He knew his original keeper was here. The dragon also knew the girl was trying to avoid seeing him even being so young it could understand most things that went on around it. Emotions were something it was very sensitive to. After a moment the dragon gave up seeing as the girl didn't move or even make a attempt to do so.

[gremlin]

"Yes, let us." Bryon smiled at the queen and stood from where he sat as she did. He walked to the door and held it open for her then closed it behind her. Their footsteps echoed as they walked down the stairs. When they reached the entrance to the castle he opened the door and walked outside. A crowd had gathered outside of the castle. They probably heard that the Dark Elves queen was here and that she and their king were speaking about peace. They were whispering as he came out but the crowd grew silent, their eyes went to Bryon and the queen eager to hear what they had to say.

Bryon cleared his throat, it was a habit of his. He always did it before he spoke. "I come baring good news my people," he spoke to them as if they were his friends. Bryon didn't speak down to those who did not hold a high status. "We have come to a long awaited agreement. There will be peace between the Dark and Light Elves." at first the small crowd didn't seem to react then slowly one by one they began to clap. It was overwhelming to see such a positive reaction from his people.

Judith didn't want to follow Vrine when even when he seemed so insistent. Though when she heard sudden clapping she immediately stood from where she sat. Judith ran down the hall and to the entrance of the castle. Her ears perked up, she heard the kings last words. Is this really happening? she asked herself then took a step outside. Her eyes lit up when she saw Rhyldrin but she kept to herself. It was best that they didn't speak to each other and maybe she should have remained inside of the castle.

The queen followed him as he lead the way to announce the news. She feared how his people would take it. Her's would settle on whatever word she gave them minus a few and they could be dealt with accordingly. He seemed to be a excellent speaker and the light elves respected and listened to him while he spoke aloud. She seemed to question the dead silence a moment before noise picked up once more. She finally felt it was ok to breath after this happened.

'Well that's over with.. now... ' His thought was disrupted as he noticed that Sinestra had vanished from sight suddenly. "Shit" He said before moving to go find her. "damn it if you do something stupid now .. " He growled under his breath as he walked. The guards of both sides took notice that Rhyldrin seemed on edge about something though they had forgotten about the girl by now in all the noise going on.

By the time he found the girl his ears dropped suddenly. 'Don't you dare... ' He thought his breath stopped thinking she really wouldn't but she was wasn't she. The guards wouldn't get there in time if he let them handle this even though they had just picked up on what he saw as well. Sinestra standing behind where the king and queen were, her pose said she was preparing to strike and he could guess what target she was going for.

The light elf guards were already on the move trying to get to the King's side before this took place though they knew they'd never match the gap before she could strike. "Tsk" He hissed out before darting forward and putting his skills to good use. It took no time before he had managed to get up to where the two royals were his Queen seemed to question his sudden action. It had all happened so fast they hadn't noticed just yet what was about to take place.

Sinestra had already started her charge as she screamed out in her native tongue. Though this was put to a end quickly seeing as Rhyldrin had made it just in time and ducked between the King and Queen tackling Sinestra to the ground. "Damn it what the hell's your problem?" He yelled at her trying to keep her arms still though he had failed to grab both of them and was rewarded for it as she slammed a dagger into his stomach. Her eyes were wild and showed that she was enraged as she still struggled against his hold.

Flinching slightly from the stab he couldn't afford to let her go as he finally got both of her arms and forced her against the ground. "Your damn insane... " He breathed out trying to keep her still as the guards finally caught up to where he was taking over holding her down. He gladly let them take over as he moved away from her covering the wound for the time being and not showing that he had been stabbed as he stood there to see what the Queen would do.

Two of the dark elf guards made the girl stand and look at the queen as she walked towards her daughter. "You.. I'm ashamed of you" She growled at her the soft tone form before was gone "Your far from ready to take my place, and that being said you know very well what that also means." The girl clenched her teeth suddenly before crying out "We shouldn't be calling them our ally!" Though the second half set in as she laughed a little "Oh well, I made sure he was rewarded for siding with the damn light elves.." She hissed out in a icy tone towards her mother. The Queen had meant she knew well that Rhyldrin had said he'd do whatever Sinestra wanted to make this happen and seeing as her daughter wouldn't be queen so long as she drew breath she had no use in having a assigned mate.

"now take her back to the encampment.. make her walk the whole way maybe she'll regain herself in the process I will deal with her when I return" Two of the guards nodded and the Queen's words as they made her walk after binding her hands behind her and in such a manner the locks were impossible to break or be picked.

Te queen quickly turned to the Knight and fell to her knees with a deep bow to him. "I'm so sorry for my daughters outburst, do not think ill" The three guards she had with her still followed her motion and bowed as well. Rhyldrin followed this order from the Queen though he was still keeping the wound covered for the time being. After that he didn't want to cause further worry for the Queen, he'd deal with it in a moment there there was a few drops of blood on the ground.

Vrine sat down next to Judith catching the girl's reaction when she say Ryldrin. He whined a little before looking to Reine. The dragon didn't understand why the two refused to be together, was color and background really that much of a deciding factor? The dragon didn't understand what was going on and then the sudden commotion or from the sounds of it it was a sudden commotion.. he whined again turning his head towards Judith.

The king was stunned at the woman's reaction though he knew that not all Light Elves and Dark Elves would agree with the idea of peace. "I won't judge you upon the actions of another," he said to the queen accepting her apology. He was glad that Rhyldrin had reached her in time, the last thing that he needed to happen now was bloodshed. Though if Rhyldrin had not reached her he would have dealt with her even if she struck him first. The crowd below seemed tense after what had happened. Bryon looked over the crowd and managed a smile. "What you saw does not change anything. Peace still stands between us and the Dark Elves as it was announced." he saw the uneasiness from his people. "Don't forget that not all of them are like that. Just as we are not all the same." he felt that he needed to remind them of this. He didn't want them to doubt his decisions. A king needed his people's trust and love.

Judith took Vrine in her hand and held him to her chest closely. At first she too didn't realise what was going on. It had happened so suddenly, when she saw Rhyldrin was hurt she placed Vrine on her shoulder and went to him immediately. I don't care if they see, she thought to herself. She could no longer be called a traitor for caring for another who was not like her. Besides she didn't think that a majority of her fellow people would turn their backs on her now, they seemed thrilled when the king announced that the war was ending. Still didn't mean that they would tolerate the sight of a Light Elf with a Dark Elf, but she was hopeful. Judith gently brought her hand to the one he held on his wound. "Rhyldrin," she whispered to him. "You're such a brave man." Vrine remained perched on her shoulder, he knew this wasn't the time to ask for attention. Though he did let out a high pitch whine.

Bryon took notice that Judith was being kind to Rhyldrin. It didn't irritate him though, maybe they could be a good influence for his people. He wondered what would become of the two now that there was peace but he doubted that anything would happen. Bryon brought his attention back to his people and smiled. "Tonight we will celebrate!" he said, the villagers cheered. He looked at the queen and took her hand in his, he placed a kiss on her hand gently. "Will you and your men join us in celebration?" he asked her.
