"Find Emperor Kyro!" 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBIr9Metev

A chill ran through their spines the moment they heard the Grand Marshall yell of help. It made them shudder as a freezing cold wind would wake someone, blood ran cold and a bead of sweat dripped down their faces, They bolted and scattered, not one guard would dare sit there helpless not acknowledging of what to do, they rushed excessively scared to even recall.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OH030jGdb
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFYrJeFYT9
"If you don't find the king, none of you will be able to find your families!"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y5VBWfq2f
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7A9LgfLRf
The shouting was fury within the air, a way to take the anger from the Grand Marshall and transfer the tension in all of the guards. He didn't just raise his voice, his muscles tensed and he got mightily in close for maximum impact. After that they would give in, discovering the left behinds of the fur that laid unknowingly near one of the passage ways.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxSSL8uT8g

Their greasy, graying skin split like tree bark. Wiry black hairs sprouted. Their once kindly colored eyes melted into a heavier, more ruddy color. Their bones maneuvered under his skin like mechanical snakes; audible cracks sliced through the guards. Each shifted into a scruffy hairy beast. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv2S23TiS3
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWDHGWu4JU
Their bodies managed to spike filled hairs, noses swiveled into snouts, mouths ajar and snarled with huge canines, their clothes ripped into several pieces thinned out with their tensed spines, Claws as long and enormous enough to shed some blood, their hands pivoted into roughed patches of lathered paws.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII6bszs70O
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyPYL8Txu8
They were no ordinary packs of guards, they were a pack of humanely wolves. Each bared their canines at each other, snarling.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCGUXYGyev
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyOuMRTEGO
Ahead of them, posed a high mighty Alpha, thickened fur filled with inkiness, paws bigger than the rest of the wolves, hair raised within its back, and a piece of its ear sliced, the snout embezzled with scars. A day, had passed since the king hadn't returned since the storm had given a roaring violent weather. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBNqZ6ap8G

Amid the starlight, the ever glow of the moon, that mother of the sky whom spectated over every beating heart, steady and true, They awaited their orders, hoping that as night had fallen, will their intentions run wild.
**
The egg yolk sun poured through the cracks in the blind and awaited entrance into my eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, I hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with a bit of success. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoheALg5dpz
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnFLUTYQAE
Endeavor and Beau accompanied by the edges of the bed, as the maidens cleaned the dirt spots bequeathed onto the floor.
Upon waking, I burrowed myself into the warm, soft sheets. I rubbed the remainders of sleep from my eyes and gazed out at the horizon; its vivid light extended across a rosy sky. I supposed this was something the majority of people would consider beautiful, but I found it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in something so every-day. It's not like the sun wouldn't rise, it had, after all, been reliably happening since the beginning of time.
"Your majesty, the Emperor had told me, it is time for you to undergo some breakfast with the emperor once again."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QhwNOF3rX
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8wUiHZsC6
Beau had mentioned before clutching the sheets within her hands and pulling it down leisurely, I rolled my head a bit to gaze up towards Beau and Endeavor. perking upright, my hair drooping onto my shoulders.
I face to the left where Beau had stood, but as I rub my eyes to take away the blurred vision of tiredness. I nodded, before inching myself to the edge of the bed, where the maidens had taken their time, getting me prepared for the breakfast.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX02GrpTo8
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTX48ECzR
I stood tall whilst my back straightened, I wore the tightened creamy sheets of the silk dress that slipped onto my shoulders, peppering my body with soft, sensual kisses. Like a lover, it seduced the senses and conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKxbOjCvHb
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98WNfAvy9Z
my hair, irked back with a slim bun curled within its bottom, The maidens rendered their best to persuade on prepping me with makeup, but to my liking, I insisted I had stayed as a natural beauty.
"You look beautiful, your majesty"
uttered Endeavor, smiling, I could've said I envision myself as the same person, but it would lose some of my confidence.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWohUIEBy3
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzlVW7ZtF
I gave a subtle sigh, where I had smiled, yet the smile is the prettiest thing I've done in a while, for it extends to my eyes and deep within my soul. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhtd9wkTQ
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5QbfAiJmb
A knock came, and the door had suddenly swung open, there stood a man that I had either despised nor loved, The figure perked and revealed itself other than hiding behind the gigantic doors. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1xdHcpvs
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPaRDOweog
"You look lovely as always, Empress."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Mrvgh9QR
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqQvkgM4tz
His voice hushed against his throat, as if he was hiding his enduring compliments within his folds, I observed his boots tapping against the pavement of the floor, his grimaced face, even when he approaches me, I could feel the subtle hatred protruding out of him.
I gawked an eye to him, where he approached me close as ever, then as his figure had towered before me, another figure stood within its way, Lady Ophelia perched by the door way, her smile, the brightest whilst within the room.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI3nUgeF4e
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk09xkBz7mU
"Lady Ophelia, Emperor Eros."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7t0q3Uuic
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3JYguMv32
I muttered, I glared upwards towards his icy blue eyes, then towards Lady Ophelia's life like amethyst eyes. I could see, their smug expressions hidden away from a mask.
He contorted his lips into an faked, toothy smile, but his cheeks were not so compromising. He could feel their reluctance to be moulded falsely. When I finally averted my gazed his smile fell lifeless, allowing his face to return to its usual cold hard gawk.
"You finally took into consideration of my taste."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U8gosN1gE
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGCPRLTY1B
"Of course, I had, It would be a waste to not wear such a beautiful gown given by your highness."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0xtqwj3W4
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5y8NZnyb
I bluntly said to him, before his same old faked toothy smile, gleamed from around his face, he pulled out a box from the pockets of his tunic, hiding inside of it, an emerald-like jewel, sacredly resting onto a soft covered cushion.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YBNTpqJjC
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcrIhDkuaY
"How considerate of you."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYHt8VPHi1
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVad5DbNmK
"It was a gift of Lady Ophelia's, she considered giving it to you with the handle of tenancy."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSThS40B10
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZkpxjmgTl
He stated, continuing to flash his unruly smile.
I peeked from over his shoulder to figure Lady Ophelia, with the same gleaming facial expression she had whilst entering the room, She proceeded perched at the door, her intentions to discover me take the necklace.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrziSAP2h40
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DWA407ml
"I see, I'll take it."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bVGYL6jd5
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQpLjFNKu
I mentioned before, he presses the box against the counter leaving it to rest there.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYviCpP65AZ
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIs5cb7o12
"Fair enough, I'll see you during breakfast, Hera."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWNlV54GaN
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocBXnJGQ0M
As i approach the small cushioned box, I focus onto the Emperor before he had left with Lady Ophelia, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezediYbVKr
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjR0n0GUb
Had I listened to it correctly? Why had he suddenly uttered my name? He had never done that before, yet to address me as Hera, we hadn't addressed each other of our first names since we were young ins.

The moment I slide into my chair I'm served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham, piles of fried potatoes. A tureen of fruit sits in ice to keep it chilled. The basket of rolls they set before me would keep me filled. Then, There's an elegant glass of orange juice.
"You're wearing the necklace."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nZ2u7v1E
"I am, since it would be quite of a waste to not use it as a gift from Lady Ophelia, and the Emperor to the Empress."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHerAijbisb
"I see."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubIVFhksAq
I gingerly cut a fried potatoes and placed the oily chunk in my mouth, with each nibble I took, His eyes traced around my hands.
Yet, from the back of my mind, I couldn't erase the worried expression, The weariness I received every time I think of that wolf, and from the bearing manner from the Emperor, gave a sudden mein of curiosity.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDUDXq3F00
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlqW8CtTXu
"Empress, are you alright? Lately you had spaced out from every call I have given to you."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhKWJ6Dn4
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4eRRUEnD
He gently stabs his fork within the scrambled eggs that were left onto his platter, Then he munched it up with his mouth opening every time he chewed, treating me to a view of the partially masticated eggs. Then he gulped it down and without pausing to breathe he took another swinging bite at the scrambled eggs.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmIUTuHs9
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNl3mszPg
I snapped out of it, and focus into reality.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgwVwzIywk
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7B1mWkfq
"Ah, Yes."
I stated, before hovering a napkin to my lips, wiping it down.
Each bite I had gulped down within my throat, reminds me of the gashed wound from the wolf, and from those thoughts, I proceeded reflecting within the back of my mind if that wild dog still living, or if they had detected the wolf within the brush I hid him away from.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl23ndAZPlw
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAifzo4Gzr
I impel the platter back a bit, as it gently scrapes across the table.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoE03kf0ox
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4k98QuGFN
"Why are you not eating, the rest of the breakfast, prepared for you from the butler and maidens?" 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGz7HeR98Q
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTveJTeRTx
The Emperor leered up at me from his plate, wholly abolished of almost endearingly terminated food. I peered up at him, where my eyes encountered his, in his eyes I could catch he was concerned, for my well-being.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlCccRMKV
A lump caught within my throat, where I couldn't inhale the sweet sensational aroma of the food, without the aroma of blood stained within my senses. The lies over my lips, molded a fake smile, hoping that his mien of oddity was convincing him, I emerge as perfectly fine. I smiled, something within him felt wrong, a little crook over my mouth, driving from deep inside your soul, as a secret never to be spouted.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jirmyDOiP
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxdOLPz4A3
"I began feeling bloated, I'll be excusing myself."
Within the half-light of the morning, striding away from the dinette, to where I looked like a shadow, hunched over, turning into a small dot then disappearing within the Emperor's sight, but this time It was my excuse to vamoose, and where the Emperor planted himself onto his cushioned chair, he viewed me depart from him, without uttering a word.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4vqDYIZF
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFWNjEZya
"Would you like more, your majesty?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9OdMTFhep
questioned one of the butlers, the Emperor held his hand up, ceasing the butler from adding anymore to his platter, he shook his head before erecting himself from his cushioned seat, where he stood upend like a somewhat fool.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLH2SorGix
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLszM6WRl8G
"I'll be excusing myself also, I had finished the lasting breakfast from the platter the chef had given me."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMUzkOMHgZ
**661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYtfDVUyIc
I had yet to make it to the end of the hallways, where I had met the endearingly Endeavor and Beau, situating themselves side by side forging a pathway, their smiles stretched from ear to ear.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwiVrNCHgQ
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH2wGrUkst
"Welcome back your highness."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliu7qPIjQ5
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQGAUBtqO7
Endeavor uttered, as her and Beau's faithful bow had straightened their back, perching into a 90 degree angle, I returned the subtle bow before plopping onto one of the cushioned sofa, that nestled against the embroiled doubled doors near the roman bath.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvBUaDvGFx
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ696VAX9kTu
"How was the evening breakfast with the Emperor?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUpzMoTRpc
"Quiet, it was better than I had presumed."
I press my hands against the scalp of my hair, massaging it, as a figure approached me, with a sack of small little desserts that sweetened the aroma around my senses, the sweetened smell coated the stinging wound's aroma.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONsQerDhif
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliI6LDdCkw
"One of the Maidens had said they made overly enough for them, and they knew how much you like swell done cookies."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPXNdHJr1k
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImEofWkUK7
She clasps the petite sack of cookies into my hand, as I untie the bow on top of the sack, out came bursting the most freshest scent that filled the whole bedroom, I picked one out, and bit into it, gulping it down as I felt the warmth of chocolate nestle onto the tip of my tongue. 661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHv65byug
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzEHbQFg20
"These are ravishly delicious."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmftxQXgxR
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjqr5Bm0g0
I declared, and then a simple idea had traveled within my mind, Whilst gawking an eye out the window, hoping within the brush the wolf had still been there resting, I should feed it with these freshened baked cookies, I stuff the sack of cookies within my gown.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxQSuW9ZP
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGqNtoQNuF
"I'll save these delicious cookies for later, Say, Beau, had the rain ceased?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3ZKqW4xt
She heeded, viewing outside the window, compressing both of her hands together gently, then facing towards me, where she inadvertently shrugged with a smile etching within her lips, and from my perspective, I could envision it genuine.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMftNKWNMm
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHKfoMsQiE
"Your majesty, I don't believe it will be raining any time soon, the day appears preferably prepossessing, why had you inquired?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHwMXHeMk5
661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT43ueZIF5f

661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxEGDkjIL
"I was wondering."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZYhHzjmPy
