Re: [ORP] I Do: A Royal Fenian Wedding
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2018 6:28 pm
At the suspiciously large camp on the banks of the Fenian lake near the border between old Kiene and Fenia. Suspicious when you think of it only housed two permanent residents with it's size. Argenth had been locking himself away in his studies again, as he worked on preperations for a very long expedition in this new world. Having finally gained acces to magic again, although it was in a different manner he had had to go about unlocking this new found source of energies. Combined with nearly a year of locking himself away in seclusion and solitude studying this world and it's history and lore, in his tent filled with knowledge and artifacts he had been collecting from the many worlds and realms he and his self-proclaimed guardian had wandered. The few times he had left this state of being, was when the elven female, Faranni who had stirred something within him visited, or when his self-proclaimed guardian Merek had practically dragged him out into the light of the sun, though the guardian had rather prefered to let him stay in his studies, atleast that way he knew where he had him and he couldn't accidently do any damage or harm to anyone there, but he knew how the body needed the life giving light of the sun, through Merek had often been pulling out hair when Argenth had managed to quickly escape the guardian, and hide in taverns to continue his studies, were he would also happen to meet the various creatures of this world. One of those encounter had somehow lead to what had happened next.
A letter had arrived to the camp, and was recieved by Merek. The letter was from one of their contacts found around the closer Vice Royalties,
this one contact specificly the capital, frequently sending news. Unfolding the letter he read it, and was quickly stroked with thought of the worst possible outcomes. Not able to hold his anxiety back, trying to hold himself in check as thoughts of what potential damage and harm the creature he had a long ago sworn to keep out of harm's way, an already nearly impossible feat to accomplish could get himself into with this. There was to be a public royal wedding. He knew this couldn't end well, yet his honor kept him from keeping secrets to the man he was oath sworn to serve.
After a longer time of deep sighs and failed attempts at trying to find a valid reason that could justify not to go and deliver the news, he now found himself outside Argenth's private tent and it's two current inhabitants, holding refreshments on a tray in his hands... and the letter. "Argenth, I'm entering." Waiting a few short moment before pushing his way inside past the entrance, having learned from a past mistake of entering without warning resulting in an awkward situation for a longer time. Inside Argenth and Faranni sat side by side at the study, working on old text and looking at maps. The sight warmed the knight, even if it had only been a few small changes to the half-dragon over the cause of the year since they had arrived here, she was good for him he thought, as he had for a very long time been the only other being in contact him. Many had viewed the half-dragon as a monster and a terror. "Master Argenth, Lady Faranni." He excused himself leaving the refreshments on a smaller table near them. Reluctantly he turned around to face them again. "A letter was delivered, telling of a royal wedding in public in Fenia."
The news got the half-dragon curious, as he had only attended one wedding till this day. "Hmm, this should prove a good chance for gathering some observations for comparison." To the guardian's fear, the half-dragon had thoughfully contenplated.
Prior to the day of the wedding, the pair had agreed to accompany each other for the event, Faranni seeming as bright and excited as often before when he had asked if she would come with him for other events, quickly accepting the invitation.
Arriving at the cathedral, finding it observed by a crowd of different creatures. Not before long Faranni and Argenth dressed in his red schoolar's robes and carrying his cane under his arm, accompanied each other up the stairs, with Merek following close behind, keeping his ever watchfull eyes on the half-dragon. Entering, Argenth nearly started to push his way past the row of attendants waiting to greet the small group of organizers who stood and greeted those that came to witness the event, his enchanted quill dancing elegantly over a stack of parchment floating close to him, writing the thoughts and observation from Argenth's mind. A firm hand quickly placed itself on Argenth shoulder, as Merek pulled him back, fighting to keep control over his temper. "This is a royal wedding, politeness and attention, and greeting the organizers is expected, no jumping ahead of the lines waiting to enter." Only to be replied with a strange oblivious stare by the half-dragon.
Awaiting their turn, they moved to greet the organizer. "Greetings, I'm Argenth, an Explorer Extraordinaire, and this is Faranni the Elf..." He presented them, having been tiredlessly forced to practice those lines by his guardian prior to the event. "We are, acquaintances of one of the brides, and wish to witness this great event."
