Re: A Kiss InThe Rain

I shake my head "No, I don't need a horse" I say and glance behind me at the water. It was a beaver dam, made deep because of the beaver's activities. I look back at Raven and swallow hard "Now... I think I should be going now.." I say, stepping to the side slightly. He seemed nice at the moment, but he still frightened me.

[Guest]

Raven frowned, "Oh," he said. When she began to turn and leave, he moved slightly to block her path. He hadn't meant to, and he almost blushed and said, "Oop, sorry. I... I was wondering if you just wanted to talk or something?" To appeal to her, he added, "Scyren isn't much company." Raven gave her a rather quirky smile, hoping she'd accept.
He didn't know what had suddenly gotten into him. Ever since he had first seen her, it was practically magical. He stared at her for a moment.

I frown when he walks in front of me. He seemed nervous. I chuckle awkwardly and give him a small smile. "Yea" My eyes reach down to my toes and I wriggle them in the dirt slightly. "Sooo.........." My word trailed to a stop and I look back up at him. An apologetic look lifting on my delicate face. "I'm not sure I think you're much better..." I say. Not exactly trying to hurt him, but only to tell the truth.

[Guest]

[ o3o what's gonna happen? ]

Raven blushed furiously, "Oh, yeah," he said, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Well... sorry about earlier. I don't know what got into me. I guess it's just not every day one sees an amazingly beautiful woman. And ... I'm jealous, really, of Scyren. Why'd you kiss him, anyways?" Raven looked over at her, wondering if she'd actually answer his question.

[Saviour]

Raiiel

It was then my turn to blush, and I backed up. Tucking my auburn hair behind my ear. "Uhh yea, long story" I say and turn around to look back at my camp. Then turn back. "Look, I'm sorry, I don't understand... I just want to go back to my old way of living.." I say. Chewing my lip slightly.

[ Sorry So Short ]

[Guest]

Raven looked at her, confused, and prodded gently, "Wait, what do you mean? I've gone back to my old way of living... seriously...." Raven cocked an eyebrow at her and rested against a tree. What did she mean? He meant that he'd come back to serve under the queen. But that was obviously not what she meant.... it was confusing, and he hoped she would just tell her instead of making his brain work it out by himself.

[ FAIL. FLUFF. gahh D: ]

"You know, without all this royalty crap. It never used to be like this" I sigh and sit down "This... Sycren... Has he always been manipulative?" I ask him, looking up from my seat on the ground.

[ Erg I know right? ]

[Guest]

[ lol ]

Scyren grimaced and looked at her, "Scyren isn't manipulative. He's a bastard sometimes, yes. Manipulative? Only slightly. Usually he isn't. He's quite nice, actually. But he's been rude and deceitful towards all women except his mother since his wife and baby girl died two years ago. He was so in love, that fool. I told him over and over again it was only going to end in tradgedy. His brother was deathly jealous, and ended up kidnaping and raping his wife, making her bear him a son before he killed her and Scyren's baby girl. Nobody knows where Scyren's brother's son is now." Scyren sighed. "I told him..." Scyren muttered softly.

[Saviour]

Raiiel

I wince at his story and shake my head softly. "That's terrible" I say and stand up. Crossing my arms over my chest as I watch him. "And your story?" I ask softly. Now curious. Even if he still made me slightly nervous, I could probably outsmart him and outrun him here if he tried anything stupid..

[Guest]

Raven obviously hadn't been expecting that question, and when it was posed to him, he frowned slightly. "Honestly... I have no story. I just live and let live. You know? Doesn't matter where I've been, where I'm gonna go. It's all just a part of life. Past, present, and future." Raven shrugged then, and shoved his hands in his pockets. He began to walk away. "And you never know what the future might bring." he said over his shoulder before disappearing into the forest.


[ are you bored of molly/jake topic? just wondering so I can know when to stop checking it XD ]

[Saviour]

[ I dunno are you? ]

Raiiel

I dip my brows slightly in confusion when he turns away and tells me about the future. What did he mean by that? I shiver and pull my arms close to my chest. Quickly adding a log to the fire and sitting cross-legged before it. The destructive flames licking the rocks as if trying to escape the pit and catch the entire forest. I sigh softly and look up as the white smoke escaped the treetops.

[Guest]

Meanwhile, Scyren was inside the castle, sitting by his mother's bed, holding her hand gently. For some odd reason, the crystal's effects were wearing off, and she was once again bedridden and pale as snow. Scyren was cursing the she-elf for whatever she'd done to the crystal that had made it stop working on his precious mother. His brother wasn't ready to take over the thrown!
Scyren withdrew himself from his mother and raced downstairs to the stableyard, where Kyrptonite was already tacked up, waiting for him. He swung up onto the saddle and galloped off. That she-elf would save his mother, and he would make her make it work this time, if it was the last thing he did.

[ not really, but if you are... ]

[Saviour]

[ Well I don't know, I just don't know where it's going exactly ]

Raiiel

The sound of horse hooves made me cringe. Why couldn't they just leave me alone? I grumble and stand up. Brushing off my dress and standing up to face whomever was riding towards me. It was Scyren. For some reason, I always felt lighter when he was around. It was a confusing feeling, and often times made me angry. "What do you want now?" I ask, the light of day already darkening slightly.

[Guest]

Scyren did a riding dismount and swung over to the she-elf. He completely ignored the tone of her vioce--he was desperate. His mother was dying. His mother was dying. Scyren jogged over to her and gripped her shoulders firmly, "You have to come back---you have to heal her! Whatever you did," Scyren snarled, "She's dying, and my brother is not the king you want." Scyren looked at her pleadingly, and his voice softened, "You have to help her."

[ well i guess we can drop it, then... ]

[Saviour]

[ If you want ]

Raiiel

I was surprised at the desperation in his voice and looked down at his hands on my shoulders. His grip was tight but not enough to hurt. "I didn't do anything" I say and look back at him. "Why should I help her? Because it hurts you to see her die? The king of your castle does not affect me..."

[ Sorry so short ]

[Guest]

Scyren stared at her a moment before dropping his hands from her shoulders and stiffening up. "It will affect you if my brother is king. You have no idea what kind of a man he is." Scyren's form went rigid, his face emotionless. "If you want to let my mother die, so be it. But if that's what you choose, kill me now. Spare me my own misory of having to see my brother rise to power. Just strike me dead right here, right now."

[Saviour]

Raiiel

I swallow hard and search for emotion in his eyes. I came up empty handed. I sigh and shake my head, shifting my weight to the other foot and looking at my feet. "You are leaving this decision on me?" I chuckle slightly. "I don't know, am I the only one who can save her?" I ask him, looking back to him and chewing my lip slightly.

[Guest]

Scyren stared at her, almost looking as if he was staring straight through her, completely unaware of her presence. "You own the crystal. You harvest its powers. I don't know what happened. It's that crystal that can heal her." Scyren sighed and slumped her shoulders slightly. "You don't know what'll happen to this place....this forest...this world, if my brother comes to power... What'll happen to you. He thinks he can have any wo---" Scyren faltered, then shook his head and dropped his gaze, "I just need your help."

[Saviour]

Raiiel

"And will you either leave me alone or stop being so ignorant towards me?" I ask him, thinking I'd probably agree to his favor whether or not he'd leave me alone. He said the forest would be in danger, and that was the one thing I had to prevent. This forest was my life, my entire ancestry as well. This was where my race originated. I couldn't let it be sent to ruins.

[Guest]

Scyren's head shot up, and he stared at her for a moment, unsureo f what he was hearing from her. "You would---?" Scyren was too happy to keep his emotions in and he brought her into a large hug. "Whatever you want, just heal her!" Scyren picked her up bridal-style and put her back on his horse, setting her behind him. "Hold on, Kryptonite moves pretty fast." He pat the horse's shoulder, "And we have to get there as soon as we can."

[Saviour]

Raiiel

I tense when he hugs me, and give him a strange look as he lifts me up onto Kryptonite. Clearing my throat and sitting back in the saddle so he could get on. I was tempted to make a snarky remark about knowing how fast Kryptonite moved, but held it back. Grabbing the back of the saddle and look ahead at the castle.

[Guest]

Scyren kicked his heels into the stud, who bolted forward, back towards the castle, his mane flowing out into Scyren's face.
It only took a few minutes to reach the castle, and Scyren did another riding dismount, swinging himself off the horse and Kryptonite slowed down feeling the lack of weight on his back. He brayed loudly and Scyren helped the she-elf off of his stud before having some servents take Kryptonite upstairs into his quarters. Scyren took her hand and dragged her along behind him much like a lovestruck toddler. "Come on, hurry!"

[Saviour]

Raiiel

While dismounting, Scyren helped me off. But instead of letting go, proceeded to drag me up the stairs. I roll my eyes and pull my hand out of his. Jogging up the stairs two at a time and opening the door when I reached it first. Walking into the room and sending a glare to the doctor who grabbed the hilt of his sword. I turn to the queen and take in her frail state. What sort of sickness could be so powerful as to require the magik of my entire crystal? I kneel beside her bed and brush a strand of hair from her ice-cold pale face. Clutching the silver chain of my necklace in the other hand.

[Guest]

Scyren turned and stared at her momentarily before shrugging and running up the stairs at the same time. Scyren composed himself when he reached the door and gently pushed it open, snarling and shaking his head at the doctor who immediately went onto the defensive side. "She's here to help," he muttered before joining her by his mother's side, sitting on the bed and staring at his mother's ice-blue eyes that had dimmed significantly. "I don't know what you're supposed to do.... magic or something..." Scyren frowned. "But please.... just try."

[Saviour]

Raiiel

I nearly laughed at his words. "I'm not a witch" I say and sit up taller to lift the necklace over my head. I place it in her hands and close my eyes. Murmuring words inaudible and of a different language. The crystal glowed dimly, and I slipped the chain off it. I take a daggar from Scyren's belt, the one without poison, and ran the edge over the Queen's palm. Causing a dark crimson ribbon to rise. Next, I did the same to my hand and wince slightly at the pain. Mine had to be much deeper of course, and in this case would really need to be deeper. She was really ill. I place my hand over hers and clasp them together tightly. Holding my other hand over ours. The crystal's glow brightened, and the Queen regained some of her color. The pain was hardly bearable. I hadn't done this in so long, I hadn't needed to. I was out of practice, and now I was fighting back tears to avoid looking like a baby. As the Queen grew healthier, I grew weaker. My face turning paler than it's normal color. I would be fine, but it didn't mean it didn't effect me.
