Everlast

*ok, guys...I'm on vacation until Sunday so yeah. I've missed so much!!! gah....*

Suddenly, I was being carried upwards. My captor's hands were under my knees and on my back. Then, I was thrown into carriage. Or atleast I think it was a carriage. I could hear the sound of a horse's trot and the smell of air racing behind me. We were going fast. There were two people with me. One man and a woman. I could hear them talking. After a few minutes, the carriage stopped. I was carried again and thrown on the ground. The sack I was in was torn off of me and my blindfold was taken off. Before me I saw Princess Isadora as a tear rolled down my cheek.
*this is written on my cell so I apologize for the poor quality.*

Princess Isadora - Healer - Castle grounds

Sendai and Tavias stood behind the girl as Isadora tore of her blindfold. She peered up at the Princess with bright blue watering eyes. She'd been thrown around, Isadora could feel it, in the morning she would have bruises, Isadora knew that too, it was natural for her to know this stuff. She would need to heal her in the morning, for now there was nothing she could do.

"What's going on here?" Isadora repeated for the fifth time, nobody was answering, the only thing they responded too was when she demanded they stop and take her out. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Her skin was boiling, she was nervous and scared with the night still hovering over her shoulder's, Isadora just wanted to be inside, but she couldn't leave this girl alone.

Mirrior walked out from behind the carriage as Isadora knelt down beside the girl and took her cape off to place it around the girl's shivering frame.

"Are you okay?" Isadora whispered into her ear.

Why would anybody treat a girl like this? sShe thought

**You can go on YWS on your cell phone? Also, I thought all three Sendai, Mirrior and Tavias were suppose to go get her, so I added them in.**

It was one of her most important orders, given by the Queen herself, The Princess is not to become exposed to the harsh realities of running the Kingdom. Sendai was deeply ingrained with the training to fulfil this order, but she had little idea as to how this was possible. Isadora asked her question for the fifth time and Sendai realised it would be too dangerous not to act.

She knew Tavias was technically in charge, but now was the time to take the initiative, "Princess, this girl is a dangerous rebel. Rest assured he injuries would only have been inflicted by the guards in self defence." It was a barely credible excuse, the beating the girl had received was clearly out of proportion to anything she could inflict.

Sendai bent down and picked up Isadora's robe from the prisoner, handing it back to the Princess. "Your highness should be more careful being out so late in the evening. Would you like Mirrior, Tavias or one of the guards to escort you to your chambers?"

There was a silent threat. Isadora had a subtle independant streak, and would not like being escorted around like a child. Regardless of whether that was how Sendai viewed her.

*Okay, boltageman, could you have Zack react next time? Sorry, but it seems you forgot about him. Hope that didn't sound too mean. anyway, hope this post is okay with everyone...*

Tallia-Pixie-Everlast Castle


I had gotten back from the castle a few hours. My wings hurt. I wish I had taken. Wish I had taken a my regular bird, but she was delivering an important message. "Tallia," I heard a voice call. I whized around and saw a uniformed guard.
"Yes,sir." I put my arms behind my back and zoomed up so he could see me easier.
"The Queen said that she wishes to speak to you again."
"About?" I asked, though I was sure-or hoping at least-that it was what I had been what I was thinking that it was.
"I was not informed of this." I nodded, he nodded, and we both went our different ways. I went quickly to the throne room, as fast as my wings could possibly carry me. I was out of breathe by the time I got there.

I bowed down to my Queen. "I've been informed that you know of the arrival of the rebel."
"Yes, your highness."
"And you have a plan you wanted me to consider?"
"If you would, your majesty."
"Proceed." She sat in her chair, looking slightly interestend, and a little bored. I didn't blame her, if I heard from people, peasants, like me every day, I'd be bored too.
"I think I should free the rebel."
"What?" Her facial expression had changed from bored and almost uncaring to on guard and skeptic in less than a second.
"No, your Greatness, I-I didn't mean it like that. I swear, I would never betray you in such a way. Yes, I was hoping to free the rebel. However, I want to free her and then trick her into being her friend and be a spy. Surely she'll lead me to other rebellions." She gave examined me, the look on my face, thinking over the tone of my voice. I was sure she was trying to figure out whether I was telling the truth or not. I didn't care, I had nothing to hide.
"I'll allow you to go through with this plan."
"Thank you your majesty! Thank you so much for letting me help you."
"But," She spoke with a cold, warning voice, "If I find even the slightest hint that you are planning to betray me, you will be treated as if you were one of them." I nodded and thanked her again. Then I hurried back to my room, it seemed as if the guy I had met earlier would have to wait. I had a bigger target.

Princess Isadora - Castle grounds

“Self defence? What could she possibly do to any guard? She looks as fragile as a flower!” Isadora was upset, mostly because Sendai was treating her like a child, as everybody else did. She wasn’t a complete idiot and she knew the outcome of this girl’s injuries could not have been caused in a guards self defence. Moreover, she was upset because she didn’t need, or want a babysitter.

“Princess Isadora, please-” Sendai stepped forward, her tan face glowing in the moonlight, only to be cut off by Isadora.

“I didn’t give the girl my robe because I thought she was some miss treated hero, Sendai,” Isadora was as firm as her silk voice could be, “I gave it to her because she’s a cold girl, whose teeth are chattering!” Isadora placed the robe back around the girl.

In the back of Isadora’s mind she wondered if this girl knew the Villager who killed her father, he was a rebel once too, that is before Mirrior killed him. She let the dark thought flow out with the night as she came back to the presence of this poor girl.
Isadora swept her hand over the girl’s forehead while she moved her bare feet in the dirt. Taking in every essence of the earth and using it to heal the girl. That should help, she thought as she numbed the girl from feeling any pain but leaving the girl’s mind sharp. That should protect her from any punishment that might come, she thought smugly. I’ll still have to see to those bruises tomorrow, Isadora was going through a medical checklist making she would be on top of things the next day.

Isadora knew the next thing she had to do was let somebody escort her, if she didn’t her mother would be cross until the next full moon.

Mirrior - Night Mare - Castle Grounds

With an agitated (though I must admit, slightly relieved) sigh, I stepped forward and faced the Princess, a silent warning flashing in my eyes.

"I will take the Princess back to her chambers. Throw the prisoner in the dungeons and give her water. The Queen will deal with her in the morning."

Without waiting for a response, I moved around the Princess and began walking towards the doors leading back into the castle, hearing Isadora follow. Soon the footsteps of Sendai and Taivas faded as they moved the girl towards the dungeon.

"Mirrior?" Isadora called quietly as we approached the door. I stopped and turned back to her.

"What, Princess?"

She seemed worried about something, that much was obvious. "Will you tell my mother you found me out here?"

"If you do not wish me to and the Queen does not ask directly, I will not."

She sighed, relieved, and followed me as we entered the castle. Few torches burned in the hallways now, casting long, flickering shadows along the walls and floor.

"And Mirrior?"

I stopped again but did not turn.

"What will happen to that girl? What does my mother want with her? Will she be freed?"

"That, Princess, I don't know."


Joran - Leo - Rebel Village

I listened to Ryan's story in silence, trying to imagine in my mind what he had lived through. When he was done, he looked down towards the flickering fire, wringing his hands.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all that," I offered, my tone sincere. Anney didn't seem inclined to say anything, so I nudged her with my foot.

"Oh, yes, me too," she said, casting an irritated glance in my direction.

An awkward silence stretched on for a few minutes until I finally broke it, unable to stand the stifling atmosphere any longer.

"You must be tired, Ryan. You can have my bed, and I'll take the floor."

He looked up and shook his head. "No, I wouldn't want to take your bed from you."

I waved him off. "It's fine. I'm perfectly used to sleeping on the ground. I'm going to take Anney back to her hut, so I'll be back in a minute."

He nodded and I motioned for Anney to follow me outside.

Oh sorry midnight. I sort of forgot I was in here for a bit, and so I skimmed a few of the posts trying to catch up. I didn't see the part with Zack in yours.

Zack~~

"Zack I need you to deliver, those crates to the northern sector, in to the C sector, middle hut, there will be a red star above it, but hurry," My father told me.

"Got it," I told him and ran off for the home.

My dad always had me run errands, ever sense my brother died, in a raid, it was twice as much for me. But I knew he only did it because we had to, my dad was an excellent smith, and a very good in general crafts and theft. He was the one many people needed to live. So I knew I couldn't complain, even if weapons were heavy, and some of the food smelt rank.

Hello," I heard, and turned to see a pixie upon my shoulder. "How are you? My name's Tallia."

"I'm Zack," I said, then remembered the order, "But I can't chat, got to go."

And with that I took off, and see fell behind me. Soon I arrived at the north side, and delivered my package, then ran back, and was given a package of a sword, a shield, a small dagger, and some food for Joran's hut. Which was strange because he rarely asked for anything, and was only ever gifted things from others. When I finally arrived I found him talking to Anney, right outside his hut.

"Oh, hello Zack, why are you here?" He asked, then spotted the package, "oh yeah, I asked someone to send that for me. Just put it next to the bed, there's a guy in there who needs it."

"Gotcha," I said and placed it next to the bed, "So who is that anyway?"

Princess Isadora - Castle Tower/Her room

“Mirrior,” Isadora paused.

“Yes Princess?” Mirrior turned his body to face the wall but still did not fully face her.

“Would you like to come for a walk with me tomorrow? In the gardens? It’s not an order or anything; I could just use the company. I’ll be there at noon, if you wish to join.” Isadora left it open for Mirrior to choose. She knew he hated to be controlled and she didn’t want to force him but recently less and less people from the village wanted to spend time with her, leaving her isolated and lonely. And the richer part of society wasn't her idea of company.

Interrupting them was Isadora’s maid. “Princess, don’t you wish to come in? I have prepared your bed.”

“In a minute,” Isadora addressed the lady. “Goodnight Mirrior,” she turned and went to her bed, climbing in to the warmth of her blankets.” I hope that girl is warm, I hope she is warm... Isadora’s last thoughts were repeated before she drifted off into a night of nightmares.
