˳ͼWe Often Meet Our Fate On The Road We Travle To Avid Itͽ˳
...
-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: -The Council had been Called… Elders across all of Arvandor were summoned, gathered there in the main halls to sit in whispers… Quiet words shared between one another, softly spoken oaths, revulsion at the sin that lay between them on a sheet that seemed to burn… Ace Khoeler had once been a youth full of so much potential, a bright star in the skies of Arvandor, only to fall to the pits of what could only be described as a human folly… Ace had spent too much time among the humans, picked up deplorable habits, the list o the table there more than enough proof of that to them… Murder… Rape… Blackmail… There were more there, things like Poisoning, cover ups for others… Caela Anikin had given up many things, but at the same time they had reason to doubt her validity, both as a victim to Ace’s own deeds as well as being guilty of sins herself… There was however, no hiding those main three charges, there was evidence of all three that he could no longer keep hidden… The council was held of a full group of elders, not the one or two that they had for smaller charges, little infractions… This was the complete twelve, from Moon Elf to High Elf, Down to Witch Elf and even a Drow… All classes were held there within those walls, each one well advanced in their years, their wisdom held in each wrinkle and silver hair. The call had gone out yesterday at noon, summoning the following individuals, along with the words below.*
”Summoning To the Court Of Elders:
Ace Koehler- The Accused
Vanima Mistrider- Witness
Diovan Fironiil-Witness
Sybelle Anikin- Witness
Rosamund MacDonald- Witness
Jacob Anikin- Witness
”The Following: Ace Koehler
”Is to stand trial for his crimes committed in Arvandor during his years in Residence. Those Crimes are As follows, but not limited to, or excluding:
Murder
Rape
Blackmail
Assault
”We find these crimes to be heinous in nature, and will be conducting a Trial where Mr. Koehler’s crimes will be tallied and evidence collected, at which point Mr. Koehler will then face his sentencing. During this Trial, those who wish to speak in his favor may do so, as well as stand as witness to his character.”-
-The day of the Trial dawned an unusually dark and stormy for this time of year, the winds whipped and whistled around the crystal palace, rain buffeting against the walls and casting eerie shadows on dim walls… The usually brightly lit halls were somber and grey, no candles flickered and sparkled in the dark, no lambs chased away the dark corners… Was Hanali displeased? Could that be the reason why her palace was as chilling as a cave where usually light and love made the walls glow? It wasn’t unknown to those very same elders that Ace once had been a much favored Paramour of Hanali, that for years he had been her representative in Arvandor, relaying her messages to her followers… The fact he was so very vital to manipulating the weather was not lost on them either… The Trial was to be held in the Elders Hall of the Temple, the room was somber with thick grey walls, adorned with tapestries of great events of Arvandor’s History. The sound of the heavy rain, the deep throbbing boom of thunder as it hit could easily be heard, making the room seem that much darker for it… There, in a crescent moon shape stood twelve high backed chairs upon a dais, the highest being for the lead elder, and each one slightly lower falling by age down to the youngest elders being on the lowest chairs. The all wore the same silver robes with the crescent moon of Corellon, a sign that the supreme God of the Pantheon was held present here, that all judgements would be just and fair… There they would sit until those who had been summoned would arrive, waiting for each and every one to file into the room and take their seat on the semi-circular benches, a large chair in the center with no back would be waiting for Ace himself to sit upon. Once there, the highest Elder would speak, his words soft and nearly paper thin as Age had robbed him of his vigor but not his brains.*
”Ace Koehler, your are summoned here before your Elders to stand trial for your Crimes, those being primarily Blackmail… Rape… and Murder……. There are other claims of Drugging…. Assault…. Bribery…. And Theft as well… Those we will not address at this meeting… As the claims are unable to be proved due to a lack of witness and evidence… What… Do you have to say for yourself, Ace Koehler?”
-There would be a pause for Ace to speak his mind in his defense, a sort of one man defense party as it were, with only those summoned who could stand in his favor. Once Ace was done speaking, if he spoke at all, the others would be called to speak for him… To offer words in his favor, to try and speak for his character, to defend the actions he had made.*

: *Being summoned to council was something that few elves ever had, and those that did it was typically a once in a lifetime thing, and it rarely ever was for something less than a terribly somber event. He had been summoned to council several times in his life, once for the crimes he had committed, the rest for penance… To be summoned though, one right after the other like this, that was not common at all… Apparently it was a sort of century wide spring cleaning of some sort… Perhaps Tabith had drawn more attention to some area that were in need of attention… He looked at Ace’s list and sure, it wasn’t long, but it wasn’t exactly a good thing to be so short… The crimes that were listed were some heavy hitting things indeed… Sybelle had gotten her letter as well, the two of them had curled up close in bed together that night, Aylan between them as the storm raged on outside their house. The next morning found it just as wet and stormy as it had been the night before, Sybelle and Aylan both still sleeping in bed while he slipped out quietly, going to grab a quick wash before donning his suit… He hated suites… Just hated them… But there were times where it was just needed, like today and the trial, he knew he had to look nice… Though at least this was one of his less hated suits, it was comfortable and made on a nice light wool that sat soft against the skin, just thick enough to be perfect for todays weather. It was just a regular grey suit with a vest and blazer, a simple white button up and no tie, all capped off with a set of nice black shoes… The suit was a lot like him, clean cut, simple without any real decoration or foppery… Just honest and straight forward, but still all perfect decent, quite respectable. He would start the tea and coffee going as he heard Sybelle and Aylan begin to wake up, asking her what she wanted to cook for breakfast, pulling out what she said and setting it out for her. He would take Aylan for her as she cooked, giving him a soft wash down with a warm wet cloth, drying and rubbing lotions into his skin before dressing him in his soft green colored shirt and tan shorts with soft black shoes and white socks. When breakfast was finished being cooked, they would share the meal, Aylan being fed as they ate and waited for the carriage. It was far to wet to walk, too cold to ride, so a nice little carriage would suit them fine. They would then wait as Sybelle got ready, he would do the dishes and set them to dry, making sure everything was clean for when they got back. When the right amount of time had gone by, they were in the carriage and on their way, unsure as to what was going to happen… He would head in first, Sybelle and Aylan close on his heels, making their way down to the elders hall. Once there, he would guide her to a seat, he himself coming to speak to the elders. He saw something that surprised him, a certain woman sitting there in the back, half hidden by a sheer curtain but the long platinum locks were impossible to miss. He would slide around behind the elders, dropping to his knees before the woman, arms out as the two embraced. Soft words spoken, his deeper tones followed by slightly higher ones, all too soft to really be audible. They would stay like that for several minutes before he would stand, leaning down to kiss the persons cheek, another quick embrace before he would come to join Sybelle. He would lean in and whisper very softly to her, pitched for her ears alone, his hand coming out to rest across hers.*”My mother is here…”*He said softly, giving her hand a soft, gentle squeeze.*”She said she wants to meet you after this is over… She wants to meet her daughter in law, she said, and that she has a couple of small things to ask you… If you can spare the time of course… She understand that being a mother is a bit of work, so she is willing to wait for a time that works for you, if that is something you prefer.”*With that they would wait until everyone else filed in, all those who had been called, Ace himself moving to the middle of the floor as the charges were listed… What would happen now? He could only guess… All he knew was that he would defend Ace, he had helped him when he needed it, and this was just doing the right thing… His arm about Sybelles shoulder, just holding her, wrapping her in his protection as they watched it all unfold.*

ᶲI Loved Her Not For The Way She Danced With My Angelsᶲ
°But For The Way The Sound Of Her Name Could Silence My Demons°
°°°
-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *Had he been summoned to the meeting? Hell no. As far as anyone knew here, he was just passing familiar with Ace, not knowing him from a bar of soap really… No he had gone because one of his little love sick bitches had come by and told him all about it. He and Sydel had done their work beautifully at that festival, they had fucked all the right people, set their hooks in all the right places… There wasn’t a single thing in this place they didn’t know about before anyone else, and oh, oh did they enjoy that power high. They were perfect hosts, ideal lovers, and Sydel as carrying this or that persons baby… Oh they never labeled a father, they just let those who fantasized about it think it was theirs, and hold it over those who were terrified of the consequences. He was just high on the fact she was carrying his child, and oh he had spent the time spoiling her rotten, giving her everything her little black heart desired. He knew she would have loved to have gone with him, to go and watch Ace be put on the cross so to speak, but he didn’t think she could keep a straight face for it all… Instead he left her at home with a rather lush young woman with tits to die for who was more than willing to please her white haired mistress, letting her have her fun and play with her food, after all no one cared if a human died here… He had kissed her goodbye, a firm slap to her ass, and out the door he went. Oh he looked all rather posh really, Sydel had cracked ass at him when he left, if only because she knew that this suit was the biggest set of sheep’s clothing he could wear. He was wearing a set of tan and soft olive colored tweed, the subtle tile lines in the fabric were just too classic, and the hat he was wearing just set it all off with a T. A crisp snow white shirt, a navy blue tie with white polkadots , and a set of warm brown oxfords and he was out the door. He looked like a well to do elf in the area, a bit out in the country, life moved a little slower as he had the most relaxed air about him. Going on the grounds was interesting, but he had a bit of a pass, his signature wouldn’t register a bleed compared to his mothers… Oh he knew she was here, he always knew when she was around, the whole place would suddenly just reek of carnations… He would slip in, giving a nod to the elders, a few winks at those who had come in to watch the trial unfold. He settled in with that high elders daughter, oh he remembered her well, nice lush little body with a tight pussy and a fat husband who didn’t know how to satisfy her. She seemed to find his youth intoxicating, thinking herself all sorts of lucky that she caught the attentions of such a fine looking elf, even more so that he could fuck her bloody and make her like it. It was with her hand on his thigh that he would watch the event unfold, hear the charges laid out, waiting for those who would speak in his favor… Oh he would make detailed notes on all of this for Sydel, let her know who was there and who wasn’t, every little thing that was said and every motion Ace made… After all, they couldn’t let him be killed, they wanted to go to war… Well, a fun one, at least… Gia’s head as a chamber pot was all too decadent to ignore…*

°For The Night Is Dark And Full Of Terrors°
: *When she got the summons it was a shocker to her… She hadn’t thought that she would have ever been called out on the things she had done, but a year without her fucking her little pets on the regular, well it wasn’t going to be without consequence now was it? Damn Sinaht that filthy fertile little fuck, planting a baby in her belly like he had some bloody right to her, he had ruined her utterly… Rowan was with a baby farmer, a woman who took in newborns and such while the mothers paid for their keep, keeping herself beautifully anonymous while still letting her see her son. Sinaht was recovering from their last play round, letting his body heal from all the whippings and spankings, the bite marks and cuts… He was breaking in beautifully, her young puppy lover, but he still had a ways to go before he was perfect… He still had that pesky, irritating pride, that ugly arrogance that made her want to back hand the smile from his face. Still, all of that wasn’t going to do her any good right now, was it? Her letter was a touch different than the others she was sure, after all she was to go on trial directly after Ace, if not right along with him… After all, that little bitch Caela had sung like the fat little piggy she was, useless whore… Drug them both down with her… She had put Ace up to getting Sybelle out of the way… She had pushed him along to it, Caela was just the dumb cunt desperate enough to pay the price, but that didn’t mean she herself hadn’t issued the order so to speak… Plus she had been in a blackmail ring or two with him, so naturally her name would have come up with the women, the men were a lot easier to mute… She usually dressed sexy… Flashy… As body proud if not more so than her aunt, she adored shocking the populace with her costumes, but right now that would work against her… Instead of the usual flash and bang, she was wearing a simple high waisted black skirt with tulle under it to give it a nice shape, completely hiding her figure beneath it. Her top was simple and white, little feminine decorations on it like little frills, petit black bows instead of buttons with loose flowing sleeves that gathered in over her wrists. Her usually arrow straight black hair was softly curled and pulled over her shoulder in a loose tie, giving her usually outrageously sharp sexy features a girlish softness to it… A feminine charm that made a person think there was no way she was capable of doing anything bad, certainly not the things she was sure she would be accused of, and if she had to? She would whip out the fact she was a mother of a young child, and that she couldn’t be exiled for the child’s health was fragile, and only the doctors in Arvandor could care for him… At the very least it would buy her a few years… She wouldn’t take a carriage like some of these damned ninnies, she had a perfectly fine umbrella, and she opted to walk versus anything else. When she arrived it would be to see Ace there in the middle, his perky little slut and her lover, Diovan with his little miss fucking sunshine and their squalling little bundle of shit… Nautilous was the only seemingly sane thing in this room, and Gods was that ever saying something… She took her place on one of the empty benches, catching the eye of one of the elders, seeing the lusty gaze there… Aah so she still had one in her pocket then… Good… After all, men really were like wood floors, lay them right the first time, and you can walk all over them for life. *

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *She was livid… Angry wasn’t even a drop in the bucket of just how perfectly ticked off she was. Jacob was struggling and she didn’t know how to help him, Ace was on trial for some very dark things, and she felt like everything was crumbling… She had set it up for Mina to come over and baby sit for her, Pia would be off at her classes with Garafin for a good portion of the day, leaving her with the triplets who were over all beautifully well behaved angels… They had gotten their letters yesterday afternoon, summoning them to court today, so last night… Well she was… VERY well used… First Jacob, then Ace, then the both of them only for her to finish off the night with Ace personally breaking her to his will… She had been covered in bruises and bite marks, red welts and wax burns, rope burn and rug burn… She had in essence taken very good care of them both, sending them both to bed with happy satisfied smiles, but she would barely get an hours worth of sleep in…. The children were hungry and she spent most of her night with them after her fiancé’s had gone to sleep, holding them close and singing to them, speaking to them just as she had with Pia as she rocked with them all… When they were done and fast asleep, she still held them for another hour before she would put them down in their bed, Pia curling up around them as she snuggled into her brothers and sisters. As for herself? … She had gone and bathed in the hot springs, using the waters there to heal herself, removing ever mark and blemish from her skin until she virtually glowed… Her hair was scrubbed and oiled to a perfect high gloss that it looked like liquid gold, falling in perfect curls down her back, her nails had been shaped and lacquered to be black as ink with gold tips… When the dawn came she had breakfast ready for them, waffles with multiple flavored syrups at the ready, eggs just the way they liked them, fresh fruit and juices all perfectly chilled… She herself had a cup of coffee but was gone by the time the boys made it down to eat, up in their shared bedroom where she was getting ready, putting on her armor so to speak… She pulled out a set of barely there underwear, more satin straps than anything else, leaving her virtually naked underneath what ever she would wear… A set of thigh gripping garters held up a pair of nude stockings with a sensual black lace topping that would only be seen with her clothes off. The dress was to put it simply… A mix of edgy and feminine touches, black leather lace with tulle backing, a thick hemline of delicate frills… It was all too open at the bottom, the leather lacing only getting thicker the higher it got, hiding her more feminine delights from public consumption. The top was none existent protection wise, perfectly sheer with just a touch of lace over the deep V, the supple valley of her breasts perfectly displayed. The leather jacket with the heavy flounces about the bottom would push her breasts up high and close, showing off that beautifully elvish little waist while accenting the far from elvish supple flaring hips and ass, pointing out her long legs as they were cross crossed with leather bands in a set of very high wedges. She had pulled her hair back in a high pony tail, wrapping her hair about the tie that held it all up, giving it a sharp cutting look that beautifully contrasted her delicate feminine features… It was chic, edge, harsh and yet decadently feminine all at once… It was a statement… She wasn’t going to take this lying down. She had a set of black diamond earings with twin garnet drops at the end of a blackened silver chains, her lips were left nude with a simple high gloss, her lashes lined with khole to accentuate their size and beautiful almond shape. She would wait for the boys to finish and Mina to arrive, all of them sharing in light small talk before they would all slip into the hired carriage and head out to the trial, she herself decidedly silent and unable to look at either of them during the ride. When they arrived she would give Ace’s hand a gentle squeeze, holding him for just a moment before letting him go, taking Jacobs hand in hers as they took the front row seats side by side.*

…Sybelle Anikin...
…It’s never to late to live Happily Ever After….
: .. she too had received that summons.. they had all done so around about the same time.. it came more or less out of the blue and yet as shocking as it may have seemed.. for most it was expected.. they knew it would have been coming at some point.. it had just been pushed back to the furtherest reaches of the mind.. at least for the time being.. and yet.. here they all were.. she looked to the charges there upon the paper..she had even gone so far as to rub her fingers across the writing.. just to be sure she was reading them correctly.. maybe her eyes were playing her.. could he have really done all that was written here?.. really?.. it mad a lump form there in her throat.. she felt a little bit sick about it.. sure he had done some stupid things.. some very.. very stupid things.. but this.. was something else.. the two of them had decided to curl up in bed that night.. all together.. even with little Aylan.. it would seem they all needed that little bit more closeness.. that little bit more security as such a summons seemed to rock them both to their very cores.. she had woken to find him missing from the bedding but Aylan still curled up close to her there.. she just spent that moment.. looking down at her little boy.. watching as he slept so very soundly.. oblivious as to just what was going on around him.. oh to be so blissfully ignorant to such a horrible situation.. she leant down a little and pressed a light kiss to his forehead.. he stirred a touch and was soon waking along with her.. she heard his voice calling out to her.. asking what she wanted.. she really wasn’t so hungry.. opting for some tea and maybe one of the oat cookies that was resting in the tin there.. she wouldn’t begrudge him breakfast however.. making sure he ate whilst she got herself organised and ready.. slipping into a coral and pale coloured a-line dress.. it was simple and yet still colourful.. she figured so many would be dressed so darkly.. but so far as she was concerned it was no funeral.. a pair of sweet matching heels, some darling thick pearl beads and a silk-twill jacket… fiddling with the tiny rose earings..her hair.. those long kinky lavender coloured locks were pulled back in a loose pony tail.. she made sure Aylans clothes were laid out for him to settle.. the baby bathed.. dried and smelling all manner of adorably sweet..she picked Aylan up once he was sorted.. cradling him there upon her shoulder as she looked to him there.. chewing down upon her lower lip a little.. just a touch.. he looked like a right proper gentleman in his suit.. she offered him a smile.. reaching her hand out to him.. it was hard to be happy about something when something else in the background was brewing that was not so nice.. she worried for Rose most of all.. in all of this.. she could only imagine what her best friend was going through.. it making her heart ache just a little more.. they had settled down into the carriage there.. arriving at the temple soon there after.. the weather was simply dreadful.. it was cooler than it should have been.. and the wind was almost blowing up a gale.. she waited.. allowing him to go on in first whilst she followed close behind.. shielding the little one from the wind as best she could with her jacket.. once inside she would glance around a little.. chewing then upon the inside of her cheek.. a thoughtful and yet apprehensive expression there upon her features.. she would give him a little nod as she settled down to sit where she was meant to.. handing Aylan to Vivian for the moment.. figuring the room didn’t need to hear any extra interruptions or distractions.. she clasped her hands together.. looking across to Ace there.. seated in the chair at the end.. before she would turn to look back to where he had wandered off to.. she couldn’t see so much from where she was seated.. her ears picking up on many sounds.. those around her mostly though.. whispered conversations.. some of shock.. some of confusion.. she noticed him there with someone.. her head tilting curious indeed though far from alerted.. watching as he went to move back.. coming to settle in there nearer to her as he leant in to whisper.. she blinked when he mentioned his Mother was there.. her attention returning back to where he had just been.. Ohh.. Oh dear.. really?.. her fingers curled in around her little bag a touch bit tighter there.. perhaps a touch nervy about the whole thing.. the day in itself just jumped up a few notches on the anxiety scale.. she nodded a little- ..yes.. .. she’d whisper.. - .. of course.. .. Oh her poor little heart was doing a few flips in her chest there and her cheeks would have coloured just a smidgen ..she was thankful when he slid his arm around her.. she really.. really needed that support in that moment.. waiting then in silence.. to see it all unfold-

°.Chivalry isn’t Dead. °.
Dr. Jacob Anikin
...I feel like a part my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything..
..Maybe we’re from the same star..
: .. the summons had arrived to him, this was something new.. he had never been summoned to court before.. Ever.. he’d never really been in the situation where it would be required or needed.. so he wasn’t even sure what to expect.. the charges on the paperwork made him sink back in his seat.. this was someone who was not a big part of his life.. and it would seem there was still a great deal to learn about Ace.. he wondered quietly just how much more could be hidden away, were there more secrets there? Was there more that he should know.. maybe it would be something that would be brought to the front after all was said and done.. providing of course that.. well things went alright.. no one really knew what the elders would do .. no one could ever really take guesses or wagers on it.. their decisions and attitudes changed with the tides.. and with Hanalis guidance.. he wondered too if Hanali was going to back Ace in this instance.. he knew he was being summonsed to talk about Aces character.. and that was harder than he thought it would be.. he didn’t know a lot about him.. and he knew that he had to be honest.. he was at heart a terrible liar.. and everyone in that temple would be able to see right through him.. so he made the decision early on to just be upfront and honest.. hoping that it would be enough.. he dressed in a basic suit.. it was nothing fancy.. it was to serve a purpose.. something he had worn when he was going through his schooling.. it was proper.. it was at best professional.. and in this instance it would work.. his love though.. he could tell she was struggling with it all.. she was allowing all the weight to settle down upon her shoulders.. it was at this point he realised the time for him to be feeling sorry for himself.. was gone.. he needed to be stronger for her.. she needed the help though she might not so easily admit it.. they had shared a breakfast.. though he ate only little.. any conversation between the three was greatly strained.. there was such a silence in the house it even had Pia asking what was wrong.. he tried to reassure her that everything was ok.. that it was just time for her classes .. before she would be sent off with Garrafin.. the two of them talking at the gate for a moment.. going over what could happen.. what the end result Could be.. and it certainly was not so nice.. certainly not something that would go down so well.. the three of them had settled into the carriage.. Rose on one side.. the two on the other.. each just peering out the windows there.. again.. nothing was spoken.. nothing said.. arriving at the temple.. he would step out.. reaching to take her hand to help her down before he would move to make his way up those stairs.. he was completely ignoring the looks the three of them were getting.. and there was quite a few.. the case afterall had become a bit of a spectacle .. inside Ace had been guided down to his area.. he gave him a light pat on the shoulder there.. before he stepped back and allowed her to embrace him.. his head dipped a little before he looked around the area.. catching sight of Sybelle there.. along with Diovan.. Nautilous took him a little by surprise.. as did Vanima.. catching a glimpse of her made his heart bottom out in his chest.. well that was awkward.. he felt her hand sliding across his, he’d grasp it.. holding it there as he lead her down to their seats in the front row.. awaiting till she settled before he would sink in beside her.. he wouldn’t release her hand though.. he held it.. fingers interlaces.. just softly stroking the sides.. exhaling softly.. he didn’t like this.. he didn’t like any of this.. he just wanted it to be over regardless of the outcome.. it was the waiting that was horrible-

...Black Hearted Beast..
Ace Koehler
..You forget who submits - I’ve given up control for you - I’ve bent and adjusted for you..
I’ll do anything to keep you and make you happy
..But I can’t be tamed or topped – Don’t mistake indulgence for weakness..
: .. he knew this day was coming.. he just had this horrible inkling that Caela was going to sing like a fucking canary.. once she had been dealt with.. once she had been all but ran out of town he knew it was only a matter of days.. thing is those days turned into a week.. and then a week and a half.. giving him perhaps just a touch of a false sense of security.. before it struck him like a lightning bolt.. the paperwork arriving to the house by messenger.. his summons.. him being the accused .. it got him quite frustrated.. quite irritated.. each one of those charges there listed upon the paper.. sure.. he’d done his fair share of shit.. but it was not always on his own.. he had paced that back field for the better side of an hour just cussing up a storm that would have made a sailor blush.. the night before his heart, his mind and his body just felt like it was on fire.. and he took it all out on her.. and she let him.. she let him just ravage her.. just torment and torture her.. to get it all out.. to practically exhaust him so he wasn’t able to think anymore.. to force him to sleep because by the end of it he had passed out.. it was not fair on her and soon after this was all said and done he would no doubt realise this.. she’d done nothing wrong.. not a single thing.. this.. all of this was on him.. and he hated the fact that they were being dragged into it.. not even just her it was Jacob too.. and then god only knew who else.. he’d have much rathered to face this thing on his own.. the morning swung around and he had dragged his sorry ass out of bed.. he knew this.. he’d been down this road before.. it certainly wasn’t the first time he had been thrown before the elders.. and he figured it wouldn’t be the last.. it wasn’t the time for tighter jeans or suspenders and shirts.. it was time for something a little more conservative.. sliding on a pair of pinstripe slacks.. light blue buttoned shirt.. waist coat and a tie he struggled with a couple of times before Jacob actually came and helped him with it.. his fingers just weren’t working.. and he was getting so fucking irritated.. he slid on his overcoat.. a pair of black gloves.. dragging a comb through his hair.. a little light shaving to shape the facial hair he was sporting.. making the line of his jaw seem So much sharper.. he looked younger when he did this.. quite substantially so.. like a kid that had stolen a loaf of bread and was being dragged down to the cop shop for a good stern talking to.. breakfast he just kind of looked at.. he wasn’t able to face Pia.. he couldn’t bring himself to.. and he knew that was one of the reasons she was asking so many questions.. they had gotten so close especially after that weekend.. he watched her as she came down those stairs in that outfit.. It was certainly eye catching.. tight and So very black.. different from what she would normally wear.. she was So fucking gorgeous.. enough to make his heart just ache there in his chest though he said..nothing.. the carriage ride was much the same.. silence.. awkward horrible silence.. arriving to the temple.. he slipped out one side whilst Jacob helped her out.. the three of them walking up those steps.. his gaze ahead regardless of those that tried to get his attention by calling out to him.. inside.. was so very cold.. so very cool.. the place was darker than he was expecting and it took his eyes a moment or two to adjust.. he exhaled when he saw Diovan and Sybelle.. Nautilous and Vanima.. had they also been called upon?.. Vanima he was curious about.. had she perhaps also been called upon as an acused?.. and would he if requested.. rat her out?.. or would he keep tight lipped about it. That grey gaze of his lingered upon Vanima a moment longer before he turned.. feeling Rose’s arms sliding around him.. giving him that supportive squeeze .. his right hand lifting just a little to brush across hers before she released and was gone to her seat.. he turned then toward the Elder before he made his way toward that one chair.. the man of the hour so to speak.. listening then to the words as they were slowly spoken to him.. that of blackmail.. of rape.. of murder.. and then the other charges that were kind of sitting upon the wire so to speak due to Caelas own guilt.. therefore being unreliable.. he rubbed his lips together when asked what he would have to say for himself.. his right hand lifting.. reaching back to rub against the back of his neck there before his hand would fall back to his lap.. he’d stand from his seat- ..There’s not really a great deal I can say for myself, now is there?.... his head would tilt to the side.. his voice taking on that semi pitched tone- .. you have all the dirty little details written down there infront of you.. You’ve called all these people in, that .. he shook his head and exhaled- .. don’t deserve to have their days disrupted because of my own stupidity and misgivings

- Is In Story Teller Mode - says to ALL: -The Elders upon their high backed chairs had waited for everyone to come in, for those who had been summoned to arrive, only then would they have started the trial. The crimes had been listed, the ones they held evidence for, and the others that unless something was forthcoming wouldn’t be pressed. They had given Ace the Option to speak, to say something in his defense, yet what he said… Was not quite expected. Some would have begged mercy… Others would have attempted to deny it… Even more would have tried to justify it…. Yet he did none of the above.-
”These People… Are at the Service of their Elders… Each person who has been called, is to keep the balance, to ensure a fair trial as is the right of all Arvandorians… We have been given the crimes you have committed, and by your own words Ace Koehler, You Admit to Them… Is That Correct? Do you admit to Murder….Rape… Blackmail… Assault?”
-They would wait for his decision one way or the other, letting the silence hang heavy in the room, waiting until people were nearly ready to claw their seats before they would speak-
”We call forward Miss Vanima Mistrider, who is also on Trial, as she has shared in these crimes with Mr. Ace Koehler…. Vanima Mistrider, do you Admit your Guilt in the areas of Murder… Blackmail…. And Assault?”
-Another Pause as Vanima would either admit to refuse her guilt. It was then that they would begin to call people, each person on that list of paper, a set of questions asked of each and every one of them…-
”We Call Sybelle Anikin to the stage, former Fiance of Ace Koehler, please step forward… We call you here as a witness… Through your time with Mr. Koehler, can you in all truth, say that his deeds were good and honest? Did he live to better his fellow Elf, to work in Harmony with the tides of Arvandor, to strive to be perfect in all things? Were you aware of the fact your sister Caela was the woman accusing him of rape, thereby resulting in her son, a Mr. Sinaht Aranosse?”
-They would ask, pauses for her answers and reactions, notes being taken as the elders would whisper to one another behind their hands.-
”Diovan Fironiil, we call you to the stage, Captain of the Moonlight Tryst… We ask of you this… Were you aware of the blackmail of several people of whom you were in close contact with? Did you know that Caela Anikin was being used by Mr. Koehler? What can you say as to the mans character? Can you say anything in his favor that might attest to a nature that is worthwhile?”
-Again whispers were spread across the twelve chairs, all depending on Diovans answers, waiting for the answer of each one before he too would be dismissed.-
”We call to the stand Lady Malaika Fironiil to the Stage… We understand you spent some time with Ace Koehler in the recent past, and that you might be able to provide support for his nature? What might you be able to say in his defence?”
*There would be no whispering then though, the woman was a bit of a legend in some circles, and it was best not to dally or disrespect someone who was good friends with Corellon.*
”We call Jacob Anikin to the Stage as a personal character witness for Ace Koehler… Can you tell us, Mr. Anikin, about Mr. Koehler? Can you say, in the time you have known him, that the charges laid against him could possibly be erroneous? Can you attest to any goodness in the man, that there is a chance of redemption, of turning aside his deplorable and unforgivable acts? Can you, in all truth, admit to a single redeemable quality in the man?”
-This one had more than a few curious onlookers… Of course the group in the room was small, only those summoned and a few high up fish on the food chain and that was it, but everyone wanted to see this part… After all, Jacob had been the one who had his fiancé stolen out from under his very nose while he was at war, all by the very man on trial. More than that, he had gotten two children on her, and all the while had the stones to expect him to share her… Oh it was so, so juicy, no one would pass this up for anything! They would either share gasps or frowns of disappointment, it all depended on what he said, but there would certainly be reactions. They all knew who was coming up at the end… And no one knew quite what to think of the human turned elf turned Fiery Adore.*
”We call Rosamund MacDonald to the Stage… As Victim, and Witness… Tell Us, Miss MacDonald, is it true that while on the surface you were kidnapped by Mr. Ace? Is it also true, that during this kidnapping, you were under the influence of powers outside of your control? Is it true, that while you were with him, that he in fact lay with you and got you with child? Can you say that you would find it hard to believe he is guilty of the crimes he is being accused of? Can you attest to any moral fiber he might contain? Of any worthwhile traits or salvageable material that would make him worthy of remaining in Arvandor?”

°For The Night Is Dark And Full Of Terrors°
: *Well this was a bag of shit that someone beat with a hammer, soaked in kerosene, and lit on fire… There was no way to really salvage this, and though she knew it would be a deal more fair than what had happened in the Underdark, it certainly didn’t mean that it was going to be a cake walk. She was shocked when she was the first called on, her back stiff and straight, her shoulders perfectly level and her chin held properly… She looked like a perfect young lady, one you might see in the library or perhaps a school room, though she did love a good ruler but not for those reasons! She was asked to admit her guilt, and she thought of it as a well fuck it, I’ve had an interesting life so far…*”I admit to it yes… I admit that I murdered my husband who raped and beat me for years because I couldn’t give him a child… I killed him in self-defense and tried to hide my crime out of shame, out of fear that no one would believe me, and as a last hope that I might have kept the utter failure of my marriage a secret… I admit to Blackmailing those who had tried to take advantage of me, those who knew of what happened, but had never once tried to protect me… I threatened to reveal they fact they were taking advantage of me sexually in exchange for monetary gain… I admit to assault in self defense from angry wives and lovers, as well as a few men who would not, or could not take no for an answer….”*She said in a soft voice, her whole demeanor seeming just so fragile, so delicate and feminine… It made a man just want to swoop her up and protect her.*”Ace Koehler was only helping me, his crimes are only linked with mine in his attempt to keep me safe, to help me from being any more badly used because of my mixed lineage…”*She would look at the Elders beseechingly.*”I ask for Mercy… For leniency please… Not for myself… But for my baby… I have a son, a little boy, he is very sick and he needs constant care… You see… Ace continued to help me because the father of my baby, he doesn’t know, and Ace has been helping me care for him through these rough times… I beg you, let us stay, don’t send us to the surface where my little boy would die… He is all I have… But… But if you must… Then please… I ask that I be allowed to leave Rowan with his father, Dr. Anikin, just to make sure he will be well cared for…”*Oh she was playing it UP, tugging on the heart strings, letting the tears well up and fall down her beautifully angelic cheeks… Oh she blushed, she flushed, she stammered and had broken little sobs, adorable little hiccups… Oh she was so… So helpless… So defenseless…*

-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *He and Sybelle were both a touch set back by the summons, the two of them just spending the time closer together, perhaps afraid that they might be torn apart again by forces outside their control. They all got ready but Sybelle… She looked stunning to him, that pretty coral dress and shoes, the pearl necklace and rose earings… She looked just perfect… They all ate what little they could, truth was no one was particularly hungry, but they tried to go through the motions as best they could. They all got in that carriage together and out, the weather was piss poor and crappy to say the least, the two of them trying to keep the rain and wind off of Aylan as they went in. They were settled down in their seats, nods exchanged with those who they knew, but generally the atmosphere was more somber than a funeral. He saw Ace go up, though he put up no real defense, simply admitting that yes he did it but he didn’t see why everyone else had to be drug into it… Then the questions began, Vanima going up first and just…. Dropping that bomb on them all… He was… A grandfather… from… VANIMA?! How in the world was he supposed to take that?! How in the hell was Jacob going to take it?! Oh… Ok…. He watched Sybelle go up to speak, though in truth after what he had just heard, he was a bit fucking agog… A big bit… It wasn’t until his name was called that he pulled his head out of his ass so to speak, blinking blindly for a moment before standing, moving to the podium to speak.*”I can attest that I knew nothing of the blackmail, nor did I know anything about Caela or her relationship with Ace, what ever it was… I can however say that I can attest to his good nature… He has helped me out in the past, he saved my sons life when he was born without breath, and in the end is engaged to one of my best friends… I can say that when he is here… We are all better as a whole… The weather stabilizes… Good things happen when he is around, and you can not deny that he is a favorite of Hanali’s, and he has been for much of his life… I would say that… It is not up to use to judge… Not that he isn’t guilty, but simply that there is nothing, nothing that will ever erase Hanali’s favor on him.”*With that he would step down, return to his seat with Sybelle, and wonder just what sort of a fucking circus act this was going to be.*

-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *They had some gall calling her to the stage… She had come and agrees to bear witness, to perhaps help them guide the performance in their favor, to… Smooth the road… After all, she and Ace had split on amicable terms when she had lost the pregnancy, there was no bad blood between them. She stood up from her seat behind the screen, her white silk dress done in perhaps what would be see as a very traditional elvish style, the sleeves and skirts trailing along the ground as she took the stand. She listened to the questions, finding it all rather stupid really, it was like watching a man play with a limp member… A bit Pathetic.*”I did yes, we spent a total of three months together on the surface, to which point we split amicably between us.”*She would say with a slight nod of her head.* I can say that I give him my support, that I feel that he is giving up his wayward ways, shaking off the bad history and habits of his past… We are all young and stupid at one point, some of us just take a little longer to mature is all, and I feel personally that he has reached that point… I say that the past should be left in it’s dust and memories, revisiting old wounds do nothing but upsetting the healing, and I don’t feel anyone here appreciates this… You heard my Son… Things are better with him here… If you feel you must punish him, then give him community service, set him to a task that only he can perform… He is brilliantly skilled magically, and he has a lot of… Stamina, magically, to do things that would break a weaker elf…”*She would pause as a perfectly crisp white rose would appear in Ace’s vest pocket, beneath it hanging a little golden heart watch fob, the perfume of roses in summer suddenly filling the room.*”You see?... She shows her favor… Let it go my Lords… His own past and misdeeds haunt him worse than anything any of us could ever do with him…, Tis a nasty battle for a strong man when he fights himself… But at the end… I think he really is good for this world… And pushing him out to appease corpses and fools does no favors for the wise and living.”*She would say before she would step down. She would look at her soon to be daughter in law and smile at her with her eyes closed, waving her hand softly, a gentle hello before she would leave the room.*

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
: *There was sadly no way to break the awkward silence in that house… Ace had left to rage, Jacob was withdrawn and silent, and it left her with three babies and a very sad and confused little girl. Later that night she simply submitted… Fully… Entirely… She let them use her, and in that she found her own little spot of freedom, a place to escape to… She was left bloodied and broken a bit without a doubt, but it needed to be done for them otherwise neither of them would have gotten a drop of sleep in between them… Breakfast was not much better, thankfully though the little ones were sorted without issue, Goddess bless her good friends… The boys weren’t arguing or even standing a bit aside from apart, this actually seemed to bring them in a touch… She saw Jacob help Ace with his tie, Jacob taking Pia out to Garafin, and the house was just… Perfectly still… She made herself eat a piece of toast and some juice, she knew if she didn’t she would get right back into that nasty habit of not eating, which in turn would play hell on her body. She got ready herself at the end and came down the stairs, taking Jacobs offered hand, needing it so much more than she would ever admit… She might have a calm serene face, but her hands, her hands were cold and trembling. The carriage ride was more silence, everyone afraid to say anything, afraid of saying the wrong thing… They arrived and temple and everyone just rather filed in, pulling Ace into a gentle embrace, not daring anything more… She and Jacob would link hands and walk to their spots at the front, and she was so… So happy he didn’t let her go… Before too long it was suddenly like a war in the room, not because of loud words, but because of the verbal explosions… Bomb after Bomb after Bomb… She nearly fainted when some dark haired woman, a Vanima, was called on to trial… She professed her guilt, only asking that they spare her for her child, and if not to leave the child with his father Jacob. She just felt dizzy, sick, all of her blood just flowing out of her body… She knew Jacob had strayed that one night… Black out drunk… But… She never would have though that… That it would have resulted in a baby… Jacob had a baby… With someone else… Oh she was a mess… Sybelle was called up… then Diovan… then Diovans mother she presumed with that last name… Jacob was called… All of them were muted… All she could hear was a faint ringing in her ears… It was suddenly her turn… To go up… Not as a character witness but as a victim… All of a sudden her past was there, laid out for all to see, and it made her bloody pissed.*”It is true that I Was under the illusion that I was having one of my very frequent lucid dreams… I suffer from them and night terrors, and oft times if I am sick, I struggle to tell the difference so I wouldn’t call it a kidnapping… There was no violence in the act, and though yes I realize I am quite short, I am far from a kid.”*She would say, her voice perfectly level, perfectly even despite the bright spots of color on her cheeks and the tears in her eyes.*”It is true that I did lay with him, and yes, it is true we have a child from that night… He is my third born, Ionwe, who was conceived a week after my twins Aelora and Alaric. If the court is so interested in my reproductive habits, I do offer classes every third weekend where I teach couples about how to go about make love. It might do you all a bit of good to worry about your own sexual habits than that of others which do not pertain to my Fiance’s guilt or innocence, thank you very much!”*She would say with a slight toss of her head, sending those golden curls shaking down her back, blinking away the tears with such a gensture.*”I think everyone is capable of evil, if we weren’t, we wouldn’t be capable of any good either. This world lives in balance with the light and the dark, you need sunshine and moonlight you can’t exist in just one of them, no more than you can pretend every person in all of Arvandor is a perfect individual. Yes, Ace has done dark things, but he also did them all for a purpose. I have seen him change in the ten months he has been in Arvandor, I watched him quit his bad habits, I saw him struggle out of the darkness of his past and come into the light. He makes improvements every single day, he is an amazing Fiancé, and a very loving father to his children. I would say that he is worth all of you up there, sitting in your robes and passing judgement, as if your age suddenly makes you pure and worthy of passing tallies on others. Instead of wasting everyone’s time with this trial, you should be looking for the people who sold those children for sex slaves. You should be sending medicine and food to the outlaying villages, and most of all pulling your head out of you arses because, sorry loves, it’s not a hat!”*She would say, her anger, her rage at everything coming to a head as she dressed those elders down. She slapped her hand down on the table there, making several people jump.*”Our Lady Goldenheart has appeared to him and spoken on his staying here and helping this world! If you think you know better than she, that makes you senile, not smart! I trust My Lady, My Goddess, DO YOU?”*She would turn on her heel and walk away, not waiting to be excused, simply walking over to her spot and sitting next to Jacob.*

…Sybelle Anikin...
…It’s never to late to live Happily Ever After….
: ..she had remained there.. curling in just that little bit closer to him.. needing his protective arm.. his hold there..everything seemed to be spiralling.. and she knew her time to step up would be soon.. though surely not right off the bat.. her softly duo coloured gaze fell onto Ace there as he spoke up.. hearing the tone in his voice.. the words he spoke.. she figured he was struggling a little on the inside but was going to use his stoic defence.. the raven haired woman stepped up first.. she knew of Vanima.. but couldn’t recall ever meeting her.. at least not properly, though her memory could certainly not be so easily relied upon.. her head tilted as she listened to the question from the Elder.. and then heard the response.. her brows furrowed when she heard about this womans husband raping her, beating her for years all because Vanima was unable to get pregnant.. oh the sympathy there in her blue/green eyes was rather apparent.. she felt so very bad for this one she didn’t even really know.. the bombshell however.. the little piece of information there at the end.. about her child.. and his father being Jacob.. oh her mouth just fell open and she blinked.. and blinked again.. and then again.. glancing across to Jacob there.. and then to Rose before she looked back to Vanima.. Oh good goddess.. she looked terribly confused.. could this be true?.. was it right?.. she knew nothing of any of this of course. But wow.. ok.. she didn’t even have a moment to digest any of that information before her name was called.. she stiffened in Diovans hold there.. chewing lightly on the inside of her cheek before she begrudgingly withdrew from his hold.. placing her purse down as she slowly made her way across to the prominent position.. her gaze lingering upon Vanima for a moment..with concern and confusion all intermingled upon her youthful features.. before she tuned her attention back to the one whom was speaking.. her brows furrowed a little at the questions.. some of them didn’t make a lot of sense to her.. and some were perhaps a bit jumbled.. perhaps they had their information wrong?.. she shook her head a little- .. I can say with truth and complete honesty that Ace’s deeds were good and honest.. he was nothing but a complete gentleman when we were together.. .. which was honest.. she wasn’t even trying to bend the truth.. not even a little- .. he never once lifted a hand to me.. or had a cross word to say.. .. her fingers curled in together there before her.. interlacing as she toyed with her ring.. it was steeling her.. it was grounding her thoughts.. allowing her to continue without getting to jumpy and wanting to flee- .. as for him working in harmony with the tides of Arvandor.. .. she shook her head- .. I’m not entirely certain what it is you mean or what it is you are requesting of me.. but we didn’t live here when we were together.. we were on the surface.. .. she glanced back over her shoulder to Ace there.. just for a moment before she turned to look back to the Elders- .. I was not aware of my sisters accusations no.. I wasn’t aware of anything that my sister was up to.. or had been up to.. Clearly that information was on a need to know basis.. and I.. didn’t need to know.. .. she exhaled a little- .. I was not around.. when Sinaht was born.. that would have been shortly after.. .. she fell silent then.. Sinaht was born after Jacob..- .. Jacob was brought into the world.. when I was withdrawn.. .. she nodded her head.. not feeling terribly comfortable with the current line of questions.. finding there were inaccuracies in their information and their accusations were in some causes.. possibly wrong.. she asked to be excused.. before she turned.. heading back to settle down to sit.. Diovan was called upon next.. leaving the space beside her as he stepped up to give his character reference.. she had to agree with everything he had said.. it all made perfect sense and surely those who were in power would understand that… unless of course they had an ulterior motive to get rid of him.. you could never be truly certain in these cases.. so much underhanded stuff went on behind closed doors.. she was greatful when he returned to her side.. when he settled down there to sit.. her hand reached for his..fingers interlacing as she leant in against him.. just needing him in that moment.. then would be the time she would lay eyes upon his Mother.. her breath almost stilled in her throat when she caught sight properly.. the white silk gown.. the regality of it all.. she was beautiful.. stunning.. and she had that air of importance circling around her in that moment.. she couldn’t have been more in awe really.. she relaxed considerably when that scent of roses suddenly filled the room.. it was so very pleasant.. so calming.. hanali had that touch.. to settle the hearts of those who were anxious.. of those who were on the brink of just crumbling.. her head had come down to rest upon Diovans shoulder there.. watching as his Mother spoke on Ace.. and how Hanali had shown him favour.. before she would move to step down.. looking directly at her with a smile.. she bit down upon her own there.. catching the gentle hello.. the wave to her before she stepped out of the room..it was then Roses turn to move up.. to step into place.. oh she held onto Diovans hand a little tighter then.. truly feeling for her friend.. truly wishing she could just get up and embrace her.. to hold her.. she noticed the tears there just begging to fall.. she heard the subtle changes in her voice.. oh she just ached for her best friend.. things got firery fast though.. the hand banging down on the table made her jump a little.. every single thing Rose had said made perfect sense.. it was as if she had been put on trial.. and it had nothing to do with her.. that was not fair at all.. she watched as Rose stalked off back toward her seat there.. leaving the Elders more than a bit flustered.. she closed her eyes.. summoning just a touch.. just a small dab of magic.. a tiny piece of paper would come to rest there upon her tight little skirt.. once unfolded it would read.. ‘You can do this’ with a curved S beneath it.. she believed in her friend.. she truly did.. and she knew Rose could get through this-

...I feel like a part my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything..
..Maybe we’re from the same star..
: . he continued to hold her hand.. to lightly stroke it.. to give it gentle squeezes every so often.. he was not going to let her go.. not until he would have to stand up.. but of course the moment he got back it would return.. he wanted to be her support.. he wanted her to know she could rely on him if she needed it.. if she needed a little more help he would be there.. it didn’t matter what it was.. his attention shifted toward Vanima as she was called up first.. he’d really only come across her once.. and that little drop of time was not something he really wanted to remember all to soon.. though his memories of such an act were vague..very very vague.. he just woke up there with her.. nothing else seemed to make any sense.. he listened as she spoke on her story.. on her husband and how he beat her.. all because she couldn’t give him a child.. on the assaults of wives.. and others.. that Ace had helped her out when she needed it.. especially with her child.. he blinked upon hearing she had a baby.. he had heard nothing about it.. but then again he had not been in the hospital for quite some time.. oh but for the love of Hanali.. every single bit of blood just drained from his face when she said the baby was hit.. his shoulders sunk and the hold he had upon her hand tightened.. the tremor seemingly getting a touch worse as there was a visible tremble.. he swallowed down the lump forming in his throat there.. he wasn’t sure what to do in that moment.. or even where to look.. he could hear the whispers from those around him.. he was in complete and utter shock.. he caught his Mothers gaze.. his brows were furrowed.. he looked as though he were about to be either visibly upset or sick.. he turned his head looking to her there.. looking to his wife to be.. and he shook his head.. just a little.. she had to have seen it.. she had to have noticed the apprehension.. the almost fear there in his eyes.. he was completely oblivious to any of this..Sybelle was called up to speak.. and then Diovan.. and then Diovans Mother.. who had a captivating audience.. all the whispers and chatting ceased the moment she took the pew.. before he heard his own name.. he just about jumped out of his skin.. he gave her hand another light squeeze before he moved to stand.. straightening his jacket there as he cleared his throat.. one of his fears being his voice would betray him as his throat felt like a desert.. he paused once the questions were asked of him.. he was quite unsure of just where to put his hands.. feeling more than a little vulnerable.. and his hand in that moment was shaking terribly..causing him to grab it.. to hold it with his other- ..Mr Koehler.... he nodded- .. Ace.. is.. .. he’d pause.. looking back to him a moment.. jus taking that space.. that few seconds.. before he would turn back to the Elder- .. he’s a good man.. yes.. who’s had a not so good run.. .. his brows furrowed- .. I can’t say anything on his charges.. I refuse to answer on the fact that I simply do not know.. I could stand here and throw you all kinds of ideas on what he may or may not have done.. but the fact is.. I was not a witness to any of those.. Any of them.. so.. with that reasoning alone.. I can say with utmost certain that no.. he didn’t.. .. he tilted his head- .. if it weren’t for him.. I wouldn’t have met my fiancé.. if it weren’t for him.. I wouldn’t have come home.. .. he shook his head- .. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have my two beautiful children.. I wouldn’t have met my Mother.. or known of my Father.. .. he’d glance toward Sybelle and Diovan there a moment- .. because if it weren’t for him.. I wouldn’t be here.. at all.. .. he exhaled.. turning then after asking to be excused before he would sink back onto the seat.. his hand reaching to rub across his forehead.. oh he did not feel good at all.. he was still reeling from the earlier information.. could it be true?.. could it really be true?.. Rose then moved to stand and that’s when everything went haywire.. the general atmosphere in the room shifted.. the Elders seemed to sit up a little straighter as she layed down the law .. her voice rose.. echoing through the silent hall as not a single soul around them dared to talk.. he himself blinked when she slammed her fist down on the table.. his breath audibly catching.. she in that moment brought everything into perspective.. absolutely everything.. she ripped off the bandaid so to speak.. to allow everyone to get to the root of the problem without skirting around the issue like everyone seemed to have been.. she returned to his side there and if she let him he would have pulled her in for a very tight.. wholly encompassing embrace.. guiding her head to his shoulder there as he just held her..-

..You forget who submits - I’ve given up control for you - I’ve bent and adjusted for you..
I’ll do anything to keep you and make you happy
..But I can’t be tamed or topped – Don’t mistake indulgence for weakness..
: .. all of this was turning out to be fucking torture to him.. all of it.. it was slow moving.. like snails moved faster than this lot.. just waiting for them to read out one single fucking sentence seemed to drag on for like a year he was sure of it.. he just wanted to stand up and tell them to hurry the fuck up with it all.. he almost didn’t give a damn what the verdict was.. he just didn’t want to be seated there in the fucking middle whilst everyone skirted around it.. irritating to say the least .. the Elders asked him a question and he answered it.. point blank.. they didn’t seem to happy with his answer though.. re-asking him again.. he exhaled.. - .. Would you rather I lied about it?. .is that what works around here?.. deception?.. Would I waltz on out of here without a care in the world if I was to stand here and just say nah.. I didn’t do any of it.. knowing You damn well know I did.. what game are you trying to play here.. .. he was getting flustered and it was clear and obvious.. just via the tone in his voice.. his facial features refused to change.. he had put on that mask.. that wall that Rose knew all to well.. he sunk down onto his seat.. semi reclining as Vanima was called to stand.. he turned.. glancing toward her as she laid some of it down on the table..about her husband.. about the murder .. the assault.. only to then throw him into something he really had nothing to do with.. but his face didn’t show any surprise.. not an ounce of it.. the child.. well that was news.. he had no idea she’d been knocked up.. she’d always been so fucking careful about it.. having told him in no uncertain terms that she was going to get pregnant via Diovan.. though Oh.. OH! Jacob now.. oh he wanted to turn his head and look to the boy.. he really did.. but that would have given away far to much.. it would have thrown fire on the already smouldering fire there so he kept his gaze upon the elders.. just forcing it all down.. eager to open the bottle of What The Fuck when he was able to leave this place.. his fingers curled inward.. his knuckles lightly crackling in the silence there.. Diovan was next.. he really wasn’t sure what to expect from him.. he’d actually told Diovan to not stand unless he really felt he needed to.. as he didn’t need people doing it for Other people.. it just fucked him over.. annoyed him.. he liked what he heard however.. it was.. good.. it was.. nice to hear it.. ahh.. and there is was.. Hanalis favour thrown upon him.. another person bringing it to the front.. the never ending struggle he had deep down with that.. Ahh if only life were so simple.. he just about fell out of his chair when Malaika was called upon and she appeared there.. his face didn’t register.. but his body did when he sat up perhaps a little straighter than he had been a moment prior.. he was actually surprised.. a little shocked to say the least.. of all the people he expected to be there.. she was certainly not one of them.. he listened to what she had to say.. it was good because it wasn’t necessarily About him.. more about just letting it all the fuck og.. before he’d feel that hold upon him.. his lids half closed then that rose appeared.. the chain dangling.. glittering in the very dim lighting.. oh he’d felt the presence upon himself.. he knew Hanali had been there.. right before him in just that mere moment of time.. fuck he was conflicted.. and confused.. but damn if he was going to show it.. then it was Rose.. he watched as she moved from the seat.. he didn’t appreciate what was brought up for her.. that wasn’t fair not in the least.. it had nothing to do with any of that.. the charges had Nothing to do with her.. he could feel her getting upset.. he knew she was close to tears.. he could hear it in her voice.. see it in her eyes and it was the first and only time his expression was betrayed.. his brows furrowed and his head dipped backward.. his hands rising to rub across his forehead.. fucking hell to all of this.. he’d had enough of ALL of it.. she slammed her fist down on the table there.. making just about everyone in there jump before she stalked back toward Jacob- .. THAT’S IT.. I’ve had it.. honestly.. what the actual Fuck.. This is turning into a circus.. IS this what you want?.... he would look to the elders there- .. is it?.. You are agitating so very many people.. so many people that have done SO much for you.. Each and everyone of them had worked under you in some capacity and look at them.. if they aren’t completely shell shocked.. and disturbed.. they are in tears or upset or angry.. Open You Fucking Eyes.. For the Goddesses sake.. this is NOT how she runs things.. have you forgotten how she runs things.. have you become deaf to her teachings.. Have you Ignored her.. ??

…-she was the only pure thing in my life and in my life I neglected her-…
: ..he had received the letter from this young woman named Rosamund .. it had found its way to him as each and every letter ever did.. he was never without news, things didn’t get lost when you were someone with utmost importance.. he had been looking for his son for quite some time, trying to track him down in just about every corner of the surface, the rift and beyond.. he had however not tried Arvandor yet.. and since the letter instructed him to go there.. that is the direction he had chosen.. he found the information inside the note quite intriguing.. there was to be a wedding!.. to a woman no less.. and that was all manner of exciting.. it meant that the succession rules applied.. his other son being so openly gay just irritated him to no end, it was ridiculous.. and not at all helpful.. but to hear this, well it was cause for celebration and he was going to grab that party by the horns.. both hands and give it a good old fashioned rogering! He had settled into a carriage with several horseman, guards and well equipped servants.. he would only ever travel in style even when the distance was this long.. and long it was.. magic aside.. it still took days to get here.. it wasn’t until he had reached the outer city that he had been told of the court case.. the temple summons and how his son was on trial for all manner of charges.. ‘figures’ was the first thing that came out of his mouth.. his son Ace had always been the black sheep of the family, getting himself in all manner of trouble when he was younger though it was always such small things.. never anything like this.. well he couldn’t have him exiled.. he needed him now.. especially now more than ever.. he took that carriage through the village .. gaining quite a large load of attention.. royalty from neighbouring villages and very lucrative and large ones never came to visit.. unless there was a damn good reason and no one of course would ever figure on the why of it.. up to the temple they would ride before arriving shortly there after..- .. What in the hell is up with this weather.. .. he would tug back on his fur lined coat.. tossing it about him as he moved to step out of the carriage.. down onto only the finest of rugs and mats.. his boots wouldn’t collide with cement or stone.. heavens no.. a herald was sent off ahead as he was shielded from the wind by several of the runners.. doing their best to hold their heavy umbrellas without being blown off into the fields.. he reached the top of the stairs.. tugging down upon his lapels.. shifting his weight a little as he waited on being announced.. the herald came rushing through the doors into the court room.. he was tall and thin.. sharply pointed ears and perfectly pale skin and quite young.. he had stumbled in just when Ace was delivering his tirade so he waited just a moment.. just until the silence had fallen back into the temple before he lifted his trumpet like horn.. playing out a quick soothing little tune.. before bowing.. and introducing his grace.. King Tirithon.. kind of gawking as he looked around since no one seemed to be bowing.. at least not yet.. though those who were seated toward the backs soon understood and dropped their heads.. before he would come in.. his head tilting to the side.. those eyes very reminiscent of his sons.. steel.. sharp.. he looked just like him really.. just a touch older.. a touch wiser.. and a hellova lot more.. regal.. - .. This all needs to stop.. really.. I mean comeon.. .. he shook his head.. making his way down into the middle of the floor there to stand behind where Ace was seated- .. You need my boys help here.. or your crops are going to fail.. and if your crops fail your city dies.. Don’t forget that.. Silverthorn trades with Arvandor.. and we wont if you can’t deliver.. .. his arms rose.. crossing about his chest there.. his gaze seemed to wander over those within the hall.. within the chamber.. he caught a glimpse of Sybelle and bowed his head just a little.. he recognised her.. not really anyone else.. no.. just scanning before his gaze fell upon Rose.. his brow lifted then.. his sight seeming to linger a moment longer before his hands clapped together loudly.. making quite a few people jump from their seats- .. I have travelled a very.. very long way to see my son.. I wont have my time with him delayed over.. nonsense.. give him something to do .. some penance.. some.. work.. I don’t know whatever it is people DO here.. and be done with it.. I don’t know about you but I have things to do.. and if this started.. as long ago as I have been told.. and you haven’t even reached a verdict.. well.. I don’t see us moving for the better part of a day.. not that your weather is anything to be.. proud of.. .. he huffed a little.. his voice was deep.. it seemed to vibrate through just about everyone within the chamber there.. his gaze was stern.. strong.. and unyielding.. and he was not going to take no for an answer- .. Get ON with it

...
: -The Elders had their Reasons for Asking the Questions they did, for Calling whom they had called, and yet… Things were not going as well as they had perhaps been lead to believe… They had been made a fool of in more ways than one, and they were not appreciative of the fact, unable to comprehend how the youth of today had gotten all so very…. Independent… Gone were the days perhaps when young elves tool their Elders words as Gospel? After all, those called were not submitting, they were rebelling, some making a farce out of their questions… No one seemed to align with the Elders, they were all in staunch defense of the witness, even going so far as to excuse some of this reasoning like Vanima had… No… This was all falling out of their grips quite quickly, and they were rather desperate to get it back under control, they had to save face as much as the rest if not more so.
”Vanima Mistrider, we find you by your own admission, guilty of the crimes brought against you. We however, are benign and lenient, and will not banish you to the surface for the sake of your child. Instead, we task you to community service at the Halfway Home for the children of Arvandor, so that you may never be put in a situation to cause harm to another Elf for the rest of your years…. If you fail, or violate this in any way, you will be banished to the surface and your son will stay with Dr. Anikin… This is our final judgement.”
-One of the Priests of the temple would step out from behind the curtained alcove, a white robe in hand to show that Vanima had been judged, her trial having been passed and that she was free to go. He would then guide Vanima out of the halls and into the main part of the temple, out to the great hall where she would be gently ushered out, sent along her way to where ever she wished to go. They would then turn their questioning to Sybelle Anikin, hoping to perhaps find a chink in her armor, surely one of his victims would speak up? Admit that Ace Koehler was someone who needed…. Punished? She prove them wrong in no time flat… She spoke in favor of Ace, that he had been a good and honest elf, that he was nothing but a complete gentleman with her… Even worse, it seemed some of their questions upset her, which got them a touch of heat from the cities favorite girl… Even more so seeing little Aylan there, how could anyone question a mother so harshly, about such a tender subject! She answered each question though, and at the end, she was asked to be excused.-
”Of course, you may go Miss Sybelle Anikin, and we appreciate your help in this matter. Depending entirely on the judgement passed on My. Koehler, we may call you in at another date.”
Naturally they couldn’t tell her no that she had to stay and endure more questions, they were under enough heat with the ones they had asked, the public glare was a bit sharp even for them. They released her with the words that they might need her again in the future, watching her to return to her seat next to Diovan Fironiil, of whom they questioned next. They thought perhaps the leader of the Moonlight Tryst, surely he would have something to say against Ace, the same man who had stolen Diovan’s childhood friend? Yet again they found themselves thwarted, growing a touch agitated at this, how so much of it was going against their plans… Bringing up Hanali’s favor was a bit of a punch as well, some of the older members would remember it, remember how good it was when he was here… Not working in their favor…-
”You may leave, Mr. Fironiil, we have no more questions for you in this matter…”
-If they could have, they would have tossed him out, but sadly decorum was something only they were following today it would seem. They pulled out a trump card, calling Lady Fironiil up to the stage, hoping that she might help fix this mess it was all becoming… Instead she sealed the thing in Ace’s favor. That… Was not intended… They shifted about a bit with her words, chafing at how they had lost control of the situation so easily, Ace proving to be slipperier than a slime eel. Worse, it seemed that as soon as she was done speaking, Lady Hanali herself gave a sign, the white rose of Purity and Innocence in his pocket with a golden heart hanging below. They all savored the smell of roses there for a moment, and they knew that unless they made someone snap, Ace was going to walk out with all charges dropped due to perfect character witnesses and Hanali’s own proclamation. Lady Fironiil took her leave of them then, showing them all too clearly that they had lost her and any assistance they might have gotten from her, feeing that sting all too sharply. They called up Jacob Anikin next, summoning him to the stand, trying to prod at the open wound… Sadly everyone knew what had happened to the poor boy, and they tried to use that in their favor, giving him every green flag to tar Ace’s back end without judgement. Another swing and miss, if anything, he was right up there with making Ace seem like a wholesome man… -
”Thank you, Dr. Anikin, you may step down… We will not be in contact with you again in regards to this matter…”
-They called on Rosamund then, a last ditch swing for the fences, sure that Arvandors little topic of gossip would give them what they wanted? They revealed their trump card in their questioning, hoping to make her admit to what had happened, give them something to draw upon in favor of putting Ace under heat... Plus it would do well to stir the room, perhaps put the man himself in a position to snap, anything to get that one outburst they needed… Though what happened was not what they wanted, no, but it did help… She snapped at them, drug them out on the mat, called them out on things she felt they should be doing. Out of all of them she was the only one who dared to talk back, even more, she showed violence in the act of slapping the table she was speaking at. Well… If you can’t be with the one you want… Want the one your with….-
”Roseamund MacDonald…. We Find You In Contempt Of This Gathering… Your Crass Nature and Tacky Behavior are Unwarranted In a Room full of Your Betters… Since you Can Not Behave in a Civil Manner, we are sentencing you to one month in the cells, to which we hope your human attitude will be….. Improved upon….”
-They would let her embrace her fiancé, though they wouldn’t let her sit for long, two guards coming out of the back with a set of iron shackles. They made it all so very public, hearing Ace finally snap, the two guards either walking behind or guiding Rose away with a black cloak about her shoulders.-
”Unlike some people in this hall, Ace Koehler, not all of us are gifted with clear easy words from our Goddess… If you wish this over, to spare these people who took the fire for you, then submit to your punishment…”

: -Everything went a little haywire then, fan fare in the middle of a very still room, the sudden appearance of Royalty… Ok… Now it was a circus. They all fidgeted, a little pissed off, after all they had already planned on dropping the hammer… Not they would look as if they were doing it on the Kings orders… They didn’t like that a pinch, no, not at all… Worse he was threatening to halt trade with Arvandor, and that was something they could not handle, they needed the goods from across the Rift…-
”Your Majesty… We were already coming to our… Conclusion… We have decided that his penance, his way to make up for his crimes, will be to resume his former duties as both a Paramour and as Hanali’s Chosen… She has not spoken since he left, and as you have so…. Keenly pointed out, Your Majesty, we are indeed in need of him… If he accepts this ruling, then by all means, you may take him with you and spent your…. Quality time…”
-Once Ace did, or did not Accept, they would adjourned the trial… Everyone would be ushered out, the hall vacated, left as empty and silent as it normally was. Only Rosamund MacDonald would remain, taken to one of the small prison cells set in the very back of the temple.*

: *She had admitted her fault yes, but she made it on her terms, her sorrows… Yes it was true, her husband had been an asshole to her, but that was partially due to finding out she was half drow. Was she going to admit that? Hell no! This was all about playing on the soft hearts and sympathies, dragging out her poor little victimized self, looking like such a proper little mother elf. Oh she knew dropping that fact about her child would have shocked dozens, seeing the pity, the compassion on others faces. It was nice being strong enough to let people treat you like shit, when you could handle it all in stride because man, when that turn around comes? It’s incredibly swift and so, so sweet. She waited patiently for the room to settle, for the elders to converse among themselves, whispered exchanged before her sentence was given… Though… She would have taken the fucking surface over THAT. Gods! Why?! Fucking ankle biters?! She bit it all down and bowed her head, her while body seeming to tremble in relief wen in truth, it was pure rage. If it weren’t for the fact Sinaht was recovering, as soon as her ass was out of here she would have bloody taken it out on him over the span of hours if not days! Her? HER! Stuck changing FILTHY little diapers, piss and shit everywhere, puking and screaming and crying…. Foul, loathsome, disgustingly vile little creatures! She hoped Ace would make good for her though, he owed her for that one, covering up most of his deeps with the sweet lace veil of protecting a woman. They ate that shit up like sprinkles here, oh the brave man to help the poor defenseless woman, it was like catnip to the lot. Sure it was all true on her part, though Ace hadn’t known about it, at least it made him look good… And she was sure too he wouldn’t really be stingy in his payback, Ace was always incredibly good about paying his tab, both good and bad. She would ask for permission to leave before she would depart, sending Jacob an almost… Forlorn look… A little sad smile… Perhaps a touch guilty? She would made her way out that same door that they had all come in, her hands clasped before her, her head bowed like the most proper little lady… She knew someone was getting a beat down tonight… She didn’t know who… Or when… But blood WOULD be spilled.*

-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *He was in shock when Vanima dropped the bomb… He knew he was a grandfather already, he had seen little Aelora and Alaric, he loved those little beans quite deeply… They were his line and his mothers there, but this, this with Vanima… It was wrong… Ugly wrong… And all of it was his fault… He had been the one to leave him at the house that night… He should have taken better care of him, kept him from Vanima’s claws, safe from her venom… He was called up and he spoke bluntly, he wasn’t a man to mix words, and he was at best usually rather silent… Sybelle was one of the few he wanted to spend his words on. Ace had asked him not to speak unless he felt it right to do so, and in this case he did, simply stating that he was Hanali’s favorite…. She wouldn’t have chosen someone who was as black as they were trying to paint him up… He had resumed his seat next to Sybelle, the two of them drawing in close, trying to shelter her from the mess this was. It was like dropping blood in the piranha pond, a sudden feeding frenzy as the questions got worse the more people they spoke to. He wrapped his arm around her, his other holding her hand as Aylan slept through all of this in their laps, wrapped up warm and safe in his blanket. His mother went up next, a sign from Hanali appearin to them all, the scent of roses along with the white one at Ace’s vest pocket… There was no denying it… He saw his mother waves to Sybelle, a slight smile on his face as he gave her a soft hug, he could feel her nerves there. Rose went up after Jacob who, considering the bomb that had just been dropped on him, was doing well… Yes, the poor boy looked like he was about to toss the troll, but he held himself well… He was honest and true, his words clear and concise, no muss and fuss in the middle… But Rose… Rose just ended up getting massacred… Vanima had actually committed crimes, true crimes, and she got off with a slap on the wrist… Rose did nothing but show up and suddenly it was a bad case of the Marie Antoinette, her head on the block as her past was drug up for everyone to hear… He knew Rose was insanely private, she didn’t gossip or spread rumors, she certainly didn’t get into peoples business… Then that right there… He didn’t blame her for snapping back… Hell, anyone would. He watched her leave without being dismissed, going to Jacobs arms for him to hold her, Ace getting pissed and giving the elders a verbal smackdown… Suddenly Rose was given a return smack by the elders, the things they said though, oh no…No no no! He slid Aylan to Sybelle and he stood, leaning over his bench, hold his hand out palm up in Confusion.*”Are you all out of your MINDS?! She was defending herself after what you said to her, of which was a violation of her privacy, not to mention completely unrelated to this case! She is not Crass nor Tacky, and right now, I sure as hell don’t see any of her betters!”*He said, his voice calm but there was a heat to his words, a real anger at what was said. He watched them come to take her from Jacob, to shackle her wrists, taking her away. It was shortly after that a King was announced, a short bit of fan fare later, a few words… And oh look… He suddenly found himself sitting on his ass next to Sybelle in pure fucking shock…. Ace’s dad was a King of Silverthorn… That made… Ace… A… Prince… Holy fuck…. He had sex…. With a fucking Prince… Holy what the fuck… Everything else would pass in a blur until someone shook him out of it because yeah, he had pretty much hit the wth quota with a side of disbeliefe.*

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
: *She was physically ill for a few moments… She was pretending she was ok, that the fact Jacob had a baby with someone else, a result of a drunken one night stand… She felt Jacob’s fingers tighten about her hand, feeling his trembling there, her hand coming to rest over his as she pulled it to her lap. He had gone as white as she had, but she couldn’t let it effect her, she had both of them needing her and she wouldn’t let them down… She saw his head turn, their eyes meeting there in the middle a shake of his head… She would lean in close, resting her cheek against his, gently kissing it before she whispered to him and him alone.*”It’s ok… I’m not going anywhere Jacob… We will face it together… I promise…”*Before she would turn back, watching Sybelle go up and get the oddest questions, so many things about this were stupid… Poor Sybelle… When she was done speaking and returning to her seat, she gave her best friend a soft nod, letting her know she was there with her… Jacob went up next, they shared a soft touch, a gentle squeeze of a hand before he was gone… He made no errors in his words, he was perfectly concise, incredibly fair in his speech. What he said was right, he had no idea what Ace could have done, and the elders questions seemed to be more like fishing for a lead rather than actually pertaining to the course at hand. He came and sat beside her for a moment, her hands taking is, gently giving it a squeeze before it was her turn to go up. She would take the stand only for every question they shot at her to be utter bullshit. If she were on the surface she would have told them all to bugger themselves with some sharp acid laced pinecones… She responded to each question yes, but as each one was dropped she found herself getting madder, and madder, and madder… All until at the very end she just snapped, telling them to pull their heads out of their asses, that there were more important things they should be focusing on than this farce of a trial. She slapped her hand down on the table, pointing out that Ace was chosen by Hanali, that she trusted her goddess to know better than any of them. She had faith in her goddess, but perhaps along they way, they had lost theirs. She was making her way back to the bench to sit beside Jacob when Ace hit his ‘No more Bullshit Beyond This Point’ meter. Oh… Not good… Not good… She knew Ace’s temper better than most, and she was afraid that he might give them something to use against him, a weapon even if it was only a few words was still a weapon… She went to Jacobs arms and oh… Oh she needed that hug, her head falling to his shoulder as she just cried, her cheeks flaming sports of shame from what they had just drug her through. She was pulled away from him though, her hands placed behind her back, shackles about her wrists as the elders passed judgement on her… They found her in contempt… As if there was anything that wasn’t contemptible in this bloody thing! She heard nothing outside of her shock, her eyes wide as she felt the cold iron rest against her skin, her magic rebelling at the stuff… A black cloak was set around her shoulders, showing she had been found guilty of something, being turned around to be marched to where ever they would keep her. She wanted to say something in her defense, to tell them they were wrong about her, she wasn’t crass or tacky or anything like that… She had been perfectly civil… Well… Mostly civil… Telling them to stop wearing their asses like hats might have been a little crude but they were making themselves out to be utter imbecils. She heard from somewhere through the heavy wet cotton of her mind the sound of a trumpet… Words being spoken… She turned her head to see someone coming in who looked like he was important, the air he held around him was certainly one who was used to command, to being obeyed… He looked familiar but… She couldn’t place why… Like a niggle… When her mind finally caught up with the situation, minutes late if she were honest, that was a bit like the last shock. Here was a King of Silverthorn, a man who had crossed over from the rift… And…Aces…. Father… Ace… Was a Prince… She wavered on her feet, shaking her head as the room began to spin, trying to make her vision clear up… Everything just started to go to black before she lost everything, the guards not having a good grip on her, no more than they were expecting her legs to suddenly go out from under her. She fainted and hit the floor, head striking the marble floor and opening a gash on her forehead, but she was out before she even bounced the first time.*

…Sybelle Anikin...
…It’s never to late to live Happily Ever After….
: .. her brows furrowed a little when she remained up there upon the platform.. having said her piece .. having gone into a little detail about Ace as a person.. and she was completely honest.. he had been nothing but a gentleman to her. Sure.. he ignored her.. there was not a great deal of love there.. of affection.. but he was never bad to her.. not once.. he was never rough or lifted a hand to her.. their final statement ..releasing her from her position though she could well be called upon again made her frown a little and exhale.. there was nothing more she could really give.. her memory was so jumbled and messed up.. she offered a little nod before she returned to her seat there next to him.. curling in close.. her head coming down to rest upon the round of his shoulder.. this was dragging terribly.. she wondered if it were ever going to end .. she watched as Vanima wandered out of the hall.. her gaze.. that soft blue and green following until the woman was out of sight.. something was telling her there was more information to all of that.. that something had not been said.. an instinct.. a gut feeling.. but now was not the time to look further into it.. her lids half closed as she felt his arm sliding around her.. enabling her to be pressed flush against him.. she was more listening.. not so much watching.. Jacob had moved to stand.. his words were stuttered and gentle.. but they were honest.. she was proud of him really.. his ability to be able to remain standing under such pressure.. though she had noticed his hand shaking all the more for it.. she could only imagine how hard his poor heart was beating.. Rose then moved to stand.. being barraged with odd and horrible lines of questioning.. it didn’t make any sense for her to be treated this way.. she was not on trial and yet it was appearing that because the Elders were unable to get what they wanted from everyone else.. they were focusing harshly upon her as a last resort.. they were crucifying her.. and that was unfair.. her eyes widened considerably when the Elders suddenly bit back.. putting her in shackles shortly after she had moved in to embrace Jacob.. he pulled away to stand there.. to hold his hands up and let them know in no uncertain terms that this was not good enough- .. NO!.. .. she moved to stand.. Aylan there resting against her hip- .. No.. this is wrong.. What is going on here?!.. Why are you focusing on her?.. It’s almost as if you are reaching now.. to try and save face for a trial that has just crumbled beneath you!.. This is not right.. .. her voice crackled a little- .. this is not how it is supposed to be.. and you know this.. you Know this.. You are better than this.. please.. Don’t do this to her.. .. her shoulders sunk when they went to guide her off before the herald darted into the room.. lifting his trumpet.. the sound soft.. thankfully not echoing too harshly in the room.. oh did it ever spark a memory for her then.. enough to make her blink and her brows furrow.. Ohhhhh… oh she remember that sound.. she knew what was coming after it… her gaze fell to Ace there for a moment before she heard Tirithons voice.. her lids closed over and she exhaled.. Ohh if it wasn’t a circus before.. it certainly would be now.. she slowly sunk down to sit there.. watching as everything else seemed to come into play.. she caught Tirithons gaze there.. the slight bowing of his head.. she inclined hers a little.. offering him a small polite smile.. a little nod of her head before she turned back to seek out where they were taking Rose.. the rest of the conversations.. the yelling the arguing amongst a couple were lost on her when she saw Rose begin to falter.. her jaw just dropped open and she slipped out of the section she was behind.. going around the edge of the temple proper as she would try to get to Rose there.. not being quick enough to stop her from hitting the floor.. from hitting the marble.. oh the bloody puddle that was forming just made her gasp- .. JACOB!.. .. she cried out..lifting Aylan up there to her shoulder as she knelt down.. trying to nudge those guards away from Rose in the process- .. Go on.. Get away from her.. Move.. MOVE.. you want her death on your hands.. You want her blood on your hands?.. Move Away before I give the elders a reason to have to bring us all back here again..

...I feel like a part my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything..
..Maybe we’re from the same star..
: .. he had looked to her.. allowing his gaze to linger on hers.. oh he couldn’t have been paler if he tried..he didn’t know what to think.. he couldn’t have possibly been prepared for this.. he had mentally sorted himself for this.. for Ace.. and for Ace alone.. and to be there for her.. but now a great chunk of things appeared to be focused upon him.. he didn’t remember a lot about that night with Vanima.. but it would seem there was a child as a result.. he was so thankful for her words.. for when she leant in close to him.. her soft smooth cheek to his. His lids had tumbled closed and he released a slightly stuttered breath in response.. he needed her.. he couldn’t possibly ever deny that.. he wouldn’t survive a day without her strength.. and he too wanted to be there for her.. she had risen to give her talk.. her discussion.. her side of things though the questions had his brows risen quite high.. they were terribly personal .. more focused on her than Ace which didn’t seem right.. so when she blew up he understood.. he even moved to stand when she started to bang her hand down on the table.. oh this was not good.. oh he just watched as the elders seemed to twitch in response.. she returned to him there and he enveloped her.. he held her so close to him so tightly.. guiding her head to his shoulder there as his lips graced her cheek.. - .. its ok.. .. he’d whisper- .. we will get through this… all of us I promise you.. ..before everything just went to shit.. utter and completely so.. the elders calling upon the guards.. oh he stiffened.. he snapped his head around- .. Oh!.. No no no!.. this.. No!.. you can’t do this.. .. she was shackled there right before him.. he just looked to her.. complete shock there upon his features..turning as Diovan called the Elders out on it.. and then Sybelle much the same..- .. You cant do this.. she hasn’t done anything wrong! .... he was never really one for confrontation.. and would have usually just sat back down and dealt with it behind the scenes.. but this was So wrong.. on So very many levels.. he moved across there to stand before the elders .. ignoring them if they told him to sit back down- .. You just tormented her.. is it any wonder she reacted the way she did.. How is any of this fair.. Tell me.. Just who is on trial here?!.... he blinked when the trumpet started.. the soft regal tune before the gentleman entered the room.. he glanced back over his shoulder.. Ohh.. oh well now this was not a face he had seen in person.. he had heard of the King of Silverthorn.. but he’d never been to Arvandor.. at least not that he could recall.. what in the nine hells was going on.. his hand rose as he rubbed his forehead.. his mouth dropping open when it came to pass that it was Ace’s Father..- .. Oh good goddess.. .. he almost whined.. what more could happen?.. Ace was a Prince?.. Rose was being dragged off by guards.. He was a Father again without even knowing it.. thanks to some drunken one night stand.. he heard Sybelle call out to him then.. the shriek cutting him to the bone.. he had missed seeing her fail.. his eyes having been upon Ace and his Father in shock.. the blood just left his face as he darted across the chamber.. - .. Back up.. Back up Now.. .. he would order the guards there.. he could see the puddle there beneath her head.. it was growing.. not too quickly but she was still loosing quite a substantial amount of blood.. and he knew a hit to the head like that could kill..if the guards didn’t back up he would call them out once again.. his voice only getting more urgent as he pulled his jacket off his upper body..moving down to check on her breathing.. to check her pupils.. he took the cotton cloth blanket from Sybelle.. he’d only move her head if he felt it was safe to do so.. calling upon those around him to organise that stretcher.. she’d need to be taken to the hospital.. and to get those God Damn cuffs off her immediately- ..

Vanima had been called up.. and she had given him an out somewhat.. a chance that the crimes he had indeed committed were perhaps not quite as evil laced as they really were.. that he was helping the damsel in distress.. he knew it wasn’t true.. he knew none of it was.. well except for the child.. that part he wasn’t entirely sure on.. it could have been true.. they had apparently fucked the once when Jacob was drunk.. but that’s all he knew of it.. her penance for such was a bit much.. community service in a place where he knew full well she’d do more harm than good?.. he remained silent.. his face stoic.. emotionless.. expressionless.. though he did turn to glance toward Vanima for just a moment.. Sybelle moved to stand.. now this one he wasn’t sure on.. not at all.. the questioning however was bullshit.. and half of it made no sense.. it was clear why the girl was becoming agitated by it all.. Diovan then stood.. ands as quickly as he had he was sent to sit back down.. it would seem the evidence they were so sorley looking for was slipping right through their fingers.. Mala moved to take the stand.. his gaze lifted.. that steel grey lingered upon her as she spoke for him.. though not a lot of details were divulged.. it appeared to be enough to have that rose appear upon his lapel.. the dangling glittering fob just beneath it.. Jacob just trembled.. the boy looked like he’d been called in before the Elders for a crime he himself had committed.. though if he really thought about it.. he understood.. after the bombshell from Vanima.. that had to have rocked him to his core..Rose though.. oh that’s when it all went a bit haywire.. he was steeling himself as best he could when they tossed the nonsense they did at her.. when they spoke up with utter bullshit.. the questions more revolved around her own nature and deeds.. than had much to do with him at all.. it was as if they were attacking her character.. but why?.. what was the reasoning behind that?.. there had to be something there..something was making them want to get rid of her as anyone would have snapped under those conditions.. his shoulders sunk though when they found her in contempt.. sliding those shackles onto her wrists.. oh and that’s when he lost it.. that’s when his bullshit meter hit its end and blew it right off the machine.. he couldn’t take this anymore..Diovan stepped up, Sybelle soon there after.. the whole place was filled with yelling and cursing.. with whispered words.. shocking gasps and pointed fingers.. Oh fucking hell the gossip mill was going to explode over this he just knew it..- .. Are you kidding me?.. If I wish it over I am to submit to my punishment?.. You haven’t even told me what it is yet.. Get those shackled off of her! This is ridiculous.. You pushed her so fucking hard is it any wonder she snapped.. .. his gaze shifted.. watching as Rose was walked down the middle of the hall there.. black robe upon her shoulders.. those metal cuffs tight about her wrists- .. You are making a mockery of all of this.. What the Fuck is Wrong with all of you!?!.... and that would be when those trumpets would sound.. his gaze actually widened and he turned a touch pale.. the fingers he had upon that desk curled in tight enough to splinter the wood.. his fathers name was announced.. and he heard those boots coming down the steps.. Oh he knew his father was just a step or two behind him.. internally he was cussing more than a sailor would.. Fucking Hell.. he exhaled long and deeply.. How in the fuck did his Father find him?.. who alerted him to his location?.. he would have rathered take the surface over this fucking circus.. he heard the comments tossed about.. about trade.. about how much he was required here.. and how badly things would go if this nonsense continued.. his hands had actually risen.. he rubbed at his cheeks.. his forehead before he dragged his fingers back through his hair.. he needed this to be over.. immediately.. he heard his penance.. that he’d have to return to his duties.. to being a Paramour.. and as Hanalis chosen.. fucking hell.. that wasn’t going to work.. Khorne was going to kick up about that and he’d be tugged from both sides.. there was a reason he had shut out those voices.. and now the only choice he had was to agree.. he glanced over his shoulder.. looking there to his father for a moment.. noticing the man hadn’t really changed.. still looking as much an asshole as he did.. he pursed his lips together before looking back to the Elders there- .. On the condition that She is released.. .. before he heard Sybelle crying out for Jacob.. noticing Rose there upon the floor.. well fuck this.. he wasn’t going to remain there.. he didn’t give two flying fucks about his verdict.. the conclusion of anything.. his soon to be wife was on the floor and the guards didn’t seem to give a shit.. Jacob raced in ahead of him.. he clear jumped over a couple of tables there to get to her.. if the guards had not of moved for Sybelle or Jacob he would have called them out on it.. the sheer anger in his gaze enough to make anyone around him tremble.. he did not need to be fucked with right now.. No one hurt Rose.. he just watched feeling a little.. helpless.. he wasn’t medically trained.. not in this regard..he wouldn’t even look to his Father in this instance.. he just wanted everyone else in the room to just fade the fuck away..-

Tirithon Koehler
…-she was the only pure thing in my life and in my life I neglected her-…
: .. he relished in the fact that the elders were getting fidgety and annoyed with him.. the irritation on their old wrinkled faces was pure entertainment.. he fucking loved it.. every single second.. he rubbed his hands together.. actually reaching across to lay his hand down upon Aces shoulder.. giving it a bit of a pat before the penance was dropped.. Ave having to become the Paramour.. and the chosen of Hanali once again.. resuming roles that he as his Father didn’t even know about.. he nodded.. perhaps a little impressed at just how far the black sheep had come.. though still finding all that was occurring around them a touch strange.. - .. Indeed!.. .. he nodded.. he had caught them calling upon Rose when he walked in however.. his gaze lingering upon this womans as she was lead away with the shackles upon her wrists.. the black cloak of guilt upon her shoulders.. his hand rose to rub against his chin.. curious.. he recognised the face.. he certainly did.. the name however.. well now.. was this the same Rose that had sent him the letter?.. sent him word of his son?.. telling him of their up and coming engagement and of their children?.. was this the woman his son had chosen?.. and yet.. to him she kind of looked like someone he may well have had dealings with in the past.. though.. upon entering the building he had noted the woman in an embrace with another .. a much younger elf.. the one who was now being called out upon by Sybelle.. something had happened.. it would seem the circus just got another act.. this Rose woman had fallen.. hitting her head.. Jacob ran.. Ace ran soon afterwards.. Oh.. Oh peculiar indeed!.. what was this then.. who was with whom?.. - .. if this is sorted and finalised.. I’d much prefer all this nonsense was stricken from the records.. .. he nodded as he approached the front tables there.. he wouldn’t have a great deal to do with the commotion in the corner.. someone had fallen.. there was blood.. there were people tending to it.. why would he get involved?.. those that were called upon to get the stretchers seemed to have frozen in their seats.. he just observed.. was this place really so backwards?.. is this what happened when a city was so isolated? When it had only goodness and light and sweet things.. did it just falter in its ability to move forward.. Oh it was almost embarrassing to watch.. he rubbed his brow.. clicking his fingers as his guards there took up the job- .. Get the stretcher for the woman.. Hurry up about it..It’s my sons fiancé and your future Queen.. You hurt even so much as a single hair on her head.. and I’ll take yours in return.. .. he glanced back over his shoulder.. to whichever Elders were still in the area- .. and that goes for.. EVERYONE in this building.. in this city.. in this corner of the backwards useless universe.. .. he turned to the guards as they came quickly with the stretchers.. - .. take her to my physician ..she’l get better care there than any of the doctors here .... he nodded.. his physician travelled with him.. and though they would use the facilities at the hospital.. he wouldn’t allow any other doctor to lay hands upon the girl-

...
- Is In Story Teller Mode - says to ALL: -Oh so much of this was a bit of an act… A one ring circus… A side show attraction… Normally things like were much simpler, a request to confess to the crimes, a punishment fitting of the sin would be delivered and that was all there was to it. They took a total of about five minutes or so, just a little blip of the radar, and nothing more… This time though… Well they had been put in a position where… They couldn’t refuse… This was not entirely them, they knew very well that this whole thing was just to clear Ace’s name, to make him fall into the line he was supposed to go on… He had to make a choice, this whole thing was meant to push him to accept, and as such they had to do what ever they could to make it work. They were no more happy with their situation than anyone else was at what had happened… They just weren’t allowed to say such. At the end they had been forced to drag Rosamund through the fire, anything to make Ace snap which he finally did when she was cuffed, ready to be carted off to the cells. Oh everyone went perfectly mad, which really, that was all they wanted in the first place.*
”You are in no position to council us, Sybelle Anikin, despite your position at Temple. What has she done but flaunt out laws, change everything she touches, push herself up in the ranks here and provide lewd services on the side? She is a mistake. We shall rectify it and return our land to peace once more, and neither you, nor anyone else will stop us.”
-They rounded on Jacob who had shot out shorty after his mother, telling them that she had done nothing wrong, that it was their fault for tormenting her into reacting the way she had.-
”And what would you have done in her place? Would you have questioned us, told us what to do, demanded we do what you wanted of us? These things must be done to maintain order and control or all shall fall to rot and ruin. Resume your seat, Young Jacob, or face the same punishment.”
-Though it was getting to the point where things were finally coming into fruition, at last the things that they needed to happen were, and Ace was finally at his end. They thought they were being quite fair with her, a few nights in a cell without just bread and water would surely take the fight out of her, and in exchange they also got Ace into their pockets… Well… Of a sort. They told him if he submitted to his punishment then all would be well, his response that he didn’t know what it was, well that was true but they were coming around to it… -
”I am sure you didn’t tell the people you murdered that they were going to die, why should you be given any more courtesy than they did? Why should she? She is only an elf because of some mistake of our pure blood being put into her. Why should she be shown more kindness than a criminal?”
-It was then that Rose would be taken away, being lead through the room on a sort of slow walk of shame, getting to the point they would be taking her down the hall. Trumpets sounded and Royalty was announced, and all their work was about to be shot out the back end if they weren’t careful, King Koehler stating that they had to sentence him already and get on with it. Oh that nettled them something fierce, stuck quite badly between a rock and a hard place, and no real wriggle room on either side. They stated what his punishment was, that he must resume his duties as a Paramour and Hanali’s physical representative in Arvandor, as well as taking over the weather once more. When Ace demanded a stipulation, it didn’t matter, they had what they wanted and Rose really was only a pawn to me moved as ordered if the situation arose.-
”Agreed…”
-King Koehler would speak up then, stating that if all was said and done, he wanted the entire thing removed from the books. Wiped out as if it never happened… Oh they were all too fine with that, the last thing they did was for this fiasco to be set to paper.-
”Of course, King Koehler, consider it having never been set to paper…”
-It would have been then as the guards were going to take off her shackles that she would have fainted, neither of them having any sort of a grip on her, her hands behind her back keeping her from catching herself as she fell. Well, that was going to leave a mark, and a mess… Blood did terrible things to marble… He heard the orders, the threats, the way their King was holding them personally responsible. Oh… Oh no… That wasn’t good. The guards would have ignored everyone, after all they were there to protect the elders, end of story. IT wasn’t till the lead elder waved his hand that they would step away, letting Jacob, Sybelle and Ace all come to her side.-
”Of course, your Majesty, we trust her to your care…”
-With that, they would all begin to file out, people cleared from the halls by the guards as the elders went down the hall on their own. All but three… The eldest and the two under him… They waited in the shadows… Patient… Oh very patient… They knew that the person would arrive soon with their rewards, the promised pay for their job, for making Ace Koehler resume his position.-

: *He wasn’t sure what to do… He felt like he was in a hellish sort of twilight zone where nothing seemed real yet it all was, and it all seemed to get worse the longer it drug on, each passing minute seeming to be ever more impossible than the last. Normally he was so fast on his feet, quick witted, able to make a decision in a matter of a few seconds… But that was on the battle field, that was on a missing, on long ranges… Not a council room, not with Elders who he had grown up respecting, perhaps even fearing a little… Not with his wife, his son, his friends on stand as if this were some macabre sort of play… It was all like a dark sort of joke, like some twisted person wrote the skit up for this in the middle of the night, simply because they were bored… He tried to support Sybelle as much as he could, but the both of them were outraged when Rose was handcuffed, everyone rising to tell the Elders to leave her alone… Shots were fired back and forth between them all, words that could never be taken back, memories that would never be erased so easily… Then as if the fucked up cake were short on a little of that well fuck you too frosting, in came the King with all his pomp and fanfare, turning a bad joke into a late night bad soap opera skit… Ace was told he has to take over his previous duties and only then would the charges be dropped, of which he accepted on the grounds that Rose had to be released… Of course, it just got worse from there, Rose seeming to just drop and hit the deck. He heard the crack of her head on the marble floor, whincing as he felt the pain for her, knowing all too well what a thump like that felt like. He ran over with Sybelle, holding her, trying to keep her from getting knocked over as the guards refused to let anyone near Rose. Jacob came over, squeezing in between a pair of them, looking Rose over to make sure she was still alive. He was handed Aylans blanket before he snapped to attention, hearing the commands that Rose was free, the guards parting around them like water around a rock. The King wanted to have his own physician look her over, that he was better than any other in this town, and forgive him the thought but he was pretty sure that was true. There was some crooked things at some of the Hospitals down here. He looked down at Sybelle and shook his head, gently taking Aylan from her and taking her down the hallway his mother had gone down, wanting to know what the hell was going on. He would find her there in one of the smaller rooms off the side, the smell of carnations telling him where to go, pushing open the door quietly and quickly, closing it much the same.*”Mother… What in the loving name of Father was that?! I have never seen a trial like that before, that was almost like a play, like we were pieces being shuttled about the board…”*

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
-Within the Elders Domain- says to ALL: *Do you ever feel like you are trapped in a dream… A bit like Alice in Wonderland… She was on trial with the Red Queen in her mind, the group of Elders up there were just as mad and unreasonable, only instead of being fat they were old and stick thin… Jacob was her White Rabbit, trying to teach her how to do right, to keep her safe… Ace was the Mad Hatter who always made her laugh, took her on all sorts of crazy adventures, taught her the teapot song…. Her sleep deprived mind was having one hell of a time trying to wrap up what was going on around her, to make it all make sense because really, so much of it seemed like a big fat back of whattheeverclusterfuckits. She was offended at what had been asked of everyone, outraged at the lines of questions, and when they got to her she had just popped. She had only stood up for herself, telling them that there were better things they needed to be doing, only to be held in contempt… She had just gotten to embrace Jacob, tears falling down her cheeks at being left so naked in front of so many people, her privacy shattered even if it was just one incident being brought forward. There was too much anger… Too much yelling… Her wrists bound in the tight iron manacles, her shoulders draped along with that black cloak of guilt, the walk of shame… It was when she heard the trumpets, the announcement of a King no less… Ace being called a Prince… It was all too much all at once for her, just too many hits in a mind and body that were already under a bit of strain and exhaustion, and she crumbled. She was out before she hit the marble, she didn’t feel any pain from the crack, no agony as her blood spilled out from a gash in her skin… By the time Jacob was actually allowed near her, the puddle would be of a decent size, not quite enough to panic but enough to make attention needed. Checking her eyes though… That might worry him… One pupil was far too large, too dilated, it didn’t shrink down when the light hit it… The other was so small it was nearly swallowed up in the sea of green and gold around it, it too wouldn’t move in either light or shadow… Her breathing was shallow, a bit too fast, her heart rate elevated beyond what was normal for her… She was in shock, her body breaking out in a fine sweat, her face and lips a little pale… She was also concussed, her head having taken quite a hit without her arms there to stop her fall, no cushion between her skull and the marble. No words, no snapping of fingers, no slap tapping of her cheek would get her to wake up just now. The shackles would have been released, her arms falling to her sides, her body very much like a full sized doll as she would have been lifted up into the stretcher there. From here on out… It was up to others to care for her, because as of right now, she was utterly useless.*

: *Oh… It had been one hell of an interesting show… He felt a bit like a kid at his first circus event, all eager and munching on popcorn and peanuts, watching each and every little event unfolding under the big top. Oh it was a pity that Sydel couldn’t have come she would have been like a fat kid in a candy store without a spending limit! He had expecting some interesting events, a little bit of drama, perhaps some skeletons in the closet… But those Elders… Well didn’t they know how to go above and beyond the call of duty?! They just raked everyone over in the most random assed way he had ever seen, and from him, that was bloody well saying something! Each step, each reply and response, every question and allegation… Oh Juicy! And here there was his ex lover gone and got knocked up by his nephew! Lush! Oh that kinky bitch… Well she certainly lined her nest good and proper with that, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything till the day she died, at least for as long as the kid survived. Then there was Rose getting bent over the table and verbally buggered, watching her get pissed off and return the favor in a not so nice way, then boom! Shittith hath hittith the faneth! He almost wanted to go ‘Ooooho snap!’ outloud but really, there was a time a place for everything… And this was not just it yet… Jacob, Ace, Diovan and Sybelle all lost their shit skittles on the elders, each one being put in their place by those very same people. Suddenly Sir Snobbery came in and every had to do the whole oh your born into the right family bow, blah blah blah… Only… Oh… OH HO HO! Well now! Mr. Slumming it was in fact a rich boy! More than a rich but, he was a bloody prince! Whoooo Sydel was going to pull someone’s hair out for that one! Rose was handcuffed, not a bad look for her in that outfit really, he would have to tell Sydel about it as it would be right up her alley fashion wise. Within a few moments Ace caved in, he accepted his punishment, becoming Hanali’s go between… Which meant that Ace would be seeking yours truly within a few hours if not days… After all, he would need SOME help to get those claws out of his ass, after all he had set a few in that flesh personally… Though he wasn’t expecting Rose to faint and bite the dirt like that, the crack that echoed in the room was luscious, made him a touch hard there as he tilted his head… The blood flowed out, painting up that pretty marble like a glass of spilled juice, spreading a little too slow for his personal liking but hey… All was said and done though, Rose was released, the notes struck from the record, everyone told to zip it or someone would zip their head from their shoulders… Ok… He kinda liked this guy… He had some talent… Rose was carted off and everyone was shooed off, the elders leaving in a file like good little dodding ducks… They were waiting in the hallway… Someone had after all, put them up to that farce, made several peoples lives hell… And well, that person was himself, of course! He wanted Ace out of Khorns grasp… Sorry, but he had his reasons for it, and the only way to do that was to make him want to leave… Not exactly easy when you basically get paid for doing something you enjoy… The bit with Vanima and Rose was just an added bonus to him, that was just frosting on the cake, ice cream with his pie… He would give the signal and those elders would follow him, all of them cloaking themselves in invisibility spells, making their way off the grounds and into the surrounding woods. When they wre in an area he had set up weeks ago to be perfect hidden from anyone ever finding it, he would drop the spell and stand there not in that tweed outfit, but perfectly naked*”Well… A deal is a deal… Come on, my good little boys, take your sharp little knives and pick your place to suck…”*Elves were hooked on his blood like a drow gets hooked on drugs, he had given them all a wee little sample, telling them if they drank it from him they would all be young and beautiful again… It was far too easy… When they all came within range he struck out, his hand held out and flat, moving so fast it was at best a blur… At first nothing could be seen, only when a flash of lightning struck was the small metallic disk in his hand revealed, blood red and wet… Plop… Plop…Plop… Each head fell to the ground only to be teleported to their house and into Sydels play room, right along with the bodies, all ready for her lunch. After all, a good father and husband provides for his wife and growing child…*

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *She saw Diovan come into the room she had been sitting in, opening and closing the door quickly and quietly, the smell of vanilla and orchids suddenly filling the room. She had come with him them, or rather, he had brought her along. She had been in the room earlier with her eyes closed, she was so used to it she rarely opened them, they tended to make life a bit difficult when she did. However… Well this was different. She heard his question and sadly, at best she could roll her shoulders, her hands gently clasped in her lap.*”What do you want me to tell you, my son? My brothers are eager to go to war, and it is throwing everything out of balance, your Brothers father is set to be dethroned… It is simply fate my love, but you will be safe here, you will not be drawn into it… Now… Instead of worrying about what has happened and what you can not change, I would much prefer you introduce me to your lovely Fiance, the one I have heard about since you were in short pants…?”*She would tease before such things were done, only then turning to her daughter in law, reaching out to clasp her hand.*”Now I know you’ve seen my pictures, but I would very much like to see you, so I am going to open my eyes now… They’re not quite normal, but I would really love to see the girl with the purple hair that my little boy has loved his whole life, as well as that precious baby…”*She would say before she would open her eyes, revealing the bright crystal like rainbow color of her irises, a thousand different shades of every color there. She would look at Sybelle and smile warmly, happily, invitingly. She wasn’t one of those bitch mother in laws, she wouldn’t be a ranging cunt to Sybelle, or pick at her and everything she did. She made Diovan happy, what more did a mother really want for her son? Any extra was just that, extra. She would to move to reach for Aylan, wondering if she might hold him, and if he was passed over she would hold the little boy gently.*”Diovan was about this big when he was born, oh when his father held him he just about disappeared in Mortiki’s red beard, those little hands just loved to tug on it… He is beautiful Sybelle… Really he is… I was hoping to ask you something, and I Thought I might ask later but with all that has happened, I think now is a better time… Something to lighten the mood… I am aware that your parents are a bit of a… Grab bag… And that you have no one to stand in for you at your wedding… I would like, if you would allow me the honor, to stand in the place of your mother? I had always wanted a little girl you see, but fate saw it that I would only have boys, so I hope you will be my daughter instead?”

…Sybelle Anikin...
…It’s never to late to live Happily Ever After….
: she was left pretty slack jawed when she was tossed quite sharply back into her place.. the Elders pretty much telling her to shut it.. that their word was gospel and nothing she had to say held any real weight or promise.. that hurt.. quite a bit.. she had worked so hard to be in the position she was in.. well before and even to this day.. and yet she was being treated as if she were no more than a pawn on a chess board.. she watched Jacob being shot down.. feeling that ache in her heart just grow.. Rose was shackled and taken off.. Aces Father arrived.. everything turned to hell in a matter of a moment.. she caught a glimpse of Rose falling.. hitting her head so horribly upon the marble flooring.. oh god she was about to collapse herself from the sheer panic.. she called to Jacob.. the pair of them trying in vain to get the guards to back off.. nothing worked they were remaining in the way the entire time.. even stopping Jacob from doing his work.. before everything seemed to change.. though she was uncertain as to why.. she had not heard Ace’s acceptance.. the guards soon stepped out.. several of the elders did much the same.. as did those that were there as witness.. soon it was only them.. their group all hovering around Rose.. she felt his hold upon her his hands upon her arms there before he would reach for Aylan.. she would slowly move to stand.. chewing lightly upon her lower lip there.. oh what a mess.. she was an emotional wreck by this stage.. confused.. curious.. saddened.. worried.. fearful.. anxious.. she felt his hand sliding into her own.. their fingers interlacing as he lead her down the dimly lit corridor.. she felt as though she had the weight of the world upon her shoulders.. just what had happened there? Was that normal?.. was that how things were done now?.. she slipped into the small room there with his guidance.. her gaze there after falling upon his Mother.. oh she could smell the floral scent.. it was thick and heavy.. and so very relaxing as it tickled the senses.. she watched between him and his Mother.. listening to the conversations taking place.. there was talk of war.. and of brothers.. that he should not be so concerned with what was happening ..that he would be safe here in Arvandor.. that whatever it was.. was going to happen elsewhere.. she shifted her weight a little when the attention was turned to her.. oh her cheeks coloured.. she curled her toes under in those sweet little shoes of hers.. she couldn’t help the little bit of laughter that spilled forth when she heard the comment of him wearing short pants.. her head remained slightly inclined as she watched Mala there.. noticing how you kept those eyes closed.. reaching your hand out to her.. her own soft and smooth slid into yours as she took that step forward.. she watched when you opened those eyes.. revealing the rainbow coloured irises .. oh they were quite captivating really.. stunning.. just that hauntingly kind of beautiful.. she caught a glimpse of that smile and her own soon mirrored it.. she’d never been in a situation like this before.. so she really wasn’t sure what to expect.. she’d heard stories of the most horrible Mother in Laws that just seemed to enjoy making their new daughter in laws lives a living hell.. her own gaze.. that shared colour of blue and green remained fixed upon yours.. she kind of understood the lack of normality when it came to colour.. though her own weren’t a pinch on yours.. - .. It’s a pleasure to meet you finally.. .. she’d offer in a quiet tone.. watching as Diovan passed over Aylan to his Mother.. she’d release the hold she had there.. enabling you to hold the little boy with both hands if necessary.. - .. We are quite blessed to have him.. .. she would nod a little.. she was so proud of that little boy.. she truly was.. the thought of giving him up that little while ago was long since fleeting.. something she couldn’t even bring herself to even mildly entertain.. she couldn’t be without him.. you made the comment about her parents being a bit of a mixed bag and she screwed up her face a little- .. that’s a nice way of putting it yes.. .. she drew a breath when you mentioned her having no one to stand in for her at the wedding- .. mm.. no.. I don’t really.. I could ask of friends .. in a perfect world.. I would have asked my sister.. but I’m really not so sure what to do in this instance.. it’s a bit of a hard one.. .. she rubbed her lips together.. glancing back toward Diovan there.. her hand reaching back to ask for his.. fingers needing to interlace.. to feel that squeeze.. she blinked though .. it being her first response to the offer on the table.. of you wanting to stand in for her.. in place of her Mother.. that you had always wanted a little girl.. but how fate saw you having boys instead- .. Oh I know what that’s like.. .. she laughed a litte..- .. seems our fates have a similar pattern of thought and delivery.. two boys.. no girls.. .. she shook her head.. her hand rose as she clutched at her dress there.. just above her heart- .. that’s quite an offer.. I uh.. .. she began to chew on the inside of her cheek there- .. I would be.. honoured.. I truly would if you would take it upon yourself to do that for me.. it would mean a lot.. thank you.. really.. and with utmost honesty..thankyou so very much..

...I feel like a part my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything..
..Maybe we’re from the same star..
: .he had it all shot back at him so quickly.. so suddenly.. practially being shoved back down into his place.. being told if he didn’t keep quiet he would be held in the same position as his dear fiancé was.. why was he bein targeted in such a fashion?.. everyone in the room was pretty much on the same even keel at that point.. all manner of words and questions were being raised.. and yet here he was.. being threatened with spending a night in the cells.. it was getting to a point where he couldn’t have given a damn.. not a single one.. but before he even got the chance to utter a single thing in reply Sybelle cried out to him.. his attention having been stretched between the Elders and the newest arrival.. having missed Rose falling so horribly.. enough to cause her to hit her head.. he dashed across the room.. the guards just wouldn’t budge.. not for anything.. they remained fixed.. until something occurred and everyone seemed to disperse really quite quickly.. he dropped to his knees.. there was no time to question what was going on.. he checked on her pulse.. her eyes.. the gash upon her head.. using the blanket from Aylan to try and stop a bit of the bleeding.. to try and stem it at least.. he snapped his fingers around her ears.. waving his hands..calling out to her..- .. Rose, love .. wake up.. open your eyes for me please.. Rose?.... he grew considerably concerned with the change in her puils.. the large and the small.. the thin veil of sweat that was coating her..the fact her cheeks and lips were running a little on the pale side.. he had to be careful.. he couldn’t be entirely sure she hadn’t broken her neck.. or done some real damage to her spine.. the king called for his physician to take over.. the guards coming quickly to their side to slowly and very carefully place her upon the stretcher before he would follow them out.. he would not leave her side.. his attention remaining upon her and no other as they were more or less ported to the Hospital.. there was no time to waste.. he wasn’t going to worry about carriages or horses.. time was of the essence.. the doctors were ordered out of the clean room.. and they left.. though rather begrudgingly.. huffing and throwing their hands up in the air.. the physician just laughed and shook his head as he went to check on Roses vitals.. looking into those eyes.. checking her pulse once again.. the gash upon her head.. feeling down along her shoulders.. her neck..noticing however the trembling of Jacobs hand.. a remark made in passing on wether or not it was psychosomatic .. or was it physical?.. Jacob looked down to his fingers there.. curling them in and out.. to be truthful he wasn’t entirely certain.. he had been told it was more physical than anything else.. he told the physician about the war.. and the illness and how he had woken in a bed with the tremor.. nothing seemed to help it.. the physician offered a little advice.. and perhaps even a lick of hope that if he wanted and it was ok with the King of course.. not going to waste talents on a nobody.. his wrist could be operated on.. to settle it.. there were plenty of drugs on the market but they came with a wide range of side effects including death and blindness .. so surgery would be a better route.. but.. only time would tell as to what was appropriate and what was able to be done.. he nodded.. there was perhaps a glimmer of hope then.. like a small spark deep down within him that made him think that maybe it was possible.. to fix this.. though such thoughts were fleeting.. he had her to worry about.. and he was beyond worried in that moment.. -

: .. he was growing further and further frustrated at how things were going.. when Sybelle and Jacob were shot down he knew something was up.. never would they have EVER been shot down before this.. the pair of them were the most loyal subjects in the entire realm.. and they were being treated like petty thieves .. people that weren’t offered an ounce of respect.. so he was beginning to think something was up.. someone was behind this.. and goddess help him he would figure it all out and rake that fucker over the coals for it.. the moment he barked out his orders everything seemed to cease.. the shackles were released from Rose.. the guards headed out.. the elders soon there after.. fuck he felt ill.. and stuck quite firmly between a rock and a hard place.. he knew.. that the pair of them.. Khorne and Hanali would start to fucking argue in his head soon enough.. and his body along with his psyche would be tugged in both directions.. Rose had fallen.. his Father had turned up.. the guards were placing her lifeless little body onto the stretcher and he was about to lose it.. all of it and quickly.. Jacob and the guards slipped out.. more or less disappearing in a puff of smoke as he figured they’d move to the hospital.. and then there were two.. just him and his Father.. and it was not a situation he wanted to be in.. he reached up to rake his fingers back through his hair there- .. who told you I was here?.... he’d question.. rubbing his lips together before he turned to look to him there.. for the first time since he had arrived.. he was actually going to lay both eyes upon his Father- .. You didn’t need to be here… in fact you Don’t need to be here.. you can just go.. now.. thankyou.. .. he waved him off with a quick gesture of his hand.. before he himself would port to the hospital there..remaining outside the front gates for a time.. dragging down pretty harshly upon a cigarette.. oh it was times like this he missed that opium.. it did wonders for his head.. it made him just forget about it all.. and the idea of that was holding quite a deal of merit by this stage.. he groaned when his Father appeared soon there after.. mentioning something about not letting him out of his sight.. so this was how it was going to be played.. he hufed and dropped the cigarette down.. crushing it under his boot as he made his way back up the steps and into the hospital proper.. coming up to the door there with Rose, Jacob and the physician inside.. he idly watched a moment.. his hands crossing about his chest.. he was clearly anxious about the whole thing.. all of this was how own fucking fault.. every single drop of it.. Fuck he was angry.. and he was doing all he could to just not lash out at the next person that spoke to him.-

: he had nodded to the elders when everything was coming to a close.. it would seem he held enough weight here to get shit done and quickly.. the words and case would be struck from the record.. the guards soon made their exit.. the elders shortly there after.. now he watched the next scene play out with quite an interest.. this young boy fawning all over his sons Fiance.. Sybelle seeming to know who it was before her companion came and lead her away.. the physician was called.. his own guards helped load her up onto the stretcher before they were all ported out of the chamber.. leaving him all alone with his son- .. Ah!.. the million dollar question.. .. he laughed.. that rich deep gravely sound echoed in the temple- .. your soon to be wife of course.. .. he slid a cigarette between his lips.. it just so happened to be laced with opium and that was going to make things all very, very hard for you.. he exhaled.. releasing a thin stream of smoke into the air- .. She sent me word.. maybe a week or two ago.. about an engagement.. and children.. ..he took another drag from the cigarette before he offered you the open silver box for you to take one should you want to- .. I have been looking for you for years..succession rules state you need to be in Silverthorn for your marriage.. Your brother is.. well.. unable to take up the position.. as the King requires an heir.. before suddenly you just ported right out of there.. well that was rude.. he rolled his eyes.. huffed a bit and followed suit.. he was not going to let you out of his sight.. not for a moment.. why there may as well have been a thread connecting the two because that’s how hard he was going to be on your ass until he left- ..so I came when I could.. .. he would walk up to you there.. watching as you huffed about like a fucking child- .. Oh Grow up Ace.. Seriously.. get the fuck over it.. this is your life.. not this fluff and circumstance.. or whtever the fuck this all is.. it’s a joke.. You don’t want to be here.. you don’t want this god forsaken position.. just admit it and come home.. .. he finished the cigarette there before he followed soon after you there up those stairs.. into the hospital proper.. several of the nurses did their cute little curtseys.. a couple of them actually fainted when they laid eye upon him.. and he found it all rather adorably entertaining.. he looked through the glass there at the physician doing his thing.. and the youth in there also- .. she’l be fine.. she’s just hit her head that’s all.. .. he shrugged his shoulders- .. my physician knows what he is doing .. ..his hands came down to rest there upon his hips before he turned.. his back to the glass there- .. I can give you a bit of time here.. to do your thing.. to get sorted.. but within the week we have to be back in Silverthorn.. there is paper work to be drawn up and a wedding to plan.. if you think for one moment you are getting hitched here you’ve got rocks in your head....he nodded- ..

...
: *Diovan had been adorable in his short pants, those adorable shorts that came to the knee, he wore those with high socks and little black boots… Of course, she remembered everything about him and his growing up, he was her world outside of his father. Some women might have seen Sybelle as opposition, another woman to take her little boy away, but she knew that wasn’t the case. She was just gaining a daughter, that was all, nothing was lost… If anything, she even gained more in the form of beautiful, happy grandchildren.*”Oh the pleasure is mine… He talked of you every day growing up, talk of you and your hiding places, the mass murder of thousands of poor little billy buttons… Did he tell you that he saved every one of them? He used to get needle and thread and string them up like streamers, kept them all in a box in his room until Christmas, then he would put them on the tree like popcorn strings…”*She was sure she was embarrassing him but really, what was there to be embarrassed about? She thought it was utterly precious, and it showed a devotion to that little girl, not unlike the devotion she had for his father. She had asked to hold the baby, that sweet little boy, telling her that he was beautiful.*”Oh yes, every baby is a blessing, and this little one is just as precious as starlight. What shocking white hair, yours was much the same growing up, if I recall correctly? It’s grown out quite beautifully since then and such a lovely shade of lavender… I wonder if this little one here will get a lovely color, or if he might perhaps take after his Nana and just stay platinum blond…”*She said, holding him close, oh it had been ages since she had gotten to hold a baby…*”I won’t ask when you might have another, I know how difficult these things can be, instead I will just wish that when it does happen that it is a very smooth time for the both of you.”*She would love an army of grandchildren after all, but she also knew that sometimes people were like her, getting pregnant was easy but keeping them was hard. She had asked if she might step in for her at her wedding in the place of her mother, it was something that she thought might be a source of at least a little relief, a little security.*”Oh it would be my pleasure Sybelle, truly it would, I haven’t been to a wedding since my own… Will the two of you be following tradition, or marrying over the Anvil like his father and I did? It’s a little funny story but his father couldn’t wait to get married, so he hopped atop his horse in that all too dashing kilt and sporran of his, scooped me up as he rode by and off we went. We rode all day until we came to a little temple of Hanali’s way out in the country, bribed the Paramour on hand with a bag of gold, and were married that night. Ten years later on the date, Diovan was born, and his father and I couldn’t have been happier… I am perfectly happy to support you both in what ever choice you make, be it waiting the year, or going about it family tradition wise… Either way, I am just so, so happy to finally see my baby happy… Both of you deserve it so, so much….”

: *That clusterfuck of a trial was the worst thing he had ever seen, people who had worked hard for those elders day and night, putting their lives on hold just to make something happen for them… Were treated like dirt. Now he was used to it, he had committed his sin after all, he had a penance to pay… But Sybelle and Jacob, they had never done anything wrong, they didn’t even litter! When everything came to a head and just exploded, he had taken her out of there, that was something that none of them needed to be around. He had taken her to the room where his mother was, closing the door behind them and trying to shut out the drama, asking about what was going on. She told him in a few words what it was, though as usual much of it was virtually greek to him. He didn’t want the part of him that was his mother, he had asked her when he was very young to take that power from him, and he had lived without it ever since. He was an Elf, through and through, and that was all that mattered. Wars among the gods and their kind meant little and less to him, he only wanted to know what was going on in this mad house place. She said that none of it would wash over into Arvandor, so he was fine, that was all he needed to hear… Sybelle and his mother chatted back and forth, he didn’t interrupt except to hand her Aylan, just happy to watch the two of them talk. Or… He had been… He looked away when she mentioned his short pants, really, he hadn’t worn those since he was seven! Course he wore a kilt for a time too, until the fact that it was a skirt and not exactly the nicest thing to flash your ass at your playmate, at which point kilts were for holidays. She had him suddenly beet red from the neck up, even his ears were a tomato color, his hands over his face.*”Ma! No! Just no! Oh my Gods…”*He sunk down into his seat and pulled his blazer up and over his head, oh, only his mother could do that to him! Oh it got worse when she asked about babies, or rather, not so much asking but alluding to the fact that she would like more. Sure, right on it, single testicular man to the rescue! Bloody hell… It just got worse, he sunk down lower until just the top of his head popped out if his jacket, arms crossed over his chest as he sulked. When she asked about them going tradition, be it Arvandor or Fironiil, he was actually surprised he hadn’t thought of that… He brought his head out of his jacket a little there, looking at his mother, a thoughtful look to his brow.*”I forgot about that… Does Da still have the kilt and sporran with the family crest up in the attic? I don’t think I looked in many boxes, I mostly kept to the ones with my name on them, little Aylan has taken over all my toys and such from when I was little…. But… If Da does have it there…”*He would look at Sybelle then, that goofy, crooked grin on his face with his two misaligned canines.*”Sybelle… If you don’t want to wait a year… If… You want to get married sooner… Would you let me kidnap you and marry you over the Anvil, Fironiil tradition?”

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
: *She bit the dirt… She had never fainted before, she didn’t even know such a thing could happen to her, so when it all came on her at once there was no way of telling what it was. With her hands cuffed behind her she couldn’t toss her arms out to catch her of break her fall, it was just a sudden collapse and one of those, hello floor! Much of everything passed by her, once she sunk down she was gone, just totally blacked out… Inside her own head was another matter entirely… Thoughts whirled about dark and stormy in her head, terror and fear of the dark were chasing her through the fig of her mind, a deep constant throbbing just made her want to curl up and wish it all away. The bleeding was slowing with the pressure Jacob was using there against the wound, and she had lost about a pint so enough to make her woozy but not enough to have put her in danger. If she could have heard Jacob calling her, she would have answered him, she would have done anything to do so. Instead she was locked up in a box, someone or something was chasing her, the black goo of her mind pulling at her feet and making each step seem like a bad slow motion horror reel. She was in shock and concussed, but other than that, there seemed to be no issues. She was lifted up onto that stretcher and virtually ported over to that hospital and really, if she had known she would have thrown a bloody fit, she had enough of hospitals! Weird things ALWAYS happened to her in places like this! AS the physician would look her over, his probably first shock would have been the fact that her bones were shaved down quite thin, over them were a very rare, very strong metal plating so pure it held .000000000001 impurities … It made her incredibly light, easy to carry about for instance, but still able to take a beating and not break… It was that same fact that kept her from having a cracked skull, the metal had taken the brunt of the vibrations on impact, spreading them about and dispersing it. Of course, that was also what caused the concussion, that over all vibration along her brain combined with the sudden impact had made her go goofy. There was a slight swelling of the brain, all very common with the injury, and if possible some anti-inflamitory medication or magic could be used… It would take about ten minutes if any were used, to reduce the swelling enough for regular eye motor functions to resume, the pupils dilating and contracting as they were meant to. Aside from that, there was no cracks or swelling, no displaces vertebrae. If such a medication was administered, and the proper time had elapsed, they might see a twitch of her hand… A flickering movement of her fingers… Silence… Then a low, quiet moan of just sheer pain as she was released from the box inside her mind and settled once more into her body, feeling everything that the fall had caused… Bruises on her ribs and shoulders, her jaw took a crack and was swollen, her head around the gash sported a goose egg so big the Easter bunny was taking bids. Another slow whimper, her brows furrowing in, only to make her whine all over again as it tugged on the gash and lump. Oh she hated pain… Well… Pain like this… She would push her leg down at the bedding, as if she were trying to roll over perhaps, or maybe get up? Either way it was a reflex to try and escape the pain.*

ᶲI Loved Her Not For The Way She Danced With My Angelsᶲ
°But For The Way The Sound Of Her Name Could Silence My Demons°
°°°
- Is In Story Teller Mode - says to ALL: -The Doctors had all been shoed from the room, the Nurses in something of a hormonal tizzy would be the best way to put it, all manner of spoiled for choice with the eye candy around them. While the physician worked and talked with Jacob, a nurse had come in with a blood bag for Rose, hooking up the IV for her since it had been said she had lost a bit of blood in the fall. A bit of blood was drawn just to make sure nothing was wrong there to have caused the fall in the first place, and that was it, the nurse would leave with a bit of a flirtatious smile to the King there. She knew better than to try it with Ace, he had shot her down twice, and no one liked eating vinegar pie like that.-
-A set Amount Of Time Later-
-A Doctor would come up to Aces side for a moment, begging a private word, waiting till it was given before he would ask a few rather… Delicate questions.- “Uhm… Mr. Koehler… Were you aware that Miss MacDonald was pregnant?..” –He would ask and wait a few moments for the reply before he would open the file there in his hands, pointing out certain spikes in the bloodwork and such.- “You see… Here and Here?... Those are things we only find in pregnant women…. But you see these here?” –The man would point out to lower spikes on the same chart.- “These should be much higher than they are… I think that… The reason she fainted is because… Well… She’s had a miscarriage… If not today then quite recently…” –He would say, closing the folder after a moment.- “I am terribly sorry for your loss, but this is quite common in new mothers, their bodies aren’t ready for the new child… It is nothing you or she did, it was simply how it was meant to be, and given a bit of time she won’t have any problem having another child… Again, I am sorry, and if you would please excuse me?” –The Doctor would say before leaving, chart left on the table beside Ace, a bit forgetful as perhaps the good Doctor wanted to leave before someone broke his nose… Wouldn’t have been the first time sadly…*

…It’s never to late to live Happily Ever After….
: ..she was calming considerably being in his Mothers presence.. it was helping.. she was allowing herself to just be in this moment.. to let the rest of what had occurred that morning be pushed back to where it needed to be.. this is where she Wanted to be right now.. with her future husband, their son and his Mother.. and she was such a beautiful person.. inside and out from what she could see and feel.. the general vibe from Mala was a good one.. she tilted her head a little when she went on to speak about him.. her hand rose as she pressed it to her mouth when she mentioned the mass murder of all those flowers.. she laughed a little.. turning to glance back to him.. watching as he was going redder than a tomato.. oh she was amused.. and it showed by the way the corners of her lips were twitching.. her eyes were sparkling with mirth her brows furrowed though when he spoke about saving every one she had pulled.. that he got a little bit crafty stringing those buds up like streamers.. keeping them until christmas time where he would put them upon the tree- .. Ah!.. no he didn’t.. .. she looked back to him once again.. only this time catching him as he was pulling his jacket up over his head.. her grin only widened.. she laughed a little more.. - ..Oh no I didn’t know he was so crafty.. when we have time.. I think we should talk more on these things.. I am quite eager to learn indeed.... oh she was going to bug him about this.. and he had to have known by the cheeky looks she was giving him whilst she chewed on the corner of her lip.. they went on to talk about Aylan and how he was such a blessing.. she complimented him on his white hair.. that it was much the same as hers when she was little- .. yes, you’re right.. though I think he will probably have more than I did.. .. she smiled and nodded.. watching as Mala held Aylan close.. cuddling into the child.. it was just lovely to see really..she couldn’t remember a great deal about her own Mother.. or Mothers as the case might have been.. a lot of it was locked away.. pushed.. or just gone.. (since Sydel captured each and everyone of those memories to stop this side from being so jaded and saddened).. but she enjoyed this.. she really did.. she could feel the love there.. they spoke a little about having another.. she began to lightly chew on the inside of her cheek.. nodding her head- .. thank you.. I’m not entirely certain what our future holds in that regard.. we will just play it by ear and see what happens.. .. Mala had asked of her if she desired her to be a stand in for her Mother during the wedding and she had accepted.. thinking it was wonderful.. and it truly was.. she was honoured.. completely and utterly so.. she listened to the story though.. of what had happened with her and his Father.. of kilts and sporrans.. of a horse and a kidnapping.. a wedding over the anvil in a far away place.. that it was a Fironiil tradition.. she turned.. glancing over her shoulder when he spoke up .. asking about the kilt.. wether or not it was still up in the attic.. well now that certainly brought up an interesting image of him in a kilt..one she didn’t expect to see coming forth.. causing her cheeks to colour just a touch.. before he took her a little by surprise with the question.. she blinked.. looking to him properly as she dragged herself out of that little dream sequence.. seeing that goofy slightly crooked grin that she just adored.. her fingers had curled around his.. interlacing a little further to give a squeeze- ..You can kidnap me anytime.. .. her thumbs lightly brushed against the sides of his hand there- .. I certainly wouldn’t want to be the one to put a halt to your families traditions .... offering him a smile there-

: .. he remained there at her side whilst the physician checked her over.. taking a hold of her hand there.. his fingers curled around it.. holding it.. rubbing it lightly.. he didn’t know the physician was doing a scan or he would have maybe alerted the man to the information he would have gotten back from it.. he recalled all to well what it was like to be getting that back.. it was always quite a shock at first.. he leant in a little.. brushing his lips to her forehead as he slipped out of the room.. allowing her to be there just for a moment.. to let the physician and the nurses do their thing.. he noted they had taken blood and hooked her up to an IV to replenish what she had lost.. he had stepped out into the corridor there.. letting the door come closed behind him.. his attention shifting between Ace and his Father.. nodding his head to Tirithon.. really not being quite so sure what to do in that regard.. he’d never been in the presence of royalty before.. especially not one quite as well known as he was.. it was making him feel perhaps a little uncomfortable.. he decided to keep his duo coloured gaze there upon Ace.. - .. she should be ok.. she’s just unconscious..her heart, her pulse is fine.. stabilized .. the colour had returned to her face.. .. he turned to look to Tirithon there.. drawing a breath- .. thank you.. for offering up your physiciain.. he’s extremely skilled.. it’s rather impressive to be in the presence of someone so well trained.. thank you again.. it means a lot.. .. he nodded.. feeling a little bit like the third wheel there.. really unsure if he should perhaps just turn and walk back into the clean room or.. remain out here and just see what happened- .. Everything is sorted then?.. back.. .. he exhaled.. this was awkward- .. I missed the end of the commotion back there.. I was a bit.. fired up over her.. but you’re here.. so.. that has to be a good thing right?.... he rubbed his cheek a little.. -

: .. he could have been knocked over with a feather when he found out that Rose was the cause of his Father being there.. that she had sent word to him about the engagement.. it just made him want the earth below him to open up and swallow him whole.. she didn’t know.. she couldn’t have known this would happen.. and yet now it was all over Arvandor.. everyone knew who he was.. and his lineage.. how he was not just Ace.. he was a prince.. and up and coming King once his Father had passed on or was seen to be not fit to continue in the role.. fuck things were becoming complicated.. he had arrived back at the hospital.. listening to his father talk about the rules of succession- .. And what if I don’t want it?.. what if I refuse?.... he snapped.. forcing his breath through his teeth.. he knew about his brother.. he’d known since a very young age that his brother batted for the other team.. which made things irritating.. surely his brother could go marry some woman and be done with it.. he could be king and just have lovers on the side?.. he didn’t want to live in Silverthorn.. he’d done so almost his entire younger life.. he had moved inside.. down the corridor.. ignoring the nurses that seemed to fawn all over his Father.. rolling his eyes at the ones that collapsed on sight.. - .. A Week?.. are you kidding me?.... his hand rose.. sliding back around to rub against the back of his neck.. - .. a week.. that’s insane.. no.. I won’t do it.. Im not going anywhere within a week.. I have enough crap to sort through here first.. .. Jacob came out then.. into the corridor and he moved to push away from the window he was resting against.. he nodded hearing that Rose was going to be ok.. that she was just concussed .. and that the physician was doing an extremely good job..- .. Good, thank you Jacob.. .. he rubbed his hands across his face there.. leaning back against the glass as he heard Jacobs questions about the trial.. and about how if he was there.. well that had to mean something- .. I suppose so.. .. he shrugged his shoulders- .. don’t really want to get into it right now.. .. he glanced between Jacob and his Father there.. knowing full well this was going to come up sooner or later- .. Jacob this is my Father Tirithon.. Oh.. excuse me.. of course.. King Tirithon Koehler from Silverthorn.. he has come to.. make sure I go home for the holidays.. .. he groaned a little.. shaking his head.. he knew the question was coming and he kept his eyes upon Jacob whilst the introductions came through.. hoping the kid would pick up on things quick enough to not let this all explode into a mass of questions that really none of them wanted to bother with.. a little time had passed there.. Jacob had headed back inside the clean room to tend to the slowly waking Rose whilst the doctor had approached him.. the chart there.. offering the delicate information about the miscarriage.. oh his heart sank.. all the way to his feet.. he swallowed and nodded.. offering a quiet thank you to the Doctor before he was gone..glancing toward his Father there for a moment before he picked up the chart.. holding it there in his hands before he looked down upon it.. he knew his Father was going to say something.. so he held his hand up- .. Don’t even bother..

…-she was the only pure thing in my life and in my life I neglected her-…
: .. his attention shifted between the physician, the young lad.. Rose and his son.. there was a lot going on around him.. though he also kind of glanced toward the nurses too.. just little winks.. the corners of his lips curling into only the most suave of smiles.. - .. No choice there im afraid.. and don’t deny it.. You have been waiting for this your entire life.. I know it.. You know it Ace.. so suck it up and deal with it.. its happening wether you like it or not.. what do you want to do?.. stay here in Hicksville elftown where you’re going to be constantly treated like dirt.. scrambling to get anywhere.. OR bringing your lovely new eife.. your children.. having whatever it is you wanted.. there at your feet when you wanted it.. and not to forget the ready made supply of Mistresses and helpers.. all there for you.. You will have a city to run sure.. but you pay people for that.. You’l be behind some of the greatest wars and accomplishments.. and people will love you and hate you for it.. and yet.. you’l be on top of it all. Get used to it, its in your future you can’t escape it. .. his arms rose to cross there about his chest.. they discussed the week.. he rubbed his chin a little.. thoughtfully- .. well I could maybe stay a little longer.. maybe.. .. the place had potential.. especially when it came to the women.. and he knew he could pretty much have his pick here.. plus he needed to catch up with these grandchildren.. cement his place in the hierarchy here.. make sure the trade routes were sorted- .. 2 weeks then.. that’s my final offer.. deny me this and ill make it a couple of days.. Ill drag you back home myself and put you in a fucking cell.. .. he wasn’t kidding.. there was no mirth or joke about it.. Jacob appeared then.. stepping out into the corridor.. he nodded when he was told the physician was doing well.. and was so well trained- .. He’s the best, I wont settle for any less than that, she’s going to be fine.. she’s just hit her head that’s all.. .. he nodded his head.. looking to this young man.. noticing the flaw in the eyes.. Ahhhh.. Anikin blood.. a relation.. perhaps Sybelles son.. he was well dressed and very well mannered.. but he was still so very curious as to this ones position.. - .. Nice to meet you Jacob.. .. he tilted his head.. smacking his lips together- .. Enlighten me son.. just who are you to this.. Rose then?.. .. he would wait for an answer.. before allowing the boy to dash back in once the woman appeared to be waking from her concussion.. the doctor appeared soon after.. delivering news that was not so nice.. his ears were insanely sharp.. he picked up on it easily.. his breath drawn to talk.. to offer a little advice before he was shut down with a hand held up to his face.. he pushed the hand to the side with a swipe of his- .. There will be others.. expect this to happen.. then it wont come as such a shock when it does.. .. he nodded.. having gone through this copious amounts of times with Aces Mother.. - .. I am going to need somewhere to stay whilst I am here.. the Inns and Taverns.. are not even close to being suitable.. I trust you have somewhere I will be.. comfortable?

Dr. Jacob Anikin
...I feel like a part my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything..
..Maybe we’re from the same star..
: . he had slipped out into the corridor there to speak with Ace and his father for just a moment.. thanking the father for the use of the physician, the extremely talented soul seeming to know just what to do so he knew she was in safe hands.. they had gone over the trial in short.. he didn’t want to press to much.. or even at all if he could avoid it.. he could see Ace was really not in the frame of mind to be going any further into it so he left it where it was.. there was an introduction there.. a little informal perhaps but it was something none the less.. he nodded.. reaching over to shake his Fathers hand only to withdraw when he noticed such a greeting was not extended.. his hand fell down into his pocket there.. the question though.. oh that set him back on his boot heels a moment.. his brows furrowed and his gaze shifted to fall upon Ace who was a step maybe two behind his Father.. oh he caught the look.. he also knew that the physician had said.. if he wanted assistance he had to be in the right ‘position’ for it.. he knew the idea of a polyandry marriage would not gel in this kind of setting.. not at all.. he reached up.. tugging on the side of his shirt collar a little..- .. lover.. .. he nodded.. it wasn’t to much of a lie really.. they were lovers.. they were also a lot more than that.. but for the time being.. this seemed the best approach- .. someone to offer assistance in that area when your son is away.. .. he lingered there a moment longer.. feeling all kinds of uncomfortable and really not wanting to have anymore of those thrown at him so he excused himself and returned to Rose’s side.. oh his cheeks were just a little more than red..he caught a glimpse of her fingers shifting then and he reached for her hand- .. Rose.. ? Rose honey?.... he would call to her quietly.. the physician seemed a little spooked.. and he could totally relate to that he knew exactly what was going through the mans head but he couldn’t bring it up right now.. his heart hurt when he heard her groan.. watching her brows furrowing.. figuring she was in pain.. his free hand reached across to lightly brush over her forehead.. trying to sooth her with a little magical energy.. a little numbing to try and take the sharp edge off it at least.. but when she went to move he stood and held her a little more tightly- .. Rose love.. its okay.. I’m here with you.. .. he’d speak a little louder- . you’re safe.. I promise.. completely so.. we are looking after you.. it’s me and a physician from Aces father.. Its ok.. please try and relax.. I don’t want you to hurt yourself

˳ͼWe Often Meet Our Fate On The Road We Travle To Avid Itͽ˳
...
: *She would have been terribly flattered if Sybelle had said any of that out loud, and though it was far too easy to peek behind the mental veil, it wasn’t Quite the motherly thing to do. Instead she just shared a little story, one that pertaining to the two before her, a little bit of their history that she had been around in part for… She saw her poor little baby just going so many shades of red, but what did he expect, this was the first time she got to do such a thing. Of Course she was going to make sure to exploit every little moment she could!*”Oh he did! He gets his crafty nature from his father, I’m afraid I am utterly useless as anything other than decoration, his father used to lovingly say I was the only person he knew who could burn water. I will gladly tell you any story about him you would like to hear, we should do it some time soon indeed, perhaps one day I will tell you about the time I caught him practicing kissing…”*Bless him, that had been a day she had gone in to call him to dinner, only to back out and call his father. That had been so very far out of her realm of understanding! Strictly a father son moment without a doubt. She was in utter love with the little boy though, he was such sweet thing, so quiet and alert without being fussy. How could she resist cuddling up with such an angel?*”Oh? You mean your short hair as a child? I thought that was a choice, I had no idea your hair wouldn’t grow, oh that must have driven you batty… Though imagine if his stays short, you won’t ever have to try and pin him down for a hair cut, and if I might say so myself, little boys are terribly fast! Oh Diovan HATED getting his hair cut, so for a while we let him grow it out, but then people started to say we had a beautiful daughter rather than a son and well, you know how that was. Oh he ran and ran and ran all over that house! It took me a half hour before I finally caught him and hand him sitting down so his father could cut his hair. I won’t even BEGIN to get in on the bath time, for some reason he had this habit where… Oh… Well I won’t go into that…”*She would say with a smile, knowing that her poor boy was going to just melt into that seat if he could, but she also knew that it was bringing them closer too. She spoke about children and that she wished them well in regards for that, after all, she knew how hard it could be. She smiled and nodded her head.*”Oh naturally dear heart, anything can happen, you could have only this sweet little bean or a bakers dozen… I wish you the best regardless, so long as you both are happy, then that is all that matters!”*The question was asked about the wedding, if they were going to follow Arvandor Tradition, or if they would go at it Fironiil style… Her son asked about the kilt and she nodded her head, a bright happy smile on her face because he was asking, thinking it might be time to pass on that torch… Surely his father was there on the Farshore bursting with pride and love for his son…*”Oh it is up in my hope chest, the cedar one that I got for my wedding, in fact I believe your fathers entire Regalia is there along with my wedding dress…”*She would say, a bright happy smile on her face as her son asked if his sweetheart wanted to follow tradition, and hearing her yes… Oh what a day! She tapped her feet on the ground in joy, unable to clap due to having a rather sweet bundle in her arms, her smile just bright as sunshine.*”Oh… Diovan! Go home, go on and get into the chest and get dressed! You know how long it takes to wrap a kilt and the sporran, take it all with you and hide out, you know the rules! I will take your lovely bride to be with me and get her ready, and you can swoop in and take her with you, just make sure to have that bag of gold Diovan! A good wife doesn’t come cheaply!”

says to .°.a sky full of stars.°: *His mother was trying to kill him… She was literally trying to see if it were possible to kill a person from embarrassment… And his beloved, his sweetheart, the woman who was supposed to do him right… Was giggling silently at him! He had begged his mother to stop, to give it up, but she seemed to just press on! Sybelle was even encouraging her! He just melted into his jacket, into that seat there, wishing he was anywhere but in the room. Now… He THOUGHT that she was just going to end it with the billy button story, that was embarrassing enough as it was after all… But nope… No such luck… As if that wasn’t bad enough, it just got WORSE. She started to tell Sybelle about the time when his mother had walked in on him practicing kissing and he held up both hands in a time out sign.*”Ooooooh no! No no no no no! NOOOO! NOT Going to happen! Good Gods Ma can’t you forget anything like a normal person? Or, say, pretend you can?! Geeze…!”*His hands pressed to his face there, oh he remembered that day ALL too vividly! He was hitting that age were a girl who is your friend… Is… Well… More than a friend… He was just coming into his hormones too, and he was curious about the female form, and Sybelle well… She swam naked… He went home and sat down with his pillow that he had drawn her face on, putting a mop of lavender yarn on the top, and just… Well… Tried to learn to kiss with his pillow. His mother had walked in which had him suddenly deer in the headlights, watching her back out and go to get his father, which in a way terrified him. He thought he had done something bad! Instead, he got… The Talk… About what goes where, and what happens when what goes where, good and bad both… So… Yeah… He knew about coitus… and the risk of pregnancy… and the pain for a girl the first time and how to be delicate… His father taught him to always put the woman first, because without a woman there would be no man, and such a powerful yet delicate creature deserved respect and protection. Of course… All he wanted to do was kiss her… That of course, a few weeks later, led to the uh… Other bit… But once he figured out what it did and that the whole spitting was normal, well… Boys wil be boys… His mom went on about his hair issue, the truth of it was more like Sybelle had said she liked boys with long hair, so she had grown his out for her… He had ran like a devil to keep them from cutting it, but in the end his mother pinned him and sat him in her lap while his father cut all those long black locks off, tears just streaming. She REALLY did bad when she brought up the bath tub bit, getting him to stand up, pull his jacket down and head for the door.*”Ok, that’s it you two, you win!”*He would start before his mother would drop it off, taking instead bou the wedding tradition, causing him to ask Sybelle… When she replied though… Oh he reached down into that chair and picked her clean up out of it, laying a kiss on her beautiful lips, his arms wrapping around her tight. His mother told him to get a move on, to get the kilt and a bag of gold, to go and get ready… If Sybelle was ok… If she wanted to do this now… Then he was ALL over it! He would pop out the door in a flash and good luck catching him, Hanali gave wings to his feet and he was out of there, making his way home to get his fathers wedding regalia out… He had a woman who had been his greatest love for over fourty years and she was finally going to be his… If he was able to catch her…, But that was all part of the game!*

♥Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered♥
: *She was starting to come around, or at least be a little less like a coma patient and more like a living being, though living right now was hurting like all get out. The nightmares inside her head were bad… But the pain right now was worse, making her groan, wondering what in the seven levels of sam had happened to her. She felt like she got ran over…. She felt like she got sat on by a REALLY fat person… No… No more like someone le a mule kick her a few times about the head and chest… Yeah… That was a bit more apt… She felt each and every pulse in her body, each and every throb and beat was like someone took a hammer and just, just beat the crap out of her head with it. She wanted to beg someone to take the pain away but all she got out was a soft whimper, a bit of a flicker of her fingers… She was trying to swim back down into the oblivion of her dreams, even if they were scary, at least they didn’t hurt… Instead though she just kept getting pulled closed and closer to the surface, forced to feel it all, and she was just tired enough to be a big fat baby about it. She thought she could hear Jacob, her eyes shifting, moving behind her lids as she struggled to open them… Things were suddenly made out of lead or some other heavy material… When she couldn’t get them open, she parted her lips instead, her voice a little rough but still sweet sounding.*”J….acob?...”*She would whisper, trying to move, feeling someone trying to pin her a bit… Oh she hated that… The gentle magic though… Oh that was nice… Jacob’s magic always came through to her like a soft green light, with hints of blue and gold to it, and it smelled of mint and tasted like chocolate… His magic was…. Beautiful… She stopped moving about, her hands moving slowly, heavily to her waist… Oh was she made of lead or just what was going on?!*”Ja….cob… Wha….t….. Ha….appened? Hurts…”*She would say, struggling, giving it all she got to get her eyes open, though when she did everything was still bluured… Like looking through really foggy glasses. She looked around her, to the man she didn’t know from a bar of soap, over to Jacob above her. She looked at the room around them and knew it was a hospital, her lips turning down even with the bruised jaw.*”I…. Hate…. Hospitals…. Can… I please…. Go Home?”
