Seven years could change someone a great deal. When Ruby thought back on it, she realized she had changed some, but perhaps not as much as she thought. And if he didn't think so... "I hope you say that as a good thing, my prince," Ruby said while she watched the line of people bringing their...

Ruby looked back to Conrad, saying, "That sounds...absolutely awful." She took a sip of her wine with a small smile playing on her lips. "But I guess you never were one for being practical. It's good to see you haven't changed, my prince."

Sapphire purposely kept her gaze off of the king, anger bubbling until it became increasingly difficult to not say anything. But kept quiet she did, like a good queen should. Now wasn't the time for a battle. Adrian giggled and squeezed onto the pup until all that could be seen was a furiously...

I hope everything will be fine with your mom. That's important. Keep us updated. Also wanted to say that I'm still here. I just haven't posted because there's so much going on right now with everyone asking questions that I decided to sit back and chill until a good opportunity presents itself...

Helen stopped and stared at Ket incredulously. "Of course there will be men," she said. "That's what makes it fun." She continued on as she pulled Ket closer and closer to the door. "How old are you now? Thirty years? Forty years? Eighty years? Honestly Ket, wait much longer and your face will...

Sapphire watched the exchange between father and son like a hawk. It was disheartening, sometimes even maddening, that Bohden was Adrian's father. The man had a certain claim on the child all because of one brief moment in time during one night. It wasn't right; it wasn't right at all. "He...

^_^ I like it! I would love to be able to draw pictures of my own.

Bohden's voice stirred an anger in Sapphire. He was purposely trying to take her son away from her, probably because he knew it was the only thing that made her happy. However, she was pleased to see Adrian hesitate and look to her as though wanting approval first. The child was smart. He knew...

Ruby had chosen a spot in the back of the room near a pillar where she could observe almost everything. She quietly took a sip of wine while watching the king give his speech over the rim, noting how fake his words were, almost as fake as the smile her sister wore on her face. It was hardly...

Sapphire kept her gaze straight ahead as the herald disappeared behind the curtain and they took their places to wait until the introduction. In their first years of marriage she had purposely averted her eyes from Bohden whenever it wasn't outright necessary, but now, twelve years later, it was...

Silence was golden in certain circumstances, and this was one of them. Sapphire said nothing as they ambled down the long passage which would lead them through the back and out onto a terrace overlooking the grand room with their thrones. Once there they wouldn't need to be in such close...

Sapphire cast one last look in the mirror before turning her attention onto Bohden and holding out her hand. "Then let's greet them," she said. For the moment the queen might have appeared bored or indifferent to the celebration, but in actuality she was excited for it. The only part of it she...

Sapphire purposely waited until Bohden was in the room behind her and had spoken before she turned and looked at him. After a quick glance, she said as dutifully as he had without a smile, "Thank you. You look handsome tonight yourself, Bohden." She then gathered her skirts and wandered over to...

Sapphire smoothed her hands down her dress as she listened to the voices behind her. "My king," she heard Hellen say, "the queen is...readying herself now." "You may enter!" Sapphire called out a little annoyingly. He always had to get her handmaids all flustered when he could simply walk in...

Sapphire surveyed herself for the hundredth time in the mirror. Everything was perfectly placed. The gown that had been specially created was ruby red in color and hung off the shoulders in a low-cut bodice and flowing sleeves with gold etchings on the train. She insisted she leave most of her...

Some Days Later: City of Kalden Sometime during the day Ruby must have passed out on her desk without realizing it, for one moment she was writing a rather long letter to Colonel Brask and the next moment she was being wakened by a servant girl rushing into her room. “Lady Driscol,” the girl...

Edmund had thought once questions were answered it would relieve him, but in fact it did the opposite and left uncertainty in his gut. They had lost one of them, much to the disapproval of their overseers, and Edmund wasn't too inclined to believe the promise of no harm befalling them. Even...

Edmund was doing what he found to be quite normal for him, stood back quietly and watched as his mind attempted to make sense of what was going on. Too many questions, not enough answers, he thought bitterly. But unlike the large man known as Martin, Edmund wouldn't give in to emotional...

After the flash of light from the window, Edmund found himself stiff and shaking. There had been images of people, people he couldn't quite remember but people whose presence left him cold and seething in rage. Then he'd seen a rope hanging over a lake, a street in some small city, a hound...

Just wanted to let everyone know Firefall is back and has taken over his original character, Solaru. It's really good to have you here again :) Also, I've finished my last post. If everyone is done for now, I'll go ahead and skip to the anniversary celebration.
