8 Making Enemies
The city of Draxis, inside the Royal Castle.
A Boy named Oren was currently walking through a large corridor. Following closely behind him was a large green serpent named Emera. They were headed to the main hall of an enormous castle,
"I know, I know, you wanna Eat," Oren was laughing speaking to Emera, she had been joking about food the entire time they were travelling down the hallway. Oren knew since Emera was a beast she could go a long time without eating, but still beasts would eat at every opportunity, so Oren also understanding her dislike for humans knew She wanted nothing from these people but food, however, She didn't dislike Her room.
As long as they feed me I will not eat them hahaha.... Emera laughed Evily.
Oren couldn't help but give a little chuckle, Oren knew Emera was jesting, but She had probably eaten people before.
"Emera no eating people, I'll make sure they feed you," Oren spoke firmly but couldn't hold a straight face. Emera just laughed "Am I supposed to listen to you child...Hahahahaa... Im over 200 yrs old hahaha...
Oren didn't reprimand Her, He knew she would listen to him If they had developed a sort of pet owner bond, but it was more like a partnership where neither one was leader over the other, they were a team. They continued on until they Emerged into the main hall, Oren was stilled shocked when he saw the luxurious room decorated with statues. It was full of people just moving about, maids merchants it was like a small town suddenly popped up in this room, and the people were all dressed fancily. Oren was also dressed well, being that he changed out of the rags he was in, before he took a much needed very long shower. He was now a handsome young boy without the 5 years of forest on his face, although his hair was still wild, it was clean.
"Oren!" A girls voice called out.
He turned towards the person yelling his name. Of course He knew who this person was before He saw Her. It was the Princess Esholyn...upon seeing her Oren was stunned, She looked beautiful, she truly looked like a princess. She was in a gorgeous royal dress, decorated with beautiful jewels.
Her Snow white hair fell elegantly down her shoulders.
The strange thing is, she was slightly glowing! A light blue aura was radiating from her skin. In the center of her forehead you could see the small green diamond centered in Her forehead, no longer covered by the hood she was wearing in the forest. She had two guards one on each side of her, they were rather young maybe about 5 to 10 years older than Oren. They had swords, but their armor wasn't too heavy, it was light armor made for agility instead of guarding, this type of armor was usually used by swifter warriors, or younger warriors in training.
Esholyn seeing how Oren was looking at her couldnt help but blush, as she flagged him over.
The knight to her left noticed this saying, "aye Harve looks like you got some competition huh,"
"Ha whatever Johnny boy, as long as you know it isn't you, hahaha..." The guard on Her right responded with a laugh, He seemed a little menacing.
As Oren walked up He noticed the left guard named Johnny, looked similar to the guard they saw on the pathway to the castle.
The right guard called Harve looked at Oren saying, "so this is the runt Esholyn was talking about huh', well ill tell you now kid don't even think of being with Esholyn, I am the only one for Her, and you best not try to get in my way."
Oren couldnt help but smirk saying, "oh so you don't know, Me and Esholyn are already together, so you best not get in our way.
Esholyn, who wanted to curse this guy named Harve, didn't even have a chance to speak, before Oren had said these words, She was caught off guard blushing a deep red.
Why you little!.... Harve stepped towards Oren, but stopped short, seemingly just now noticing Emera, who raised her head from behind Oren, she was now standing with half of her massive nearly 14 ft body lifted off the ground, dwarfing the four youngsters. They two guards were scared silly, they quickly reached for their swords.
....Swoosh.. Oren acted, In the blink of an eye both boys were disarmed, Oren smirked, while standing off to the side holding both swords in his hand. The two of them just stared, no doubt even more terrified.
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.... The guard named Johnny was the first to recover, "Hey kid you got some skill huh,.. yet you are so young" He spoke admiringly. "Say.. you should join the princess's guard, Im positive you would do well in the initial test, and I'm sure not gonna challenge your acceptance."
Esholyn couldnt help but blush again, although She didn't speak.
Heck no....! The guard name Harve yelled, "you seen this little punk use some stupid trick, and now you are afraid of Him, even willing to invite him to our guard...You truly are a chump, that beasts aura is wasted in your father." Harvey was angry." He looked from johnny to Oren, "punk if you even think about joining Esholyns guard, I'll personally run you through."
"SHUT UP Harvey!".... I shall choose whom I want for MY Guard, Esholy yelled, her face full of frustration. "Now Oren come on we have to meet with mother," Esholyns voice suddenly changed when she addressed Oren, unmistakably on purpose to anger Harve even further.
Harve however didn't respond to her, he wouldn't dare to make enemies with esholyn, after all he personally created her guard in order to woo her. Johnny who also was inline to be a suitor to her when she came of age, was good friends with Harve, and thus also joined her guard. He however didn't take marrying Esholyn as serious as Harve.
Oren didn't respond with words instead, He ran up to Esholyn grabbing her hand casually, as if, they really were together. Esholyn reacted as if she was aware of the plan, and smoothly accepted Orens hand as they walked side by side, ahead of the two guards.
Oren taking it one step further, called Emera forward and As soon as she got near he leapt on her back, pulling Esholyn atop with him, seating her in front of him with both feet to one side. Esholyn was kind of startled, but being with Oren She felt safe, and She allowed Emera to carry Her.
As Oren held Her steady they moved towards the Queens throne room,
The two guards Johnny and Harvey, were just watching as Emera pulled away, Johnny was actually enjoying watching Oren be a thorn in Hareveys' side.
However Harvey was furious! He was starting to think of a way to get rid of Oren.
Oren along with Esholyn however, had been passed them, finally reaching their destination. They stopped in a massive room. There were at least ten huge tables with at least 30 people each sitting in front of them, there where large platters hundreds of them all across the tables. At the end of the room, the queen was sitting in a beautifully adorned throne chair. She looked truly majestic Her Royal dress was even more beautiful than Esholyns, Her oil black hair flowed delicately down her breast. In Her hand She held a silver scepter that held a shining white orb.
As soon as Oren and Esholyn entered the room, the queen noticed the way they were riding Emera and Oren holding was holding Esholns waist. Although Oren was in no way being out of place, He was just making sure She didnt fall off of emeras back. The Queen didn't make a scene, but as soon as Esholyn made eye contact with Her mother she hopped down from Emeras back, swiftly walking towards the throne sitting down next to the Queen in a smaller version if her mothers chair.
Everyone quickly stood up upon seeing Esholyn sit down, the Queen spoke loudly and clearly, using magic to amplify her voice.
"Everyone, I thank you for coming out on such short notice. I would like to introduce you to Oren, the serpent He is riding on is named Emera, He will be staying in the castle for quite sometime.
Everyone I would like you to get to know him, please do not offend him, treat him as you would do my own child."
When the Queen said these words everyone confusedly looked around but no one spoke, instead most of them slightly bowed towards Oren.
"Everyone please get acquainted, The banquet will begin when Oren takes a seat,"
As the Queen finished speaking she pointed to a second chair that looked like Esholyns, although this one looked more boyish so to speak, it had more sharp angles than Esholyns and Her mothers' chairs, which had a more delicate curve design. Oren, with Emera slithering behind him went and sat down it the chair. He was seated between the two of them.
When the people saw this they all started to murmur and speak in low shocked whispers, keeping sure to keep their voices down, but they couldn't control their eyes. Oren noticed that alot of them kept looking in an empty space next to the Queens throne, but what's weird is, He saw that when they looked at that area, their eyes grew either saddened or angry, some of them even teared up.
He couldn't Help but think, is there a King, Then he realized no one has spoken of Esholyn having a dad, or there being a King beside her Mother. He then thought of his own situation and figured not to speak on the theirs.
When the Queen noticed Oren sitting there noticeably stuck in thought, She spoke out to Him softly so that only He and Esholyn could hear, "You are not they only one who knows the pain of losing someone Oren." When the Queen spoke those last words, Oren could see a deep sadness in her eyes
However She immediately regained Her composure, and started speaking brightly,
"Oh I almost forgot, Esholyn take Oren to the field where we keep the livestock."
She turned to Oren still speaking, "Oren have Emera pick out a food bred beast, or two,
and I will have them delivered to her designated nature zone.
"Okay no problem, thank you, she's been complaining about food all day," Oren said laughing playfully. Although the smells of all kinds of foods and delicacies were permeating the air, Emera didn't care for human cooked food, or the scent of herbs and spices. She was a serpent type beast, She preferred to kill her own meals like normal pet snakes.
OK Mom, come on Oren, Esholyn said politely as she stood up starting to walk. Oren also stood up quickly following after Her. Emera who was half coiled around orens chair was ready to move as soon as Oren stood up, but She had no idea Oren was finally getting food for Her. He was going to surprise Her.
Esholyn, took Oren, and Emera down the raised platform and through the people sitting down, as Oren passed by the crowd, He could see Harvey sitting a little far off staring disdainfully at Him. Oren noticed Him looking, and reached for Esholyns hand, as they approached a long pathway. Esholyn probably realized what Oren was doing, because as she grabbed his hand, She looked at Harvey sticking her tongue out, teasingly saying "..bleh.." Oren couldn't help but burst out with some laughter as the two entered the corridor.
Esholyn looked at Him with a mischievous smile. "Oren, you like making enemies?"
"Hey, he started it," Oren answered back still giggling.
