Cold Heart (Closed For Sharpedge19)

[Mayu]

A small town of Pandora gave birth to so many wonderful things, but also losing people every day, from a dark sickness. A young girl named Mercy, had just recently lost her parents, and with bills, the house and everything went with it. She felt left out in the world, she had to leave Pandora, she couldn't stand seeing people look at her as a homeless beggar. As she left, she took her horse, the only thing she had to remember her parents by. Traveling a few days until they came to a kingdom called "Valicent Kingdom"

It was so big, she was walking her horse and began singing on the way. People looked at her like a beggar, until she started to push away money, she wasn't a beggar. When she saw a tavern she went in to see if she could get a job, and she did. Washing tables and getting beer was her job, washing tables mostly tho. But as she worked she started to sing, the owner of the tavern heard her and told her, her job had changed, her voice would make him rich. So that was what she did, she sang, she got a little money, enough to have a room and put her horse to be taken care of.

She was there for a couple weeks, until she heard the king was coming down to see her, but it was just rumors. She heard the door open up and Mercy's brown eyes saw a man, and knew by the crest who he was, everyone bowed she was the only one that didn't, but she followed, because she did not bow fast enough, everyone could tell she was not from there, she bowed in respect.

King Marcus Valicent the Ninth

Marcus entered the bar, with a grin on his face. Unlike many kings and oter who have sat on a throne know it isn't the most comfortable thing in the world. Sure, things are nice and everything is done for you but none of the kings really knew there civilization that they were ruling. He showed them disciplant and glory. Marcus was a war hero, always leading the army to a victory. He stood proud and showed it well.

He had heard of a woman entering his town with the clothes on her back and nothing more than a horse. As the sun and the moon passed, she seemed to become more popular. He had to meet this...woman, afterall if she was creating this uproar, he must find out if it'll end his kingdom. He stepped in with rich, yet not too fancy clothes. Mud from the roads under his boots as he stepped in and took a seat in the back, in a normal chair. "We have come only to drink and be merry...don't stop being merry simply because I am here."


He looked at the woman upon the stage, while his right hand seemed to suddenly appear to have a beer in it. "You there woman, I've come only for you, now sing."

 

[Mayu]

Mercy was not bothered by him, she nodded she thought for a moment on what to sing, she decided a new song no one had heard before, she took a deep breath as she closed her eyes for a moment. As the music played she began to sing.

You dont remember me, but I remember you.
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you.
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do.

I believe in you.
Ill give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
Youre taking over me.

Can you know what I know and all we have.
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand.
I knew you loved me then.

I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough.
So many things inside that just frighten you are taking over.

(taking over me)
Youre taking over me
(taking over me)
Taking over me

She had looked at the king most of the time, she was a down to earth kind of girl.

 

[Sharpedge19]

As soon as she had started singing, many of the cheery men, whom all were either playing a poker game or some other kind of game quited down and watched while they drank. It was amazing at what kind of effect her singing gave men. He watched her and stared into her eyes. He had to have her, in hsi heart, he knew he must do this in order for him to save her from this kind of nasty and rude crowd. But his emotions never seemed to over take his pride. He drank some beer and sighed, watching her. It was her last song unfortunitly and he asked the bartender to send her over to his table as soon as possible. He had buisness to speak with her.

It was a relief however to know she was not a thread to his village and kingdom. He would pay the gaurd handsomely for announcing her arrival. He watched her trudge off towards the bar to recieve her pay.

 

[Mayu]

She had locked her eyes to him she smiled some as she seemed to sing to him, she enjoyed the way every one listened to her, she got her pay putting it in a tiny purse of hers she tucked it away in her belt, fitting it so no one could steal it from her without knowing. She saw a bar maid coming and whispered about the king wanting to see her, she nodded and didn't keep him waiting, she walked over to him and bowed showing her respect. "Hello Sire I hope I have pleased you in some way tonight" She said kindly looking into his eyes, he seemed sweet, but there was something in his eyes that showed her that this was going to be a very interesting meeting, when he told her to sit she sat down and sighed some, looking around the room for a moment then back at him.

 

[Sharpedge19]

"You are very talented you know. Enable to capture every man's attention with a single melody. It is a gift froms the gods." Marcus looked into her eyes. "Do you like living here? In the slums? I doubt it...this is a one chance offer, and you must answer now. I'm offering you space in my castle, and room for a horse, as I'm told that is all you braught except yourself. However, you must sing to me whenever I ask of it from you."

He stared at her, his hands now connected. His eyes were dark from the many battles and the bloodshed, he was strong minded and knew many things, he was strong as well. He was never taken for beggar, nor a souless being. He was a mere human but he was a leader to his people. For that, his people respected him and made him the leader of Valicent.

 

[Mayu]

Mercy smiled as she tucked her hand under his chin, she thought for just a moment, at the offer he gave her, she knew she would be stupid if she rejected the offer, so with a kind smile and a nod. "Alright sire, I will take that offer, I shall sing when ever you wish, I am grateful, my horse is the only being that ties me to my parents that are dead, id be heart broken if something happened to her" She shook the sad feeling off. "But yes, what ever you wish of me I will do"

 

[Sharpedge19]

He nodded. "Good, in the morning come to the castle, the gaurd shall let you enter the stable area and then show you to your room, to let you unpack whatever belongings you have with you. Then, he shall show you to my chamber where you shall service, I mean, sing for me." He stood and grinned. "I'm glad I was able to get a chance to meet you. I will see you tommorow." He bowed his head and left the bar quickly and headed to the castle to think of everything about tommorow.

 

[Mayu]

Had she just made the deal with the devil? she shrugged and rested since she was very tired, she headed for her room to get some rest, she started to think of what this was going to be like. She looked outside her window for a moment and sighed a bit, she laid down on her bed, letting her over worked bones rest, and she closed her eyes. When she woke it was early in the morning, she took a bath cleaning herself, and once dried she got into a sky blue colored dress that showed her curves, she was content with her image, and began gathering her things, which wasn't much, a few books, some pictures.

She went to the stable and got her horse, mounting her they headed to the castle. When she got there the guard let her in, showing her to the stable, and she gave her horse to the stable boy, the guard then showed her to her room and left her be, standing outside, she unpacked which only took a minute or two, once she was content with how she put everything she walked out. The guard took her to the throne room, Mercy saw the king there and sighed some. This was it and she knew it, a kind smile on her face as she bowed before him.

 

[Sharpedge19]

He smiled as she approached him in the same thing that she wore the previous day. He snuffed, "this will not do...from now on, you shall recieve outfits that are respectable and look nice, and different now that you live in this castle. Remy!" He yelled and a couple of servants followed by a skinny man appraoched him and they spoke for a moment, figuring everything to do with her. They ran towards her, measuring everything from her bust size to her foot size. After getting there measurements, they were off and Marcus was more pleased than before. "Please now, mi'lady, sing a tune for my companions so that they understand what it is meant to be...relaxed..." He had wanted to say in love but he couldn't bring himself to actually say it.

 

[Mayu]

She nodded some, she heard someone playing her tune so she was happy someone knew her music. She took a deep breath as she began to sing with all her heart.

I know there?s something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you?ve built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark

listen to your heart
when he?s calling for you
listen to your heart
there?s nothing else you can do
I don?t know where you?re going
and I don?t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they?re swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams

listen to your heart
when he?s calling for you
listen to your heart
there?s nothing else you can do
I don?t know where you?re going
and I don?t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can?t find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that?s been
when love was wilder than the wind

listen to your heart
when he?s calling for you
listen to your heart
there?s nothing else you can do
I don?t know where you?re going
and I don?t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart....mm..mmm

I don?t know where you?re going
and I don?t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
