Sword Of Ancients

[AroraDestiny]

This thread is a closed thread for myself and a friend. Id like to officially say Happy New Year to everyone at my favorite place to chat with the other great writers, The China Pearl Inn OOC.


Aelina De'Foleor was the daughter of a very rich and prosperous king. The kingdom itself was another matter, it was a very poor place. The land itself was rich enough and its people well fed, but in return the demand from the king was a high price to pay. Pity the soul who would suggest any relief for the people.

Aelina was a beauty, locks of rich brown hung to her waist highlighted with red tones. Hers was the figure of grace. Long slender legs, softly rounded hips, a trim waist, full round breasts. The face of an angel, a rebellious spoiled only child. Her blue-grey eyes could pierce through to the soul.

At 8 she had gone through a refining school for ladies. At 12 she was taught to fence at her fathers insistance. At 16 she had already won medals for use of her swordsmanship. Now at 20 her father was busy trying to find her a husband. She rejected and humilated anyone who even tried to win her over.

She took it opon herself to check the borders of her fathers land. To ensure none of the peasants thought they should not pay thier dues since they were so close to another lairds lands. This day she was accompanied by her current champion, a female knight, one of the few allowed to be so. The farm they are approaching is of fairly good size. Some of the best crops are grown in this plot of land.

The man who resides here lives alone. No wife nor children. His parents long passed from a case of smallpox years back. She nods to her champion, her friend, and knocks on the door with a gloved hand. The sight he sees when he opens the door is of a woman dressed in a black riding gown. Straight cut lines do very little to hide her curves. A bit of white lace at her throat is the only decoration. A sword is strapped to a special belt at her waist. The tips of high laced boots can be seen peaking from the hem of her smart dress. Her hair is braided down her back and covered with a cloth and metal circlet.

"Your taxes are due m'lord. Id have them now and be on my way."

 

[Prince Travis]

He is inside working on making a new table, his old table could no longer hold up anymore. He finally got enough money up to buy some new tools to be able to work. He is dressed in knee high boots, brown torn pants, a green shirt that exposses his muscular chest. His hair is a golden color tied back. He looks very dirty and very hard worked. Dirt covers his clothing and it looks like he hasn't taken a bath in awhile.

He hears a knock on the door, moving to his room he grabs ahold of his well decorated sword he bought a long time ago. A sword he considers to be worthy to wield. People would die to have this sword he bought. He straps it to his waist and opens the door.

He looks to Aelina, his eyes roam up and down her a bit and then he looks to her champion. His eyes move back to her and with soft spoken words from Aelina, "Your taxes are due m'lord. Id have them now and be on my way." His eyes narrows a bit, his voice is soft yet deadly. "Taxes... taxes... and more taxes. I don't have any money for taxes. I bearly have any too keep this damn farm going to feed you and your king."

He slams the door and looks down at her. Standing about '6 3' and his body very well toned up and tanned. "I cannot even water my crops or even take a bath since the king put a tax on the pond where I get my water. I haven't had a decent bath in almost 3 weeks and my crops need watering. My neighbors have to lend me money to just water my crops."

 

[AroraDestiny]

He looks at me, he even has the nerve to look my body up and down like..like a peasant woman. Then he looks to my champion Alexis. He looks anoyed as he speaks.

"Taxes... taxes... and more taxes. I don't have any money for taxes. I bearly have any too keep this damn farm going to feed you and your king."

He slams the door behind him and looks down at me. He is tall and well built, a slight tan and hard handsome features. If he were a nobleman I might even consider him for a husband. But of course I would never let him taint me with his low dirty member.

"I cannot even water my crops or even take a bath since the king put a tax on the pond where I get my water. I haven't had a decent bath in almost 3 weeks and my crops need watering. My neighbors have to lend me money to just water my crops."

She stands tall and her smile turns mocking.

"That you have not bathed is very evident. Your stench makes me ill. If it would keep the smell down I might just have father lower the water tax. I may just do that. As for payment I will take that fancy sword of yours.."

Her smile fades into a dark and menacing gaze.

"You have no need of it anyways farmer. The kings men patrol these borders."

Her smile fades into a dark and menacing gaze.

"You have no need of it anyways farmer. The kings men patrol these borders."

He feels the urge to slap her down but holds his hand back. "If your father would lower the taxes then perhaps we all might do more, but the more we are taxed to death, the less we feel like doing.

His hand rest upon the hilt of his sword. "So... I see you are taking a liking to my sword. I have to have this sword to keep your guards out of my house. They think they can push us farmers around but they are mistaken. Not a one of your patrol men have died, just ended up lost after a good fight. I will wager you this girl. if your guard there can beat me in a sword fight then I will hand over my sword to you as everyone's payment, but if I win then you will pay for our taxes from your own pocket." A tries to hold back a laugh when he speaks.

The smirk on his face shows he has no fear of her champion. Alexis has not been beaten in months. She trains every afternoon at duel weilding. Her company is also valued as a friend to Aelina, one of her only true friends. She turns to Alexis and she nods.

"I will pay your taxes and those of your friends for 3 months if you can best her in a fair battle. If not your sword is mine."

They move to an open area next to the creek. Alexis stands before him dressed in fine leather pants and jerkin. Her red hair is pulled back in a knot. Reaching behind her she takes each handle of her two swords and assumes an attack position. Her eye is sharp watching him carefully.

 

[Prince Travis]

"I will pay your taxes and those of your friends for 3 months if you can best her in a fair battle. If not your sword is mine." He hears her speak, a grin forming upon his lips. "Then perhaps you should not underesimate a farmer nor a peasant."

Reaching behind her she takes each handle of her two swords and assumes an attack position. Her eye is sharp watching him carefully. He thinks Aelina champion is very pretty and deadly with her looks. He unsheathes his sword and takes a fighting position, watching her movement. He pushes a switch on the sword as another blade extends from the hilt of the sword. He quickly gives the hilt a good twist as the swords break apart and form 2 elegant weapons.

He takes up his fighting stance ready to battle her. All around them, the farmers gather around to watch was is going on, thinking Dracon Scallian is going to die. He is nearly caught off guard a bit by Alexis quick movements he is able to block her attacks and keep up with her.

 

[AroraDestiny]

He grins as I speak moving toward the open area nearby.

"Then perhaps you should not underesimate a farmer nor a peasant."

He is nearly caught off guard a bit by Alexis quick movements he is able to block her attacks and keep up with her.

Her suprise is evident when the swords break into two swords and he begins to overtake Alexis. The fight is intence lasting for several minuetes before Alexis loses one and then both her swords. She kneels in honor to him and declares him the winner. Alexis eyes are full of reverence and admiration. Aelina looks dumbfounded then angry.

"So you won. It was just dumb luck. Come Alexis we return to the castle."

Alexis sheathes her weapons and moves to her mistress.

~"It was not luck mistress. His skills do exceed mine by a small margin."~

Aelina turns red with embarassment as some of the people of the shire begin to smile and try and hide thier amusment.

"Ah right. Well you won this time. The water tax will be lowered and in three months ill expect payment."

A cheer rises from the people as they pat Dracon on the back and declare a festival in his honor. Aelina looks slightly hurt for a moment as she turns away and begins her walk back home. Earlier the day had seemed sunny and beautiful and the walk back through the fields of wildflowers excited her but now she just feels embarassed. Her allowance will barely cover thier taxes for the three months.

Her suprise is evident when the swords break into two swords and he begins to overtake Alexis. The fight is intence lasting for several minuetes before Alexis loses one and then both her swords. After both swords are knocked from her hands, he reaches up and wipes the sweat from his brow. The fight very intense for him, he has never fought someone like this. She kneels in honor to him and declares him the winner. Alexis eyes are full of reverence and admiration. Aelina looks dumbfounded then angry.

"So you won. It was just dumb luck. Come Alexis we return to the castle."

Alexis sheathes her weapons and moves to her mistress.

Everyone around the borderlands are excited, the festival is wonderful and grand. Every seems to be having alot of fun, fun they haven't seen in a long time. All the women around flirt with him and dance with him, but for some reason he cannot bring himself to have fun like he wants. When noone pays attention to him he goes off alone into the forest to think.

 

[AroraDestiny]

after the gold is placed in her fathers coffer she devises a plan to have a little fun, she pulls on an old corset and chemise of hers and lets her hair loose, she goes barefoot and takes her last two coins and sneaks off to the festival, she runs through the woods and right past him on her way, she to busy trying to run to the village to notice hes not far off the path

 

[Prince Travis]

He looks up as he sees the woman pass by him, he reaches up and scratches his head. He thinks this woman looks familar passing by but he has never seen her around the borderlands. He places his hand upon the hilt of his sword. He goes off after her, light on his feet, he bearly makes a sound.

He sees her stop a bit before making it to the villiage. He comes up behind her and whirls her around looking into her eyes, his jaw drops open... the look of surprise deep in his eyes. He studders a bit. "wh...wha....what are you doing here?"

 

[AroraDestiny]

Stopping to catch my breath I can see the celebration up ahead. It is so wonderful. Maybe tonight I can escape my reality. Become one of the people. Perhaps laugh with those who might have been my friends under other circumstances. I turn hearing footsteps and I see the farmer Dracon Scallion.

"wh...wha....what are you doing here?"

His suprise is evident on his features. Breathless I watch him as if in a trance. My mind tells me to run but I cannot. For some reason I feel drawn to him. I felt it before but now it is only getting stronger.

"I.. was just..I... please dont tell anyone...please."

She turns away taking a deep breath then turns back.

"I am begging you not to tell anyone who I am. If anyone asks I am going by Lina. Just visiting my family from another shire. It means alot to me to go."

She brushes the hair back from her flushed cheeks. As she steps towards him her eyes meet his and hold. Her eyes are shimmering with tears.

 

[Prince Travis]

"I.. was just..I... please dont tell anyone...please." He watches her a moment, wondering why she is here with them, thinking it doesn't make any sense to him. "I will not tell a soul." She turns away taking a deep breath then turns back.

"I am begging you not to tell anyone who I am. If anyone asks I am going by Lina. Just visiting my family from another shire. It means alot to me to go."

She brushes the hair back from her flushed cheeks. As she steps towards him her eyes meet his and hold. Her eyes are shimmering with tears.

He looks down at her as she gets closer to him, his heart begins to beat faster, even the way she is dressed now he thinks she is very beautiful. He reaches up and wipes the tear from her cheek. His hand lingering on her cheek, he feels drawn to her like she is to him. "I will tell them you are a long lost friend of mine and they will understand. If you are wishing to join the party then you are welcomed to do so."

 

[AroraDestiny]

"I will not tell a soul."

He reaches up and wipes the tear from her cheek. His hand lingering on her cheek.

"I will tell them you are a long lost friend of mine and they will understand. If you are wishing to join the party then you are welcomed to do so."

She looks suprised at this.

"You would do that for me? I am in your debt."

She smiles then a little bit and bites her bottom lip.

"Im sorry I doubted you earlier. I guess I dont know much about peasants..I mean..the people of this shire."

The walk together into the festival area. Everyone is laughing and dancing and the merchants selling thier wares are really happy since everyone is spending thier extra money.

"Tell me about it. I wish to know."

Being so close to him sends a rush of excitment through her.

 

[Prince Travis]

"You would do that for me? I am in your debt." She smiles then a little bit and bites her bottom lip. He smiles at her. "I think everyone has misjudged you... I for one have misjudged you."

"Im sorry I doubted you earlier. I guess I dont know much about peasants..I mean..the people of this shire." The walk together into the festival area. Everyone is laughing and dancing and the merchants selling thier wares are really happy since everyone is spending thier extra money. "Tell me about it. I wish to know."

Being so close to him sends a rush of excitment through her. He puts his arm around her gently. "I thought you already knew about the land and us... We are all just friends, all of our parents who resided here all perished by your father for raising the taxes at one point so high that people had to die for their families... This was before we were born."

He sighs for a moment. "Don't worry about this, just have some fun for tonight." He grabs ahold of her arms and begins dancing with her.

 

[AroraDestiny]

"I thought you already knew about the land and us... We are all just friends, all of our parents who resided here all perished by your father for raising the taxes at one point so high that people had to die for their families... This was before we were born."

She looks back towards the castle she was born in deeply troubled by this. Was this the time her father spoke of in which population control was needed? If so he had been speaking of doing it again.

He sighs for a moment.

"Don't worry about this, just have some fun for tonight."

Grabbing me we are pulled into a mass of excited dancers.

"I dont know any of these dances I just know the dances for the balls my father throws."

She has to shout to be heard above the laughter and singing. The music is lively and fast. People are stomping thier feet and twirling around and around the bonfire.

He smiles at her and shows her basic dances that they do. He gives her something strong to drink. He is having alot of fun and then pulls her to the side for a moment to be alone with her.

"I thought maybe we could get away from the party a bit."

 

[AroraDestiny]

"I thought maybe we could get away from the party a bit."

His hand on her arm feels good. The cool air blowing across her skin makes her body tingle with pleaure.

"Sure. You dance wonderfully. Thank you for showing me how."

She moves to hug him and her leg brushes against his barely contained hardness. All at once the air rushes from her lungs, she looks at him she cannot seem to move. Lust fires her blood and all she can think of is where they could be alone together. The smell of the bonfire and seat sticks to thier bodies causing a heady scent.

Lust fires her blood and all she can think of is where they could be alone together. The smell of the bonfire and seat sticks to thier bodies causing a heady scent.

When her leg brushes against his hardness, a soft moan escapes his lips. He didn't realize his feelings for her were this strong. The lust over taking his mind and body, the takes her by the hand again and leads her to his house. Closing the door behind him gently, he moves back over to her, pulling her to him and begins to kiss her with the fires of passion from the very depths of his being.

 

[AroraDestiny]

I hear his moan and he takes my hand, leading me through the moonlight to his home. The roads seem to glow, an enchanted path leading towards heaven.

"Dracon?"

He opens the door leading me inside and closing it softly behind us. His home is small but adequate enough for the family of three that once was here in happier times.

He pulls me into his arms, our kiss one of lust and a growing love just barely kindled. Passion carries us towards his bed. I tug his shirt off tossing it aside as he unlaces my overdress and yanks it free.

We fall on the bed he in just his breeches, having kicked off his boot somewhere along the way and I in just a thin chemise and a ladys underpants. My breathing is fast as I kneed the flesh along his back. Smooth, hard muscle, strength seems to eminate from him. I feel him touching me through my chemise. My body is on fire, I feel a moist warmpth between my legs.

 

[Prince Travis]

He kisses her softly around her neck, his hands playing with her breasts making her nipples hard. The lust over taking his body and he can no longer stand it and removes the rest of her clothing. His jaw drops just about seeing how beautiful she is. "Aelina..... you are very beautiful.... I have never seen such beauty in all my years..."

He wraps his arms gently around her and holds her tightly to his body, keeping her safe and warm in his embrace. He removes his breeches and his underwear, laying there naked with her. Enjoying the view, loving the moment, feeling happy for once. He tilts her head up to him, staring into her eyes for a moment and then kissing her with all the passion he has for her on her lips. His hardness brushing against her leg.

 

[AroraDestiny]

"Aelina..... you are very beautiful.... I have never seen such beauty in all my years..."

He wraps his arms gently around her and holds her tightly to his body, keeping her safe and warm in his embrace. He removes his breeches and his underwear, laying there naked with her. He tilts my head up, staring into my eyes for a moment and then kissing me with passion. His hardness brushes against my inner thigh.

Blushing Aelina returns his kiss. Her legs opening in a silent but heady acceptance of his body. She moves her hips slightly and his manhood is pressed gently into the entrance of her sheath. One slight push and he could be inside her. Her warm hands travel along his body, rubbing, flowing over every inch of skin.

"Take me Dracon. Please."

 

[Prince Travis]

"Take me Dracon. Please." The sound of her passionate voice drives him over the edge. He pulls his weight ontop of her beautiful body, using his legs he spreads her legs apart. Feeling the warmth of her entrance, wanting to thrust inside of her but holds back with all of his strength. He moves his kisses to the sides of her neck and begins to suck on her neck softly. His hands moving to her breasts, caressing softly beginning to pinch the nipples softly.

His voice soft and passionate. "Stay the night with me... please...." He cannot hold back any longer and pushes himself gently into her hottness.

 

[AroraDestiny]

"Stay the night with me... please...."

As he enters a moan escapes her lips. Her eyes close and her fingers stop thier movement for a moment. Her nails dig into his flesh as she presses her hips up against him.

"I...I will stay.. as long as I can."

Thier bodies mold into one another perfectly. As if they were meant for one another. Even being just a servent to nobility he holds a power over her. She realises it has nothing to do with ones rank or station but instead the draw of a man to a woman.

Her fingers once more kneed over his body, her legs spread wide for his thrusts, her hips moving in perfect harmony.

 

[Prince Travis]

A groan escaps his lips as her nails dig into his skin, his thrusting becomes faster and harder. He opens his eyes as he looks down at her, sweat rolls down his body as he makes love to her. "I...I will stay.. as long as I can."


He isn't far from his release. He can feel the pressure building up, needing to let go but he holds back. His heart races, calling out to her, calling her name. Feeling her heart beat with his. Leaning down, he begins to kiss and suck around her neck, pulling her tightly to his body. Not wanting this to come to an end.

 

[AroraDestiny]

Her body trembles as she feels him inside her body. She knows it wont be long before they find release together. Her silken folds fit tightly around his engorged member.

She presses against him restlessly. Her moans fill the room with a soft sweet sound.

"Make me cum.. I want you to fill me..."
