Betrothed

(A 1X1 between me and Karma200)


In a kingdom surrounded in lush forests and clear waters lay a castle made of only gemstones. The castle was home of the royal family, The king Numair a benevolent if not childish ruler and his two sons. The eldest cold as ice was to take the throne in his fathers place, the youngest was a wild child hyper and free. !7 years ago the king had sent an invitation to royals and nobles looking for a daughter who he could promise to his son now today he'd finally meet the lady who would soon co-run his kingdom. Numair had made sure a feast was prepared for the welcome and a parade of many colors. Zek, his eldest, was the only one not busy preparing. All he did was read sitting by the throne his slender fingers caressing the pages as if they were finer then the silks he wore on his slender body. An amulet of ruby glowed lightly on his chest the chain made of fine strong silver. After the preparations where finished with a bit of time to spare the king sat at his throne smoothing back his wild untamed mop of brown hair, his hair was almost so wild it hid the wolf ears on his head. The king and the prince were complete contrasts, the king was tan solid in build though not muscular and looked to be genuinely happy just sitting at his throne.The younger prince was a spitting image of the king and he was dressed like a little squire as was his request. The boy held a wooden sword at his side he had no magic but he could swing his sword around.


There the family awaited the calls to announce the arrival of the princess and her family.

Princess Karmalita sat in her seat as she looked off in boredom as she felt the horse under her galloping away, she would've been to her destination sooner had it not been for her father wanting to have the family seen as elegant and mature so he decided to have them all ride a horse instead of using their Dragon form... great.


"I want you to keep your mouth shut when we get there," He spoke in his deep and gruff voice and she just rolled her eyes at him, the feeling of someone starring at her made her pale blue eyes looked to her right just in time to see her older brother Fallen glaring over at her from his horse; without an explanation she flipped him the bird before looking ahead, she could see the castle that belonged to her future husband... wow, that word made her want to puke, not once had she ever been able to see herself get tied down by marriage and yet here she was.


"Embarrassed that you have such a rebellious daughter?" Karma laughed as they stopped in front of the castle, they had arrived and for a minute her eyes were attached to the scenery as well as wondering if her freedom would be severed the moment she would walk in. She wasn't great with other people because she had no ladylike manners and she didn't have an issue with admitting that herself, no one liked to be around her because she was a free spirit who didn't care about what others thought about her and because that isn't how it works with everyone, they usually steered clear from Karma.


"Hannah should be here in an hour or two so keep your attitude in check," Fallen pretty much hissed at her, a smile formed on her face at the thought of the young 8 year old girl that worked as her private maid and little friend; Hannah was probably one of the few things that Karmalita truly cared about and because of that, she always had Hannah by her side whenever she could but now that things were different... she hoped things didn't change to much.

The family was greeted graciously. The head of the guard walked up she was clad in hardened leather and fine steel armory yet still managed to look elegant if not a bit wild. A mass of thick silk like brown hair was pulled back into a simple pony tail to keep it from her grass colored eyes she was pale for a guard who was in the sun all day. "I am Shania I'll escort you into the palace when you are ready," she said she seemed to be the blunt sort of person her aura marked her as powerful though the presence of the sword strapped to her back was even more notable, almost evil. "The king has a feast prepared if you are hungry... oh an my deepest sympathy to the princess... Zeks a bit more then a handful," she shrugged. The outside was rather peaceful at the moment due to the excitement inside little was left for outside.
