A cloaked lie

Note: So we have a quick Anionetta prompt which @empiresofwater requested and she added “something to do with her executing a prisoner maybe”, well it is great to take a break from the RP prompts to do my next interactive story,so I think it is the spying part of the story and I am like hmmm on that.

Anionetta sits silently as she heard the prayers of the priest,watching a trembling prisoner and Caelestra staring blankly on that fancy dress. She was nothing but Anionetta’s new pet to show off to the world. Caelestra bit her tongue slightly “Your most holy Queen.”Anionetta turned her glided eyes towards Caelestra “Yes my child..” Caelestra has to remain careful in these times,Anionetta is like that vengeful ,evil and dark Aqua vitae empress hungering for young blood. Her tongue held only in letters between Drago and someone else. “I am exhausted.” There is that slight tremble as she saw the blood spilling on the ground. It reminded of that chest wound that Caelestra stabbed on Viven,bloody and rotten,just like herself. She stood steadily “Do you need some chocolate or the waters..”

She is about to say the truth.her mind is haunted by that feast that she went alone. In that mere moment courage hid fear,for it was said by Bjorn in one of the legends that it was the darkness like the rot in the corpse that will consume you. How she wished for that but Blair intruded slightly,noticing the paleness of Caelestra. He bowed silently unto her “Excuse me your Holy Queen..” as he cued Lunetta to bring Caelestra along to the nearest shady area. It will surely distract Anionetta from their plans of spying. “For once I agreed with you,someone her age,should see the grimness of people who could betray you."

“You,Blair one of my most loyal subjects think I’M crazy?!”Anionetta hissed angrily,her slender fingers digging through her gorgeous gown “I am not,it shows fear.” Blair clasped his sword tightly,he must follow Lady Caelestra’s orders “but is it a little much my queen?”Anionetta froze slightly,that thought sunk in her head. Perhaps it was much for Lady Caelestra,maybe in her sheltered life, she never saw blood split before. Anionetta bowed slightly “Lord Blair,if she rules the country she must evoke justice like the Mother we worshipped.”

Blair nodded slightly “True. True.” However Anionetta slowly fell into that cloaked lie that Caelestra stole her thunder. She will choke her. “But fear can be turned over by someone kinder and gentler, don’t we want that my queen?”

“Yes…”

“Good” Blair simpered slightly “You will see Caelestra stronger than ever my lady."

The appearance of the light

Note: A quick drabble which I wanted to do about the gladiator  matches,and yes Euilalia  being freaked out on seeing Queen Anionetta has that same vivbes when I wrote Legends when Amadea come to the society ahahaha

On the sweaty rings-blood and the scabs of the competitors filled the arenas,and Euilalia in her red corseted dress came into the arenas,cheers filled the air,as flowers and small gifts were passed to the competitors. The prince nudged Eiuilalia “stay focused,this could be the last damn time we can breathe the air” Euillia saw shimmers of golden figures,she could recognize the symbolized  of the piercing sun,must be the royal family of Avilla. The sons and daughters looking detached to the wild crowd. 

The priest of  the  stadium came in and lit the torches and with a loud voice he shouted prayers to the fallen not to cloud the minds of the competitors,and there the horns blew and the announcer shouted on the names,but as Euilalia walked to meet her first competitor,she saw a famillar figure,a saint descended to the desert. Her golden dresses and the cream mantilla,the mad holy queen. Euilallia stared in horror for now her cousin could see the death of hers. Euilalia cussed slightly,as she gazed at the competitor. However glancing Anionetta;s cold gaze makes Euilalia even more nervous,she could be discovered “I suggest that you did not look as the Holy Queen is watching us die a slow and painful death-“

The worse things happen (adnan’s story)

Note: Anyway in light of Omar Sharif’s passing,apparently he is an another character which have Sharif’s FC,so a new memory which is sadder *plays Lara’s theme*

Taking his new bride Alina,King Alfronso thought of Catholic names for her in his kingdom-to please the crowds-many representatives came to his country to pay respects to the new couple. For Adnan he has this gut feeling of Alfronso’s people will have the frosty reception,belling called out for his sister,especially glancing on Anionetta-The rose of Alma.

Long the days where Alina and him will play with the sands,and Alina will animate the stories to young Adnan in awe. Somehow Adnan trekked painfully on the cold Aph mountains-the frozen coffin as many said. Adnan lamented that Alfronso’s wisdom will never see Anionetta’s cruelty and focused on breaking Alina’s heart.

The coldness drained his spirit and heart-as he could hear eerie prayers and Anionetta dressed in gold and white lace-like an avenging figure,for she smiled at the corpses slain-”My dear Adnan’s my father’s favourite” as white horse circled around Adnan “You are probably next,for poisoning my father at his deathbed with your cruel words-” There he recalled an advice which the king never took.

The feast of St Eulalia,Alfronso smiled as he seen Anionetta teaching little Eulalia who is more focused on running up and down the hallways than to light the candles. “My rose Adnan,always lovely-” Alfronso has this dreamy voice,however Adnan could foresee the worse as he seen that Anionetta’s heart is bitter on the new princess “Be careful I will not let Euilalia be near to your rose,for she has the thorns beneath the beauty” Alfronso patted him by the back “Do not worry my rose will not harm my beloved Euilalia-”

As he kneel at the snowy peaks awaiting death,Adnan squinted his eyes and thought of the one with the sands “Please watch over Eulalia I beesch my power to you-” There an avalanche stirred,and Adnan just ran until he turns cold in his feet and faint in the snow

Alma and its conquerors

Note: In case I am happy with my writing of the origins of Icarcus,seems Yves is back on his adventures,and I am also doing Anionetta’s origins which is pretty challenging yet fun at the same time. I am also doing that prompt “a strange girl who hides herself under layers and layers of clothing”

Young Anionetta-the roses among Alma,sat alone in the palaces,sulking at the corner staring coldly at the newest one,that took her father Alfronso’s eye,the gurgling baby-smiling at his father’s gentle gestures. Despite being his favourite daughter,she is nothing but a chess piece to play,the nameless girl in the woods. There she nudged her young friend-the daughter of the Duke Mia-”Hey Let’s taunt my new baby cousin Eulalia,-”her eyes filled with mischief over that little bundle “She is supposed to be cursed by those gods which my father conquered” ,seems Yves crept through the body of the young girl Anionetta-for little Anionetta knows that she will be used again as the nameless girl in the woods.

The drifts grew-releasing the evil and darkness,as Yves contain the power of foolish Icarcus,the golden hands-that closed the drifts mixed with his hounds of shadows to bring mirth to that man,he recently enchanted the King Warrior Cid to be madly in love with his sister,the ever beautiful Adlea,in consequence-his hounds ate his eyes,blinded and Yves suck all of his strength,with the golden powers of Icarcus to become the hollow shell,little remains of Cid’s glory as his sister perished in the dark waters of Yves-realizing the heinous act she committed. Satisfied by that trickery,he established him as the king of that lands forever wandering in the coldness. However he grew impulsive on meeting the demands of the people-with whims from making the cows feel better to clearing the darkness,and perhaps a new ruler would let him be free.

A young maiden,for she hid herself in fear in layers of clothes,given by people emphatic of hers,some say she is cursed and others a creature horrendous that her father attempt to drown her. No one remembers her face of existence thus she is the “Nameless” Walking through the drifts,fearing the wolves came,she ran fearfully,the clothes she collected all sprinkled in the ground,gossamer,silk and even peasant linen. All frozen,she laid naked,and she sadly knew her fate is done,until she saw an injured wolf bleeding-carrying the young girl up. She cannot feel anything expect death’s embrace and the blood stained.

Anionetta peeped on that cradle on baby Euilalia while her mother is busy reading the texts,the baby at sleep-”Let’s poke her make her wince,my father will listen to me as I am his favourite” Mia looked around for objects to poke it “How about this” Anionetta smiled coldly “perfect” There she grabbed the needles and start poking at her,her cries grew louder in pain. It cause alarm to eulalia’s mother,who slapped the young Anionetta “A princess should respect its relatives”. there Anionetta 

On the crackling fire,she blearily woke up to see a man-his face stained in blood. Her face in horror as she quickly covered herself up with furs for modesty. His voice calm “Do not fear,I will not harm you”,as he used his hounds to bring sweets and treats beyond the poor girl’s hunger. She could barely make a noise but grunts,biting the hounds. Yves signalled his hounds to refrain from attacking her. “Seems you do not have speech-”,there he holds the container of the eyeball of Cid,with a trance spell,Yves forced her to swallow the eye ball. There a gush of air came from her mouth “WHO ARE YOU?” her eyes widened in horror rubbing her throat ‘How can I speak-where am I?”.

Yves sighed audibly-”Seems eating the eyeball of the damn Cid gave you the power of speech-” there he brought the young girl up “You are nameless,as I heard from near and far” as he circled on the girl covered in furs. “Ahh but I cannot name you Nameless” as he swirled in shadows,placing a crown and a sceptre on her head. The girl feel slightly frightened on that power “Why are you nameless?” She could barely think why,her thoughts racing on that. “I do not know,I am always like that,a figure of pity and fear in a bad manner-I am cursed”Yves realizing,that she has the powers of speech replied emphatically “you are not cursed,I promise to take care of you-” as he embraced her like his daughter. The seeds are planted,as Yves taught her to be a human all over again,modelling her with manners and the knowledge way before her time. 

Anionetta wept as her father Alfronso cuddled her “What did my sweet Anionetta did to you”. Her smile is delighted that her father meets her whims “Aunt Alina thought I bully cousin Euilalia-but there are bees stinging her” Mia watching her friend’s dramatic act “Is it true Alina-” Her mouth shut-”Your daughter is mad,she is hurting Eulalia” King Alfronso looked coldly at her “No BUTS! APOLOGIZE TO ANIONETTA,anyway she is a rose”. Grudgingly she apologized to Anionetta,there she spun to the darkness with Yves’ glances.

He decided to call the nameless girl KONUL,because a part of his soul was given to that nameless girl. For she grew beautiful and her spirit strong as she debated with the old gods,and for once she feels belonged to the palaces Yves made,the whims she demanded. For Yves could create chaos as he walked around freely,while she ruled in his behalf. On one of the meetings,with the conquerors-she fell in love with bashfully handsome Aesc,her heart winced in love. When he came from his mischief making,he saw his adopted daughter in tears,Yves embraced her “what is wrong my love”. Her eyes damped in tears “what is that feeling,that longing for an another soul”. 

Yves is unsure how to put it in words,for he never feel a thing called love,as he always trick people to malicious things with love as their drive.He is known for bedding mortals into chaos. However he could feel Konul’s pain,so he made something-a little ring which feels hot “Slip it to Lord Aesc’s bed,see if he is true,his body will not turn into ash,and consummate him” There he embraced his daughter “Anyway a Queen needs a heir of her own”.

While Aesc is on the meeting,she laid herself in bed,ready to be with him,in body and spirit. On his sleep,Konul tried to win him over by putting her body into his. However Aesc refused to bed with her,thinking of his beloved Alma,as he slipped the ring of commitment “GO OFF YOU BITCH” and turned Konul into a bear waited to be hunted. There Yves could feel that a part of him was gone as Aesc ran to Yves “YOUR DAUGHTER IS LECHEROUS LIKE YOU” and there he summoned him to a duel,for Yves for the atonement of his daughter now gone and Galahad for the horror of Yves’ allowing. For the fight last for many deaths,in creation the passionate people,flowers and trees.

Despite many attempts to gain King Alfronso’s attention by gifted in everything from singing to being loyal in her prayers,his mind fickle with many mistresses and queens he went,but oddly he was loyal to his dear Alina which plagued Anionetta.

At last Aesc defeated Yves,weak and exhausted therefore entrapped him into the darkness,never letting him rule the drifts. As Galahad was about to walk back to meet his beloved “I will close the drifts and bring the light unto you”,Yves pulled his last move-in his dying breath “Alma shall be the land and you will have my daughter’s child”,forcing him wear the ring his daughter supposed to put in him,turned him to the ash tree,his last words were “Alma I am sorry” .Consequently Konul ate the berries of the ash tree-created the first ruler of her kingdom after many months -for his name is ARGIDER,and he recalled the words “Alma” same as his father -seen the people in need of the ruler. For he never recalled his mother’s pain to bring him to the world,for she perished like the old life,in furs and ragged clothes.

More of Radha’s band of refugees

Note: So anyway we are introudced to Lady Dymphna and Soo Ling so far,anyway I will do Priva,Maya and Benoni.so I did the backstories of them on the reasons of running away together

Benoni-The pits

As Benoni sat at the pits playing with the necklace that he is brought out,Beoni called faint tears of his mother,seeing her son go as the mayor sadly bringing out as the scapegoat -carrying the the anguish of his people out fo the deserts

His heart sank,for seeing the glimpses of Anionetta’s army,the holy queen walking the mosaic floors and the people reluctant to bow to their new queen,in resulting blaming Benoni for causing the invasion to their home. The last he seen those towns of his,the statutes of Anionetta enlightened by the divine carry through the buildings and the guards looking at him coldly. A cursed human some of its citizens mutter.

Benoni drifted to sleep with the sands to be awoken by all creatures frightening. Benoni knows that he have to run,with flashes of sliver-he disappeared like a mirage. His heart raced in that realization why he is left behind to be eaten do that his city would cleansed from the groans of Anionetta’s rule.

His legs weary from the bursts of speed and eyes fearful of the unknown,he clasped his little knife,ready to stab anything,All was useless when the creature nearly came over him.

Maya-The interrogation

“What do we have here” Anionetta curled her lip slightly,there the guards push a petite girl,her eyes are fierce staring at the God with cold eyes. Anionetta walked to Antonio,her eyes haughty,examining this prisoner

 Antonio bowed down “Your holy Queen-this girl has something special-a navigator thought it will help you to find Soo Ling and mostly Euilalia” She could tell by her tattoos of a compass “They are blessed with a strong sense of direction”-Antonio added,Anionetta become pleasantly surprised by that person “Could be useful to find those rats”,as she clutched at the handcuffs of Maya “Go and find me those rats especially Eulalia and you will be free” Maya stared coldly “I am not going to serve the gifts I have with a bitch like you” There she spitted at Anionetta’s lace dress,and Anionetta felt shocked on her rude expression “I seen cities burn because of your holy sanction,only leaving the dead on your altar”

There she clutched on Maya’s neck “You are going to exterminate the sinners whenever you like it or not” Her eyes defiant on her orders “Orders from the Holy Queen is final to be judged by the divine” There she looked at the prison guard “Perhaps she needs to be imprisoned,there she could change her mind”

Priva-The song in the caves

That expression of fear,as Radha clutched her sister tightly in the caves,Priva asked with a slight fear “Are you sure we will be alright” Radha’s eyes soften,comforted by these  words,however he mind swirl on the runways,as the water trickled slightly  

“Sis do you remember that song” Priva asked calmly Radha shrugged “yeah which one Priva,the one which the prince who steal the jewels become bread r the man search for his beloved in the valleys” Priva slowly smiled “I like the man whose jewels he stole turned to bread” and there Priva sang that song gleefuly until she drift off to sleep. For that song echoed their homelands who are now destroyed. Radha have to stay strong for her,for a little girl should not see such horrors “Do not worry we will be alright-we'lll find the way” as her eyes sharp to keep guard against the invasions

Chasing Rumours-Adnan’s story

Note: it is pretty much an origin story,and why he clinged on that hope of his distant niece to be alive,and we are going to talk about the King of Alma before Anionetta

Rumours of the lost princess,Adnan looked firmly on the followers for answers-stories near and far of the whereabouts. A memory came back to him,watching at the distance of young Euilia-with her intelligent eyes playing with her dolls and reading poetry that he could not grasp.

“Your niece my dear Adnan”-King Alfronso noticed the soft gaze of his advisor Adnan “Yes your majesty-”-Adnan smiled. The king has the most joyful laugh ever “Euilia after the saint Eulalia of Merida feast day-what a wonderful girl with bright eyes and intelligence like my wife” Adnan nodded at his sentiment-his niece has the intelligence which amused the servants and the compassion for the needy “One day I will put her as my heir once she come to age,but for now I will put my rose Anionetta”

“Anionetta ?”-Adnan questioned “Yes your majesty she is come to age,but her character  not” as they walked to the gardens. Alfronso waved gently to his love Euilia,who is petting a cat walking beside. “As your advisor-beneath the rose there are throns-you may get hurt”

“Do not overreact my fellow friend Alfronso-I love my dear Euilia,but she could not rule given of her heritage”-Alfronso looked calmly “I am sparing her youth-to enjoy an idyllic life of being a princess”

Adnan protested “Sir I see Anionetta’s madness,heed it,wait til Euilia is old enough-she is capable in character” 

“My decision is final-I decide who shall I descend” Alfronso shouted “TO hell or not help me God”.

Seems my advice fell into deaf ears,the sudden death of a wise king,his choice Queen Anionetta rise to the throne,in her holy spiral of madness,building her reputation as The Mother of Mercy,The Holy Queen.

As he glanced through the walls of the dark caves,his heart emptied-for now winds of stories blew near and far. Out of the sudden one bowed down “We may have the glimpse of hope of the lost princess” Adnan’s eyes welled in tears “where?”

“Rumours said it was the desert afar,with the notorious Prince of Storm and ash,all wanting the Holy Queen’s death”-he spoke flatly. With his hood lifted up,he signalled the loyal few “Let’s move”

I swear I went to my childhood but this is too good for my bitchy characters Amadea and Anionetta
