Through The Ages: Tudor (Story)
Two mysterious nobles showed up at the English court of King Henry VIII. Some say they bore a striking resemblance to some Ancient Roman Statues, others tell of Norse myths about them. However, the truth is that they drank from a fountain of youth as young adults. And they’ve been wandering the earth ever since. But that’s a secret they can’t let get out.
The elder, James Semper (supposedly aged 21) has found favor as one of King Henry’s close friends and advisors. James is romantic, ambitious, good, and wants a soulmate. He’s even been granted the dukedom of Somerset. Of course, he must be careful with the advice he gives the king; the king is known to have a sharp temper.
The other, Alice Aeternum (supposedly aged 20) has become a lady in waiting for King Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. She is romantic, outgoing, cheerful, and wants to be a friend of the world. She’s strikingly beautiful to the court, so she has many suitors. The king has even taken a liking to her, and some say she’s being considered as his fifth wife.
Of course, James and Alice are expected to get along. As some of the closest to the King, they’ve danced together at balls and parties quite a few times.
However, there’s something more there. James and Alice have a long history, spanning thousands of years and they’re still completely in love. But they know they can’t marry, as the king would consider that a betrayal. He might send both of them to the Tower of London where they’d meet a grim demise. So their relationship has to be kept a secret.
A quick kiss can always be exchanged in a quiet corridor though.
