Join on a grand adventure
Continuation to this (takes place before the last chapter)
Roman let his brother and Virgil into his room, almost vibrating with excitement, but he kept his cool. This might be the last time Virgil agreed to let him pick something out for him, and he was not going to risk him changing his mind now.
“I've been planning this trip for ages! It just never seemed like the right moment and I didn’t want you to think I was asking because I felt I had to… you're going to love it! But first!”
Roman turned to his brother. “What are you going to wear?” he asked gesturing to Remus' appearance.
“What? Not good enough for your royal subjects?” Remus drawled haughtily while striking a dainty pose.
Roman chuckled. “It's fine, for everyday clothes. But this is your big entrance. Don't you want something with a little extra flair?” Roman questioned.
“Well… first impressions are important,” Remus nodded in agreement looking over his usual attire.
The people of the kingdom deserved a little more pazas after his long absence. And Roman basically just gave him his blessing to outshine him today. That would likely never happen again.
Remus snapped his fingers and suddenly Virgil and Roman were met with a…rather dapper ensemble. At first glance at least.
On second inspection what they thought was sequence on his black vest were reptilian scales. The vest itself seemed to be genuine silk. It had leather sequencing on the shoulders, elbows, cuffs and waist. The shoulder patches were lined with soft black feathers.
Black pants disappeared into black dragon leather boots and the fabric of his sash was intertwined with thorny vines.
It looked good honestly. He could’ve done a lot grosser, but he took their plea to behave himself seriously it seemed.
Roman nodded his approval. “Splendid. Although, if I may?” Roman lifted his hand with a questioning look. “You can get rid of it if you don't like it?” he assured him.
“Let me have it Romano.” And with a roll of Roman’s eyes and wave of his hand Remus now wore a green Cape and a fierce emerald embezzled crown.
Remus looked at the result nodding his approval. “I like it.”
“I figured we could match a little,” Roman offered as he waved his hand again and gave himself a red Cape and a crown decorated with rubies. His outfit stayed largely the same, baring the addition of a sheeted broadsword at his hip.
“Similar but different you know?” Remus nodded, happy that his brother was no longer avoiding being associated with him. He missed this stuff.
“Alright you two.” The twins turned to Virgil who'd up until then been observing them quietly while sitting on Roman's vanity.
In the real world, the poor thing wouldn’t have been able to support the weight. But in the mindscape it was fine.
Once he saw he had their attention he jumped off, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“Let's get this over with,” he sighed. “What you got for me? I remember I used to wear chainmail and this big cloak?”
Roman chuckled as he remembered that even back then, Virgil had tended to go for oversized clothing.
“Yes…when we were kids,” Roman grinned, receiving a decisive nod from Remus. “Bare minimum effort won't cut it this time Virgie. Not for my big day.”
Virgil groaned. “I’m regretting every decision I’ve made that led me here.”
He took a deep breath and got ready to be…. Ugh, changed. Princey better be having the best day of his life.
And that thought made him relax. He had agreed to this to let Roman have his fun. Today was clearly important to him. And this was as good a way as any to show that between them were somewhat back to how they used to be.
When he opened his eyes he was faced with a full length mirror.
He was wearing some chainmail but it only covered his chest and back. And even that was hidden from view by the royal purple vest with a mix of the twin's coats of arms in his colors over his heart. A black, purple patched, hooded cloak was held in place by a pin bearing his signature storm cloud.
There were steel cuffs around his wrists, decorated with Amethysts.
The same type of stone that graced the hilt of the sword at his hip and the twin daggers he found on his back. And the armored plates with intricate designs, bound around his knees and elbows.
He looked kind of cool honestly. But if he told Princey that he'd never live it down.
“Well it's not as bad as I thought it would be,” Virgil admitted reluctantly causing Roman to squeal in delight.
Remus let out a cackle. Everyone knew that this was Virgil's way of saying he loved it.
“Well! Shall we? A grand adventure awaits!” Roman declared eagerly as soon as he got over his relief at getting Virgil's approval.
His brother and best friend nodded as they all turned towards the big, golden door to the imagination.
“We’ll arrive a bit outside of the kingdom but don't worry, I’ve arranged for transportation,” Roman grinned. The doors opened and door the first time in ages the trio stepped through.
Roman, Remus and Virgil are open for asks.
