Darkness Returns.

I spoke earlier about the few hours before the fires lit the sky. Since then I have spend the majority of the clock hands of heavens fire around the manor. I have tried to spend time with my queen, the prince, the jester, and the princess. While also attempting to aid the elder and get some of the manor upkeep attended to. These duties have summoned me away from the manor for brief journeys, but I was able to return to the manor rather quickly. Along with everything else i also have been keeping an inconspicuous eye on the elder, due to her need to see the healer before the fires lit the sky. 

Currently since the darkness has returned I am sitting with my queen. She is guiding us on a on and mental and visual trip through the land of my name sake. As she leads the tour. I am torn between taking a leaving a few thoughts in this journal, enjoying the tour she is guiding, and just admiring the stunning beauty of my queens mind as well as her body. After seven harvest seasons, my queen still takes my breath away. Our three offspring, and my queen are some how involved in every action or decision I make. Every quest I embark on, is done with their well being and well fair in mind. 

Most days I feel more energized as the hands of darkness return. After rising from the fortress of comfort in the fashion i spoke of before, I feel my energy levels are not up to normal. My apologies to anyone that happens to discover this journal. 

Mid-day tomorrow I will set out on a quest to earn our weekly gold.so I am thankful for this time with my queen. Our manor has calmed and we have this time to just enjoy each others company. As she slays the demons of a visual manifestation, and I set the path of another twisted road into words, we are also close enough to have idle conversations within touching distance of each other. these are the moments where happiness can be found. Our days are not easy, we have our fair share of stress worry and pain. This is our release just a few hands of the clock to let it all go. Now I must take a more hands on approach to ensuring that my queen is calm and relaxed.

So here is hoping that my time in the fortress of comfort is not disturbed before I am summoned by the mystical music. Until then we will enjoy the darkness then seek the wisdom of our dreams.

Disappearing Dreams.

I had to leave the fortress of dreams, several clock hands before heavens fires lifted the shroud of darkness. Hearing the mystical music, that alerts me it is nearly time to begin a quest for gold, I was removed from the depths of slumber.

As I removed myself from the cloak of warmth, my first thought was there are no scheduled quests until the following mid-day. So why in the name of the demon lord am I being summoned at such an hour? 

As the end-trails of sleep banished from my mind, I remembered I had offered my services in charity. I had to deliver the village elder to the local healer. The village elder had requested I arrive early so she could speak with the healers before they were consumed with daily business.Considering the village elder is the mother of my queen, I often offer services with the understanding that her providing life to my queen is payment enough for any service that may be required of me. 

So one and a half hands before the fires light the sky I am suited up for the journey. Before I ready the carriage, I sit outside and enjoy the stars and burn a calming scroll. The trip to where the elder the elder rested takes only a quarter of a clock hand, And I quickly find myself outside the privet inn waiting beside the carriage for the elder to emerge. After another calming scroll I assist the elder into the carriage and we make our journey to the healers. Since the lands have been affected by a plague the last few seasons, I drop the elder off outside upon arrival at the healer and return to the manor i share with my queen.

I park the carriage near the front of the manor, and return to the fortress of dreams. My queen is still wrapped in the cloak of warmth deep in slumber, Placing my self inside the fortress and pulling the cloak over me I attempt to read a vision induced by slumber. Before any visions become available I am awaken by the jester with questions of his daily attire. after seeing to his wardrobe I allow him into the fortress with the queen and myself. soon I am relieved from slumber again. I must answer a summons from the elder. she is informing me that i may leave the healers place of business if I have any other errands I need to take care of. Apparently the healers were giving her a few time consuming elixirs and tests of health. After informing her I was laying with my queen and our jester, I was summoned repeatedly during the next two clock hands. At which point I answered one final summons from the elder requesting I deliver her from the healers back to our manor. Good bye visions of the untruth, Maybe i will have time to seek your wisdom after the heavens fires resend and the darkness returns.
