Eric x Godric

"Eric, Eric. Fa upp" (Get up)

Godric dug his hands into the center of my chest to prod me. I stirred as the dreams began to release me. I opened an eye and cast it up upon him. He smiled at me and shoved his arms underneath my body to coax me from out of the coffin. I grumbled and sat up. My hands reached upward to rub the sleep from my eyes.

"Vad ar det?" (What is it)

It was then that he turned to dig into the bag draped at his side. He took out what appeared to be a sort of flyer. He opened the paper up fully. I could see the lines run the surface where it had been folded.

"Ett parti?" (a party?)

"A royal ball."

He assured me as I took the paper between my hands to bring it into better view before returning my gaze onto my maker.

"And I have every intention to crash it."

A mischievous little smirk touched upon his lips to match the evil glint in his eye. Impatiently he gathered me up into his arms and rushed us to dress.

Upon reaching the palace, I took note of each moving body. I could hear the sound of heartbeats dance within my ears. The crowed was marvelous. I followed Godric's movements as we made our way toward the entrance. Gentleman of high standing we passed ourselves off to be. I brought a hand to run the length of the arm of the crisp black suit I wore. One arm then the other to smooth out the material.

We reached the entrance and Godric brought out the paper invitaion.

"We are the Duke and Count of Valmont"

He gave a small bow and I followed with a nod of my head.

"Gentlemen, your presence is quite the delight."

The male spoke softly. I could feel the pull of his blood as I watched it run through his veins. Godric took me by the arm and ushered me forward through the doorway.

I was already growing quite drunk off of the thrall of the people within the open space. Their heartbeats formed a cacophony of sound that permeated my ears. A man passed carrying a tray of champagne glasses and Godric caught up two for the both of us. He extended mine out to me and I wrapped my hand firmly around the neck.

"To tonight"

He proposed and gave a tip of his head, the brim of his hat dipped to cover one eye. I rose my glass to meet his own at the rim. I was just about to join within his words when all around us grew silent.

"And now announcing, her ladyship, her majesty and royal highness, Queen Lillianna."

The sound echoed throughout the room. I turned my eyes from Godric to catch sight of the young queen, seemingly float down the stair case with her dress trailing behind her. I was near enthralled. I felt Godric approach and he rested his hand upon my shoulder curling his fingertips inward to grip.

"Talamod, Eric" (Patience)

He purred and moved around me.

"You'll have her soon enough."
