OK so here is my first Emmett and Rose story. they are my favourite twilight couple and I think there should be more stories about them so I have decided to give it a go. I have used creative licence with this and so it is not a specific time period. There are Viking, Greek/Spartan influences however the setting is a little further forward in time.
I really hope to get this story out and I have planned out the next few chapters in advance so I don't hit writers block
I own nothing in twilight but I hope you enjoy
They had been marching for two days before finally setting sights upon Voltura. It was not the longest they had travelled Cullenthan warriors could march for up to a week without the need to stop for rest. It was said that one warrior was equal to seven men. They trained from the age of five in combat, taken from their homes and made into men. they were taught how to wield a sword, to hunt and survive in the most extreme conditions they were more than mere men and when together they made even the Gods themselves tremble.
Emmett son of Carlisle was the greatest of all he stood like a mountain amongst his men, he was very strong and his skill on the battlefield was beyond that of any other. It is said that the Gods came down and blessed him with strength and agility, the Goddesses gave him youthful looks and handsome features, so that he might bring fame and fortune to his people.
Sent out on his twelfth year into the woods surrounding Cullentha he was instructed by his tutors to come back a man or never return again. Emmett survived the harsh winter hunting utilising the skills he had been given. It was during this time that he came upon Rahna the beast. It was he who had been coming into Cullentha in the night and attacking, killing families and livestock. Rahna was large and on his hind legs stood a foot higher than Emmett it is said that they fought for four whole days before Emmett finally killed the beast and then took it back to his father, where he was welcomed home a man.
King Caius of Voltura was old and of ill heath. He had never recovered from the loss of his wife Athenodora and Emmett had no doubts they could take Voltura from him before too much blood was shed. His men were anxious for battle, the drawback of having such a feared army is that most gave in before a battle could ensue, he hoped they might get their wish of a small fight before turning back victorious.
After instructing the build of camp, ordering some men to hunt for the evenings meal and sending scouts to the higher lands to watch for his return, Emmett called for Lord Royce to send word to the castle that he wished to meet with the King. Emmett had never liked Lord Royce he was the son of the late Lord Royce King, a confidant of his father in court and as such Lord Royce II was offered certain privileges amongst the court that he would otherwise never have afforded. He was of average build smaller than most of the warriors but could lift a sword without too much trouble, he trained like all Cullenthan men and was often seen around court trying to secure the affections of one Lady or another. Upon his fathers death Lord Royce II was granted his fathers lands and wealth, which he quickly gambled to the point of loss. He approached King Carlisle for help and as a favour to an old friend he was allowed to keep his lands and work off his debts buy serving in the Cullenthan army. He was awarded rank below Edward and Jasper under Emmett's command. Emmett enjoyed sending him out to do his bidding giving him tasks he wouldn't even offer the lowest soldier. He couldn't have Lord Royce believing he was of even standing with either of his brothers.
Jasper was tall like Emmett but not as built he was agile and those who came across him were often deceived by his appearance. When challenged Jasper could be extremely deadly and would attack like a viper making quick work of his opponents. Emmett had considered Jasper his brother since he began training with him, but it was made official after he caught the eye of Alice, Emmett's sister and the two of them were wed.
He was quiet and calm. Handsome with his light blonde hair and tanned skin from constant marches in the sun. His calm nature could be a god send as he would always give an air of calm in tense situations allowing him to think more clearly.
Edward, Emmett's younger brother was well built and athletic a true warrior, he was handsome and charming and always had women to comfort him, however since marrying the beautiful Bella he has calmed his ways and only ever wishes to be in her company, she owned his heart from the moment they met and he wed her a month after first meeting her. Edward was a fine swordsman however his true skill lay in his logic and keen mind. With these he could create flawless strategies. The three men were never without each other and as such had easily created and army of impeccable power.
Lord Royce returned with a message from King Caius to say he would meet with them this evening. As the sun began to set Emmett and his brothers began their decent to the Voltura castle.
