A Wingly's Tale: From Lloyd's point of view.
She walked by me and I caught a sweet whiff of her scent. I so much wanted to follow her, and abandon my position and my duties at the Black Castle. I couldn't abandon my plan -and Emporor D, another one of my pawns in the palm of my hand.
I gathered my purchases and left, out to stalk the woman I've fell in love with again and again, always from a distance, never closer than that
She had followers, bodyguards, groupies, on her tail. This intrigued me. A lady of high importance she must be, and of much wealth as well. She was a prize in the midst of these common folk, and walked the streets as if she wasn't. Beautiful was she -the one and only love of my life.
I'd seen her before, when sent to Tiberoa to do what His Majesty insists. To see her in Sandora was a treat indeed. Her presence made my stomach go berserk and my hormones wild. She didn't even know I existed…
But soon she -as well as every other soul on this world, wingly and human alike- will know the fullest extent of my power.
Chapter One
This Wingly Wants Some Recognition!
At the Border of Seles
The horses ran without holding back towards the Basil town of Seles. Emperor Doel had given the men orders to sabotage the town. That wasn't enough for me, let alone my plan. I, as the Great Commander, added the order to kidnap the girl. What was her name…? Shana.
The men drove their steeds into the heart of Seles. I'd have to say, sabotage is what Imperial Sandora does best. The town would be nothing but wreckage when we had finished with it. They carried out their orders perfectly; Orders to kill, and to burn.
But of course, I was much more interested in the finding of the girl. This was my first priority in order to get my plan going. The world would be in the palm of my hand before anyone knew of it. I had entrusted one of the elites to find the girl and bring her to me. The other elites call him Bob, so I assume that would be his name. We have become good acquaintances, though if he did not return with the girl, I -or rather Doel- would be off with his head.
Luckily, he returned with the girl safe in his arms. She wasn't what I had expected, though what I did -I dunno. She wasn't more than seventeen or eighteen years in age, and kind of cute, I guess… for a human. The mayor's daughter… so this is her.
"So this is her." Bob stated, in his booming deep voice. I watched him with an impassive stare as he laid her down on the ground, afterwards fumbling for something in his large mass of bulking leathers. The stone. 'Soa, don't tell me he has forgotten it-' I almost swore under my breath, very much relieved when I saw the white stone glinting from both the moonlight and the light of the fiery village. My whole plan would have been completely ruined if not for that one very important factor. 'Thank Goddess.'
The big man held the stone just above the girl's forehead. A column of white light appeared between the stone and the human girl's delicate forehead. The twang of magic nipped at my senses. Again, 'Thank Goddess.' All going according to plan.
When he had finished, he carefully put the stone back inside his leathers. Bob picked her up gently and lifted her figure lightly onto my stallion. She was asleep, or knocked out, or perhaps even both, and clung to the back of my midnight-black horse. I began to wonder if Bob had a daughter.
"Great Commander, is this really necessary?" He asked me as our legion was preparing to leave that small village that was now a burning pile of ruins.
"It is," I replied, in my usual impassive monotone I usually used when speaking with the troops, "-of His Majesty Emperor Doel's command." Of course, most of it wasn't, but there was a hint of truth in that. Bob didn't need to know the whole truth. Not even Emperor Doel. What I could tell His Majesty is that Shana was just a hostage taken during the raid. No harm done.
"But-" Bob started. I glared at him.
"It is not of your concern." I mounted my horse (whom I have suitably named Midnight) behind the girl, then pressing my heels into her flanks. She ran off, thus starting for Hellena.
We rode through the forests in the depths of night, the only sound was the one of the hooves against the soft ground, and isolated hard breathing. The girl didn't arouse until we stopped at Hellena, which was a good thing on my part.
The warden on duty let down the wooden drawbridge, it creaking as the rusted chins let it down. It hit the ground with a thud. They let us pass -Me, and the girl. The rest of our horde kept on riding through the gap in the mountains.
Once inside the island prison, I dismounted and took the girl in my arms, bracing myself for the many flights of stairs ahead, until I reached the prison cells. She wasn't that heavy, but the Hellena stairwells had always proved to be a workout.
Upon reaching the cell, I paused to let out a deep breath. A workout it certainly was. Looking around, I could see several wardens gambling and downing booze inside and empty cell. A set of keys was hanging just inside, so I reached my hand through the bars and grabbed the key ring. They wouldn't be needing it.
Unfortunately, this was the point in which she awoke. She wrestled out of my arms, and ran for it. "Takasi!" I swore, in the forbidden tongue of the Winglies. I began to chase after her, gaining on her with speed. However, as Shana went to run down the stairs, several of Hellena's senior wardens appeared. Taking her by the wrists, they shoved her into a cell.
They made fun by throwing things at her, but I stalked away, preferring not to humiliate the poor human girl further. I went to go make a note to Freungul, the head warden, not to let any harm come to her, under penalty of death.
