Thanks to Veronica Violet for requesting Wreathkyrie; here it is! I wasn't really sure how to approach it, but if you like it and want more, I might consider doing more parts in it. Or another Wreathkyrie drabble; whatever's chosen.
Also, I was thinking of introducing something new to my chapters, details will be at the bottom of this chapter, as I appreciate that there's a lot of writing up here before it starts.
Replies to my amazingly talented and unique reviewers;
Berlin: Thanks, I've just finished writing it so will post it up soon- thanks again for the idea! And I agree- symmetry, and everything else to do with Ghastly- is important. ;) thank for the reviews!
Libertied Insanity: thank you! And we all have our bad spelling days ;) and my IPad does that as well- it just replaces some words with other random ones. I remember once it replaced 'Darquesse' with 'Dark Weasel' ... Don't ask -_- lol good thing i proof-read! And no, sorry, I don't watch 'the hundred'! And I am planning something very interesting with Sanguine, but that won't be for a while. It will, SPOILER, involve romance... ;) lol I can just imagine you bowing and waving like the queen or something haha, and I might be able to fit it in somewhere... Sauna sounds great! And I love that idea as well! Thank you again!
Val's 18
"Excellent work," praised Solomon Wreath, as he watched his student Valkyrie Cain manipulate the shadows of the graveyard, sending them hurtling as sharp-tipped daggers into the surrounding air, narrowly missing Solomon himself. This particular trick she had picked up within ten minutes, even though the best of Necromancers spent days perfecting it.
"I think that's enough for tonight," he called, and Valkyrie obediently lowered the shadows, and they retracted back into her ring. She walked over to him.
"I am proud of you, Valkyrie," Solomon said. "You are fast excelling in Necromancy, and I look forward to seeing what you become as a result. Your potential is... magnificent."
"Thanks," she said, blushing. Wreath noticed a flash of sadness cross her features. She spoke again.
"We...Solomon, Skulduggery wants me to stop my Necromancy lessons."
"What?" said Solomon, shocked. "But you're doing so well." He didn't want her to stop training with him- she was his favourite student, much better than the half-wits he'd mentored previously. Also, he felt that they had a connection, and a special relationship that existed between them. He knew that she felt it, too.
"I know," she said, and Wreath glimpsed tears in her eyes, "but he keeps making all these excuses and points like I'll need to settle in a discipline soon so I should only focus on one, and then he says that it's because I don't want to take Elemental, but I say no, I love Elemental magic..."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"I just don't want our lessons to stop," she said, a tear slipping down her face. Wreath stepped closer to her, and gently wiped the tear away. She looked up, into his dark eyes, that sat upon his pale face. He was handsome, so handsome, especially when bathed in the moonlight. His black hair fell across one eye, and she slowly brushed it back as she leaned in, and then their lips met.
Their kiss turned deeper, and Valkyrie subconsciously put her arms around his neck, while his hands went to her waist. He pulled back slightly after a minute.
"Valkyrie," he murmured, "this is wrong..."
"I love you, Solomon Wreath," she whispered.
"I love you, too, Valkyrie Cain," he said, and rested his forehead against hers. "What about Skulduggery?"
"He doesn't have to find out," she said, smiling. She knew that if he did, he would target Solomon and make sure he didn't get out alive.
"He will- he found out about the vampire, didn't he?"
"This is different. We train together, I can use that as an excuse," she said defiantly.
Wreath leaned in and kissed her again, going deeper than before. The two lovers remained entwined under the pale moonlight until the sun came and chased the darkness away.
Please review your feedback on this chapter, and whether you want more parts or more Wreathkyries, or if this should just be left as a one-shot. Thanks!
I came across a Skulduggery Pleasant 30 Days Challenge (by 'lordvileindisguise'), and it basically has a different question every day about your opinion on Skulduggery Pleasant. I really liked it, and so I thought that I would incorporate it into my stories, and that I'd ask two questions per update, and my answers will be written under it in italics.
I've included my own questions in it as well, replacing some of the questions I thought were a bit... Meh. If anyone wants to use my version of the questions, please ask first!
I'm really interested to find out what you guys all think, so please review with your answers! I'm also posting this on my other story, and there will also be two questions per update.
Q1: Who's your favourite character?
Ummm either Anton or Ghastly. Lol funny how both of them were killed by the same person, at the same time. Umm agh I can't choose! Anton! No, Ghastly! No, Anton! Okay, Anton.
Q2: Who's your least favourite character?
Either the reflection or China, off the top of my head. Ummm the reflection.
Please review with your responses! As well as your opinions on the Drabble. Thank you!
