Hi everyone! Here is chapter 15. Please let me know what you think! Thanks
to all who have reviewed and please keep reviewing! For the record, there
was never Irish Mythology but Gaelic. Just wanted to make that clear.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha nor do I make a profit off of it. The plot is mine though and some of the characters came out of me head (yes, I know it should my, it is a joke!).
Chapter 15- ÈtaÃn and Fréalaf
" It was as I said before, they met when Fréalaf was traveling to meet all the of the Great Lords, thus, building alliances. For Lord Lir took a liking to your father, and asked him to stay a while and get to know his lands. Your father accepted, for Lir was one of the most powerful Lords, and being friends was of great advantage. The King called none other than his own daughter to show Prince Fréalaf around.."
"Wait a second, my father's name is Fréalaf? What to do ya mean by calling him prince?" Inuyasha interrupted again, as Inuyasha often does. Sesshomaru on the other hand, said nothing.He just stood there, frozen in place, listening.
Earth had now been accustomed to Inuyasha's mouth and replied, " Yes, this is the name I know your father by. May I continue, Inuyasha?" Earth asked him with a smile on her face.
Inuyasha looked down his nose,turning a new color of red. "Feh, not that I care." Inuyasha looked to the side, only to be met by Kagome's cold stare. Inuyasha mumbled under his breath.
"What was that, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him as she narrowed her gaze at him.
Inuyasha looked everywhere,but at Kagome. "Sorry." He finally mumbled.
Kagome seemed satisfied with that, and turned her attention towards Earth,once again.
Earth only smiled at the couple. "Alright, here we go, again.
Lord Lir sent his guards out to find Princess ÈtaÃn. He had taking a great liking to this young prince, he happened to have some of the best blood, even if he was a demon. It was not unheard of Elves and Demons marrying. 'This is just what I have been looking for, a marriage between my daughter and this prince of demon blood. My daughter has no intention of marrying, but by this marriage, I will once again be the top Lord, and have alliances with demons, who will come to our aid if war ever breaks out.' Lord Lir smiled knowingly to himself. Fréalaf looked at Lir curiously, he was about to ask him why he smiled,but the doors burst open. He turned to look as the guards came in.
A guard stepped forward and bowed to Lir and Fréalaf. "My Lord, we found Princess......." He was saying but someone shoved past him Fréalaf stood there his mouth agape, as he stared at this wild creature before him. Her eyes flashed an emerald green as she looked at them in anger. He could tell her hair was a golden color, but it was soaking wet, as if she had been swimming. Her chin was small, and stubborn.There was not a flaw to her perfect face, only the anger that consumed her eyes. " Why have you called?" The young woman spat angrily.
Lir looked disaprovingly at his daughter. She hated the affairs of court and being summoned here. He looked down at her garments, and her overall appearance, and shook his head. 'This is no princess I am afraid,how will I ever convince this prince to marry her? If not for her beauty, I am afraid all hope would be lost.' Her hair was dripping and soaking his expensive rugs, and sticking out at every angle, from the ride to the castle. Her clothes were not of the beautiful dresses she had,but plain breeches and a loose shirt. "ÈtaÃn, this is Prince Fréalaf, I wish for you to show him our lands, but please go clean and up, and look proper for a change."
ÈtaÃn was about to hiss something at him but instead studied this stranger. She knew of the look that he gave her, one that so many lords and princes before him had given her. His hair was of a color she had never seen before on her own kin, it was silver, the same color of the stones that decorated their shores. " Celeb ren." She whispered. His eyes were golden and another color she had never seen before on any of the strangers that visited here. He also had somewhat of pointed ears,but not like hers. 'At least it is a pleasure to look at him.The women must fawn over him.' She thought to herself. " May I ask, exactly what are you and where do you come from?"
Fréalaf was in awe looking at this being before him. Never in all of his travels had he seen a lady as fair as the one before him. He heard her whisper something in her own tongue. " My name is Fréalaf, I come from the Western Lands, my father's time is fading and I will be ruling shortly. My family orgin is of Inu demon blood. May I ask, fair lady, what is your name, and what did you whisper?"
ÈtaÃn looked at him curiously for a moment then answered. " My name is ÈtaÃn, and I said silver in hue, I was refering to your hair.I have never seen the color before. Inu, if I am correct that means dog?"
Fréalaf smiled at her. " I see you know your history. Would you do me the honor of escorting me around the castle, fair lady? I feel as though I have strayed into a dream."
ÈtaÃn raised an eyebrow at his words. " Quit fawning me." She glanced at her father. ' He's got something up is sleeve.' Her cold glare at her father brought her father to raise an eyebrow. " I wear what I wish. For the record, these are not mens' clothes. I will not dress like some helpless damsel in distress when I ride, or explore for that matter." Her eyes turned an ice blue, as she glared coldly at him, daring him to argue.
Lir spoke before she could ask somehing that he did not want his guest to hear. " ÈtaÃn, if would also teach him some of our language? He will be here for a while."
By the look in his eyes, she knew she had to do this. " I accept, my lord." With that she bowed to him, and spoke to Fréalaf. " Since my lord persists, I must go change. I will come to your chambers in an hours time, and take you where ever you wish to go." She turned and exited the chambers.
Fréalaf noted the color her eyes had changed.He was going to ask the King about the dramatic change of her eyes,but decided against it. ' I will ask her myself.' " I myself must go clean up." Fréalaf said. Lir smiled and asked, " Do you like her? Get to know her during in your stay here.If I am not mistaken, to become a Lord you must take a wife?"
Fréalaf glanced at Lir and asked him, " Are you being facetious? You offer her to me freely? I know I am of advantage to you,but is it that great? What of her decision? She does not seem like one to be caged?"
Lir chuckled softly. " I am not being facetious, I speak truly. You have no idea the power we would have if the two of you were to wed. You are right about her, but she must be married someday.I shall chose her husband for her. Her mother passed away years ago. ÈtaÃn is much older than she looks, as you are too. We Elves have immortality as you have it also. I must wed again or take a mistress, so I may have a son. There must be a son to rule. You have a while to make your choice. You may take your leave now. I will send someone for you when I wish to speak with you. Now go."
Fréalaf bowed to him and left quickly. For he was very eager to meet with the Princess
