Koriand'R
Chapter 5.
Koriand'R walked through the halls of the castle, passing by her Father's corridors, when she stopped and over heard her father talking to the grand counsel. "So it's settled, we will fight them." She overheard them agree.
She gasped and backed up into someone's form; startled she quickly turned around to see it was Kokam'R. "Koriand'R isn't it wonderful; we will get rid of those white demons once and for all." He spoke with a fisted hand.
In a panic she barged into the room and addressed the king. "Father!"
"Koriand'R, what is the matter?"
"Father we don't need to fight them, there has to be a better way."
"If only there was daughter." He sighed.
"Father-"
"Koriand'R, we are warriors and we will do what we must to protect our kind."
"What if we were to talk to them?"
"I think you know as well as I do that they don't want to talk."
"But what if one did? Would you listen?"
He sighed and took a minute before responding, "Yes, but you know as well as I do that that won't happen."
"Grayson! Where have you been?!" Slade demanded to know.
"I um… was scouting."
"Great, so you know where the aliens live. We will need that information for when we attack."
"Attack!?"
"Yes, it's time we get rid of these savages." Slade said with a closed fist.
"What?! That was never the plan!"
"That you knew of." Slade informed him with a smirk.
"You can't do this, they live here!" Richard objected.
"Since when do you give a crap about the aliens?"
"We're the aliens here. This is their land, and we can't take it from them!" Richard yelled.
Slade smirked again. "Sounds like you have talked to one of them."
"So what if I have." Richard said indifferently.
Slade sneered getting up in Richard's face, "They've made you soft."
Richard gritted his teeth in anger before turning and walking away. He stomped out of the captain's corridors and shoved between Victor and Garfield before leaving the camp site. "Geez what's his problem." Garfield asked before stopping and looking up at his tall captain.
"Mister Stone, Mister Logan, I want you two to follow him and make certain he doesn't come in contact with any aliens."
"Yes sir?" They said in confusion before running after Richard.
Komand'R walked up to her sister's room and knocked the door. "Koriand'R, mother insists you eat something, like you'll starve to death." She nagged under her breath before opening the door, just to see her sister was gone. "Out again I see." She smirked and shut the door before walking towards Kokam'R's station. "Kokam'R!" Komand'R shrieked as she ran towards him.
"Komand'R what's wrong?"
"It's Koriand'R, she gone!"
"What!" He furrowed his brow and bolted out the kingdom's doors in pursuit after her, leaving behind a satisfied smirking Komand'R.
Koriand'R looked around waiting desperately for… "Richard!" She beamed and ran towards him bolting into his arms as he embraced her.
"Koriand'R, it's horrible, my men are preparing to attack…"
"I know my father is too."
"I tried talking to my captain but he's, he's a monster."
"Maybe it's not too late to stop this; we just need to talk to my father." She encouraged.
"Koriand'R, I don't think that will work." He sighed.
"But, but what are we going to do?" She said nestling up to him as he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
"Only when the fighting stops can you two truly be together." X'Hal whispered, circling the wind around them.
The couple pulled away and looked at one another. Richard stared at the girl before him, seeing fear trace her green eyes, but yet a glimmer of hope. "Okay, let's go talk to your father." He said with a smile and Koriand'R beamed before bolting forward and kissing him deeply and passionately. And they held that kiss with no sign of stopping as arms wrapped around one another, unaware they were being watched from both ends.
Victor and Garfield watched with open mouths and shocked faces while on the other end Kokam'R watched with a furious pout, until he couldn't take it anymore and bolted forward, his dagger ready to kill! He pounced Richard and Koriand'R screamed. "Kokam'R No!" Richard fell on his back trying hard to hold off the strong, angry Tamarain. Koriand'R quickly jumped on Kokam'R's back and reached for his dagger when he elbowed her in the face, knocking her back. Victor ran forward and grabbed her before she fell as he yelled for Garfield to help, and in that panic Garfield grabbed his gun and shot Kokam'R in the chest! And for that second everything stood still…
