That night Peter had a strange dream. Of looking over a strange yet beautiful city, but not one in any of the known lands. Yet something was very familiar about as well the sensation when he leaped off the tall building he was on and dove towards the ground far below and when it seemed he was destined to splattered on the ground Peter saw a arm that was his arm wearing a strange red and blue outfit covered in web patterns. The hand preform a strange hand gesture much how the sorcerers of Kamar Taj would do only with the thumb sticking outwards and speaking of sticky from his wrist came a strand of webbing that stuck to a building and instead of falling he was swinging through the city. That's when he woke up.
Peter awoke with two beautiful women snuggled against him and past events returned to his sleeping mind. 'My life has changed so fast.' Peter thought as he looked at the sky outside the window and saw that the sun hasn't risen. Yet Peter decided he needed some fresh air and managed to extracted himself from between the ladies got dress head out into Briarwood city.
The stars above began disappearing as the light of dawn began coloring the sky as Peter began walking through the city of Briarwood and could see the signs of neglect particularly in the outer parts close to the walls and his stomach clenched as he came upon square where he had lived with his Aunt and Uncle before going to the Academy. "Not pretty as it once was, huh." Spoke a voice and Peter turned to see a bright red hair man with a cane and a red blindfold over his eyes. "Matt?" Peter said recognizing the voice of his old friend Matt Murdock. "What happened to you?"
"Oh this…" Matt said indicating his blindfold. "Potion explosion accident." He said as if it was nothing. "I didn't know." Peter said feeling guilty. "It alright Pete. You could say it was a blessing in disguise." Peter raised an eyebrow. "But your dream?" Matt had wanted to be come a square the type that helps people with legal issues or represent someone in court. Also called Lawyers. "I fulfilled it. I founded a Law firm with Foggy Nelson and we represent for the good people of Queens in the matters of the court." Murdock said smiling.
"That wonderful Matt." Peter said feeling real happiness for his friend, yet still trouble by his thoughts. "Care to discuss what is troubling you old friend?" Matt asked and Peter sighed. "As you know I just been named Jarl of Queens old friend. When I graduated from the academy my only desire was to protect and serve the people of the land as a knight. Not sitting on a throne."
Matt smiled. "Here some advice Peter. You decide what type of Jarl you choose to be. Some prefer sitting on throne and give orders to those they serve and some do good work. While others take a more proactive role. Serving their people by interacting with them. If you need help old friend just ask." Peter nodded. "Then what do you suggest my first actions as Jarl should be?"
"First by providing for your people. Like preventing church from taking all the grain today and leaving the people with nothing to plant for next year or eat to survive to that next year." Peter's eyes widen. "Show me." So Matt lead him towards the grain storage where men were loading two carts full of grain sacks over seen by an Abbot and a woman who look like a gypsy, the latter with a sad disappointment on her face. "That's Abbot Claude Frollo and Esmeralda." Whispered Matt to Peter who of course knew the former and did not like him.
"Stop." Peter called and they look at him. "You will unload these carts immediately and not deprive the people of their grains."
"I'm afraid you don't understand Sir." Said Abbot Frollo smugly. "I have an agreement with the Jarl to take the grain for the church." Peter's eyes narrowed. "The old Jarl you mean who is also a traitor to the crown which means your agreement is forfeit." Esmeralda smiled. She was a beautiful woman. She had medium brown skin that glisten in the sun light like her bright green eyes and the golden hoop in her left ear, her long raven-black hair was tied back with a pink ribbon while she wore a white top with a teal and gold bodice, that showed she was well endowed, along with a purple sarong and white petticoat. The woman had a golden bangle on her left wrist, and right ankle just above black flat shoes on her feet. strange bracelet with a green gem on her right wrist that Peter could sense strange energy from. Though their breasts were about the same size as Saleya's that look ready to pot free from her top. Yet there was something about her.
Abbot Frollo face became filled with anger. "And who are you to command me?" Peter had met men like this Abbot who didn't care about truly doing God's work in serving the people only about rising through the ranks of the church in hopes of gaining favor of his supreme holiness no matter how many people suffered and before Peter wouldn't have the authority to stop men like him. Yet now he did. "I'm Jarl Peter Parker just appointed to the role yesterday by Princess Sue Storm herself, which you clearly missed the announcement. And so by authority I order you to return the grain back to the people."
Fortunately the men loading the grain got the message and started unloading the grain back into the storage building while Frollo looked livid. "And what am I supposed to bring back to the priory and his holiness?" He asked through gritted teeth.
"The knowledge that the people of Queens will be able to feed their children, which will give them strength to endure the winter and produce more enough during the next harvest to donate to the church without forfeiting that they need for themselves." Said Esmeralda firmly and with a smirk. "Be Silence Gypsy Scum!" Peter's head buzzed and his hand shot out immediately to grab the Abbot's wrist right before the back of his palm could strike Esmeralda's cheek. He twisted the man's wrist making him give a cry of pain.
"A man of the cloth is supposed to never strike out in anger, especially on a woman no matter how trigger they may make him." Peter said firmly gripping Frollo's wrist tightly. "You defend these Gypsy Scum then…" Once again the other sense flared as Frollo pulled a dagger from his habit and attempted to stab Peter. "Die wi-." But then the dagger was whacked from the Abbot's hand by Matt's cane before it struck the back of Frollo's neck knocking him out.
He slumped to the ground and Peter gestured for some nearby guards. "You saw?" They nodded. "Take him to the dungeon but not the cell with the big hole and when he wake read him his Rights." The guards nodded and picked up Frollo, carrying him away. Peter looked at Matt and Esmeralda the latter stepping up to him. "Thank you my Jarl. I am Esmeralda and I'm at your service." She curtsy and Peter gave her a small bow. "Peter Parker. It's pleasure. May I ask you and Matt to join me in the castle for breakfast?" The raven hair Gypsy looped her arm with Peter's. "It would be my pleasure."
Peter face felt hot as Esmeralda's breasts pressed against his arm as they headed back to the castle where they found Mary Jane and Saleya waiting in the dining hall. "Hello Matt, Esmeralda." The redhead said smiling at the two. "So no need for introductions." Peter said with a smirk as they sat down at the table. "Not really. Since Murdock is one heck of a lawyer and Esmeralda runs the Semi Permanent Gypsy camp as well a fortune teller shop." Saleya said smiling.
"Yes and they been helping try to help the people of Queens under the Formal Jarl." Mary Jane said sipping her tea. "Now we actually do the helping." Peter nodded taking a bite of the waffle. "So where do you all suggested as Jarl I should start." He asked. "We'll save me and locking up that bastard Frollo is a good start especially for your first day." Esmeralda said smiling at Peter her green eyes sparkling in the light that came through the window. "I also know of the location of bandit camps that been terrorizing local villages that need to be taken care of."
Peter as a knight like the sound of that but then he remembered he was a Jarl now. Luckily Mary Jane read his expression and said. "I can handle the everyday business and dispute when you're not here." Matt nodded. "That she can and I'll help with any legal issues that pops up."
