Riyash jolted awake as a loud crack of thunder shattered the peace and quiet. Rain began coming down in earnest outside, and the wind howled through the trees in the gardens. He wouldnât be surprised to find downed branches or tree limbs in the paths tomorrow.
The storms heâd encountered in Votgardt or Caerva were hardly this intense. He turned over to lay on his back and inadvertently woke his sleeping partner.
âThunder wake you up?â Ariyos inquired.
Riyash envied how alert he sounded.
âHow the hell do you sleep through this once itâs woken you up?â Riyash replied.
He felt Ariyos shrug beside him.
âIâve always been able to,â he responded. âDid you sleep through any storms in Veltan?â
âWell⌠I could. However, that was because the previous owner of an apartment my sister and I shared used some sort of spell to block all outside noise,â Riyash replied. âWe were still working on how to remove the spell whenâŚâ
ââŚwhen you two were kidnapped and taken to Votgardt?â Ariyos finished for him.
It was too dark to see the terecoâs face, despite laying so close together that their shoulders nearly touched. Riyash nodded.
the mental image wouldnât leave me, or, a drabble I will probably never expand on:
âWhat did you do?â Ariyos asked. He set the book he was reading aside and looked at Riyash intently.
âI exposed himâŚâ Riyash began blithely.
He leaned the chair he was sitting in back farther against the wall, the heels of his feet resting against the outward corner of the wall. He held Azarâs small harp in his hands and plucked at the strings absently. He had no idea how to play the instrument, but he enjoyed the sounds he created nonetheless.
ââŚfor the lazy bum he was,â he finished.
A final pluck of a string, and he lost his balance and crashed to the floor. The harp flew out of his hands and landed somewhere in the room, and if it werenât for the stars in his eyes, Riyash would glare at the bark of laughter that Ariyos had let out.
Title: Mission - escort hostage prince out of country. Failed Step One.
accept this late, very humble offering that i wrote last week.
there are two other parts but idk if i should post them since they donât... fit, even though they reveal who the mystery person is.
Ariyos heard the curtains rustle before he saw the shadow. He barely had time to react before he was forcefully shoved against a large dresser by an unknown assailant. Pain lanced through Ariyosâs lower back, but he pushed them off. The assailantâs foot tripped him up as he attempted to run away and he fell hard onto the carpet. Ariyos quickly rolled onto his back, but before he could defend himself or even try to get up, the assailant was on top of him andâ
They ripped off the cloth covering the lower half of their face.
Ariyos gasped in shock. He knew them. At the same time, he didnât. The strangerâs long, thin face was covered with a neatly trimmed beard, and their brown eyes had bags of exhaustion underneath. This close, Ariyos could see traces of kohl on their lower eyelids that had been imperfectly removed. They could have passed for Florinâs younger brother, orâ
A child. Ariyos now knew who this was. The whispers at court, the ones that said Florin had reportedly fathered a child before marrying Erlas Gracia, proved true. ExceptâŚ
âI know you. I donât know your name, but Iâve seen you in Caerva, in the crowds during important events at court. But you usually have very gaudy, ahâŚâ
Ariyos mimed painting an eyelid. The stranger let out an annoyed sigh.
âYouâve never noticed I was impersonating one of Tereca Annikaâs servants?â they questioned brusquely. At Ariyosâs confusion, they shook their head. âThat doesnât matter now. Florin sent me. The two of us need to leave Trovska by first light.â
They rolled off Ariyos and got to their feet, but they didnât bother helping him up. He had no time to dwell on that, or the fact that this stranger hadnât addressed Florin properly. Ariyos scrambled to his feet and took a step back.
âNo. Thatâs impossible.â
âFlorin explicitly stated that I had to get you and your gryphon out of the country without the Trovan pretenderâs knowledge.â the stranger whispered fiercely. âDo you know how worried your sister is? This is the only chance we have to smuggle you out without provoking an invasion.â
âI know how worried my sister must be. But Iâm not leaving.â Ariyos replied. âIâm not abandoning Ingelip-Elect Eba in her quest to take back her throne. Iâm supporting her until itâs over.â
The stranger looked stunned. Before Ariyos could blink, they had grabbed the front of his tunic and slammed him hard against the nearest wall. Pain erupted on the back of Ariyosâs head, and he blinked past the tears that had formed to clear the stars from his eyes.
âWhat the fuck am I supposed to tell Florin now?! Do you realize just how hard the Erlas is fighting to bring you home?â the stranger snapped. âYou could die if the Ingelip-Elect fails!â
Ariyos took a deep breath to steady himself. He pried the strangerâs hands off him.
âIâm prepared to accept that, and Iâm sorry youâre going back without me. But I want you to take this back with you instead.â
He sidestepped the stranger, who followed him with wary eyes as he approached the bed and got down to the floor. Crawling backwards underneath the frame, Ariyos thought he heard the stranger approach the bed and stop at the side table. After a few minutes of searching, during which he could have sworn he heard a drawer open and close, he found what he was looking for and crawled back out, clutching a thick sheaf of letters in his hand. The stranger was waiting for him, leaning with their back against the wall. They were pulling uncomfortably at their beard, but they stopped when they saw the letters.
âPlease take these to Florin in my place. I want Gracia to look at these at well,â Ariyos stated. He got to his feet and brushed himself off with one hand. âThe contents are extremely important.â
The stranger snatched the letters out of their hand and shoved them inside their tunic. They turned to leave but stopped and looked back at him.
âWord of advice. You shouldnât be so obvious with your relationship to that Veltan man. Youâre supposed to be wooing Ingelip Annika, not wooing the Veltan.â
Ariyos looked mildly shocked at their knowledge into his private life, but he quickly recovered. âGracia and Ingelip Annika already know I prefer men.â The stranger raised their eyebrow, and then dashed toward the door just as Ariyos realized his mistake. âWait!â
He raced after them, but the stranger had already opened the door and shut it behind them. Ariyos cursed the well-oiled hinges and the spell Riyash had put on the door, because there was no sound as the door slammed shut. Heaving an aggravated sigh, he shuffled over to the side table and opened the top drawer, just to make sure he hadnât hallucinated hearing it open earlier.
The clear bottle Riyash had passed to him in the library was gone. Ariyos sank to the floor and groaned.
