“ You are the ocean's gray waves destined to seek. Life beyond the shore just out of reach ”

    Raigh didn't remember there being a flowerbed in this part of Askr's Castle. Blossoms of various colors greeted him in this remote area, and while it wasn't a surprise that SOMEONE would start sprucing it up in their own way, it's a bit... disconcerting to see Idunn be the one tending to them.

“ Hey, you. ” He doubts she'll actually pay attention to him just from that address, so he approaches closer to her until he's just a pace or two away from her. He figures if that she's the one taking care of these blooms, then maybe a change to them would make her notice his presence so he plucks one of the flowers out of the soil.

“ I've got a word to have with you, so let's chat. ”

The wind’s caress through the trees carried a scent that the young kitsune had never experienced before, the scent was unique and it smelled so good. Her grey jewels seem to glow a light amber with a sudden wave of excitement striking her slender and curved frame. Her custard blonde ears twitched as she began to hone in on the sounds that came with this unique scent. Her nose crinkled a few times as a hum escapes her lips, followed by a giggle as her eyes reopened with the sheen of excitement.

Target. Acquired.

The princess of Kitsunes climbed up a tree and walked her away to the center of a thick branch; her tail waving about her frame as she began to search for her “prey”. The kitsune began to leap from tree to tree using the branches to make her hunt be swifter. Selkie lands on a thick tree limb that now viewed a small clearing; her eyes drank in the sight of a young man adorned in light armor riding upon a horse. Wiggling her arse she began to purr and trill in mild excitement, with a leap she began to glide through the air hopping onto the back of the horse before placing her hand upon the boy’s shoulder and flipping in front of him. Coming to rest upon the front of his horse and her eyes met with his.

Hey everyone, so due to work I wasn’t able to get to replies/drafts/starters and so forth. I will be away from April 17th returning to April 26th. Where will I be you ask? I’m going to be in Colorado on vacation finally meeting my best friend and roleplay partner of 5+ years. I will be available on discord at renais#4869 and through IMs on both blogs. ( Temnadolya & Tmavakrasa ) 

Grey amber hues fixate on the elder kitsune with wonder and admiration, there came a soft trill as she trailed behind him. The kit had begged for him to let her come with him to the kitsune village to see the lights; the little girl wobbled on her feet when she rocked on her heels a little too long. “Daddy~ Do you know how excite I am~?” Selkie chimes, her small lithe hands reaching out and clasping on to his sash. She loved spending time with her father when ever he was able to come visit her. She hated being away from him for too long and often caused a fuss when it was time for them to part ways.

But finally there came an opportunity for her to experience their world beyond the deeprealms. It made the girl’s fur flick and rise with eagerness; the thought of playing with possible kitsunes her age. To listen to her father’s stories, to climb in his lap and have a good nap. Yes. It was a dream for the girl. A gasp escaped the kit’s lips and she released her hold on her father’s sash when she spotted something amazing. She pulls away from him and trots over to her finding.

The vast castle walls always seemed dark and suffocating to the girl; never did her home feel like it was a place of wonder. A place where a child could dream and marvel, to explore and feel excitement every day. This was a castle where dreams never came true; it was a place where dreams died in the harshest of ways. Yet in this grand castle and the pillars stood tall shielding the small cloaked form of a simple princess. A princess who longed for companionship, and adventure. A different life than the one she had been cursed with.

Azure hues swept about warily before the young princess slipped down the corridors trying to reach the gardens; her heart palpitated with fear of being caught. If she could just get to the gardens and get the brief taste of fresh air. She would be content for the rest of the day; coming to the end of the hall she peers around the corner to take in the guards patrolling. All she would have to do now was wait a few minutes for them to pass down the left and she could sneak along to her destination.

Opportunity presents itself in seconds. Her eyes brightened with excitement and delight, lithe hands take hold of the sides of her dress as she sprints downward, her eyes fixating on the door that led to the outside. Reaching outward, the handles were almost within her grasp as a hand snatches her up by the left wrist and with a firm yank the girl released a yelp. Her hood falling about her features revealing her ivory locks that were pulled into a hasty side ponytail; her once delighted eyes were now filled with fear.

They met with the harsh sapphires of her mother whose macabre locks danced about her face like a spider lady; her eyes grew dark with rage and her voice rang out into the air as cold and sharp as ice. “Ishtar what in Fjalar’s name are you doing?!” She growls yanking her daughter closer to her; causing the princess to stumble a little and tripping over her cloak into her mother. “I-I want to see... the gardens.” Ishtar exclaims, the fear consuming her child heart. The sound of the slap echoed in the hallway followed by the small cry that ensued with it; tears stung Ishtar’s eyes as she rubbed her aching cheek.

“Why do you have to be so insolent? What have I told you about going outside. Ishtar, you test my patience. I implore you stop such disobedience.” Hilda growls out yanking her daughter away from the garden’s entrance. “Now let us be on our way, we are late because of your actions. You are to be meeting your personal guard today; or did that slip your mind as well? Hmm?!” Hilda adds continuing her verbal abuse of her daughter; the child immediately grew quiet feeling the strikes of defeat and pain striking her.

“I’m sorry mother. It will not happen again.” She murmurs ceasing her resistance as she was dragged towards the grand living space; the doors swung open as Hilda steps forth pushing Ishtar in first. The girl takes in those standing in the room; most of them were grown men gathered around one another with but a young boy perhaps only a few years ahead of Ishtar in age standing particularly close to one man. She assumed it was his father.

“We apologize for the delay, my daughter had lost track of time.” Hilda speaks to the men; Ishtar glances back to her mother with a simple frown. Her gaze shifts back to the men and boy.

“Y-Yes, I apologize for making you all wait. It was terribly rude of me, it will not happen again.” She speaks feeling obligated to apologize, Hilda’s hand comes to rest upon Ishtar’s shoulder. “Ishtar, this young man here is to be your bodyguard. His name is Reinhardt if I recall. Aren’t you honored to meet him?” she says to her daughter, Ishtar looks to the boy with a simple gaze.

Amber eyes brightened at the sight of the elder kitsune, a gasp escaped the young kit as her pale tail flicked in excitement. It swiftly began to wag ferociously, her ears drew back and soon her arms threw around his hipline the moment he was near enough to pounce upon. 

“Daddy! Daddy, you’re here! You came to see me! Did you bring me something shiny? Or soft!? I’ve been sooooo good! I swear it!” the seven-year-old fox kit exclaimed; her small fingers digging into the fabric of his shirt. The vibrant smile danced across her features, as a fit of giggles escaped her. She missed him terribly; she hated whenever he had to leave her side. She loved him so much; it truly hurt having to part from him. 

Two vibrant rubies swept around the corridors of the castle eagerly searching for a particular figure, blonde pigtails bounced in eagerness as the youngest of the Nohrian royals skipped along the steps giggling to herself. She had to find him, she had to find Xander. She wanted to share with him the special moments of tonight, the princess began her hunt through out the castle. She checked the training grounds first with no luck; then she checked the war council and throne room. She even peeked in his bedchambers hoping for a glimpse of his form.

Finally, she swings open the door to his study and drank his form behind the desk. Happily she sprints over towards him coming around the desk and glomping her elder brother, her sweet melodic laugh escaping her lips.

“Xander! Xander, I’m so excited~! I have been looking all over for you!” she chimes burying her face into the crane of her neck where she now dangled slightly, she began to climb up him wanting to cling to her elder brother. Today. Today would be a day for just her and Xander.
