Furious Outlaw, Cowering Princess (royals, c)

[Jotari]

Moving with quick strides and practically dragging along Tryphena by her arm, Black Star stormed directly through Kiyer's market place in a pure rage. There were no other Grellon members with them. Most people scrambled to get out of the way of the dark-clothed woman who seemed to have a strange electricity about her person. The few that were stupid enough to not move were promptly ad roughly shoved by the surprisingly strong outlaw queen. Those who knew her, knew that it would probably be a good time to start running before the city came crashing down. Tryphena was moving quickly but obviously not fast enough for Black Star. Reaching the palace gates they were challenged. Black Star flicked out her dagger, coldly stabbed a guard in the shoulder, and kept going. Tryphena was reconized and waved them to back off. The blond haired princess knew that Black Star would probably start killing people in the mood she was in. Storming through the castle, the odd couple went to the throne room where Black Star landed a very hard hit to the head of one guard, who promptly slumped to the floor, while the other fellow was kind enough to quickly open the door.

Black Star dragged Tryphena in roughly and pushed her toward a chair. Tryphena cowered from the Grellon queen who went to the window and attempted to gather her rage. Tryphena timidly told the servant to go and find the king. The servant ran off, "Your majesty! My liege! Your daughter Tryphena is in the throne room with the outlaw leader. My king, there is something wrong. That outlaw has gone crazy!" Meanwhile Black Star remained at the window, viciously playing with a wisp of her hair. Just a few hours ago she had finally had enough of these stupid princesses and had made some very drastic choices. But first, Tryphena would be telling Daddy what was happening. But even now, the Grellon was preparing to completely and utterly move. They were going back into hiding and Black Star was about to get much more dangerous and violent then before. The outlaw queen had been pushed past her limit- The Grellon was at risk.

Tryphena had ben scared to tell her father what was going on, but she was terrified at this new aspect of Black Star. She sat quietly and obediently, not wishing to have any blood drawn. Black Star wouldn't do such a thing, but at the moment, Tryphena wouldn't put anything past the outlaw. Right now, Black Star easily fit her description as a clever blood-thirsty ruffian. Tryphena though would do everything in order to make sure that Black Star remained free. Tryphena was scared but still respected Black Star. She just hoped that father would listen.

the king was surrounded by the light sounds of the clink and smash of fencing swords and shields with solider swords. Presently Crevan held his own specially made fencing sword at the ready and he paraded, danced, and stormed across the floor with his opponent. The poor boy didn't stand a chance when he walked into the room this morning. The king was proud to lay claim to a great skill with a fencing sword, Crevan demolished the kid where he stood.
They wore no masks, only tanned hide over their chests. A perry here and there and the king had many more wins against the young square than the boy could handle. The king made a lunge for the boy as the doors were thrust open and several servants spilled in huffing and puffing.
"Majesty! My lord you must come! Its your daughter! Tryphena! Shes returned! She waits in the throne room."
Crevan dropped his sword and stared at the servants for a moment and then he took off in a almost run, pushing past the messengers, leaving his guards in the dust as he went. Crevan began untying the leather front plate from his self. The messengers turned heel and tried to follow, they caught up by running as the king slowed to a fast stride.
"You must know she's not alone, she was brought by the outlaw Black Star! she has stabbed and incapacitated two guards. " Crevan only heard half of it, enough to establish Black Star was also here.
"What? Why is Black Star here too?"
"She's not said." answered a wind blown servant.
Crevan burst through the doors and pulled his youngest daughter from her chair and into his arms. "Have you love all sense child!? Where have you been? Why haven't we gotten more news?" The king wanted to cry ad shout. As long as Tryphena and all of the princesses were home, the kingdom was right. Crevan loved his youngest daughter with a fierce power, although he loved his girls equally Tryphena had bonded with him more than the others. The king felt as though a part of his heart had vanished from the face of the planet. For the Queen held his whole heart and his daughters each held a special part.

Black Star remained looking out the window, still angry as this entire thing. She should have let Tryphena fall off that horse and die or something. Black Star's tones were chilling and dark, making Tryphena a bit nervous still, "Greeting to you King Crevan." But the outlaw did not turn and face him. Tryphena clung to her father for a moment, it was good to feel his arms around her again. But Tryphena knew that her new leader, Black Star, was not a patient woman and especially not today. Tryphena let go and stepped back a step. " I have something to tell you. I was never really badly injured Father, I fell in love. I fell in love with Black Star's second-in-command, Asterion. We married and....I'm two months with child." Tryphena actually looked happy but also looked to see if he would be really angry. That was why Black Star had not permitted any other Grellon member to follow them into Kiyer, even Asterion was forced back. If the King got angry, Black Star didn't need the Grellon to get hurt more then necessary. But the outlaw queen still said nothing. Tryphena continued, though now speaking freely and not as Black Star wished, " The Grellon is moving and traveling somewhere else. Asterion and I though are looking to settle somewhere and start a home of our own. Asterion doesn't want to be moving around so much." Black Star had not wanted anyone to really know the Grellon was moving and so the queen sent an icy glare.

Tryphena looked at her father, still talking quickly so he would hear everything before imprisoning someone or something like that. " Black Star didn't even know about the marriage until it was to late, it wasn't her fault or anything. Tryphena was trying to cover all the bases, though she did not tell her father that Asterion was waiting outside Kiyer and that her husband was a minotaur. Actually, Tryphena didn't even tell him the truth. Asterion and Tryphena would be married as soon as Black Star could arrange it, but the child inside Tryphena was not the minotaur's. It was Rashok's, thanks to an attack. Tryphena had gone out of bounds and had paid for it. Black Star was gracious enough to grant Tryphena protection, though the outlaw leader was currently in her cruelest and darkest mood. Tryphena's stupidity had cost the Grellon their secrets and hiding places. Black Star was furious about this entire matter.

[Desperanza]

The eldest Princess was aware that Black Star and her sister were in the castle, she was aware that her father would be head over heels over the face that Tryphena had returned, and she was aware that Black Star was not to be pestered with. Either way, she was still furious. She refused to go down. She did not need to hear the story again and she had no need to see Black Star on that day and she truly did not consider her sister her family any longer. The child had been ridiculously stupid and she was now coming home to attempt to be washed in welcome and not to be punished for her acts. Alexa still pondered why the hell Tryphena had even bothered coming home, she was seething but she refused to address as such. She was still furious that her sister had cost her so much for she did adore Allaire and she was certain now that there would be no more of that. Sighing stiffly, the Princess was leaning against the balcony railing of her bedroom, staring down into the streets of Kiyer. She had watched as Black Star drug the Princess in but she ignored the fact that the pair was even in the castle, furious. Her ice blue eyes were a rather dark shade towards sapphire as she stared down towards the streets, instead trying to force her thoughts towards anything that could distract herself, things she needed to do to prepare for this war now as she thought them over and finally, she straightened and turned to make her way from the room descending the stairs swiftly as she made her way towards the entrance of the castle, quite obviously avoiding her father at this point for she was vaguely irritated with him as well as she awaited his response.

She too had grown close to her father and yet, he still adored Tryphena in every sense of the word and she rather did not believe that he would be angry with Tryphena and why would he? He would believe that Tryphena was happy and married to her sweetheart whether or not she was at the castle. The thought made Alexa cringe and grit her teeth and as she entered the entrance hall she paused at the door of the throne room, casting a glance in at the trio for a moment with a frown before she sighed rather sharply and accepted her cloak from a waiting servant by the door, thrusting it around her shoulders to secure it at her throat as she whisked from the entrance of the castle and made her way out towards the stables. She rather considered this whole thing to be ridiculous. She found it rather ridiculous that Black Star still offered to help the Princess, that she still harbored the youngest Princess through this matter and yet, she was relieved for Tryphena’s stupidity was obvious at this point and any who looked upon her would know of the teenager with no intelligent mind and so she would need help. She was saddled with a child now and yet she had a home. She would be safe without any royal help and she had chosen her path, so she let her go, rolling her shoulders as if letting the problem pass between the blades of her shoulders as she motioned for a bay mare to be saddled before waving away the stable hands as she gathered the reins, a handful of mane and swung herself gracefully into the saddle before she swiftly reined the mare around and cantered from the courtyard.

Liliandil wandered around the courtyard doing business of her own personal matters. As she went she hummed not any real tune but hummed anyway. She was quite some distance away from the entrance when she happened to spot her eldest daughter walk from the insides of the castle towards the stable. The Queen pondered this a moment then set off towards the entrance. 

As she walked inside she handed her cloak to the servant waiting there. As she turned towards the throne room her eyes suddenly widened at the sight she saw there. Her breath caught as she spied her youngest daughter along with her husband and then, her eyes narrowed. Black Star was once again inside her home, but she would ignore the leader for now for all she wanted was to see that her daughter was safe. It did not matter yet why they had come only that Tryphena was here and touchable.

Liliandil strode forward as gracefully as one could with a limp such as she had. Upon reaching the door of the throne room the Queen exclaimed "Tryphena you're home at last!" and hurried inside the room too give her youngest child a hug only a mother could. She took Tryphena in her arms, not caring that it was evident they had been in the middle of a conversation, and kissed her upon the cheek before throwing another withering glance at the Grellon leader. She shall speak with her after she heard from her beloved youngest daughter, until then it would be as if the Grellon leader wasn't in her home, in her throne room, and didn't even exist. She pulled away from her daughter looking her over carefully and smiled happy to finally have all her daughters home where they rightfully belonged.

The king was crushed. His shoulders slumpped and his eyes drained for a moment. He stared at his daughter, and moved from his wife when she came in to take over. "You haven't. Please tell me your lying to me, my dear." He said in a withered tone. His youngest daughter was pregnant AND Married. He missed the marriage. The first daughter to get married and she didnt even have enough heart to tell her father. How dear she, he raised her and brought her up. Protected her and loved her like no other and this is the thanks he gets.
"I Will Meet this BOY. You are not to leave this castle agian Tryphena, not until i deen it nececary! How dare you marry outside of the Kingdom! That little flea of a bother should have asked my Permission! You know these are the rules Tryphena. How can you go behind everyones back. Your lucky i dont send you away! Why would you turn your back on Your family Tryphena!" The king back away, turned on his heel and started pacing. Crevan didnt care if you looked like a child, or that he sounded unresonable or that he was insulting the very man that loved his young Tryphena. Crevan's word was law and he was using and abusing it know, he was furious, blowing steam would not help him of anyone else at this point.
Crevan looked around and asked "You are you even coming home? You have a husband, child and i assume you had enough brains to marry one that has a house at the very least?! Why is the boy not here?" Crevan cletched his fists and tried to cool his hot heated head. He opened his shinning green eyes and looked at Black Star. "Why have you come? What is this that you are moving? Why? The outlaws have Never Ever moved. Not durasticly. What has scared you to move? I want the truth. There are things that i am not being told, and I'm tired of it. I want to know." The king said in a finalizing tone.

[Jotari]

Black Star lost control.

No, Jahanarwa lost control.

Black Star had stood in silent rage against the window, looking back toward Orestes Mountain moodily. Her hood covered her face and strands of waved dark hair peeked out. For the most part, she ignored the scene behind her, even the queen. There was to much happening and to much going on. Black Star had her own issues and was only here because she had already promised Tryphena this well before hand. But Tryphena cowered back in her chair as the King suddenly shouted and started demanding thing. A cold smile played around delicate lips. No wonder Magrej did not fear this king. But the smile was lost when the King addressed the outlaw queen. Turning slowly and dangerously the outlaw pushed back her hood to reveal scarlet fiery eyes and a coldness to her features. Standing her full height and for once appeared to be of purest royal blood. Her tone was cold enough to send shivers down Tryphena's spine.

"Very well, you will hear just what your fool of a daughter has done to my people. She does indeed love my Lieutenant, Asterion, and he loves her. But Asterion never really got the chance to do anything for her. Against my explicit orders, orders so damn simple the youngest of my people understand them, your daughter ventured into Pungoi Swamp. I recently escaped once again from Murate and Magrej's prisons. But the General Rashok simply allowed my escape in order to find my Grellon. We have for two years been stealing slaves from Murate and Magrej is getting tired of it. It happened that while your daughter was being an idiot in Murate, Rashok came across her. Asterion saved your daughter's life, but he did not save her innocence and honor. Asterion has been gracious enough to ask for her hand in marriage to at least give the child a life, but I assure you they are not married yet. But becuase of Tryphena's stupidity, the entire Grellon is threatened. Rashok knows what area the Grellon is and it will take very little time before he finds us and destroys everything. Becuase of Tryphena, my people are forced to uproot themselves and fade into the countryside! Once again the remaining Kai people are being forced from their home. If it were not for my oath of sanctuary to your daughter, I swear you would be short one daughter! She has cost us everything!"

Black Star had slowly stepped forward towards the King during her rapid words, fury in her movements and fire in her eyes. Her tones had increased in volume and on her last phrase, the goblet she had been sipping from was tossed with great force against the wall directly behind Tryphena. No longer was this an outlaw, but the Queen of Kai. This was no longer Black Star, but Jahanarwa. But yet, she did not let her power show. She kept the Sky Gem in check and did not reveal her true identity yet. But was she ever ticked.

The king snarled at Black Star, furious at his daughter now. More than he ever thought he could feel "I did Not ask you to house my Daughter! You know you could have brought her to her Home, Then SHe would not be coveting a Bastard! I never asked anything of you Black Star." He stopped breathed and it was like a physical change in the king as he literally blew out some anger. "I did not ask you to risk your town, life, and your people for my daughter. She was never your charge, and yet you took her." The king blinked and backed away from the great outlaw queen. If it werent for this woman Crevan would have surly lost his favoriate daughter.
He took a breath and looked at his daughter. Then to Black Star, "I thanl you. and i bow to you Black Star. I owe you a great deal. I mean not to take out any anger on you, but to punish my FOOLISH child. I will help how i can. What you need i will get, if you have a place i will send you horse's. What you need i will send you. But hear this Queen of Outlaws. Next time you have one of the royals of my Family. Bring them Back to me. " The king puntuated his talking with heavier sounds and he was solid with his words.
Scarily he turned to his daughter "You Will bring your love to me for me to talk to him. You will send him word, and You WILL Not be leaving to live with him anywhere but here. I want to talk to him." Crevan meant no ill will to the second of command of Black Star. Crevan looked angrily at his daughter and said "You are lucky to be alive Tryphena." Crevan wanted to be kind and to be the loving king and father he should be but he couldnt bear it right now. "Your mother will escort you to your room, where you will stay. If there is anything else say it, then leave. There is adult business to be done." Crevan said in a cold tone to his daughter.

We are the fates.....We are whom ye shall fear.....

The apology was no longer enough. Black Star was tired. Tired of dealing with idiots who seemed to ruin headlong into trouble. Tired of trying to be the outlaw yet still laying traps for Magrej as the Guardian. She was tired of having fools like that fake guardian come in any pretend to be her. This would end now! The scarlet eyes went drastically from scarlet to fiery white. The gem in her dagger glimmered.

It was like an eruption of pure energy. A wind whipped around Black Star, running through the ebony hair. The outlaw's clothes faded into a white floor length dress with gold embellishing. Energy emitted from her own spirit to form a ghost like creature behind her. It was a phoenix, the symbol of the Guardian. It was huge, easily stretching it's wings the full length of the throne room. It was white and translucent, almost like a hologram. Jahanarwa, Guardian, stood before them with fury written across her features. She spoke, but her voice echoed and sounded as if there was not one voice, but many. It was also clear that it wasn't quite Black Star who was speaking.

"I am the Guardian. For years, we have tried to warn Ellsinora that the darkness of Araxes would come. But you did not heed. Instead you have mistreated us, though the outlaw and her people never truly harmed you. Know, Jahanarwa has already sworn vengeance upon Rashok for his deeds, for he destroyed her life. But for Ellsinora's foolishness, a prophecy is told unto you. When the pillar of stone shall fall, the building will crumble, and Araxes shall seem victorious. You found the Guardian, only to lose her again."

With that the phoenix apparition folded its wings and the wind carried it away as sand tossed in the air. With it, went the outlaw leader. But the game was well played. The explosion of power had happened in Ellsinora Castle. Magrej would think that the fake guardian was the real girl. If anyone said that they had seen the guardian, it would be taken as "well duh" because of the fake guardian already in the castle. Yes, Black Star had played her cards with absolutely deadly accuracy. It would still appear as if thr fake guardina was the real thing and her secret was still hidden from the world. But all of Ellsinora would pay the price of the strange words. the prophecy. But it would be seen if Black Star ever returned to the public eye and eve worse, who was the pillar of stone in the prophecy?
