[h2][color=0072bc]Edoric[/color][/h2] Allowing the cold, frosty air of Shadow Worth meet his face, the heir to the Nordiere family stepped out of his carriage and gazed upon the fortress walls, looming in the night sky. Edoric had a personal dislike frozen peaks like those of Shadow Worth, he felt like he was constantly cold or would be stuck in place. It was probably a something relating to his magic, but he wasn't going to pay it any heed tonight. Tonight, Edoric had a mission. After much debate and talks, his family and what close friends he had convinced him it was time to take a gem bride or two. After walking up the cobbled path to the castle, he mused on how he would control his soon-to-be wives. He knew how to control soldiers and he knew how to control business; outside of his sisters, he never had many dealing with female Drakkens, much less females Gems. Following the words of his brother (who already grew quite powerful as at he head of the family with multiple wives), he guessed that he'd doing something interesting with them. Lost in his thoughts (which by this point had taken a turn, becoming an internal debate about the professional goat sodimizer his business acquaintance pestered him to hire for some unknown reason), his path was blocked by a pair of Guards. THeir spears crossed as if they wanted to deny him access to such and important (if not annoying) event. "Halt! Who goes there?" one of the guards shouted at Edoric's general direction, "State name, position and purpose!" [color=0072bc]"Edokaluriconus Nordiere, heir to the noble house of Nordiere, now excuse me I have a pair of Gem to meet boys."[/color] Edoric pushed his way past the polearms and opened up the doors for himself. He heard one of the guards debating if he should spear the (in)famous Drakkenn after his legends of his instability had made him other wise a popular figure in some part of Drakken society. Of course this was only one part of him talked about in detail in Drakken social circles; his men in the army had complete faith in him as did his business associates, even with his legendary exploits such as his duel to the death that ended up as a pig tossing contest between him and some other house he forgot about. Looking back, it was probably Edoric who started the fight, dueling over the pig which was soon after thrown through a window. As he entered the halls of Shadow Worth, he recognized some face for which he'd seen before. Over there was a lord to some plot of land out west, a few feet away was a heir to some pitiful family fortune over yonder, next to him was a man he once insulted in his youth and off in the distance was the person responsible for his fear of fuzzy objects. Edoric was originally suppose to only have one wife, but after over hearing whispers amongst his servants and receiving a letter from his youngest siblings, he hastily arranged for a second one. It wasn't to hard seeing as he had a hand in the transportation of such Gems, just pick another one who looked pretty enough. Something like that. From what he was initially told, both of them where feisty with one attempting to kill one of his friends as he had his own Choosing alongside several other lords as they walked out of Shadow Worth. This should be fun at any rate, there was bound to be something for Edoric to laugh about in store. Kicking the door to his private room open where the two Gems, his soon-to-be wives, would be waiting, he cracked a crazed grin, [color=0072bc]"Hello ladies. As of right now you may call me "master" or "grand ruler of the universe and emperor of war. Let's get along shall we? I believe unpleasant things are in store if you we don't, not that they might not happen to you anyways."[/color] Swing himself around the room he appeared behind the two beautiful Gemmites and pulls out a pair of collars and daggers, present one for each, [color=0072bc]"Before we start, let me present to you wonderful little morsels a gift from your's truly. Both the items are of high quality, I personally ensure that."[/color] Edoric danced his way over to an arm chair where he sat down, legs crossed and head supported by his arm, [color=0072bc]"Chop chop ladies, you know the drill. We don't have all night you know."[/color] As the two Gems examined their new gifts, Edoric's smile grew as he thought what would they do with their own collars and dagger. People would proablly question his sanity (if they didn't already) at the sight of him gifting out weapons. But he already had precautions, as insane as he was, he still had (something close to at least) a brain. The daggers of course where more ceremonial than pragmatic, having both been horribly unbalanced and improperly tapered; in short, it would take an outstanding warrior to best him using the highly decorated knives which neither of the Gems seemed to be. Opening his mouth once more, he smiled as the looked into the women,[color=0072bc] "Let's have some fun, no?"[/color]
