Despite the throne having been secured by the regent, the queen, he is treated with disdain and caution. With no love from a mother since birth and now father as well, he is left to fend for himself, with the support of one person: [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]his bodyguard[/COLOR], whom the king had personally tasked to "keep watch" of the half-elf since young. When push comes to shove, after a "game" gone wrong that may very well be a staged assassination attempt, the halfblood flees the castle and searches for a new place to call home. Due to his obscured upbringing, the everyday subjects are oblivious to his identity; their unbiased treatment is a welcome. His bodyguard finds him, and together they live the slow and happy days of peasantry. Unfortunately, blue skies are not forevermore. The nobles and soldiers are sent to collect him back - dead or alive. Why would he be pursued to the ends of the horizon if he is such an intolerable presence? The prince seeks answers alongside his loyal bodyguard as the fugitive life befalls them.[/SUP] [HR][/HR] [CENTER][B]- Shadows at the Hem -[/B] [ [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]♚[/COLOR] ][/CENTER] [SUP]A [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]human boy[/COLOR] who has been raised by a group of deacons strives to follow the footsteps of his surrogate family. During one excursion where his brothers have been sent to exterminate a fallen, [COLOR="#BBFFDD"]an imp[/COLOR] follows them back to the camp, where he begins feeding on the life essence of the oblivious boy who could not see the sprite. The boy does, however, hear "soft murmurs" and "hushed laughter" every so often, which scare him enough to keep the occurrence a secret, for fear of tall repercussions. The boy grows frail and weak over the years, and on his twenty-first birthday, he gets the biggest surprise of his life to see his parasitic companion, who has grown into what looks to be a human, an adult man. The imp has fed enough to be tangible now. Found to be possessed, he is denied by the Order to join their ranks and is subsequently cast out by people whom he was once close kins with. The supersized imp makes his getaway, but after an extended time, discovers that he will regress back into his tiny, pulpable form when his host is separated from him for too long. In exchange for his life essence, the young human forces him into odd jobs of extermination of the damned and other menial work - like aiding old grannies with their stubborn jars. They form an unwilling, symbiotic duo.[/SUP][/noparse]
