GARDENS: GALENODEL & SOO TEK


The crisp morning sun began to lift above the hills, and shine across the beautiful flowers in the garden.
The light danced upon the glistening dew drops on the petals, before being sprayed with a light covering of dust.
The elf king quickly backstepped, trying to block his opponent's advancing attacks.
Galenodel blocked, parried, and counter attacked, but his old friend and sensei was no oridnary fighter.
He was a traveling monk who specialized in an ancient form of fighting known as the Five Elemental Dragons.
Today, was the King's first training day, and although he was an expert with a sword, he was no match for his friend, Soo Tek.
The monk's foot landed squarely against the King's chest, knocking him backwards onto the flower pots, smashing a few.
"My leige, please forgive me, I got carried away." apologized Soo Tek as he knelt down to help the king to his feet.
"Nay, twas my fault, I tripped over these damn flower pots, which I had thought I had moved."
"Lesson one, always know your sourroundings." laughed the monk.
The king chuckled as well, standing to his feet with the aid of Soo Tek.
"Come my old friend, let us get a drink."
The two retreated into the castle's main hall, where the King poured them drinks.
"To your health." toasted Galenodel.
" And, to your training, may it get better."
The two laughed and drank.
"Let me show you around, I've been adding some things here and there." said the King.

Madeline:


Madeline walked into the main hall as they were enjoying drinks. She cleared her throat. She had heard the smashing of the flower pots as she passed by the window of the castle, the one where you could see the gardens. She sighed and shook her head a bit. She walked towards them.

How many times must I tell you to be careful? Those are the three more flower pots you have broken in the past few days alone."

She frowned. She managed to cross her arms, despite holding her staff that she often tended to carry with her. She almost narrowed her eyes as well, at that moment. The queen was often concerned for her family, especially her husband. She may have been a queen, but she was a wife and mother as well.

Allisara sat infront of her vanity, taking time brushing her hair, while trying to fully wake up for the day. Sleep has never been her strong suit and tend to be a pain, when trying to wake up. She yawned lightly, finally finished brushing her hair back, behind her shoulders. "There we go. All better."She spoke to herself watching her reflection smile back to her allowing her thoughts to wander only to snap back to reality when she heard the breaking of a pot before her mother's usual scolding. "Father must have broke another pot."She said with herself with a light giggle moving from her vanity to a window toss it open.

Allisara peer out from the window taking in the crisp morning air. She saw her father and his spar partner retreat into the castle only for her mother to follow them. Such a interesting morning already.

Markula


Markula watched the castle from the hills, hidden in the shade of barn. The sun beat down on the earth around him. He could make it stop, he could cover the sun with stormy clouds but it wasn't time yet. Let them have time, after all I have all the time in the world he thought nothing they can do can stop me. I will have what I want.

Markula picked up a blade of grass, it turned to ash in his hands. He smiled at the thought he could lay to waste the entire kingdom. The kingdom ashes much like the grass. "Soon" he wispered as dark tendril stretched accross the ground, grass turning to ash as it touched it.

"My dear Madeline, I assure you, it was not my fault this time."
The king greeted his wife with a kiss on the cheek,"You look lovely my dear, you remember my old friend, Soo Tek."
The monk bowed before the queen, "Malady, I must humbly apologize for the breaking of flower pots, was my fault."
"Madeline, I plan on showing Soo Tek, the meditation room that I am building, I promise I wont be long."
"Please inform our daughter that she has some new studies today under the tutelage of master Soo Tek."
The Monk bows to the queen,"With your permission of course. "

Madeline sighed.
"I remember, Galenodel. I also remember you always nearly getting hurt with him around."

She frowned again and shook her head, kiss on the cheek or not. She sighed again and nodded when the monk spoke, apologizing.
"Very well, although I wish you would not work him so hard."

She blinked and turned to her husband once more when she heard him.
"Must she have more studies? You already work her so hard as it is. She only puts up with it to make you proud of her, I am certain."
Her concerned mother side was showing again.

She sighed.
"However....if I must."
She turned to leave, not looking too happy.

Allisara made sure to make herself look wake and fully ready for whatever the day might have in store with her. she was sure her parents were talking about something and that by the sounds of whatever it was, was normal and hard to tell just by ear. She turned towards her bedroom door before moving to it. "Alright breath and be suprised."She spoke to herself before opening her door heading through it only to turn an immediate left heading down the long hallway lined with windows, allowing the beautiful warm rays of the sun and its warmth to shine through warming the bare skin on her cheecks, neck and arms as she traveled towards the stairs with grace.

Madeline went to search for her daughter. She sighed and shook her head. She did not think that they should force such things onto their daughter, at least, not more than she could handle. She did plenty as it was, and she would make a great queen someday. That was what she thought of her daughter anyway. Anyway, she had that news to give to her daughter, and would bump into her soon enough.

Allisara soon met her mother at the stairs. She could tell you alot was on her mother's mind, she just couldn't tell if it was anything good or bad. "Good morning, your majesty."She spoke sweetly while granting her mother a curtsy. "I am sorry I am a bit late to waking up. Sleep hasn't been kind to me as of late."she explained hoping that might explain her lateness to waking up.

Madeline sighed.
"You silly girl."
She shook her head a bit. She looked at her daughter. She took a breath before she spoke again.

"Your father has yet another teacher for you. It would seem you have more studies now, my dear."
She gave her daughter the news.
"..Starting today. I am sorry."
She added that last part after a short pause.

Allisara watched her mother confused by the tone. "Mother..I don't mind teachers it is is assisting and bettering me to taking the throne when my time comes to do so. Is something bothering you?"she asked concern by the way her mother was acting of adding another tutor to her already busy list of studies.

Madeline shook her head.
"I simply do not like the idea of your father adding so much onto your already busy list like this. I worry about you. You will be a great queen someday. You will be more than ready when the time comes. I do not know why your father keeps doing these things behind my back."

She sighed and frowned.

"have you discussed this with father? Both king and queen should be on board with the discussions made?"she asked tilting her head "But it is fine mother. I will be alright and can handle all these tutors. There is no need to worry about me"she said gently trying to reassure her mother.

Allisara cared for both of them and the means of doing whatever both asked of her was what she liked doing out of respect and love for them both "I am sure father has a good reason for all these tutors"she added

Madeline sighed.
"He is stubborn."
She shook her head a bit again.
"I know he means well, but I worry."

She looked at her daughter. She wished her daughter would not be so afraid to show weakness around her. She was her mother after all, and would love her no matter what.

In the end though, she simply nodded.

Galenodel tapped his foot on the floor,"What is keeping that girl, it's not like her to be late, I bet Madeline is complaining about me riding her too hard."
"Give her a break dear, she is still young and fragile." mocked the King.

"I do this to prepare her for any obstacles that she may have to bare without our help."
The monk smiled. "Are you convincing me or yourself?"
"Yes, well, I guess i am a bit overwhelming at times, but she is my only child, and I love her dearly, if anything ever happened to her...I..I"

Soo Tek placed his hand on Galenodel's shoulder,"Fathers worry just as much as mothers do, but in order for her to fly, she must leave the nest."
"I know, I know, you are right, and I will lighten up on her duties, but not today."

@BlackMaiden
"There you are, young lady where have you been? "
The monk squeezed the King's shoulder gently but roughly.
"Nevermind, come here my darling, I want you to meet your teacher for today's studies."
"This is Master Soo Tek, and he will be teaching you how to fight unarmed."
Her father held up his hand in front of her face as to hush Allisara.

"Yes, I know you know how to fight with a sword, obviously, but what if you are weaponless?"
The king turned to Soo Tek and bowed, "She's in your hands now sensei."
Galenodel turned to face his daughter, "Make me proud." he kisses her forehead, before walking out of the room.
The monk lit his pipe and took a few puffs, while examining her physique.

"Don't worry Mom, I got this. Can't be that bad of learning something useful hopefully"She said Sweetly trying to help ease her mothers mind before hearing the familar voice of her father. She turned her attention towards him as she nodded. "Sorry dad, I got caught up talking to mom."She apologized scratching the back of her head moving over to him quickly looking between him and the monk "Unarmed bu-"she spoke only to get silenced mid sentence hearing the rest of his explaination, which kinda makes sense but seemed odd to suddenly have added to her busy tutoring schedule that keeps growing by the day it seemed.

She smiled closing her eyes accepting the kiss to her forehead before reopening them looking back towards them "I will try but just incase, i get to complain of being sore afterwards."She teased before looking towards her newest teacher "I hope I do not dissappoint you Master Soo Tek."She spoke bowing in respect.

Madeline sighed. She nodded once.
"Please be careful, dear."

She spoke with an almost rather saddened frown. She watched her daughter leave after one last reassurance. She shook her head a bit.
"That husband of mine...."
She sighed again.

She walked off after her daughter left. She knew she would run into her husband again soon enough.

Soo Tek smiled at the young girl,"If you are anything like your father, I am sure you will do quite fine."
Soo Tek showed her the right way to stand with solid balance, before beginning their first lesson.
In which, he taught her the fundamentals of Taichi and correct way of breathing.
The lesson lasted for several hours, until Allisara moved gracefully following Master Soo Tek's movements.

The king was whistling his favorite tune as he danced up the stairs, feeling like a young lad again, and saw Madeline, who he immediately grabbed from behind, and began dancing with her.
" Remember when we used to dance all the time?, we were so young and happy then."
He whispered a beautiful elven song in her ear, as they danced thru the halls.
"I love you, my beautiful wife, my flower. he said as he kissed her.

Madeline was walking down the hall with an unhappy look on her face. She and the others had no idea of the possible danger ahead. Anyway, she gasped when she was suddenly grabbed from behind like that. It was her husband, the king. Before she could scold him, as she had intended to do, again, when she found him, again, he was suddenly dancing with her, acting like a giggling little boy. What was the matter with him?! That was her first thought in regards to that.

"St...stop this!"
She did her best to try and speak, to scold, despite him trying to distract him with words such as those, as well as that tune he tried to whisper into her ear. She turned red as he kissed her. She kissed back, for a moment, until her angry thoughts made her try to back away again.
"Do...do not distract me!"

The smile left Galenodel's face, replaced with a sad expression.
"Forgive me, I don't know what I was thinking. "
He released her, and stepped back a few steps as if retreating, but whirled around instead.
" Oh yes, I do know what I was thinking, that you are my wife!"
"Am I to be chastised now for loving my wife?, why are you so damn cold to my affections?"
The king was beside himself, he was furious with anger, but tried to stay calm.
"Well, what do you have to say for The way you are acting?"
