The story is massive, maybe the biggest we have done, so I have chopped it into two parts. Part One can be found here. It was just a bit too much at one time. We pick up when Chance wakes up on his wedding day…
Starday (Sunday) 9:00AM – The Wedding
DMaster: its about 9:00AM, you rolled around in bed for a while, thinking of things, playing with yourself.
Chance: Get up and grab my pants and look for some food.
DMaster: heheh, “get up,” A knock on your door
Chance: I will make sure I have pants on, and answer the door.
DMaster: A servant with a cart, he wheels it in. A breakfast with absolutely everything you could possibly want.
Chance: Eyes get big seeing this
DMaster: He leaves, closes the door behind him, the tray is right by the table. It smells incredible.
Chance: Mind goes full caveman just sitting back chowing down, when finished will pat my belly and smile.
DMaster: Breakfast was amazing. You look over your outfit and it looks damn good. Everything seems in place. You even find the ring that Khamyra gave you, in a pouch of yours.
Chance: After finish eating I will work on my hair. Try to get it looking good, before waiting for Plugr and them to show up at high sun.
DMaster: After what seems like a week, they show up, Plugr, Dash, Bastian and Griffin. They are hauling in there stuff – clothes, shoes, etc. and a bottle of dwarven spirits and some shot glasses. Everyone is getting dressed.
Chance: Hand dash the ring when I find it.
Chan: guard this as if your life depends on it
Shooting him a smirk
DMaster: He puts it in his pocket right away, nods his head.
BAS: It will have too, he loses it, we are all gonna kill him
Everyone chuckles, except Dash, he just nods, and looks pretty nervous.
Chance: Chan: Plugr, get this man a shot. He is more nervous than I am for the moment
DMaster: Everyone gets a shot and downs it. Griffin is giving Dash his usually playful banter. Bastian only falls over trying to put the fancy pants on. Plugr is meticulous, like a machine dressing, hair, cologne, etc
Chance: let them banter a bit and bust out laughing as Bastian falls over. Grabbing my outfit I will start getting dressed as well.Taking my time and asking for help from Plugr when I need it
DMaster: They finish their dressing and then start in on you. They get you looking good, real good.
Chance: Chan: well what does everyone think?
Looking at the group.
DMaster: They all stop and look, smile and nod
BAS: Hell, I might want to marry you instead!
They all cheer again. There is a knock on the door, Dash answers it. Renata walks in. Her hair is very regal and full, unlike her usual high and tight. Long flowing robes, with dark silver accents. A large necklace of Finster around her neck. Perfect makeup and just a few pieces of jewelry. The outfit is finished out by some shit kicking boots underneath. Griffin gets a bit flustered seeing her, and they exchange glances.
REN: You guys ready?
Bastian looks the Priestess over.
BAS: Wow. It is kind of crazy, under a year ago no one would be caught dead wearing that necklace. Now, it is going to be as common as Animax’s.
Plugr frowns a bit, but Dash and Griffin smile wide.
Chance: Smile and nod my head
Chan: I can’t speak for the rest but I am ready, my Priestess.
DMaster: They all nod, one more round of shots
GRIF: To Chance not shitting himself!
Everyone : AYE!
DM: Condensing. The group double checks everything and off they go. They leave the Inn, walk to the North gates and get a Carriage that takes them to Chances home. They pull up, and everyone gets out. Some underlings who are also dressed better, guide you to the die and around the house. One thing you notice, there has to be about 50 guards surrounding the house and yard. You walk through a flowered archway into a backyard that takes your breath away. Rows and rows of white and black chairs, divided by an aisle leading up to a fancy podium. Streamers and decorations across the top, going from one side to the other. The place is almost unrecognizable. The well has a sign, “Wishing Well,” the shed is covered in flowers and decorations. By the podium area is 5 people with instruments, the band, and such, playing a soft light tune.
Chance: Looking at all this and just nod my head, jaw wide open, eyes wide.
DMaster: It is a perfect day. Some puffy clouds, no wind and about 70-75 degrees. Perfection.
Chance: Following the group, I go out back going over the vows in my head.
DMaster: You talk for a minute or two with people, Plugr looks to one of the windows and nods his head.
PLUG: Time to get to the Podium, altar area, or whatever.
He shakes his head.
PLUG: Now I sound like my daughter, sheesh.
You walk to that area, and there is a large archway of flowers. You double take and you recognize them. They are Midnight Jade. The place is already about full. (I will put together a complete list soon, but not right now of who attended).
Chance: Look myself over one more time, then look around, take it all in.
DMaster: Everyone is looking your way or glancing back waiting for Khamyra. Before Cassie takes her seat she walks close to you, eyeing you up.
CASS: You ready for this? You look amazing.
Chance: Smile, nod and take a hard swallow.
Chan: Thank you and, you know what? I have never been more ready in my life.
DMaster: She gives you a sarcastic nod and smile
CASS: Yeah, sure, looks like it.
Cassie walks away and sits down next to her daughter and King. Talia makes her way by you.
TAL: OK bro, lets make sure you breathe, keep calm and squeeze cheek
Dash over heard, furries his brow.
DASH: I’m sorry, what? Squeeze… cheek?
TAL: So he doesn’t shit himself, right short tips?
Dash burst out laughing, Plugr gives her a fun scolding look, pointing to her chair in the audience.
Chance: Chan: Yes, Squeezing.
Looking at her and smirk
DMaster: Just then Talia spins around to sit and she just melts, seeing the twins in Sisse’s arms walking up the aisle. Everyone now is looking, kind of standing to see the two bundles of joy. They are dressed up too in cute outfits.
SIS: They are coming to wish their daddy luck
She gives you a big smile.
Chance: Huge smile and go to them giving them little kisses and snuggles.
Chan: I love you my little warrior and baby girl, someday you both will understand just how much…
Giving each of the kids one last quick kiss on the head
DMaster: She walks them to the back. The place is all full now, It is growing a bit quiet except for a few soft discussions in the crowd. Reneta comes back and gets you all situated. Everyone is in position.
Chance: Get into my position, looking out at everyone with a big smile, trying not to tear up.
DMaster: You see Griffins head pop out of the back door of the house and Reneta nods her head. The Musicians to your right start up playing music. First out the door is Trinity, basket of white pedals. She drops some as she is walking down the aisle. Next is Luella, she has the basket of black pedals, doing the same as Trinity. Next up is Khamyra’s sister, Kigrial, she has red pedals and leaves some here and there all the way up the aisle. Novalee is following up, alone holding a wonderful bouquet of white, red, and black flowers. They all walk and set up to your left. Then the entire place stands and looks to the house. Griffin and Khamyra come out.
Chance: taking a deep breath and smile even bigger seeing Khamyra.
DMaster: Khamyra and Griffin head down the aisle, everyone watching. With the music, seeing your fiance it is starting to hit you.
Chance: Standing at the podium, smiling big and trying not to cry yet.
DMaster: You look to Reneta and she has a shit eating grin on her face. She pulls a little dust out of her pocket, tosses it, traces a symbol and says “Dartifice.” Suddenly from her hands that are outstretched, sparkles come forth and from the ground erupts all of these illusionary fireflies. The crowd gasps and then oohhs and ahhhs. Khamyra has a huge smile and looks to Renata, mumbles.
KHA: Show off
The entire place looks like a wonderland.
Chance: trying to keep a straight face and not chuckle. Look over the place.
DMaster: Griffin drops her off with a kiss on the cheek and Khamyra sets up to your left, and you two turn to look at each other.
REN: Thank you everyone for coming to this glorious event. You can all take a seat, this could take a while.
The crowd chuckles. They all take their seat.
REN: To most this will be different than most Weddings, yet still feel like a traditional one. We will start with a fasting of the hands
Griffin walks around and puts an elegant rope in Reneta’s hands.
Chance: Like the rehearsal dinner, I put my hands out.
DMaster: Khamyra does as well. The Priestess then she ties your hands together. She says things in a long dead language, and the rope glows a bit. Reneta has a tear trickle down her face and gasps a little. She smiles big. The rope then snaps, in a cloud of smoke it disappears.
REN: To say this union is blessed, is quite the understatement. Our Lord emphatically blesses his Champion and his Warlock.
Chance: Eyes wide. Keep looking at Khamyra and smile.
DMaster: She is looking at you too smiling. Then Renata flips out a dagger
REN: Your palms, if you will.
Chance: Hold out my palm to Reneta
DMaster: She cuts both of them and then you clasp hands with Khamyra. She mumbles some language, and she goes in a trance, She drips some water over top
Chance: taking a few deep breaths as I look at Khamyra
DMaster: REN: Blood to Blood, life to life. May the water be the cleansing, may the blood finish the bind, the rope began. To stand in the purity, the dark and together shall you always be fierce.,
You both turn your palms back up, blood all over them.
REN: (quietly) Chance. Can you heal them, so it wont get all over the dress, I will never hear the end of it otherwise…
Smirking at Khamyra who giggles and shakes her head
Chance: Nod my head. I will slowly change over. Half the place gasps, the others look on in wonder.
DMaster: Khamyra stops you from turning back and the Onyx Elf rubs your face with her hand, tears welling up
KHA: My Champion….
Chance: I stay in Champion form and touch Khamyra’s cheek
Chan: My Warlock….
feeling a few tears running down my cheek
DMaster: A tear runs down her cheek. You turn back from the Champion form. Reneta talks about the legend of the Champion and the Warlock, than gets back to you two.
REN: Chance, your vows?
Chance: Nod my head and smile
Chan: Today we build a formidable team for life, and I thank you for standing here with me. On and by your will I will be, loving you as you are, and the person you will grow and turn out to be. I will give my time and energy to understand your wishes, desires, fears, and dreams and will lay it all down to make you happy. I will be there for you when you need me, whenever you need me, and I will support you through misfortune, and celebrate your triumphs.
DMaster: She has tears streaming now, just looking at you.
Chance: Chan:And I will keep our lives exciting, adventurous, and full of passion. I can’t wait to start this new and exciting adventure with the person I love most in the world.
Looking at Khamyra as I finish my vows with a few tears running down my face
DMaster: Lots of sniffles in the crowd.
REN: Khamyra?
KHA: I didn’t write any vows.
She glances at the crowd and shrugs her shoulders.
KHA: Because I just need to speak from my heart
She glances over to the Balcony on the house. Then back to you, tears welling up again
KHA: Do you remember that night?
She points over to the Balcony, everyone glances over.
KHA: I was ready to pack it in, run and hide and we would of gone our separate ways
Chance: nod my head, as the tears are coming down my face
DMaster: KHA: Remember what you said to me?
Chance: Smile and nod.
DMaster: KHA: You said no, when I said I wanted to break up. You said no, when I said I didn’t think this was a good idea and you said No, when I wanted to walk away.
She looks down and gasps a bit, trying to get her emotions under control remembering that night…
FLASHBACK
After a minute she starts “I am so lost right now and I don’t know what to do. I…” she stops, dips and shakes her head. “There are things you don’t know about me, maybe we should reconsider…”
“No.”
She is a bit startled by the interruption by Chance. She looks up and sees the Champion looking at her with his haunting eyes that just make her want to rip clothes off and… she stops a minute, ‘whoa.’ I have to refocus.
“I am not going to pretend like I know what you are going through… and you know why?” He says, taking a step towards her “You are not letting me in.”
Khamyra starts to shake her head, “Chance, you have to…” But gets interrupted.
“No.”
The same retort takes her a step back, she is almost insulted by that. Eyes grow bigger and she starts to get angry.
“When I said I am all in, I meant I am ALL IN” he replies taking a step forward getting closer. “That didn’t mean I am only in when its fun, or when the sex is amazing” he continues and takes another step closer, in arms reach now “I meant I am in when times are tough, tears are falling, pain… is overwhelming.”
After a moment, Chance says directly and with purpose “You do not have to bear this alone, no matter your past, your present or your future, I will always be here for you… always.”
Khamyra realizing what he is saying suddenly begins to tear up, she promises herself she wouldn’t, but his words, his thoughts, his love is breaking her down.
Scene taken from EP#42 – Trial of Heart & Sword
Chance: Chan: I remember, my Love
DMaster: Taking a deep breath and wiping a tear away.
KHA: You also said, “All In.” It has been my rally cry since that moment. You were all in with little ol’ me, flaws, issues, history… and all
She grabs your hands tighter, pulls you closer.
Chance: Look deep into her eyes. Soaking in this moment.
DMaster: KHA: I am, “all in,” my love. I have been since that day, and it has never wavered.
She smiles and pauses
KHA: The last thing you told me on that balcony was “You do not have to bear this alone, no matter your past, your present or your future, I will always be here for you… always.” That is my vow to you. My love, my heart and my life. I will be there for you always.
Not a dry eye in the house.
Chance: nod my head knowing the tears are flowing, holy shit, that was amazing.
DMaster: Ren sniffles a little, gets herself presentable. She wipes a tear away.
REN: Oh ok.
Ren motions for Novalee and the ring is handed to Khamyra. Renata starts in on some ritualistic saying and Khamyra puts the ring on your finger. Dash walks up and pokes you in the back
DASH: Here is the ring, I didn’t lose it.
Chance: Smile and look at Dash
Chan: (quietly) hand Reneta the ring silly, and thank you for keeping it safe
DMaster: He gives you a weird look. Then looks out across the crowd who is looking at them inquisitively.
DASH: (quietly) Why would I give it to Renata? Is she going to marry Khamyra?
He puts his hand out with the ring. People are laughing
Chance: I take the ring from him shaking my head
Chan: yes, yes.
DMaster: You put it on Khamyra. Ren finishes the incantation. The rings flash with light, the fireflies are now starting to buzz around and little tiny fireworks start to shoot
REN: With the rings this union is bound. The Champion can now kiss the Warlock.
Chance: nod my head, lean in and touch Khamyra’s face before gently kissing her
DMaster: She leans in, on her tippy toes and kisses you
REN: Everyone let me be the first to introduce Chance and Khamyra Axion!
Everyone stands up and erupts in applause and cheers
Chance: Looking at everyone as I gently take Khamyra’s hand and smile
DMaster: Then Sisse comes from the side, she gives you Crayon, Khamyra gets Krusty. Giggles, kisses and squeaks. The crowd melts, in oohs and awws.
Chance: Walk down the Aisle, one hand holding Khamyra’s, the other holding my lil’ warrior.
DMaster: You two walk to the back of the house, and then to the side where people will leave and go to the One Eyed Princess. Novalee and Trinity take the kiddos, You are greeting people and thanking them as they are walking through
Chance: Greet and thanking everyone once the kiddos are with girls. Fighting back the happy tears, looking over at Khamyra.
Chan: have I ever told you just how beautiful you are, my wife?
DMaster: KHA: Once in awhile
She says jokingly, you two have a moment alone for about a half minute
Chance: Well when we have a our moment alone, I will change back over to champion form and touch her cheek.
DMaster: Her eyes glow a bit, she kisses you fiercely and like before, like it was in the beginning; spark and snap of electricity
Chance: Kissing her back just as fierce and then lift her up in my arms
DMaster: But as you had a moment alone, you are then almost over run with your wedding party.
LUE: Save it for your room you two, we got a party to go to
Chance: Chan: just wanted to give her a little reminder
Change back to normal and set her down, smiling
DMaster: Walking hand in hand to the one-eye, your wedding party around you laughing, talking and having a good time. Guards line the street, there has to be over 50 of them.
Chance: Looking around as we go into the one eye, still holding her hand
DMaster: You are stopped at the door, by none other than Karson.
Chance: Smile big and give him a hug.
DMaster: He is taken back a bit, but smiles real wide, and hugs back
KAR: Congratulations you two.
Looking at both you and Khamyra.
KAR: Just have some announcements to make.
He runs inside.
Chance: Wait for it.
DMaster: From inside…
KAR: Let’s get to know our wedding party shall we? Everyone at the door, get ready and quit looking over at the booze and cake!
The room laughs.
KAR: First up, is Trinity and Bastian!
They walk in wave their hands. The room erupts with applause.
KAR: Next is Luella and Plugr!
Plugr walks in, a bit flushed remembering who Luella was. Victoria giving him an odd look.
KAR: Put your hands together for Griffin and Kigrial!
The two walk in very stoic and waving, claps and hoots all around.
KAR: Almost there guys, the liquor isn’t going anywhere.
Room giggles a bit.
KAR: The Maid of Honor, Novalee and Best Man Dash!
The room is even louder as they walk in, again Novalee being a goof ball, Dash a bit wide eyed and freaked.
KAR: Here it is, the grand finale, the two people we all came to see!
Karsons voice echos a bit, the room grows very quiet.
KAR: It is my pleasure to introduce you to Chance and Khamyra Axion!
Chance: Walk in with Khamyra on my arm, as proud as anyone can be. Soaking in the moment.
DMaster: The room erupts with cheers, whistles and applause. Rice gets thrown on you and the band is playing a festive tune. Almost everyone surrounds you and congratulates the both of you. The one that lingers the most is your Mom.
Chance: Take my mother aside after most of them disperse and just hug her. She is hugging you back, both tears in your eyes.
Chan: I can’t even explain to you how much I love you.
DMaster: She smiles as a few tears fall down her cheek.
JOS: You already have, many times. I love you too.
Buries her head into you and you hug for a short time more.
KAR: Everyone sit, we are going to eat! We are having… well, I am not sure says here “Alows de Beef with Sauce for Stekys.” This with Turnip tarts and roasted parsnips. Sounds delicious!
The room giggles as the sounds of people chit chatting, and finding their seat is about.
Chance: We are serving what now? Stekys?
DMaster: DM: It’s what I rolled! Just go with it. Also rolled to see if people liked it and got a 19. They loved it. The dinner goes amazing. A bunch of times people clink there glasses and you two kiss.
Chance: Kiss and grab a glass and clink it with Khamyra, look into her big brown eyes
DMaster: Once the dinner was finished, she climbs into your lap and kisses you to everyone cheering and hooting
Chance: wrap my arms around her as she is on my lap and pull back that kiss, taking a deep breath
DMaster: Dash stands up, looks like he is going to throw up.
DASH: Hi.
Everyone stops talking and looks over to him.
KAR: Guess we are doing the blessings from the best man and maid of honor.
Karson says, surprise in his eyes. The room giggles a little and looks over to Dash, who takes a hard swallow.
DASH: I want to raise a glass to these two.
Points at you, almost spilling his drink.
DASH: It seemed like yesterday that we were in wait for a Champion. Then this guy arrives. He has far out succeeded our expectations, and it has to be said… he had a little help. This girl. I have known her for what five years now? The things you can do still amaze, the bravery you convey is… nonparallel. I don’t think many of us would be here without the both of you. So raise a glass to the… dynamic duo. A long life with lots of love… and sex.
Everyone spits out, laughs, chokes. Then everyone takes a drink. Novalee stands up and they all look to her. She seems much more comfortable with the crowd.
Chance: Take a slug of my glass of wine. Look over to Novalee.
DMaster: NOV: Wow. Not sure I can top that. I met… Chance… in less than desirable circumstances.
She wrinkles her nose and shakes her head. Khamyra’s giggle can be heard through out, and everyone glances over curious.
FLASHBACK
Chance: Chan: and just who are you?
looking at her
DMaster: She goes to kneel again
NOV: My name is Novalee
Chance: Chan: no kneeling to me please get up
Pull her hood back
Chan: What clan are you from?
DMaster: She stands up
NOV: Lazziar M’Lord
—later that week —
DMaster: You smell something wonderful cooking, You hear other noises in the house, notice a big table with chairs, a cupboard and a rug at the entrance.
Chance: Chan: something smells good (look farther into my home) okay what’s going on Khamyra?
DMaster: A blonde woman sticks her head out from the back of the staircase
NOV: M’Lord
She walks out and bends to one knee
Chance: Roll my eyes and shake my head
Chan: Novalee
DMaster: KHA: Thought you might need some help so I busted this bitch out of the dungeons
Pops a piece of carrot in her mouth.
Chance: my eyes get a little big
Chan: I hope you didn’t really bust her out
giving her a look shaking my head
Chan: Goddammit, I don’t need anymore shit coming down on me
Last scene taken from EP#35 – Gone From The City
NOV: But Chance took me in when I had no where to go. Khamyra was there to help me whenever I needed it. They are my best friends and…
Chance: Interrupting.
Chan: NO, Novie, you are our Family my dear, we love you.
Giving her a sweet smile.
DMaster: The room melts as Novalee starts to choke up a bit, giving her “lord” a big smile.
NOV: Well, raise your glass before I start to cry into mine…
The room laughs.
NOV: May your home always be warm, your love even warmer and the battles ahead a great success.
Everyone raises their glasses and drinks.
KAR: Next up, cutting of the cake!
He ruffles a paper around
KAR: It was a gift from Sir Jeramiah!
You can practically hear Affinity and Cassie roll their eyes.
Chance: My eyes get big
Chan: shall we my… wife?
DMaster: She smiles real wide,
KHA: Yes, my Husband.
You two grab hands and walk over. Jerry standing there, drool on his lip, hands behind his back
JER: I hope you like your Wedding gift
Chance: Giving him a suspicious look, with a growing smile on my face.
DMaster: Jerry smiles back, then he takes a double look to two woman standing, hands on hips staring at him. Those women being Cassie and Affinity.
Chance: I pick up the cutter and look to Khamyra. Then looking over at Jerry and smiling
DMaster: You two hold it together and cut a piece out. Everyone claps, it gets put on a plate
Chance: Chan: I think you are going to like this cake, no actually I think you are going to love it
DMaster: As she is putting down the cutter, she looks at you oddly,
KHA: Have you been drinking too much? We had this together at the King and Queens wedding, remember?
Chance: Think for a moment.
Chan: Oh yeah, thats right.
DMaster: Khamyra hands him the plate with a fork, he playfully shrugs his shoulders. Then Jerry grabs it and digs in, Khamyra laughs as does the rest of the room
Chance: Smiling at that, we cut another piece, just looking at Jerry chuckle and then glance at Khamyra
DMaster: You two cut pieces for yourself and head back to your table. Novalee takes over the cake cutting job. It is amazing. Khamyra is sounding like she is getting finger blasted right now. You finish, as does everyone else, a lot of second helpings. Cassie stops Jerry from third helpings much to his displeasure.
Chance: Look out over the party, take it all in. Sit back and eat and just look over watching her
DMaster: Many familiar faces here. Dash is now sitting with his plus one, which is River. Cullun is talking with an older attractive woman. Talia is stealing her dads cake when he is not looking. Victoria is rolling her eyes at it, but grinning ear to ear. Quinton, then in turn steals some from Talia when she isn’t looking. Helkyr, Griffin and Renata are talking. King, Queen, Baroness, and Duke all together chit chatting. It is a wonderful scene. Your Black Ward members all together now, Harlow, Trent, Killian, Tucla, and Bastian. Valentine declined the invite.
Chance: Looking at dash smiling, I will make my rounds with Khamyra.
DMaster: You stop by Sisse’s table, meet her husband. Then grab the Kiddos, and start talking to a few people, shaking hands, hugging and thanking them. Birgetta and Erikka give you the biggest hug. Then Karson stops the mood music.
KAR: Kigrial, get your behind up here, clear the dance floor, this will be our couples first dance
Chance: Smiling, Drop off the Kids with Mom or Sisse, I take Khamyra’s hands and walk out to the dance floor.
DMaster: You can hear Kigrial talk with Karson,
KIG: Get my behind up here, really?
Karson looks a bit stunned getting scolded, shrugs his shoulders and sits down to play his instrument. Kigrial gets the band members start and everyone stands and looks on. You two get close, her voice is pretty damn good.
Chance: Not going to fight the happy tears as we dance
DMaster: You are dancing along. Khamyra looks up to you
KHA: Ever think we would of reached this point? It’s kind of amazing…
Chance: Chan: Yeah, I knew it. If anyone had the will to make it happen, it was Finster. He has been rooting for us every step of the way.
DMaster: She chuckles and smiles.
KHA: Yeah, all the times you told me he said hi.
She gives you a kiss on your cheek. Karsons eyes bulge a bit hearing Kigrial, big smile and nodding his head.
FLASHBACK
Chance: Chan: He reminded me that I am still young and need to experience and learn things as well as to control some of my powers
DMaster: She stops and looks at you, giving you a “uhh yeah” look.
KHA: Told you
Smiles softly.
Chance: Shake my head.
Chan: He also mentioned you by name
looking at her waiting for her reaction.
DMaster: She stops, smirks and looks at you in disbelief
KHA: Yeah, nice try
laughs a little.
Chance: Giving her a serious look
Chan: Does it look like I am kidding?
DMaster: Her look turns more serious.
KHA: What did he say then? “What a failure that dark elf is…” (tries to mimic his voice)
Chance: Shake my head
Chan: First off, he doesn’t sound like that. and secondly; he thinks very highly of you. His exact words were “That Khamyra, she is really something.”
Look down and grab her hand, then look into her eyes.
Chan: It made me smile, I just said “yes, she is amazing…”
DMaster: Her eyes are still big, almost welling up. She leans up and gives you a kiss.
Scene taken from EP#40 – Back From The Dead
Chance: Just get lost in this moment, listening to the song, holding her close to me.
Chan: I am not sure what to even say anymore…
Looking back down to her.
DMaster: She looks up to you and kisses you
KHA: I know, words just don’t seem to cut it anymore, my love is beyond that.
Chance: Kiss her back and hold her hand close to my heart. Then towards the end lift her up, change over and give her a kiss. Knowing full well we will get sparks.
DMaster: Everyone applauds as the song ends with you two in a kissing embrace, the a snap and a spark and everyone backs up with a few yells.
KAR: Whoa, seriously, get a room you two!
Everyone laughs and claps with wider eyes than before.
KAR: Mom? Josephine?
Your mom pops out of the crowd and walks to you.
Chance: Hold my hand out, take hers in mine. I know the tears are coming and cant stop them. Lean my head down a bit as we dance
DMaster: DM: I chose a song and it was mine, for me and my mom on that fateful wedding night. So it’s hard not to tear up a little since she has passed.
JOS: My Son.
You start to dance, and she begins to softly cry, holding you very tight. Kigrial is just amazing with her vocals, almost sounds like Celine Dion, whoa!
Chance: I know she can feel me doing the same, crying softly, holding her tight. Never want to let her go.
DMaster: Not a dry eye in the house. You two slowly sway back and forth, just crying and letting each other know how much you love each other, without saying a word.
Chance: Just letting the tears flow as we keep dancing, forgetting everyone around for a moment. Remembering how she adopted me, how she raised me, dedicated her life to me and never ever stopped loving me.
DMaster: The songs ends and you give your mom a kiss on her forehead. You both are a bit of a blubbery mess. You take her over to a table and you both are wiping tears and blowing noses. Kigrial steps down and someone else steps up to sing. Her family, Kerenza, Kigrial, Khamyra and Landon are all dancing together to another song.
Chance: Finish wiping my tears, blowing nose and just hold my mom’s hand, watching them.
DMaster: You are talking to people who came, shaking hands as they walk by or approach you.
Chance: Making sure to guide mom around once she calms down
DMaster: After their dance, they come over to you and hug you, as well as your Mom. You get introductions out of the way, but they said they already kind of met the day before. You and Khamyra make a good sweep of the place, talking to almost everyone. Then Birgetta gets on stage.
BIR: OK, I want to apologize to those who might find this a little offensive, but it is a song that I used to sing back in Vermeer, back in the day. I am getting a lot of requests for it, so here it goes.
She downs a shot and Karson starts playing. Birgetta sings and she does a great job, most of the crowd enjoys it despite the swear words. Then a few other songs roll by, when Karson stops.
KAR: As the party continues, I want to offer up an Onyx Elf tradition. It is called the Bells of the Fallen. Anyone wanted to honor a fallen one, please head back to Chance and Khamyra’s. Everything is set up.
Khamyra grabs your hand and you walk back to your home, and through the side entrance – through the archway of flowers.
Chance: Holding Khamyra’s hand as we walk back home
DMaster: Candles all over, no chairs, just six tables, with a picture on each, except the last and a bell on each one. You are meant to look at the picture, remember them, and ring a bell to tell them, you are thinking of them. DM: Coming soon. I haven’t figured out how I want to do this, so I condensed it for now.
Chance: Ferellus:
letting the tears flow as I hit the bell
Shanna:
thinking of her I take a deep breath and hit the bell
Morty:
more tears fall as I hit the bell thinking of him and hoping morty sees this
Rosalynda:
shake a bit thinking of that moment and ring the bell
Arlo:
looking at the picture a few sad tears mix with the happy ones and a small smile goes to my face, before I ring the last bell.
DMaster: The last table has a large parchment on it, with an inkwell and writer. Some names on the parchment, and after writing them you can ring the bell. You walk away a bit, you and Khamyra have a good cry in remembrance. More and more people sift through, the bells are getting hit and it is very soothing, knowing they are remembered.
Chance: Hugging Khamyra tight, she smiles, a few tears fall and sniffles hearing the bells
DMaster: You glance over and Plugr is at the first table. He isn’t moving. If you didn’t know any better he is shaking a bit.
Chance: I pull back from Khamyra and give her a look, and then look back towards Plugr, then make my way over to him and put my hand on his shoulder
DMaster: He jumps a bit, then wipes a tear – he was in obvious deep thought. He is just staring at Ferellus’s image
Chance: Chan: I miss him too, Plugr
with my hand still on his shoulder.
DMaster: Shaking his head slowly, wringing his hands. Talks quietly.
PLUG: This is the first time I have seen his face since… that night, that goddam horrific night…
Clenching his jaw, shaking his head.
PLUG: I will never forgive myself for what I did on the island. Never.
Chance: Try to look him in the eyes.
DMaster: He can’t, and won’t. He is looking down and is shaking a bit. Take slow deep breaths, glancing once or twice to the picture.
Chance: Chan: Plugr you didn’t do anything that needs forgiveness. They each had their own path to follow, and it was his decision, he knew…
Try to get him to look at me.
DMaster: PLUG: Chance.
Looks up, glaring a bit.
PLUG: He didn’t know, hell, no one knew. But everyone down there had training or the skill… except…
He looks down, tears start to flow, gasps a bit. You have never seen him like this, extremely tense, he keeps glancing over to the picture.
Chance: Chan: look at me, my friend
DMaster: He goes to pull away when in the corner of your eye you see Cassie approaching. Her face is flushing as well, coming to a stand still. She then grabs Plugr, looking at him.
CASS: I know my friend. I know.
Tears starting down her face too.
CASS: We didn’t really think it through, and…
She glances over to Ferellus’s image. Cassie looks down and tears start more. Plugr looks at her, tilts his head with a soft smile. Puts his hand to her cheek.
PLUG: We lost him.
The Baroness looks around a bit, tears streaming and back to Plugr who is just looking down, trying to get himself under control.
FLASHBACK
Chance runs over to Ferellus. He slides into him and picks up his head, “Ferellus, buddy, time to wake up, no more screwing around.”
He looks up, “fuck, this hurts bad Chance, like when I fell off the bridge last summer” he says gurgling a little blood from his mouth.
Chance looks frantically around, looks back to Ferellus wiping the blood from his face, “You shouldn’t of took my bet, you dumbass, no way you make it the whole way on the bridge railing in that wind,” chance responds, remembering that night together.
“Help is coming, I think I hear them now,” he says knowing damn well the only help they might get is a long way off. He looks down the hallways and sees movement coming at them, from further into the compound. Chances heart sinks knowing there is no way they could take on anything else.
“It was a hell of a shot, wasn’t it?” Ferellus blurts out, referring to his last shot that lodged right in between the dogs eyes. His eyes glossing over, tears rolling down the side of his face. Coughs and blood comes trickling out.
Chance smiles softly, “It was bud, it might of saved my life too…” the quarter elf says, pushing his hair away from his face.
Ferellus looks up to him, dirt and blood splashed across the face. Chance, his best friend since he can remember. Memories flood into his mind, and he thinks to himself… so this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes. The pain is slowly fading away.
The vision of a brilliant sunset comes to Ferellus. A perfect evening on the beach. For some reason he wants to laugh, Chance is just being his goofy self again. He can see him, his long hair blowing around in the usual ocean breeze. He is dancing around, whistling a tune, moving farther away. The quarter elf stops, looks back at him. “You know Ferellus, I am really going to miss you,” Chance says, now barely visible in his dream like state. What an odd thing to say, we are going to leave the island and explore this world together… aren’t we? But a sudden jolt, a realization hits him. He takes a labored breath.
Ferellus opens his eyes again, and for one last time, he smiles at his brother in all but blood. He mumbles, “I’ll miss you too buddy…” Ferellus closes his eyes, tears still streaming down his face, his head tilts to one side and he is quiet.
Scene taken from EP#17 – One Bloody Night
Chance: Put my arms around the both of them.
DMaster: They lean in and nod their heads. Both a bit distraught.
CASS: This is a nice tradition, but maybe not for a wedding…
She says frowning a bit seeing Ferellus’s and Shanna’s image beyond you two. Khamyra comes over, shaking her head a bit.
KHA: No, it is perfect for a wedding. It is to new beginnings. That means remembering the fallen and letting them be, to live your best life. This is not meant to be something taken in guilt, but in remembrance and contemplation… that leads to acceptance. A way to heal.
Chance: Glancing at everyone there, giving my wife a loving look.
DMaster: PLUG: Chance, Khamyra. Congratulations.
He turns and walks away but Plugr suddenly stops just a stones throw from him. Talia stands there, giving her father an overwhelming look, her eyes are welling up. The Old Knight with tears now forming again in his eyes, just melts seeing his love of his life just standing there.
TAL: Dad?
They hug fiercely. Cassie smiles seeing that, and looks back to you.
CASS: I know what he is feeling… because I feel it too. We made one hell of a mistake and it was devastating. I am not sure I will ever forgive myself either.
She stands in front of his image
CASS: You deserved so much more…
A few tears fall down her face, shaking, remembering the events of that horrible night.
Chance: look at her for a minute and wrap my arm around her from behind, putting my chin on her shoulder.
Chan: He is up with Animax you know.
DMaster: CASS: Yeah, probably.
Nodding her head.
Chance: Shake head and chuckle. Talk quietly.
Chan: No, he is. I was afforded the opportunity to see him and his sister. They are both with Animax, and they are both happy.
DMaster: Cassie turns with tears in her eyes, not believing you until she reads you. She then embraces you and the both of you hug for a short time, crying softly.
Chance: Chan: I hope you know this was his decision, he knew the dangers. You once told me that being a hero comes with a lot of grief, it’s part of the job. but I feel acceptance is next on the list.
Giving her a look.
Chan: I love you Cass.
Kiss her on the cheek.
DMaster: She looks at you stunned, devastated and oddly enough lovingly. Then hugs you again fiercely and whispers
CASS: I love you too… my Champion.
Everyone gets themselves in order, and head back to one-eye. Worried that Jerry might have ate all the cake
Chance: Make our way back to check on the cake walking with Khamyra hand in hand
DMaster: lol its there, Jerry is still eyeing it up though
KAR: Now that he is back, we have a special request, My Queen and Chance?
Chance: Smile real big looking over to the queen
DMaster: She is standing in perfect form, looking to you, smile just as wide. The dance floor is empty, and the band is waiting on you.
Chance: Walk to her, bow a bit and kiss her hand.
Chan: Your Grace…
DMaster: Affinity chuckles remembering that was the first thing you said to each other.
FLASHBACK
DMaster: You see Valario head to the stairs and Helynne leaves. The Princess walks down with both of her maidens. She has changed into a beautiful flowing soft white gown, with some golden accents, higher heeled shoes and some expensive jewelry. Both her maidens also look much nicer than when they walked in.
VAL: M’lady, where is it you would like to go? We do not have an itinerary for this day.
Affinity looks at Valario concerning and smiles
AFF: Oh dear Valario, you are going to pass out with all that armor on, it is hotter than Animax’s fireplace.
Chance: trying not to be too obvious but look over at the princess
DMaster: VAL: It is a bit warm I must say, my grace (wiping forehead) but I will be fine
The Princess smiles softly and motions out to the entrance, where the guard barracks are.
AFF: No. That’s an order, there is no rush and I will wait here for you. Go change into something more… appropriate
The Knight smiles and nods
VAL: As you wish my grace
He heads outside to the makeshift guard hut. The Princess finishes the descent down the stairs with her ladies. looks around and spots you and your mom. She strides over to the front desk where you stand. She has this aura about her, radiant. Her ladies seem to be perfect girls, just following behind her, both looking shy.
Chance: follow my mom’s lead
DMaster: Affinity holds out her hand and your mom kisses it, then curtsies. Then the Princess puts her hand out to you.
Chance: bow and kiss her hand as well
Chan: Your grace.
DMaster: You look up and your eyes meet. She stares for a moment while you are drinking in her beauty. Affinity backs up a bit, shaking off her staring contest with you.
AFF: And what are your names?
MOM: umm… uhhh… I am Josephine and this is my son Chance, my Grace.
The Princess looks at you then back at your mom.
Chance: Chan: (nods) Chance, yes, my name is… Chance.
Stumbling over the words, regretting it instantly.
DMaster: Affinity smirks and is looking at you both perplexed, eyebrow raised
AFF: Your… son? Well, it is a pleasure to meet you both. and I would say I do not want any special treatment while I am here
She looks around, glances at you and giggles
AFF: I guess it’s a little too late for that
Chance: Chan: I guess it is your grace
Give her a smile
Scene taken from EP#5 – The Princess
DMaster: The music starts and you two dance.
AFF: I think this should be a tradition for us, what do you say?
Chance: Smile a bit, and looking into her gorgeous green eyes.
Chan: A tradition you say?
DMaster: She nods and puts her head on your chest.
AFF: The last dance of any ball, or wedding that we are both at… is a dance between Queen and her Champion.
Chance: Hold back the tears a bit. Put head down a bit and kiss the top of her head.
Chan: That would be my honor.
DMaster: The song was like 4 minutes long, but it only seems a minute. The connection between you and the Queen is beyond just a physical need to fuck, it is truly a connection many would be jealous of. After the song she looks up, with a big smile.
Chance: Give her a kiss on the cheek.
Chan: My beautiful Queen.
Bow a bit.
DMaster: She steps back and curtsies as well
AFF: My Champion…
You and Khamyra finish making the rounds again, thanking people and saying good bye, before it officially ends. People all have left or have gone. Just a few stragglers and some people starting to clean up.
Chance: Take one last look around. What a day.
DMaster: After a few minutes of looking around, you head back home. Around the side and to the backyard. Lanterns still lit, streamers still there, and it is quiet except for the occasional katydid.
Chance: wrap my arms around her looking over the yard
DMaster: KHA: Wait do you hear that, what the hell is that?
She pulls away for a second looking around, you can hear it too…
Chance: looking around, I listen
DMaster: Just then…
