SyePrice's profile

The king watched Sye's face as the young man left and with a smile on his face, he teased her. "So, my dear, what do you think of our Sir Lars?" he jeered. "He is very soft spoken," Sye answered, and again the timid smile returned. "Ah, I see a twinkle in your eye!" the king laughed. "Perhaps you might want to speak a bit more with the young knight?" "Father, do not tease me," she blushed. "He is but one of your knights. You have many in your army!" "Ah, that is true! But none have brought that scarlet color to your cheek!" he laughed.

Princess Taryn
Luke was turning and tossing in his bed when he heard a voice coming to him, "Little brother I need you to come home! Mother needs our help! Please come soon." The message was so vivid that Luke awoke with a start and was sweating! He got out of bed and went to the window and looked back towards the Vail, and the voice came to him again, "Little brother please come as soon as possible!" Shocked by the clarity of the message he couldn't figure out why they were calling him Little Brother as he was the oldest child of his parents. He decided to visit his grandparents to see if he could get some answers. "Brother," a voice came to Luke on his path. Luke looked around, but saw no one. He shimmered to human form and searched through the trees for a sign, when finally he saw her. She was hidden in the sun's rays and looked like himself only a young woman. "Little Brother," she said, "Thank you for following your heart. You have not seen, but yet you believe what your mother has said. What she has told you is true and in time, your father will also believe. But it will only be granted unto you." "What will be granted to me Taryn?" Luke asked. "Ah, you know me. Very good. Then you know that I work for our family," Taryn said. "Our relatives, the fairies, have hidden her well and have given her my name so as not to create a new birth record. You will find the baby if you go there. Use your heart. For Father is confused and grieving and cannot feel by his heart right now. This is how they were able to trick him. Go, move forward and I will lead you. I promise you will not fail."

Luke saw Sheri, knowing he must do something quickly.
"The black dragon made one pass over the ship and Sheri knew this was her answer. One more rung and he would reach her, sparing the others their lives..."

Thinking and speaking slowly as if considering each detail as she spoke, "Not another place, but another source. It was once told that the first born of the union of King Odin's daughter and her husband would have an unexplained wealth of power." She remembered as she told the story, "That at his conception, his mother felt him move immediately in the womb and that he protected her from there." "But where would we find that child, Mistress?" the creature asked. "Not child," she looked at him as she stroked his neck from behind, "But young man now... and he is on his way here. How convenient that he will not be far from our home," she laughed, and when she did she let go an evil hiss.
The mark on his chest started glowing and Luke began to rise up off the ground. The temptress came to him and his mark became white hot. "I see you're experimenting in how to reach me, this is good seeing as your queen has thrown you to the side. I’m the only woman you need," she said and she started to materialize in front of him. Luke opened his eyes as she stood there naked in front of him. "Come to me my lover," she said. As Luke rose to go to her, Taryn began whispering in his ear, "I’m right here brother. I’ve almost got it, just a few seconds more... okay I’ve got it!" Taryn said, "Now don't touch her! Close your eyes and think of the Vail and hunting rabbits with Loki and Zira. Slowly but surely the mark glowed less and less and her image faded until she was gone and only Taryn and Luke remained. ..... Sheri or the Temptress

Princess Taryn
"Hi Dad! The city is all a-flutter with the news that the Royal Family is here! I had to go ask someone who the family was," she laughed. "Then I found out it was us! Anyway, I'd like to ask you permission for Amy to stay with me for a week or two. I thought she could use a little instruction on how to be a refined young diplomat. But Mom told me to ask you. Can she stay with me? I mean, I am certain you and Mom don't need her around all of the time, if you understand?" Taryn winked at her father. "What do you say?" "Okay Sweetie, you can stay with your sister for awhile and get your feet wet with the diplomats." Light said.

Princess Amethyst
At the Vail, Amy helped her father tend the horses. She had learned to groom them and feed them and shovel the stalls out. Although, mostly Light took that task on as he continually told her it was not a task for a young lady of distinction. But Amy was more a tomboy than a lady. She loved the horses and often took hers out and rode bareback. Several times she scared her mother riding past their porch and holding on to nothing but the mane while she rode upsidedown. Light was amused, but Sye continually reminded him that she would need to learn social etiquette before her studies in Drasnia as a diplomat in a few years.

A Watchful Sye Getting to the boundary, Light looked for Luke and the man. He saw them out in the distance and closed in quickly on them, shimmering back to human form and approaching them. Luke saw his father and ran to him where Light looked at him and checked him for injuries. Quickly, Light drew his sword and advanced on the man. "I thought I told you to stay away! Now either you're hard of hearing or just plain stupid!" "Hold on," said the man, "I was called here! So before you take another step, ask the boy!" Light paused and turned to look at Luke, knowing this was a mistake as you never turn your back on your enemy. The stranger struck with blinding speed! Light barely was able to side step the blow and block the next! Now facing the man, he said, "Well that was your chance, Mister! You'll not get a second one!" With that, Light brought his sword up in an arcing swing! The stranger easily parried the swing drawing his poniard. Light slashed underneath the stranger's defenses and once again they faced each other. Quickly glancing to see where Luke was, he saw the grey wolf with black ear tips and knew Luke was safe with Sye. The bear and the fox were just coming to Light's side when the stranger saw that he was outnumbered and said, "This is all I needed to see!" He laughed and added, "Another time wolf! Make no mistake for we willll meet again!" Then he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Bear came up to Light and said, "You're bleeding Boss. Let me take a look." Sye shimmered and held Luke, all the while she was looking on at Bear and Light. Then she saw Light stumble a bit. "Light? Is he ok, Bear?" Fox saw the injury and Sye's worry, so he came over to take Luke by the shoulder and gave her a stern look, not wanting to say anything in front of the child. Sye saw the urgency in Fox's glance and ran to Light's side. "Light? Oh Bear! Help him!! Please!!" She reached for Light's arm, but she saw the blood left on her sleeve. "What can I do? Just tell me," Sye asked quickly as she stared at Bear. Elaine - Matriarch of Light's Family - deceased yet active in Spirit! Aldo - Light's Father and to the Ji'na... The Great Wolf!

Sheri
But as the cheers from the crowd grew, Sheri noticed a flickering light from the blade of her sword. She watched it quickly and saw the reflection of Zap for a brief second before it disappeared. Astonished momentarily, the smile wiped from her face. Then the sound of the cheers returned and Luke squeezed her hand. She smiled and waved to her people.
Sheri and Zap

A Different Enemy
Sheri looked at Luke and then finished the food on her plate. She watched the tavern wenches dancing and then saw that the guys were enjoying to the fullest the ale. Pie smiled and winked at one of the girls and Ohno wore a smile as well. But Luke seemed all too interested in the dancing. "Well, you can stay and enjoy the atmosphere," said Sheri. "I am going to get myself a room." Sheri felt the coin she had left in her pocket, "If you will excuse me, Sir?" But Luke made no remark. "If you are enjoying their dance so, m'Lord, why don't you join them?" Sheri snapped. "Nope, just never saw anything like this. The ale is having its effect on me, so I think you're right about getting some rest. Let's go and get the rooms all set up." Turning to Pie and Ohno, "Hey guys, remember that Inn back up the road? Go there and a room will be waiting for you when you're done here." Then he slapped them on the shoulders and left with Sheri. When they arrived at the Inn, they paid and signed for the rooms and went upstairs. Luke walked Sheri to her door, which was down the hall several doors away from his. He unlocked her door and handed Sheri the key. "Thanks Luke," she smiled. "I'll meet you in the morning to tell you about the conversation prior to your meeting." As the key touched Sheri's hand, Luke held her hand a moment longer and kissed it, "Until the morning, m'lady," he said and turned to find his room. Then a moment later he turned back to her, "Excuse me, I seem to be a little confused here. Could you please point me in the right direction?" Sheri pointed him towards his room down the hall. Then with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, she closed her door and took from her pack the 7 SCARVES more correctly referred to as veils. Once she was dressed, careful to place the veils just right as not to reveal too much, she gently opened her door, tiptoed to Luke's door and knocked softly. Hearing the knock on the door and figuring it to be Pie or Ohno, Luke just yelled, "Come in!" as he finished taking off his clothes and headed into the wash room. Sheri slid into the room and stood momentarily, wondering if she should have even thought of this. "Why not?" she asked herself. "He was the one to kiss me on deck and he was the one who protected me! Least I can do is provide some entertainment." So she glided across the floor of his room until he was in sight. His back was turned to her, so she walked up behind him, and taking just one veil from the one which was her sash, she threw it over his shoulder and let it gently fall across his chest. Tugging at it lightly, the silk slid across his skin as he began to turn in her direction. He turned to see where the veil had come from and saw Sheri standing there. He became very excited as she moved back out into the sleeping area. Luke followed her and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "This is far superior to those other girls." Sheri didn't say a word, only wriggled her way around him and removed another veil. She bent backwards across his lap and took the veil wrapped close to her breast from its place and slid it across his nose so that when he was able to see through it, he saw a hint of her bare skin glistening in the candlelight. Reaching for her, she danced her way out of his grasp and then back in. He saw the patch of her bare skin and tried to imagine how she would look totally naked. Noticing that his eyes looked a little glazed over and that he was swooning in her movements, she removed two more veils and made certain to touch his skin with each one so that he would feel the smoothe sensuous softness of the silk. Coming closer to look into his eyes, she released the third veil from her face and came close to his lips...as if she were going to kiss him. But as her eyes drew his attention, she took his hand and put it on one of the two remaining veils which covered her body and softly said, "Take this," giving him the corner of the veil to pull. Luke looked into her eyes and gave the veil a good tug and watched what happened next with great anticipation. Sheri spun softly and as the veil reached its end, she laid herself backwards across his lap. Smiling at him, she took his other hand and placed it on the veil's corner, the last veil, as she wiped the smile from her face and looked into his eyes with a longing wish. As the last veil was closed only by a loose knot, Luke tugged again and watched Sheri as the last veil fell to the ground. He leaned forward and kissed her deeply, moving his left hand to hold her close and his right hand to caress her body. Now that she was as totally naked as he was, he reached for her wholly and kissed her lips deeply, falling back onto the bed with her on top of him. Sliding to his mouth, Sheri kissed him as she had wished for so long with so much passion that they did not notice the noise in the hall, or when their door opened. With the loud click, Luke thought quickly and grabbed the covers and threw them across Sheri's body and held her still. "Whoa!" Pie exclaimed. "Sorry, we must have the wrong room." "Yeah, when you've had as much drink as we have, all the doors look alike!" Ohno added. "Excuse the interruption." The two of them backed out of the room. Luke looked at Sheri and smiled, "They seemed pretty drunk. Maybe they won't even remember anything." He went back to kissing her. Sheri leaned up on Luke's chest as she peaked at him still under the covers. She slowly moved off of his chest, not even wrapping herself in the covers, and sat on the side of the bed. At a moment's notice she began to cry. Luke sat up next to her and put his arms around her. He kissed ner neck, "What's the matter, Sheri?" "I have felt things for you since that day at the academy," she sobbed. "Feelings that I didn't understand. I watched your folks and I see how loving they are and then there is you..." She paused and turned to watch his reaction. "We shouldn't do this. I never intended for you to get that last veil. I thought you would have fallen asleep or something. But..." she stopped and touched his thigh, "but when I looked into your eyes, when I gave you the corner of the second to last veil, I knew that I wanted this to happen." Sheri turned to him, totally disrobed, "then if you know these things in your heart, it is all I could ever ask." She touched his forehead to push the hair out of his eyes. "And that tonight may not happen tonight, but it will in the future, because I hold you here," and she took his hand and placed it on her breast, "in my heart." Sheri kissed his cheek, wrapped in the blanket and left to return to her room where she dressed and slid back into her own bed. Sheri woke with the sunlight streaming through her window. She splashed some water on her face and dressed, but then she noticed a veil out on the night stand and remembered where she had left the rest of them. "No, now what do I do?" she thought, "Leave them there or knock on his door?" Then she remembered what had happened and what almost came of her antics. She wondered if Pie and Ohno had seen her and if they really knew it was Luke's room.
"Luke, What Fox means is that the people who are here for the investigation are expecting to see you as your wolf or as you," Sheri explained. "Fox doesn't want you to shimmer to your dragon because the enemy is looking for you to do that." "Not only that Sheri," Fox added. "They are looking for you to lead them to the dragon! Are you aware of that?" "Yes, I overheard that the other day," Sheri confessed. "But do they know why I am here?" "No," Fox answered. "And we do not want to give them a clue, so be mindful of that!" Then Fox turned to Luke, "You are not just silent muscle, ok? I have a job for you, but right now I won't go into it." "Okay," said Luke, "you guys are the spies. I can keep a low profile and wait for my orders. In the meantime, are we going into the castle and look for Sheri's brother? Will you be able to recognize him?" Luke asked. "We are going into the castle walls, not inside," Fox said, "because I need to scout the entrances. Sheri would you recognize him?" "I think," she said, "I hope!" "Well then, you might see him tonight," Fox smiled. "He's working the main gate and we will need a distraction. Do you have your veils?" "Yes," she answered. "Put them on, young lady. You will be the main event while Luke and I slip inside," Fox answered. "I want to check on the horses." Fox walked away from them as Sheri began to pull the veils from her pack. Luke walked up to her and touched her shoulder gently. She stood to face him. "I know what you are thinking Luke," Sheri said as she came closer. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." But as she turned to walk away, he touched her shoulder again. This time Sheri was the one to move in and kiss Luke, pressing her lips to his and then she separated slightly. "So you know," she whispered. "I love you too." Once again, she kissed him and then disappeared behind some nearby shrubs to get dressed in her veils. Fox whispered, "Luke, come with me I need you to scout out something. Luke went with Fox and asked what he needed. "I want you to scout out those listening posts and just take notice of anything else. Meet me back here." Luke shimmered into the wolf and cautiously went about his task. As Luke left, Fox noted that he had a shadow. One of a grey wolf. So he smiled, realizing that he had his grandfather watching over him. That left Fox to check on Sheri. "Are you ready yet?" Fox called to her. "Almost. What will I be doing?" Sheri asked as she emerged from the bushes. "Exactly what you are doing to me now, knocking the eyeballs out," Fox stood smiling. "What?" Sheri asked. "Just hold their attention, Darlin'. Luke and I are going to do the rest, this time," Fox smiled. "Next time, you will help." Luke was doing his job making note of all the listening posts and what kind of weapons they had, when on the way back to Fox he noticed a grey wolf out in the distance putting his muzzle into the air and sniffing found that he was a familiar scent but didn't have the time to investigate. He would have sent him a message but thought better of it... no need in announcing where they were. The grey wolf saw him, acknowledged him and ran off into the forest. Then Luke went back to find Fox. "OK," Fox told Sheri, "when Luke returns then you will ride with me. We want you to appear from nowhere and simply float on the breeze as if you are a hallucination of their wildest fantasies. Think you can handle that?" "Handle?" Sheri said, a bit distracted. "Yes, yes, anything you want Fox, but..." she stammered a bit. "Yes?" Fox crooned as he smiled, knowing already what she was going to say. "Could I please ride with Luke instead?" she asked. "No, because he will not know how to do this," Fox admitted. "This has to be perfect, Sheri. No room for errors." "Yes sir," she relinquished. "I am your student, afterall." Luke loped up and shimmered by Fox and Sheri and reported what he had seen and that he saw the grey wolf. Luke was aware of who it was. "How did he get here?" Luke asked. "I don't know," said Fox. "He greeted me when I arrived so he's been here for a while. We'll have to find him and see what he knows. Are ready to move out?" "Sure," said Luke. "Ready and willing." Fox mounted his horse and Luke as well, but when he saw them leaving Sheri's horse tied, he watched her. As Sheri hoped up behind Fox, Luke looked at her strangely and Fox noticed the glance. "Questioning your elders, Luke?" Fox looked at him sternly, implanting in his mind that he was not the leader while Fox was there. "No Sir," said Luke, but he still wasn't sure what was going to happen next. "Ok then," and Fox turned his horse around. "Hold on, Sheri! This is going to be a swift drop!" They rode toward the castle and reached there under the cover of night. Fox held his hand up for Luke to stop and then he continued to get Sheri as close to the entrance gate as he could. "You are on your own here, my dear," Fox cautioned her. "Luke and I will be inside. If anything happens, protect yourself and get back to where we separated with Luke, ok?" "Sure Fox," she agreed, "but if they discover me before I can get out, take Luke and get out of here. I'm prepared for the worst with them." "Yeah, well maybe I'm not! I've never lost an agent yet and don't intend on doing that now. So off you go," he said, and Sheri jumped down. "May their dreams come true, m'Lady. Luke and I will see to the rest." She smiled back at him without a word, then waited for him to get out of sight. Sheri danced her way through the shrubs which lined the border, showing herself and then disappearing behind the bushes. Then she thought of another way! While Sheri danced, the veils waved in the light breeze. She stepped out from the shrubs and caught the attention of the two men at the gate. As she drew closer, she used her own magic and disappeared so what they saw was the veils flickering and dancing alone in the breeze. As she glided closer, she materialized and they could see her again. Just as one guard began to approach her, she disappeared. Fox and Luke waited for Sheri to work her work her magic and when the guards attention was focused on her, they slipped inside the castle and waited by the door to make sure they weren't seen. "Okay," said Fox, "We are looking for anything that can connect the wizard with the powers to be here in Anitae. If we can prove he's been giving any information away, when we find him the king gives his permission to take him out. Then we can go back and dismantle their spy network in the Realm." The closer she got to the men, the more she saw and in the half-light, she thought it was her brother in the doorway. She backed away again and disappeared. One of the guards atop the castle wall was watching Sheri and told his partner to keep watch. He went down to the front gate and spoke with the two guards and then disappeared. Sheri danced on and appeared, getting even closer to them when like a bolt, she was struck and knocked to the ground before she could disappear again. Two of the men carried her inside the castle while the last kept watch. Luke heard some noise from back at the main gate so he tapped Fox on the shoulder. "They got Sheri," he said. "I can't hear her music anymore." "We have to get out of here, Luke," Fox reminded him. "We can't do anything crazy right now. C'mon we'll come back for her. Trust me okay?" Luke hesitated. "Boy, you cannot jeopardize this mission because you are distracted! Focus!" Fox whispered sternly. "Okay, Uncle Fox," Luke whispered, but not letting go of his fears for her. Sheri was taken before a council of people from Anitae, but the head of the council told the guards to lock her in a holding room with no windows. Then he instructed for them to send for the apothecary.

Princess Zira
She came to the glade where the patch of meadow flowers were growing. She picked one then sat down cross-legged in the grass and marveled at its beauty. How delicate the petals were and the inner beauty that sprang up from the center. Each tender pistol upright and glistening for the bees to pollinate them... reminded her of herself. She wanted so much to be the beauty that would catch Buck's eye. Princess Amy
