Jamie took the chance to slip away when all of the guards were distracted. He started to run towards his home, knowing that if the guards decided to search there, which they probably would, he would have time to hide anything he, his sisters, or his father may have that could get one of them arrested.
Wren threw another rock, causing a deer to bolt. Stick snapping, it bolted.
As the guards turned toward the sound, Wren saw Jamie dash the opposite direction, coming right her way.
As he dashed by, she grabbed his arm, pulled him close and clapped a hand over his mouth.
"We need to talk. Now."
He nodded his head and took Wren's hand off his mouth. He grabbed her hand and started to run deeper into the woods, to a spot where the guards would be out of earshot.
After they had run a distance, they stopped.
"If those guards know what's good for them, they had better not touch my inks and quills." She muttered straightening her habit and brushing silver strands of hair out of her face. She turned to Jamie, "Who did you steal that necklace from? Do you have any idea what that necklace is depicting?!?!"
//still open?
(I guess, it's not my place to say yes though….)
(Yes it is open, sorry for not replying in days have gotten sick recently, and yes your character can be a royal)
(Hope you feel better soon :) )
( Thank you very much ^.^ )
( Thank you very much, all of you have amazing and unique characters )
(raises hand Can Lucille be a royal? ._.)
Jamie's eyes widened. "So you do have it! I got it from the visiting dutchess. I didn't know the guy who wanted me to steal it, so I assume he wasn't from here, and he just described the necklace, I don't know what it's depicting. I don't even know why anyone would wear it."
( Yes, sorry XD)
(Thanks, and that’s alright. XD)
She sighed, reaching into a pocket in the folds of her habit. Looking down on the necklace, Wren spoke, "There was a story my mother told me when I was a child, and that was a good 30 years ago…
"Long ago, before the kingdoms formed small clans and tribes warred against each other. Chaos reined and there was no order in the world. From this imbalance, Klaeko the Consumer arose. A man broken by loss who wanted the fighting to stop. But from his twisted view, that meant everything must end. Performing Forbidden Magiks, he transformed himself into a beast far worse than anything in this world. Many fell before 5 clans rose determined to stop him. They used Magik to weaken him and banished him to a prison in the darkest depths of the stars and afterwards Magik was banned so nothing like that would happen again."
She looked up at Jamie.
"Throughout history, there have been cultists (mostly warlocks), Children of Klaeko they call themselves, who have wanted to revive him in hopes of ending this world. It was thought for the longest time that this cult had died out and all evidence of them had been destroyed."
"Clearly history has this wrong."
She held up the necklace. "This necklace, is what one of three leaders would wear."
(Whew, that was long.)
(Wait what’s the plot? Is that the plot?)
Jamie stared at Wren, trying to understand. "So…. the dutchess is one of the leaders?" He asked, confusion laced in his expression. "Why would the man want it then?"
Wren shrugged, "Either one of them is a cultist and the other happens to be into antiques, or both are cultists and the man who hired you wants the necklace so that he would be in charge."
//@ScarletAndHerSides wants to know what u call a duchess’s daughter
"But there's more. Initially, I had wanted to talk to you because there are claims in the kingdom of Aekor that you are leading heists and robberies, stealing items of Magik."
(AND NOW IT STRUCK ME, WHAT DO YOU CALL A COUNTESS’S DAUGHTER? I CAN’T RANK. AHhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhh.)
(i have no clue)
"Aekor? The last time I was there was three years ago. I only steal from people here, and only people that t won't affect. I don't steal Magik items." Jamie said, defending himself. He suddenly stopped, grabbed Wren, and started to run. He only stopped when they were out of the forest. "There's someone following me," he whispered.
"Who?" she said. "How do you know?"
(okay hi. First of all, I'm bored. Second of all, I would love to join this rp. I love Kingdom things like this and this is an interesting one.)
"Why should I know?" Jamie snapped, still speaking in a whisper. "They were following me when I was on the other side of the mountain, in this village called "Ferrenway." I thought I lost them after I cam back here, but I guess they're still stalking me."
"What did they look like?" She said, walking along side him.
(so may I join or…?)
(I don't have the authority, you'd have to ask @VenusBlake)
