stewart

my very first veil!!

Stewart sighed, lifting from his desk and walking towards Ankarv. His mate had recently returned from a long nights work out in the fields, giving discipline to the unfortunate night guards who had “accidentally” let a valuable prisoner escape from the dungeons. “Those guards need to acknowledge the importance of keeping up with the prisoners and making sure that they STAY in prison” Ankarv complained to herself grunting and hissing words under her breath. Stewart wrapped one of his wings around her, nudging her snout with his. “Its their fault you know” he said, their tails intertwined. “They should listen to you some time” he knew this would probably in courage her to proceed hissing, but instead she looked up at him, nodding and slipped away as their daughter boba skipped into the room. “I heard hissing and had to see what was going on” She glared expectingly at her father, tapping her claws on the smooth, palace stone. “You never come into my room without a proper reason. What’s wrong?” He gave her an impatient look, as she immediately straightened her stance, pushing back her shoulders and narrowing her brows. “It’s a urgent message from the queen of a neighboring clan” she said in an unbelievably deep tone “it’s that assassin.. he’s killed their king.”

“Someone get me that seer!!!” Stewart swept into the throne room, while rushing dragons ran from corner to corner of the palace shrieking and worrying about the assassin. “I’m sure he won’t try to kill you.... right?” Boba followed close behind him, constantly reminding him that their kingdom was one of the most fortified kingdoms in the world. He knew that. But he still doubted his and his families safety the longer he walked, stressing through the palace. “I said, SEER!!” a small, innocent looking young veilspun kneeled before him, staring up at his king with undeniably intelligent eyes. “You.” Stewart glanced at the Dragon. “You’re the seer I’ve heard of aren’t you?” The dragon nodded twisting his tail around his front talons. “I’m called Afterseer, You requested my presence. Yes?” Stewart nodded. “Tell me seer, am I or my family killed by this intruder?”

Afterseer pressed his temples, focusing on the drip of the stalactites above. “I’m- not sure... the future is.. unclear” Stewart shot Afterseer a disapproving glare. “What is the point of a seer, if they can’t see the future?” Afterseer winced, wrapping his beetle like wings protectively around his scales. “Wait! Wait.. hold on wait.” The lead warrior stepped in the room, holding his neck in his talons as if he’d been running all his life. “ the assassin, he’s been sighted!” The crowd of shrieking dragons hushed, so that the only noises that could be heard was the uncomfortable shifting of talons and the heavy breathing of the general. “And captured.” It was horrible, he killed three of our greatest warriors. He’s in the dark dungeons, being punished as we...*inhale*
Speak.” Everyone gasped, lowering their heads respectively as king steward swept towards the lead warrior. “ I’m great full that we are the ones who caught the assassin.” He looked over his shoulders and smiled at boba. “ I’ll never doubt the superiority of our kingdom again.”
