Natalie Yacobson "Amaranta-2. Captive of Elf’s King"

В«Seduce aВ mortal king.В»

В«This is such aВ boredom! He and aВ century will not last, as will be inВ aВ living skeleton inВ the crown.В»

В«ToВ the joy ofВ the king ofВ the deads?В»

В«He was waiting for me many centuries.В»

В«So go with him. He has an extensive kingdom, which is all expanding due toВ the people who have moved toВ the world.В»

В«And who will rule the fairy inВ my absence?В»

«There is someone!» It’s for sure. Other government replaced faster. Before it was a lot of them, all radiant and playful. And she came as night and shrouded in darkness everything.

«Think if I rule the kingdom of deads, then I’ll get what you wish.»

В«InВ termsВ of?В»

В«All people are mortal! Amaranta too. When she dies, she will get toВ the servants, because it will be forced toВ go down toВ the kingdom ofВ the deads, as it should be all.В»

В«So what?В» Dagda tried toВ pretend that he did not care. Did not work. The queen ofВ fairies knew perfectly who and toВ whom he was disseminated. For it she has an excellent sense. And the keys ofВ the strange form, which were at her belt, allegedly unlocked the doors, followed byВ the stolen souls ofВ all the magical beings that she did not please. The keys are ringing tightly, knocking on each other when she walked or flew above the floor. What if one ofВ these keys she prohibits for him after thers wedding, as if they askedВ him.

Why did everyone consider their wedding inevitable fact? Because the black servants ofВ Medea Shai trottered it toВ everyone. They knew how toВ introduce black couples inВ consciousness, changing the worldview not only people, but also ofВ magical creatures. Thus, no one has denied the news ofВ the wedding. InВ addition toВ Dagda himself, he did not believe well. It was believed that he was excessivly modest, while bidding about the degree ofВ power and dowry.

В«The people die like flies,В» Medea Shai sighed theatrically. The keys with heads inВ the shape ofВ the sun, month, elephant, the castle, the mountains and the dragons were wrung byВ copying her facial expressions. And they are all ofВ the metal, but they look like alive. One key with the head inВ the form ofВ an iron rose was exactly from the dungeon, where Medea Shai locked part ofВ herself, embodied inВ aВ black living plant. Will her collection be happy once the key with his head inВ the form ofВ wings from the dungeon, where does she ban the king ofВ the elves? She plans it. Dagda could sometimes read her thoughts as one big black manuscript inВ which solid horrors are recorded.

В«You will need an immortal companion.В»

В«Or the content? Your debts inВ front ofВ the kings with whom you were friends, fed, like your magic abilities.В»

В«True, so all my lenders have long been sleeping inВ the form ofВ crowned skeletons inВ the fortresses overgrown with spikes and bloodsowing plants.В»

В«Many people will envy your ability toВ repay loans.В»

В«IВ put the eyes on the king ofВ Ilior.В»

В«So go toВ him. Or fly. The window is open for you. The door will open the servants, barely ask.В»

В«You are not happy at all? Do not missВ me?В»

В«We saw each other recently.В»

«You’re the first cavalier, who is tired of me.»

В«Perhaps not the last.В»

В«Do not be rude!В»

В«Sorry, but you are extremely intrusive,В» quite like aВ darkness, which is lipped toВ everything and takes the monstrous outlines for her back.

В«Do not forget that IВ am aВ lady. The code ofВ knights and elves do not allow cautiousness with the lady, even if the monstrous.В»

An annoying one! And then he would immediately put her out. Maybe you should change the code? But it will affect and gentle ladies, such as Amaranta. There is a society once in relation to someone, and the elves will take care of all in a row. The love of his subjects to pranks is strong. Sometimes he barely restrains them. Although it is worth it to restrain? Is it not better to declare agaist Medei Shai war than regularly playing her cavalier and tolerate rumors about the wedding and that he himself the king of elves in the end will be under her heel, because she is an incomparable beauty, and he’s only a man. It can break and depict indifference how much will fit. And all the magic society is already confident that he will dry by the queen of fairies.

«You think about her!» Medea Shai sniffed to the air as if the thought of the interlocutor could have improving the fragrance of treason. «About the man’s wife! Do you think she is better than me?»

It is urgent toВ come up with an excuse, but Dagda is tired ofВ playing these games. Pulled toВ tell the truth. Instead, he flashed the first thing that came toВ mind.

В«She is less demanding than you. It is easier toВ make her happy. Do not have toВ keep the army ofВ monsters with her so that she felt like aВ queen.В»

В«And she is very similar toВ angels and cloud fairies. You always fell weakness toВ them. It is aВ pity that earth girls are very prolific. You can have many monsters from her. Even if she lives only one human life, the black army ofВ her bastards arise near the seven hills, which will certainly want toВ beat off your power and rule themselves. Bastards ofВ people from elves are extremely ambitious.

В«Nothing! InВ addition toВ the seven hills, there are still green hills, and inside each ofВ them can be established on aВ separate kingdom for each ofВ the descendants.В»

|Yes, the palace inside every hill will fit, the royal retinue is enough for everyone, the squads from the elves too. But what if your sons from Amarants will be greedy?В»

В«And if this is her daughters?В»

В«Monstrous ladies with horns and hooves that will want toВ rape the pretty elves.В»

В«Remember, it did not reach violence when your monsters seduced my elves and lured toВ themselves. Take at least Thierry and his warriors. Roddy weapons, love from your creatures, he sought, and not the opposite.В»

– I agree, there are unattractive ladies, gifted by force to choose the most beautiful elves and mortal men. But I could not take me to the number of unattractive ladies.

В«But you also got born monster from the mortals that you kept inВ captivity. Do not remember?В»

«I don’t even know these children from other warriors in my army. But in your sunny country, the monsters will be too in the public eye. The last of them you personally killed so that he does not confuse other people with his appearance.»

В«He was not my son.В»

В«But was the best friend. Almost half: brother, comrades, lover.В»

В«Only not aВ lover. IВ prefer women.В»

В«And IВ prefer men. Unlike most ofВ the magic rulers who went into oblivion.

She is seductive. Black darkness, magic couples emanating from her – solid temptation. He circled his head, but his thoughts on Amaranta scattered him.

Dagda found the strength to throw off the hands of the queen of fairies from the shoulders. Her hands have already begun to let black roots in his coat. Of the graceful claws of Medea Shai such a nasty thing grew. And it still can not be called a monster? She could turn into the bloodthirsty black tree, which is staggering travelers with dry roots, or into a giant black flower, drinking blood – a lungwort. Because of the often transformations in the last nickname, the Lungwort got to her.

The prefix toВ her name was already hinting that the queen comes from the genus ofВ hellish creatures, once formed inВ black deserts ofВ the Kingdom with such aВ name. InВ the fortresses ofВ Shai, whole armies disappeared. The kingdom ofВ black deserts delayed human troops and caravans like aВ monster.

В«What do you want from me?В» Dagda asked directly.

В«Combining two great states: Dark and Light. For absolute strength, IВ need day and night. And elves, and fairies. And monsters, and excellent creatures. IВ want toВ become the queen ofВ the universe.В»

В«Then the king you no longer need.В»

В«But Amaranta will not get him.В»

It has already resembled aВ threat.

Dagda also wanted toВ answer something sharp, but Medea Shai seems toВ finally realized that he was not happy about her here. InВ the place where she stood, now was only aВ black smoke pillar.

Friends fromВ fire

Spark played with Amaranta inВ chess, burning the figures.

В«Well, enough,В» she said, noticing how after the rook and the queen was covered with something burnibg inВ his fingers. В«So you will burn all the figures. And this board is dear toВ me. It is aВ gift from Shah, who was with the Embassy Mission at the court ofВ Aluar.

В«He wanted toВ marry you?В»

В«Yes,В» she answered.

В«Like the king ofВ Aluar?В»

В«Right!В»

Amaranta frowned. Where does Spark know so much? Really the fiery elf flew over the sea toВ spy behindВ her.

В«So why did you refuse? Is there aВ queen worse than aВ provincial countess?В»

«You’re very arrogant!»

«It’s a compliment?»

She was embarrassed.

В«InВ my company toВ be brazen it means toВ be the main one. Therefore, IВ am aВ leader. Thank you for praising me, the most beautiful!В»

He wanted toВ kiss her hand, but Amaranta was already reassigned and so burned his breathing palm.

It was not too nice toВ be friends with aВ fiery elf. He could burn inВ any moment. InВ addition, Spark was not restrained with the tongue, and demanded without the end the details ofВ her personal life.

В«Why were you still not expelled from the castle?В«said Amaranta.

В«Can you drive away the fire from the hearth?В» her opponent smiled disarmingly.

В«Can! But without fire it will be difficult toВ survive inВ winter, cook food and light the evening room for guests.В»

«That’s it – I will be indispensable!«smiled Spark. «Therefore, I will assume that you are all, the official owners of the castle, in fact, my debtors. After all, without me, you will not be able to survive the cold, cook dinners and dinners, and to arrange the ball without my fire on the candlelight it is impossible at all. People are not fair, your weak vision will not allow you to dance in the dark. If I will not shine you, you boost each other.»

How inВ vain she revealed her mouth! IВ did not know that he was so closed toВ her words.

В«ByВ the way, you started speech on the cold.В» В«Spark somehow strains, and he flashed brighter. В«Unusual fit! The cold carries not winter, but the breath ofВ the ice beings, which you let go from the gorge where they were sharpened.В»

В«IВ did not let anyone. They themselves crawled toВ meet my carriage.В»

«That’s it! You drove on the bridge, for which no one has staped for centuries. It is in the fog and is not visible. It cost you to go on it, and thet felt you. You were for them as a white torch.»

«I didn’t know that there is another way to the county,» Amaranta was weakly justified. «That bridge seemed the only existing in the district. It was necessary to ask the road from someone, but when we arrived at the port, no one even wanted to communicate with us.

– This is because of the evil spirits, which fell on board. From one of your dresses, Morgen is still divided by the smell. So called the inhabitants of the sea kingdom. All navigaters and the inhabitants of the coast in front of them tremble. If the morgen knocked on your window at night, then you do not live – you are pulled to the bottom. Morgens love pretty young girls.

В«One my girlfriend disappeared from the ship.В»

В«Does Stream her know.В»

В«From where? Did he ever settle inВ the county recently, and before that he lived inВ the ponds ofВ Aluar?В»

В«He hears how she sings at the bottom. Morgens love when their captives sing, imitating sirens. But Uriella is not just aВ prisoner. She became the wife ofВ that morgen, who kidnappedВ her.

В«You fool my head!В»

В«Ask Stream. Or listen to, leaning toward the pond. Through the sources, everything is heard and visible.В»

В«Depending on who! IВ will not see anything except water.В»

В«InВ addition, Stream will try toВ drown you. He, like all the water spirit, loves beautiful girls.В»

«But how didn’t drowned Uriella?»

«Some at the bottom not drown – the true brides of water. Since the abducted beauty did not sink under water, it means that she can be married. Here with ice creatures is more dangerous. Their leader has already kidnapped the niece of King of Ilior and completely frozen her. And since it does not come out with the royal family, he will most likely freeze all the kingdom. But we will save you: I and my guard,» Spark winked. «Or it is better to call us a detachment by a volunteer to save an excellent lady. We surround you and warm up, even when everything comes here.»

В«What is it?В» Amaranta scolded from the board the slide ofВ the ash, remaining from the burned chess. В«Only not asking kisses. IВ do not want toВ stay with aВ burnt face.В»

В«And for this you will help me open one door!В» The elf took several chess figures from the board, obviously deciding that the game was won, and he has the right toВ keep himself something as aВ trophy.

В«What else is the door?В»

В«FollowВ me!В»

Spark fell out and flew forward as aВ torch, overclocking the darkness. From the curiosity Amaranta went afterВ him.

В«Where are we going?В»

Rather, he flew, she walked, but Spark was not embarrassed. He hurried toВ the garden, and inВ the most rushing corner.

В«InВ the crypt!В» He responded, flew toВ the thickets. He was stolen from the board the queen, it had toВ be thrown into the bushes, because the figure inВ his fingers is hopelessly burned. В«You need toВ unlock this door.В»

The door was heavy and cast-iron, increasing moss and bind. This is definitely not the door ofВ the surname crypt. It is located much toВ the left than the ever-locked entrance toВ the family tomb. Amaranta crashed from the door the stems ofВ the bindweed. Under them was visible aВ key well inВ the form ofВ some vensel.

Friends ofВ Spark turned out toВ be here as here. They are really aВ whole team! They walked around aВ fiery round dance. The air heated from their presence. The breathing became more difficult.

«Let’s play!» One elf tried to burn her. Other giggle.
