An amazing Adventure (silverknight and the creator)

Marvin blinked as he took a deep breath and woke up for a moment and then narrowed his eyes at the princess and her questions, "Yes, I did, I told his sorry ass to get off the ship as soon as he could, he wasn't wanted here," he said honestly as he wasn't apologetic about the issue in the least, he wasn't feeling bad about it. The man had harmed the girl who he had raised, and taken advantage of her in his opinion, she was still a girl and he should of known better. "It is a good thing he isn't here as well, he isn't wanted or needed. A man who tricks a girl into thinking you love her so you can get her into bed, is scum in my opinion," he said coldly as he looked at the woman, "I do need some sleep, princess, so good night," he commented firmly as he looked at the young woman.

Aeris couldn't sleep, she went out and got the egg and made a small nest for it, she had nothing better to do, and she couldn't sleep, so she might as well make a natural bed for it. She wasn't sure what to do to hatch a egg, so she hoped it would work. She just had to hope she didn't mess it up somehow, while it was int he process of being born or hatched or whatever. She made sure it was in a safe spot before she tried again to go back to sleep. It was a long and very hard day for her, one that had messed up all her plans for the future and ended her first relationship with a male in flames. She would be very careful from that point on in any relationship that she happened to get in.
 
"One last comment from me. The truth is like beauty. It is seen in the eyes of the beholder and not always seen clearly. Remember that there is more than two sides of a coin. I bid you good bye, sir." Mystique spoke coldly to Marvin. In fact the cold surrounded the room as she glared at Marvin. Soon thick frost had covered the walls and icicles were hanging from various places.

When she was satisfied, she turned and left, closing the door quietly.

Mystique walked out on the deck to see Aeris making a nest for an egg. She really didn't want to speak to her yet but perhaps she should. She quietly walked up to Aeris. She spoke softly
"Aeris, I suggest that you talk to Bessie. She is very good with animals. She will guide you perhaps. May I talk to you for just a few minutes?"
 
Aeris looked over at Mystique and then blinked as she looked at her, "Yes, what can I do for you," she asked looking at Mystique for a moment as she then paused for a moment and then paused before she took a deep breath and tilted her head to the side for a moment or two. "I thought she was afraid of animals and didn't like them, remember when we saved your puppy, she hated that little thing, and didn't like it. She also hated the horse too, remember and wanted nothing to do with one, if memory serves me right," Aeris replied, "no, I will figure it out, I want to take this responsibility on myself, it is a way to focus on something else to do," she said as she sat down on her bed, "I will read over the books, that Xavier has, I am sure he has one for this situation, now what do you want to talk to me about?"
 
"First Bessie's, Sean's and my powers have been suppressed for many years and replaced with fears.
I would like an honest answer from you. Did Sean rape you, or lead you on in some way? Did he make false promises to you? Also more importantly, is there a baby growing within you?
Of course you do not have to answer if you do not want to. I only want to know the truth so that I can deliver appropriate discipline. I will not say anything to anyone if you do not want me to except for Sean and Bessie if that is what you want me to do. I will seal their mouths so that they cannot speak of the incident." Mystique spoke as evenly as she could. There was much hurt laying just under the surface.
 
She looked at Mystique and blinked for a moment as she looked at the woman who stood there for a moment or two and said nothing for a good moment. She blinked again as she took a deep breath and shook her head, "he didn't rape me, no he didn't do that, that was not what happened. He did led me on, he made me believe that he loved me and loved me completely, not just some lust he had for my body. He said that he didn't know he felt about me, but he loved my body. That made me feel objectified and used and dirty," she said honestly as she looked down, "what he said was nothing buy cheap words when it came to figure out what it mean and how much truth there was behind it. I will never forgive him for that, it will always bother me deeply," she said honestly as she looked down for a moment.
 
Mystique simply nodded as she listened to Aeris. Once Aeris was finished speaking, Mystique spoke once more.

"Thank you for telling me about your argument. I just needed the details so that I know what to do next. I am sorry that Sean spoke to you like that and I shall help you in any way that I can. "

Mystique went looking for Xavier and when she found him, she spoke calmly

"Xavier, May I have a word with you, please?"
 
Xavier is sitting on the deck of the ship as he looks up at Mystique and then slowly gets back to his feet as he then looked at her and then gave her a nod and a smile. "Well princess, how can I be of help to you," he asked calmly as he looked at her, wondering what was on the mind of the princess. He figured if there was something he could help her with , then he could aid her in the situation that she was facing at that moment.
 
"I have a few questions for you regarding Sean. Did you happen to see him before he left? Were you able to talk to him and if so what did the two of you speak about? Also did you see or ask where he was going? I need to know these answers so I know how to handle the situation." Mystique spoke wearily.

Sean followed the sorcerer's footsteps exactly which made the sorcerer quite satisfied. Once he entered the castle, the sorcerer turn and spoke
"I am Zaddicus Zollinger. I am a grey mage and you, Sean, are now my student. You will learn more in the next few months than any other time in your life. A dark force has been formed and will soon be attempting to conquer the world. He will need to be stopped. You will have to be the one who does the conquering. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Follow me to your quarters." Zaddicus spoke firmly.

"Yes, sir." Sean spoke. He was so broken that he longer cared and would follow instructions to the 'T'.

Zaddicus knew that Sean was in the right state of mind. He would rebuild him up once more and he would be more strong and decisive. He turned and led Sean to a small room that had a cot, a chair, a small desk, a small dresser and a trunk.

"Get your room in order. Your linens are in that trunk at the end of your bed. Dinner will be at 6. I'll send a servant to guide you to where the dining room is." Zaddicus spoke firmly.
 
"Yes, I saw him before he left, we talked," Xavier commented calmly as he looked out at the sea, "he seemed trouble, we talked about the situation that he was facing and the problems that were facing him at that moment. I suggested that he leave, and find the life that he wanted in the city's onshore. He didn't want to be here, and his soul was down because of the events of the day. The only way that he could find the dream he was looking for was to head to the shore and start the life that he wanted. He was only here out of a sense of duty that he felt, and one that he didn't feel up to. He didn't want to travel, and wanted to just build a home somewhere quiet and disappear, I hope that the young man can do this and find his quiet place to disappear, he asked me to keep an eye on you and Bessie before he left, and I said I would do so."
 
Mystique listened to Xavier before she spoke
"Did you say anything negative to him? Such as he had better leave or else kind of thing? I need to know the plain truth, Xavier. I have to prepare a statement regarding his absence. Where did he head?" Mystique spoke calmly.
 
Xavier looked at Mystique as he looked at her for a moment pausing for a second. "Well, I do no know how he would take any words I would have him. I told asked him how he saw things and we went over what would be the best move for him. He went off in the boat towards a lighthouse a bit ago, it would seem he wanted to make a new life for himself there, I gave him some money for his expenses," he said with a shrug of his head as he looked at the princess. "Now, I have a couple of questions for you. You are extremely interested in this man, considering his at most a page, what is your real relationship with Sean? Do you have feelings for Sean which you have not made clear to him before he left, and you regret not sharing your true feelings. From what I have heard, you have been saved by him and grew up with him. It is rather common for a woman to grow fond of a man in these situations, and given he is a lower class then you, it would make sense that you just kept this attraction and interest in him to yourself. That now it is showing with him having had left the boat and your life so he is now away from you. Secondly who do you need to prepare a statement for, your a queen on a boat in the middle of nowhere, you have no one to report too. Lastly, why are you so worried about people being negative towards him, it would seem you are trying to find flaws and errors with your fellow crew members, do you dislike the prince and are looking for a way out of the relationship, or the agreement in general and are looking for a way out of it. It would be understandable if you happened to be, and are doing this to upset those who are not in your service."
 
“Excellent questions and ones that I will answer. Of the three of you, I should have expected you to be the one who would have questions about my questions.

Yes, I am very much interested in Sean and what happens to him. Number one is that he was my playmate and lifelong friend from the time I was born. Bessie is three years older than I. Sean is just six months older than I. Their mother lost her husband when Sean was born. The father was killed in a hunting accident. The mother was taken in as a wet nurse.
Another thing that most people do not know is that the three of us are magically bonded together. What happens to one of us, the other two feel. My father the king had a wizard who set the bond and it is self-sufficient.
I do not have to make a report to anyone. I want to make sure that I have the truth for it will affect not only me but Sean and Bessie. I have the responsibility to make sure that Bessie understands what has happened and why. What may happen to her and I would be part of the report. I must keep an open mind and keep order among the few people that are part of my kingdom. I must show that I am their Queen and ruler, the one who will listen to them, the one who takes the responsibility of their actions seriously. I am the one who is responsible for what they do or don’t do.
Rest assured that I do not love Sean as a lover would but as a brother. The same goes for Bessie. I love them both as siblings and will fight to protect their rights. I also will scold and correct them as if I was the elder sibling. Should one of us dies, a part of the other two will also die. I do not know how it would affect me if that part happens to die. I am not willing to chance that my life will be changed in a negative way. I now have a wonderful man and I shall marry him. So I repeat. I am not willing to chance that my life will be changed in a negative way.
Your last question is kinda answered already….. I told you that the three of us are magically bonded and that meant what happens to one has happened to the other two but in a lesser way. I am not trying to find flaws in anyone but the pure truth of what actually was said and done so that I can prepare a statement about what can be done and not done as well as the question why.
I hope that I have given you the answers that satisfies your line of questioning. I am not willing to chance that my life will be changed in a negative way. If there are no other questions, I shall go to my room for a while.” Mystique spoke quietly and in a firm voice.
 
"No, I don't have any more questions at all for you," Xavier replied calmly as he looked at Mystique, "Just ask, that you use tact when you are dealing with the others, none of them know anything about magic or the ways of magic, so to them, the idea of magical connections and such would be rather strange, plus, Xavier is a overprotective father figure to a girl who needs more comfort then questions at the moment, but I am sure you know this well, princess," he said as he nodded his head, "Now, I am sure that your friend will find his way, he just needs to be on his own for the moment as his destiny I think is somewhere else, not sure why, but a hunch, you should also get some sleep if you can, it would be bad if the bride falls asleep during her own wedding don't you agree?"
 
"That would be bad. i doubt that I shall get much sleep however." Mystique felt a twinge of pain as she spoke these words. "I shall try to sleep........"

In the meantime, Sean was being put through his paces. Zaddicus was very thorough with his teachings and since he could no longer see well enough, he did not see the bond strings. He worked Sean harder than anyone else ever did................
 
He worried about Mystique and he knew that things were going to be hard for both herself and her soon to be husband as he would have a hard time to support her. He wasn't sure how he would be able to deal with a woman who was emotionally closer to another man then him. He figured that the prince as a good man, and if anyone could figure a way to deal with the issues that were at hand with the relationship that it would be him. He laid back down on the wood of the floor and quickly drifted off to sleep contempt with the fact that things were going to happen and there was nothing that he could do to control the tide of destiny as he saw it. He was used to sleeping on hard spots, it came with the territory of traveling as much as he had, he had been on many ships so to sleep on one was nearly second nature.
 
Mystique went to her room and jotted down the notes in a fresh journal. She use her own coded language for she did not use the one at the bed. There was a lot of details to write down. She wanted to get their own attitudes and verbal sentences. She normally enjoyed writing in her journals but this one journal would not be so easily written. But with a bit of time and patience, Mystique had finished her journal. She had written her gut feelings at the end of what the three others.

((Sorry I fell asleep with my grandson.....))
 
The atmosphere on the ship as a whole was very much down the following morning as the events of the night before had a large impact upon each of the people on the ship. Each of them knew it, and each of them had their own issues that had been revealed to them over the course of the night. For Aeris, the simple hurt of betrayal from the person she was going to marry the day after. As well as the view in her own mind now that men only cared about how a woman looked and that she would never ever get into a relationship again because how the first experience had gone and how easy she was to trick by such sweet words as she was. She didn't want to get out of bed, she worked to help the egg, taking care of it as she kept herself apart from the others.

There was Marvin who was still upset that he allowed his daughter to be hurt as she was, and not able to see though the scam that was Sean. He knew he should of seen him out as a man unworthy of Aeris right away when he saw him but she hadn't done so, and that fact rather bothered him to no end. He knew his adopted daughter was growing up but she was not yet an adult and let her nativity get the better of her, he should of seen that and done something about it.

Then there was the prince who was worried not so much about Aeris or Sean, though he was worried about both. He had faith that they would be okay, and that they would find their way or he hoped they would. He was worried more about Mystique then he was worried about either of them. When troubled broke up, she went away from him, not looking for him for help but moving away from any help or advice he might be able to give. He felt a great distance between himself and Mystique at that moment as she isolated herself from him and kept away from him for some reason.

Then there was Xavier, who knew the others the least, he worried about the future, he could see a chance for any alliance between the two groups of ending completely. He knew what would happen if that happened, and it wouldn't be pretty. He tried to think of a way to bridge the gap. Yet, at the moment there was nothing he could do to help anyone it would seem. It seemed the two groups were growing farther and father apart. Perhaps the events with Sean would provide a catalyst for Mystique's uncle to take over everything defeating a divided group easily, and then adding their nations before moving on to take the rest of the world bit by bit.

(It is fine, hope you enjoyed your rest ^_^)
 
((Thanks!))

Mystique locked her newest journal in her lap desk then changed clothes and went to bed. She knew one thing for sure an it was that Rumors would fly and it was always best to get the rumors out and into the open. She did not want to be part of the rumors but she also knew that she would be part of the top rumor.She did not want to talk to Bessie for in her innocence would come simple truth. It would be best if she diid not say anything at this time to Bessie. The others will tell her all that she needed to know and much more. Mystique also knew that if she did not have enough sleep, she just might say something wrong which could be deadly at this time.
As Mystique put away her writing utensils, she began to think of what she needed to do. She needed to stay calm, keep her temper, be understanding where it counted and be there to show support to those who deserve it. She needed to talk to Edward before she talked to anyone else. Mystique pulled out a scented sheet of paper and wrote a note to Edward

'My Dearest Edward,
By now you will know that I spoke to Aeris, Marvin and to Xavier. I have their versions of what happened. I hope that perhaps you were able to talk to then as well. I feel like I need to talk to you before saying anything to anyone. I am very tired not just physically but emotionally as well. I am sicken to my heart over this mess. I am not sure how to proceed and want your advice. Please let me sleep until I awake.
Love now and forever,
Mystique.'

Mystique put the letter in an envelope, sealed it and then went to bed in spite of the air being so thick with hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

By the time that Bessie was up and dressed, she was very confused. She could not find Sean and Mystique was still in bed. She went hunting for someone to tell her what was going on.
 
Xavier smiled as he noticed that Bessie was walking up to him and then he smiled as he looked at her and then knew what was on her mind at that moment. "Well good morning, Miss Bessie, I am guessing your looking for your brother correct," he asked her as he knew that would be what she was looking for and that was what was in her eyes as well. "Your brother went off on a trip by himself, a kind of mission that he had to. He said that he was sorry that he couldn't say good bye to you, but he had to leave in a bit of a hurry cause we passed the place that he had to go to along the way. I promised your brother, that I would tell you, and that I would keep an eye out for you, which is just what I plan to do," he said honestly to her as he hoped to help her.

Edward looked for the princess and found the letter, and let out a sigh, as he read it, he knew she meant well, but he felt he needed to talk to her sooner rather then later, on her opinion on things. He put the letter back and then took his leave as he rested on the deck, and had talked to Xavier before he went to talk to Bessie. He knew the situation pretty well now, and would hold his judgement on the young man till he heard about it from Mystique directly and talk to her about other things as well. There was much that was on the young man's mind as he sat there watching the shore go by slowly.
 
Bessie listened to Xavier then shook her head.
"No Sean would at least leave a note of some sort. He might not be very verbal or say things like he should, but he would have left me a note at the very least." Bessie turned around and left Xavier with tears flowing down her face. She hurried away to see if she could find someone who would tell her what was really going on.

Mystique was soon up and was sitting at her vanity table. She was dressed in a plain long grey dress. She had brushed her hair out and was braiding it so that she could wind it around her head. She wanted to look not only regal but sophisticated. The one thing that she was not. She wanted Edward to come inside and talk to her but she did not want to go out of the room for she was afraid that she would get mixed up.

Sean was still up and working on his studies really hard. Once in a while, Zaddicus would make him stop for a few minutes to drink some sort of a potion. He needed to clean the whole castle, make his lab, dust all of the books in the library, and many more housekeeping details. After he had these chores done, he had to start on some other new things........
 
Xavier blinked, this girl was odd, she didn't even listen to him, as if Sean was idol of hers, when he knew she disliked him earlier from his conversation he had with Edward earlier, he remembered Edward hearing that from Mystique that the two were not so close anymore, and that the events of the past caused them to drift apart. It seemed that was a mistake, she cried and was so fast to judge him for trying to cheer her up. He shrugged his shoulders as he figured this wasn't going to end well. Two hyper sensitive women and each ignoring him. No way to help a woman who didn't want to help herself, or become independent. He went to talk with Edward and Marvin, as they talked over the issues about what had happened, but more the response which was far greater then the first event.

Edward looked to talk to Mystique, as the conversation ended, he went in and sat down across from her as he laused for a moment as he looked at her. "Well hello, it is good to see you here and up and about, glad you got some sleep," he said calmly as he looked at her. "Let me be frank, why are you and Bessie changing so much so quickly, something seems really fishy going on here. Both Marvin and Xavier want me to pull out and leave you to whatever happens and head home. Aeris hasn't left her room yet, so I do not know what she is thinking at the moment. I am sure she most likely would be in favor of going home. I am not going to make a move quickly, as I do not understand what is going on, and am going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this situation."
 
"Thank you for giving me the benefit of doubt, Edward. I haven't changed but I am very confused at the moment. Why would Sean leave so suddenly? He is normally so slow to change his mind. I only wish that I had heard the entire conversation from both sides." Mystique reached out and touched Edward gently.
"I only think that the curse was not completely lifted from us three. uncle put a curse on us three where we would misunderstand each other as well as others around us. We would hear things wrong, see things in the wrong way, say things wrong, and think things wrong. We would become unsecure and unsure of ourselves. I thought that curse was gone but I guess it still has a hold on us.
Now for the real test..... Do you understand what I have said?" she asked softly as she sat next to Edward.
 
"Yes, I do understand you completely, he had his reasons for leaving, what they were are gone with him being gone, you can ask him if you find him again, or if he makes them known to you. If you focus only on this one thing, you will not be able to move forward in life as you want. I am sure that there is a reason, and I am sure that it will be revealed in time, till then I will do my best to look out after those around myself and make sure they are taken care of. Don't forget about those around you when you are worried about one person. As queen someday, you will have lots of people to worry about, focusing on one person while the kingdom has greater issues will not be helpful in the least. Xavier said that the place he went to had a lighthouse, if your really worried why don't you take Bessie and go and find him with one of the boats. It won't be to far away, and then you can clear things up with him and talk things over, we can then meet you in the city we are going to later and meet up again."
 
"1 will leave
1 will believe
1 will grieve

1 will become enlighten
1 will become stricken
1 will become smitten

1 will be royal
1 will be loyal
1 will be trial

These three are one
One are the three
In the past
But not in the future.

That is the rhyme that cast over us. I think it is time to separate us and each of us find our own paths. I have chosen my path and it is the path that you walk on, My Love. I am letting Sean go where he wants to and Bessie will do as Bessie will do. She needs to find her own way in this world and you are right, I have to worry about more than a few people for one day, I shall be a Queen.

I will need a lot of work to become a Queen but with a bit of patience, I shall become a great Queen. Please forgive me for asking everyone a lot of questions. I am sorely hurt for I lost my childhood friend. It will take some time to heal but heal it will." Mystique spoke calmly yet very sadden.
"I just wish that people did not curse other people for there is too much hurt in the world as it is."
 
"First, it is natural to worry," he said slipping his arm around her, "just come to me sooner next time, I am here to comfort and help you, I could of made it a whole lot easier for you to question my people where your meaning would of been better known," he said softly as he looked at her. "Now, I am sure you will see him again, Sean is a odd kid, but he is one that will find his way. I am sure when he does, he will want to come and find you and let you know he is okay, or at least will send you something to tell you that he is okay. Now, I think it is a good day to stay inside and relax together, there is plenty we missed out on doing, before, so it is time to change this streak of bad luck we have been having I think," he said with a smile as he caressed her cheek softly. "Bessie and Aeris will recover in time and move on, we got to have faith in those we do care about."
