Prophecies of the Heirs to the Throne
King William watched as the basket holding him, his new virgin bride Kate on their wedding day, his magician Noben an older, skinny, long and wild haired individual with an equally long and wild beard. His military commander Takbak who long advice his father much like Noben, though not as old but more stocky in his stature, piled on with muscles from long training and fighting with weapons, the family historian Lagous, not that old but still older then the young wedded couple at the end of their teens, but not that much older, his face was younger looking then the rest of him with a youthful lean body ready to do anything, and four guards rounded out the party.
They were all in plain white togas as ordained by all who ascended the the spire mountain and nothing else, having changed by their horses before getting in the basket. It was a plain rugged outcrop of mountain that was a circle weathered by storm gods over centuries but still soared way into the sky. The only way up was a basket, old, rickety, unstable, and basically shoty feeling and looking, as if it had no chance of making it a short distance up the mountain, let alone to the top. The young king looked over the vast plains as they ascended, it was many hours of fast riding to get here to the Oracles Spire before it would be dark, once they got to the top of the spire it might be.
His mind recalled the days events, the wedding itself, saying 'I do', to his long time friend and soon to be lover. Friends since they were kids, playing in the courtyard of the king and queen, his parents, they grew up knowing each other, she the daughter of well known nobles, the lady a personal friend of his mother the queen. The only reason it took them so long to get married, as an older teen marriage of an ascending monarch of high standing it rare, is because Prince William wanted to marry his long time best friend who he continually courted for years. His father the King trying to set him up with royalty of many near by kingdoms, to strengthen the family and the kingdom. The Prince did nobly court or date all the very beautiful and fine ladies of famous families that his father had him go meet. However, the answer was always the same, 'no' plain and simple. Luckily his father didn't force him, but the sudden death of his father did force a rather quick wedding to his long time best friend and only lady he was interested in spending the rest of his life with.
His arm pulled her closer to him once again, giving her another kiss on her perfect lips he knew so well. Courting for so long between his fathers pushing other women on him from other kingdoms, they had long been kissing, though had known nothing else of each other. They were waiting to see the Oracles of the Spire, a long tradition of nobles and common folks who had saved enough money to ascend the spire and have their futures helped here. The couple did it on their wedding day, as the Kings bride was still a virgin, though not for long, but bringing his wife still a virgin to the Oracles would bring better luck to the family, and as the head of the crown and country, it would help with that as well. However, the gods were somewhat more willing to make that luck be quite a bit different way to get their for this young new wedded couple. The gods were even quarreling with themselves as the party climbed the outside of the spire on the rickety old basket, moving into clouds as they kept going up.
In the realm of the gods they argued the fates of the young nobles on their wedded day. The gods all looked into the magical pool of viewing to see the young couple as they ascended the spire, his hand around her waist holding her against him. "Why must he endure this?", bolted out the mouth of Hephaestus, the god of fire protesting the collective will of the others.
"The prophecies will read that going through these trials will bring about a better and long lasting piece to the kingdom, as well as increase the wealth, power, prestige and land area of the kingdom for enduring it", retaliated his most beautiful and smiling wife Aphrodite, god of love and beauty. Both of these gods had the most to say about the couple because William was a follower of Hephaestus, learning the fine art of a smith from his mothers father, who was a very devout follower of the god as well, as were most of the best smiths of this realm. Kate was a follower of Aphrodite, like her mother, and her mother before her. Kate had even gone through all the rituals of a priestess of Aphrodite, in the event her husband had found another to marry, though happily for both of them he did not.
But while these gods had the most to say, they were not the only ones who had a voice, and while Aphrodite on her own can get her husband Hephaestus to bend to her will on her own if she wished, his voice was drowned out by a few other gods who pushed the fates in Aphrodite's favor. Most notably and outspoken of these was the god Ares, and the biggest thorn in the side of Hephaestus, the god who continually slept with his wife Aphrodite. "It is the fault of his father for first of all not building a temple to me, he was not a very devout follower to me, hence his early and sudden death!", Ares said loudly to the other gods, some who nodded in agreement. Finally Zeus spoke up, "let the prophecies go forth, but give them magic to help on their long journey to finish the prophecies you set forth for them, they are both devout followers of Aphrodite and Hephaestus and should be helped to stay that way and not fall out of favor", he finished watching Aphrodite's hands moving over Ares upper body lovingly while her husband was thinking and not looking at her.
