《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 57: The King's Quest
Advertisement
"I suppose that covers my entire report," Caliber says as he ponders for any information he has not spoken up about.
"Great! Then it is my turn." King Suko would say as he starts to walk over to pull his chair from the table and pushes it against the wall.
"Your turn, your majesty?" Both Caliber and the nobles looked over to him and asked.
"Yes, I have some news to discuss." He would say, taking a seat and sitting upon it as if it was his throne. Yasuline's mother would imitate his actions to sit next to her. When Yasuline starts to do the same, her father would extend his hand out to halt her.
"Princess Yasuline, would you stand before me?" He would say in his serious tone. It sent chills down her spine. Now that they were looking at one another as she approached him, she could see that his eyes were a bit narrow than before. His joyful demeanor was gone and he looked like a true king, one with wisdom and confidence behind his eyes.
Both Caliber and the nobles have stood from their seats and stood on the other end of the wall. Even quietly moving the table out of the wall to make as much space for them all as possible.
Yasuline nervously stood in between her parents. She lightly grips the ends of her white dress. Her father continued with that kingly tone and appearance, despite this. "Princess Yasuline." He says.
"Umm, yes, dad, oh I mean, your majesty." She says, unsure really how to refer to him like this. She had never had to face him in this way, but she usually sees everyone show him great respect when he does it to them.
"You have done this kingdom a great service. Not only have you saved the ruler from certain death, But you fought against the dreaded White Reaper and lived to tell the tale to us all."

"Well, not really, but thank you."
He nods and continues. "That is why I must rely on your skills yet again. With someone as capable as you in it, I will be able to breathe easier in the night."
"Oh, what do you want me to do?" She asks.
"I need you to go on a quest for me."
Her eyes widen. "What did you say?" She wasn't the only one. Nearly everyone but the King and Queen were completely shocked.
"Did I mumble? I said I need you to go on a quest for me." He repeats.
"B-but, a quest, requires me to go out of the city no? Or are you just messing with me and it;'s something inside the castle only?"
"It is no joke. I need you to go out to Finnoe and deliver a message to Victor for me," He would explain to her.
"All the way to Finnoe!?" Caliber would blurt out. Clearly, he was not briefed on this decision. This shocks Yasuline even more, as most of the time, her parents would rely on him giving his opinions on what to do. And they always do it when discussing about what to do with Yasuline. Not this time, it seems.
"Yes, all the way there."
"But Finnoe is filled with shadowbeasts and demi-humans. It's the most dangerous land in all of Atlas."
"Not if she takes a boat from South Seatown. Besides, she won't be going alone."
With perfect timing, knocking on the door happened. Caliber hesitated as he looks back at the king and then at the door. One of the guards who were standing outside this entire time would open the door for them and in arrives two strange individuals.
One of them was quite a tall man, with glossy black hair that lightly poked in various directions, but looked to be combed to the back mostly. He had bright red eyes that invite anyone to look, and a devilish smile that just teases you for something naughty. Most of his attire was black and looked to be made of leather. But it looked more like for the style rather than armor. On his back was a wide sword that Yasuline recognizes as a claymore. The handle and guard of the weapon were bleached bone-white. Resembled way too much of real bones to be considered a coincidence.

The other person next to them was very young, looked to be a child no doubt. His big blue eyes told you he was innocent of anything you suspect him of. His hair looked to be extremely healthy and clean as it droops about the top of his head in the shape of a bowl, with the exception to a few long strands of hair that were made into a tiny ponytail. The rest of his body was hiding behind a cloak of solid blue. With the few stains of something near just under his chin. Behind him rattled a strange staff that Yasuline had never seen before in her life. And she had seen most magick-users from spellcasters, magicians, to sorcerers before.
The two stand next to Yasuline in front of the King and Queen and bow before them both. Only the tall dark one spoke up, the other just giggled childishly as he nibbles upon some candy he was holding in his small hands.
"King Suko and Queen Noria. A Pleasure to meet you both." He would say in a deep voice.
"Ah, it is good to finally meet you. I heard good things about you and your partner there."
"Ah, brother. Just want to clarify. I'm perfectly available for any woman that wishes to know me more." He would say and lightly waves his hand as if there were some woman standing near him that he was gesturing to.
"Right, well, then as we discussed before, I will be using the power of my crown to request to you a quest."
'He is going on a quest too? Is he an adventurer? I feel like I have seen him, but he wasn't at the eating place me and the White Reaper went to.'
"No problem, Adventure King. Anything you ask, I am happy to oblige. As long as you pay, we are good to go."
"Wait, what did he call you?" Yasuline asks immediately after he finishes talking.
"Oh, Adventure King? It is one of my nicknames for when I was adventuring. Most people know me by that name." He would explain it to her. His serious facade faded back to his cheerful one, but then it quickly returned as he gets back to the matter at hand.
Yasuline would stop paying attention to the conversation as she reflects such a revelation. 'Oh, that makes so much sense! No wonder I didn't know about the Adventure King. Wish he had told me that before, UGH, how embarrassing to not even know that. I better ask him more about things. Oh, wait. I'm leaving soon.'
"Yasuline?"
Hearing her name snaps her out of her thoughts and she straightens up her posture. "Yes!"
"You will be leaving immediately if possible, the sooner it can be done, the better. But you are also a novice, so don't rush." Her father informs her. Yasuline would nod with each word, taking in everything into heart.
"Now then, you should go to your room and prepare everything you need. We'll say our farewells soon." He would say with a nod. As he rose from his seat, the others bowed their head and the meeting was finally over.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.

Blood & Honey #1
~A Wattys and Fiction Award winner*A lion does not need an invitation from a lamb. That is not the way of the predator. Predators take what they want, when they want it, however they please. And this belief that I am, that evil is, enslaved by the dark night is humorous to say the least. Why would any creator make their pupil inept of withstanding the lighted world when this planet is covered in daylight for half of its life span? No, our Maker did not instill such restrictions for, up here on these earthly lands, we are the gods of prey. ~ Tristan There is only one rule vampires must follow--Bite Hard. It is forbidden for humans to know vampires exist so you can imagine Tristan Darkos's surprise when he finds one that knows what he is. He can tell by the tremble of her body, the thump-thump of her pulse, and her dilated pupils. He's going to have to finish what some other vampire started. The problem is when Tristan gets close to this human his blood turns to fire and the thirst that burns in his throat that should spell her doom twists until he's consumed by another need--one that is evocative, primitive, and...wrong.If Tristan doesn't figure out the mystery that is Kinley Shea Rylan, it is certain whatever dark force her honey blood is summoning forth will be the end of him and, possibly, the end of the world as we know it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Author note: - This is an original work with my take on Vampires.
