Chapter 5: ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? V????????????????????????????????????

 

 

????he dawn is early and full of wrath over our home today, the winds are howling with such rage it resembles the wroth of a queen, The snow acting as if her whip.

 

 

Cyrenaica would be awoken by the shrieks from the storm resonating in our ears deafening the sounds of the world, When winter was

seething it would regale the world of its overwhelming power.

 

 

Staring into that storm with admiration our queen was lost in her ambition to control winter's every motion.

 

 

Suddenly the door would creek to life behind us revealing a familiar doting face the wife of Emidius, Serena a kind hearted elderly lady her hair as white and soft as snow, her skin was aged, her eyes a beautiful shade of umber and a smile that was soft enough to ease the heart she was the life long companion of both Emidius and our queen.

"Love, The morning meal is ready please put something warmer on and come eat."

"Yes mother,  Next time just shout for me please I don't want you hurting your leg."

Serena would stare at her with gaiety "Don't worry about it I'll be sure to be more cautious In the shower when I'm supposed to be alone."

Cyrenaica would stare down with guilt "I tried chasing after it I did! "

"Oh love I know you didn't mean It, You're too sweet to hurt a fly the lady's life suits you well but you aren't a normal lady you must learn when to be strong and who you can be weak with. As for me, I could never stay angry at you."   Serena's voice would say flowing with compassion and wit as she walked away and towards the feasting room.

 

We would follow her into the hallway until we reached the feasting room, A large room there was a stone dining table able to seat ten with just as many chairs, The tables were made of stone collected from the mountain smelted and forged together into an ornate table their chairs were forged the very same however had cushions made from leopard skins.

 

 

There was Emidius, And his other children; Daemor a few years younger than his queen, Livia their oldest born she was with child. And Proditor a young soldier in the guard.

 

 

"Late again sister" Daemor would chuckle "I ate your elk I did warn you last time."

 

 

Our queen staring at him inraged at his treachery for elk was the best part of the meal and treason to her at least wouldn't go unpunished but not in front of the family she would bide her time, lurking in the shadows waiting to incite her righteous vengeance.

 

 

Then her contemplation was cut short by the voice of Livia, "Daemor that isn't funny she has to go to school too and it looks like you eat plenty enough already, Here have mine Cyrenaica."

 

 

"She isn't wrong Daemor, The winter is almost upon us and so is the rationing of our food you know that."

 

 

"Yeah! You IdIoT!" Cyrenaica's voice was full of gaiety as she walked to sit next to Daemor.

 

 

"Hurry along now children school isn't going to teach itself" Serena's voice would immediately silence their bickering

 

 

"Oh, And young man I'm not raising a little thief even if your motive was to have fun with your sister you should apologize. In the winter I would have had to send her to school hungry because of that, you should be ashamed." Serena would say hoping to edify her youngest son

 

 

Lowering his head he would storm out of the house vexed at the fact that everyone was treating him so horribly over a harmless joke and frankly a show of affection towards his sister "next time I won't even talk to her! I'll just ignore all of them I won't even mind it they're all so annoying!" Damon would think to himself

 

 

His thoughts would be thumped out of his head when he felt Cyrenaica's hand wallop the back of his head "That's for lunch little man, That elk looked good you can tell me how good it was if you can catch me"

 

 

"CYRENAICA" Daemor would shout as he ran towards her

 

 

Cyrenaica would chuckle as she the older sibling was far more agile than her younger brother, She laughing as she ran through the streets of our town weaving through the townsfolk and reindeer alike until finally, they reached the desolate snowy yard of the school.

 

 

Cyrenaica would collapse on the ground laughing "Haha Damor you almost caught me maybe next time."

 

 

However, she would be interrupted when Damor got on top of her only now could she see the tears streaming down his innocent and young face it red and panting from the chase.

 

 

"Whoa whoa, little guy I think you're a little too small for her taste why don't you go and play with the other children."

 

 

"I'll do what I want with my sister!" Damor would shout before looking up to see a colossal man no less than eight feet tall.

 

 

"Why are you so upset anyways?" he would ask

 

 

"She hit me and she acts like such a baby!"

 

 

"You're the baby Damor." Cyrenaica's voice would say in a commanding tone

"So you like hitting then." He would stay looking at Cyrenaica a smirk slowly growing on his face

 

 

Taken back by both the stupidity and the boldness of this man she turned to look at him and felt her heart drop off the edge of a cliff when they locked eyes.. "Lucius?!" She'd stare into his eyes fixated in a trance everything fading out of sight but his silky skin and his defined facial features were not few. The smirk on his face grew ever wider his handsome face gleaming in the sunlight revealing his charming smile "M'lady let me help you to your feet."

 

 

Abruptly pulling our dazed queen closer her face so flushed it was as if the color of her gorgeous red hair. Her heart beating profusely before she had trouble breathing this was the most attractive man in the entire world to her; Until finally her face collided with his strong torso his powerful arms as thick as the trunk of a sapling tightened her soft and silky body on his coarse skin "Whoops you tripped into my arms m'lady" he'd chuckle.

 

 

She'd place her hand on his chest and stare into his eyes with a feeling she wanted him to satiate, He could feel her hot breath the antipathy of the frigid air surrounding them he lost in her resplendent eyes incapable of thought save for the primal ones he pulling her closer his hand lowering down her back pushing her bosom against his chest.

 

 

"What are you doing?!" A gaggle of girls had observed the commotion "We're doing what all you losers wish I would let you do, and if you haven't noticed it takes a lot of attention." He'd smirk staring back at Cyrenaica

 

 

"You know he has a girlfriend right..?she'll beat you into a pulp get over here before she sees you!"

 

 

 "Adria might be of concern to them but you have me I am not letting anyone hurt you.. What's your name?" Lucius would ask

 

 

Looking down Cyrenaica would be snatched out of her fantasy more abruptly than it manifested she pushing him away "No you sick pervert I'm not going to be your next object get away from me if you come near me again I'll have my brother arrest you!" Cyrenaica's voice trembling In sorrow

 

"Fine be like that, I'm not a pervert I'm going to break up with her I just haven't told her yet." Lucius would say feeling hurt by Cyrenaica's rebuttal

 

"Are you alright sister just say the word and I'll hurt him for you." Daemor would say in a fit of sympathy for his beloved sister and rage towards Lucius.

 

"Shutup Daemor class is starting" Her voice was ever shaky.

 

The school was petitioned in two classes; Warriors and not warriors women whilst not explicitly forbidden were heavily biased against, to be accepted as a warrior they had to be as resilient as the winds of winter, as rough as the shards of ice against their mortal flesh, and as resilient the mountains who eclipse even winter itself... Of course, few mortals were indeed capable of meeting these criteria male or female however few cared save for Cyrenaica but she had abandoned that fight many years ago.

 

Watching as the men dueled, Particularly Daemor who was rather gifted with the blade he wasn't, intimidating nor agile he, however, was resilient and quick enough to be a threat to a young adult.

 

Cyrenaica our queen resigned herself to her studies learning about the flora and fauna of our land and how to safely cook a variety of otherwise toxic plants, which plants had medicinal properties which she rather loathed. The only subject which piqued her interest was a strategy she had stolen Daemor's book about it and had read it well over three times by now Cyrenaica's ambition was to be a great commander.

 

Our queen was interrupted by an aggrieved voice "You bitch" Adria would say

 

"Excuse me?" Before our queen could even turn around to look Adria had punched her on the cheekbone the flesh inside her mouth tearing on her teeth leaving the distinct taste of blood in Cyrenaica's mouth.

 

Our queen flung from her chair would look at Adria "You don't understand he just came up to me I did nothing."

 

Oh so you must think you're something fancy do you Cyrenaica? that all the boys want your pretty skin?! She would kick Cyrenaica's mouth, blood flooding out from her teeth cutting so deep into her flesh that it tore into her veins. She the queen was vanquished.

 

Adria would storm towards Cyrenaica hell bent on crushing every other bone in her body before her movement was halted by a hand that grabbed the back of her

 

Adria! That's enough! I'm breaking up with you, you're so insufferable that's not her fault leave her alone now. Lucius would say

 

 

Adria would begin to weep as Cyrenaica stood up Lucius seeing the damage done to her would rush over to Cyrenaica's aid and embrace her "I'm sorry I didn't think she would do this, I know you don't like me but at least let me make this up to you."

 

 

Before Cyrenaica could even say anything Adria struck with rage and jealousy would shout "I'll kill you both!"
she with her long nails clawed at Lucius's neck puncturing an artery

 

 

Lucius would recoil his eyes wide, Looking at Adria in shock before realizing he had no choice with one mammoth strike to her jaw he knocked her out.

 

 

Looking around him as if waiting to be castigated he would hear Cyrenaica's voice "you're hurt" before she reached out with her soft hands clamping down on his neck with all of her strength to stop the bleeding, "Go fast someone! get a medicus the loss of blood can kill him."
