RP: The river Parrett, clean, cool, and full of dreams.

Lifting her head with a smile at Frosty she notes a shadow from behind her. Grabbing for her sword that wasn’t there Marz turns quickly. Needing at least to face who it was behind her. Once her eyes landed on Lerendus she dropped back falling to the ground in shock. Seeing him reaching for her. “Lers what in the?” Then his hand dropping.

He looked worse for wear. She sat there staring at him. He looked as if he had been drug behind a horse threw all sorts of.. Well never mind. He looks wretched. Her hand slides up as if controlled by a separate source and wipes a strand of hair from in front of her eyes.

Checking she sees Frosty not far bathing in the sun. She hadn’t seen max awaken from his shock yet. She isn’t sure what to do or to think at the moment.

Ilaniol is enjoying an evening rowing upstream in his little row boat. He hears voices behind him and sees a group of people on the bank. Recognizing Marzy and frosty he waves and carries on rowing past the point where everyone is hanging around his oar suddnly hits somthing, oh well maybe its just rock. He looks over and can sees marzena, frosty, silvermain, and Lerendus but no one else around. Happily he waves to them and rows off up the river.

Laying there bathing in the sun Frosty hears a sudden movement and Marzy's voice behind her. Quickly standing up and turning around to see what the commotion is about she comes to halt when she notices Lerendus standing there...

Her eyes widened with surprise raising her brow she took in a deep breath." Oh My" her gaze shifted between the two, "Is everything alright over there?" she called out with a grin. Waving and giving Lerendus a nod.

Hearing the water making little splashes she looked over her shoulder and noticed Ilaniol in his boat. Turning to wave him over she heard a slight but not loud thud as the oar had hit something. She shrugs her shoulders "Must of hit a rock" she giggled as she sat back down on the edge with her feet dangling in the water.

Lerendus stood transfixed. He gazed around at everyone, gave a barely noticeable nod, then turned to look back at Marz. Just tell her how you feel, what you want. But what if she doesn't want what you want? Wouldn't you look foolish? He gazed at her. The light reflecting from the river behind her made her look heavenly, an angel from Jah. She looked lovely, divine. He stepped forward, remembered his thirst, moved past her to the stream, and knelt unsteadily on one knee. He cupped his hands, brought some water to his lips, drank. Delicious...cool and crisp. He had another drink, then splashed some water over his face, wash off some of the dirt and grime and weariness of travel. Paused, remembered her still standing there. Just tell her the truth. He stood up slowly, favoring one leg over the other, and turned to face her. Stared her in the eye, "I've been miserable without you."

Hearing Frosty well she wasn’t sure if all was ok or not. She watched as Lers walked passed her to the river. Drawing water up to quench his thirst. The water glistening along his strong chin. One she had spent so long memorizing.

Seeing Illy passing in the boat. Still shocked she smiled and raised a hand to wave. The loud echoing clunk of his oar on something unmistakable. Still she was so distracted by Ler’s strange behavior that she didn’t think to investigate it further. Besides being as neither Illy or Frosty seemed concerned. Well likely it was nothing.

Then Ler’s turned staring deep into her eyes. Jah he knew how to affect her. He’s been miserable with out me? Now wait he was miserable with me. shaking her head she rips a small section of her rags and walks over to the river beside him. Kneeling down she drops her hand and rag with in the cool waters.

Raising it again and wringing out excess water from its fibers. With a steady hand she begins washing the grime off that he had missed. “Mithed you , but no sure.” she mouthed as she continued to clean him up. She did love this man. For more time than any could have seen. Still to not be herself. Destroys so many in this world. Not just herself, but those who love her. An do not enjoy watching her slow demise.

He watched her come closer to him, felt the cool rag against his face, her gentle hand behind it, wiping his cheeks softly. He heard her speak, didn't quite register, nodded vaguely. His mind went back to when he left, why he left. It was such a poor excuse, a mistake. He looked at the woman still cleaning his face. Felt an unbearable affection for her. He pushed her hand away, reached out abruptly, and grabbed her by the waist. Pulled her against him, reached up, grabbed her face, felt her soft cheeks against his palm, looked into her eyes, those soft blue green eyes, heart beating fast, he pressed a kiss against her lips.

Stunned silly Marz felt the familiarity of her past husbands’ lips pressing into hers. Her mind drew blank. Forgetting all of her past. Both with him and others. All she could seem to focus on was this mere moment of passion. Unable to fight for a mere moment she only enjoyed his kiss.

The kiss having a temporary soothing of the ever active Marz. After a few blessed moments the kiss naturally broke. Still stunned for a slight moment. Marz looked back into his eyes. Could he really be ok with all her need for fun? Would he really be able to keep the acts of others from effecting them?

A small smile curled her lips as she gazed into his eyes. Waiting for his grip around her waist to loosen, as her hand fell to his shoulder. “Well Hail.” she winked before pushing him into the river. Pulling back hoping not to be dragged back into the waters with him.

Caught off guard Lerendus falls backwards into the river catching a mouthful of water. Laden with sword, shield, and boots he sinks slowly, touched bottom, and kicked back toward the surface, toward the bright the sun. He popped back up over the surface, spat out the water, coughed, blinked water out of his eyes. Time to get even. He took another mouthful of water and swam towards the shore, left his sword and shield on the shore, motioned for her to come closer, gave her a playful glance, and sprayed her down with the water in his mouth. He rolled over onto his back and floated away lazily still grinning at Marzy.

A look of shock and disgust flaring all her facial features. As Marzy’s jaw dropped open to the spray of water. All she did was make him swim. Not expel ones fluids upon him. Rightfully earned for the kiss.

Closing her mouth and huffing in a small rage Marz thought it be time to show him how well she could get even as well. Standing and turning quickly she gathered his sword and shield. Going to the very tree she leaned hers against.

Scaling the tree quickly she used small slender strips of her rags tying each to high up branches. Making note of what to do to his pants she had stolen long before.

After securely tying his sword and shield she walked back to the waters edge and washed her face. Looking up at him floating around lazily. Marz lunges diving straight for the his midline.

“REVENGE!!!” she screeches while reaching her arms to wrap around his waist. Wanting to be sure he is both caught off guard, but taken under with her.

Watching the rippling of the water as her feet made little splashes, Frosty turns her head looking over her shoulder to make sure everything was fine." Ooh things are better than fine " she thinks to herself as she catches a glimpse of their embrace. Turning her head quickly back towards the water.

Hearing a sudden "splash!" in the water then looking out to see Lerendus head pop up she giggled....and seeing him spray water at Marzy she pressed her lips together and shook her head....Watching as Marzy's face become furious, her eyes watched as Marzy climbed the tree, Frosty burst into laughter as she watched Marzy tie them up on the high branches.


When Marzy dove in the water Frosty smiled as she stood up walking over and gathering her clothes, putting them on behind the big tree Frosty then walks over to table picking up the pencil and a piece of paper and begins writing a note.......

Quote :

Marzy & Lerendus,

"Sorry to not say good bye but the two of ya's look very happy together and I can tell that there is a lot of Love there that needs nurturing and you can not do that with me here... Enjoy your Day together and i hope to be seeing you both again soon."

Best Wishes your friend,
Frosty

Smiling she begins to walks away down the path towards her home.

Lerendus heard it, one word, a shrill battle cry: Revenge. He righted himself, saw her flying at him, growing larger as she drew closer. Had just enough time to think on thought before being plunged into the water: Uh-oh. She smashed into him. He felt the impact. It knocked the wind out of him and dragged him under. He floated back to the surface, wiped water from his eyes and nostrils, looked around and reoriented himself. He found her head bobbing in the water a short distance away. Swam over to her, reached out and put his arms around her waist as he drew close. "You, my dear, are either evil, a genius, or both," he teased with a vague glance towards the tree in which his sword and shield now hang.

As Ler’s arms wrapped around her waist she instinctively kicked her feet. Pushing back into him. Hearing his words mid-fighting. She could help, but chuckle. “You Deverved!” she muttered choking on her scorched tongue and water.

Really she hadn’t truly been ready for such an attack either. Still it was truly needed. As she settled back taking a breath. Lifting a hand and wiping the water from her face. Smoothing her hair back in the same motions she accidentally flips her hair into Ler’s face.

She laughed a bit more as the sun gleamed on his shield and sword. Can’t wait to see him get those down. she thinks while laughing more. Naturally like times of before her arms now came to rest along his on her waist as they bobbed in the water.

Marzy tired of being prunish decides it’s high time to go dry off and eat again. Seperating from Ler’s she makes her way a shore. The water weighting her down slightly as she walks over to the table. Seeing a piece of paper laying there she reads it trying not to let the water from herself land upon the parchment.

Letting out a loud sigh she shakes off the water. Seeing as how again all the people ran from this fine event. “Dats it!” she insists. Now it was time to get a bit more aggressive.

A fine pay she has earned from her latest adventures. An a fine pay it was going to take to wake up her county. Going over to the tree she slips on her bright red silken gown. Using her double jointed shoulders to be able to firmly clasp in the back. Slipping her sword on her hip. Just to the side and slightly cocked as she once had to learn the hard way in Cornwall. Marzy the slaps her shield over he shoulder.

Looking back at Ler’s she shouts, “Be back!” the clamors and stomps off back towards the towns. This county needs a party like I can only bring!

Sometime later...

Pulling out her money purse she stormed each town buying up most of their ale. Instructing it to be delivered to this special spot. Barrels and wagons full of more barrels made a procession towards the river. If any in Somerset wants ale again. Well they have to come for it!















Not stopping there she storms off gathering more special items for this event. Lets draw out my own cousin shall we? Paying a great deal of mind and working her magical ways of trades against a firm carver she had a fine mahogany podium constructed. An paid further more for the grand stand to be delivered and set up.





Not stopping there she hires a group of guards to make sure all remained safe and stayed put while she worked on the other festivities.

Continuing on Marz pays for an archery set up to be delivered and set up. Men to clear out an opening large enough.





Grinning with a huge menacing grin. She thought especially of her friend Melody_soul fire. In each town she paid heavy for all the poker tables each town had.









Finding a rare group of setting up festivals. Marz orders a maypole as well.

A tavern withoout ale! Frosty follows all the kegs down to the river with her mug in hand....

Seeing all the fun activities she taps the keg and begins filling her mug...After she finished drinking she decides to join in on the fun hoping to see her friends from Bridgewater as well as to meet more of the people of Somerset County.

Having already joined in on the festivities. Ringing out water between throwers at the dunk tank and rubbing her moon end from the lesson taught to her in the swords match she has a special note written to be placed in the center of the festivities…

Quote :

To all my friends of Somerset,

Welcome to the festivle of mid summer! Come have the ale. Since this is all the ale in Somerset I know ya all will be getting thirsty. A slight pause in the letter as she giggles.

Come join us for some fun! Men come dunk me for ye pants back! Ladies come enjoy 50 of our counties men with out pants! Another pause as she sees the counties men’s legs walking around and grins.

Stick around for a special wedding and reception for one of our own! Come, come enjoy our grand county, and all of it’s people! All are invited!

Merrily
Marzy

Having a young squire of the duke deliver it. An pin the letter to a tree she giggles and climbs back into the dunk tank.

Running a few minute late, Frsoty rushes to the river and grabs a drink, then sits down by the river bank takes off her shoes, begins twirling her foot around in the water.
Turning her head to look over her shoulder glancing around she patiantly waits for Dave.

Frosty looks up as she hears someone approaching her. Tilting her head to look up smiling as she sees Marzy. Giving her a nod to sit down with her, Frosty straightens some of the wrinkles out of dress then proceeds to let her hair down. Shaking her head as her hair cascades gently down her back, smiling she gives Marz a nudge back.

"I can't wait to see thump_her loose on him again." she begins to laugh. "Rearrangement surgery eh? Oh well I need a nice man anyway and he did seem to be a little mean." Lightly splashing her feet in the water she looks down smiling. " No worries I will look stunning for the reception."

Turning her head looking around she still does not see Dave anywhere.

Repeatedly bumping her shoulder into Frosty’s she grins devilishly. “If it helps…” she pauses the shortest of moments ever recorded. “Seems I am single to. Really have been awhile. I’m heading to bath to meet some of those from there.” she pauses a little longer. Knowing Frosty knew why she would be heading there. “Would you like to come party in Bath? Seems we have an invite.” she smiles softly to her friend.

“Of course it will have to be after Islands wedding tomorrow.” Leaning up against her friend she lets her hair down and lays her head on her shoulder. “Really hun why do we do this to ourselves? If they aren’t cheaters. Then they are jealous obsessive fools.” sighing deeply she rests enjoying the light flickering over the water.

“Or they like to make plans for us with out even consulting us on our thoughts of the matter. Still you are right. We need to find you a good man. One to make your toes curl, but uphold your confidence and trust. But who and where?” she looks out the corner of her eye for a slight moment.

The early morning call of a morning lark caught Marzy’s attention. Slowly waking her she jumped a bit frightened. With a gasp of shock. “Oh my jah the wedding!” she whelps while trying to stir Frosty.

Seems both had fallen asleep talking and enjoying their quiet time. Jumping off she practically drags Frosty off to prepare for the wedding. Their hair strewn and weighted with morning dew, and their dresses matted with the earth where they had slept.

Awaking early in the morning, walking over to the window Frosty peers out only to realize it had been a while since she has been to the river.... She gets cleaned up, has her breakfast , grabs a few things then strolls down the river bank.

Looking around and seeing no one she goes behind the big tree, coming back out into the open in her camisole, placing her clothes and her towel close by in the grass, Frosty goes to bank and dives gracefully into the water, swimming about until all the stress and tension leave her body.

Swimming back to the bank Frosty pushes herself up onto the edge, twisting her body gently to sit on the ground. She holds her head back, closing her eyes absorbing the warm rays of the sun. Smiling peacefully she slowly proceeds to lean back coming to rest on her arms as the palms of her hands are pressed firmly in the earth.

Receiving horrid new she storms around town in a fit. Thinking long and hard for a short while she remembered her long forgotten spot. Heading to the clearing she sees her frame. Marching right up to her best friend she begins to hallor and make a rucuss. “What is this you are leaving BW? THIS IS NOT TOLERABLE!” Pacing back and forth in a fit eventually dropping she sits lazily next to her friend her eyes scornful that she hadn’t at least told her herself.

Frosty looks at her friend trying to smile...shaking her head, "Are you done?" she glares up at Marz.....

"Now that you are sitting, I did not want to tell you until after the wedding.... It is your special day and You and Hein deserve great happiness, with no worries and no sorrows you have been through enough of lately..besides the two of you will be starting a great life together".."As for me" she shrugs tilting her head ...."Well i will be spending a lot of time getting to know my family, i really do miss them".... A beaming smile crosses her face.

"Lets not talk about this now, we have a wedding to plan!" she nudges Marz with her shoulder....

She listened to her friend still agitated beyond the max. Shaking her head, ‘This is all over yours and my poor treatment. The same one who dared call me a wolf all that time ago in Cornwall now hurt you. Publicly might I add. Rather than look at their methods. Nay, nay unacceptable. I need you. Simply put you are my best friend who I didn’t have to use to watch this country. If I must then I shall. I need one to help me keep the southern division of the dragons running. I wish it to be you. I have simply put been to busy as mayor to do my share, but our members grow to where they need direction. My family the Morgans have many useful people with in our family army. People who other wise are untouchable and useable to any other army. Simply put since moving here to BW. Our family numbers have grown as we locate more and more Morgans. As a family long ago being royal we were blessed with right of birth an army to protect us.” wringing her hands with a heavy sigh.

“The dragons members The Order of The Dragon is primarily an army sworn to protect the Noble House of Morgan from enemies both foreign and domestic. The Order of The Dragon can by request be subordinated to support the National Army of England, but will at all times remain under direct control of its own commanders. The Order of The Dragon primary role is to protect and defend the lives and property of The Morgan family and their allies.”

Pausing a moment. “The most important thing it to protect England, and the family. I have witnessed no other I would in trust my children to with in the lands both near and far. Frosty my closest friend, and farthest ally. Can you please help assist me and the many here in the south in keeping the Morgans safe? Unite our families the De Vega’s and Morgans in the general cause of protecting England, and our families. Lets now and for ever fight together not apart any more. Besides it was my cousin Solumn Morgan who put an end to Anto’s tyranny. Come my friend stand with me when I never asked before. Then I will go and wed happily my sweet lord Heinrich. Knowing we all are blessed with such a friend and her true protection as you. The order is the only militant group I myself have sworn oath to. ”

She stopped taking a breath realizing that now she has said more than she ever had before to her friend. She knew her friend would be over whelmed. As many didn’t even know what the dragons were really about, or of their existance. No different than KOP just for a different family. It had held itself pretty quiet for a long time. Until now Marzy had thought it important with her friend to let her know. She couldn’t loose her friend now, not ever. Not over the horrible judgment of only a couple. Neither was here to stop any one, but those who wished harm to the country. This was their home they had just as much right as any to defend it. Just as much right to do such with out being attacked, and poorly named. “If this isn’t enough my friend. I know not what else to speak. I have nothing else to offer beyond my friendship, and my family.” her face turned soft. Standing and helping her friend up with a hand she waited them both to rise. Jokingly trying to lighten the mood. “An people wonder how come the family is so large.” she beams with a delightful grin.”
