Under The Light Of The Moon
Revelations
Thane looked directly at Verity.
Thane
You jest my lady, how could I marry you? You are engaged to my cousin and will be empress one day.
Verity
That will never happen. I think you know this too. Lets get out of here please Thane. At least for old times sake, hear me out.
Thane again smiled, but this time he grinned from ear to ear.
Thane
*holds out his hand* Lets run away
Thane
They are headed this way, and guessing by your attire you weren't planning on going for the shopping trip but where planning to make a quick getaway.
Verity
Okay lets go. *takes Thanes hand* I don't think I could take another round of them making eyes at each other all day. while I do all the hardwork.
Thane
pfft *nods in agreement*
Thane makes a low whistle and a black horse appears, covered in regalia. It is as dark and handsome as its owner.
Thane mounts the horse with ease and pulls Verity up with him. She relaxes as his arms come round her and catch the reigns. They can hear lots of shouting behind them as they ride away.
Thane
*leans forward* The answers yes by the way.
Verity felt shivers as he whispered in her ear. She couldn't help but smile.
Verity
I hope I have chosen right this time. By the moonlight I hope this time is different.
The horse slowed as they reached the destination. They had come to the Netherfield estate.
Thane
No one will disturb us here
They dismount and a butler takes the horse.
Thane
Follow me I will show you to the Parlour, then if you don't mind I would like to take this uniform off before we talk.
Verity
You don't have to I remember where it is, even though it has been a while.
Thane
Okay then I will be with you shortly
Verity makes her way to the parlour, and sits on a sofa
Verity
I hope that listening to you won't make this worse and I die sooner. You told me to turn to you so I have. Don't let me down.
verity is mumbling to her self
Verity
I remember chasing you through these halls not so long ago. I would catch you and kiss you on the cheek. You would exclaim your disgust and wipe it away with your sleeve. While Gwain would swoop in and ask for a kiss instead. who knew even when we where children he was playing me. I will see your head sliced this time Gwain and watch my sister cry for real.
Thane
I'm glad you have fond memories of me.
Thane
I have very sensitive hearing due to the Moon blood magic I inherited thanks to my mother being the sister of the emporer.
Verity
Oh I didn't know, that you had inherited that trait.
Thane
why do you think I always won at hide and seak?
Thane
I know you have returned
Thane
you have returned, you have been reborn, each time I have waited for you to choose me but you have never noticed me not once. You and I where close.as children but he always gets in the way.
Verity
How do you know? what do you know?
Thane
I have the Moon blood. I can sense these things, I also can see snippets of your past lifes and how I appear in them.
Verity
So you know that you have killed me
Thane
Yes i am ashamed. The first time I was angry because you chose him over me. The second time I felt as if I was loosing a part of myself. The third time I died with you.
Thane
Yes after taking your life I took mine, each time the pain was unbearable. Then I would find myself back at the beginning, waiting for you.
Verity felt her heart beating for this man infront of her.
Thane
I want to punish those who hurt you! They deserve it. My cousin, your sister, your parents and those nobels who all new the truth and condemned you anyway.
verity felt this time she had made a good choice.
Verity
very well lets punish them all. But first why did you push me away if you liked me. I would have married you in a heartbeat back then.
Thane
Because I believed him. He told me you hated me, that you where in love with him and that you where using me to make him jealous. You where cold and untouchable, I assumed he was correct.
Verity
I know we where young, but I turned to him because you pushed me away. You told me you would never love me, It's only 2 years ago, but it feel like decades since the returns happened. I didn't know I could turn to you. I was sure that you had forgotten me.
Thane
I am truly sorry for the pain my stupidity has caused you. I will spend the rest of this life and any others making it up you.
Verity nods. accepting the apology
Verity
Right that's the past let's get started on the future. In order to break the engagement with Gwain I need to prove infidelity which shouldn't be too difficult.
Thane
Yes we can use today as an excuse, you caught them cheating so you turned to an old friend for comfort.
Verity
yes we just need some people to confirm it, and it would be good if we can involve them in a public scandal.
Verity
Yes the Ball, what a brilliant idea. He has to escort me, but i am sure they will have some plan to meet up in some way. Let's make it look like he is ignoring me as well. he's pretty good at pretending in public. I have a few idea's.
Thane
You know some of the future don't you?
Thane
Do you know your sister is carrying the crown prince's child.
Verity
she's carrying a child. a child of the moon. damn
Thane
yes a child but not of the Moon
Verity
how is it not a moon child. he's the crown prince
Thane
He is not the emporers child
Thane
The Queen had an affair. He is the product of that love, not the emporers child but a servants.
Verity
wait so you are the true heir
