Festival 1024
Shortly before the new year Renalli convinces Lorelei that the two of them should spend Festival on the Isle of the Winds. She reluctantly agreed, and the two attended Nue Shalla’s grand party. The new year celebration Andrell and Melina had was spectacular. Griswald even managed to ship up some R’rabian fireworks for the celebration.After the party was over, Renalli and Lorelei were still rarin’ to go, so you, Jotham, Courtney, Lady Lorelei, and Norag headed to Courtney’s suite to party some more. Courtney cracked open a bottle of Elven “Narilric” wine, and everyone sat around telling stories about each other.
Somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd bottle, Lorelei excused herself, yawning widely as she said her fare wells. The rest continued to party, laughing into the wee hours of the morning.
Just as Jotham open the 6th bottle of wine of the evening , a vision of loveliness appeared a few feet above the floor. She is slender, about six feet tall, blond hair, vaguely elven, yet definitely human, except for the pearl white wings slowly beating behind her. She is glowing faintly, much like Cerelia did during her time with Knorr. Her gown and robes are semi-opaque, allowing you to catch glimpses of her perfect body underneath. Renalli gasps as she realizes the woman bears a strong resemblance to Luna. She begins to speak, her voice exactly like that Luna used when she was the Voice.
“My children, you have done well. The forces of light have won this round of the battle, thanks to you. It will be many years before the forces of dark are prepared to fight again. So relax, and raise your children well. The next battles are theirs to fight, not yours.”
As she faded from view, Norag stood up. “Whoa,” he said, “I think I have had way too much to drink,” He staggers to the doorway as the rest look at each other. He stumbles out into the hall, and Renalli begins giggling.
“I’d better go help him,” Renalli says, and she winks at Courtney and Jotham knowing she is leaving them alone together. Ren bounces up, and even though she isn’t too steady on her feet either, she manages to glide smoothly out the door in pursuit of Norag.
Ren wanders the halls for a few minutes, giddy and very drunk. She can’t find Norag anywhere. She slumps down against a wall, frustrated, when a very handsome young soldier asks her if he can help. Renalli smiles brightly, and says “Yesh, take me home.” He helps her to her feet, and supports her as she staggers down the hallway.
Renalli wakes later that morning, not knowing how she got into her own bed. The only thing she really remembers after the young soldier helped her up was kissing his earlobe. She glances to the other side of her bed, relieved to find it empty. Ren lies back, about to relax a bit, when she notices the handsome young man standing shirtless in her doorway.
“Wh-what happened last night?” Renalli asks.
The handsome soldier looks embarrassed. Ren thinks to herself, He doesn’t look the type to be easily embarrassed.
“I helped you back to your rooms late last night. You were obviously besotted by wine, elven was it?”
“Y-yes. I asked what happened last night?” Gesturing to him, the bed, and herself, noticing that all she was wearing was her shirt from the previous evening.
The soldier turns the desk chair around and sits in it backwards, facing Ren and speaks slowly. “You were drunk, milady, I have too much honor to take adavantage of a drunk woman. You begged me to stay with you. Asked me to take you, pleaded, and finally you were just content for me to hold you through out the remainder of the night.”
“I was not myself last night. I thank you, Your Honor saved me from a most horrific morning. Let us be properly introduced, I’m…”
The soldier stands up quickly, “I know who you are, Ren Nakye, the Untouchable. Friendly, fearless, festive but never takes a man , or woman home. Not even a lusty glance for a single soul. Yes, I know you. I, my name is Jordan, Isle Guard and Knight of the Order of the Dragon’s Flame.”
Ren blushes slightly. Why am I so inclined to like this man… Yes he is handsome.. Long blonde hair, loose now, he had it tied back last night, Renalli thinks and remembers. Ren dear, what are you? 28? 27? You aren’t getting any younger. Aloud, “Jordan, would you care to have lunch with me? As thanks to your honor?”
“Cer-certainly. I can have something brought to us.”
“No… I have something to take care of first. Meet me in a couple of hours. Please leave me so I can dress.”
Renalli dresses and searches out Luna, slaps her hard the moment Ren sees Luna.
In a low angry voice, Renalli says to Luna, “What the hell went on last night? I will be be no ones BROOD MARE, not my father’s, not your’s not some damned god’s. I may live the life of a rogue, but I was still raised a lady. I don’t sleep with every soldier that walks by.”
And so the romance of Renalli Nakye and Jordan Malloc begins. They court each other for a year and are married.
