Castle Tyren

First topic message reminder :

Some say Castle Tyren is empty, and some disagree. The castle is surrounded by a deep mote and rumors has it that crocodiles lived in it's muddy water. The castle is usually dark, but sometimes, a glint of light would shine from the windows at odd hours of the day. So who can say?

Alina took in this strangers appearance before nodding."Whats your name?"She asked in an authorized tone.

"Kyen mam" he answered as he shifted back to a man and his eyes held a glint of amusement.

Alina shifted back and gave the man a nod.She heard a horn in the distance and knew it was time for her to be going back to the castle."I'm sorry but I must get back to my home.Father would be waiting."She said with an apologetic smile.

Kyen nodded slightly and raced Blue Ice,
"Have a fine day." he said simply.

Fey frowned softly and nodded to Alina "Good bye little princess". Fey walked away from the horse so that Alina would be able to get on without her in the way.

Alina turned and nodded to the nymph before climbing onto the horse bareback before looking back at Kyen."Would you accompany me?I assume you have no place to stay."She held out a hand smiling warmly.

Kyen watched with interest as the woman parted. He waited silently.

Fey looked over to Kyen and lifted a brow "She has invited you to accompany her wolf I suggest you accept that offer".

Alina kept the smile pasted and waited patiently despite another blow from a horn in the distance.

Kyen smiled,
"Thank you great spirt." his tone was cam, easy, mysterious. Sheaving his sword, Kyen changed and padded over to join the young princess in his wolf form.

Alina smiled down at the wolf before nudging her mount forward wishing the young nymph luck as she trotted away towards the castle once more.As she approached the gate she dismounted and walked towards a guardsmen standing at his post.

Kyen sat, looking up at the man, he wasn't sure why she would like to invite him, a hunter of the night to see her father. He wasn't afraid though, hewas one of the best swards man around.

The guards men bowed in Alinas presence addressing her formally."My lady."Then he spotted the wolf at her side and raised an eyebrow at his princess questioningly.

"One of us."She said before walking into the courtyard."Take care of Sagar for me."She called over her shoulder.She paused one she was inside the doors of the castle and down a few halls coming to an empty room where she closed the door behind them.

Kyen was interested, he padded at her side, his large paws making hardly any sound and his golden gaze fixed constantly on her.

Alina turned to face kyen while shifting to her wolf form."What made you treully come here?"She asked in a gentle voice while settling on her haunches.

He shrugged,
"I got time off."

"Time off?"Alina cocked her head to the side."What do you mean?"

A smile played across his lips,
"Even hunters of the night get time off. I was given time to look for the boy I rescued, Stephon. He is like a sun to me." he said simply.

Alina blinked."Stephon?"She felt uneasy now.What did this man want with Stephon?

Kyen tensed,
"You know who and where he is." he looked into her eyes, "I love that boy. He went missing several years back after..." he stopepd and shook his head, "After an incident. I gave him time to run but I haven't seen him ever since, I've never tracking him as soon as I had my strength back.

Alina shifted human so she could speak clearly."Stephon is my brother.You must be his rescuer that rescued him those evil demons.I thank you for that."Alina smiled finally seeing her brothers rescuer."He is in the gardens now as we speak,a place he goes now a days to put his mind at ease."Alina stepped up to Kyen and took his hand gently."We all were shocked when he arrived here two years ago all scratched and biruzed.Thank you so much for bringing my brother back"

Kyen nodded slightly, he was unused to such thanks form others.
"I done what I thought was right at the time." he said quietly as he followed her into the garden. When he saw the boy, now a young man, he stopped and simply stood in silence. He wasn't sure if going to him would bring back memories, after all, they have both gone through hale.

Alina chuckled and waved a hand in the air.Stephon!Stephon over here!"


The young man turned to see his sister and smiled warmly."Hello."He called back.Then he rose to his feet seeing the man behind her.He blinked."Who is with you sister?"He asked as he began to walk towards them.

"Kyen."Alina replied as her brother paused before her.She threw herself at him and hugged him tight before she was pushed away.

Kyen?Is that you?"His memory had come back to him.

"Aie lad, it is me. I'm glad you found your way home." he said, his tone soft, he was unused to such social situations and he simply ran his blue grey gaze down his body, making sure everything was as it was supposed to be. "Night Hawk, do you still have it?" he asked finally, after a time have passed in silence.

Alina chuckled."With that sword my brother is a natural swords men.But I still beat him in duels."

Stephon nodded though he cast a challenging glare at his sister.He unsheathed the blade from his belt and held it proudly between the two men."This sword is magnificent.Saved my life it did and now it returns to you."Stephon flicked the blade down toward the ground and held out the handle."Thanks for your help."He smiled.
