The Obsidian Heir

Anna

   Anna opened her eyes, something felt sticky. She sat up in her bed and shuffled her self to her spruce wooden headboard. She lifted her covers and saw that her beautiful white gown she was wearing have turned the color of blood red.
   Her white sheet has gone to the color of red too. Oh no... she thought. She rushed out her bed and took off her gown and underwear. Her womanhood and boobs being exposed. Her boobs were the size of two oranges and her nipples were like tiny stems. She had pointy breast.
   She put on a red gown and red underwear, so her period would not show on the colors of her clothes. She put her white gown and underwear in a straw basket she closed afterwards. She called for her maiden and she covered the blood stain sheet with her bed covers. Her maiden Lysa Trish walked into her room as she shut the door she looked at Anna, "Why the red gown, my lady?" Lysa asked.
   Anna hesitated, "I uh-" she begin, "I don't know." Lysa looked at her suspiciously, "May you fill my tub with hot bubbling water Lysa?" asked Anna. Lysa nodded, her black hair was up in a bun and her bronze skin was smooth. Her eyes were shaped like brown ovals. Her voice was smooth and soft. Unlike Anna, her chest could be seen from under her pink silky dress they were so big. Lysa was slim and boney.
   All the knights would look at her, and Anna even caught Righara looking at her. Another thing we need is a bastard in the family, she thought.
   She had nothing against bastards, she just had a big enough family already, she didn't feel like having to keep up with anymore names. She twiddled with her fingers as usual. Before Lysa went to go get hot water, she asked Anna a question, "Would you like me to bathe you, my lady?" asked Lysa.  Anna shook her head, "No thank you maiden Lysa," Anna said in a low tone.
   As Lysa left, Anna sat back on her bed and tears filled her eyes as the cramps in her stomach increased. The pain, it was unbearable to Anna. She could hear yelling from outsude her door. It was her father's voice. She pushed herself off the bed and put her ear up to the door.
   "Fuck, you stupid bitch!" yelled her father. There was a sound of a slap. Who was he talking to? She creaked the door open and saw the Goat Knight on the floor with a giant red knot on his face.
   "Father, stop!" Anna yelled as she swung the door open. Anna's eyes were filled with tears. Her cheeks were red, and eyes blood red. Raehera looked at Anna as she grabbed the Goat Knight. She was shaking in fear of her father's behavior.
   Raehera looked at Anna, "Defending a man of treason," her father said dissatisfied, "How is he doing any treason, tell me now!" she demanded. Her hands shook as she held William Black the fifth.
   He stood up, "I'm okay sweetling," William Black the fifth said as he rubbed his finger across Anna's face. Raehera unsheathed his sword and pointed it at William's neck, "Get your hands of my daughter," demanded Raehera.
   The Goat Knight backed up, "I said no treason, I was going to tell you about the potion Avalon gave me and everything," said the Goat Knight. Anna didn't remember hearing a part about William and the unknown man's conversation where it had a potion. The unknown man must've been Avalon.
   Raehera's face was red as fire, but went to the color of the midnight moon, "Tell me then, come to the council room. My sweet Anna will not hear of any of this," demanded Raehera as he lead William to the council room.
   William gave Anna a polite stare as they left. His face pulsing in red pain. Anna's eyes were sad, she told her father not to hurt him, but he did anyway. He betrayed their promise.
   She walked to her room where her maiden, Lysa, was pouring hot water into the tub, "Okay, my lady, your tub is ready for you," said Lysa as she gestured her hands in the direction of the tub.
   Anna gave her a courteous nod and walked over to the tub, "You may take your leave Lysa," said Anna. Lysa nodded and left her room shutting the door behind her.
   Anna took off her red gown and underwear, and dipped her foot in the hot water. It was warm and felt soothing against her skin. She put her other foot in the wooden tub, then her whole body.
   As she relaxed in the tub the water went up to the middle of her chest. She laid her hands and arms in the water and forced it down in her womanhood. She gave a soft mode. What had gotten into her?
   She couldn't help it, the feeling... it made her alive. She gave a louder moan and she stopped herself from continuing the fingering. She looked around uncomfortable and stared at the door to see if anyone was entering.
   She sighed and shifted in her tub filled with hot water. Her womanhood tingling with horniness. Hormones she guessed. The sorcerers say that the hormones can cause her feelings to change tides.
   She assumed that this was happening to her right now. She grabbed her bar of soap and begin cleansing her body with it. She let her hair soak in the soapy water of the tub and she rubbed it and scratched her scalp. Making sure she cleansed herself good enough.
   Once she finished bathing herself, she stood out of her tub and grabbed a white towel. It was rough and coarse, good for drying water. She roughly rubbed it across her wet skin and hair. Her skin was red from where she rubbed her body too hard. Once she was finished she put on the red gown and underwear once again and walked out her room. She walked down the stone hallway and to the Great Hall.
   Breakfast must be served and she hoped that Chef Reynolds had made her favorite fried eggs. Once she got down to the giant dining room called the Great Hall, she took her seat next to John. All her family was there. And house Gillen who sat across from her. Why were they here? she wondered.
   Then it popped in her mind, it was her sister's eighteenth name day. A plate was set in front of her and it had game, fried eggs, a loaf of bread, oysters, and cod on it. Anna was starving while her stomach was cramping. She tried to ignore the pain, but it was just too much for her. Her womanhood still tingling with horniness.
   Anna tried to not make it a disturbance at the table. There was five Gillen family members at the table, all brothers. Loren Gillen was king of Highbay. His other brothers were... Yelen Gillen, Fae Gillen, Opal Gillen, and Loris Gillen.
   Yelen Gillen had long blonde hair, a stubby nose, blue eyes, tiny beard hairs on his chin and was short. He wore a golden robe that reflected the torches, candles, and chandaliers.
   Fae Gillen looked exactly the same except his hair was curly and his eyes were brown. Instead he had a pointy nose, but overall the sharp jawline and face shape were nearly the same. He also wore a black robe with velvet stripes.
   Opal Gillen had acne all over his face, and was about Anna's age. His eyes were dark blue and his hair was medium Brown and went to his neck. And he wore a blue robe in honor of Rein.
   Finally Loris Gillen had short brown hair, pale smooth skin, and light brown eyes. His jawline was round and so was the rest of his face. He wore a red robe the same color as Anna's gown. Their mother died giving birth to Loris and their father died in war. How depressing. Anna hoped her father would never die.
   Thinking of her father she remembered the action between him and the Goat Knight earlier today. Neither of them were at the table. The people at the table insisted of...
   The Gillen brothers, Teval Oaks, her whole family except her father. The Goat Knight wasn't there. T'tara was, Talon Nates, Kale Goro, Tay Philip. Iline Paris, Hodent Ro, Righara's master of ships, Gavin Knots, Righara's master of coin. And finally Haydin Sarah, Righara's regent.
  Haydin Sara had short greasy black hair with a stunted jaw and wrinkles all surrounded his perilous black eyes. His eyes seemed evil... at least to Anna. He even wore a black robe to match his eyes.
   Gavin Knots was a plump man with a great black beard and long oily black hair. He had red skin, and black eyes. His ears poked out from his long hair, and his nose had the hairs of his giant black mustache under it. He wore a dark blue and gray garb with a black pin that loogarbked like a knight's helm. It had no meaning though, it was only for looks.
   Hodent Ro was a giant man with long white hair, and a great barbed white beard. His face seened stern all the time and was as still as a statue. His meaning brown eyes could poerce through your soul if you caught a glaring battle with him. He was tall and buff too. A giant he was indeed with a black laced up linen shirt with black pants.
   Anna didn't stare at him long, so she won't get in one of those glaring battles.
   He scared her, just the look of him. Righara rubbed his belly with his greasy hands, he had been digging in his food, not in a kingly manner.
   Righara looked over at Anna, food all in his colossus brown beard that has grown strands of gray hair. "Anna, my sweet neice," he said to her, "Where may your father be?" "He's in his council room with the Goat Knight," she answered awkwardly.
   "Oh, I've heard about that new house from Raehera, and that the Goat Knight was discussing it with that unknown man. He told me you were the one who came to him," said Righara, "Good girl to report such discussion under the king's ears."
   Anna gave a thankful nod (Although she meant no thanks), and used her fork to stuff some of the delicious fried eggs that Chef Reynolds served her. She looked around the table and caught Opal staring at her, but he looked away as quick as lightning.
   Anna got anxious. Why was he staring at me? Anna wondered. She felt uncomfortable, I hope he doesn't like me... he doesn't even know me, she thought.
   Her face was red, not of being flattered, but of being anxious.
   She slowly continued eating her food uncomfortably.
   "So I've heard there was supposed to be a jousting tournament for the second year anniversary of the victory at Eren River," Loren said, "Yeah when is it?" asked Yelen. Both of their voices sounding as if they had too much pride in them.
   It kinda got on Anna's nerves a bit. "Yeah there was, but my dear brother decided to wait till Lyanna's and your wedding," responded Righara looking at Loren. Loren gave a sweet smile and then gave it to Lyanna. Lyanna's face turned red, she gave a smile back. "How splendid, I cannot wait, my brother Yelen will be competing in it," he said confident, hoping he was right. It wasn't a question, but Righara took it as one, "I believe he was on the list for the jousting tournament."
   Anna hated the Gillen brothers, all filled with pride and confidence. They always wanted to be the center of attention and thought they were better than everyone. All except Opal, he wasn't the prettiest one, but he didn't fall in line with them ever. They got on Anna's nerves too much. And to think her sister likes one of them.
   "I'll be taking him down," said Hall confidentially. Yelen's face turned red, "My brother has had three years of jousting practice, he won't fall easily," Loren said defending his brother from sounding weak. "I've had five years of jousting practice, my father allowed me as a boy for the moment to whoop your arse Yelen," said Hall chuckling, Righara chuckled along with him, but Yelen wasn't having it. He got up from the table and barged out the Great Hall.
   Hall stopped chuckling, "I was only joking, exscuse me," Hall apologized. Loren shook his head, "He takes things too serious." Even Loren knew Hall was joking. Yelen took everything in a serious manner, always. Joke or not. If he was a king, he'd be called Yelen the Stern, but greatfully Loren was taking the spot as king of Highbay. Loren didn't take everything seriously, he knew when someone was joking. Righara looked at Hall, "I thought you were being serious, I really believe you will kick his arse. Even if you were younger than the boy," said Righara.
   It's one thing Anna liked about Loren; he wasn't as serious as his brother Yelen.
   She looked at John, he hated the Gillen brothers too, but him and Opal got along a lot, too much. They both loved to read and research. She always wondered if John was not gonna be a knight and just a wisdom. Even a sorcerer mayhaps.
   Loris Gillen had food all over his face. Eggs were somehow in his hair. He stuffed his face back into his food, "Have some manners Loris," demanded Lorane. Rhya shook her head in disapproval and so did Laura. Righara just chuckled as usual, "Let the boy be like a king, although he'll be a strong gallant knight one day, let him feast like a king at the least," said Righara still chuckling, nearly choking on his food.
   Loris giggled and didn't listen to Lorane, but took inspiration from Righara. Loren didn't seem to care, he chuckled, "That's right, he'll be a knight who'll know how to feast." Lyanna didn't seem to like that. Loren noticed it and frowned, "You know what, maybe you should eat correctly. This is a royal family," Loren said to please Lyanna.
   "Righara's the wrong man to take inspiration from," Teval said laughing. He side eyed Righara to make sure he was laughing, but he wasn't. "What'd you say?" Righara said looking stern and angry. He face strained and veins popped. He was holding something back. Teval looked nervous, until Righara bursted out laughing. Teval gave a nervous chuckle, so that's what Righara was holding in. More thundering laughter to unleash.
   His council men laughed along with him, so did Raehera's. Righara stopped laughing, "I should have your head off for that," Righara said sternly. Teval grown nervous once more. Everyone else stopped laughing, "But we'll need someone to keep their mouth to joke around like that," he said booming with laughter. Everyone laughed once again. Anna didn't, she didn't get the humor of men. Lyanna seemed to have because she was turning red from laughter, so was Loren Gillen.
   Anna quickly finished her food, and exscused herself from the table. Her grandmother followed her unknowingly.
   Once Anna made it to her room she took off her covers and it undercovered the bloodstained sheet. She looked at it with disgust. "I knew it," her grandmother said from behind.
   "Do we need to start the cleaning the menstrauting process?" asked Lorane. Anna grown anxious, "No grandmother, I hate the process, please don't make me do that," pleaded Anna. Her eyes filled with tears. She would have to get a wooden stick surrounded by cotton put into her uterus, the stick with cotton was called a tampion.
   Anna quickly took off her sheets and put it in her laundry basket, "Grandmother the process is more painful than the actual menstrauting, please don't make me do the process," said Anna. Lorane sighed and sat on her bed's uncovered mattress, "Sit with me," demanded Lorane.
   Anna slowly approached her mattress and sat down on it. She fidgeted with her fingers nervously.
   "I know it's hard Anna," begun Lorane, "Menstrauting, it is. I had to deal with it, Lyanna deals with it, your mother and all women do once they start puberty."
   Anna hated lectures, her face grown red with agitation. She begin shaking her foot impatiently.
   Her grandmother noticed it, "Do I need to bring my maidens in here to hold you down?" asked Lorane. Anna shook her head, "No," she answered shortly. "So will you do the process by yourself?" asked Lorane. Anna nodded her head, although she was lying. "You swear it on the gods with no names?" asked her grandmother.
   Like her father, she didn't believed in those gods, she didn't believe in any gods. Anna froze unable to answer. She didn't want to make her grandmother upset, although Lorane could sense Anna's true answer to her question.
   "Forgive me, I forgot. You're like your father you don't believe in the gods, swear it on your family then," demanded Lorane.
   Anna didn't want to swear anything on her family that she wouldn't really do. Lorane glared at her with her imitating eyes. "Swear it," Lorane demanded angrily impatient. A minute of staring passed by.
   "Maidens!" Lorane called. Anna begin to tear up and started to scream, "No!" A few maidens entered shortly after Lorane called them. "Bring the tampion, Anna is on the rag," demanded Lorane, one of the five maidens left, "The rest of you hold her down."
   There was four maidens, two of them held her arms down, while the other two held her legs down. Lorane tore off Anna's red gown and then her underwear which was wet from the discharged blood. Her boobs shook around as Anna tried to squirm out of all the maiden's grasp.
   The fifth maiden came in with the tampion. And gave it to Lorane. The fifth maiden held her head down. Anna shook her body, so Lorane could not enter the tampion into Anna's uterus.
   Anna screamed and tears fell down her face, "Slap her!" yelled Lorane, "Maybe she'll listen now and next time!"
   The maiden who was holding her head down gave her a struck of pain with her hand.
   Lorane frowned, she didn't want to hurt Anna, but she had to make her listen somehow. Although Anna still shook, and this time with pain. The maiden gave her another slap. Anna cried out for her father.
   Raehera, the Goat knight and three other guards rushed into the room. Once Raehera caught the sight of what was happening his face blazed with anger.
   "STOP THIS AT ONCE!" boomed Raehera. His voice boomed like thunder, and the maidens all stopped. "ALL OF THE MAIDEN'S HEADS AT ONCE, EXCEPT FOR MY MOTHER'S!" demanded Raehera. The five maidens let go of Anna and they gave shrieks of fear.
   The knights slashed off their heads, "WILLIAM MAKE LORANE CLEAN THE BLOOD EVERYWHERE, IF SHE DOESN'T SLASH AT HER BACK UNTIL SHE PASSES OUT!" demanded Raehera. Blood shot everywhere around Anna's chambers as heads flew around onto the ground. Anna ran off her bed and behind her father who was wearing white shining armor and a blue cape. He wore a quartz crown that had sapphires in it.
   Lorane shook in fear, "Now instead of trying to clean Anna's blood, clean the blood of your damned maidens, and their fucking bloody bodies. I want them all buried by you in the graveyard by you too mother. William watch her," demanded Raehera, "Other guards, guard the door to this room. No one is to enter without my permission."
   Anna went back into her room and grabbed clothes to cover her naked body, she ran out into the hall and quickly dressed. "I am not cleaning your mess," argued Lorane, "You tried cleaning Anna's bloody mess, William her back now!" Raehera demanded, his face still red with burning anger. William nodded and slashed his sword at Lorane's back. Blood spurted all over the Goat Knight's silver armor. The blacksmith had made him a goat helemt with real goat horns. It covered his whole head and made him look more menacing than ever. Lorane gave a cry of pain and her eyes filled with tears.
   Raehera gave a glare to his mother and marched down the hallway, "Anna come with me," he demanded. Anna finished dressing, she had put on a white and blue dress. The top part was white and the bottom part was brown. She also had put on black heels. She followed her father, she had blood on her skin from where blood was being blasted around in her room.
   "I'm sorry about that sweet Anna, you'll get your payment for that, don't you worry," Raehera said angrily as he paced down the hallway. A red knot had build up on her face that reminded her of the Goat Knight
   "Today has not been the greatest day I know," he said and it was the truth. Yelen barged out a dining room. Raehera had smacked the Goat Knight in the hallway, her grandmother tried to forcefully put a tampion in her uterus, and now her room was filled with blood and the heads of maidens. She wasn't worrying about all of that though, she worried about William Black the fifth.
   "Is William gonna be okay?" asked Anna, "Yes, he told me everything. We're gonna build our army up for war sweet Anna. You'll be sent to Valeen with the entirety of the family except for Righara, his sons, Hall, me, and the three of the eldest Gillen brothers all after Lyanna's wedding," answered Raehera.
   "What's wrong?" asked Anna. "A house known as Tether is building up an army bigger than all the armies in all of Esternia, the house's king is named Avalon Tether, he doesn't own a castle, so he moves his army around the continet. He calls it the Moving Kingdom, they're strong Anna. We need to make peace with Mark Gandar and team up to take down this house of Tether. They've already taken Red Vail and are marching for Yorencraw. They had done put Daren Gandar in a coma and his bastard is making his way to warn Yorencraw the word says," said Raehera.
   Anna was filled with fear, the Moving Kingdom sounds dangerous to her. Once again the same anxious feeling filled her chest, it came along with paranoia.
   "If Gandar has any sense, he'll become our ally during the war upon us," said Raehera. He was right, but Anna knew it would never happen without a certain price. "He'll want his brother Tontly back and possibly Yoren Kindle," said Anna. Raehera stopped pacing down the hall and gave Anna a look of shock. "Woah," he begin, "You're right Anna. I am amazed too, I didn't even think of that, nor would my council. Maybe after the war I can replace my mother with you sweet Anna," said Raehera, "Or maybe I'll need you during the war," said Raehera.
   Anna didn't want to be a hostage during war, but she would love to help her father out, "Anna will you help me during this upcoming war?" asked Raehera staring into his daughter's eyes.
   Anna gave a sweet smile to him, "Under one condition," said Anna. She wanted her brother John on the council, he was smart and will be able to help out a lot, "I know you don't approve of John much, but he would be a great help. He reads and studies a lot. Imagine his help at your council father," Anna said. Raehera gave a moment if consideration, "Anna you are smart," he begin, "Great idea, he'll have a seat at the council table next to you sweet Anna. My children at my council table. Helping me in war. It's like my dreams," said Raehera gleefully.
   Anna smiled as Raehera brushed her hair behind Anna's ear, they hugged and looked at each other, "Now let's get you cleaned up sweet Anna," said Raehera.
