Ella straightened herself up and proceeded to follow him
"What is it you would like to discuss?"
she looked behind her noticing the group was gone
"Are they?"
she looked at the king wondering if he has killed them

Mathuriel rolled out of the pile and sat, staring blankly at the wall of the sty, in a pile of manure.
"How could she... how... h...how could she...?" was all he could manage.

The king smiled, and clicked his fingers.
"I was true to my word, you know. They are all alive, as you requested."
Behind Ella there came a great hulking tentacle monster. The tentacles oozed white viscous goo, and the king's smile became a smirk.
"And I need to talk with you about your... erm... change of heart."
And then the tentacles descended, picking Ella up off the floor and starting to probe her, even underneath her clothes.
"Now, why did you betray them?"

OOT: 1) Nothing's gonna happen, I'm just doing this to show how the king is a really evil bastard
and 2) WE'VE ALL SEEN ENOUGH HENTAI TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING!!

OOT your horrible


Ella didnt struggle against the tentacles. She knew that if she would it would give him more reason to be suspicious
"I told you, I want to become your queen"
she looked at the tentacles that held her up
"I gained their trust cause I needed their help to get into the castle"
she looked at him
"After all i couldn't have done it all by my self. You are after all a powerful king. Don't you want more power at your side helping rule this world. I've seen the great things you have done, How well you take control of villages, how well you control the people. I want to help you"
she looked back at the tentacles
"Now could you please put me down?"

Valeria pulled her bamboo umbrella from the pig, and tapped it on the head with the umbrella. "No." She said sternly to the beast. "Not for little piggies." She looked at the umbrella, noting that the pig had eaten some of the paper, and broken a few of its umbrella supports. 'Looks like I have to get this fixed...again..' She sighed heavily, then looked at Zenith. "I'm fine...but...I suspect the rest of you are shocked...to say the least."

Elyan looks over to Zenith.
"Thanks, much appreciated."
He then turned over to Mathuriel.
"It might be hard to believe, but it happened. Do you have the will to keep going? We might end up having to fight her, you know. You need to make a choice. I'm going to do whatever it takes to dethrone the king...you need to decide if you can do the same."
He glances towards Valeria.
"It is shocking, yes...but we still have to do what must be done."

Mathuriel's eyes slowly cleared, and he nodded grimly.
"Yeah. Sure. Ok, I'll kill her."

"Then why did you kill all my men who were sent to come get you?" the king asked, watching with perverse glee as the tentacles slid around her body.
"Seems very odd for someone who was waiting to ally with me. Also, I can't control that creature - if you want to get down, you have to prove you can make it put you down. I warn you," he said evilly as a tentacle started poking at her lips, "it gets very grabby..."

"How else was I to gain the groups trust?"
she moved her head away from the tentacle that was poking at her mouth
"I had to kill a few of your men to prove to them that I was against you in order for them to side with me to help me get here"
she started to struggle slightly against the tentacle since they were starting to get uncomfortable. She looked at the king once more
"What do I need to do it to you?"

Ella was silent for a moment
"If thats what you want then fine"
Her eyes started to glow, small bolts of lightning started to form around her and her and her body 'i'm sorry' was the thought that went through her head as she sent the electrical pulses into the tentacles. She hated the fact that she had to kill an innocent creature but in order for her plan to work she had to do what she needed

Ella gave the monster a sorrowful look. She mouth the words 'im sorry' before closing her eyes and stabbed the tentacle monster. She then turned and looked at the king with the monsters blood on her hands
"Is that enough proof?"

Ella looked down at her blood stained hands
"I would like to wash up if you don't mind. A queen shouldn't go around with blood all over her hands"
she looked up at the king
"Where is a place i could bathe. After sleeping several nights outdoors it would be nice to actually get cleaned up properly"



Allora got up and brushed the mess off of her, or what she could
"well i dont know about you guys but i would like to get cleaned up. I think after that we should talk tactic for another attack. It seems we will have to work extra hard this time"
spirit did what any wolf would do and shook the mess off of him. Spirit was smart enough to fly off before they hit the ground. He sat perched on the fence post

Elyan looked over towards the castle, which was fairly close from where they were. His frustration was showing clearly on his face. After they had gone through so much, they were swatted away like flies by the same man they were determined to kill. He turned towards Allora and replied.
"I can't help but agree. We'll have to reconsider our strategy...it looks like a direct assault just isn't an option."
He looked around to see who was there.
"Did all of us at least end up in the same place?"

Valeria held her damaged umbrella in her hands. "Does the king ever travel anywhere....like say...by carriage?" She asked, wondering if anyone knew such information.

The king clicked his fingers and Ella was suddenly naked and in a hot spring.
"Is this to your liking?"

Mathuriel got up on shaky legs.
"We were all too grouped up, and we didn't really give him too much to deal with," he said angrily, kicking the nearest trough.
"My fault, I shouldn't have just warped us in like that... though now we know Ella's true colors anyway..." He looked deeply unhappy.

Ellas natural instinct kicked in and she quickly covered herself
"Um, yes..thank you"
her face reddened from suddenly being naked in front of the king, this angered her as well as embarrassed her
"Could I have a bit of privacy, just to relax"

Valeria looked at each of the faces...she had not been with them very long to be as deeply affected by Ella's betrayal as they were...she looked down at the ground, not knowing what to say.

Elyan walked up to Valeria to talk to her in private.
"Got a second?"
He looked around to make sure that nobody else was paying attention.
"So, as you might have guessed, Ella's betrayal hit a lot of us pretty hard. I'd be lying if I said that it didn't cut me pretty deep, too. But...well..."
He took a second, trying to find the right words to say.
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to finish what we set out to do. I think that Mathuriel is with me on that, as well. But if he chokes when it comes down to it, and if something bad happens to me...I want you to finish the job. I'm asking you specifically because you didn't know her like we did. So, can you do it? Can you kill her along with the king to end this forever?"

Valeria looked Elyan in the eyes, and nodded her head. "I can." She replied in a soft tone, noting that he was making sure that no one can hear the two of them talking. "I know I didn't know her as well as the rest of you...so I really don't know if I should say anything about what happened."

Mathuriel sighed.
"Well, first thing we need to do is pick ourselves up and get ourselves washed. There's a river nearby, I saw it from the hill. Come on." He started walking.

The king stripped down as well, except for his face which he kept obscured with shadow, like a veil.
Then he entered the bath with her.
"A queen should never keep anything private from her king," he chided. "Now, speaking of relaxing... didn't I kill your adopted family once? As well as some boy you had a crush on?" He laughed. "Wouldn't he be turning in his grave if he could see you now?"

Ella turned her head quickly when he started stripping and then entered the water. she moved to the far side of the spring and settled. She moved her knees up to her chest to cover herself.
"I'm not your queen just yet"
she kept her eyes on the water moving her fingers around the top of it. As he spoke about her love anger and pain set in but she fought it back the anger. she closed her eyes for a moment remembering the day it all happened. A moment later she opened her eyes
"It's all in the past now and one cannot change the past. There is no point in fighting against you or holding onto what you have done to me in the past, whats done is done."
she looked up at him
"So I've decided to join you and become your queen"

Ella looked up at him
"How soo do you plan to have these heirs?"
she closed her eyes when he spoke of her former love
"He would probably hate me but he is dead now"
she looked up at him again tightening her grip around her legs as he looked her up and down
"But before we start talking about heirs and bedding me don't i have to be your queen first. There is not problem with three heirs but.."
she twirled her fingers around the water some more
"I'm a bit old fashioned, I believe in marriage before taking one to bed"
