Chapter 15

Darkness Fell Over The Land Of Fresia As Rodrigo, Lexy, Chloe And Geneva Reached There Destination. They Landed On A Hill, Overlooking A Magnificent City, The Capital City Of Fresia. Rodrigo Looked On. "We Must Go To The King. His Palace Is At The City's Center." Lexy Nodded. "Yes, I See It. My, What A Beautiful City." Rodrigo Smiled In Agreement. "Yes, And Hopefully The Taurens Won't Touch It." Rodrigo Turned To Chloe. "Doe, Can You Watch Our Bird While We See The King?" Chloe Sighed And Shook Her Head. "Yes Rodrigo. I Will." Rodrigo Smiled As He Picked Up A Bag And The Sword. "Come Lexy, Let Us Go Now." Chloe Frowned. "Do Be Careful, My Friends." Rodrigo Looked At Chloe. "We Shall Friend. We Shall Be Back Soon, We Promise." Lexy Took Her Husbands Hand. The Two Began Walking Toward The City. Chloe Frowned Sadly At The Sight. "I Hope They Will Learn To Love Me As Well." Geneva Nudged Chloe Gently At The Doe. She Patted Her Large Beak.

Rodrigo And Lexy Walk Swiftly Down The Streets Of The Fresian City. The Inhabitants Were Horses As Well, But They Were Large, Dark Colored, And Very Strong Compared To The Smaller Palomino Visitors. Some Of The Fresians Turned There Heads In Curiousity As The Spanish Couple Rushed Through The Streets. Some Of Them Had Hair Long Enough To Cover There Eyes. Lexy Held Rodrigo's Arm Tightly. They Past Through The Busy Streets And Markets Without Incident, Reaching The Pathway To The Palace. There Was A Gate, And It Was Heavily Gaurded By Large Fresian Stallions. The Couple Walked Up To The Gate Nervously. The Gaurds Raised Eyebrows At The Strange Colored Horses. "Halt! What Business To You Have With The King?" Rodrigo Inhaled Deeply. "We Have Been Sent By Saren, The Governer Of Aragon. Our Enemies, The Taurens, Have Begun Advances On Our Lands. We Have Come To Ask His Highness For Help. The Gaurd Nicked. "Spain, Huh? That Explains Your Accent, And Your Color. What Is Your Name, Boy?" Rodrigo Help Lexy's Arm. "Rodrigo, Son Of Saren." The Gaurd Turned To Lexy. "And You, My Dear Child?" Lexy Looked Up. "Lexy, Daughter Of Rivera." The Gaurd Smiled. "What A Beautiful Creature You Are. Bless Your Husband For Winning Your Heart." Lexy Smiled. "Thank You Sir." The Gaurd Smiled Back As He Unlocked The Gate And Opened It. "Welcome To Fresia." Rodrigo Smiled. "Many Thanks, Good Sir."

Rodrigo And His Young Wife Walked Up A Winding Road To The Palace Entrance. A Storm Was Present, And It Began To Rain Heavily. The Couple Was Drenched By The Time They Reached The Door Of The Palace. Rodrigo Gave Three Loud Knocks. The Door Was Opened By A Servent. Who Ushered The Couple In. The Servent Closed The Door. "I Will Get Her Majasty For You." The Servent Then Quickly Ran Off. Lexy Shivered From The Rain. Rodrigo Opened His Bag And Pulled Out A Blanket, Quickly Covering Lexy With It. "Oh My Dear, Thank You For Coming With Me." Lexy Smiled. "I Was Happy To, My Love." A Group Of Maidens And Servents Came Out Leading A Young Queen Out To The Spanish Vistors. They Stopped In Front Of Rodrigo And Lexy. The Queen Looked At Rodrigo With Curiosity. "Rodrigo, Son Of Saren, King Of Aragon, I Presume?" Rodrigo Shook His Head. "I Am No King, My Lady." The Black Queen Walked Slowly To Rodrigo's Side. "Your Weapon Says Otherwise." She Lifted Rodrigo's Cloak, Revealing The Powerful Sword. Some Of The Servents Gasped. The Queen Let Rodrigo's Cloak Down. "The Prophecy Is True Then. Time Of Redemption Is Among Us.......Why Have You Come, Rodrigo?" Rodirgo Sighed "To Ask The Aid Of His Majasty, Ageanst The Taurens. They Are Begining A Conquest Of All Surrounding Kingdoms, Including Yours. If You Do Not Help, All Of Us Will Be Doomed. The Queen Sighed, Knowing The Events Described In The Prophecy Was Happening. Rodrigo Looked At The Queen. "What Is Your Name, My Lady?" The Queen Turned. "Eowyn, Daughter Of Ezra, King Of Fresia." Rodrigo Looked Around. "Can You Take Us To His Majasty?" Eowyn Shook Her Head. "My Husband Is Busy Tonight. He Shall See Nobody At This Hour, Not Even Me." Lexy Shivered Again, Eowyn Turning To The Couple, Noticing They Are Dripping Wet From The Rain. Eowyn Sighed. "I See You Are Not Use To Our Climate. You Shall Sleep Here Tonight. You Shall See The King Tomarrow. Rodirgo Shook His Head. "Please, My lady, Do Not Waste Your ReSources On Outsiders Like Us. It Wouldn't Be...The Queen Interrupted. "Nonsense, My Friends. I Am Honored To Accomadate The Future King And Queen." Eowyn Snapped Her Fingers, And Her Servents And Maids Came Forward. "Give There Two A Warm Bath, And Fresh Clothing. The Serevnts And Maids Bowed, And Lead The Spaniards Away.

The Maids Giggled And Laughed As They Cleaned Rodrigo. A Few Blushed When He Looked Up To Them. "So, Your From Spain? You Don't Say! The Maids Giggled More. A Maid Spoke Up. "I Have A Cousin From Spain." The Others Gasped. "You Do Not!" They Broke Into Laughter As They Warped A Towel Around Rodrigo. "I Call To Dress Him! No, I Did! You Dressed Him Last Time!" Rodirgo Smiled As The Maids Tended To Him. "You Ladies Are Awfully Happy, Aren't You?" The Maids Smiled. "Yes, We Love Our Job Very Much." They Giggled. "And Because Your An Adorable Young Man!" They Dressed Rodrigo And Took Him To A Bedroom Where Lexy Was Waiting. Rodrigo Turned To The Maids. "Thank You Ladies." He Smiled. The Maids Blushed As He Walked Into The Room And Closed The Door. The Maids Sighed. "He Looked At Me. NO! He Looked At ME! NO HE DID NOT!" The Maids Laughter Became Quieter As They Walked Away.
Lexy Had Already Fallen Asleep When Rodirgo Slipped Under The Covers. He Smiled At Lexy And Gently Kissed Her Cheek. "I Love You, My Dear." Lexy Smiled A Bit, And Sighed. Rodrigo Took The Candle Next To The Bed, And Blew It Out.
