*the ring is so heavy her hand actually drops under its weight*


*Paul crushes her to him and kisses her again and again*

*Lil turns over in the bed and finds herself alone. She stretches and sees the ring with its huge diamond is fitting snuggly to her finger*

It really happened.. He DID propose to me! </>

*She blushes and pulls his pillow to her face so she can feel closer to him*

"Come on Lil!!.. Get yourself showered and dresses.. the awaits us!!"

*She can here is voice.. but cannot see him*..


Paul!!.. Hang on, wait for me!!..

*She dives from the bed and into the shower..when she returns her best gown is lying on the bed along with all her accessories*

He thinks of everything </>

"I know" *Paul stands behind her and kisses her neck*.. "Now get ready"

*He playfully slaps her backside as he leaves the room*



~~~~


*Lil leaves the room wearing her burgundy evening gown. Her dark hair is falling about her shoulders and she is glowing!*

*Fenrir strides up to the door of the quarters and knocks. there is no answer so he takes parchment and a quill and leaves a message pinned to the door. it reads:

My lord and king,
Something has come up, something serious. as you are not here i cannot talk more to you about this matter but neither can i wait becuase this is URGENT. hopefully you can forgive me for leaving so abruptly and in my absence i appoint sir big steve to become head of the knights until my return.

signed in haste

Fenrir

*jogs down to the grounds*

Oh. Black Leopards gone off again. It must be drastic because I have charge. I'll have a word with King Paul when I see him.

***********************************************************************
*The king makes preperations for his perilous journey around the other world, to encounter fears, and things, only he knows of, and only he will ever know of. He dissapears with each bag, dropping it off at one of the hut near "Village 1", with "Gregory" one of the only survivors, of a once noble colonising force. Most of which died of dimensional poisoning after spending more than a week in the dimension.

Only 10 of Earth origin have ever been able to survive in the Dimension for long periods of time. 4 of which went through and live in village one as they cannot return.

One can travel back and forth but cannot venture past village one and hides his 1/3 Royal identity from all but the King, because of curses placed years before, which killed all but 2 members of an almost extinct Royal line. For flaunting the gifts of the dimension.

And another, whom not even himself, or the king knows of his 1/3 Royal Identity.

The Lady lil who shares a father from the same line and a mother from another royal line which ruled the dimention before...

Only the king can travel past the village, only the king has to travel past their, and less than a week he will leave for a long journey taking him in dimension time 10 years but in Earth time 1 month. The king puts three golden pistols in a resite gold case with hundreds of bullets and quickly hides them as a servant comes in*

You called for me your e.e .e... exelency... *He bows*

King: Ah yes george, come here I have to send you back again, now come on george, you may not me as Royal blooded as me, but theres no need to get with the your Excelencies and all that. Now I want you to meet up with Gregory and give him this, it is pure restite gold and it is laced with restilia, because of this it has to be taken manually through the dimension. I will teleport you back when you get there.

*The king dissapears and reappears again with george*

Did you get it to him safely.

George: Yes Paol, and he asked me to give you this.

*George held up a suit, very regal , and quite clearly hand stitched by the most talented restite tailors. The suit made of the unusually Untouchable (Bullet proof, inflamable, but very flexible) Restisme fabric made only in the dimension and very, very hard to find the right plants and make. And lined with restite gold.*

King: Its a shame I can't teleport at all in this thing for more than a few miles.

You can go friend, return to your home in village one I will see you soon.

*The king dissapears briefly with the suit and then reappears, enters the room with all the Screens sees, lil happy with his subjects. he moves on into the music room. Picks up a custom made restite guitar from the normal and begins to play a beautiful progression of notes on the guitar and sings the kings ballad followed by the restite national anthem.*

It takes a lot to say
I am your ruler
It takes a lot to say
I am your King
I feel it is you that leads me
I feel it is you that gives me strength

I feel those skies they are blue
all because of you
There are stars in the sky
There is life in me to say
You are the reason for all this

I feel i have so much to know
just to be on your shores
just to walk on your paths
just to look at your people



Restite, Restite, I am forever grateful
You gave me a morning
You gave me a night
Restite, Restite, I am nothing without you
You are all that is peace,
In this world of destruction
You are all that is right
you give hope to every other

Restite, Restite,

I am so glad

To be born, on your shores,
To live with you,
to breathe your air.
Restite, Restite, Restite.

*The king continues playing as tears run down his face. *

the king leaves his quarters with one small bag and sees lil walking down the corridor towards him.* Lil, I must go now, I really cant wait
it will be a week of your time until i get to Village one. And you can watch my movements in the secret room in my quarters, noone else is to know of the room. Ok.

But.. I .. I thought we still had a little more time together.. *tears well and stream down her face*

Why do you need to go early? *looks into his eyes before the tears stop her from seeing the deep, deep blue that makes her lose herself to him*

*He kisses her softly* I love you lil, but i have to go, *he turns so she doesnt see the tears.* Come with me to the dimension gates

*holds his hand tightly and follows quietly*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Lil enters the Kings Quarters and walks in a dreamlike state into his bedroom.. and lies there crying... until there are no more tears left*


*She clutches at his sheets.. and sees her engagement ring.. Suddenly she remembers something!!.. *


*She walks into the other room... and .. looks at the wall*

What did he do????


*She pushes a panel.. the wall slides back.. she enters the room with all the television screens*


*She sees Paul on the hillside.. and she reaches out to the screen as though to touch him*


.. .... Take care my darling.. </>.. *she sobs quietly*

george enters* miss lllll lil here is a note. *george dissapeared out the door* * The not read, Lil I Love You I will be Fine. If there is a problem george will come and tell you. Love Paol

*She opens the door and walks back into the Kings living room*


*She hears the outer door closing and finds the note on the table near the door*


*She reads it..*.. Paul.. Oh God.. I love you!!..

*she frowns as she reads on*... George?? .. Oh.. he must have left this here.. !!

*Lil opens the door and glances down the corridor.. it is empty*..

*With a heavy heart, she sighs .. turning back into the kings living room.. she curls up on the couch and reads Paul's note once again*

*sigh*

I suppose I had better find out how this kingdom is run....


*straightens the note. Reads it once more, then places it in the drawer of Paul's desk*

*She looks around the room to ensure that there is no clue to the hidden room, then leaves closing the door quietly behind her*


*She makes her way towards her own rooms*

King Paul,Lil come quickly. Where are you?



King Paul are you there?

~~~~~~~

*Lil slowly opens the door almost expecting Paul to be sitting on the couch*


*She holds a helping hand out to Ben*..

We are here now.. come in and rest before you go further

*She leads him to the couch*

thank you *he smiles and sits down on the couch* it seems so different in here.

Does it? *looks about the room*

I wasn't aware you have been here before.. but as the King's Falconer you might have been.. I never thought of that.. *smiles*

it does, i was only here in the sense that i saw through the door. i think im ready to shower now *smiles*

I will just run the water for you.. and get the towels.. perhaps I can find something of the Kings' you can wear.. *giggles*.. we can't have the servants catching you half undressed..

*he looks down at his hospital gown*

that would be wonderfull, *looks embarassed and tries to cover himself up a bit* sorry about that
