Owning You
The sun was high up in the sky and blazing down but the weather had gotten chilly. Winter was coming, they could feel that in the air.
Iris and Ryder sat on their horses and stood side to side, neither of them saying a word to the other, or planning to. They waited for Xanth and Lyra so they could be on their way towards the Eldham border where Ryder had planned to cross into Rocheveron after he must have settled the issue of land dispute, and he would settle it his own way.
Xanth approached Ryder, Lyra walked close to his side, she had her head down, not to the ground but she didn’t look up to meet Ryder’s gaze. Both her hands had been bandaged and by the pained look on her face, anyone could tell that the pain from her burned hands still stung something painful.
“Could we delay for a day or two?” Xanth asked Ryder as he walked up to him, patting his horse’s head. Ryder frown and looked down at him.
“Why?”

They had been on the road for two days.And for two days she had been riding with Ryder as per his order, and not that she did not find it quite comfortable because then her hands could rest from pulling on the horse’s reins, but being so close to him. Being that close to him. For the two days they had spent on the road, Ryder had been beside her at all times, changing and dressing her injured hands with a frown on his face always, and even the simple task of feeding which she could do herself without much needing to stress her hands, she was not allowed to. Ryder would not allow her to.His behavior towards her confused her and for the first day she tried hard to adjust to his new attitude, but with the death stares Iris shot at her at every given opportunity, she knew better than to get too comfortable with Ryder’s behaviour. Xanth on the other hand was indifferent and he didn’t see anything quite wrong with what Ryder was doing or how he was behaving.
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth Commander Dimian
It was utmost and total chaos.The wind had picked up fast and drastically, and accompanied by the encroaching darkness signifying that night time was near, it seemed like a god had been finally let off his chains after years of wrongly suffering and coming for vengeance. And it came in all its might for the Rocheveron army camp.The energy surrounding him was as black as the night, and as thick as ink. It swam in the air around him and moved as he did, dispersing dark shadows of himself per second. They had only one purpose here, and that was to bring destruction and death to the camp of the enemy in whose side of the line Ryder now stood. But he knew what he was doing, he was not blinded with the power he wielded, nor did he allow the necessity of crossing into Rocheveron overwhelm his control.He was not totally about destroying the camp, but to instill just the right amount of fear and a bit more so that he would be taken seriously without having to repeat his wor
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth Rocheveron
The doors were gradually shut behind them, muffling the partying sounds of moans and orgy noises. The woman who had introduced herself as Lynorr, Queen of Rocheveron stood before them, giving her best “stay calm and everything will be alright” kind of smile. And although they could guess that she was in her middle age, she was still much too young to be married to that… man. The drunk and orgy party excited king of Rocheveron. Of all the welcomes Ryder had had to face and deal with, this was the most unexpected, and to think that this was the kingdom disturbing his border at Eldham.He had gone to meet with the king Duras Krinn of Rocheveron, accompanied only by the queen not too long ago while Dimian stayed with Iris, Xanth and Lyra behind the door and away from the banquet hall. He was more than displeased and he did not try at all to hide it and when the drunk king had tried to make bum drink the wine from his goblet in his merry, Ryder had pushed aside th
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth What You Are
It felt good to finally be at a place, indoors, away from the sun and not having to ride on the same horse with Ryder. He was seemingly protective of her. Maybe a bit too protective, and that worried her because she never could tell when he would switch and return to his normal self of not caring about anyone but himself. She sighed and took in as much air as her lungs could allow, and she smiled. It was the first time she had been in Rocheveron, she had never gone too far from Dragonsbane. Heck, she had never gone too far from the castle in Dragonsbane, so a part of her was actually happy that she could be free in a way and go on adventures, but she had been kidnapped and even her kidnappers protected her like her family had done but they did not restrict her as much. There was a sudden light knock on the door and Lyra turned away from the balcony and stepped back into the room. “Who is it? She asked. “Come in.” The door was opened and a servant girl w
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth Eavesdropping And Affairs
“What are you up to, Dimian?”He smiled at her as he walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. “Isn’t it too early for you to come to me, my queen?”She threw her legs off the bed but did not get up, she crossed her legs and placed both hands on the bed behind her to support her body leaning back, she had her attention on him. “What were you thinking bringing the Lord of Astaroth to Rocheveron.”He walked to the dresser and began taking off his clothes, looking at Lynorr through the large mirror. “Somehow, it could not be helped, he totally destroyed us at the border and he wants to cross, he intends on going past Rocheveron.”She picked up interest and leaned forward. “Past Rocheveron? But there is only the Oerth forest and beyond that is that kingdom of the abnormal.”Dimian turned to her, having taken off all his clothes and standing stark naked now, he walked to her and stood bef
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth Being Cautious
How long do you plan on staying here?” Iris asked, although they had only gotten here just this morning, she was already eager to leave this place and hit the road to continue on their journey.Ryder frowned. It was high noon and the sun was blazing down on them. They stood on the other side of the fence where the horses were set free to roam, with Ryder gently petting his midnight black horse. He looked back towards the castle and let out a breath.“A day or two. We would be needing food and supplies and a guide to take us from the capital to the edge of the forest.” He replied her.“Or we could just head down to the Tajon river,” She shrugged her shoulders. “The forest is right at the edge of the river.”Ryder shook his head at her suggestion, yes they could do that but he wanted them to stay just a little longer. Something seemed off with the Rocheveron royals and it was more than just the affair the queen was having w
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth King Of Rocheveron
The dinning room was not in any way a better condition than the banquet hall, except for the fact that it was void of most people, it still reeked of alcohol and the stench of sweat.Ryder frowned, his expression was tight and he walked with an air of authority, higher than that of the king of Rocheveron whose kingdom he was now in, but then what authority could this king even posses? He was a drunk and a party lover, totally clueless of his kingdom’s external affairs and most definitely clueless of its internal affairs as well. His gaze shifted to the queen seated beside him and he wondered how it could be that a beauty like that could have allowed herself get married to a man older than her by that much years.But then to be fair, he was a being above four hundred years old, trying to make a fifty six year old Khione girl fall in love with him. He sighed and let go of the thought, everyone had their reasons for doing things, maybe it was for the power or the wealth
Ryder; Lord of Astaroth Disturbing Visions
The lunch was over for him when Duras agreed for his request for more supplies and a guide to be provided for them, he only lingered a while because he wanted to see just how desperate and how far Lynorr could go in trying to match her daughter with him, but it was no fun because the girl was too damn shy and quiet and she only spoke when her mother kind of permitted her to.“Go on, Rei, tell him what you like to do for fun.”“Rei, won’t you tell him how old you are?”“Rei is a beautiful singer, isn’t that right Rei?”He sighed and shoved his hands int his pockets as he walked away from the castle to where he had been before Dimian had come to find him. Iris and Xanth were still there, and it seemed like they were both very bored. There was almost nothing to do here since this was not their kingdom and neither was it their castle but they were allowed to roam around freely. It was kind of inevitable not to feel bore
