You are Randal Tallstag, a young lord of House Tallstag, one of the great five noble houses of the kingdom of Whitestar. There has been much trouble in Whitestar the past few years and your house has fallen greatly because of it. Barbarians from the far North have invaded your kingdom and stolen much of its land, nearly wiping out your entire noble house save for you and a few others in your family, namely your father and your uncle and his family.

Your house along with the other great houses, have been called to the capital of Whitestar, the city of Snowhaven. This great city is where the king resides with his family, the Frostclaws. Winter is approaching and it will be your 18th one, you are finally coming of age and will attending the Will of Ice ceremony as all nobles who come of age do.

The King begins his speech, “Lords and ladies of the Kingdom of Whitestar, I welcome you here tonight. It is a great honor to have you in attendance of one of Whitestar’s most important ceremonies, the Will of Ice Coming of Age Ceremony for the noble houses. As you know, over 1,000 years ago, our ancestors founded this great kingdom, but not with out the help of the great shamanistic cryomancers, who called themselves The Speakers of the Ice. They carried out the will of this enchanted ice, which was forged and sent by the Three, the Gods of men, in ancient times to our realm. This ice had special properties, the most important of all of them was sentience and an unbreakable will. With this God forged ice, mankind was freed from the slavery of elves, and many kingdoms of men arose. In time however, they abandoned the ways and the Will of the Ice, all but one. A small city state of men located in the North,” the King looks out to the crowd and smiles, all of the attending nobles smile as well. Many knew the old tales of how the Kingdom of Whitestar came to be.

King Frostclaw continues his speech. “The Speakers of the Ice came to see the leader of this city state, who had kept the Will of the Ice as his own. They found a noble man, by the name of Jeor Frostclaw. They offered their services to him, and thus the Kingdom of Whitestar was founded.”

The King goes on to describe how the coming of age ceremony for the nobles came to be. How it was used to bolster the ranks of the kingdom’s elite diplomats, military leaders, and the like. How the mere city state used this to conquer other lands and establish peace throughout them., becoming a kingdom in the process.

The King then begins describing the ceremony to the crowd “Now before we begin, you young lords and ladies that are about to partake should listen well. We have with us a Speaker of the Ice with us, he holds in his hand a box that contains a ceremonial shard of Everice, you will touch it and go into a trance. What you see and do in this trance varies from person to person, but all agree that it helps you in the selection that follows. After this trance is completed you choose a important role in the kingdom. These choices are as follows: the King’s Guard, the King’s Rangers, Lord or Lady Diplomat, Lord or Lady Councillor, and lastly Speaker of the Ice, however, only a noble from one of the five great houses can fill the slots of King’s Guard or King’s Ranger as it was established at the founding of our kingdom. Now that all is said, let the ceremony begin!”

The lords and ladies in attendance begin to cheer and applaud, as do you. You feel nervous and excited at the same time. You know that your life will be changed after this. In the back of your mind, you remember what The Stranger said, that he urged you to join the King’s Rangers, so that things would begin to fall into place to prevent the kingdom of falling. You still don’t really understand but you somehow trust that man, but why are you so important? How do you fit in? After all you are just one man. As you are thinking of all this the Tyrel notices you not paying attention and nudges you, snapping you back to attention.

“Pssst. Hey, pay attention he’s about to ask for volunteers to go first.”

“Oh, sorry” you whisper.

“Now then do we have any volunteers to go first? Anyone?” the King asks. You look around, no one has stepped forward yet. You figure you could go first or wait, after all, you are pretty nervous.

You decide you might as well volunteer to go first. You step forward from the crowd towards the stage. All eyes turn to you, as do the King’s. He cracks a smile, you turn back to see Trista, Tyrel, and your father smiling as well.

“Ah, Lord Randal Tallstag, how very brave of you to volunteer to go first. Please come up on the stage,” the King beckons.

You oblige him and walk up onto the stage. As you do you shift your attention from the King to The Speaker of the Ice, you notice he looks very old and wise, but there is also something else about him, something odd, its almost as if cold air is radiating from him and his skin has the slightest pale blue tinge to it. The king instructs you to kneel before The Speaker, snapping you back to attention. As you kneel, The Speaker opens the box containing the shard of Everice, sending out bright rays of blue and white light from it. The shard looks to be cut in the shape of a diamond and is as blue as a sapphire, you can feel an immense amount of magic flowing from it.
>>
>>39566803
“Now, Lord Tallstag, you may touch the shard.” the King instructs.

You do so, and instantly you feel a rush of coldness throughout your entire body. Its colder than anything you have ever felt before, but its strange, you don’t feel any pain along with it. Suddenly you black out, and you wake up in a massive cave. You look around and see a glowing blue light deeper in the cave. You breathe and cold mist falls from your mouth and you hear your breathing echo throughout the cave. This place, whatever it is, is overflowing with magical power.

What do you do?

You decide to go investigate the blue glowing light, whatever this place is, you’ll probably find your answers there. You walk down further into the cave towards the light. Along the ways you notice runic carvings in the wall, you have no idea what they say but you do see images carved along with them. There are carvings of what looks like elves and men, with the elves put on thrones and the men in shackles, then further into the cave there are carvings of three large figures making something, a being of some sort, it looks like ice. Perhaps its a depiction of the Three Gods of men, Tor, Arieman, and Sindas and them forging the Ice being and them sending it to the realm to aid men in their freedom from the elves.

After walking further you can no longer make out the carvings on the wall as they are covered in ice, but that no longer has your attention. You finally reached the source of the blue light. Before you stands a mighty glacier of ice standing before you, but its not ordinary ice. The glacier looks like the shard of Everice you touched to get here, it looks like one large sapphire. Could this be the Being of Ice that your kingdom was helped by? Before you can marvel any further on what is in front of you a voice out of nowhere echos throughout the cave, not just one voice but many and in unison.

“Welcome Randal Tallstag, of house Tallstag, we have been waiting for you.” the voice says

How do you reply?

”I have no idea what is going on, but I assume you’re going to tell me, whatever you are.” you say loudly, your voice echoing.

“You are very astute Randal,” the voice says,”Yes we will tell you, as you know, you are in a trance like state, what you are experiencing now is not actually real, it is a vision. However, this cave and what you see before you are real, but it is lost to most of your kind even The Speakers, but there are a few who know of this place, they carry out and enforce our will.”

“Wait, you don’t mean The Stranger and the others that work with him? The Enforcers of Ice’s Will?”

“Yes, he revealed himself to you. He told you what is happening to your kingdom. That its very existance is at stake. He has done us a good service by reaching out to you. We hope you can do the same. He told you what you must do Randal, for he told you of our will. You are to join the King’s Rangers, and help save the kingdom, and restore it to its rightful place in the realm.”
>>
>>39568217
You remember what The Stranger told you, that if you joined the King’s Rangers, that events would fall into place that could lead to saving the kingdom. But why you? Why are you so damned important?

“Why you ask? Do not worry about such things right now, they will be revealed in time.” the voice commands.

Wait, did that, whatever this voice is, just read your mind? What the hell is going on?

“Yes we did read your mind, but you have bigger things to worry about than that. You must join the King’s Rangers, from there we will send word to you after some time to guide you on your journey. Now go!”

Before you can think or say anything else the trance ends and you look around you. Your back in the ballroom of the palace and everyone is watching you. The King notices you have awoken from your trance.

“Lord Tallstag, thank you for rejoining us. You have completed your trance now you must make your decision, will you become a member of the King’s Guard, King’s Rangers, a diplomat, a councillor, or a Speaker of the Ice?”

“I choose to join the King’s Rangers,” you declare to the crowd. Everyone begins applauding and King Frostclaw pats you on the back with a smile.

“Well chosen Lord Tallstag, I’m sure your father is proud with that decision, as are your friends and other family members. You are doing the kingdom a great service by joining the King’s Rangers,” he says proudly.

After that, you are dismissed from the stage as the King opens a scroll and begins calling up the other young lords and ladies by name. You walk over to the crowd and stand and watch as the others touch the Everice shard, go into a trance and make their decisions. You notice that when every one of them goes into a trance, that they just merely kneel in place and seem as if they are sleeping. After about 10-20 seconds they awake from the trance and look around, some of them seem dumbfounded, others seem calm. Most of the lesser lords and ladies choose to become council members and a few become diplomats, and only one young lord chooses to become a Speaker of the Ice.
>>
>>39569267
Trista and Tyrel both go up when they are called and do the same thing. After Trista awakes from her trance, she chooses to join the King’s Rangers, the same as you. Tyrel on the other hand,awakes and chooses to join the King’s Guard.
After that, the ceremony is finished and the King beckons everyone to go to the grand dining hall, where the feast is to be held. You, Trista, Tyrel, their father Lord Marcus Wolfsheild, their mother Lady Katherine Wolfsheild, and your father sit at the high table along with the King and his family. The lesser houses fill up the other tables in the grand dining hall.

The ceremony took three hours to finish, so by now you’re pretty hungry, and there are large platters of various foods before you to eat. Though now would be a good time to also get to know the royal family which includes Princess Lydia and Prince Erik, both of whom are around your age. You could also talk to Trista and Tyrel about their decisions at the ceremony.

You decide to talk to Trista and Tyrel about what they chose at the ceremony while you dine.

“So Trista, I saw you chose to join the King’s Rangers just like me. What made you want to do that?” you ask.

“Oh Randal, I thought you knew me better than that, I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps, and be a King’s Ranger like he was back in the day.”

“That makes sense, I always forget that Lord Wolfsheild was a member of the King’s Rangers.”

“Yes, and not only that but he was one of the best they had,” says Trista proudly.

“Hahaha yeah, sometimes I forget how much you idolize your father, but since you decided on the King’s Rangers I guess you’ll be joining along with me.”

“Well, one of us has to look after you,” chimes in Tyrel “Where would you be without me and my sister?”

“What are you talking about? You act as if I go looking for trouble.”

“You seem to have a bad habit of finding it. Like that time you stumbled on a bear den and the cubs along with it.” Trista says with a giggle.

“Oh please, I was eight and had a curious knack for adeventure!” you argue.

“Yeah but we were the ones who saved you,” Tyrel retorts.

“Fine you got me, but moving along, why did you join the King’s guard Tyrel?”

“Well, before the ceremony, I was certain I wanted to join the King’s Rangers, but during my trance, I was on a mountain top and felt so at peace with myself and the world around me. Then a voice whispered to me that I can achieve this peace if I joined the King’s Guard. I don’t know what about that voice convinced me, but it did and so here we are,” Tyrel states.
>>
>>39570230
You figure that sounds right for Tyrel, he always seemed like the man that would strive for peace. He was always good at taking control of situations, leading, and gaining the trust of his peers, and he didn’t speak as much as his sister, but his words carried far more weight. He would fit right in with the King’s Guard, you know that they act as much more than the body guards of the royal family, they carry out the King’s royal decrees and secret tasks when it proves to dangerous for diplomats or councillors, or if said councillors and diplomats can’t be trusted.

Trista and Tyrel go back to eating and chatting with the others at the table, you figure you could talk to Princess Lydia, Prince Erik, King Richard, or go out and mingle with the lords and ladies of the lesser houses.

You decide to talk to Princess Lydia, she is a beautiful young woman that many a man would fight for. Its not everyday that even a noble from a great house gets to speak with her, so you decide to engage her in conversation.

“Excuse me, Princess Frostclaw, but how are you enjoying this evening?” you ask politely and with a dash of charm.

“I am enjoying decently Lord Tallstag, though now it is much better. I was hoping you would speak with me,” she says with a smile.

By the Three, she is absolutely stunning, she’s even more gorgeous when she’s smiling. And she was hoping you would speak with her! Why would she have an interest in you?

“Oh really? I had no idea your grace, but why me, I am merely a young lord from House Tallstag,” you say with humility.

“There is no need to be humble Lord Tallstag, and please call me Lydia,” she says softly “Besides you are a lord from one of the five great noble houses, and a handsome one at that. Now I’d like to have a word with you in private.”

You nearly choke on your food. Did she just compliment your looks and ask to speak with you in private? What in the realm could she want to speak about?

What is your response?

Pretty much agree with your assessment.

Between the Stranger and also the Icyhot God warning us about the downfall of the Kingdom, it seems pretty likely that there's some kind of political betrayal in the works.

Randy Tallstag isn't about to let some royal tart pull the wool over his eyes, so let's be on our best behavior.

”Certainly, where is it you would like to speak?” you respond.

“Follow me Lord Tallstag, but first” she says turning her attention to the King “Father, I’m going to give Randal here a tour of the palace we will be back later.”

“Very well, do you require an escort?” He asks.

“No father, that won’t be neccessary, I trust Lord Tallstag will keep me safe,” she says turning to you, “won’t you Randal?”

“Why certainly, you can trust me to protect your daughter.”

“Then its settled let us go, I have much to show you and tell you,” says Lydia excitedly grabbing your hand.

She leads you out of the grand dining hall and into a corridor. You follow here up a stair case and down a long hallway. She checks to make sure no one else is around. Seeing the the hallway is empty she opens a door to a room and leads you into it, locking the door behind you. You look around the room and it appears to be a large study with a huge fire place and many shelves witth books crammed into them. There is plenty of chairs tables and even a couch to lounge on if one were to be a while in the room studying. You see Lydia going around the room locking the other two entrances.

“Why are you locking the doors Lydia? Isn’t this study private enough? I didn’t see anyone out in the hallway or on the stairs.”

“Do not be deceived Randal, there are many prying eyes with prying hands in this palace. Now then, I wanted to discuss some important matters with you. But before I do, can I count on you to trust me?”

>”Of course, as a citizen of Whitestar, its my duty to serve and trust you”

”Well I guess it depends on what it is, but yes I’ll trust you” you say.

“Hmmm yes, well you are wise to have a guarded trust of others Randal, but I am an ally, not an enemy,” says Lydia in a serious tone. “It is important to trust me, especially so since I know what you say in your trance.”

“Wait, what?” you say dumbfounded.

“Oh yes, I saw you commune with the Ice. I heard your conversation about the kingdom’s fate, and how the Ice wants you to save it.”
“But how? How is that even possible?”

“Well there is no simple way to explain it other than I was gifted by the Three with this ability. I can see visions and the visions of others, however it is very tiring and I can only do it very rarely. I have yet to master this gift.”

“I see, but why did you choose to see my vision?”

“I didn’t, like I said I don’t have mastery over my powers yet. But that is beside the point, I have a message from my father.”

“Your father? Well why can’t he tell me himself?”

“He has to keep appearances up, if he were to dissappear from the banquet, it would raise serious questions from our enemies. That is why I am here, after I told my father of what I saw in your vision, he wrote this letter and sealed it and asked me to give it to you,” she says pulling out a letter with the Frostclaw royal seal on it. She hands it to you.

“ Do not open it, it is for the Lord Commander of the King’s Rangers, you are to deliver it to him when you leave here in three days time for your training as a King’s Ranger.”

”So wait, how much exactly do you know about me?” you ask taking a seat on the couch in front of the fire, Lydia sits down next to you.

“I only know what I saw in my vision, but now that I think about it there was a vision I had about a month ago. In it there was a great antlered stag, it was on the tundra conversing with a strange man shrouded by ice, I could not make out what they were saying but in that same vision I saw our kingdom become great again. I assume the great antlered stag was you and the man shrouded in ice was this Stranger that was mentioned in your conversation with the Ice.”

“I see, that makes sense I guess. But what about these enemies you speak of? I know that since you and your father want the kingdom restored we can rule out the royal family, but who exactly are these enemies you speak of? Is there anything or anyone I should be specifically careful with?” you ask.

“I really wish I could tell you, but our enemies are cunning and smart. We don’t know exactly who they are but we know for a fact that there are many within the council. We have leads but nothing is certain. However the great noble house of Hornraven is under great scrutiny, their actions within the past 10 years have drawn my father’s suspicion.”
>>
>>39574963
For some reason that doesn’t surprise you, your family and the Hornravens have always been at odds. In fact you remember that it was the Hornravens that first presented the idea for a truce between the kingdom and the barbarians after they destroyed and took control of the entire northern kingdom. You remember your father being exceedingly angry with Lord Jon Hornraven, the head of house Hornraven, how he called him a lying snake and several other undesirable names.

“Also,” Lydia continues “I wish I could say that the whole of the royal family could be trusted, but that is not the case. Be careful of my brother Erik, he desperately craves power and will do anything to achieve it, and he has Lord Hornraven as his closest advisor. You would do well to leave him be for now.”


“I see, I’m very sorry to hear that.”

“It is alright, we have you now, I know that if the Ice trusts you, so can I and my father,” says Lydia grabbing your hand with a smile, “ in fact I trust you enough to ask you another question.”

“And what is that?”

“Well, my father always said that I should keep myself for the day that I met a man who would strive to do everything in his power to do what is best for the kingdom and the realm. A man that I can trust. A man that is honorable and good. I believe my vision thay I told you about is true, that you will restore the kingdom. So I have kept myself chaste, for the man that is you. Will you take me now Randal?”

”You honor me Lydia, and while I have the same feelings I cannot, but will you wait for me a little while longer?” You say slightly pushing her away. “Besides it would be dishonorable if I did not ask your father’s permission first.”

“I see, you are right, I let my emotions get the best of me. Please forgive me being so forthcoming with my emotions. It was un-ladylike of me.”

“Don’t worry my lady, it is alright. And to be quite honest...I must first prove my worth as a servant to this kingdom, I am not yet fully deserving of you.” you add.

“You honor me greatly Randal, you have my thanks and my word. I will wait for you a little while longer. Just promise me you will come back to me.”

“I promise I will,” you say with a smile.
“Good, but before we return to the banquet, could you at least give me a kiss?” She asks. Lydia’s face is illuminated by the fire, her blue eyes piercing into your own, and her raven colored hair shining. Her red lips are quivering in anticipation.

>"Why certainly my love” (Kiss her)
>”I’m sorry, but I’d like to wait on that offer as well. I want t experience all of your love at once when we meet again.” (Don’t kiss her)

“Sure, I don’t see why not.”

“Oh good,” she says with a sigh of relief, “ I was beginning to think you didn’t like me.”

“Haha now why would you think that? You’re a smart and beautiful woman who loves her kingdom, what is there not to like?”

“Really? I’m glad you think so, but enough talk, let us kiss.”

With that Lydia leans in to kiss you, and you do the same. Your lips meet and you feel a rush of emotion and warmth. Lydia puts her arms around you and you put your arm on her shoulder and caress her. You swear you haven’t felt anything like this before, but after all you haven’t been kissed before either. Your thoughts are interrupted by Lydia moving her tongue into your mouth. That’s weird, but it actually feels kind of nice. After a few more moments she releases her lips from yours and breathes heavily.

“I hoped you liked it.” She says taking another deep breath.

“I did, and that was amazing, especially what you did with your tongue.”

“Why thank you, one of my friends says she does that to her fiance all the time and that he loves it. So I thought I would give it a try,” she giggles.

“Well it is very nice,” you add.

“I’m glad you like it,” Lydia says, then she leans in closer to whisper in your ear, “There will be a lot more than that waiting for you when you get back.”

The uttering of those words leave you speechless. Lydia stands up from the couch and smiles. you rise up as well following her to the door, she unlocks it and steps out into the hallway.

“We had better return to the banquet, my father and the others are probably wondering where we are.”

“I agree we should go.”

With that, you and Lydia head back downstairs and into the grand dining hall. You both take your seats at the head table. Trista casts you an inquiring look.
“How did the tour go?”she asks. “You took a while, was everything alright?”

>”Yes, Lydia took me all over the palace, it was a lot bigger than I thought.”
>”Oh yes, I especially enjoyed the study, it was very comfortable.” (Subtly flirt with Lydia)

”Yeah sorry it took so long, I got caught up with the beauty of the place.” you say, giving Lydia a quick wink and smile. Lydia smiles back and you think you see her bite her lip.

Trista’s eyes narrow and she says “Oh, I see, well I’m glad you liked the tour.”

Trista follows the statement up with something mumbled under her breath, but she doesn’t seem very happy and is silent for the remainder of the evening.

Throughout the rest of the nice you have a good time of dining and speaking to many of the lords and ladies of Whitestar. You do keep your meeting with Lydia a secret. After a few hours you return to your estate with your father.

“So did you enjoy your evening Randal?” Your father says, stepping out of the carriage.

“ I did it was quite lovely.”

“Was it as lovely as the Princess’s company?” your father says without skipping a beat.

“What are you getting at old man?” you ask. You know your father to be a man who is known from time to time to have what some would consider uncouth talk. You’ve caught on to this over the years. So you figure you might as well not leave anything to the imagination with him, but you’ll still keep what was discussed a secret for now.

“Oh nothing, nothing at all” he chuckles.

“Look the only thing that happened was that we talked for a bit, and then we kissed, nothing more, noting less.”

“Ah I see, well I won’t badger you any further,” your father says as both of you enter the house. “But son, I am proud of you, not only are you joining the King’s Rangers, but it seems you’re off to a great start romantically with Princess Frostclaw.”

“Well thank you father, I’m honored to hear that I’ve done you proud.”
>>
>>39577932
“No son, I am the one that’s honored,” your father says as he sits down by the fireplace. “Now, you should head to bead, you must be tired after today. We’ll have to start making preparations tomorrow for you joining the King’s Rangers.”

Your father is right. You’re exhausted, you head upstairs to bed and fall asleep.

------------------------------------------
elsewhere
------------------------------------------

King Richard Frostclaw sits alone in his study, starring blankly into the fireplace. There is a knock at the door, the king suddenly snaps to attention.

“Come in,” he commands.

Princess Lydia appears as the door opens, she walks in towards her father, stopping at the edge of the couch.

“Father, I gave your letter Randal, as you commanded.”

“Good, I’m glad you did that for me. For once I’m glad to have good news, our enemies are closing in Lydia,” the king says turning back to stare in the fire.

“I know, but with the sudden revelation of Randal and his vision of the Ice, perhaps our kingdom go back to being the way it was before the barbarians invaded.”

“I can only hope so Lydia, for now we have the upper hand, and our enemies are none the wiser, but as Randal becomes more and more prominent, our enemies will take note of what heis doing, they will do everything in their power to kill him.”

“Yes, but I can tell he is a strong man, if anyone can do it its him, my visions are hardly ever wrong.”

“I know, that is why I want you to focus on developing your powers further, and report to me on each of your visions from now on.”

“Yes father, as you wish, is there anything else?”

“That is all, you may go.”

Lydia leaves the study, King Richard sighs and puts his head in his hands. He just put the future of his kingdom into the hands of a young noble boy. The king might have been a risk taker back in the day, but this puts all those to shame, however, if his bet was successful, he could see his kingdom restored again.

In the corner of the study a mouse stirred, it had listened to the entire conversation. With Lydia leaving the room the mouse took its leave as well, it scurried through the palace until it came to an out door patio, where it seemed to converse with a raven. After a few moments of speaking the raven flies off over the city. It lands at Hornraven manor and taps on the glass window of Lord Jon Hornravens study. Lord Hornraven looks up from the parchment he is writing on and smiles.
>>
>>39577970
You wake up feeling refreshed and think back on what happened last night. You think to yourself that you haven’t had such a wonderful evening in a long time. You get dressed for the day, and keep the note from Lydia on your person, better safe than sorry. You head downstairs to find your father missing from the table. In the spot where he normally sits there is a letter. It says that he has gone out for the day to run various tasks and errands in preparation for you joining the King’s Rangers. It tells you the money is also for you, as the first gift from your father to you for your coming of age ceremony. Next to the note is a bag, you open it to find 100 gold pieces.

>100 gold added to inventory, 109 gold remaining

You put the note away and decide to eat breakfast. You think on what you’ll do for the day.

Well, I'm enjoying the story, and I like the setting so far. You're doing a good (albeit slow, but considering update sizes and your fatigue I'd say it's justifiable) job

I kinda wish you wrote faster but considering the size of the updates I don't mind it at all I mean it's to be expected when it's that large.

As for the plot and setting I really like it. Especially with all the factions and stuff I love that stuff.

You decide to go to the Wolfshield estate and visit Trista and Tyrel first. You finish your breakfast and head out to the Wolfshield estate. After abouut 15 minutes of walking you arrive at the Wolfshield estate, the guard at the gate recognize you and let you pass. You knock on the large wooden front door of the manor. A few moments later Trista answers the door.

“Oh Randal, I wasn’t expecting you, what brings you here?”

“Oh not much I just wanted to stop by and pay a visit, and see if maybe you and Tyrel would want to run errands with me today. I figured you would need to as well, considering we are both joining the King’s Rangers.”

“Oh I see, well Tyrel isn’t here, he left earlier to the palace to start his training as a King’s Guard. I would love to join you though it sounds nice. Just give me one moment to grab my coin purse and tell my parents.”

“Alright, I’ll wait here for you.”

Trista smiles and closes the door. A few minutes later she comes outside again with her coin purse in hand.

“Alright so where are we headed to first?” she asks.

“Let’s go to the market, we’ll probably need supplies for when we are rangers.”

“Sounds like a good idea, I’m not entirely sure what we’ll be given once we get there, so better safe than sorry.” Trista confirms.

You and Trista head off to the market district once more. On the way Trista is the first to start talking

“So Randal, how did you enjoy yourself last night?”

“Hmm? Oh, it was rather nice. I enjoyed myself quite a bit. What about you?”

“It was enjoyable for me as well, and to be honest, I’m glad we both are going to join the King’s Rangers.”

“Glad to hear it. I’m sure you’ll do your family proud.”

“Thanks Randal, you always manage to bring a smile to my face,” says Trista with a gleam, “but I that wasn’t the only reason I joined the King’s Rangers.”

“Oh really? Why else did you join?” you ask.

“Well...um, I joined b-because, well because of you,” Trista mumbles.

Wait did you just hear that right? Trista joined the King’s Rangers because of you?

“Really? You joined because I did?”

“Y-yes, oh, I knew I shouldn’t have said anything!” Trista stammers “You probably think I’m some sort of fool.”

“Well no I don’t think you’re a fool, I’m just dumbfounded is all. Why join the King’s Rangers because of me?”

“You idiot, its because I love you!” Trista yells, after the words leave her, she instantly gasps and puts her hands over her mouth.

Hold up, did Trista confess that she loves you? Well that’s a surprise, you wrack you brain thinking of what to say.

>”I don’t know what to say Trista.”
>”I feel the same way, I care about you and love you Trista.”

>>39579069
”I don’t know what to say Trista.” you say, rather shocked.

“Its alright, you don’t have to say anything,” Trista says coldly “I saw the way you looked at Princess Lydia last night, I can tell you have feelings for her. Just reject me, choose her and be done with it.” She begins to walk off.

“Look,” you say grabbing her by the arm, “just give me some time to...think this through, my head is a mess right now.”

“At least we can agree on that,” Trista interjects.

“We can talk about this later if you’d like, you’re my closest friend Trista. I care about you a lot. But there is a lot I’m going through, just give me time. That’s all I ask.”

Trista sighs and turns to face you. “Alright Randal, I’ll give you the time and space you need, but we should talk about this eventually. I love you a lot, and all I want is for you to be happy,” she says with a smile, “Now let’s go get our gear and enjoy the day.”

You agree and you and Trista head to the market. You’re glad she is so understanding, its always been a good quality of hers. You’re glad with how well that all went, most girls you know would have flipped out and yelled. But Trista is made of better quality stuff, you’re glad to have her as a friend.

After a few more minutes of walking, you reach the market district. Where do you stop by first?
