The Half-Blood Brigade

Emerick is the half blooded bastard son of Arnwald the Sky Tyrant, ruler of the Esperion Kingdom of the Wyrmshire Empire. Though a prince, his mixed blood prevents him from inheriting his father's throne. Resigned to his evident fate as a caged bird, he is content to live a fruitless but privileged life... until a task from his father throws him in the path of Trixie, big sister to a group of orphans she calls the Half-blood Brigade. Ambition rekindled with blossoming romance and the injustice towards those of mixed blood, Emerick finds himself on the conqueror's path, Trixie and her rag tag family at his side.

      "Do you mind if I sit here?" Trixie asked, carefully approaching the gentleman. 

      It seemed to take him a moment to realize she was addressing him. He continued staring blankly ahead a few moments, then slowly, unblinkingly, his eyes glided over to her. As he recognized that she was staring at him, he straightened to adress her in an odd, sloth-like fashion. 

      "Forgive me, I did not realize at first that it was me whom you had addressed," He said in a detached sort of voice. "I apologize for my negligence, but I was not paying attention. Could you repeat your question for me?" 

      "May I sit here?" Trixie replied patiently. She didn't consider herself much of a bleeding heart, but something about the lonely looking man and his downtrodden demeaner tugged at her compassion.
