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.

 "Is that... It can't be..." Jacoby shook his head. "Please... by the divines... Please tell me that's not... Not..." 

 "Rosalba," Emerick sighed. Her metallic, dusty rose locks were unmistakable, even from a distance. "Believe me, I don't like the looks of this anymore than you. I can't imagine what that girl could possibly be thinking." 

 "It doesn't take much imagination to know," Jacoby replied, sounding oddly defeated. "The better question would be at what volume and octave of the 'war cry' is set." 

 "Are we sure it's a war cry and not a shriek of delight?" Emerick wondered. 

 "Is there a difference when it comes to Princess Rosalba?" Jacoby replied. Emerick could only shrug.
