Hallowed Be

Two years after Prince Heiko witnessed the death of his father during the 91st Battle of Tyton, and subsequently, the defeat of his kingdom, he was sent to the gates of the victor, armed with nothing but empty words and a command from his elder brother to form a treaty of peace. Two years after General Celestino Adesso released the arrow that felled the great king of Simo, he is presented with the youngest of his sons. Though barely a man at seventeen summers, the prince was far from wet behind the ears. In fact, his tactful yet brazen form of statecraft vaulted him far beyond his years. Coupled with his draconian mannerisms, and a knack for callous pleasure, it was only a matter of time before Celestino caught a whiff of something sinister. But Prince Heiko was no fool. He was betting heavily on that sharp nose. He wanted a sense of dubiety to gnaw at the general. He needed to create mistrust in his elder brother in order to build credence in himself. Because he knew of Celestino Adesso, and of the illustrious king he served. He knew they wouldn't trust him over his elder brother any more than they would trust a raincloud to bring sun. He knew that to those men, he wasn't honorable, and because of that, he was forced to play the games he was known for. The ones that conspired in the dead of night, the ones that spoke no words but shifted kingdoms. The ones that could obtain the allegiance of General Celestino. Little did the young prince know, however, allegiance was not all he would obtain. But no matter how much Heiko wanted to offer the man what he desired, he could not - not while bound to the gods.

Dulcet and Duplicitous - Part 1

Cele didn’t end up in Heiko’s tent that night, though, nor did he stay in his own. Instead, he sat with his back against the tree close to the prince’s tent, watching for Cuilin. After tirelessly tracking the chief's whereabouts throughout the day - the subtle touches and caresses, the cast glances, the murmured Burkean words - it felt as though there was absolutely no way he would leave Heiko to his own devices on his own accord.

Still, even after hours passed - as the dark sky began to deepen so much that Cele thought it impossible to get even darker - he never appeared, making the general wonder what Heiko had said to convince him to keep to himself, what additional promises were sworn with false words. Or... false words, he hoped.

The moon was at the highest point in the sky when Prince Heiko appeared in the entrance of his tent, dressed and ready for his escape. He stole a glance around the surrounding area before catching sight of Cele.
