Captain Sir example essay topic

Faerod Silvertree, Baron of the Isle of Silvertree, sat in his private chambers sipping a goblet of wine. He felt a small tweak at the back of his brain. When all at once a great rumble shook the palace. The chandelier shook, fell from the roof and shattered, scattering a fine layer of crystal over everything in the room. The walls and floor, made of magnificent, centuries old stone, shook and cracked.

There was then an immense wave of heat from the east side of the palace, the direction of Lady Embra's residence. Faerod stood and threw his glass across the room, causing it to shatter in a brilliant display of glass and blood red wine. He grabbed his robe, wrapped it around his large body, and pulled the chord to summon his guards. They were already on their way to his chambers, they were there almost instantaneously. Twenty of the Baron's best private guards piled, their boots crunching on the shattered crystal, into his room and lined up across from him, the Capitan stood forward, "Your orders Sir?"What do you know so far?" Faerod blared at him. "The Mage reports that Lady Embra's life force seems to have been severed from the castle.

Her chambers seem to have exploded from inside out, by a magickal source we cannot yet identify. It may have been cast by her or at her", the Captain detailed. Well, what are you waiting for? Get over there and find out what the hell is going on. Find out what condition she is in, if she is injured, or dead or what, okay?!

And nobody can get off, or on this island, for that matter, without me or the mage knowing. So find out what the hells going on", Baron Faerod roared, "NOW!" The guards filled out of the room, and trooped down the hall. Faerod poured himself another glass of wine in a new glass from the silver pitcher. Then he strode over to his balcony and stepped out. He looked over to where Lady Embra resided. Pure destruction greeted his eyes.

Where her room had been, was now a gaping hole in the palace. A smoking pile of rubble. Faerod knew that had his daughter been in her room at the time of the explosion, she would no longer be alive, but he couldn't help think that maybe, this was no accident and that Lady Embra was far away at the time. The room was silent, but in ruins. The heat was almost too much for the guards. The fires were eating up all the oxygen.

They ran out of the room gasping for air. The other guards were waiting outside with water, and the mage. He was frowning. As the captain's best man gulped down water then splashed some on his face, he looked at the mage and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"This magick that I'm sensing, ... it's not right... It feels like... a caged animal set loose.

Like a tended fire allowed to rage. This magick is wild yet, I recognise it. I must go, and meditate on this". The mage walked off, and disappeared. The Captain of the guards looked after him then said, "There is nothing here. Any evidence of what happened here was obviously blasted away, at the same time as everything else.

I'm going to report to the Baron, and ask him if he has any idea who would want to do this to his daughter,"Right, and do you want us to keep searching here?" said the Captain's best man. "No, start to try to put the fires out, and when I get back we can start to clean this mess up. I will have some servants sent to help", the captain stated then he walked off down the hall that the mage walked down, but he didn't disappear. The Captain was waiting in the Baron's chambers, with servants scuttling around everywhere trying to clean the broken shards of crystal off all the furniture, for the Baron to finish his bath.

There was a servant scrubbing at the wine stain in the stone, trying in vain to make it come out. The Captain walked over to the servant and said, "There is a large rug in the next room, that room is not in use right now, nor will it be for a long time I think. Go into that room and get that rug. It will be getting colder soon with winter coming, so he will want more rugs anyway.

Place the rug over that stain. If he asks why you put it in now, instead of in a few weeks like you normally would, tell him that it was my idea, because I had heard it would be a particularly bitter winter this year". The servant stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you Sir, I don't think that stain will ever come you. Thank you Sir". And he scuttled off, signalling for three others to go with him. Just then Faerod finished in his bath and dressed in his robe, still dripping, he walked into his room an fairly dumped his large self in a massive velvet chair.

He poured himself a glass of wine, ordered a servant to rub his feet, and only then did he acknowledge the Captains presence. "Well Captain, what have you got for me? Any sign of my useless daughter?" Faerod asked. "No sign Sir, she seems to have just clean disappeared.

And there are no clues in the room, we cannot find a thing. It is all just a burning hole. Absolutely nothing there Sir, but the mage said he could sense a type of Magick, a wild but familiar magick. I wanted to know if you know of anyone magickal who would want to hurt, or kill Lady Embra?"I know of may people who would want to do many things to all of the Silvertree but I do not believe that she is dead.

I believe that she was kidnapped. That she was forced to teleport herself, and that a spell was cast on her so that she could only go to a certain place. What do you think?"Me sir? Well, I guess that could be what happened. But who would do that?

"There are a few people I guess. There is always the same old people, but I would say that the highest possibility would be Baron War illa from across the ranges, but he is in a feud with a few of his Lords right now, something to do with lands rights. I can't think of anybody else who would want to hurt her right now."Okay, think hard sir, are you sure, not even someone who has a slight tiff with her or may be thinks the Silvertree house owes them something. Anybody at all."Well, there were these two men.

They had just come back from the crusades, fighting for me. I invited all of my men to a large party. These two men turned up, drunk and disheveled. They started ranting and raving about debts to be paid, and how they would claim their own. I put it out of my mind then, but come to think of it now, one of them did have slight magickal abilities and with training and the right objects he could have done this easily.

That's it! I want those two men found now! I want them bought to me and tortured until they give me my daughter, and if they won't tell me, I will have them hung, drawn and quartered."Okay sir, I will send troops into the village at once". The Captain said at once, "and if you don't mind sir, I would like to go with them,"Do as you please, just bring me those two men". Faerod Silvertree sat on his balcony and watched as his personal guards, headed by his Captain and his Best man, rode out of the castles interior and down the road towards the village. He finished his breakfast and went inside to get dressed for the day.

The day passed without much notice, the food was extra spicy, his room was extra warm. All he could do was wait for his guards to get back from town with news. Night had come and he was sitting in his chambers sipping a glass of mulled wine. There was a knock on the door.

The Baron stood and answered the door. "Yes, who is it?" The Baron asked before he opened the door "The Captain of the guards and Best man. We are reporting from our search in the town". The Baron opened the door and walked back to his seat.

The Captain closed the door behind him and his Best man and they stood to attention, "Well, what have you got to report? I have been waiting around all day for you", the Baron growled. "We searched the town inside out and upside down, but we cannot find the two young men you described, it seems they went missing the day of Lady Embra's accident, and haven't been seen since. We have a band of men out looking for them now", the Captain reported. "Right then, you may leave now.

I wish to get some sleep". The Baron fairly dismissed the Captain and his Best man, and ignored them till they left the room. He then stood shrugged off his robe and went to bed. He was presently asleep, where he sleep peacefully. The next morning the guards had come back from search.

They had some news, and they reported to the captain. "Captain sir, we found the two men, and they did indeed have the Lady Embra with them. But it was by her own wish. She had cast a spell on her room so that at the exact time she left the palace grounds her chambers would explode, and cause a distraction so that the Baron would not notice her leaving.

She paid the two young men to have the outburst at the party and she also paid them to shelter her once she was out of the palace until her lover came for her."Is that all?" the Captain inquired. "Yes sir, shall we report to the Baron now?" they asked. "NO! I will do that you have no need to concern yourself. You have been out all night, go and get a meal and get some rest. I will deal with the Baron", the Captain dismissed, them and waved them in the direction of the kitchen.

The Captain then headed towards the Barons chambers. As he arrived, he could hear the Baron roaring at one of his servants for making his bath water too hot. .".. You incompetent little swine!!

I will beat you to a. ". The Captain knocked on the door. Faerod's roaring ceased, and he said, "Come in". The Captain opened the door and as he stepped in he noticed a servant scuttle out behind him as the Baron shot him a glance that could freeze a fire. "Well, what news do you have for me?!

Have they found Embra yet?"Yes sir they have". The Captain said shortly. "Well man, out with it where is she? Disobedient teenager!

!" The Baron growled. "Well sir, we found the men but there whereabouts had nothing to do with that of Lady Embra's. They were at a family gathering that happens every year. They had forgotten that event at the party, and apologise sincerely if that event caused you any worry.

As for the Lady Embra, we searched the rubble under her window and we found her body. It seems she had just realised the extent of her powers and she had gone too far. The Mage determined that for us, with his scrying. We would like to organise a memorial service through the town, so that the lesser can pay their respects to the House of the Silvertree."Really she's dead...

A memorial service you say, so that the lesser can pay their respects to the House of the Silvertree. Yes. I like that idea. Organise the memorial service. I don't want to see the body. Just throw it into the kitchen fireplace, and start cleaning up her chambers.

I want to start rebuilding right away."Yes sir. And Sir?" The Captain said. "Yes, what is it now?" the Baron said angrily. "I would like to ask for relief of my services.

So that I may travel back to my homeland and live out my life with my family". The Captain asked. "As you wish but find a replacement before you la eve. I don't want to be left out on a limb just because you want to go all sentimental on me, is that understood?"Yes, sir. Will do. Thank you sir."Leave me now.

I want to be alone". The Baron turned his back on him then, and walked out onto his balcony. The Captain grinned to himself and walked out the door. As he shut the door behind him he whispered quietly, "I will be by your side soon my love, soon... .".
