Disclaimer: All the usual rules apply, if you are too young blah blah, shouldn't be reading this, etc etc but seriously, who is going to know! Also, this story may contain acts of a gay sex so if this offends you: 1) How the hell did you come to be reading this anyway? Is there something you want to tell me? 2) Don't be such a homophobe...we are still people! 3) I suggest you leave now and find help.
Authors Note: Ok, this is my first attempt at this kind of thing so please bear with me. If you are looking for something that you can get off to quickly then I suggest you move on because although this will have sexual elements, I intend it to be more of a story. Enjoy:).
Mages of Cornelia from Part 1.
"Hold on, firstly, if you knew Angelique was responsible for the death of the royal family...my family. Why didn't you go to the government? I am sure the House of Lords and Commons would have done something about it! And secondly, WHERE IS THIS CORNELIA?"
"I will answer you second question first as this will explain the answer to the first. Cornelia is not exactly what you would call accessible to your...the British Government or any other on earth for that matter. You see, Cornelia is not an island. It is a planet."
Mages of Cornelia Part 2.
"I beg your pardon?" asked Jake.
"This is not Earth. We have travelled Millions of Light years from what you believe to be your home planet. We are in a distant quadrant of the universe where the Interstellar Wars have not yet reached. Jake, listen to me, this is very important. You are now the rightful King of this planet! You must help remove Angelique from her reign of tyranny or we will all sink into desolation. Come, we must go and meet Rynor, your Body Guard."
"Woah woah woah old man! This is a lot to take on board. I do now see why you didn't tell my...the government but how did we get here, what kind of progress was it you were monitoring on earth? I still have many questions!" exclaimed Jake.
"There is no time Jake. If Angelique discovers you are here then our long made plans will be ruined. Here, put this on." Dominic appeared to produce a hooded cloak from nowhere but Jake was too dazed to ask and donned it immediately. Dominic set off again towards the centre of town and in a short while they had arrived at a very plain looking house. It was built of a grey coloured stone with two rooms upstairs and two downstairs. It looked no different form any other in the street to Jake but he realised that must have been why they picked it. Dominic knocked on the door and waited for it to be opened, all the while stealing quick glances left and right. Within five seconds the door was open and Jake saw the most beautiful man he had ever seen. He was about 6"2, bronze skin, high cheek bones and hazel eyes. He had dark, floppy hair with a blond streak in it. He wore a simple tunic that showed off his bulging arms, enormous pecs and tree trunk legs. Jake couldn't tell but he guessed that his pecs weren't the only enormous thing being covered by the tunic.
"Good afternoon Rynor, this is Jake" said Dominic gesturing behind him. Rynor did not outwardly seem to register this comment; instead he went inside leaving to door open and pulled the curtains in the one window. As soon as Dominic and Jake were in the house, however, he immediately went down on one knee.
"It is an honour and a privilege to finally meet you my lord." Jake was shocked, he didn't know what to say, here was this god among men kneeling before him calling him my lord! How was he supposed to act? What did one normally do in this sort of situation? Luckily Dominic saved him from having to make that decision.
"Rynor, Jake knows nothing of this world. He must be taught all about our arts and his place in this world. I must go now but I will be back in a few weeks to see how you are getting on."
"A few weeks," exclaimed Jake, what about my life back home...er, on earth?"
"Do not worry, Agent May will deal with all of that" replied Dominic and with that he swept out of the room leaving Jake with his god.
"My lord, can I get you anything?" asked Rynor.
"Well first off please call me Jake, this `my lord' thing is rather unnerving. Only an hour ago I was a kid living in my aunts' attic in Sussex, living a solitary life. Now you tell me I am the King of an entirely different planet! Please, just tell me everything you can of who I really am and what it is I must do" Jake pleaded.
"Very well Jake. Do you know of your parent's demise?"
"Yeah, Dominic told me about Angelique's agents."
"I see. Well then you must know that Angelique has taken over this system and is ruling with nothing but her greed. But first, Cornelia is a planet of magic. What armies we have consist almost entirely of mages and the creatures they can summon. The only others in the army are Angelique's personal Body Guard that consist of warriors from all over the known universe. Nobody knows how she came by them but many believe they are under an enchantment or some other devilry. Excuse me, I digress. As you probably know, Dominic is a mage; in fact he is a deserter from the army. When this planet was ruled by the Royal family, he, like many others, was happy to serve in the army but when Angelique took over many deserted and have been attempting to over throw Angelique. None have succeeded and any that are caught are immediately killed. This resistance had all but given up any hope of ever removing this tyrant until a few years ago. We learnt that the Prince, that's you, had not been killed with his parents and since that day we have been frantically planning our great uprising. Dominic was able to bring you here using his magic and he will teach you the many ways this magic can be used. It is my job to teach you the physical side of your training. You will be taught the ways of the sword, the bow and the lance. Do you have any questions so far?"
"I, I don't think so." At this point, Rynor went on to give a brief outline of what had happened in the last 14 years, covering the hunt for the resistance, the hell that Angelique forced upon the people and the plans the remaining resistance had for him. By the time he had finished it was late in to the night and Jake was extremely tired.
"Jake, I think it is time you sleep, you have had a long day and been told many things. Rest now and we will start your training tomorrow. Come, follow me." Rynor lead him from the kitchen where they had been sitting, past what looked like a storage room and up the stairs.
"This is only my humble home and as such I have only one bed. You, of course must take this, I will sleep down in the kitchen by the hearth" stated Rynor.
"Don't be ridiculous. I am going to be here at least for a few weeks. I can't have you sleeping down there on my account anyway! You will sleep in the bed and I shall sleep in the floor."
"I cannot permit that my lord. Please, if you insist on this then please share the bed with me. You go to bed first, then once you are a sleep I will come up and sleep on the other side."
"Ok, that is a good idea. And don't call me my lord!"
"Sorry. Through here is the bathroom where you can wash up and..."
"Wait, you don't have glass in you windows but you have running water in your house?"
"This is a land of magic Jake, you would do well to remember that. Anyway, as I was saying, this is the bathroom where you can wash up and relieve yourself. Now, rest now, I will come up shortly."
Jake walked through to the bedroom to see a large double bed, a chest of draws and a stool. A thought struck him.
"Rynor, what should I sleep in. I didn't have a chance to get any of my stuff back on earth."
"Hmm, what did you sleep in on earth?"
"Umm, well, I didn't...I mean, I didn't sleep in anything, not that I didn't sleep" Jake blustered out, extremely embarrassed.
"Well it is warm enough for you to do so here. I have no objections, I also prefer to sleep nude." Jake felt his groin twitch at that and quickly turned away to prevent Rynor noticing.
"Ok, thanks" he said. Once Rynor had left he stripped down and noticed it really was quite warm despite the lack of covering on the windows. He quickly got in to bed, not wanting Rynor to come back and see him naked. He tried to get to sleep but he just couldn't. Him, a King, it can't be right; it must be a dream or a mistake or something. After a while he heard Rynor come up the stairs and pretended to be asleep, not wanting to keep Rynor up on his account.
Rynor went down to the kitchen and waited for Jake to fall asleep. He was finally here; they had finally found the right one. Getting him away from the Agent May had been hard though. She didn't believe they were really trying to help. It took a lot to persuade her otherwise. But that doesn't matter now, all that matters is that he is here. The next few weeks was going to be hard. Not the training, something completely different. Jake was extremely attractive. He had retained his Cornelian physique and he was an extremely fine specimen. Keeping his attraction a secret from Jake was going to be hard, especially as they now had to share a bed.
After about fifteen minutes Rynor decided that Jake must be asleep so crept upstairs as quietly as possible and looked in on Jake. He appeared to be asleep so Rynor crept in, removed his tunic and got in to bed as softly as possible. He sighed. How could he share a bed with such a gorgeous young man and hide his attraction?
Note: So, Jake is a King, he has to help overthrow some woman called Angelique and he is currently sharing a bed with a young Hunk! What will happen next??? As always, feedback greatly appreciated at magesofcornelia@hotmail.co.uk
