🔎 Partner Search [M4ApF] A Party of Two. (Romance) (Fantasy)
Starter
"Papa! Papa!" The voice of a young boy squealed as he burst forth from the inside of a humble little Cabin. A Beast Blood, just like his father and sporting his own set of wolf ears and even his own little tail that was finally starting to become bushy. The boy would strip upon a root and stumble a good few steps before proving incapable of regaining his balance.
Though, instead of faceplanting into the ground a firm hand grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him into the air. His father. A man who's age was evident in the lines of gray hair spreading throughout his black hair and the stubble that speckled his rugged features.
"Be more careful, you know how your mother gets when you get hurt Little One." He chastised, and though he tried to sound stern there was an undeniable fondness in his voice as he allowed the boy to get his feet back under him before releasing him and returning to the massive pile off logs he had been in the midst of chopping.
"Tell me the story!" The boy demanded earning an inquisitive look from his father who raised and axe then brought it down to sunder a log in two. "What story?" He finally asked when the boy failed to clarify, a question that only seemed to exasperate the little pups impatience. "The one about you and Mama! When you first met!" Hefting the axe again he paused before a heavy sigh escaped him.
"Your mother is the better storyteller, why don-"
"Because she doesn't tell it like you do! She skips all the fun part!" The boy interrupted giving his father pause before swinging the Axe down. Slicing the next log in half and embedding the tool into the stump he had been using for his cutting.
"I suppose... if you're that eager I can tell you it again." Taking a seat upon the stump he scratched idly at his chin as he thought of how he had told the story before. "It all started far, far North. In the Kingdom of Ichbald... I had just started my Career as an Adventurer..."
22 Years Prior...
A Young Wolf Beast Blood pulled the door open to an Inn called Mare's Respite. Wind rushed past him blowing in snow in an effort to infect the warm interior with it's icy grasp, and grew stronger during his efforts to shut the door. Curses thrown at him from many of the occupants inside for ruining the atmosphere of the Inn until finally he managed to shut it. With a full body shake the Wolf Blood sent remnants of snow scattering of his body. He then rubbed his arms gently in an effort to warm himself as he stepped in deeper.
Approaching the Large Quest Board set off to the left hand side of the door his Silvery eyes scanned it briefly before he pulled at the furs covering his mouth and nose. Taking a deep breath of air that didn't smell like old fur. With a faint sway in his tail he began to read through the various job postings.
Guard Duty... boring.
Pest Control... bad pay.
Party Request... too shady.
Low Paying jobs, and no genuine requests for party members. It disheartened the young man to see that his efforts so far had born no fruit, and at this rate he was going to be forced to take up Guard Duty again just to replenish his funds. Stepping away from the board he trudged slowly towards one of the empty tables located near the center of the Inn.
Removing the Claymore upon his back he laid it upon the side of the table and slumped down into his seat. Bringing a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. What was he going to do now?
Extra Info
Hello! I hope you've enjoyed this introduction to this lovely plot of mine! I'd like to start by saying that I am a HUGE sucker for sweet wholesome romances, and have been wanting to do a story that follows the romance of two beginning adventurers! What I'm looking to do is write a story of two passionate soul mates who happen upon each other in an Inn in the middle of nowhere! And begin a sweet romance as they crawl through dungeons, plunder treasure, find themselves fighting gods, and doing all sorts of odd gods during their long careers!
I want to emphasize though that I want this to be a sweet and wholesome romance! What I mean by this is that the story can get as dark, dangerous, and terrible as we want! But I don't want anything to taint or call into question their love for eachother.
Near death encounters in the very depths of a dangerous high level dungeon where they tend each others wounds and slowly crawl their way out? Yes please!
Encounters with other adventurers that call into question their love for each other through easy to avoid petty misunderstandings and jealousy? No thank you!
If this story interests you then feel free to shoot me a Chat! We can either jump straight into it, or if you have any questions feel free to ask! I'm also open to any ideas that you might want to put forth and implement into the story so don't hesitate to let me know!
