William Lovie III.

William Lovie III. or "Andrew Lovie"is the son of Lisa, and the now exiled former king Bill Lovie making him a member of the royal House Lovie through his father, and a member of House Tyrell through his mother. Andrew Lovie is the brother of Sean, and Alice Lovie of which he is the oldest of the siblings and his sister Alice is his most beloved person and lies above everyone elce in terms of importance to Andrew, while his brother Sean lost his mind early in life and was killed by William during the Battle of Berne but not before he accepted his failings at his death and apologized to his brother. William is also married to Bella Swan of whom he fell in love with while he was travelling to Forks while on The Journey. With Bella Swan he has two children in the form of William Lovie IV., and Ashley Lovie of which his son William is the heir to the Kingdom of Lucerne and a growing boy being squired by Jasper Hale, and his daughter Ashley is still young at the end of the Rise of Lucerne. William would also engage in a long running affair with Brooke Scott of whom he would love in many ways more then Bella, and with Brooke he had two children in the form of Riley and Sigmund Scott of whom he has cared for since their birth and Riley is fully aware of his parentage while Sigmund is still young being around Ashley's age. William would also have one child with Britney Hemsworth of whom was brought in by his father and would fall fanatically in love with him but he never respricated this love and thus their child Lucie Lovie is the oldest of his children and a growing influencial member of the Numeron Order of the Black run by Britney. He also has one child with Amber Heard II. of whom he loved but she was sent away by his father while he was in the coma and when he came out he was confused over his feelings and hurt by her rejection and didn't see her again until her death at the Battle of Berne, but their child Thomas Lovie is being squired by William himself and is a skilled swordsmen and close friend to his other son William Lovie IV.

An irresponsible playboy as a young man, he was constantly resentful towards his father who he believed caused the failing condition of his mother, as well as being upset about the horrible way in which Bill treated Andrew's siblings especially his sister Alice. This resenment eat away at him for many years as he continued to spiral emotionally out of control. After a disasterous relationship with Britney Hemsworth his sister Alice finnally said enough was enough and stopped his behavior. Andrew got into a relationship with Amber Heard which was filled with love but when Alice Lovie was removed from his memory along with everyone elces he went into a coma and during this time she was removed from Lucerne. Following his coma he would be clearly lost without Alice though he didn't know that it was her loss that troubled him, and in this way his father would bring in Alistair Irons of his loyalist House Irons who he thought would put Andrew back into line with what he was before. Instead of this Alistair would change him into the person that most believed he was always meant to be. This change would set the Kingdom of Lucerne on a tailspin as because of this new outlook on life, and the longing to find out what he was missing in his heart William would engage in the Journey which ended with the liberation of Tree Hill, alliance with Gondor, and the removal of Bill Lovie as King. With himself now the king Andrew engaged in a civil war with his brother Sean which ended with Seans eventual Death during the disasterous Battle of Berne which also left him with his first child, and the death of Amber Heard II. of whom he had loved deeply. Following this Andrew massivly expanded the Kingdom of Lucerne into Westros where at the end of the Rise of Lucerne book he is preparing to travel on griphon to the top of the Lucerne mountains in hopes of gaining Dragons again. Travelling to the top of the mountains he is shocked when he is met by Brooke during his flight, and the two come together and talk when he can only assume its in his imagination but in fact she is real but resurected by Flemeth. Meeting with the Dragons fails at first but the intervention of Lornax, and Flarnax would seal an alliance between the two in which if Andrew really needed the Dragons they would assist Lucerne.

Early Life



 * ``My mother was never what she should have been. I blamed her for that for basically my entire youth, and it was only the assistence of my sister Alice that even allowed my mother to keep moving on. I can`t tell you how many times she tried to kill herself because I honestly don`t remember anymore.``


 * -William Lovie III.

Andrew Lovie was born in 80 A.D, following his birth the orcs began overrunning the Bretonian border with Hispania. This finally reached its peak in the Battle of Lyons of which his father Bill would take part in as the King of Lucerne. This battle caused the madness of Bill Lovie and meant that the relationship between father and son was not as close as it might have been. His relationship with his mother was non-excistent due to her suffering from debilitating depression that meant she was basically nothing more then a walking zombie. During this time he and his sister Alice were basically raised by his aunt Catherine Bell who took over the role of mother of the two. Bill watched helplessly as his prized heir moved farther and farther away from him, while the only one of the children that actually cared for Bill was Sean but unfortunatly for Sean Bill despised him without any kind of contempt.

The Shadow Council
Once he reached the point where he was being educated he begin a friendship with Edward, Jasper, and Emmet which would be friendships that would greatly affect his life. His relationships with each were unique, and as is often the case with Andrew he found a way to make every relationship about something. Emmet and him made eachother stronger. He became a more emotionally sensitive person through Jasper. And Edward greatly increased his knowledge in political matters. Even as young children the three were inseperable and the inclusion of Emmett into their ranks did nothing but increase the closeness of the group. It was especially tough for Andrew when Edward was sent to Hogwarts for years and the group was without the moral compass that Edward provided it, and the consequences of this were great on Jasper and especially Andrew.



Alice Lovie

As a young man though there was no relationship that could ever match up to the one he had with his sister Alice. This relationship would come to define him, and in subtle ways would be a major source of the distrust and hate between Andrew and Sean. No matter who came or went from Andrew's life the one constant love in his heart, and the person that everyone knew meant the world to him was Alice.

Andrew's hobbies became Alice's hobbies, and the things Alice enjoyed Andrew tried to enjoy as well. This came to the front as the two came to really enjoy going down to Lucerne proper on their free days, and in these times they would play as if they were adventure's from a distant land, and not the prince, and princess of the Kingdom of Lucerne. This came to define them as they spent more and more time escaping the world that for Alice was filled with pain, and for Andrew was filled with regret, over what he knew he should be doing but for whatever reason he was to weak to become the prince the people needed.

The Demitri Incident



 * "It was hard to believe even after all the emotional abuse I had recieved from my father that someone could actually hate me enough that they wanted to kill me. The real damage for me of the Demitri incident was for a long time I believed that this was validation of what my father believed. This man knew nothing about me and yet even he thought I deserved to die."


 * -Alice Lovie

The Demitri incident was the the event that occured when Bill Lovie hired mercenary Demitri Volturi to assasinate Alice. Bill Lovie would send his feelers throughout the neibhoring regions as he defintly couldn't use someone from Lucerne, and after talking with Ravenholdt he was silently told no as the man he had talked to was Ezio Ederiz and he spoke against dealing with Bill Lovie although Bill would not know that it was Ezio that had done this. Eventually after exhausting better sources of assasins Bill would settle on a young man named Demitri of whom had a growing reputation for getting the job done. Demitri was a member of the Roman Family Volturi of whom were an extremely wealthy family within the northern Italian country side. In his boredom Demitri had come to selling himself as a mercenary to keep his strength strong. Demitri had become completely used to the orders of others and this had caused an emotional collapse in the young man as he was forced by his trade to provide the killing of people that he knew nothing about.


 * "I was at my lowest point when I was given the message that a man of the highest importance was on his way to talk to me. I wondered who the hell it could be but I never had any idea it would be Bill Lovie."


 * -Demitri

It was at this point that he was contacted by Bill Lovie, who wanted Demitri to enter Lucerne and kill Alice. Bill was forced to once again use an alias and would travel to the lands of northern Italy alongside his growing Circle of Magi, and in fact the man that Demitri thought was BIll Lovie was actually Kieth Schwartz acting as a body double in case of trouble. Bill would make sure he was able to enter the city, and once inside he was to find Alice and kill her. Demitri was told that he was in no way to harm Bill's son Andrew Lovie, and that his death would be a certianty if he did. Kieth also made sure to note that Alice needed to be strangled so that they could make it look afterwards like she had hung herself, and their could not be any sign of physical violence. After at first laughing about the hypocricy of killing one child and protecting the other one, he was silently approached from the side by Bill who pulled back the hood and said the following to Demitri.

"Every family has their problems. My family has a problem that can only be solved when she is removed. My heir is the most perfect prince anyone in the entire continent could ask for, and I don't fear for a second that you could kill him. I warn you not to save my son, but instead I warn you because if you approach my son he will kill you, and thus make you unable to kill my daughter."

-Bill Lovie

After this Demitri understood his command completely and agreed to the task set before him, and with this the five members of the Circle of Magi, and Bill would leave the meeting place and return to Lucerne. Demitri returned to Rome for a time where he fashioned a team of other assasins that he would use in order to enter the city of Lucerne, and eliminate any threats that he found once he arrived. What his assasins did not know was that he was going to use them as a lure to allow him to more safely enter the tower since he didn't have complete confidence in Bill Lovie getting him inside what many deemed to be the most heavily fortified capital in the region.



A Uninvited Guest

 * "Arriving at the base of that city for some reason gave me chills. I didn't understand quite why I was nervous, but I knew that something just wasn't right about all this. I entered anyway because I was worried my father would be upset that I had failed a mission from the King of Lucerne if I returned."


 * -Demitri

Demitri would come to camp a few hours south of Lucerne, and during this time he was met by Kieth Schwartz of whom assured him once again that he would have a simple entry into the city, and he needed to be done by the following day or he would begin to arise suspision. He entered the city, and after sneaking him and his team to the Sky Towers he commanded them to attack a group of merchants near the tower, and thus force several of the gaurds away from the wall he was intending to climb. His team would be combated by the front defenders of the tower, and this distraction allowed him to walk by the normally gaurded western wall of the Tower and slowly make the climb up the side to the first balcony which was on the ninth floor. The climb was extremely dangerous as the tower had been designed so that noone was supposed to be able to scale the sides for fear of this very thing, and on top of this the area around the tower was constantly gaurded by hundreds of men at arms especially during that time of day. Despite all of these dangers he slowly made his way up the side of the tower using his personal hidden dagger tool he had purchased from Ravenholdt. After reaching the ninth floor he was able to make his way onto the balcony and prepare the next step of his plan.


 * Alice_Lovie_Large2.jpg"Reaching that balcony was for me the first moment since I had entered the city that I felt like I would survive this mission. I had not understood how truly expansive the city was until I stood on that balcony and quickly scanned around the area and saw how massive it all really was."


 * -Demitri

Demitri would make his way throught the next few levels of the Tower of Clouds until he reached Floor 17 and came nearly face to face with Draco Highmore of whom was making his nightly rounds of the Tower of Clouds. Draco would stop and look around as he felt that he had senced someone nearbye but Demitri was able to hide himself, and then able to make his way up the next few floors until he finally reached floor twenty five where he discovered the bedroom of both Alice, and William Lovie. Finding his target at last he checked Williams room to make sure he was in fact out of the Sky Towers at the time before he made his way into Alice's room to find her asleep in the bed. He would silently move towards her bed admiring for a moment her beauty before he would capture her neck with his hands and waking her up with a sqeak but no noice loud enough to wake anyone up.


 * Alice_Lovie_Medium.jpg"I was standing on the balcony when I felt this immense pain in my heart, and a vision of Alice in pain. In that moment there was nothing on my mind except for the simple truth that I had to get to her. I ran to her room faster, and more frantic then I think I'v ever been before that moment, and when I ran in I didn't think I just prepared for any threat that might be harming her. That run from the balcony to her room was the most frighting ten seconds of my life as I imagined the hundreds of posibilities that I could find in that room."


 * -William Lovie III.

He was in the middle of strangling her to death when Andrew ran into the room and crashed into Demitri knocking him to the ground. A fight then broke out between Andrew and Demitri, and in this moment Demitri understood in the truest of ways why Bill had said not to confront William as after falling to the ground Demitri would roll away and take out his sword while William would have nothing but his fists. In this uneven battle William would dodge thrust after thrust until finally flinging a book at Demitri's face which in order to dodge Demitri was forced to turn away from him, and when he did William charged him and was able to take the sword from him. Now with a sword the two would continue to fight but William was an extremely talented dueler and pushed him out of the room before making sure Alice didn't watch what happened next. Sure that Alice wasn't watching William would decapitate Demitri and push his body off the balcony. With his adversary dead William returned to Alice's room to find her frantically searching the halls for him, and when she saw him she ran straight into his arms.



"The feeling of him embracing me, just released the flood gates, and I cried so much that I didn't think I'd ever stop. This wouldn't be the only time that he was forced to save me but in that moment it just felt like he was the only person in the world. My brother held me for what may have been five minutes or may have been hours before finally Draco entered the hallway, and William just nodded at him before picking me up and leading me to his room. Suffice to say I didn't have to beg him to let me sleep in his room for awhile after that."

-Alice Lovie

William would hold Alice as she lost herself in her fear, and sadness, and this would continue until a few minutes later Draco and several gaurds would enter the hallway to make sure everything was alright now. William wouldn't say a word, and Draco wouldn't make him as he simply picked up Alice and brought her to his room to sleep. Following the incident noone was told and the gaurds on duty were made to keep it a secret, and thus noone close to them not even Edward, or Jasper would know of this attack against Alice. Even though they thought it was kept a secret the failure of Demitri to kill Alice had come to Bill as he was the one that set it in motion, and Draco reluctantly was forced to tell him what had happened despite his misgivings.



Britney Hemsworth
See Also : Britney Hemsworth

Bill Lovie had a loyal messenger in Arnor at the time who sent him the news that the young Britney Hemsworth was now free. Bill sent letters to King Jonas Hemsworth asking him if her hand was open for his young son Andrew Lovie. This was a much better option then most of the other options so Jonas agreed, and Britney was planned to be sent to Lucerne to get to know Andrew so they could make sure it would work.

When Britney arrived in Lucerne Bill made sure to use all of his skill to menipulate the young girl into keeping her purpose their a secret. With the element of suprise still with him, he set Britney out on a mission to seduce Andrew, which based on his whorish behavior at the time wasn't difficult. As her sexual ways moved her closer and closer to Andrew she became slowly quite obsessed with the young prince. This obsession had her go to insane lengths to make sure that Andrew was always paying attention to her, and above all else was always enjoying himself with her. She came to learn all the stories that he loved. All the games he loved to play she showed incredible interest in. All the things she could do to show him how much he meant to her she did and she also silently led Andrew down a dark sexual path that led to the conflict that would begin with Alice. It was during this dark fall that another girl would enter the picture in the form of Leven Martell.



Leven Martell
"There was just something about him that draws you in. It was past the appearances and the standing life. It was just that you looked in his eyes and saw hope. Where so often life was filled with dispair and a feeling that nothing would work out. He managed to make you forget all your problems and just believe in something. I continued to believe in that feeling long after I realized it wasn't going to be us in the end."


 * -Leven Martell

Leven Martell attended the Lucernian Academy and when she arrived there her sister was in her last year which meant the two close sisters were very similar when they both were at school together. This mean that for her first year Leven was a determined student and was constantly attempting to get better at fighting, and during the last months of her fist year in the academy she grew close to Andrew Lovie, and Jasper Hale. This closeness at first was mainly with Jasper but after he became entranced by a number of other girls Leven and Andrew became closer. She was drawn in by his kindness, and looks but eventually she came to be driven closer by a feeling she got when she was around him. She had never felt safer then when she was with him, and in her loneliness he gave her a constant reprieve. What started as the two simply training together in fencing became a sexual relationship that spilled into every fabric of their lives. Before long they were barely even fencing, as she was becoming more obsessed with the way that he made her feel, and for him her innocense and kindness made him forget a moment the person he was becoming.


 * "She was intrigeuing and so innocent. She was just like Amber was in so many ways. A girl with a beautiful heart that I never even took a second to look at."


 * -William Lovie III.

This was during the time when Britney Hemsworth was still in the picture and thus Andrew was a very wild young man with little control over himself, and when he met Leven he was quickly able to seduce the buaetiful and intelligent but still naive young girl into his bed. During this period she was one of the main girls that he was with and she when her sister left she became even more emotionally involved with Andrew, and this continued even during the chaotic days that came about when Britney Hemsworth lost the affection of Andrew. Britney and Leven came to fight eachother on several occasions at school as the two girls fought over the affection of Andrew who was at this point moving on to Amber Heard II. of whome he would become actually emotionally involved.



Alice steps in

 * "Alice understood me better then anyone elce in this world. In my mind I knew she was right, but I was just so bitter that I couldn't accept it. I tried to push her away but she wouldn't let me. I tried to fake it but she wouldn't believe me. In the end I should have just listened to her."


 * -William Lovie III.

As Andrew basked in the constant sexual gratification he was getting, his loving sister Alice was becoming very upset about the fall her brother was taking. She confronted Andrew about it, and the two got into a heated argument which ended with Alice walking away, and them not speaking for a time. With his sister's disapointment Andrew began making changes in his life, and Britney could not seem to get him back to where she had him before. She tried everything that had worked before but it was all to no success, of which included an ever darker series of sexual attempts of which continued down a darker path of violence. She finnally attempted to confront Alice herself but this only had the effect of creating even more conflict when Andrew stuck up for his sister.



Confrontation with Alice

 * "I knew so little about Britney that when she came to me and wanted to speak to me I didn't have any idea what we were going to speak of. As I walked down the stairs I tried to remember what I knew of Britney and I couldn't think of anything. I barely knew the sound of her voice let alone enough about her to make me able to discuss anything. I guess I hated her before and felt pity for her after. I realized that she loved my brother at his lowest, and she was just trying to reach the same levels as he was."


 * -Alice Lovie

Alice was in her room when Britney came to the Sky Tower and she was alerted by a gaurd that Britney was on the main floor asking for her. She went to William's room but found that he was gone, so she went by herself downstairs accompanied by Graden Bloomine where she planned to have it out with Britney. When she went downstairs she found that Britney was standing in the open garden next to the tower, and she was clearly upset. As she moved closer Britney noticed her and bolted towards, and after being told to move back from Alice and continueing to yell at her she was restrained by Graden. Now being held by Graden Britney unleashed her anger towards Alice and Alice just stood their as Britney at first became irrationally anger, and then broke down into tears. As she broke into tears Alice saw for the first time the side of Britney that she had never allowed herself to see before. As Alice went to comfort her she was shuffled away by Graden of whom didn't listen to Alice's desire for Britney to remain, and since she would be removed following this fight Alice would never get the chance to. Following this Britney was quietly shuffled out of the city by Bill Lovie who believed she had completely failed. Unknown to Andrew was the fact that he had gotten Britney pregnant during their relationship and she now carried his child. Despite his best attempts at fixing things with Alice he became ever more detatched from the situation and it only got worse when he grew into conflict with Jasper as well over the things that Jasper had been feeling. Alice continued to attempt to get through to Andrew but she found that he was changing in a darker way and she begin to fear for him.



Jasper Falls
For Jasper this behavior ended when his at the time girlfriend Kristen Trachtenburg became pregnant with his child, and the moment she came and told him was one of the worst moments of his life as he understood that he had finally been caught. He also knew that because it was Kristen Trachtenburg that was Andrew's cousin and thus his best friend was going to be furious that he defiled a member of House Lovie in such a way. The first person that he told after he left Kristen was Andrew, and as he arrived at the Sky Towers he was allowed in as all the gaurds knew who he was to Andrew. When arrived in Andrew's floor he was having sex with Levan Martell on the floor of his room, and in this moment as Jasper walked in on this kind of behavior he for the first time truly understood how far he and his friend has fallen. Andrew laughed it off, and bid Levan to get dressed, and when she did she left his room with nothing more then a sideways kiss. When Jasper moved to tell Andrew about what happened with Kristen Andrew stopped him and begin telling him how he was a great friend, and as Andrew continued to talk Jasper realized that Andrew was drunk. Seeing his friend like this he couldn't help but wonder what was happening that had him so emotionally troubled, and at the same time he wondered where Alice was. When Jasper asked him where Alice was he laughed and said that Alice was pissed at him for the way he was acting. Despire the hard way that he had said it you could tell without any effort at all that Andrew was exceptionally emotionally damaged by the rift with his beloved sister, and so Jasper didn't have the heart to tell Andrew about what he had done.



Keeping Secrets

 * "I lied. I lied to everyone for so long I got confused as to who I was anymore. Was this the person that I was now. Someone who skulked around hiding the truth from the only people who had ever meant anything to me? Was I the kind of man that tricked a girl into believing I loved her so that she would keep my dirty secrets? In the end it was always going to come out. Whether the world found out when she started showing, or someone slipped up the news was always going to get out. It was the hopelessness of the lie that made it all the more terrifying."


 * -Jasper Hale

So for nearly a month Jasper lied to everyone, and convinsed Kristen Trachtenburg to lie as well to everyone. The lying continued as Jasper needed to fix Andrew and Alice before he could ever tell Andrew, so with this in mind he went to Alice and attempted to convinse her to talk to her beloved brother. Her words were laced with anger towards Andrew, but also were very cruel to the way in which Jasper as well was living, and Alice openly called out Jasper for the way in which he was running around behind Blake's back with Kristen. Jasper couldn't undestand how Alice could have known so he became irate about Alice telling him how she knew, but she refused and as they begin to yell Andrew appeared in the doorway with true anger in his eyes. For William this must have appeared to have been Jasper being hostile in a physical manner towards Alice, and everyone knew that there were certain things you just didn't do if you wanted William to be rational, and at the top of the list for things you didn't do, threatening Alice was at the top.


 * "I'd known my best friend Andrew for years. Since the days of us both being tykes and thrown into the same little playground I had known him. I'd seen him angry with people over how they treated me or one of the other members of our group. I'd seen him sad over an argument with Alice. I'd seen all of these things but the emotion on his face when he saw what he must have believed was Alice in trouble was something elce. It was a look that sent a chill up my spine because even though he was my best friend and I was his, I was mentally capable enough to udnerstand that if it fell down to it we were all secondary to Alice."


 * -Jasper Hale

Seeing the look on his face, Alice stepped between the two, and basically begged Jasper to tell Andrew the truth, and everything about it because they all needed to come together before the darkness swept over everything. William was overcome with rage, and only the fact that Alice was between them kept him from attacking Jasper where he stood. When Alice looked between the two and realized that Jasper looked uncertain and William looked enraged she spoke softly to her brother, and gently placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Hearing his sister's voice, and having her hand on his shoulder calmed him down immediatly and he sat down in order to hear Jasper tell him whatever truth he had apparently been keeping from him. As Jasper told Andrew about all the things that had been going on, and the fact that Kristen was pregnant he watched as the look of disapointment went across his friends face. While at first they argued in bitter tones to eachother as all the bitterness they felt was poured out on the only other person that could ever understand the pain that they were feeling, Andrew became slowly more angry with his best friend, and the emotional attacks became too much for the two to continue trade at eachother without violence. It would be William making a low blow at a lack of loyalty shown by Jasper that would truly escalate the argument to a new level.



"We trusted you Jasper. You were supposed to be someone that this house could trust, and now you go and do this. You leave my cousin high and dry like some common whore on the street. If this is the person we laid our faith on then our faith was grossly misplaced."

-William Lovie III.

With questions raised against his loyalty Jasper was more hurt then he had ever felt in his life and before either of them knew what was happening Jasper charged his friend and the two of them begin fighting on the floor, and out into the hallway, and they continued to fight until they were pulled apart by Alice. Alice gently held onto William of whom wouldn't pull away for fear of hurting Alice, and before he left Jasper and William spoke one more time that day.


 * Jasper_hale_Gif1.gif"You never have to doubt me Andrew. Your my brother. You were always my brother, and trust me when I say that I take that more serious then anything elce in life. But also trust me when I say that you and I are falling. Were not the people we were meant to be. We can blame this on him all we want but in the end were making choices. Were the ones not making the right decisions, and eventually we have to start or were never going to be able to stop."


 * -Jasper Hale

With that Jasper left the Sky Towers and the two best friends left eachother to cool off for a time. William was consoled by Alice, but for Jasper there was nothing to return to. He returned to his home at the House Hale tower, and realized with absolute certainty that the life he was leading was leading him down a path that he was no longer willing to go down.

Amber Heard II

 * "The Academy was a culture shock for me. I had grown up amongst the nobility of Forks so I understood the intricisies of that culture, but the aristocrats, and noble children of the academy and what they brought was something I just didn't fit into."


 * -Amber Heard II.

Her early time in the academy was filled with learning as she attempted to honor her family by gaining the most out of the experiance as she possibly could. She had been placed into all of William's classes, but despite her obvious interest in him, she was kept away by the bullying of the other girls that seemed to hate her, and the continued relationship of William with several of the same girls. Amber though was falling into a very deep crush on William and despite the constant abuse she took from the girl students of which much of this was led by Britney Hemsworth of whom saw her as a major threat to her she continued to attempt to get to know Andrew. Britney during this time was causing a lot of problems for William and his personal life, and because of this he was growing more sad, and Amber noticed this which made her see an even deeper side of him that few people noticed as they were looking for other things with him. Even as Britney was pushed from the city the simple fact dawned on Amber that he didn't even notice that she didn't arrive at class anymore, and the usually jovial young man was constantly filled with malaise over the things that hung over his life.

Bill Intervenes

 * "Despite my growing affection, and perhaps more for William he never seemed to be within my reach. Each attempt I did with him was met by a tenderness from him, but extreme hostility from the other girls. All that changed when for whatever reason the teachers decided to pair us for everything they could possibly design."


 * -Amber Heard II.

Despite the fact that both of them were attracted to eachother in an extremely strong way, for William the loose ends of Britney Hemsworth, and Leven Martell, alongwith with the arguements with Alice meant that he was depressed, and felt vulnerable at this point. This vulnerability meant that he didn't feel up to corupting a girl that he for whatever reason felt different about then many of the other suitors for his bed. When Bill saw that she and Andrew were not immediatly coming together he went to William and subtly asked him what he thought of Amber Heard, and when he saw his young prince blush he knew that something was there. When he tried to push William on his hesitence to seal the act with her, his son clammed up and the conversation ended without any real responce but Bill had in his own mind finally found the young women that would give his son a child. Bill knew that for whatever reason his son wasn't moving at the speed he usually did and for this reason he decided to intervene at the school, when he had the teachers create numerous group projects of which all combined Andrew and Amber working together in very sexualized assignments.


 * Amber_Heard_Black_and_White.jpg"For a guy who had every women in the school pawning over me, I found myself not wanting to debase her the way I had done all the other girls here. There was an essence of purity in her face, that made it feel wrong to take advantage of her. It wasn't until the moment came that fate seemed to thrust us together that I relented and continued to be the same man I had become. For better or worse I felt something for her, that stilled me inside. I felt something for her that made me want to protect her, and that wasn't something I felt for any girl I had seduced."


 * -Amber Heard II.

The projects begin as simply normal projects that students at the academy did together, and these projects drove the two together into a deeper friendship at first. This friendship helped William to push himself through the depression that he felt about so many bad things in his life, and Amber was the first person even above Alice that he actually verbalized to how much he missed Edward. William at this time was very sad over the numerous arguments that he was having with both Jasper, and his beloved sister Alice and because of this their friendship was allowed to blossom in a scenario that allowed for the usually sexual William to take his time and actually feel something for the girl in front of him. As the two became more and more inseperable the time came where they had a school affair which led to them being forced to anwser questions about their first life experiances. When the question appeared about who their first kisses had been with she confirmed that she had never kissed anyone, and at this realization he couldn't resist anymore.


 * Amber_Heard_Hot.jpg"Looking at her face, and how honest she was with me, I was overcome with emotions that I didn't know still existed in me. I reached out and touched her face and revelled in the calmness that washed over me as she lay her hand against me. I knew in that moment even if I didn't admit it till after she was dead that I loved her. I knew then and their that she wasn't just a fling."


 * -William Lovie III.

When the too broke apart something had changed between the two. The friendship that they had built this moment around remained but the chemistry and sexual tension that had always been there increased to the point that when they walked back he couldn't believe it when he held her hand all the way back to the academy. After this it didn't take long before Amber and William began sexually intimate. When this became clear to everyone around them it became nearly common knowledge that the prince was in love with a girl, and everyone from the commoner farming in Brill to the noble in Lucerne Hold came to obsess over this girl that may have finally tamed the playboy prince. It wasn't until he had invited her to dinner with his family that the true scope of the relationship came to be realized by the one that may have mattered most in the form of Alice. and not long after that the usually playboy Andrew settled into a true relationship with Amber Heard. The two of them grew much closer then Andrew did with Britney Hemsworth and in this way the two were truly in love though its true to say that Andrew took it for granted.

The Winter Ball

 * Amber_Heard_Gif9.gif"The Winter Ball was the last moment that I could point to before she left that I felt anything. It was the last moment for years that my heart felt the love that I felt at the end of that night. Had I of known how little time I had left, I would have done things differently. I would have...I guess...I don't what more I would have done, but I do know that I would have told them both how much I loved them. How much they both meant to me."


 * -William Lovie III.

One of the annual traditions of the Lucernian Academy was the Winter's Ball, and for the two years previous this years William had brought his sister Alice as his date of which he had pretended was an act to melt the girls hearts but in fact it had more to due with the fact that she was younger and without the invitation wouldn't have gone with him of which he wouldn't have. This year because of their fighting being particularlly bad, and the fact that William was for the first time actually in a real relationship he didn't invite her, and on the eve of the dance it appeared that Alice wasn't going to be coming.


 * Amber_Heard_Large4.jpg"I knew of Alice through the rumors. I knew of Alice as the girl that had stolen the heart of the man I loved. I knew of Alice as a girl that clearly loved her brother. And yet the only time I had met her was when I had dinner at the Sky Towers and she didn't say a word to me. I could tell she had wanted to, and it wasn't even under debate how much she loved him and because of that. Because of what she meant to him. Because he deserved that kind of love I would ignore how powerful she was. I would ignore the fact that with a flick of her finger she could send me packing. I would ignore all this and make her see the truth."


 * -Amber Heard II.

At this knowledge it became clear to Amber that she could no longer sit on the sidelines and wait for either Alice, or William to make the first move, and thus she went to Alice a girl that she only knew through the legends of Alice Lovie, and a girl that clearly held the heart of the man she loved with everything in her. She went to the Sky Towers on the night that she knew William was going to be staying with Emmett, and when she arrived she told the gaurd on duty that she wished to see Alice, and knowing who Amber was she was allowed inside without much questioning, and she made her way to Alice's room. When she arrived on her floor she could hear the sounds of crying and when she entered Alice's room she found her huttled in the corner holding onto a bear as if it was the last thing on Earth.



"I didn't know how to make it better anymore. I wanted him to know that I was sorry I had made him upset with me, and that none of it mattered in the end. The only thing I wanted was my brother back. I wanted the person who meant the most in the world to me, to return. I hadn't meant to make him feel ashamed. I hadn't meant to hurt him as deeply as I clearly had. In the end I was just sorry for everything. I didn't care who came out as the winner, and who came out as the loser. I didn't care about anything except letting him know that I was sorry, and that I loved him."

-Alice Lovie

Upon hearing Alice enter she immediatly attemtpted to hide the bear but it was clear to both girls that Amber had seen it, so in the first real communication between the two Amber asked what the significance of the bear was. Alice told her it was a bear that Andrew had given her, and that for her it basically was the one constant reminder of how much her brother loved her. Realizing in that moment how much Alice loved her brother she and Alice came together and talked it all through, and by the time they were done Alice was ready to make the first move.


 * Alice_Lovie-4.png"Jasper and Will weren't even talking on the days leading up to the dance, so it didn't exactly put me in the best of moods. I knew that of all the things in this world that we shouldn't be doing it was fighting amongst ourselves. Something had to change for us. Something had to get better."


 * -Emmett McCarty

For William during this time he remained by the side of Amber, and Emmett of whom was very uncomfortable during this time as he was forced to both choose between his best friends, and at the same was being forced to go to the dance with Lauren Oakheart of whom he hated, and was only there to get a chance at William. Jasper was completely alone at this point and had as said previously even pushed away Emmett, and despite his reservations and attempts to get her away from him, Alice had remained the only one willing to be around him in his depression over his friendship with William crumbling. Alice came to him with the idea that the time was now for them all to get back together, and that the only way it could work was if he invited her as his date. Jasper at this point was a leper amongst the girls of the school because of what he had done to Kristen, and Blake and the fact that noone wanted to upset the prince so he relunctantly said yes to her proposal. Arriving at the ball everyone who was anyone in the academy was their and as William, Amber, Lauren, and Emmett arrived they made their way to their table and prepared to spend the night enjoying eachother's company. The quiet table would be interupted when they found that the two empty chairs at their table were set up for Jasper, and Alice by the two of them arriving at the table and in an act of bravery they both sat down.


 * Jasper_Hale3.jpg"I knew this was them apologizing to me. I knew exactly what their arrival at the table meant, but the problem was with them. My love for them hadn't changed, or diminished with the time we had been fighting. The only thing that had changed was how I felt about myself. At this point I had forgiven them a long time ago, the only person I couldn't forgive was myself."


 * -William Lovie III.

Seeing them both sit down, William shook his head before getting up from the table followed quickly from behind by everyone at the table outside of Lauren who had no idea what was going on. When they finally caught up with him outside he broke down and said he couldn't take it anymore how bad he felt all the time, and he didn't know how to move forward anymore. As the group watched the rock of the group break down Alice lunged forward and took him into a hug which the two maintained for sometime before the whole group begin talking through the problems of the the past. Everyone got everything off their chest that had been bothering them for so long that it had built up into something horrible, and as they talked through it they were all finally able to move past the crimes of the past, and accept that they all needed eachother. As the tension begin to get better, and bonds were reborn somewhat it was a cough from behind them that brought their attention to Edward who had returned from Hogwarts.

On the days that Andrew and Alice couldn't go down to Lucerne proper on their adventures Andrew begin to even take Amber Heard who had a silent enjoyment for taking part in the adventures, but even beyond that she just wanted to spend time with the prince that had her heart. The two would take their little swords and journey down into the city, and unlike on times when he went with Alice the times were more filled with silent contemplation on top of the roofs of buildings they came to enjoy climbing. The two became quite open in their romance as this came to pass, and although Andrew still went with Alice whenever she was able, there wasn't such a deep sadness that he was going with someone other then Alice the way there was when he tried to take other girls he had been invovled with. Their was no jelously between Alice and Amber, and she came to enjoy spending time with Amber on a level that had never even been contemplated between Alice and Andrew's previus girlfriends.

The smooth way that they had come together suffered a bump in the road when Sean's madness was spiked by Bill's evil to attempt a murder of Alice.



The Duel on the Steps
Main Article : Duel on the Steps

In the early days Sean felt rejected by the lack of relationship with his brother Andrew, and his father Bill. This resentment grew in his early days. The only relationship that seemed to have any balance was the one he shared with his sister Alice. This relationship would come to be the only true relationship that Sean had.

While Sean grew to love Alice in an entirely unbrotherly way, Alice was hiding a growing fear towards her brother. To the outside and even to Sean the two appeared close, but for Alice she was hiding the fear deep within her. Unfortunately as they both aged, many in the Kingdom began whispering about Sean having unnatural feelings towards Alice.

Seeing the growing resentment between Sean and Andrew, and feeling his own resentment towards Alice, Bill began forming a plan to remove Alice. Bills only problem was that Sean had a deep, and some whispered taboo love for Alice, and this meant that he had great difficulty in turning Sean. Eventually bill progressed in magical power to such an extent that he formulated a potion to control Sean's emotion. This potion would turn the unusal boy who already harbored some very dark thought's to become unhinged.

"I watched him carefully after I fed him the poison. I had to make sure in his madness he didn't try and harm Andrew. I wanted him to kill Alice, but in his madness he filled his days with raping whores. After he had killed three of them I decided to lower the dose a bit."

-Bill Lovie

Bill watched him the entire time that he basically lost himself in his madness. Sean felt a massive pull to kill Alice, and eventually no matter how hard he tried the pull became too much. He stalked her for days each night he found it more and more difficult to resist the pull he felt to kill her, but each night he used the massive amount of love he had for Alice in order to not kill her. With Bill believing Sean was once again going to fail him, he verbally confronted his young son, and admonished him in front of many soilders, and this had the effect of turning all the restistance, and bitterness about his hate and love for Alice behind him. He now simply felt the inclination to end Alice, as his mind told him that this was the only way to make sure that his father truly would love him, and involve him in thrit plots.

The Stair Case Duel



 * "It was all so much in that moment. It didn't matter that I shouldn't kill him. It didn't matter that there would be some serious consequences in my life if I killed him. None of that mattered for even a second because each and every second my eyes were open I couldn't shake the image of Alice in pain."


 * -William Lovie III.

 * "I watched him carefully after I fed him the poison. I had to make sure in his madness he didn't try and harm Andrew. I wanted him to kill Alice, but in his madness he filled his days with raping whores. After he had killed three of them I decided to lower the dose a bit."


 * -Bill Lovie

Bill watched him the entire time that he basically lost himself in his madness. Sean felt a massive pull to kill Alice, and eventually no matter how hard he tried the pull became too much. It was late at night when Sean saw Alice walking the balcony of her room in nothing but her nightgown. This sexualized position was too much for him and he charged through her door and attempted to rape her. The two scuffled for a time, and the noise they made during their fight woke Andrew and he charged into the room. Seeing the situation and now no longer able to pretend his brother wasn't a monster Andrew started to kill Sean. As he was strangling Sean Alice put her hand on his shoulder and whispered for him to stop. Every ounce of his soul wanted to kill his brother in that moment but he looked to Alice and saw tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't bear to add more pain to her, and thus grudgingly Andrew did stop and Sean ran out of the room. William would hold Alice tight as by this point gaurds had entered the situation and Bill came to room fiegning confusion over what had happened. It was in this moment that Bill saw his daughter in a different light then he had ever seen her before.


 * I don't know what it was about her face when I walked into that room. My mind was filled with the endless lies I had told myself to say to William to make him see my truth, but as I walked in and saw her for a split second I saw something. Hidden beneath her eyes was something I recegnized. I almost fell down, and it was only the arm of Draco holding me up that kept me from falling to the ground. My heart pounded, and I felt this sort of dispair that I couldn't place. Andrew looked at me with a confusion that made me feel worse because it was built on the fact that he couldn't understand why I was sad about Alice being hurt. My son had been so corupted to who I was that he thought that little of me.


 * "My king are you alright?" Draco's words knocked me from my daydreams, and forced me to level my head at him.


 * "My brute of a son has made a mockery of this home." I stopped for a moment and looked at William while I struggled with all my power not to look at her. "He will pay for this my son. You have my word that boy will pay very dearly for this." I knew for the first time how pathetic it sounded to be trying to care for my son while my daughter...I think that was the first time I had instinctily called her my daughter. I guess I always knew she was my daughter, and when formally required I've said it before, but never in my own mind.


 * "Your daughter is lying here broken by your actions, and all you can think of is making me feel better." I felt worse by the fact that I wasn't more hurt by the hatred in his eyes then I was by the actual look he gave me.


 * "Son I had nothing to do with this. I was on a completely..."


 * "You did this to him. Whatever he was, or could have been you ruined with your hatred. At what point do you sit back and just admit to the world the damage you have caused."


 * "Son..."


 * "Just give me an answer for once in your life!" He got up and if her life would flow away without him holding her she got up alongside him still cradling him. "Just one time in your life just tell the truth!"


 * I could have said something. Looking at him with all that raw emotion I could have made things different for us in so many ways. But in the end it came down to the simplest of truths. If I told my truth then he might understand but he would hate me. For me I just couldn't live with the fact that if he knew the complete truth the monster he thought I was would pale in comparison to the monster I actually am. So I did what he probably knew I would do. As I turned my back to the situation and walked out of the room I could just make out the sobs of Alice, and yet again I felt the desire to help her. But yet again I did nothing.

With Bill leaving the situation William told Draco to find Sean, and Draco would tell him that this wasn't the time and that judging from what just happened Bill wouldn't want him to do that. William would attempt to convinse Draco, but despite Draco wanting to do this he was hamstrung by his honor to the king of Lucerne. William would let it rest for a night because even in his hatred and anger towards his brother he knew that the beautiful sister that he loved so deeply needed him more then his vengeance. The rest of the night the two would talk, and Alice would tell Andrew yet again how much she wanted their father to just reach out and say something to her. Even indifference would be preferable to the way he treated her now.



The Duel
Andrew knew that Sean would just try this again so he decided that he needed to so greatly shame Sean that he would leave the city. In order to do this he went to the town crier the next morning and sent out a decree for Sean to duel him the next day. Andrew never believed Sean would show up considering how skilled with a blade that Andrew was.

But when the day did come he stood on the steps of Lucerne surrounded by a massive crowd, and saw Sean walking down the road towards him. As Sean walked towards him Alice begged Andrew to not give Sean the gratification that this fight would give him. Andrew wanted to listen to his sister but when he saw the scarf on her neck he remembered the fear he had that his sister was dead or raped and could not.

The fight went basically as everyone had assumed it would. Andrew and his vastly superior fighting skills brutalized Sean throughout the fight. Andrew threw his sword away towards the end of the fight and beat Sean to within an inch of death as the crowd surrounding them cheered him on.



Return of Edward Cullen
See Also : Edward Cullen

The relationship between Amber and Andrew was put under threat after Bill's final move removed Alice Lovie from the memory of everyone in Lucerne. During these final days of happiness for the group William also saw the return of Edward Cullen one of his best friends who had been gone in Hogwarts for many years. With Edward back Andrew and Amber spent a lot of the time apart, and without Andrew by her side Amber was increasingly threatened by Bill Lovie who wanted her gone in the same moments that he removed Alice.

Edwards return sent the group into a tailspin as Edward had before been there moral compass and thus without him Jasper, and Andrew had become increasingly immoral but with him back he attempted to bring them back to what they were. This conflict between the group slowly worked itself out but for a time Jasper and Andrew refused to even talk to Edward for suggesting they had become different then when they left, and poor Emmett didn't know who to choose so for a period he was all by himself.



Alice Vanishes

"There were so many things I wanted to say to him. So many things that I know if I had been able to say his heart, and mind would have coped better with my departure. He was everything to me. He was my father, my brother, and my best friend and the thought of losing him wasn't something I was ready to accept but if it meant I could have protected him I would."

-Alice Lovie

In a moment that would change the fabric of Lucerne, and most dangerously would completely shatter both Sean, and Andrew Lovie Bill completed his spell that would erase Alice from the world, and in a fit of blind rage ran into Alice's room in the middle of the night and laughed at her because he was about to remove her from Andrew's memory. For a moment Alice wanted to run and get Andrew but still the fear of his death was too much for her to bear, and so she remained calm as her father verbally attacked her. Alice then spent the rest of the night waiting for her beloved brother to return home but he was out with Amber Heard and he didn't return until nearly the morning and when he went into her room to check on her, he found her cradling the doll that he had given her as a child and dried tears running down her face. The site broke his heart and he laid down beside her and held her close as he too fell asleep. Bill Lovie would enter her room in the morning to find his two children knocked out by the power of his spell but even in that moment his arms were wrapped protectively around her, and he had to get Carlisle to come in and assist him in releasing Andrew's grip on her. But his grip was released and they put Alice into a sack, and put her into a wagon where she was brought to rest in Forks and then dumped on the side of the road.



Coma
As Andrew was in a coma the entire Kingdom went into hysterics as the silent hope of the Kingdom was that when Andrew came of age he would save them from the madness of his father, but with his demise that hope was slipping through their fingers. Thousands begin flocking to the Sky Towers to pray for his return, and all attempts to disperse the crowds ended with failure.

During this coma Amber remained by his side the entire time, as she had realized only two days before his coma that she was pregnant with his child. When Amber's presence didn't wake Andrew Bill came to blame her for the coma his son was in, and in this way he began threatening her on a daily basis. At first it was completely shocking and Amber didn't know what to do but eventually he started to become violent and she pleaded with him to stop. The end came when he entered the room with a knife and threatened to kill Andrew if Amber didn't leave the city. She loved him so deeply that she couldn't bear the thought of his death and she agreed to flee the city.

Alistair Irons

 * Eragon2.jpg"He was a troubled young boy that many were beggining to think would become nothing more then his father with more charisma. When I looked at him I saw something different. When I looked at the young prince I saw someone who could change everything that was wrong with this world. I saw someone that was destined to be the greatest of his line."


 * -Alistair Irons

Following his coma he would be clearly lost without Alice though he didn't know that it was her loss that troubled him, and in this way his father would bring in Alistair Irons of his loyalist House Irons who he thought would put Andrew back into line with what he was before. When Alistair arrived he attempted to at first get a lay of what was happening by talking to people around the young prince of which the principle person he spoke to was Draco Highmore of whom told him of how skilled in every way the young prince was but for whatever reason he couldn't put it all together. Alistair watched the young prince from afar as he spent all his time with the group he called the shadow Council, and when he wasn't with them he was constantly finding different girls to spend his nights with. When he finally approached the young prince the two would have the following exchange.


 * Alistair_Irons.jpg walked up to the young man with my plan firmly in mind, and knowing in the back of my mind that this young man was fully capable of having me killed on the spot for my tactic, but I knew this was the only way. Mustering up my courage I stood between him and Leven Martell, realizing the moment I did Jasper nearly vaulted into me alongside Edward, and Emmett. "Is this what you plan to do for the rest of your life?" He looked at me stunned, as the tone of my voice was clearly not one he was used to. "Did you hear my question son, or you too busy being a spoiled little brat to anwser anymore?" That got his back up a bit and he pushed me back, with such force that it took everything in me not to fall down.


 * "You had best watch your tongue old man, or I shall remove it." His friends laughed around him, and it was in that moment I knew he was farther in then I thought and that only dire actions would reverse him. So I did the only thing   I could think of at the time and I slapped him across the face. The moment I did Jasper lunged at me, and I was just able to throw him aside before I stood over the young prince who was holding his face.


 * "That's not pain son. Look around you and you'll see pain. You have a city filled with pain, and yet you do nothing. This isn't the prince I heard of when I was younger. The prince that tried his hardest at everything he ever did. This isn't the kind of person you want to be and I know that." In that moment while his face was hardened and he was ready to attack I saw a spark in his eye that told me he wanted a way out. He wanted to be better, and that was the only indication I needed. "Your better than this, and if you don't believe me then give me the chance to prove it to you."

Following this exchange William would have a silent respect for Alistair Irons of whom would take him south of the city to the House Lovie esate alongside his Shadow Council for an entire month. During this time he would teach the young prince about what it truly meant to be a leader. He was finally able to get through to him that he needed to step forward and start actually making things better instead of just talking about theoretical changes he might make or believed would work if he made them. Alistair would take the four of them along with Levan Martell back to Lucerne where he made them understand that they needed to stick together no matter what, and that only they could make sure that they were all the people they needed to be. So instead of turning William back into the playboy prince that his father had wanted returned Alistair was able to reinjuvinate the young prince into rebecoming the man his sister always thought he could become.

Mathew Clegane

Edward and Mathew's hatred is now legendary but at the time they didn't know eachtoher and it would be their interaction that would create the hatred. This hatred begin when during his time at the Lucernian Academy he flirted openly with Blake Cullen to a point that Edward eventually told him to step back from her and his arrogance made him at first believe that this person was nothing compared to him and thus he chose to ignore Edwards threat. As he reangaged in a relationship with Blake Cullen Mathew's friends there told him that he shouldn't get invovled with Edward as his best friend was Andrew Lovie and that would be a fight you could not or would not win. Despite these warnings he refused to heed their words and thus he was discovered by Edward after he flaunted his romance with Blake in front of Edward's face while he was in the courtyard training with Jasper Hale. Edward at the time had a sword and it took a silent movement by Jasper to take the sword so that Edward didn't use it to kill Mathew, but the removal of the sword only made the two fight with fists, and before long they were full out fighting in the courtyard. As teachers were unable to intervene it took the silent arrival of one person to silence the entire crowd when Andrew Lovie entered the courtyard. After a moment of silence Andrew who at the time was still argueing with Edward about what he had returned for, and said to him but this changed nothing about harming Edward. After Andrew, Jasper, and Emmett picked up Edward they were unable to stop him from challenging Mathew to a duel which he was honor bound to accept, and with that the duel was a forgone conclusion. The outcome of the fight would forever change both men as they both believed that without intervention they would have been victorious, and this remains a point of open contention between the two.



Forks
Main Article : Forks


 * "It was the first city I had ever seen outside of the surrounding area of Lucerne, and I don't know what I expected. From all the talk of my father I guess a burned down husk of a town screaming for my death wouldn't have suprised me at all."


 * -William Lovie III.

When the group arrived at Forks the four of them simply sat and looked down at a massive city that for most of their lives they had not even known had existed. Each of the group spent a moment describing what they knew of Forks, at least what they had heard, and the simple fact seemed clear that they had all been fed a lot of lies over their life to keep them from leaving Lucerne. William told them all a story about how his father had told him that in Forks he had once been forced to put down a rebellion that started after the city wanted to kill him, and his sister. Jasper told him that his grand-father as well as clearly taken the party line and had told him and his sister that the city was a haven of criminals and rebels. At the urging of Carlisle they begin heading towards the town, and it wasn't five minutes after they had entered the main gatehouse that the very well known and expensive armor of the Lucernians was seen on them which caused the people to begin swarming the group in the hopes of finding out who they were.


 * Forks.jpg"You could hear the roar of the crowd from everyone within the city, and like a tidle wave everyone within the city simply moved like they were automated towards the prince they had always dreamed of seeing"


 * -Charles Swan

Andrew didn't know how nearly mythical the Lovie's had become so he simply attempted to calm the crowd by telling them their prince and his best friends were on a journey to visit the Kingdom and that Forks was their first stop. If he didn't know before he knew after everyone in the crowd fell to their knees and remained deathly silent in their awe of the prince that they all hoped would become their King. Before five minutes the entire city learned of the coming of Andrew and it took Andrew begging the people to get up before they would finally stop kneeling to him. With the people back on their feet Andrew and the group waded through the crowd that all attempted to touch the armor of their beloved Prince. As the groups of people all attempted to touch the armor of the prince the gaurd of House Swan, and his bannerman arrived on the scene to clear out the crowds and allow the prince through, but it took some time before they were able to get moving again.

Golden Haired Boy

"His beauty was painful, but it was the way he allowed everyone to touch his armor, and never once did I sence that he hated this or wanted these people to just leave him alone."

-Bella Swan

As she scaled the stairs of the tower of Trelly she looked out of the tower and finally saw the reason for all the commotion, and in that moment she was overcome. While she would never admit it to anyone even to this day during that moment she felt a pull towards the golden haired boy that she had never felt in her entire life. Her mind wanted with everything in her to return to her father's side where this knight was obviously heading to but instead her mind won the battle and simply stared lovestruck at the beautiful golden knight. After five minutes the group had barely moved due to the crowd sheer size and Bella remained in the same spot as she had been. Her only movement came when Alice approached from behind her and she fell startled by her friends arrival. Falling down before getting back up the two watched the group finnally make it out of the crowd after the Forks gaurd, along with the House Swan honor gaurd moved in and created a barrier so that the prince could move through the thousands now lining the streets.



Chance Encounter

 * "Looking back the fear I used to have was just so palpibable. It was as if I would litterly die if I went to see this man that people were calling the most perfect thing they had ever seen. I should have been at his feet praying like the rest of them, but my fear kept me back. Considering how it ended I can't say I regret not going."


 * -Bella Swan

Bella escaped the questioning and badgering of Alice that she go to see the prince, and instead made her way to the blacksmith of her father's loyal banner house House Black to basicalyl hide out. She entered the balcksmith and admittedly spent the next few hours simply walking amongst the seemingly endless stable that surrounded the overall blacksmith. She was about to return home when she heard a commotion from the front of the blacksmith, and when she came out to see what it was she saw that the prince was in the next room talking to Arthur Black the brother of the House Black patriarch.


 * Bella_swan_breaking_dawn_by_harra009-d2zbmca.jpg"Seeing him like that was such a shocking thing, that I felt immobilized in awe. I had wanted to run away, and hide in a hole so deep that noone would ever find me. I had wanted to do anything to get away, but I couldn't move. The moment his eyes met mine, all the remainder of my resistence just flowed away"


 * -Bella Swan

As the two continued talking Bella found herself transixed on the prince infront of her. She was so nervous that she wanted to run away and hide in the stables for the rest of her life, but before her cowerdess could allow her to do this she was spotted by Arthur who brought her precense to the prince of Lucerne.When the two locked eyes Bella had to hold onto a railing to keep herself from falling, and while Andrew had a lot of experiance with women he couldn't bare to not touch this girl in a way he couldn't understand. Andrew thanked Arthur and Arthur quickly removed himself to the pain of Bella whose head was filled with crazy thoughts of love, and marriage. The two talked for hours and came to know eachother rather well, with both telling eachother things they hadn't told anyone elce before. This closeness was interupted by the fact that it was well past midnight and so he had to return to the tavern or Jasper was going to explode from worry. Andrew walked Bella back to Swan Keep before the two parted but made plans to meet the next day at the tavern.



The Tavern Meeting

 * "So much happened in that small run down tavern, that whenever I return to Forks I feel like I have to return there. Had we of stayed at a different tavern I'm sure that eventually I would have found my sister again, but it would have been longer. It would have meant one more minute away from my sister, and that was too much."


 * -William Lovie III.

As the Lucernians arrived in Forks Alice joined her friend Rosalie Hale in her persuit of seeing the incoming group, but as they attempted to leave the tavern the owner slapped Alice in the face and forced her and Rosalie to return and not allowing them to see the group as they arrived. This physical abuse wasn't uncommon so Alice just moved about her business, and acted as if nothing had happened. Alice though felt a sort of connection to something in that group even though she had only seen the brief outlines while looking out the window, and that was more painful to her then any slap she would recieve. Sad about not seeing what was the news of the town she and Rosalie did their best to accept this and went about their work for the rest of the day as positvely as they possibly could. During the day they were shocked when the group entered their tavern and took up seats in the corner.


 * Jasper_Hale5.jpg"When I saw the gleaming armor of the prince's men I couldn't help but stand in awe of these men. So much was spoken of Lucerne, and since I had never been there I was left to my imaginations. They just seemed so polished, and downright perfect."


 * -Alice Lovie

After at first being overwhelmed by attention by the tavern dwellers they were spared further harassment when Rosalie yelled throughout the tavern that they were going to close if they didn't leave the Lucernians alone. Alice spent the rest of the night watching as the group of Lucernians spent time in the corner, and she made the arrangements when a man named Carlisle Cullen introduced himself and basically said that the group needed logdings for the night and they would prefer if they could simply take all the rooms in the tavern. As Alice moved about the business of moving their things to their rooms she came to be helped by a silent young man who introduced himself as Jasper Hale. As the two shook hands on Jasper's insistance they both felt a shock as if something inside them was kismat, and that they recegnized the feeling. They went about their work, but following the hand shake no more words were shared between the two. As Jasper returned to the table he returned to conversation with Emmett, and Edward where he revealed that he felt a connection with the young barmaid. Emmett was far to lost in his lust over the beautiful blond to pay attention to Jasper but Edward was completely listening and had never seen his friend with so much certainty in his eyes since before he had left. As they continued to talk Emmett simply got up from the table without a word and walked over to the counter where once their he begin talking to the blonde barmaid. Edward and Jasper were shocked that the extremely shy Emmett had been capable of something so obvious, and once again a member of the group stepped out of his comfort zone and did something they were not used to doing.



William Returns

 * "Bella said that she was best friends with two of the girls that worked at the tavern, and when I asked how she a noble got to be friends with barmaids she just laughed and shrugged her shoulders. Her nervousness in that moment just made me love her all the more."


 * -William Lovie III.

The flirting between Rosalie, and the conversation between Jasper, and Edward ended the moment the front entrance to the tavern opened and walking through the doors was William Lovie, and on his arm was Bella Swan. When Alice watched her normally dower friend walk in smiling while holding the arm of what she could only assume was the most handsome man in the kingdom she couldn't help but do a double take on the two. For the boys this was nothing new as Jasper and Andrew had girls on their arms all the time, but the way he held her hand was something they hand't seen before as usually it was a more physical connection that Andrew was after. The tavern was at this point basically at full copasity so it was difficult for William, and Bella to see where the group was. As he looked around the tavern for his friends so that they could meet Bella his eyes scanned a tiny brunette girl standing behind the table and for a moment he was completely lost in thought.


 * Alice_Lovie_Small1.jpg"I didn't know what it was but when I caught a look at her it was a moment I cannot explain. I felt a sence of longing that I didn't know existed but it wasn't in a sexual way it was something elce. It was as if this was someone I hadn't seen in a long time and now I was getting a chance to see her again."


 * - William Lovie

Seeing Alice awoke something in William, and at first Bella watched him as he looked at Alice, and she felt nervous that she wasn't good enough but as if he felt her nervousness he tightened his grip on her hand and looked down at her smiling. The smile he gave her wiped away the fear she had, and brought her back to the happiness that she was feeling the moment before. Across the room at the bar Alice nearly dropped the jug of liquid that she was holding and stumbled her way back into the store room to calm herself down. At first she was horrified that she might be attracted to her best friends date, and thus she decided to hide herself away in the storeroom. As William held Bella's hand and walked towards his friends who he had finally spotted he spied the blonde sitting on Emmett's lap and smiled at his friend who appeared to be smitten. He locked eyes with Edward who gave him a knowing smile, and for the first time in a long time he returned Edwards smile, as he believed Edward was happy for him.

The Storeroom Meetings

 * Alice_Lovie_Large6.jpg"I sat alone in the storeroom hiding in the corner behind a box. I wanted with everything in me to go back out there and talk to the boy that had sent electricity through my arm just through a touch. I wanted to know more about who he was, and whether he could ever like a girl like me. But the only real though that flew through my mind, was speaking and seeing the prince again."


 * -Alice Lovie

As the group talked and spent time together Rosalie, and Bella both wondered where Alice had gone too, and Jasper said that she was probably still busy like before. Bella got up from the table and went to see where she might be, and like always her noble stance meant that she was able to walk into the back where she found Alice sitting in the corner of the store room. Bella walked up to her, and sat down beside her and tried to find out what was wrong. Alice lied to Bella and told her she was nervous about seeing Jasper again because she thought she was having strong feelings for him and what was the point of getting involved since she was nothing but a barmaid. Bella looked her in the face and said she was so much more then that, and the group out there would never look at her as just a barmaid. She knew Bella was right but she wasn't ready to see the prince again so she told Bella to ask Jasper if he would come see her in the back room. Alice would hug Bella and tell her she loved her before Bella left to tell Jasper.


 * Bella_Swan_Large4.png"I didn't want Jasper to leave and think I was unhappy or didn't like him, so I thought the only way to see him without involving the prince was to get him to come to me. I'm guessing this would be the first time he chased a girl into a storeroom in his life."


 * -Alice Lovie

Bella would return to the table, and say that Alice was in the back room because the tavern owner had forced her back there so not to bother the customers, and that she wanted to apoligize to Jasper in person. Jasper would immediatly go to the back to see her, and he found her now standing against the wall waiting for him. The two would talk, and eventually they would kiss against the wall before things got more heated, and they would make love. As Jasper and Alice were in the storeroom the group outside continued having a great time, but in the back of William's mind he continued to think of the brunette barmaid that he had seen at the front, but like Alice threw herself into Jasper, William threw himself more and more into Bella. The two continued to talk lovingly and when Rosalie, and Emmett left to go to her room William decided the time was right to take Bella home, and he said goodbye to Edward and left a goodbye for Jasper before holding Bella's hand and leaving with her.

Return

 * Alice_Lovie_Large3.jpg"I had found my escape in Jasper's arms but even he wasn't enough to keep the constant thoughts of the prince out of my mind. I wanted nothing more then to just escape with him, but even after making love I still found myself thinking of him. I knew I had to go out and see him, and thus I took Jasper's hand and followed him out to the table."


 * -Alice Lovie

As Alice and Jasper finished they talked about things, and Alice frankly asked him where he saw this going, and Jasper who was trying to be a good guy after everything he had done in the past told her that he would like to see her again. Alice was skeptical because he lived in a different city, and was a completely different kind of person in terms of importance but looking into his eyes she believed him. This didn't take away from the fact that Alice couldn't get the prince out of her head, and thus when Jasper extended his hand to take her back outside she took his hand and prepared to once again see the prince. When they entered the hall again she noticed the table was barren except for Edward who sat alone at the table drinking his water. When they arrived they learned that William had left with Bella, and Emmett had left with Rosalie, and with this Edward said that he too was going to bed, and said goodnight. Alice in that moment knew she didn't want to be alone, and thus she asked Jasper to stay with her, and he immediatly agreed.

Following his final night with Bella, Andrew met up with the rest of the group, and they went about getting their horses ready to leave.

Meeting Gondor
``I know that your still angry with me but let me tell you about the people your going to deal with.``

``Don`t speak to us as if we know nothing about Gondor.``

``'''You know exactly what you should know for your age. You know that Gondor is a peaceful but worn down kingdom to the east of Lucerne that is populated by a strange non-germanic human population. You know King Aragorn Elessar is the second of his name, and that he has three children of which one will be there tommarow. But do you know anything real.'''``

``We do not have all day father you may have to tell us what you can in a short time.``

``Gondor was founded...``

``Honestly Lord Cullen...``

``Yes Emmett this is all very important.`` He stopped glaring at Emmett and begin looking at the three of us again. ``'''Gondor was founded following the Downfall of Numeron of which you know somewhat about. Gondor as time went on lost more and more ground to the Orcs of Mordor, and these Orcs are led by the Dark Lord Sauron. This Dark Lord convinsed many of Gondor`s allies to turn on them and this all culminated in the Gondor Civil War. Brother fought brother, and Gondor bled for years. In the end Aragorn`s father the king would die alongside many in his family and thousands of others until finally Mordor was defeated. Aragorn was crowned king following that great victory. That was some two hundred years ago.'''``

``So he is hundreds of years old.``

``'''You knew the Numenorians were long lived but what they do not speak of in our lessons are the fact that the Numenorians are more then long lived. They do not die by any amount of years passing them by. It is important to know that Gondor while ancient and strong fights against enemies on all sides, including ours.'''``

``So they are besieged now by Mordor.``

``They are my prince.``

``So what help can they offer if they are as weak and defeated as they are.``

``'''They may be low, but they can still muster thousands of men at arms and cavalry. If we help them we may erase the damage of your father`s war against them many short years ago'''.``

Meeting Brooke Scott
Main Article : The Journey



With elements of House Martell, and House Shephard entering the area outside the main gate and communicating with the defenders there was no more doubt about what had transpired on the part of the defenders. The entire city was abuzz, with news that the Prince of Lucerne was heading into the city. Brooke would join Haley, and Peyton in gathering the nobles and the entire population to prepare for the entering of the prince, of whom they all knew had saved them from certain death. For many including Brooke this would be their first look at a member of the Royal Family, and for others including Dan Scott this was a chance at getting to know what kind of future king they were looking at. On top of just seeing a member of the revered royal family they were also going to meet the man who had saved them all from death or slavery.



When he entered the city he was mobbed by the crowd, and it took many minutes before he reached the town hall where the Scott Family waited for him. It's said that when she looked at him she fell instantly in love with him, and it appears that the feeling was mutual. This provided a deeply troubling situation for the prince as he had already proposed to Bella Swan back in Forks, under the pretense that his love for her was the greatest he could ever feel. Brooke watched him as he moved towards her father and shook his hand before Dan introduced the entire remnents of House Scott to him. As Dan moved down the line and finnally reached the spot where Brooke was the situation became different and as Andrew took her hand to kiss the top of her hand, the two became locked in eachother embrace for a moment and only a slight shot to the back of Andrew from Jasper moved Andrew along. Despite moving along he was lost in his mind over the image he had gained of the beautiful girl. As he followed Dan Scott into the Scott manor he hoped and prayed that she would join him, while at the same time he also knew that it was a dangerous game, and she was the kind of girl that he could see himself going to war over. The silent looks, and held kisses was something that passed by the majority of the members of House Scott but one number that didn't ignore it was Lucas Scott, of whome immediatly thought he had a crush on me.

​Falling for the prince


Dan Scott during the meeting would declare to William that he had been sent a letter by Bill Lovie apologizing him for bringing the Orcs to destroy Tree Hill, and what William read in the letter made everything up to that point just so much more clear, and from that moment on there was no more doubt about what his father had done. As the meetings ended Brooke's father Dan had by this point seen the looks that were being constantly shared between the young prince and his youngest child, and in this moment he also knew that Andrew was involved with Bella Swan of House Swan. With this in mind Dan wanted to make sure that he was able to get House Scott into a higher position and what better way then if his daughter became invovled with the prince. In order to sucede at this he told Andrew that he had important business to attend to but that his lovely daughter Brooke would be more then happy to show him around the town. Both of the young adults just kind of stared at eachother with Andrew understanding that he may not be able to control himself around her, and Brooke wanting desperatly for him to be with her.



The two walked around the town, as Andrew got to know the girl that he couldn't understand why he felt such an uncrontollable pull towards her. As they walked together the conversation was simply, but it wasn't the conversation that changed things it was the moment that Andrew felt the pull so strong that he moved his hand towards hers and gently rubbed his hand up and down her hand. When he did this she looke up at him through her eyelashes and they both knew that resisting had ended for Andrew and he had relented. With this gesture from him, Brooke saw her chance and grabbed his hand and they walked from that point on hand in hand. As they reached the last spot that Brooke thought she could even explain to him, she was scared that this would be the end and that she wouldn't see him anymore unless she did something drastic. She couldn't know that at the same time she was worried it was going to end, Andrew was feeling the same fear, and so together in that moment she made the decision to go for it. She grasped his hand tighter and told him that there was one last thing that he needed to see before the tour was over. She led him towards the ruins of the front esate of House James which she knew would be empty because they were having celebetory dinner with her father.

The two would enter the ruins of House James, and as they walked the grounds they would continue talking but the electicity between them was too much to resist. William would be the first to move and he put his hand to her cheek and after this they two would kiss. The kiss would become heated and the two would make love in the ruins, and despite knowing the political consequences of the action he couldn't resist what he was feeling for her. Brooke would lead him back to the city, where the two would join the celebrations that were taking place, and despite attempting to remain secretive there shared looks and smiles throughout were noticed by many including more then just Lucas this time. Jasper would take William aside and get him to tell him the truth and after at first lying to his best friend he came clean after seeing the hurt in Jasper's eyes over being lied too. Realizing he had to help his friend Jasper convinsed him to keep it a secret, and made him understand that his bethrothel to Bella was beyond stopping at this point. Saddened but realizing the truth William and Jasper would find Leven, Emmett, and Edward and meet as the Shadow Council to discuss their next moves. At the same time Brooke was taken aside by Lucas of whom told her the thing she dreaded to hear when Lucas let her know that William was bethrothed to Bella Swan. Breaking down into tears at the feeling she had been betrayed by William she stormed out of the room with her brother and went to find William.



Brooke ran out of the room and quickly found Carlisle Cullen of whom she knew was Williams advisor of sorts. Telling Carlisle that she had word for him from her father Carlisle told her that he was meeting with his friends in the camp. Making her way to the camp she would find the prince still in the meeting and she barged her way past Ellia Snow and the four other gaurds in place to make sure noone entered. Entering the room she discovered him laughing with Leven in the corner and immediatly begin crying which brought the attention of everyone in the room especially William. Seeing her cry broke his heart and he rushed to her side taking her outside the tent and rushing her to his personal quarters followed closely behind by the Shadow Council, and his personal gaurds. Making his way inside she broke down and he held her as she cried, while outside Jasper kept everyone from intervening telling them that William had to deal with this. William and Brooke would talk and he laid everything on the table for her, making her understand that he loved her deeply and that despite only meeting hours before he knew they were fated, but on the same note he said that he couldn't break his bethrothel to Bella. Brooke in that moment hated Bella more then she believed she had hated the Orcs as they butchered the city, and she made the decision in that moment that despite her love for him she had to step back and give him space. William told her that he would return and see her and that feeling what he had felt with Brooke he believed that what he had felt with Bella was nothing compared to their connection.

I pushed past a Violet haired girl that didn't seem impressed that I had done that, and walked into the tent. Entering the tent I saw the large boy, and Jasper standing in the corner looking onto a table, while a lanky robed young man stood behind them trying to look as well. It wasn't until I heard his laughter that I realized he was in the corner with a beautiful blond girl who I knew from the initial meeting was a Martell. Was she another of his girls on the side? He had seemed so sincere when we had spoken, I just couldn't believe that he was here laughing with his next conquest while I was broken utterly and completely.

I let out a sob and he looked over at me followed by everyone else in the room. I wanted to yell at him. I wanted to hit him and make him feel the pain that I felt being betrayed in this moment, but I couldn't. No words, or movement came from my body or mind, and I watched crying helplessly as he nearly ran to me and pulled me through the tent and back into the open. I could hear the sounds of shouting but all I could concentrate on was the feeling of his hand on my shoulder, and the way he nearly carried me wherever he was taking me. "Everything with be alright Brooke."

"You lied to me William how could...how could any of this be alright?" He made a left down the paths of tents and pulled me past more gaurds and stunned faces into a larger tent then I had ever seen before.

"I'm sorry that I lied to you Brooke, but I knew if I told you then...If I told you the truth you would have passed me by." There was a vulnerability in his eyes that confused me. This was a stark contrast to the confident and centered prince that I had seen up to this point.

"I would have pased you by because your taken. Your taken and now I'm ruined." I fell forward and he caught me and brought me to rest on his shoulder. As I cried I could hear the voice of someone outside the tent making everyone understand that everything was fine and noone was entering the tent. I had never thought much about my first time. It was always something I didn't have to worry about as a noble girl. My father would pair me with someone, and that person would have me as he pleased on our wedding night. It was all so simple until I saw him.

"I'm sorry that I betrayed you, but you have to know that I care for you deeply." He looked at me and I believed him. Either he was the greatest liar that ever lived or he was telling the truth. "I thought what I had with Bella was fated. I met her and I guess I didn't know what love felt like because I thought that was it. I thought that was love until you and I were together."

"What am I to do now William. I can't picture myself with anyone else now. How could I? You tell me what I'm supposed to do?" He looked conflicted. A part of me wanted him to tell me to think of him no more. It would have made things so much easier if he had just cut the cord right there. It was only a part of me that wanted that though. The main part and the part that was ruling over my decisions wanted him to beg me to wait. Tell me that we would meet in secret, and eventually he could divorce the Swan and marry me.

"I don't know Brooke."

Return to Lucerne
Janos Flynt was in a position that was only a step beneath his brother Tavin Flynt of whom was running the city watch as the commander. On the days following the liberation of Tree Hill news begin to filter into the city that William was on his way to Lucerne and was planning on removing his father from power. While during this time Bill Lovie made no effort to control the city watch so that they would defend the city, his young son Sean Lovie did attempt to stop his entry. The liberation of Tree Hill was the moment that Sean understood that Andrew would return to Lucerne and attempt to remove his father, and most likely kill him. This wasn't something Sean could allow so he begin ordering the gaurds of the city to stop Andrew from entering the city. He mainly was giving these orders to Tavin Flynt of whom had always retained the belief that he was loyal to House Lovie first and then the Kingdom thus he made the choice to stand beside Sean Lovie, and Bill Lovie. This decision was met with rumblings throughout the city watch as most wanted William to be victorious but his control over the top echolons was powerful, and most believed he had the support of his brother Janos Flynt of whom was the most influencial member of the city watch. As William was one day away from Lucerne Janos Flynt would approach his brother and attempt to talk him out of his decision.

City Watch Coup

 * "I had the commanders in my ear. I had the men on my side. I thought I knew who my brother was. I guess that was the only part of the equation that I had wrong."


 * -Janos Flynt

Janos Flynt had the support of the vast majority of the city watch when he approached his brother with the idea of doing what was right and allowing William Lovie into the city. Janos expected that his brother would listen to his advise and everything would be fine but instead Tavin called on men of his gaurd to arrest Janos for treason, and when he did this Janos realized that there wasn't going to be any convinsing him, so before he was put under arrest from the gaurds he unsheathed his sword and slashed his brother across the neck killing him almost instantly. At the death of Tavin the gaurds stood down and basically switched loyalties almost immediatly. Following this Janos would go throughout the various city watch commanders and make sure everyone was with him, and when he was sure they were he gave the command for William to be allowed into the city. William would enter through the vast gates of Lucerne alongside his force, and Sean Lovie would watch from the first gate as his brother approached a position he believed was blocked to him. Sean ran to the city watch command and demanded to see Tavin, but found information that Tavin had been murdered and Janos was now in charge of the city watch. Realizing he had failed to resist the entry of William Lovie he fled to the Sky Towers where he planned to use the Sky Tower forces to hold off William while he hoped his father would gather supporters. Finding that none of the supposed loyal vassals of House Lovie remained on Bill`s side despite his fathers belief that they would have supported his rule over his upstart son, and thus Sean panicked and begin abusing the few remaining lower ranked nobles that had come to the Sky Towers to show their support.

Entering the Sky Tower

 * "I knew William my whole life, and I had known Sean Lovie my whole life. Both of them were who they were, and the problem for Sean was that he was a terrible human being. The time for honor was later, I needed to protect William."


 * -Barrett Ahren

As William Lovie attempted to enter the Sky Towers Sean Lovie gave the House Lovie forces the command to stop him at all costs but by this point noone was listening to him, and the order wasn't accepted by the head of the House Lovie Sky Tower gaurds in Barrett Ahren. Sean discovered that they too were unwilling to stop the prince from coming, and begged his father to tell him how they were going to get out of this but his father just sat at his desk waiting for William to enter the room. When William entered the room he did so flanked by Hedrik, Franklin, Edward, Jasper, and Emmett and they found his father sitting at his desk writing on papers, while Sean stood in the corner of the room looking very uncomfortable. William would acuse Bill Lovie of treason and make him very much aware that he was now the King in everything but name, to which Bill Lovie stood up and responded with the following.

My brother held for a moment holding the door, and as he stood their transfixed on the door handle I put my hand to his arm. Feeling my hand on his he looked back and smiled back at me before pulling the door open to reveal the contents of the room I had never been allowed to enter in my entire life. My father sat behind a massive desk, while the pathetic image of my brother Sean leaning in the corner of the room looking like a small child. Sean looked like the same pathetic boy he had been on the last day I had seen him, and it pained me to remember now all he had done. On a scale of evil he was up there with the worst monsters, and yet somehow when you looked at him now he looked so small.

William entered the room flanked to his left by Jasper, and Hedrik, while on his right Edward, and Emmett moved forward. I stood transfixed staring into the room until finally Franklin gently grabbed my arm and led me into the room to stand behind William. If he noticed that I had entered he didn`t make any signs of caring he just stared at William. Sean on the other hand saw me and a twisted smirk moved across his face to the point that I moved closer to William looking for the protection that he offered me.

``'''My victorious son returns with his brave Lords. I rejoice at your great victory at Tree Hill son.'''`` My father was anything if not a brilliant menipulater of men, but even that seemed foolish. My brother`s victory left him in a position of little hope, and yet when you looked at his face he did look genuinly proud to see his son.

``'''The time for your lies is long past its end. I have learned the truth about what you have done father, and the time has come to pay for crimes.'''``

``So you come as a gaurdian of the realm then.`` He rose from the desk and moved in front of it to sit gently on the front. Seeing him closer he wore the armor of his father James, and even his madness you could see the royal look he carried.

``'''I`ve come for justice for the thousands of people you have either killed or terrorized. I come to avenge the wrongs you have done to this Kingdom. I come make you pay for everything you`ve ever done.'''``

``And yet your point is sullied by bringing that bastard girl.``

``You will never speak of her again do you hear me.`` William stepped forward and I grabbed at his cloak to keep him close while Jasper and the others also stepped forward to protect their prince. I actually couldn`t believe it still hurt me to hear the distain in his voice towards me, but it still hurt my heart to be so unloved by my father. A tear fell down my cheek and I grabbed again at his cloak and he turned as if realizing I was crying. Gently wiping his hand on my face he smiled at me conveying the love he held for me, and how much he was capable of I felt safer.

``That will be your undoing my son.`` The words from my father turned William back towards him, and as pathetic as it was I moved closer behind him nearly hugging his back.

``What do you blather on now.``

``'''Your love for that girl is going to be the one thing your enemies will use to their advantage. Don`t you understand that I sent her away because she was weakening you.'''`` He spoke as if it was the most honorable act he could have ever done, and yet the sheer scope of what he had was beyond grasping.

``'''Use whatever excuses you want but this ends here. Your time here is at an end murderer.'''`` The moment William said murderer it was as if Bill had been struck with the most painful strike in the history of mankind. Falling back onto his desk he looked back with a horrified look on his face.

"I’ve seen horrors. Horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me…It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies…" It was the sad ramblings of a man with nothing left, but as the tears flowed from my father`s face I felt a tinge of empathy for the sadness that must have driven this once great man to fall so far as to hate his children, and turn the Kingdom into a hellish place.

``'''The time for your talking is over. Jasper, Hedrik please take my father into custody and Sean it is...'''`` Before he could finish my father broke out into hysterical crying and fell to his knees before William. Moving that close to William Jasper grabbed ahold of him almost immediatly and shielded William.

"'''There they were in a pile, a pile of arms, and I remember, I…I…I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond, a diamond arrow right through my forehead. And I thought, ‘My God, the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than me because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were orcs — trained warriors. These orcs who fought with their hearts who have families, who have children, who are filled with lust for battle – that they had the strength, the strength to do that. If I had ten divisions of those Orcs, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill – without feeling, without passion, without judgment – without judgment. Because it’s judgment that defeats us.'''" After that madness filled rant Bill recoiled from Jaspers grasp and ran behind the desk.

``There`s nowhere to go...its over father.``You could tell this was breaking William as he watched the man that had been his father for his entire life fall apart. This wasn`t like it was for me or Sean as father had never loved or cared for us in any real way, this was true pain. For his entire life his father had loved and cared for him, and now was the final moment of his time with him, and I felt his pain wash over me.

``'''The day may come son, when this is at an end. I see my end in the stars son, but know that while it is my blood that lays the final blow, it will not be you. You will be far far away when I finally get the judgement that you wish of me.'''``He stopped for a moment and looked briefly at Sean, and then William before stopping at me. ``'''I`m sorry that my plan failed in the end. I`m sorry that everytime I looked at you I couldn`t find any feeling but resentment. He always loved you in a way that he never did me, and I...I just...I just hated you for it. I see now that you were never my daughter in the end. I see now that you William were the only child I was ever meant to love...and I failed even that.'''``

``'''Its time father. Take him away...'''``As he finished Bill took a blue stone out of his pocket, and with another look at his children he clasped the blue stone and disapeared into nothing. Too shocked to say anything we were knocked out of our shock by Sean stepping forward holding a green stone. Sean stared at William laughing and as William lunged forward at him Sean too clasped the stone, and disapeared into nothing.



Bill went on a series of rants and Andrew rejected this logic, and prepared to arrest Bill and place him in jail, when all of a sudden Bill broke out into histerical crying. After litterly crying for nearly a minute Bill finally begin blabbering about different things of which none appeared to make sense until finally Bill begin discussing the Battle of Lyons. Bill told Andrew of how there were piles upon piles of bodies, and he knew that the Orcs were greater then he was. With that speach done Bill took out of his pocket a blue stone, and told Andrew that the day he might bring justice against him would come at some point but it wasn't today as today he was going to leave to the safety that the stone provided. In a single moment Bill disappeared and teleported to the location the stone sent the user. With Bill gone it was just Andrew and Sean and the two stood transfixed at eachother, and then as suddenly as a man shot with an arrow dies, Sean went to his pocket and pulled out a green stone and then disappeared into nothing.



Civil War
Main Article : Lucerne Civil War

With the valley clear of Bill, and Sean Lovie Andrew went about attempting to gain control by eliminating those that were loyal to his father, but most of all he declared war on his father's supporters and very soon after doing this he came to understand that Sean Lovie had taken control of the city of Berne which he didn't even know existed. With this knowledge Andrew rallied the Order of the Red Dragon and sent a large force to besiege Berne. When his forces arrived there he they saw that Berne was a death trap, and that while they could feasably attack the city the casualties would be horendous and on top of that they might not even sucede. Knowing this Andrew ordered them to dig in, and make sure no assistence came from land. With the front door shut Andrew went about his plan to take control of Berne. Andrew devised a plan where they would complete the underway in its route to Berne and thus they would break in behind the defences and take the city from within. This unfortunatly would take some time, and so he needed to block the front of Berne without having his army sitting there for the four years the underway would take to complete.

In order to do this Andrew sent emmisarries to meet with the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas whose forest extended to the bounderies of Berne and thus would be able to block them in if they so chose to do. When his emmisaries arrived they found that Quel'Thalas was willing to do this in return for an alliance with them which Andrew was quick to give them. So with the front door closed his forces returned to Lucerne while a small contingent remained along with a larger force of the Elves of Quel'Thalas.



Ezio Ederiz

 * "There were two option when it came to Ezio Ederiz. Option one was that he was a trap. Sean had sent him to make us believe him and we would be caught in a trap of his making. Option two was that he was telling the truth. If this was correct then we couldn't just ignore him, but the real question was how would we ever know until it was too late to turn back."


 * -William Lovie III.

Ezio enclosed in the message the entirety that he knew about the defences of Berne, and a message that the city was ready to be joined with William. He had hoped that if he gave as much information that Andrew would still attack even if he didn't believe Ezio, but he also understood the distinct possiblity that William wouldn't believe him and would just continue to siege the city. Ezio waited at the tower for some time alongside the rebels that he had gained control of, and waited patiently for a response. He got his anwser when a Lucernian messenger approached the tower, and sent a letter up to Ezio. In the letter Andrew told Ezio that he needed to come down from the tower so that they could discuss this, and that no harm would come to him if he did this. For all Ezio knew Andrew was his fathers son and thus suffering from the same madness as his brother, but he knew he had to do something so he trusted the devil he didn't know over the mad man that he did. Ezio gave command of the tower over to his top man in the form of Martin Arryn of whom had snuck his way into the tower and convinsed the men to join the rebellion.


 * ORDER_OF_THE_Golden_Dragon.jpg"I felt fear being pulled alongside those golden armored men. This whole thing just reminded me why I didn't get personally involved in these political matters. As I regretted my decision to put myself in this kind of danger I remembered the brave look in Amber's eyes as she surrendered herself to save her child. If she could have that kind of strength then I could, and would do everything in my power to save her."


 * -Ezio Ederiz

When Ezio got to the bottom of the tower he was grabbed by some five men all clad in golden armor, and these men escorted him to the Lucernians camp. One of the men idetified himself as James Junnsworth and told Ezio that if he planned to harm the kind he would be doing it over all of their bodies. When he arrived at the camp he immediatly knew which one Andrew was when he saw the golden haired boy walking up to him in his magnificant armor. Restrained by the men around him he saw how little he was trusted by the arranged forces, but he wasn't bitter as he could understand their fear. He spoke as best he could and told Andrew of what was happening inside the fortress, and that every day they delayed the citizens inside were being killed in ever increasing numbers. As the conversation continued Ezio accompanied Andrew inside his tent with Jasper and then spoke openly of the murder of Allison, the rapes, and for Andrew the most horrifying news that Amber Heard was captured and now held in a cage beside Sean's throne.



Infiltrating the tower

 * "For whatever it was worth I believed him. I looked in his eyes and it told me that he was being truthful. In this world you really have to trust your gut, and my gut was telling me to go all in on this."


 * -William Lovie III.

With Ezio done telling him what was happening William told him he needed some time to think and that while he trusted him, he needed to plan on the best way forward. Ezio told him that he had control of the first tower, and thus he could get some of Andrew's men inside that tower if that would make him feel better about the whole thing. Andrew liked this plan, and it was then that he asked whether or not Hanna Arryn, and her sister Aria were safe inside the city, and Ezio told him that House Arryn was now in hiding in the city outside of Byron Arryn who was being forced to sit and watch Allison's body be violated by Sean Lovie. Andrew was thankful that Hanna was fine, and because of this he told Ezio that he would have his anwser in an hour. With that Andrew called in his commanders and they discussed their options about how to move forward. After talking for some time it became clear that they needed to gather more troops, and especially Andrew wanted to have some of his up and coming leadership involved so that they would feel important to him. He planned to travel to Forks where he would meet with these leaders and make them aware of their involvement and then they would launch the attack. He got Ezio back in the tent, and he told him that he needed to allow his men to take control of the first tower, and that this would amount to his test of loyalty. Ezio agreed without hesitation and left with Jasper to make the arrangements.



Meeting in Forks
"It took days to travel to Forks, and days to travel back to Berne, and thus it's hard for me not to wonder what might have been had we of just moved against the fortress with just House Lovie's forces. Atleast I got to see Bella, and it was in the comfort that she offered me that I knew exactly why she was the one for me."

-William Lovie III. After talking to Ezio and having silently infiltrated the first tower with his help Andrew accepted that this was the only plan that had any quick hope of success. In order to do this he needed the most elite force he could get, so he begin calling his banner houses in, as well as commanding several houses travel to Forks to meet him. All the houses that had been called clearly had to send representitives but when they arrived this mission clearly could be seen as a silent attack that didn't require huge numbers. House Clegane, House Swan, House Scarlet, and House Lovie were the houses that would be leading the attack along with leadership from many other houses in Lucerne. As Andrew waited for Bella to arrive so that he could see her, he spent many hours talking with the leadership of the houses that were going to be involved of which included Hedrik Clegane of whom he wanted to one day be a very important figure in the Kingdom of Lucerne. In his talk with Hedrik Clegane he and Hedrik discussed how Andrew was trusting heavily in this traitor of the True Sons of Lucerne, and also discussed how his older lover Amber Heard had been captured likely as a last minute threat to William in order to make him turn back. It was late when Bella arrived in Forks, accompanied by Emmett and when they did he said his quick hellos to Emmett for he and Bella made their way to stay in room in the House Swan estate of which he was technically a member of House Swan. After being together romantically he talked openly about how scared he was of seeing Sean there, and also he feared that he was going to be made to make a choice in that final room between killing Sean and keeping his old friend Amber alive. Bella already knew of the old relationship between the two, as Alice had told her of this long ago, and because of this she undertood that he cared for this girl, but he loved her. Bella tried to make him feel better about it, but there really wasn't much you could say to that horrible of a situation so she just held him while he went through it all with her. The next day he had to leave, and he said his goodbye to Bella before travelling with the main force back to Berne where upon his arrival the Lucerne Civil War would end one way or another.

Berne.pnging Inside
When William Lovie arrived back at Berne flanked by the forces of House Swan, Scarlet, Clegane, and many of their vassals he entered the command tent and prepared alongside his commanders the method by which they would do this. Ezio told them that the only real way into the valley of Berne was to take control of the towers defending the passes, and this was possible since they controlled the first tower. From the first tower they would attack the second tower, and then the third, and fourth control towers which would allow them to bring the entire army into the Valley where the defenders would be unprepared for their entry. Once this was achieved they must take control of the fifth tower which was inside the City of Berne itself and was connected through a long tunnel which could be locked from the inside meaning if they failed to take it before they were noticed it would be shut and they would have to attack the main walls. With this plan in place William Lovie would send the forces of House Scarlet led by Darion, and Saiden Scarlet to enter the First Tower where they would push their full forces and they alone would be responsible for working alongside the rebels in order to take control of the towers. They would be assisted by the Order of the Golden Dragon of whom was forced to follow William Lovie of whom was going to assist here alongside Edward Cullen and several members of the Order of the Blue Dragon, as well Hedrik Clegane would convinse Andrew to let him join the forces attacking the towers.



Battle of Berne
Main Article : Battle of Berne


 * "The Towers all held so many moments where everything could have gone terribly wrong. It was by the shere luck of the dragon that we were able to sucede as easily as we did."


 * -Saiden Scarlet

With the main force now preparing to enter the first pass into Berne they only needed to see the responce from the second tower to know when to move in, and they would get that call the first night as they would be signaled by a flag hanging from the wall set out by the tower forces. The Tower forces would wait until night, and that night as they moved forward the few gaurds meant to make sure such infiltration of the towers were not possible were rebels and thus they allowed the tower forces to infiltrate the towers, and within they found the mercenary forces of Sean Lovie in the form of the Stormblown. The fight for the tower was swift as with most of their forces asleep the few on sentry duty found themselves being attacked by a huge number of troops flooding into the tower. As the Stormblown moved to raise the alarm they found the alarm room locked, and when they finally broke inside they found inside several rebels of whom killed the Stormblown that tried to enter the room. With the tower taken Hedrik Clegane III. would raise the flag thus giving the main force the safe call to enter the first pass. At the third tower they would basically be allowed in as the rebels had taken complete control over this tower, and the few members of the Stormblown that were present inside the tower were barely able to get out of their beds before they were killed by the vengeful rebels and the incoming Lucernians.


 * Oskar_Kinner.jpg"I watched each flag go up and each time a piece of me felt better as I knew my king was safe for yet another moment. It was his bravery that made people love him, but in these moments his braveary was horrifying for those of us who were forced to watch from afar."


 * -Joshua Jackson

The fourth tower was the true test of the attack as while it was held by the forces of House Krinner who was a member of the rebellion the tower held the largest contingent of the Stormblown outside of the city itself. As the Lucernians made their way into the tunnels approaching the fourth tower they were spotted by a Stormblown soldier of whom alerted the rest of the force to a betrayal, and with this becoming clear the forces of House Krinner would assemble under the command of Danzal, and Benjamin Krinner of whom defended the tunnel route heading towards the fifth tower so that none of the Stormblown could warn their comrades, and inside the tower House Krinner under the command of Oskar Kinner the defenders would block the gate into the alarm room thus preventing for a time the forces of the Stormblown from gaining entry to the alarm. A fierce battle would commense between the defenders in House Krinner and the Stormblown. As the forces of Lucerne attempted to enter the fight they were forced to attack through defended barriers quickly set up by the forces of the Stormblown in order to resist the attackers. During the fighting here Davion Scarlet would become famous for defeating the Stormblown second in command in single combat after they entered the last room of the tower and it was held by the Stormblown second in command. With his death the rest of the Stormblown slowly surrendered, and with that the flag was raised and the main army understood that the way into the valley was clear.

The Fifth Tower



 * "The Sound of that horn going off could have meant the masacre of our entire force. It could have meant the deaths of thousands but the bravery of the three Arryn brothers. They could have stayed hidden and not risked death but instead they did what was right and resisted a tyrant and they saved thousands. History may say that I won that day but I know the truth of who was responsible for our victory."


 * -William Lovie III.

As the main army moved into the valley silently in the darkness of the night the tower forces moved into the tunnels approaching the fifth and final tower. Ezio had told them that they had to get to the other end without being stopped or elce the way would be blocked and there would be no way in except a truly visious fight for the valley. As they entered the tunnel and were only two minutes away everyone including the main force heard a massive horn go off, and the rebels told William that someone had set off one of the alarms of the towers. With this all sence of stealth went out the window and the tower force charged into the tunnel in the hopes of reaching the gate controls before it was shut. As they ran down the tunnel they watched as the masive porticul gate was slowly shutting, and then suddenly as they were getting closer it slowed and then stopped and they could hear the cries of battle at the other side, and as they reached it they entered a brutal battle between members of House Arryn and the Stormblown who were trying to shut the gate. With the entry of the Lucernians the battle went away from them, but the Stormblown surivors were able to retreat in good form and make their way towards the Berne Keep where they would blow the alarm horn again and the Stormblown throughout Berne would retreat to the keep alongside those still loyal to Sean Lovie. With the stormblown in full retreat the defenders that were on the wall moved completely into the rebellion allowing the main force to enter through the front gate, as the rebels opened the gate letting them inside. The rebels, and the tower forces would move throughout the city, and kill or capture anyone still flying the colors of the Stormblown and as well as this making sure that everyone knew that the city was Lucernian again and they had nothing to fear.

Duel with Sean Lovie



 * "Forgiveness is never easy. Bitterness is easy. Hatred is easy. But forgiveness, that's a tough one. Sometimes, people say things they don't mean or do things they can't take back. Sometimes we do things we can't take back. So we feed ourselves to starve the pain. I have to believe that's what happened to Sean."


 * -William Lovie III.

With the civil war all but over the moment had come for the final confrontation with his brother. There wasn't really a doubt in anyone's mind who would win in a fight the difficult part of the coming fight was the fact that Sean had the emotional advantage through his capture and hostage taking of Amber Heard the first love of Andrew. The room before the throne room was gaurded by James Nighting II. of whom laughed at them for not realizing that House Nighting was truly on the side of the True Sons of Lucerne. James and the three House Nighting men that were with him charged William and his group, and after a brief fight the four were killed by the far superior forces of William. Jasper held James down, and with a wave William commanded his death and Jasper ended his life. Surveying the rest of the room there were bodies stacked in the corner, of which not all were adults, and the the scope of the attrocities in this city were becoming clear. William before entering the throne room ordered Wilheim Martell to return to the camp at all speed and send word that House Nighting had betrayed them. They all knew that if House Nighting turned then who knew what sort of alliance might be present outside of Berne and with a large quantity of the loyalist forces besieging Lucerne they could be open for a betrayal. When Andrew entered the throne room of Berne flanked by Jasper, Edward, Emmett, and his elite gaurd they found Sean standing alone with nothing but the bound and strapped form of Amber Heard keeping him company.


 * ``He sat the way you would expect any pyschopath to be sitting when they were idle. He just had nothing in his eyes, and I had to try to force my mind to even remember a moment that he didn`t look that way. My brother was gone. He was lost into madness, and no matter what he said he couldn`t leave this room alive. After all the years and the pain he was going to pay for everything he had ever done.``


 * -William Lovie III.

As he entered the room Sean remained silent but the look on his face told Andrew that Sean had a plan and whatever happened this plan was something he believed could work. Amber Heard never thought she was going to survive to see William again, and the sight of him caused her to leap up and this led to great pain as the chain around her neck kept her stationary. Laughing at what had happened to Amber through the fact that she was crying and holding her neck the situation turned as William charged forward only stopped by Sean holding his sword to Amber`s neck.

Death

 * Amber_Heard_Cover_Massive.jpg``As the minutes went by my brother fell into a darker and darker place, and despite knowing I should be pulling him back, I hated him so much in that moment that I basically pushed him off.``


 * -William Lovie III.

Watching his brother implode in front of him, and basically throw him infront of the bus for everything that had ever gone wrong for him in his life, wasn`t something that William was able to accept. William would begin badgering Sean and insulting him to the point that his brother begin to reveal to him certain darker acts then anything anyone had ever thought he was possibly involved in. Sean told him how he had become obsessed with seeing the death of this particulary noble girl of whom he refused to name but said she unimportant in the grand scheme of things, and that this obsession had followed him for years. Finally one night he had been invited to dinner for the first time in months and was told by Bill to not critisize anything throughout the meal or else he was never eating with them again. Tasting something horrible in the meal he ignored it and kept eating, and following this he said that a dark entity would offer him assistence and when he accepted he begin hearing terrifying voices in his mind. After going through all the terrible things he had done throughout this time he finally got to Berne where he told William that he just wanted to die. He just wanted to escape all the pain that he was constantly bombarded with, but that as time went by nothing he seemed to do incited anyone to kill him, and this annoyed him even more.


 * ``I watched the first archer fall and in that moment I saw Jasper nod at me from the window followed by Emmett standing in the window with his own bow prepared to launch an arrow at Sean, but foolishly I believed I could talk him down. I also knew that any attempt to fire at Sean would most surely end with Amber`s death as Sean was too much of a coward to go down like that. I did know one thing though, with the one window down, it was only a matter of moments until the other three went down as well, and when that happened their would be an opening.``


 * -William Lovie III.

William watched as Sean devolved and saw Jasper kill one of the archers in the window thus revealing to him that they had found a way into the windows. Seeing there were only three other windows he waved away Emmett`s offer to kill Sean from the window as he knew it would end with Amber`s death. Sean seeing the look on William`s face would demand to know what was so interesting that his brother was ignoring him, and when William couldn`t appease him enough Sean slashed Amber across the shoulder with a blade narrowly missing her head, but still causing serious damage. Seeing this Sean would pull a lever behind him which the moment after he did all the windows slammed shut with Stone porticulls, and the gate they had entered from also was barred with porticuls. Rushing to Amber he knocked Sean to the ground, and picked up Amber. Picking her up he realized instantly how bad the wound to her shoulder was, and he panicked knowing she was going to die. She held him tight, but he could feel her grasp on him loosening as her life left her. Closing her eyes he let out a cry as he believed she had died, and he held her tight crying into her shoulder before kissing her hard on the lips and then gently laying her down before moving towards Sean who was slumped against a post nearbye.


 * ``As I walked to him, I knew this was the end. He would die in this moment. I didn`t expect him to be crying.``


 * -William Lovie III.

Grabbing Sean by the shoulders he found his brother crying, and Sean grasped onto Williams arms as if to try and hold onto him. There was no resistence, and as William held the sword to his chest he held a moment and looked into Sean`s eyes waiting for his last words. Sean in that moment would tell William that Bill still lived and had gone west to France, and would begin to start an apology when William stabbed him through the chest and covered his mouth with his hand. Looking behind him at the lifeless body of Amber he would proceede to be overcome with rage and strangle Sean as the last of his life left him. Getting up he walked back over to Amber, and ignored the sounds of crashing as his men attempted to break there way through the gate, and the windows. Kneeling beside Amber he ripped some cloth from his turnic and covered her wound not wanting her to be seen like this. As he wiped her wound her arm would move up and grasp onto his.

Learning Hard Truths

Late at night Bill Lovie used all of his power to summon himself as a spirit into Cloud Tower bypassing the light defences of the Blue Dragon members that were in Lucerne. In this form William Lovie was approached by Bill Lovie who told him that he had fathered other children with a women named Esme Portmane in Lorderon, and that he was sorry for doing this. Bill in this moment apologized to Andrew for creating all the damage and evil that he had created in his time, but he wanted Andrew to know that whatever he thought this meeting was it wasn't the end because Bill was now completely gone when it came to morals.

I was awoken by a crash near the bed. Despite the loud crash I looked beside me and Bella remained asleep, and looking over I saw Ashley playing with the rattle hanging from above her bed smiling as if the most happy thing in her life was right before her. Getting out of bed I went to where the noice had come from and discovered nothing, but again I heard a noice. This time the noice came from outside the room, and I walked through the door finding darkness outside of the few candles that remained flickering. Following the noice into the next room I walked inside and nearly fell down when I saw my father sitting in a chair.

"Do not scream son I mean you no harm." Everything in me wanted to scream. Everything inside my soul wanted to lash out at him and kill for everything he had done. Back when I last saw him I knew only a sliver of what he had done. The massacre of a plague, the destruction of Tree Hill, the attempted destruction of Gondor, it just kept going and going.

"You give me one good reason why I shouldn't slash your throat and bury you beside the son you forced into madness, and made me kill." Seeing him brought up everything that had happened at Berne. I thought of poor Amber lying broken beneath me as I carried her fallen body back home. I thought of my poor son Thomas who would now grow up never knowing the love his mother had for him. I could tell him as much as I wanted but it wouldn't change the fact that she was gone. For whatever reason though with him sitting in front of me I thought of my broken brother. In his final moments I had seen him for he was. A scared little boy who had just wanted to be loved, and when he realized he couldn't have that he broke.

"I'm sorry you were forced to deal with that, but I am not to blame for the madness in his soul." It was always an apology to me. Even as Alice was brutalized it was me he apologized too.

"He just wanted you to say one nice thing. How much different would he have been if you had said one god damn nice thing to him." For a moment he flickerered as if battling within himself, but in barely any time the battle ended and he continued.

"I didn't come here to talk of that brother. I came here to discuss more of the mistakes I have made. This is nothing but a spirit in the myst that I now inhabit, and already I have been senced by men better then I ever was. In the end I must tell you of things I have done wrong that you will never know if I do not."

"Thats a list too long for any man to keep track of."

"Perhaps it is, but I love you son and you deserve to know."

"Say it and begone from here spirit."

"Long ago. While you were just a baby I visited Lorderon briefly on my way to the wars in France. During this time I met a women. This women has three of my children. These three children do not have the shame of knowing who I am, or what I have done, and for that you must keep in mind. Find them in Lorderon, and make them whole. Do not make the mistakes I made with our family and hate those who deserve nothing of the kind."

"It never ends with you does it." He looked pained as he continued speaking

"This will be the last time we speak son. I know that may not pain you but for me that's the most painful thing to imagine in my entire life. I watched Kingdoms die. Watched armies destroyed in front of me. Those things don't even compare to the love I've had for you since the moment I first saw you. The first time I held you I knew you were it for me. You were the thing that would drive everything in my life, and I truly with everything inside of me wanted nothing more then your happiness. I know it all went to hell, and after this I'm going to be completely consumed by the things in my mind that are wrong...but I just want you to remember that you have a family now and you must protect it the way I never could. You must protect House Lovie. You must."

After this William would wake up his wife, and sister and as they talked his cousin Emma Bell came up as well telling them that Edward had arrived with several Order of the Blue Dragon members in order to see what had entered the Cloud Tower. Telling them what had happened there was shock around, and Edward reluctantly left not wanting to intrude as the Lovie's discussed the issue. They would all agree that the fault did not lay with these children as they were far away, and that they should make attempts to connect with them.

Finding Family


With the decision made William took his sister Alice, as well as his cousin Emma Bell to Lorderon where he planned to welcome his half siblings into the family as well as welcoming this women that had given birth to his father's children. The group would be joined by many others as the King of Lucerne travelling to a province so far from home would bring about all manner of problems. House Lovie would enlist nearly three thousand men from the personal levies to travel with the force and Oberyn Martell was placed in charge of the defence of Lucerne while they were away. The Shadow Council would obviously also join with the trip and Leven and William would ride together for much of the trip while Edward would ride with Jasper of whom was cold to him for most of the trip. They would be joined at the gates of Lucerne by Hedrik Clegane III. of whom had left immediatly when he had gotten the raven about the summoning from William, and thus would join them as well. When Alice asked William how he was going to se easily let these new people into the family he anwsered her with the following.



As they made the trip the group found themselves nervous about what kind of people they would find as their new family. Emma Bell wondered outloud many times whether this was some sort of trap that had been carefully planned by his father, but when this was discussed most discarded it due to the belief that of all the things he had done Bill had shown no ability under any cercumstances to actually harm William. Travelling along the road they took boats waiting for them in Lole from the growing fleet of the Order of the Red Dragon. The group is forced to travel through the Trident where Walder Frey demands double the rate of usual passage from the Lucernian fleet as payment for the insults that Robb Starke had supposedly layed on them. Wishing to meet with Walder aboard the ships they were told he was to old to do this but William could land and meet him inside the castle. This was rejected diplomatically and the group continued without further interuptions to Lorderon where they arrived in the port to much happiness.

Meeting Family


Arriving in Lorderon they were met by Arch Lord Arthas Menathil, of whom many who had met him previously were confused by the shocking change in his appearance. Where before he was clean shaven and his eyes clear he now appeared to be ragged, and his eyes had changed in appearance to a near mennacing look. William would alert Jasper, and Leven to this change, and as this happened Edward saw that he was not consulted and was hurt deeply. The group doesn't notice as Edward is left behind and travels to a tavern, and they make their way to the palace where Arthas apologizes for his wife's absence but he cannot find her. Arthas has a fit that appears to be a siezure, and is taken away by several retainers, and following this they meet with Imlad, and Calia Menathil sister, and cousin to Arthas of whom would make arrangements to meet with Esme Portmane. Esme lived in the palace with her daughter and son while the remaining daughter lived in Arnor as a princess they were told. Esme arrived with Jamie, and Diane Portmane and the rest of the non Lovie members would leave the room as they discussed things. Esme immediatly knew what this was going to be about as she obviously knew who the father of her children were, and Diane also was aprised to the situation so it was only Jamie that they had to explain things to. Jamie would be clearly hurt, and William took him out of the room to talk as the girls all hugged and got to know eachother. Jamie and William would discuss many things, and eventually it came to his future and William said that he still had to prove himself but if he did he would be the eventual Lord of House Portmane and since it was being made into a cadet house of House Lovie his power would be heavy. Asking how this was possible when he was a bastard William made it very clear that he was no longer a bastard, and William's younger sibling and sole remaining brother would hug him so suddenly that Jasper nearly sliced him in two before realizing it was just a hug. The family would stay for several days before finally departing for the west where Diane returned with them while Jamie was left in command of House Portmane but would visit with Esme some time in the future. During those days they stayed William would also remain because he and Edward talked and he learned of the talk with Jaina and Medivh and he wanted Edward to look into this which he did with the help of Leven Martell.

Invasion of Westbridge
Main Article : Invasion of Westbridge



The invasion of Westrbridge was a plan that Andrew followed his meetings with Karl Franz. The meeting had started with a lot of promise but following the intial talks it became clear to both of them that they shared some serious ideological problems, and on top of that where Andrew had believed there would be talk about the survival of Arnor when Arnor was brought up it was as if it was a forgone conclusion and that wasn't acceptable for Lucerne. On one side of things he knew he had a sibling that was now queen of Arnor and thus he couldn`t leave her suvival to chance. On the second part he knew that if The Empire struck against Arnor and took it then the bottleneck they had for centuries would be gone, and they might spread south without resistence. When he looked at actually being able to intervene in Arnor and what that possibility might lead to his commanders and strategists would all suggest that would be foolhardy and would have little chance of success. What wouldn`t have a slight chance of success was if they could take Westbridge as a position to hold against the potential invasion of The Empire. In order to stop this Andrew went about planning the invasion of Westbridge which he believed would create the defence position which even with the fall of Arnor which he now believed was a certainty Lucerne could hold on against The Empire.

The Martells fought beside the main army as it moved towards the southern gateway of Westbridge, and as they camped out during the day in the forest Leven got the chance to see William Lovie again for the first time in a long time. During most of the day the men were resting so that they would be ready for the night attack, but William was constantly on the move visiting the different house leaders, and their actual meeting took place when William came to the Martell part of the camp to meet with Doran Martell who he assumed would be leading the force, but when he arrived at the command tent to find the three Martell sisters looking over the battle plans and talking furiosly over the plans. When they finally noticed that he was their flanked to his right by Jasper Hale, and to his left by Draco Highmore they watched panicked for what his reaction would be to the realization that Doran wasn't leading the force but instead it was his three young daughters. Instead of anger he looked to his two friends and begin laughing before walking to the table and discussing with them the upcoming battle. As the group disperced, Leven stepped forward towards William and she made a note of how quickly Jasper moved to shield the prince from what he must have deemed as a hostile gesture from Leven. Instead of hostility she wished to speak to him, and he was basically done for the day so he said that she could follow him to his tent and they could discuss old times.

Growing up


As she followed him back to his tent she had a moment to watch how much he had changed. Where once he had been wild and charismatic in a way that made you feel used but at the same time want to, he was now kinder, and his charisma was a gentle thing that seeped off him and instead of feeling like their was a nefarious reason behind the kind words now he seemed to truly care. She watched as he greeted everyone that he walked by, and when they finnally reached his tent they moved through the numerous gaurds, and entered his inner room. Inside the room she wondered what would happen but she was suprised when he let out a sigh and slumped down on a chair. She laughed at the moment before joining him in the seat beside him, where she gave him a moment to relax before they begin talking. They laughed and joked and the feelings that Leven had for him returned just as strong as they had once been, and as the conversation got later she begin to plan to attempt to seduce him. This plan changed when they begin discussing his children, and when she heard him discuss them she realized just how far he had come. Despite the fact that she wanted him. Despite the fact that she was still in love with him, she knew that she couldn't do it. Even if she believed that she was capable of seducing him she didn't have the heart to do it to him considering everything he had become. So without that in mind she ended up falling asleep in his room with perhaps the first true friend she had ever had.

I walked with Jasper passed the orange tents of the Martell`s and had a tinge of excitement as I knew I`d see Leven. She was a truly great friend, and the fact that I hadn`t seen her for some time gave me pause as to why I seemed to always treat her that way. She was one of the Shadow Council, but in a lot of ways she was the forgotten member. Treated as an outsider without every really saying it outloud.

Jasper constantly questioned to me whether the feelings that she held for me were recipricated, and it was never really something I had been forced to deal with. When we were young and sleeping together I had pushed it aside because I was angry and bitter, and she was one of the few that loved me to such a level that in the back of my mind I knew I could treat whatever way I wanted. I would never be able to apologize enough to her for what I did to her back then, but she had never asked for an apology which honestly just made it worse.

Shaking hands, and saying my hellos to the knights along the way I was stopped by the fat lord Mavin Vaith of whom was a good man, but my uncle had always joked he loved his pies and cakes far more then he did anything else. When I questioned how I could trust such a man Emmett had joked that I should simply send him cakes and pies as often as possible. Jasper would sacrifice the time of Emmett so that we could move past, and I could just make out the look of anger that he shot at Jasper who just laughed in return. Walking into the Martell`s main camp, I saw Leven, Dorea, and Obella on one side of the table, flanked by Wilheim, Mandon Moore, and Maryn Trant who were on the other side. As I got closer I saw a young boy that looked the spitting image of Maryn and despite never knowing him I assumed it was his heir in Ian Trant, and the boy despite his youth would immediatly know to bow on my entrance. ``My Lords, how goes the planning.``

I shouldn`t have been suprised when Leven was the first to anwser. ``My King the Martell forces are well ready for anything asked of them.`` You would hardly know that we were best friends with the dutiful way she spoke, but I knew even if I told her not to she wouldn`t ever speak to me outside of privacy in anyway other then extreme class.

``'''My cousin is correct my King. The final elements of House Trant arrived just this morning bringing our entire force to bear. We are now completely ready for the assault.'''`` Wilheim would bow as well after speaking, and pointed towards the different elements on the papers they were looking at, showing how strong in number they were.

``'''Excellent. I must continue my rounds as I still have the Faraday`s and their most likely desire to see me hand the Highmore`s over as a good luck charm for the battle to deal with.'''``There was laughter in the tent, and it went that way for a good ten minutes longer until Emmett came into the tent with a less then happy look on his face telling us that we had to retire for the night. I bid the commanders get some rest before the night got to late, and gave Leven a nod of my head a brief smile before shaking each of their hands and kissing Dorea, and Obella`s hands and then moved out of the tent. As I walked following Jasper and Emmett who were by this point argueing about Jasper`s joke on Emmett I felt a hand on my back and went to see what Draco wanted, but when I turned and looked it was Leven smiling at me. ``Leven, its good to see you.``

``I`ve missed you too my King.`` I wanted to force her to call me Will like she did when we were in private, but I knew it was a lost cause so I just moved forward.

``I`m sorry I had to rush out like that I hadn`t meant...`` She smiled at me before raising her hand as if to say for me to stop. She had always been far too kind for me, and it was true shame and a boon to have a friend as pure as she was.

``'''Nothing to apologize for my king. I was just happy to see you. Its been...Its been a long time.'''``Her saying it brought me to the realization of how long it had truly been since I`d seen her. She had allowed her hair to grow out, and her orange tinted armor was a masterpiece that I know she took very seriously. When we were young there wasn't a moment that I was training that she wasn't nearbye. There wasn't a time that I was bettering myself that she wasn't right beside me making herself better too.

"It's been too long." I meant it more then I could put into words. The problems with Edward had left me understanding how fragile relationships were. I wanted to make sure that Leven perhaps my greatest and most loyal friend didn't become an Edward so I acted. "Leven are you available?" Her eyes lit up clearly realizing or atleast hoping I was going to ask her to join us.

"If you have need of me your grace I am avaliable."

"'''Then follow us we have some Faraday, Highmore fueds to hear about." She laughed before looking around and making sure noone had seen before smiling back at me. "Come on milady lets go."'''

* * *

"How many different ways can such a small group describe how they hate something."

"William, I have no idea how you were able to just stand there and listen to that. Desmond spent five minutes describing how he felt Draco's armor was an insult to your house. I wanted to stab him in the chest." She laid her sword down as I unclasped my shoulder armor and rested it on its hanger. My gloves came off with some difficulty and I had to remember to have the armoror look at them before I went into battle.

"Please don't do that Leven. If you do then I'll have to hear about the orange armor of murderous Leven Martell and how I should send you into the mountains to live on goats." The Faraday's were embaressing themselves, and I don't know whether they cared enough anymore to change it. Perhaps there hatred over the death of Joey Faraday was so strong now, that nothing could stop it until one side was dead. It seemed to me that death was the only way out of this mess, but when the Faraday's wanted the death of an individual that was months away from being a member of my own house they seemed the only canidates to die.

"What fools the Faraday's are." She pulled off her final piece of chest armor and rested it on the ground. It was difficult not to look at her sexually, as she was a walking temptation. A girl who loved me as deeply as Leven did, and of whom looked like that was nearly a sin to not touch, but I had commited far too many sins of late to add one more so easily.

"I'v truly missed you Levia." She stopped taking her armor off for a moment and looked at me with a smile so wide it didn't seem possible.

"I've missed being called Levia." She left her lower armor on and moved to sit beside me on the bed, and again the temptress tempted me.

"Your sisters call you Levia."

"Obella has been away with Robb in Stormwind, and Dorea has been in the north visiting High Hrothgar." She said it with such sadness, and lonliness that I knew in that moment how much hurt I had caused her. I hadn't meant to send her away for so long, but she was honestly the only one other then Jasper that I could truly count on.

"I'm sorry I sent you away I just...Its just you guys are my only sure things." I wondered if I still counted Edward amongst that number. Was my bitterness towards him ever going to go away.

"Why not Emmett, or Edward then. I don't mean to be rude but I missed you. Your my best friend, and I felt like you just sent me away like I was nothing." A tear fell down her cheek, and I wiped it with my hand and as she fell into my hand I caressed her cheek.

"I am truly sorry Leven. I have taken you more then any other person in my life for granted. I love you, and I guess I thought in my mind that you and I were just...just so close that I could take advantage of you. Does that make sence." It was the truth, and if there was one thing I wanted to remain it was our honesty. I never wanted to skirt around eachother the way we all did now with Edward. It was a fate for us worth then the ending of our friendship.

"It does, but please don't anymore. We are better off close to eachother. I don't mind leaving every once and awhile, but that was a long time."

"Never again, unless the world is ending and its the only way to live." She laughed and rested her head on my shoulder. "Lets pray it never comes to that Levia."

Operation Lightning
See Also : Order of the Violet Dragon



Before the actual invasion could be started, and two weeks before the forces of Lucerne begin marching northwards towards the land of House Malfoy, William Lovie got together with the Order of the Violet Dragon in order to change the way they were going to fight wars. William understood that the high walls, and formidable defenders meant that an attack would be met with heavy casualties and in order to continue expanding there was no way he could afford taking the casualites that would occur in a straight up siege. In order to bybass this he and the Order of the Violet dragon planned to use an incredibly high amount (the entire order) in order to assasinate key defenders that were not wanted after the siege, as well as to sabotage several sections of the defences as well.

As the armies of Lucerne massed in the valley the Order of the Violet Dragon moved northward in their entire strength and silently over the course of a few days infiltrated the city of Westbridge. The Order already had sympathizers in the city as House Malfoy was extremely unpopular in Westbridge and as such it wasn't hard to find people that were loyal. With roughly a month before the army of Lucerne was to arrive the forces of the Order of the Violet Dragon went about changing scheduals for the defenders so as to weaken sections of the wall. Those who it was planned to survive the conflict were basically given vacations on the day of the conflict so that they would not be caught up in the conflict. As well as this they begin setting up a rather sophisticated, and well equipped rebel army that on the day of the invasion would be completly focused on taking control of the southern gate.

The Start


While the Invasion of Westbridge was split into many different sections with the forces of House Scott, and House Shephard attacking the two major towns south of Westbridge. While they did this House Lannister, and House Starke prepared to invade the main island by use of the Lucernian fleet in the dark of night, of which their attack would corespond with the attack of the main force on the south gate, and the Order of the Blue Dragon on the northern Gate. With all this in wait House Swan would invade Yerness which would block any relief from coming south from the Westbridge forces north of the town, as well as stopping Voldermorte from coming south by boat. While this happened House Lovie moved north towards the Westbridge town of Margrove which had before the battle had started been assumed to be a minor town but information flooded into the high command that Margrove had been fortified by House Pollen and it would now be a major obsticle for the movement northwards. William knew that he didn't have time to besiege the city so he left behind House Scarlet and gave them the charge of taking Margrove and then holding the town until the Invasion was over. The vast army would then surround the completely unprepared city, and once the defenders knew how many were around them they hunkered down for a siege and waited for reinforcements. Only a few hours after surrounding the city House Lovie and the majority of the force would depart and leave House Scarlet, Mien, and Fraizen in charge of continueing the siege.

Control


While Andrew was busy with the Martells Jasper Hale was busy at work completing the taks that he had been ordered to do by William of which mainly consisted of making sure that House Arryn was on track towards their part of the operation which was of great importance. During this he was accompanied by Emmett who believed that he could make the situation less uncomfortable and actually get something done. While the main force attacked the gate castle, the forces of House Arryn would attack the small port/town of Vlasnia that harbored to the west of the gatehouse. A relatively heavily defended section of Westbridge this was of supreme importance that this be taken quickly by House Arryn otherwise the heavy artillery that was in place inside the port. Because of the damage taken by House Arryn's leadership caste it was the decision of Byron Arryn that he not lead the force and thus House Arryn and its vassals were being led into battle by Martin Arryn and his son Derek, and his niece Spencer Arryn of whome was known to be there by Martin but most others thought she was a mercenary hired by the Arryns to offset their losses. Jasper would spend much of the night discussing the plans for the next day with the Arryns and he would find a suprising intelligence in Derek Arryn, and he would make a note in his memory to make sure that William knew of this mans potential. When this was over he and Emmett would leave the command tent of House Arryn and return to their respective Houses where they would be leading their respective attacks. For Jasper that meant he would be fighting alongside his best friend William Lovie as a member of the Praetorian Gaurd, while Emmett would be truly bringing the growing forces of House McCarty to the forefront with his assistence.

The Final Moments


During the next day their was an almost awkward silence that fell over the massive army, and nearly the entire command structure of the attacking force as everyone understood that night would signal the attack they had all been preparing for and obsessing over for the past week. During the day House Arryn would silently march its way out of the main camp alongside House Heard, House Krinner, and House Dorin where the would prepare for their invasion of Vlasnia. With their departure William Lovie begin to create a buzz as he once again spent the afternoon visiting as many of his troops and commanders as he could, and it was during the final few hours that he would order the beggining of the attack. When dusk hit he ordered that House Martell led by three daughters would move forward and conseiled in the forest move to the east of the fortress and prepare to board the boats they had made for the purpose of their attack behind the lines. As the Martells left William Lovie would say one last goodbye to his friend Leven Martell, before preparing the main force for the attack on the gate. House Lovie, and House Faraday alongside the Order of the Red Dragon would form the main attack along the castle while the forces of House Jackson, House Cullen, and House Vaith would attack along the flanks of the castle using heavy artillery to shield their troops who would mainly be using ladders to assail the walls. Alongside this attack would be of cours the House Martell attack which would be assisted as well by the Order of the Violet Dragon who had been busy at work inflitrating the southern gatehouse keep with rebel troops, as well as murdering watch commanders so that the walls would be sparsely defended giving the attackers the most time possible to get on the walls.

The Attack
The moment that dusk settled on the skies above the army William Lovie gave the order to begin moving to attacking positions. The siege machines were pushed forward in case the siege didn't work according to plan and they were forced to bash their way through while at the same time the hundreds of ladders, and dozens of siege towers were silently pushed forward as well by dozens of oxen. The siege towers were the main thing that might be noticed and thus they were covered with trees and it was hoped that the darkness and the lack of real defenders on the walls would allow the towers to get nearly to the walls before noticed.

Final Moments


William's return from Westbridge had led him from happiness in the victory over the Malfoys, and the time he spent with his friends, and Brooke into a return to the capital where his sister awaited him. Entering through the gates his sister sprinted towards him and jumped into his arms holding him tight as his commanders looked on, and not even Jasper her near husband was willing to try and get between her and William. Alice would finally give way to the queen in Bella Swan who hugged him with tears flowing down her cheek, and William hugged the women back that he loved but knew he didn't love enough. Following hugging his children deeply and his family that had come to greet him they walked through the second gate where the crowds of Lucerne awaited in massive throngs for their victorious king. William was obligated to go to a dinner hosted by many of the nobles of the city, and he held Bella and his children close as he remembered what it was like to be home again. Alice and Bella were able to get him away as quickly as possible and William would kiss his children goodnight before retiring to his room with Bella where the two would make love for the first time in months. As Bella fell asleep William coudn't sleep and left his room to find Alice waiting outside the door clearing close enough that she would have heard what had happened, but she doesn't seem to be bothered. Alice takes him into the library where William knows he is about to get in trouble from Alice.

Alice's agents had discovered increasing talk about William's affair with Brooke Scott, and this had her greatly worried as she had held onto the belief that it was nothing more then a fling, but having invited her to Westbridge she knew this was something beyond a fling. Alice told him that she had evidence that Brooke was once again contacting people looking for poison and although she had been unsuccesful so far it was just a matter of time until she found the supplies she was looking for. Hearing all this he promiced his sister who was crying and beggining him to do this for her, he promiced her that he would end things with Brooke, and told her he would leave within a few weeks to Tree Hill with Leven.

"What do you want from me Alice?"

"I want you to finally tell me if your going to do what is right."

"If you mean stop seeing Brooke I'm sorry sister but I cannot do that. She has ahold of something within me, and no matter how hard I try I cannot accept my life without her in it."

"It is far past the time of continueing this affair. I gave you time sweet brother, but it must end. The people scream of your greatness, but soon the whispers of your affair will become louder, until the day comes that all the victories in the world wont shelter us from the noise."

"How could people know about my relationship with Brooke."

"They know the same way that we know. You don't hide well. You called her to come to Westbridge? Did you honestly thing noone would notice the noble lady of House Scott coming to Westbridge and spending all of her time with the King."

"Maybe what people think isn't the end all for me Alice."

"It should be Will, but if your saying you need more I have more."

"What more could you have?"

"Morrigan reported to an agent of ours in the Green Dragon's that Brooke has entered into a number of poison shops. I can show you the letters, but the action speaks for itself."

"God Dammit!"

"William I'm sorry."

"Your not sorry. Don't you see that this breaks me? Dont you understand that without her I feel hollow."

"Think about Bella."

"If I didn't love Bella I would have divorsed her years ago and been with Brooke. Thats the problem. I do love Bella. I love her for everything she is, and I couldn't think of a more perfect wife."

"Then you need to forget about seeing Brooke."



Brooke had departed from the main army alongside her brother Lucas at Stormwind, and travelled back to Tree Hill where she was rejuvinated. Her time over the past weeks with William were the best she had in years, and she finally remembered happiness. Lucas was happy for her despite knowing the consequences of what she was continuesly moving farther and farther into, but she wouldn't hear it and just couldn't stop smiling. When Brooke arrived back in Tree Hill she was barely able to stop herself from paying the driver more coin to get to see her children quicker, but when she did arrive she and her brother were met in the keep the other members of their family, but most importantly to Brooke was the moment Riley ran to her, and Peyton carried Sigmund to her side. Settling back into life in Tree Hill she would meet with Morrigan of whom had become once again very close to her, and despite seeing a change in Morrigan she brushed it aside, and got closer to Morrigan. She would be tricked by Morrigan into visiting a shop that she didn't know what was, but it was done so that agents of the Order of the Green Dragon would see her enter, and thus report back to William that she was in fact entering a shop that specialized in poisons. Having framed Brooke of the attempted murder of Bella Swan Morrigan disapeared for a time, where in she was visited by Flemeth of whom gave her a new task which was to menipulate the situation that was coming from the arrival of the Man of Fear.

William says goodbye


William left nearly two months later from Lucerne in order to say goodbye to Brooke. Jasper, Edward and Emmett had all nearly demanded to be there for their friend, but Edward was needed elsewhere, Emmett was dealing with problems in the west, and Jasper was needed to protect the household while he was gone so he refused them and took only Leven. Leven and William travelled by horseback with a troop of nearly two hundred House Lovie troops, and nearly the same number of Martell and Golden Dragon men. Travelling the road he would further confide in Leven of whom by this point was basically the only person who knew everything he had ever done, and was the only person he had never lied to about his actions. As they reached Tree Hill the two would tell eachother that they loved the other, and then she held his hand briefly as they entered the city that would always be a reminder of his greatest love, and greatest mistake. Entering Scott estate he knew Dan wasn't there as he had commanded him to travel eastward to host a small squire tournmant in order to remove him from the city when he arrived, but waiting for him was Lucas and his beloved Brooke. Saying hellos to Lucas and the other assembled nobles he left Leven and walked with Bella into the palace where they would hold hands once they were out of sight. Realizing there wasn't going to be anyway to soften the blow he got right into it not realizing that Leven had snuck into the palace grounds and was listening into their conversation while she had commanded a massive gaurd of the palace grounds to keep out anyone else from hearing. William would begin to cry as he spoke the words, and Brooke upon this enveloped him into a hug as well crying as she knew what he was here for the moment he had started crying. As William explained everything to her she broke down into tears even further and begged him not to leave her and promised him that she wasn't trying to kill Bella, but it was too late and she knew it. Eventually pulling away from her he left the palace grounds and left behind him a broken Brooke Scott of whom lay unable to move against the side of the wall.

Goodbye son


Leaving behind a broken Brooke Scott William used all his remaining strength to enter the inner palace and find his two sons. Followed closely by Leven she stopped him in a hallway and as he tried to get away she just hugged him, and he broke for a moment hugging into her and not wanting to move. He didn't move it was Leven that released him and smiled kissing him on the lips before pulling him down the hallway towards the sounds of laughter. Finding Sigmund playing with Lucas and Haley Leven left to get Sigmund, and William bid all the servents leave. Haley, and Lucas left leaving father and son alone together one last time. Riley wanted to know what they would be doing together while he was in Tree Hill as whenever he visited he would spend time with Riley, but William was forced to tell him that this time he wasn't going to be able to, and really had just wanted to say goodbye to his son. Riley begin to cry realizing that this goodbye was more permenet as he saw Leven bring Sigmund into the room and William cradle Sigmund while staring into his eyes.

Riley and William would hug for many minutes, but finally he pulled himself away from another person he loved dearly kissing his two sons on the forehead before leaving the room, and Tree Hill for the last time. Riley would get his brother and find his mother of whom he knew would be in the garden as that was where she always went when she was broken by things like this. Finding her still crying in the garden he felt anger towards his father for not being stronger. Anger towards Bella and Alice for forcing his father to do this. And in the end anger towards everyone for not loving him as much as others who were no more deserving then he was of love.

"Death"

 * Brooke_Scott(7.png"It was like looking at the most horrifying creature imagineable in your mind. It had no face that I could understand other then the hate filled eyes that just stared back at me. He whispered to me in my mind telling me darker and darker things. I begged him to leave. I pleaded for him to just tell me what he wanted, and when he told me I wished I had never asked. He told me I had to die, and that he wouldn't ever leave until I was dead. Needless to say I knew I had to see William. He would save me."


 * -Brooke Scott

When Brooke returned to the alchemist three days later she found the potion ready for her, but as she walked out of the house she ran into a man clothed completely in black robes, and wearing a mask that showed nothing but the outline of his pure red eyes. This scared her, and she screamed to the crowd for them stop the man, and the crowd couldn't see him so they attacked a man that was just standing by her, and nearly killed him to protect Brooke. As she watched the Dark Man just stood there and watched. He followed her home, and she attempted to get him away but as she did this she realized that she was the only that could see him. She knew that if this was Magi related the only person who might be able to help her was Morrigan so she ran to find her all the while being followed by the Dark Man. When she arrived at the home of Morrigan she could clearly see him, but Morrigan played it off as if she couldn't and this sealed the fate of Brooke's sanity.


 * THE_dark_Man1.jpg"When Morrigan couldn't see him, it was like an alarm went off in my mind that told me what I had feared all along. I was insane. Somewhere along the line I had lost my mind trying to kill Bella. I knew in that moment that this was once again something I could overcome. I could ignore him. I could accept that he wasn't actually there, and I could move past this."


 * -Brooke Scott

She from that point on refused to accept he was there and went about her next days attempting to ignore him, but he begin to threaten those close to her, and she became scared once again to the point that she fled from him as fast as she could before she would take a carriage northward. She at first thought she had gotten away from him, but when she arrived in Lucerne she saw him waiting in the center of the gate, and knew that her time was almost gone. She entered Lucerne and when she reached the Cloud Tower she was met at the entrance by Alice Lovie of whom had had heard of her arrival in the town, and had moved to keep it a secret. Alice would take Brooke into the Sky Towers, and the two would finally get another chance at attacking eachother. The two would at first trade jabs at eachother verbally but as the fight continued and Bella arrived the fight became physical as Brooke physically attacked Brook the point of all of her rage. As this happened Emmett McCarty barged in and was able ot get Brooke under control, and got her out of the Skytowers, and towards the Kings Keep where William was.


 * Brooke_Scott_Large4.jpg"I thought that when I found him he would take out his sword and kill the Dark Man. I believed that the Dark Man would be gone once I found him, but when I opened my eyes and saw him I realized how wrong I was."


 * -Brooke Scott

As she arrived at the Kings Keep she found William standing at a table surrounded by both Jasper Hale, and Robb Starke. As she approached completely in tears he took her into his arms and took her into a side room. In the room she continued to cry, and he couldn't get her to explain what was wrong, and it was as this was happening that she opened her eyes and saw that the Dark Man was in the room with them. This time when she saw him she didn't cry out or try and get away from him, she just accepted that she was gone. In that moment she looked away from the Dark Man and back to the William, and she would smile at him before kissing him on the lips. The two would be intimate one more time, before she said her goodbyes to him, and when he tried to follow her, he was stopped by Alice Lovie of whom didn't want him to get in trouble with the people if they saw what was happening. Watching her walk away was one of the toughest things he had ever done, but what happened next would be far more painful to not just William but to many people throughout the valley.


 * Brooke_Scott_Small6.jpg"I left the Kings Keep and just walked. I walked through the gates of Lucerne, and into the fields beyond. I don't know how long I walked before I finally saw him again. When I did he made a movement that told me to follow him. When I did follow him he took me to a waterfall I had heard William tell me about once before. He didn't have to tell me what to do I knew already. I don't remember quite what I said in my final goodbye to William but as I punged over the side of the waterfall I felt free of the Dark Man for the first time in a long time."


 * -Brooke Scott

Brooke would leave the Kings Keep and walk for nearly an entire day before finally the Dark Man brought her towards a waterfall where he waited beside her for her to kill herself. Brooke in that moment took off the necklase that William had given her all those years before, and held it close to herself for a time before she finally set it down on the ground beside what she assumed would be the site that they would believe she jumped from. When she finally did jump off the side she carried with her the curse he had done to her, and in this moment she became a "Daughter of Flemeth".

A desperate Gamble



 * "Everything was looking up from what people saw. They saw us taking the Riverlands, overrunning the bridge. But all I saw was the goliath in the north. They sat destroying everything and anything they wanted seemingly at will. How long could we last in that conflict. How long could all of our strength hold out against the endless fanatasasim of the Teutons. I had to change things. I had to make it different."


 * -William Lovie III.

Following the continueing growth in conflict with the Kingdom of Bolten William Lovie begin to come to the conclusion that he had to do something drastic or he risked watching all the good he'd done come crashing down around him. He had been constantly reading the diaries of his ancestors and from the writings of his great grandfater William Lovie I. he learned that the Dragon had changed everything. He came to believe that the success of House Lovie in the beggining was based on more then just the skill of William and that he needed the same trump card. When he went to the shadow Council and told them that he planned on going to the Lucernian Mountains and attempting to meet with the Dragons, and from this he would bring them back into the fold. At first the others were so shocked by what he had said that they didn't take it seriously but when he didn't laugh along with them they begin to understand the truth that he in fact wasn't joking. At first noone spoke or even moved but after minutes of silence Jasper got up from the table and begin to become very angry that Andrew would even contimplate something so stupid.


 * Bella_Swan_Gif_Cover.gif"What could possibly be gained with your suicide? I honestly want to know what frame of thought your going through that makes you think you can just check out on us."


 * -Jasper Hale

After the argument of the Shadow Council Jasper went back to his room with Alice where he begin throwing things around the room which obviously brought about the attention of his fiance Alice Lovie. When Jasper told Alice about what was happening she immediatly knew that she was partly to blame for this as she had told him during the trip back that he was as great as William Lovie, and that anything he had done would pale in comparison to what Andrew would eventually be remembered for. Realizing this she immediatly left the room with Jasper - who was shocked that Alice had just up and left - and went upstairs to Andrew's room where she walked in on Andrew and Bella in the middle of having sex. Seeing this was the first of what would become a growing problem for Alice as she begin to accept some simple truths in her life that she had never allowed herself to accept before.

Telling Alice



 * "What do I say to him. How do I make him see that he need not die. For longer then I could remember I had seen my brother do anything he ever put his mind to, and thus was this one of those impossible things that maybe he could accomplish. If he was succesful the postives were unending...but...but if he failed."


 * -Alice Lovie

When Bella had removed herself from Andrew and they were properly clothed she sat down on the edge of the bed and apoligized to Andrew for telling him what she had, and she begged him not to go through with the Dragon plan. Bella stood beside him, but she to wanted to know why Andrew would be so absolutely reckless. Bella went through the lists of things that gave them an advantage in any upcoming conflict, and by this point Alice was tearing up but still attempting to help Bella by also saying all the positives of a future conflict with the Empire. Andrew explained to the two of them that the situation was hopeless in the long run unless they did something drastic and he could only think of doing this. He had taken out cities, and annexxed half of western Westros but he still was nothing more then a peanut in comparison to the power of the larger Empires in Europe. The three of them argued back and forth for some time and finally Andrew reached for Alice and pulled her into a hug and whispered to her the words that force her to take his side of the coming debate.


 * Alice_Lovie_Decision.gif"I love you sister. I love you more then words could ever acurately state, and once upon a time I made a promise to you that I would keep you safe from everything in the world that could ever do you harm. For me this is the purpose. I can't keep you safe anymore without taking risks. The days are running short, and I can't fathom a world where I have to even contimplate your fall. I won't ever allow that to happen. So the next time you question my resolve or wonder whether you can talk me out of it remeber this. I go to the mountains not so that I can ride some dragon, or build a greater reputation. I ride to the mountains because this is how I keep you safe."


 * -William Lovie III.

With the words said by William there was a sence of understanding between the siblings and she would help him to convinse Bella of the reasonings behind the decision, and despite wanting to believe that her husband could sucede where it seemed noone could Bella was not willing to accept his death and refused to agree but would support him.

The Mountain

 * Keenclaw_Action.jpg"I flew to the top of that peak with nothing but a prayer at my back and the hope that a legacy only written about was true."


 * -William Lovie III.

With the decision made and everyone basically giving up on resisting him outside of Jasper who was following him night and day in an attempt to atleast join him, William knew that the time had come. William would convince Levan to trick Jasper into believing that William was going somewhere else when in fact he was leaving. The moment that William watched Levan take Jasper away from the Sky Towers he left a letter behind with Hayden Percy for Alice, Bella and Levan along with the Shadow Council before he got on Keenclaw and begin his flight to the north. His letters had told him that William Lovie had once travelled to the home of Stragnarax on his back and had said that the markings for the home of the Dragons of the mountains was marked by a large monolith some sixty feet high and glowing black. As he flew he thought back over all the things that he had done, and contimplated the last minute decisions he had left in the letters and finally as he flew he saw a Black creature flying to him. In the distance he didn't know if perhaps this was one the dragons, but everything he had read and when Jacob had discussed them they were clearly white creatures. Seeing it coming closer he saw it to be a sort of horse with wings, and it carried a female rider clothed in robes. As they got closer he was horrified and shocked to see the rider to be Brooke Scott, he let go of the reigns in shock.


 * "There she was. She was just right there, and yet in that moment my mind still told me that I was seeing things. I had to be mad. Had to be crazed. She had fallen into darkness and now this was my mind creating what I believed she would be in this way."


 * -William Lovie III.

Keenclaw kept steady as they flew upwards into the sky without William guiding Keenclaw, and the Griffin in an angry snarl trying to attack the Black pegasus that Brooke was riding on. Seeing Brooke nearly shattered all the control that William had been building up since her death, and as he reached out for her she calmbed him with gesture.


 * She looked just like herself but different in a way. Her spoke to me in a way that said that she was changed in some unspeakable way. "Brooke...how...could this...are you really here?" I didn't know what else to say in that moment. She continued to fly beside me and she looked at me with what seemed like the weight of the world on her shoulders.


 * "Im here Andrew. I've never left you, and I never will." She said it but even in her eyes we both knew it wasn't the way it was. This was a dream my mind created in what I must have felt were my final moments. How could this be true. She was dead.


 * "Its all so impossible without you Brooke...I don't want to fight anymore without you." The world was fighting against me at all sides. It was one thing taking the Riverlands, and dealing with the constant rebellions of that land, but when I took Westbridge it just opened us up to so many enemies. Now at war with the Boltens I just wanted to hold her and feel better.


 * "You have to Andrew. You don't have a choice you need to fight. You need to fight for what we were." The past tense of it all just burned me. I wanted to change everything and was quickly realizing that the hopes of a child


 * "But its all so hollow without you here." I saw a tear fall down her cheek, and the moment it did I noticed its red tinge as if it was blood, and the moment it fell her hand recoiled to her cheek and the pegasus begin thrashing about causing her eyes to panic. As he calmed herself the residue of the tear remained on her cheek as she spoke again.


 * "I'm sorry I had to leave you and I'm sorry I can't stay longer but know that this is what you need to do, and know that I'll be here for you." Her pegasus started to pull away before I could ask her why her tears were blood or why she looked so scared, and my hands seemed unable to move to find the reigns so I yelled to her.


 * "How will I find you again?" In that moment there were so many things I wanted to yell but that seemed the most prudent.


 * "Search your mind Andrew and you'll know the place to find me." It seemed after she responded my eyes closed with little control from me, and when I was able to open them she was gone as if she was never there.

As Brooke flew away the world seemed to snap back into focus as instead of feeling sad that she was gone, he felt the hope from the fact that she had said that he would see her again, and even if he believed her an illusion of his mind he somehow was okay with that. What man or women wouldn't want to see their loved ones again even if they were gone he thought.

The Monolith

 * Leven_Martell_Cover.jpg"The collapsed Monolith would turn out to be quite the forshadowing for the Dragon culture that I would find at the end."


 * -William Lovie III.

So caught into his own thinking was he that he only barely noticed the large black monolith the writings had spoken of. The Monolith was knocked down as if spit in half, and as he landed he sat for a moment on the ground before getting up. As he walked followed by Keenclaw he was alerted by Keenclaw to the arrival of Jasper and Levan who flew in behind him on their griffins. Wondering immediatly about whether his meeting with Brooke had been noticed this fear went away when Jasper responded that they had flew with all speed and only saw him finally when he was sitting on the ground. Realizing that he wasn't going to be able to convinse them to leave and silently happy to have his friends with him they walked forward towards very likely death. Jasper scouted ahead accompanied by Brightclaw the littermate of Keenclaw. While he scouted ahead Leven would try to get Andrew to tell him what had happened, and despite his reservations about being thought to be insane he told Leven about seeing Brooke and despite the fact that she didn't think Brooke was actually there she held his hand as they walked to make him understand that she was there for him. He would give her a tender kiss as they walked and despite knowing why he had done it she couldn't help but wish it was for the romantic reasons that she wanted to kiss him.

The Mad God
Main Article : Conversations


 * "You never think that the thing that you have held so high in your praises will turn out wrong. A society. A culture. A Kingdom. An entire people spent their entire history worshipping at the feet of a memory. That White_Dovah_Monolith.jpgy turned out completely wrong when confronted with the reality."


 * -William Lovie III.

As they walked forward holding hands they walked over the hill and saw Jasper flying towards them chased by an absolutely massive Dragon. Falling back over the hill they ran the other way only to find another dragon fly behind them and cut them off. The sides were then closed by more human sized creatures that were weaponized and didn't have wings but looked distinctly dragonoid. Falling back into a small circle they were joined by Jasper, and they watched the dragons approach them, and waited when the largest amongst them steps towards them and demands to know why they are here before they are killed. As Stragnarax nears them he visably recoils as he relizes that William Lovie's ancestor is amongst them and demands to know what kind of horrible taint William has since he is a decendent of the one that killed the honorable William Lovie I. William attempts to convinse him of his honor but Stragnarax throughout the conversation shows signs of madness and is unable to be convinsed and is unable to be persuaded to let them live and prepares to kill the group when Lornax arrives and stands between his father and the group. Not willing to kill his son he roars to the sky before flying away leaving Lornax, Flarnax and many Draknoids.

We stood in a triangle trying to make sure we covered all sections, but looking in front of me a this massive creature I couldn't contimplate survival. Its wings flapped and they had to go almost for ever, and the cruel look in its eyes made me question everything we had ever been told about the Dragons. As I stood staring at it I held my hands in the air to try and show it I meant no harm. Seemed prudent to tell the monstracity in front of me that I wasn't capable of hurting it but this was all I knew I could do. As I did this the Dragon's head which was twice the size of me fell back and a booming sort of laughter came out. Looking around the more human appearing dragons did not move or make any sign that they were going to so I spoke outloud. "We mean you no harm. We are friends of the Dragon." The Dragon stopped its laughter and moved closer to me staring almost as if it knew me. Leven nudged at my cloak, and I knew what she was suggesting so I grabbed onto my back and pulled off my cloak which held the sigil of House Lovie in the form of our dragon. "You see my family honors you with your image on our sigil."

Seeing the sigil the dragon made a step backwards before speaking. Its voice was frightening in its scale but at the same time if you closed your eyes you would have barely known it wasn't human. "I know your family well human. I suppose the man one destroyed the images of me while he destroyed everything else that was good of your people." Moving closer I felt a gnawing at my mind before I heard his voice in my head. "I know who you are William Lovie third of his name, son of Bill Lovie. You are the great-grandson of the man that murdered my child." Saying those words I knew immediatly that despite the imposibility of what he was telling me this was Stragnarax the ancient mount of William Lovie my original namesake.

"My great-grand father was a mad man...and I cannot believe that you would think we are all like he was. You Will..."

"You shall not speak his name. He was beyond anything you could ever understand. Perfection in everything he did, that man simply wanted his family and friends, and the people he protected to have the best of everything he could offer them. And what did that get him and his son. Death. Their honor got them death from your blood. You stand here and it is as if I stare at the ghost of William himself. It is a travesty that someone as tainted as you should have his looks."

"All I can say is that the mistakes of my great-grandfather are beyond apology, but I would like to have the chance to prove what I am capable of...what together we could be capable of." He gave another throated cough, but this time he looked behind him and though I saw nothing he clearly did as he shook his head.

"I swore the day your blood killed mine that I would never enter that tainted city again unless I was going to burn the entire city to the ground." It was a common question amongst the scholors of my people. Why had the great Stragnarax not intervened and stopped John? Why had he not taken revenge? Why had he not done so many things.

"Why didn't you?"

"Every ounce of my being wishes to destroy everything in that blighted city but...but a man I trusted and loved made me promice once that I would never harm it. He made me promice to protect Lucerne, and to never cause it harm. He never made me promice to protect you though. " A mighty chill went down my spine as I was threatened by a creature that William had wrote had been alive for the creation of our world itself. Old beyond counting was this creature and I was in its sights.

"I am a part of Lucerne."

"A destructive and cruel part." Leven had ahold of my shoulder and I knew she could feel that Stragnarax was not going to see reason. I knew she wanted me to look back at her, but a part of me couldn't believe it would end this way.

"You cannot know that." I wanted to believe that I wasn't destructive but in my short time as King of Lucerne I had done my share of destruction. It had a purpose, but it was destructive none the less.

"I have seen gods. I have watched demons blot out the sky. I have seen extinction of races, and the near destruction of my own. I can see your mind human, and I see death."

"I'm sorry for everything that..." I felt the gnawing at my mind and he returned to speaking to me mentally.

"Its over human. Its time to meet your Glaurung and see what your capable of in the afterlife." I wanted to say something. Say anything really. Try and make him stop, but he was lost in bad memories, and regreat and there was nothing I could do to repair what had been done to him in the past. He opened his mouth and I watched as the fire billowed out of its mouth and came towards me, and looking back at Leven, and Jasper I smiled knowing I was surrounded at the end by loved ones. As I waited for the end a massive crash came behind me knocking me onto Leven and flinging us into the snow. Getting myself up I checked to make sure Leven was alright before turning around and seeing another dragon between us and Stragnarax. You could still see Stragnarax behind him so large was he, but this new white dragon was still massive in its own right.


 * Lornax1.jpg"I had spent my entire existence hearing about the humans madness and violence but in this young human I saw nothing but hope. He was what would bring us out of the darkness and back to the light."


 * -Lornax

Lornax and Flarnax would attempt to better understand the reasoning behind why William had risked everything to come here, and why they should listen. William was able to come to a sort of understandign with the curious Lornax of whom he convinsed he was no harm too and he simply wanted to regain what had been lost between the Dragons and the humans of Lucerne. Flarnax would make the argument that the days of the dragon were sliding away and if nothing changed they would be wiped out. Lornax would agree and they both said that if the time came for trouble or they needed help then they would be able to count on the White Dovah by their side. William as they were leaving made Lornax and Flarnax aware that the Dragons were rising in the east under the Empire of Dragonstone, and that these dragons appeared to be of the Red Dovah but were not led by a very large dragon as the White were.

 * "He became everything to me during my life. He was both my parents, he was the best sibling I could ask for, and he was the best friend in my life. How do you gauge the importance of someone that was everything to you."


 * -Alice Lovie

Alice even at an early age was doted on by Andrew. After her birth Alice and William's mother Kathy became struck with depression, and became very reclusive due to this depression. This reculisveness meant that Alice wasn't cared for as much, and would have made many young girls very sad and quiet creatures. But while her mother ignored her, and her father resented her over her relationship with Andrew. It was Andrew that was always by her side. Andrew spent a large part of his early childhood feeding Alice, and rocking her when she couldnt go to sleep. In fact the neglect towards Alice got to such a level that Andrew took her out of his mother's room and brought her basinet into his room. It was during this time that the two's unbreakeable love would be formed. No matter what happened in her life she always found that Andrew was by her side. During this time so close were the two that no maids or servents were able to enter the room without William hovering over them, for a silent fear that his father would kill his young sister. The young four year old William understood to a growing extent that his father truly despised his sister, and though during this time he had a silent affection for his father, this slowly eroded as he watched the way his sister was treated.




 * "She was the first person to capture my heart. I knew when I first saw her that I would do anything for her. You expect that feeling to diminish over time but the only thing I felt was an increasingly desperate desire to protect her."


 * -Andrew Lovie

As they both got older they grew even closer as they became the bedrock that formed and patterned every relationship that they would come to have in their lives. For Alice the act of making friends was something that she never seemed to grasp but through William she was able to meet many people that her shyness would never have allowed her to otherwise. Their lives would be irrecrably damaged when she was removed from the collective memory and made to live in Forks. In this new lifestyle both she and William would not truly understand why they became so sad but they felt empty without their sibling and best friend, and for William this was so painful that he entered a coma. For Alice she attempted to be strong but the relationship between the two was so strong that when they met eachother again during The Journey they would nearly instantly feel that connection again, even though that should not have been possible due to the intervention of Bill Lovie. Eventually though they came back together and they basically moved right back into the closeness and love that they had before the disasters caused by Bill Lovie. Alice would during this growth become perhaps the closest confidant to the now King of Lucerne, and in this position she joined alongside his wife Bella Swan to become the public face of House Lovie, and they became responsible for a large amount of the public outreach done by House Lovie to rebuild the shattered trust under Bill Lovie.



Sean Lovie

"I wished me and Sean could have been closer. But to me even when we were children he seemed different. He seemed like something to be afraid of. In a way unlike the danger one might feel from my fighting skill, he eminated an almost evil feeling from him."

-Andrew Lovie

The relationship between Andrew and Sean would come to be a very big conflict in the Kingdom of Lucerne. Originally Andrew was very affectionate towards his brother, but once Sean got older, it became clear to Andrew that the shy, almost wierd Sean wasn't much fun. At this selfish age it appears Andrew made a choice to basically ignore his brother, and spent all of his time with Alice and his friends.

Andrew became very disturbed when Alice came to him and told him that Sean had begun acting inapropriate towards her. Andrew unlike anyone elce did not question even for a moment his beloved sister, and instead nearly immediatly went after Sean Lovie. This would lead to the Fight on the Stairs, and basically the destruction of whatever could have been between the two brothers.

Sean would eventually upon the return of Andrew from his journey leave with Bill Lovie, and found and lead the True Sons of Lucerne. His and Andrew's conflict would finnally end with Andrew's victory in the battle of Berne, and with this in place the two dueled, and Andrew killed him.

"In the end I got to say goodbye to my brother. In the end whatever evil he had done, whatever hate we had for eachother was gone as I held my dying brother in my arms. I forgave him for everything in that moment."

-Andrew Lovie



Bella Swan
See Also : Bella Swan

After deciding to go on the journey the whole Kingdom was overflowing with excitement over the possibility of seeing one of the reclusive Royal family members. This journey would lead Andrew first to Forks City. When the group arrived at Forks, they were immediatly set upon by the city, and as with all stops on the journey it took Andrew hours to make it towards the center of the settlement. Once he had finished discussing the city and the actual Kingdom with Charles, he asked if there was a guide to assist him in seeing the city. At just this time Bella came in and Andrew asked if she might accompany him.

For some reason the usually deathly quiet Bella agreed to this and she led Andrew on a tour of Forks.

"She's my souls counterpart. There is a huge part of my heart that cannot be without her. I love Bella Swan. There is a part of me that will always wonder whether it's Bella or Brooke. But in the end I stay with Bella, and that has to mean everything. It has to."

-Andrew Lovie



Brooke Scott
See Also : Brooke Scott

Following the Second Battle of Tree Hill, Andrew entered the city of Tree Hill in order to meet with the Lord of the city. After an hour of being kissed and hugged by the citizens of the city he made it to the center of the town. It was at the exact moment that he locked eyes with her that he knew.

"It was like looking into perfection. I had been with many women in my life, and in the span of three weeks I was finding myself doing something for the second time. I was falling in love again. I could feel my heart flutter at the sight of her, and even though I love Bella I couldn't help myself. I needed to feel her. To hear her voice. I needed her..."

-Andrew Lovie

Andrew in that moment was torn greatly. He knew that he loved Bella but he found himself unable to resist the temptation that was Brooke Scott. The two after meeting would be overcome by their feelings and had sex in a barn. This wouldn't stop there as that night Brooke would come to his place in Tree Hill and they would continue on that night. Following this William would return to Lucerne though and while there he would marry Bella Swan after discovering that she was pregnant with his child. It would be months before William was able to reconect with Brooke and by this point she was far along in her pregnancy and now William and Brooke's relationship would be put to the most extreme of tests.



Amber Heard II.
See Also : Amber Heard II.

Amber Heard was the first girl Andrew ever slept with. This relationship continued for over a year, and it was only when Alice Lovie was lost to his mind that he withdrew from her. Amber was emotionally destroyed by his leaving her, and has never really moved on from him.

She now cares for the son that she had from him. Andrew knows nothing about this child, and Amber has so much love for Andrew that she refuses to ever damage him by being a source of drama for his Kingship. She has vowed to take the secret to the grave.

"In a different time she would be my wife. I loved her. Looking back now I have no doubt of that. She was just another casualty of the madness of my father."

-Andrew Lovie Amber Heard II. and Andrew would would together face the final conflict in the Battle of Berne in which after Andrew exhausted all attempts he knew of to get Sean to spare his first love Amber he came to realize that Sean was going to kill Amber no matter what happened and in this moment said goodbye to the girl that he had loved with his entire heart but wasn't able to show her her truly how much he had loved her.

"I'm so sorry Amber. This shouldn't be how it ends. It should end on some beautiful note. Our story should end in happiness. It shouldn't end this way...I know now what I didn't understand then. I know now that the world I saw what nothing more then an illusion. I became obsessed with all the things in life that didn't matter and I forgot to tell you how much I love you. Because I still love you. I love you with everything I am, and this end doesn't sit right with me, and I fear I will be haunted by the memories of all the things I never said."

-William Lovie III.



Britney Hemsworth
See Also : Britney Hemsworth

She and Andrew were for Andrew nothing more then an extremely sexual relationship, and for their time together he was also with numerous other girls and was under no illusions about his poor morals. For Britney this was her lover for life, and though she discovered his infidelity she forgave him in her mind because she believed herself to be failing him sexually. This unhealthy relationship would eventually end when Andrew became withdrawn due to an argument he had with Alice about his playboy way of living.

This caused Bill to give up on Britney, and she was returned to Arnor. Unknown to everyone was the fact that she did not return to Arnor immediatly after Bill sent her away, and since Bill cared so little about her he didn't even check to make sure she had gotten back to Arnor.

"Her appeal was obvious. She was so tempting that there would be times that I had no interest whatsoever and her body would make me change my mind. It ended because I hated what I became with her. It ended the moment our sex turned violent. I guess it ended the moment her body caused me to lose myself."

-Andrew Lovie

In truth this lack of oversight would hide the fact that while William believed the relationship over he had left Britney pregnant and she silently carried the child to term while remaining hidden in Arnor. During this time she made her family believe she was still in Lucerne and they had no reason to doubt her so noone was worried about her absence. When she finally gave birth to the baby she would attempt to return to Lucerne but when she did she found Andrew was depressed over the loss of Alice who Britney remembered but didn't say anything as she discussed the princes unhappiness with the people. As she was going to meet with Andrew she was stopped by Jasper Hale of whome knew what she represented and made a judgement call that she needed to go and she needed to go quickly. Seeing the baby in her hands Jasper knew immediatly whose child that was and thus he quickly shuffled her out of the city through the use of his House Hale soilders. When she arrived back in Arnor she continued to love William and this would come to define her as she attempted to gain power with the single minded goal of returning to William in a position that would be one he found honorable. She believed that in her mind she was the one for William but how could he ever have accepted her while she was so weak.



Hanna Arryn

Hanna Arryn became very close with Andrew and Alice during her stay in Lucerne. The three formed a very close bond, that became only stronger as the months went by of her staying there.

Andrew grew almost as protective of Hanna while she stayed in Lucerne as he did for Alice, and she joined them in staying in Andrew's room only a month into her staying in Lucerne.

"Edward and the guys used to always give me shit about having Hanna staying in my bed all the time, and I could never truly make them understand that it wasn't sexual. She was like my sister."

-Andrew Lovie



Bill Lovie
See Also : Bill Lovie

Andrew was the golden child. The moment Bill layed his eye on him he knew that he had found his heir. Everything for Bill was going perfectly. He now had his heir to the throne, and the construction of Berne was well underway. It was only after the birth of his second son Sean that things began to take a turn for the worse. The failure of Sean made Bill angry and he began to take this anger out on everyone around him including his wife Kathy. When Andrew saw the way his father treated his mother, his opinion of Bill changed. Bill noticed the change. No longer did Andrew look at his with respect, there was hate in his eyes now. Unfortunatly for Alice it was at this time that she was born.

The hate that Bill showed Alice was the final straw for Andrew and their relationship was forever destroyed.

"I hate him so much it makes my blood boil. He has been responsible for all the immoral actions that have happened in this Kingdom in the entire time he's been alive. He deserves death, and I only hope I'm King enough to do it."

-Andrew Lovie



Emmett McCarty
See Also : Emmett McCarty

Emmett McCarty and Andrew Lovie first met eachother when Emmett came to work at the Lucernian Academy as a servent for the aristocrat children that were training there.

It wasn't until Andrew spoke to Emmett that he was truly a part of anything happy during his time in Lucerne. The two bonded quickly and before Emmett knew what was happening Andrew had introduced him to Jasper, and Edward and these three friends would go on to define Emmett his whole life

"He was so tall. With his size he should have been confident, but when I looked at him he looked completely scared. Ten years later and sometimes I still get that same feeling when I look at him. I dont think it'll matter what he accomplishes, or becomes he'll just always be Emmett."

-Andrew Lovie



Karl Franz
See Also : Karl Franz

"A lot of people prayed that the two of us would somehow breach the gap between the Empire and the rest of Europe. To those people I say from the bottom of my heart that I'm sorry. I cannot cross a gap that is constantly widened by the arrogance, and blind supremisist beliefs of the Empire."

-William Lovie III.

Andrew Lovie and Karl Franz had started their relationship in a generally positive way. When Andrew was crowned the two sent letters back and forth, and so this led to a lot of positive thoughts for what their first meeting would be like. When the two did meet it was a month before the Invasion of Westbridge, and it was in the southern part of Westbridge.

When the two met they nearly immediatly didn't get along, and past the customary kindness to a fellow leader the two were trading insults, and threats throughout the entire conversation. This eventually led to Andrew Lovie storming out, and threatening that any attack on Arnor would be counted as a direct attack on Lucerne.

Leven Martell

Leven Martell attended the Lucernian Academy and when she arrived there her sister was in her last year which meant the two close sisters were very similar when they both were at school together. This mean that for her first year Leven was a determined student and was constantly attempting to get better at fighting, and during the last months of her fist year in the academy she grew close to Andrew Lovie, and Jasper Hale. This was during the time when Britney Hemsworth was still in the picture and thus Andrew was a very wild young man with little control over himself, and when he met Leven he was quickly able to seduce the buaetiful and intelligent but still naive young girl into his bed. During this period she was one of the main girls that he was with and she when her sister left she became even more emotionally involved with Andrew, and this continued even during the chaotic days that came about when Britney Hemsworth lost the affection of Andrew. Britney and Leven came to fight eachother on several occasions at school as the two girls fought over the affection of Andrew who was at this point moving on to Amber Heard II. of whome he would become actually emotionally involved.



Jasper Hale
See Also : Jasper Hale

"Before Edward had left I would have easily said that he was my best friend but when he did leave us and I got a chance to expand I realized who Jasper really was. He was loyal to a fault. He was devoted to his friends and you never had to guess who, or what he actually cared for as he wore his emotions on his sleeve. He became my best friend out of happenchance but I wouldn't have it any other way."

-William Lovie III.

Jasper Hale and William Lovie would first come to meet eachother after their parents placed them on a list of children that should become friends. For their parents a relationship between the two was good for both sides and thus when they got along during their first time together both parents were happy. During their growth as friends they would at first come to be defined by their loyalty to the foursome group they assembled, but with the departure of Edward Cullen the two of them would become known for a different sort of behavior. When Edward left the two of them became closer to eachtoher and through this they begin to emulate the mistakes of the other, and this led to them becoming quite premisquious with the women of the Lucernian Academy. They would grow out of this though and after a brief period where they argued they were the closest of the foursome to eachtoher, and this would only grow when during the Journey Jasper would begin to formulate the idea of being the leader of a gaurd unit that would be responsible for defending William.



Edward Cullen
See Also : Edward Cullen

"People always called him my moral compass and I guess that always kind of irked me because it made a statement that I was some headstrong child. The worst part is that they were right about his effect on me and the group, and it took me years to accept that truth. I no longer think his control over our morals is a weakeness because I know that he is loyal to us, and would never let anything happen to the group."

-William Lovie III.

Edward Cullen and William Lovie III. would first meet eachtoher on the first day of their respective entries into the Lucernian Academy. When they first met Edward was a shy and strange young boy who felt extremely intimidated by the popular William. This didn't last long as William was drawn to the silent kindness of Edward and the two grew into strong friends despite the fact that his best friend Jasper Hale did not particularly like him. Edward and William would grow to be extremely close and this bond would lead to a serious event when Edward was forced to leave Lucerne for Hogwarts after the four friends discovered his Magi powers. After trying to stop Edward from leaving William felt betrayed that Edward had left, and this only escalated as during his departure the three remaining friends deteriated morally.

 * "Keenclaw was a loyal friend, that I never had to worry about. So loyal and so loving was he that I became almost ignorant of how much he did for me."


 * -William Lovie III.

Keenclaw and William Lovie III. have been together since William was first given him as an egg for his fifth birthday. Keenclaw would be raised by William Lovie in the Sky Tower, and would take the nest of the ancient Stragnarax which lay barren since the departure of the Dragons from Lucerne. In his role as the Griffon of the prince of Lucerne he became fanatical loyal to the young prince, and was present during nearly every important thing in the young prince's life. Keenclaw would became especially close as well to Alice Lovie and her griffon Slyclaw of whom they would fly together many times once Alice learned how to comfortably fly Slyclaw. Keenclaw would accompany William on the journey, and during his fight against the Orc during the Battle of Minas Ithil Keenclaw would land beside his master and fight beside the young prince before William mounted him and together they chased the retreating forces of the Orcs. More recently Keenclaw has taken William for his meetings with Brooke Scott in the mountains of Lucerne and loyally flies overhead constantly searching for threats to his master.

 * Robb_Starke.jpg"He was a braver young man then I think anyone gave him credit for, but the main thing that struck me about him was his beliefs. He cared so much about Lucernian society that I couldn't believe he was the son of Bill Lovie."
 * -Robb Starke

William Lovie III. and Robb Starke would first meet eachother when William first travelled to Stormwind during the events of The Journey. When they first met they got along well enough, and Robb Starke was kept close to William during the overal Journey as Eddard believed that William would get along better with someone around his age, and thus bring him closer to House Starke then House Lannister. This strategy worked well as Robb grew to become friends with both William and his carefree friend Emmett McCarty. While Robb was perhaps closer with Emmett during this time he still was quite close with the young prince who during this time was having trouble with the constant fake personalities that he met on the trip.
 * "It was a nice thing to meet someone while we were on the road that I felt like I had something truly in common with. So many during that time just wanted something from me, and to have him appear to genuinly care about the conversation was something I wouldn't quickly forget."
 * -William Lovie III.

This friendship would continue as the forces of House Lovie would move closer to House Starke when they constructed the Port of Stormwind, and it was Robb Starke that was the main communicater between William and House Starke. The two became close enough that following the death of Brooke Scott it was Robb Starke that was one of the few people that William confided in over how depressed he was about her death. While Robb was never privy to the extent of the relationship between William and Brooke he was very much aware of how much William felt for her.

Andrew Lovie was unable to be the person for Brooke that he wanted, and this caused him much hardship emotionally. Despite his love for Bella Swan, his true love remained with Brooke Scott.

This created the conflict, when for Andrew it appeared that Julian was attempting to move in on Brooke. For Brooke this was all a game to get Andrew's attention, and although Andrew didn't know he proved Brooke's point.
