A True Villanueva

      Austin laughed as his dad nervously paced while he stuttered through a prepared speech about the topic of Austin's birth : he was adopted. "Dad, I've known that since the fourth grade."  Miguel stopped abruptly, "You knew already?" His face hardened in anger," Did your brothers tell you?"  Laughing again, "No, dad, I knew because I look nothing like you and Mariano and Jose. I'm super pale, I have blue eyes and blonde hair, people still get surprised when I speak spanish to them. Honestly if I hadn't figured it out by now, that's would be pretty sad."  Adamant, Miguel defends his logic," But there are plenty of times when genes like that make it through anyway!" Deflating some, Miguel continues, "Ay, if only Theresa were here today, she would know just  what to say, ay Mijo."  Austin gives his dad a hug, "Dad, honestly it's fine, I've always been a Villanueva, and I always will be, you an

Knighthood Part 4

It seemed like only a few moments before Sebastian was shaken awake by the Queen's maid, "Sir Knight! Did you release the prisoners? Where have they all gone?"  Sebastian sat up abruptly, his hairy pecs glistening in the high moonlight, heaving as he breathed wildly "Gods above! I thought it was a dream! Listen, I'm unsure how, but the prisoners must've picked the lock while I slept, I had this wild dream that we had all, um, had relations, afterwards, I jokingly wished that they could be my personal harem, and could do all manor of tasks, like woodcutting and such." The maid looked at him dubiously, after a few seconds of silence, she opened her mouth to reply when she was interrupted by the sound of a massive tree falling. The sudden proof presenting itself to her, Ana decided to believe this knight. "Sir Knight, we have to retrieve the prisoners so that they can face proper justice in the capital, would you kindly round them up again? If what you

Knighthood Part 3

The harsh sunbeam blinded him as he opened his eyes. Groaning, Sebastian rose up, unable to remember what happened the previous night.  "Oh good! You're awake, my lady bid me to fetch you something you could wear, I've left it over in the corner on the stool. Come out when you've dressed, Sir Knight," The maid curtsied and moved for the door, "Thank you for saving us, such a peculiar magic you possess, but strange or not it worked, if I can do anything to assist your endeavors, just let me know." Before Sebastian had a chance to reply, she had left the tent, leaving him alone again. Groaning more as he moved, feeling sore and impossibly aroused, he suddenly remembered the battle last night. A flush of embarrassment overtook him as he realized that the people who he had saved and were now hosting him in their caravan had seen him completely naked and exposed. He bid himself not to think of what happened after he fell unconscious lest his embarrassment con

Knighthood Part 2

The road was long, and he had only little over a month to arrive in the capital for the Knighting. Sensing his worry, the soon-to-be knight's mare whinnied, kicking a bit of mud around.  "I know girl, we should make it in time, but I'm more so worried about arriving in this ridiculously undersized gear! None of my armor fits me anymore and my sword is little better than a letter opener, I can't arrive before the Queen like this!" Sebastian exclaimed, raising his arms into the air dramatically.  The horse huffed.  "Oh don't act like that! I had no way of knowing that Sir Belcor's rune would transform me!" The man declared, crossing his arms.  A long silence passed. "Oh fine! Alright? I should've been careful and will be more so in the future, although I don't necessarily hate  my new form, it is certainly better at slaying the evils of this world than my previous self."  Exasperated, Sebastian laid down on his mare's back, si

Knighthood Part 1

 Sebastian couldn't believe his ears when he heard his name called. He had been hand chosen by the Knight Commander to be formally promoted into a real Knight, not a Squire! He was so excited! He'd get to kneel before the Queen herself, and pledge to aid her decree with every fiber of his being, though the years of apprenticeship had been incredibly long and grueling, he would finally get to venture out and help people. Sure, he doubted that he would find himself fighting dragons in volcanic lairs or battling against an army of the undead like the village storyteller used to always talk about. He knew his experience with Knighthood would be much less fanciful and full of whimsy, but he didn't care about that. Frankly, he was just happy to be able to earn a living doing something besides farming like his father or serving in a castle like his mother. He loved them both dearly, but he yearned for a life in service to the people directly, he didn't want to feed them or was
