[robertita]

Situated on a wide defensible spit of land that runs out into the cold, dark, deep Naramin Lake sits the heavily fortified Castle Maglor the ancestral home of the Family Maglor. The castle is only approachable from the land side by a road/ track way that runs through the dark and inhospitable Valyan Forest, this vast untamed wilderness that harkens back to when all of central and eastern Europe was covered with wood land teems with wild boar, bears and wolves as well as many lesser creatures and an abundance of flora. There is also rumours of boggat, ghouls and willowisps and other worldly creatures.

The castle itself, a large well fortified bailey set about a heavily protected central citidel has been the ancestral home of the Maglor Family for over 900 years the massively thick walls keeping them and theirs safe in a dangerous and ever changing world.

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

Height: 180

Position: Seme

 

Biography: The present head and last direct living member of von Maglor family. Quietly spoken with a very pleasant tenor voice and introspective he spends almost all his free time in the well stocked castle library doing research or in his private lab carrying out experiments aimed toward some great private goal. A shy and polite individual he is not very sociable preferring his own company and that of his faithful man servant to that of others. He enjoys music and poetry, reading, astronomy and biology, he hunts and fishes for both pleasure and research. He has a pleasant singing voice and a high IQ. His intelligence is only marred by his inability to remain fully focused at all times he occasionally wanders off mentally picking flowers. He has however devoted his adult life to the pursuit of some great personal goal. Whilst he is tall and thin he does carry some very definite muscle definition but of the runner rather than athlete type. Most of the time he wears his hair in a single plait at the back but when he allows it to flow freely combined with his high cheek bones and angularity it gives him an ethereal and other worldly appearance .Whilst he always dresses appropriately for any given situation he always appears well dressed and stylish.

Bastion looked around the brightly lit ante-chamber checking to make sure the fire was properly lit,and that there was extra wood if needed.After checking that the bottle of Tokay was at the correct temperature he made sure the crystal goblets were clean. He then made sure that that the windows were properly closed and the long velvet curtains tightly drawn before checking himself in the full length mirror that was attached to the wall opposite the fire place. he smiled a little shyly at the reflection staring back at him, his green silver flecked eyes taking in the short cropped black hair the honest open face and determined jaw line. His eyes traveled on over the slight but muscular chest and abdomen tonight clad in a tight white pure silk shirt with gold filigree relief and on to what he thought was his best features his pert muscular buttocks and shapely legs which tonight were clad in black tights that accentuated the muscles. "Looking good" he thought, this should help impress the masters guests when they arrive . Which he thought as he looked at the grand father clock should be any time now. After one last glance in the mirror he walked over to a large oak door that led into the Barons research labaratory, knocking on it three times he called out" Dominus ? your guests they will soon be here" . No answer came from within. Shaking his head he knocked again , still no answer.Grasping the door knob he turned it sharply clock wise and opened the door,looking in side the room he felt the familiar tightening of his chest as he saw the Baron bent over his work desk looking at some thing in his microscope.

[robertita]

The handsome blond man from the laboratory was Baron von Maglor, the heir of Maglor family. Even he was in his laboratory he was dressed in an elegant brown suit. It has been more than 8 years since this laboratory has been his life. The Baron was in his lab for more than 10 hours and nothing can make him to leave it. The laboratory was huge and it was his favorite place from the castle, along with the library. The Baron has invested in it a lot of money and he had one of the most modern laboratories from the world. After his parents' death he came back home from Paris and ordered the laboratory’s building. Nobody knew what the Baron was searching, not even Bastion, his loyal servitor and the only one who had the right to enter on laboratory.

Being concentrate with his microscope he didn’t hear his loyal servitor knocking the door. After his servant entered the room the Baron asked “Yes Bastion? What it is?”

[toby2663]

" Your guests will be arriving shortly Dominus" he replied bowing slightly to the Baron "lt is time for you to go and prepare to greet them, l have taken the liberty of having a bath drawn for you and of having your new suit laid out." Well aware that if he was left to his own devices the Baron would swiftly drift off into his own internal world only to emerge later looking confused and bemused at what was happening around him. "They have been travelling for many days with this information for you Baron " he said, then playing the trump card that he knew would keep the Baron focused he added " lt may be of vital importance to your work ,Dominus"

[robertita]

The Baron forgot his new manuscript arrives today. He was looking for it so long time, an ancient manuscript which is more than essential for his scientific researches. "Yes Bastion. I will be in my room. Call me when they arrive." After bowing Bastion left the laboratory. Baron went to a secret door hide by a heavy brown curtain. Then he ran up the stairs to his room on the first floor. He quickly threw his clothes and entered the bathroom for a warm bath. After the bath he came back to his room and he dressed his new blue suit imported from Paris. Dark blue was his favorite color because it looks good with his blue eyes and white skin. His new shoes were waiting for him too. The Baron brushed his blond hair and tied it back with a white bow. Then he opened a drawer and took a pair of white gloves. He was now ready to receive his foreign guests.

[toby2663]

After leaving the Barons research lab Bastion headed down to the entrance hall. Catching the eye of the understairs boy he beckoned him over . After instructing him to wait at the castle gates till the guests were sighted then to come and inform him he visited the kitchen to confirm that all was under control. On returning to the ante-chamber he began to run through his check list again, grinning sheepishly at his reflection in the mirror he told himself to calm down. He was well aware why he felt flustered and on edge ,it was the Barons fault as his research had intensified he had been paying less and less attention to Bastion. lt was nearly a fortnight now since the Baron had last used Bastion for relaxation and he badly missed the smell feel and taste of him. He was hopeful that the combination of good news about the manuscript and the suit of clothes that he had chosen to serve the Baron in tonight would have the desired effect. bastion having checked the rooms readiness for a final time ascended the stairs to the Barons private suite.Standing out side the ornately carved door and hoping the Baron was not yet out of his bath he took a deep breath and knocked loudly.

[robertita]

Hearing Bastion knocking on the door the Baron opened the door. “Did they arrive?” Bastion nodded. The Baron descended the stairs and went to the lounge where he was expected by two guests. When they saw the Baron they stand up and bow. Judging by their clothes the guests were from Orient. “It's been a long time since we last met Ahmed”. “Your Highness” Ahmed bowed again. “I hope you have good news for me”. “ Yes, Your Highness” Ahmed answered. “We'll talk more after dinner”. The two guests bowed again. The Baron and his guests went to the dinning room. Bastion, after pulled his master’s chair so the Baron can sit, ordered the food to be served. “All the food was cooked especially for you, eat as much as you want”. “Thank you, Your Highness” Ahmed bowed again and started to eat. “Bastion did a great job as usual” the Baron thought. After the dinner the Baron invited the guests to a glass of wine. “ In your last letter you said you had something for me Ahmed”. “As Your Highness know in my last trip to Cairo I found what you are looking for a long time. It is priceless, Your Highness”. Ahmed bowed. “Murad”. “ Yes milord”. “Show to His Highness our treasure”. Murad pulled a small silver chest and then open it. In the middle of it was an old papyrus. The Baron took him and read a little. It was the information he needed. “ I will pay anything for it”. After the deal ended the guests went back in the town. The Baron took his treasure in his room. “Now my dreams will come true”.

[toby2663]

After escorting the Barons visitors to the main gate and making sure the were safely on there way by carriage through the forest Bastion called by the kitchen to thank the cook for the excellent meal and to collect a bottle of champagne as he knew the Baron would want to celebrate the successful conclusion of his venture. A quick tour of the ground floor whilst kitchen staff organised ice buckets and champagne flutes showed that everything was secure and that nothing was amiss, after having the tray with ice-bucket,champagne and flute sent up to the Barons floor in the dumb waiter Bastion ascended the stairs. On his arrival he collected the tray from the dumb waiter and walked to the door of the Barons suite of rooms, after knocking once he entered knowing that he was expected. "l thought you may wish to celebrate the successful conclusion of your business venture Dominus" he said with a smile setting down the tray on the table near where the Baron was examining the papyrus manuscript.

[robertita]

The Baron heard Bastion knocking at door. "Enter" he said with a happy voice. As every night his loyal servitor came to prepare his bed. The Baron raised his head and saw the champagne Bastion prepared to celebrate his new deal. "Ah my Bastion you think of everything, l really would be at a loss with out you by my side. You do know that don't you? said the Baron smiling happily at his servant." Bastion bowed and after that he went to the bed chamber. The Baron looked after him “Definitely we are going to celebrate tonight Bastion” he thought. After that he took the papyrus and put it in his silver chest.

[toby2663]

Bastion his heart beating a little faster entered the Barons bed chamber,smiling to himself he thought "it's a while since the Baron has looked at me quite like that." His spirits lifting and unable to stop himself humming a favorite tune he walked over to the Barons fourposter bed and started to turn the covers down, having made sure the Barons night clothes and dressing gown were to hand he left the bed chamber. As he walked over to were the Baron was sat he set his face into a neutral expression .(the first lesson he had learnt never be oppotunistic always allow the Dominus to set the pace) "Everything is in order dominus " he said bowing "Is there anything else you require of me tonight" he asked with down cast eyes blushing slightly remembering the look the Baron had given him earlier.

[robertita]

“Yes, Bastion. Please enjoy a glass of champagne with me.” Bastion bowed and began to pour champagne in glasses. The Baron noted that his faithful servant turned red when their eyes met. Bastion turned and gave Baron a full glass of the best champagne. Baron stood up. “For my success Bastion”. Baron drank all in one bite while Bastion barely sipped from his. “ Drink all Bastion. Don’t be shy”. The Baron knew that his loyal servant felt embarrassed drinking in the presence of his master. Bastion managed to drink all his cup then bowing in front of Baron. “One more” said Baron and handed his cup to be filled again. The two continued to drink until they finished the champagne bottle. “We finished the champagne Bastion. Now is the time for the real celebration” Baron said before pushed Bastion to his bed chamber.

[toby2663]

As Bastion felt the Barons firm hands on his arm and chest it seemed like a spark of electricity surged through finger tips making him tingle where it touched,his pulse quickened and his breathing became more rapid. He could smell the Barons expensive cologne and feel the heat coming off him ,he had never known the Baron be so forceful so dominant and he liked it. Usually lf the Baron required help relaxing then it was a gentle almost placid union between them but tonight the Baron was almost unrecognizable ,as they entered the bed chamber Bastion was spun round by the Barons suprisingly strong arms to face him. Leaning in the Baron gently at first captured Bastions soft full lips licking and nibbling on them ,his tongue forcing them apart as the Baron deepened the kiss and started to explore Bastions mouth while at the same time his hands were wandering over his back and torso causing little waves of pleasure to overwhelm Bastions mind. As they broke apart panting slightly for air Bastion looked at the baron with adoring eyes "Dominus ?" he murmered.

[robertita]

The Baron was so happy to hold Bastion in his arms again; every time Baron needed to relax, Bastion was there for him. It's been so long since Bastion was in his hands so all what the Baron wanted was to feel the silk skin of Bastion again. Hearing Bastion uttered his pet name – his loyal servitor was the only one to call him Dominus – the Baron smiled. He pulled out his gloves and gently touched Bastion‘s cheeks “Bastion, my loyal Bastion”, then his hands went down to the young man chest. The Baron started to unbutton Bastion’s green vest, then pulled it out and threw it away. He kissed Bastion briefly before repeating the same operation with the shirt. Bastion began to tremble being half naked in front of his master. The Baron contemplated for a moment Bastion’s slim body and gently pushed him to bed. Bastion fell in the middle of the huge bed and Baron lay beside him. The Baron stared into Bastion’s eyes for a moment, then started to lick Bastion’s ear while caressing his neck. Bastion's moans made Baron to lift his head and unite his lips with those of Bastion. He started with a tenderly kiss that deepened as Baron hands down lower and lower on Bastion’s abdomen.

[toby2663]

As the barons hand moved lower Bastion could feel a familiar pressure starting to build " No Dominus my turn" and with those words Bastion rolled the baron over onto his back. Kneeling by the side of the Baron and looking down at his exquisite features Bastion could only wonder at his own forwardness. "Please Dominus allow me l will make you feel good " with that he started to cover the Barons face and eyelids with soft gentle butterfly kisses and began stroking his hair. As he captured the Barons soft plump lips in his own and started to lick and nibble on them he used the distraction to undo the top few buttons of the Barons shirt and sneak a hand in to caress the Barons smooth chest and to gently stroke and tease the Barons nipples. As the Baron gasped slightly at the waves of pleasure that he was starting to feel Bastion used the opportunity to slide his tongue in the Barons mouth and to start to explore, licking and biting gently on the barons tongue they were both soon moaning with pleasure. After a few moments that felt like a life time they pulled apart gasping for breath, grinning down at the Barons flushed and surprised face Bastion lent down and started to kiss his neck and now exposed collar bones feeling the Baron shudder slightly as he increased the strength of the kisses and sucking. Bastions hands had now completely undone the Barons shirt and exposed the the smooth beautiful chest and torso to the night air, as his hands stroked and teased the Barons chest and nipples he started to moan louder, Excited by the noises he was causing the Baron to make Bastion moved down from the collar bone and captured the Barons left nipple in his mouth circling the areola with his tongue gently he allowed the tip to flick over the little bud every so often causing the Baron to cry out . the Baron was now running his hands through Bastions hair and over his neck and shoulders and from the growing bulge that Bastion could feel pressing against him was enjoying what was happening. Changing over to the other nipple with his mouth Bastion used his left hand to open the belt buckle on the Barons trousers and then the top button. Slipping his hand inside Bastion started to gently stroke and caress the length of the Barons erection causing him to gasp and shiver. ln response to the Barons heightened excitement Bastion started to move down from the nipple along and across the abdomen kissing and gently biting as he went until he reached the Barons exposed erection. Taking the head in his mouth licking and sucking and vigorously stroking the shaft Bastion soon brought the Baron to climax. Looking up at the Baron ,Bastion smiled at his flushed and disheveled face "Was that alright my beloved Dominus" he asked.

[robertita]

“ Yes Bastion, as always” Baron smiled. “We will go to Paris in a few days. Please prepare everything for our trip”. Bastion nodded and after he recovered his clothes on the floor he bowed and went to his room. He was the only servitor who slept near the Baron’s rooms. After Bastion's departure, Baron went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Even he knew Bastion’s feelings for him, the Baron didn’t have the same feelings for his servant. Bastion knew it very well. “But then why his eyes were so sad when I asked him to leave?” the Baron thought. Returned to his room, once he put his head on pillow he fell asleep. Later, he didn’t hear Bastion came back in his room, taking his clothes to be washed. Bastion’s eyes were full of tears. He covered Baron with a blanket and kissed him soft on lips before left the room.

[toby2663]

After leaving the Barons bed chamber for the final time Bastion deposited the dirty clothes in the laundry hamper and returned to his own room.Settling down at his desk he took a few moments to collect his thoughts, why could the Baron not see how he feels or if he can why does he not at least acknowledge the fact and say No! Bastion this much and no more ,this far and no further. He knew they could never be seen together publicly as anything more than master and servant and he was fine with that ,oh but how he wished that when they were in private the Baron whom he was convinced felt the same way about him as he felt about the Baron would let the mask slip a little. Sighing heavily at the unfairness of the cruel , wicked and sinful world into which they were born he turned his mind to the Parisien expedition he thought the trip would take around four months and they would need four coaches, one for the Baron one for the guards and two for the servants and luggage. He needed to decide which of the other servants had shown promice recently and would benefit from this trip, the Baron chef would have to go as he was the only one whom bastion trusted to prepare the Barons food.The guards would be made up from six of the Barons most loyal troops with himself acting as the last line of defence if necessary he would double up as he Barons valet as well as his usual duties it would mean more work for him but also much more time with the Baron.So he just needed to sort out five more servants one to assist the chef and four to do the fetching and carrying for the Baron. With his list made out he felt much better it was only a party of 14 as it was only a short trip to aquire supplies for the Barons experiments but it still involved some work.He remembered as a child the stories his grand father told of the Barons grand fathers trips, some times with a retinue of over a hundred servants and guards how much work would that have involved ? After finalising his orders Bastion undressed and retired to his own bed alone, secretly wishing that it was to another bed that was close by he was going. When he was awakened the following morning by the kitchen boy with a cup of tea he started to put his plans from the previous evening into place ,the kitchen boy was dispatched to instruct the stable master to attend on Bastion in half an hour to be followed by the chef and the seneschal and finally the captain of the Barons guard after each had recieved there instructions and confirmed they understood what was required he dispatched a middle ranking servant with a list of villages ,towns etc between the castle and the City of Paris to secure accomodation in advance. After all this had been taken care of he took him self to the Barons labaratory and having knocked on the door entered. "Dominus all arangements have been made ,we may depart in twenty four hours" he said with a low bow.

[robertita]

The Baron smiled “ Very well Bastion’. Bastion bowed and wanted to leave when Baron said. “ Soon I will finish the list of ingredients and I would like to take a horseback ride. It has been a long time since I rode last time. Just me and you Bastion. The servant bow and left the laboratory. The Baron read the papyrus one more time, cheek his list again and then he went to his room. He had to change in a riding suit. The Baron chose a black one with black gloves and beautiful black boots. He also took his dark hat with eagle feathers. He heard Bastion knocking the door. The Baron opened and saw Bastion was ready. “ Come on Bastion”. Baron arrived in the yard and saw his favourite stallion. “Cezar” the beautiful horse moved his head hearing his master. Baron received this Andalusian stallion from his father when he was 18. Bastion gave Baron a legs up. “ Thanks Bastion. Lets go”. Bastion bowed and after another servant gave him a legs up he followed his master into the woods.

[toby2663]

As they left the castle gates behind them and took the track way that led down to the lake bastion smiled to himself, it felt good to be out in the fresh air and sunshine away from the hustle and bustle of the castle. This would be a special time just the Baron and himself together with no interruptions if only for a few hours. As they rode along the track way the sun turning the tree lined road ahead into a green dappled tunnel almost as if they were traveling along under water, they rode along in the comfortable silence that comes with familiarity without the need to make futile small talk. A head bastion could see where the path left the forest and joined the lake side,it was one of his favorite places to be the peace and quiet was very therapeutic . He was pleased that the Baron had suggested they took this little trip out it was good to see the baron in the sunshine rather than the lab ,he worried that the baron spent to much time locked in doors working on his obscure experiments.Looking to where the baron was riding along lost in his own world bastions chest tightened, he looked so vulnerable and innocent like a lost angel and bastion knew he would do anything to protect him.After riding along in relative silence for a couple of hours the only noises being the general back ground sound of nature occuring they came to a small rocky out crop. Bastion smiled this had always been one of the barons favorite spots in his younger days during summer he would always escape to here when ever he could dragging bastion with him for company.The baron pulled on his horses reins to stop it, dismounting he turned bastion and with a broad smile on his face indicated that he dismount as well. " What now Dominus ?" bastion enquired.

[robertita]

The Baron looked at the lake and took a deep breath “It's been so long since I've been here Bastion. So quiet, so fresh air ... I missed all this.” Bastion nodded. “Let's take a bath, after all riding I feel the need to relax a little” the Baron said and began to undress. Bastion took the horses and tied them to a tree nearby. Then he waited for Baron to undress and gave him the clothes to put in a safe place. The Baron jumped into the water and began to swim as far from shore. The water was not as cold as he thought and his body advanced very fast through the water. During this time Bastion took his clothes off and entered in the water. After a while Baron stopped and turned to watch Bastion. “What a handsome man. It's getting sexy with each passing day ” Baron thought and then he said “ Come on Bastion, lets race to shore”. Bastion bowed and then jumped on water. He started to swim to where it was Baron, who was swimming in circles. When Bastion was near Baron, the Baron said” If you win the race, you will receive an award” and before Bastion had the chance to say something, the Baron kissed him briefly and then the race to shore began. Baron was in front of Bastion with a little but suddenly the Baron stopped and he yelled ” Bastion, help me”.

[toby2663]

Bastion swimming along behind the baron was trying to work out what the baron had meant by that kiss, as he was a better swimmer than the baron he could overtake him whenever he wanted .But why kiss him like that he normally would not do anything so affectionate in public , bastion was still musing about this when he heard the baron shout his name and ask for help. ln three or four powerful strokes he was at the barons side, the baron looking a little pale was trying to tread water but with little success "my leg ,cramp " he gasped as he floundered " help me please". Bastion caught hold of the baron with one arm and with powerful kicks started to head toward the shore line they soon reached shallower water and the baron was able to stand with bastions help as he hobbled towards dry land with bastions arm clamped firmly and protectively around his waist for support . " So bastion thats two rewards for you one for saving my life and the other for winning the race, what do you want ?" Ignoring the question bastion half carried half dragged the baron to a wide flat rock and sat him down ,kneeling by his side he examined the barons leg after which he started to vigorously rub and massage the calf and thigh muscles . " It was the cold water dominus it has made the muscles stiff" he said " don't worry this will soon get rid of the stiffness" turning round he smiled at the baron.

[robertita]

“I feel better Bastion” the Baron smile and then asked again” What do you want?” Bastion continued to massage Baron‘s foot and didn’t say a word. “Do you remember the day when my father brought you to me Bastion? I was just a kid but I remember you swore you'd take care of me all your life. It's been 20 years and you never broke your promise. You served me day and night and you never asked for anything. Today I give you the opportunity to ask for something and you don’t want anything. Why Bastion?” Bastion continued to remain silent. The Baron ordered “Go get my coat”. Bastion bowed and went for Baron’s clothes. “ Why he behaves like this? Baron thought. “Search in my coat Bastion and you will find a small silver box”. Bastion found the box and he wanted to hand it to Baron. “You can open it Bastion. It's my gift for you.” Last time Baron was in Paris he asked a jeweler to make a gold medallion for Bastion. Until now, busy with his research, Baron didn’t find an opportune moment to give it to Bastion. But last night Baron saw Bastion’s sad eyes so he decided to do this walk to their favourite childhood place. “ Come here. Let me put you the necklace” Baron asked. Bastion turned back so the Baron can put the necklace around his neck. “Now will you tell me your desire Bastion? ” Bastion faced the Baron and nodded before he started to kiss Baron’s soft lips.

[toby2663]

Looking the baron squarely in the eye bastion took a deep breath "you ask me what l want from you, what l desire from you. Very well l will put into words what you already know in your heart." bastion said " Hush now let me finish dominus" he continued placing a finger on the barons lips as he opened his mouth to speak. " From the very first moment l have loved you and only you,you were my world ,my life and my soul.l was brought up and trained with just one single task in mind with just one single purpose in life and that is to serve you dominus and it is my honour and pleasure to do so. l will serve you happily and diligently in any capacity you desire from servant to bed warmer. But now you ask me what l want, is it not obvious ?lt is you dominus, l want you to feel the same way for me as l feel for you. l want the first thoughts you have when you wake in the morning to be of me . l want the last thoughts you have at night before you fall asleep to be of me. And l want every single moment in between to be filled with your want of me,your need of me and your desire of me. l want my absence to fill you with pain and anguish and my presence to fill you with joy and pleasure this dominus is what l want"bastion said the tears starting to roll down his cheeks. "but dominus l also know that this is the very thing l cannot have, you will never be mine so completely. You have responsibilities and duties to your position and family that come before me and you need to present a certain face to the world l understand that . l also understand that the most l can hope for is a smile a stolen glance or a hurried touch in private and with this l am content, but you asked me what l wanted and l have told you." and with that bastion turned from the baron his shoulders shaking as he tried to stifle the sobs coming from him.

[robertita]

Baron knew Bastion's feelings for him for a long time, but never expected this: Bastion's confession. Seeing his loyal servant crying like a child, the Baron felt bad. Bastion was his servant and yet his only company from his parents' death. “Bastion” the Baron said before he embraced him from behind “Bastion, you open your heart to me, now it's my turn. You are right: I’m your Master and you are one of my servants. We can’t be together. It is impossible for us to be together. But not just because society or my family, but also because I can’t love someone. And you know very well why. Even so do you want to try to conquer my heart? Do you think you will manage to make me love again?” Bastion turned his gaze to Baron and nodded. The Baron raised his hands to wipe Bastion’s tears “Let's go back to the castle Bastion” They dressed in silence before started the long road through the forest. All the way Baron didn’t address a word to Bastion. Once inside the castle Baron said ” Tonight I will eat in my room Bastion”. Bastion bowed and went in the kitchen to order the dinner. The Baron went to his room where he collapsed in bed. “Maybe it's time to forget the past” he thought before falling asleep.
