stop throwing children at me

the market

Periwinkle ran ahead in a flowy dress and cloak the cloak being a black and the dress being a faded pink called fairy tale

Ash ,wearing a gothic barsmaiden dress with a crown on top their horns visible and their tail not so much, followed close behind

There were no guards following these two because the guards were busy with something else. As the two walked periwinkle saw something that caught her eye. She ran over to it, it was a stall for flutes and the thing that had caught her eye was a silver flute Periwinkle looked up at Ash and asked "Can we get the flute it is shiny and I know how to play flute enough to use it"

Ash looked at the shopkeep and said" we would like the silver flute you have on display here." The shopkeep looked at skeptically Ash then grabbed the flute and handed it to periwinkle as Ash payed

The two walked over to a couple more stalls getting more trinkets and bobbles for Periwinkle's room they finally got to the clothes and Periwinkle went and got a good amount of extra dresses all very light colors

Ash and Periwinkle walked back to the castle and as soon as they got back word ,by some henchmen running up to them and shouting, that some adventures had gotten in not unusual but there was only one that hadn't harmed anyone even with the sheer amount of weapons on the kid the other 4 were dealt with swiftly but the kid was placed in the dungeon and they refused to give up their backpack

Ash got all the items in Periwinkle's room then went down to the dungeon and when they got down their they were shocked to find 2 half orc children around 4.5 feet and 5 foot respectively
The taller one was a blueish green color with dark blue hair and the shorter one was more tan in color but with the same blue hair

The smaller one of the two looked over and noticed Ash and lifted their hand towards ash and some mist came out of the child's palm. Ash waved away the mist with a fan ,that was on the wall next to them, away from the children and towards an empty cell then walked over to the cell the older or at least taller one looked over at the 6 foot queen opening the cell

The smaller one wore a tattered dress with leg raps on their ankles the taller one wore a poncho over bare chest and pants with fur on the bottom, the taller one stood their ground

Ash observed the two half-orc children with a mix of curiosity and concern. "What's your name?" Ash asked gently, addressing the taller half-orc who had maintained their composure.

The taller half-orc answered clumsily" my name Ozzie, this Lizzie we siblings me older, she younger" "good" Ash responded while going to kneel down to be on the same level as the two orc children then they asked" what were you doing in my castle?"

Lizzie answered "we were told we were gonna have a new home if we came with those guys, they just wanted Ozzie but we are a pair so I snuck along... where are they anyway?" Ash muttered "probably off being resurrected" Lizzie asks" what does resurrected mean?"

Ash took a second before answering" well resurrected means coming back from the dead but they still are them not like zombies, you have to have a certain charm placed on you to have it happen" Lizzie nods Ozzie looked confused and asks" what would happen didn't have the charm placed on me?" Ash takes a second then replies "You would stay dead" Ash then stands up and reaches out their hand to the children and says" you can stay as long as you like" the two half-orc children take their hand and follows them to a set of rooms next to each other "we can go to the market to get your items you would need these rooms are pretty bare bones" ash says when they get there

The two children looked at Ash like they were crazy cause the room was better then the house they had lived in

Periwinkle who had spent time looking from the doorway after Ash had left. Periwinkle was going to go with some henchmen to get her stuff and the two half-orcs would be fine in the realm of Shadows due to being nonhuman at least not fully human so she walked over to the two children and quired" are you guys going to the market with Monarch?"

The three of them looked at eachother before Ozzie asked"who Monarch?Periwinkle chuckled, realizing the confusion. "Monarch is Ash's title as the ruler of this castle and the surrounding lands. They're the one who brought you here and offered you a place to stay. Would you like to come with me to the market? We can get you some things you might need."
