Title: The Adventures of Mylo: Part One
Rating: PG
Word Count: 343
Pairing: Alanna/Jonathan
Round/Fight: 1/A
Summary: A wrong is heard and an adventure begun
-
Mylo was not, for all respectable purposes, his father’s son. That’s what he’d been told, at least, not that it made any sense at all. Mother said Father was his father and Father said he was his father, which meant it had to be true. Mother might lie and Father might lie, but Father would never lie in front of Mother. Mother yelled.
Still, these ‘respectable purposes’ seemed to mean something to the fat lord who told him Father wasn’t his father, and it was Mylo’s duty to find out why they were wrong. He was going to be a knight, or maybe a rogue, or even a spy, but it didn’t really matter which one since, if he were one, he would still find out why the fat lord seemed so sure what was right was wrong.
Mylo stopped, carefully rethinking what he just thought, because it was all very confusing and similar, but he didn’t want to start thinking things backwards and get it all wrong all over again.
He knew Father was king and kings married queens, but Mother wasn’t married and wasn’t a queen, because she was a knight and knights didn’t do things like sit around and sew, and that’s why Father married Josiane, who lived in a tower where no one visited because she didn’t get along with other people and was very bad. Father said she was disturbed, but Mother said she was like the barn cat Mylo tried to keep that peed on the rugs and threw up on nice things and bit.
Mylo didn’t tell Mother, but sometimes he bit the miller’s boy who called him ‘stupid’ and pushed him in the mud. He was big and Mylo wasn’t and it was only fair that he was allowed to bite if the miller’s boy was allowed to push. Mylo was sure Mother would agree if she was the one being pushed, but since she wasn’t and mothers were strange, he decided it was best to keep the whole pushing and biting situation to himself.
