[font=times new roman]The label on the bottle had lied.
Malvrick Abherty came to this crushing realization the slow, painful way. As the remaining drops of the priceless rum fell to his swampy tongue, the young man peered up the throat of the empty bottle in awe. He gave the thing a good shake. Nothing. Maybe the rest was stuck inside somewhere. He shook it again and again. Swept his finger around the inside. Rapped on the bottom. Nothing. A pitiful, heartbreaking nothing.
“Golden Rhapsody- Sun-kissed Rum of Kings” The words wavered and spun, twisted and flipped mere inches from his face. The blonde-haired sot glowered long and hard at those little words before impatience finally won. “D*mn the king! …” he slurred in a flurry of excitement, sending the bottle clattering to the ground. By some miracle, the bottle didn’t shatter, and instead rolled partway out into the street. Away from the shallow alley, and the lonely man who resided there. “…king… d*mn the king…” he slurred, letting his heavy body sink back into the splintery heap of wooden crates, a bed only as comfortable as it’s user was drunk. “…th’king can kiss my little gold’n-“
A force grappled hold of Malvrick just then. A peculiar force. Not the violent sort, but more of the ticklish, twitchy kind. All of a sudden the blonde lunged forward across the pile of crates, sending bits and pieces of broken ones scattering about. His powerful hands clasped around something. An equally peculiar something that let out the faintest of blue glows through his clenched fingers. “I’ve had about enough of yer little pixie tricks” he growled in a moment of lucidity. The little glow kicked and flickered in his grasp, but Mal only clenched it harder. “I’ve half the mind to cook you up y’know. Somethin’ nice ‘n savory… like stew... I have stew cooks…” he warned, but the threat fell empty. His cooks…That only brought to mind the magnificence of castle they worked in this very moment. Then the king. And the Legion… Mal released his grasp on the small being, and in the same motion, let his poor broken body flop back onto the poor broken crates. “Oh, Milthor, d*mn the king…”
Tiny hands- tinier than even the Emistaren cent coin- forced their way through of the drunkard’s chunky fingers. The small sprite, beyond irked, began furiously straightening out its crumpled wings. “Oi! Watch who yer squashing!” he piped. Small glints of magic energy sprinkled from the fairy’s being as he shook himself from human contact. For any ordinary creature, this would have been the opportune time to make an escape from the massive pair of hands that threatened to broil you up and stick you in a stew. But fairies were no ordinary creature. Stubborn little rascals, fairies were among the most defiant of the magic folk. Also, they were notorious instigators.
“So why ya so worked up about the king, eh?” the small fay pried. A boozy grumble of a response was all he got. The young fairy padded up the man's back, caution, as always, the least of his worries. Spying the amber-colored coat of arms on the man's jacket, Mink began to piece the pitiful puzzle together. "Ohhh, yer one of the King's dogs! Bet you were one of-" the pixie pushed on, only to be swatted away by a monstrous palm. “Yikes! Alright, alright! Suit yourself.” Mink knew when he was beat. And with a quick flutter, the little sprite was soaring high above East Market, as the people of Emistador bustled the streets below.

UPDATED
some basic info: the immediate story takes place in the kingdom of emistador. the realm is divided up into multiple other kingdoms which have for the most part kept to themselves. however, this will soon be discovered to be untrue entirely. tensions between emistador and a neighboring kingdom (Tiranlik) have risen, and a war very well may be on the horizon. the people of emistador have been shielded from this truth for the sake of "keeping the peace". though rumors might spread, very few know the true scope of the matter. mostly those working close to the king or frequent travelers between kingdoms might have the slightest idea of such a storm brewing.
magic is very abundant in this particular realm, though it is difficult to progress much without a master. there are, of course, magical creatures throughout the world. some good, some evil, and some you can never quite tell. there exists a multitude of religions in the realm as well, and while religion hasn't caused any severe conflict, it is still an area of dispute. however most anyone you meet at least believes in the supreme god of the land, known commonly a milthor.
