Fireworks Pairing: Janther Rating: M One-shot sneak peek!

The wedding festival itself was not something Gunther cared to participate in. In the end, it was like any other party, though on a much grander scale. 

From the window in his tower room, he could see the fireworks and the bonfire in the main yard. Music wafted in the air with the smell of food, and the unintelligible chatter of party goers celebrating the close of the ceremonies roared. 

Gunther sat shirtless on the edge of his bed, idly watching colors burst in the sky as he thumbed through an old journal from Sir Theordore. 

It had been a few long months since they'd lost him, and time eased the sting, but Gunther still found himself looking for that worldly guidance.

Gunther certainly hadn't expected to be his replacement in the event of death or retirement- And to say the responsibility had fallen upon Gunther suddenly would be an understatement. 

The knock at his chamber door nearly startled him from his skin and he took a second to recuperate before calling out that his guest could come in. 

He closed the book in his hand as Jane closed the door and turned, leaning her back up against it. He drank in the sight of her standing there, wrapped tightly in a deep blue housecoat and white nightgown that trailed the floor. Her hair was as wild as it had ever been. 

Just looking at her made his heart hammer a little harder in his chest. How many times had this fantasy crossed his mind? Jane, coming to him in the night to declare her passion.

"Jane?"

The Color of Goodbye

Gunther had never considered that the castle would lose a lot of its color without Jane, but no one dared deny her the adventure that waited. The hunt for dragons and the needs for answers was as much a part of her as the kingdom. But who knew that Jane would give farewell a color, too?
