Here's another piece from the ongoing story The Battle of Svalbard. In this piece I hope to introduce Lucinda Cancaret, a female otter who lives in Paris.
Lucinda Cancaret sat in the quiet drawing room of Ney Hose in Paris, looking at the open book laid out infant of her attempting to think of the future. Her love then engagement were both brief and she wishes with all her heart to have them both back in hope of a loving married life.
The French otter in dark dress had just returned to her birth home last year after she realised that the aforementioned love and engagement had come to nothing in hope of a recovery from her loving family. Her engagement had promised a high status in the British society that so many in the world wants. Many such marriages are in reality arranged for money and status, not for love. Lucinda's was one of very few that was just for love.
They met just after her fiancé joined the unbeatable British Royal Navy and it was a "love at first sight", as the old saying goes, and so it was for just a few months, they were engaged. Then it went wrong.
The next voyage, three months later her fiancé was called by his naval officers to his duty. When he returned a week later, she didn't recognised him in not his looks, but his character. He began to drink heavily and shouted at anyone he could, including herself to her greatest horror. After March the following year, she just walked to him and placed her ring on his desk before departing back to Paris, her eyes have never looked back, her heart drowns in tears when it does, when Lucinda thinks of Theodore Nelson.
I hope that you've enjoyed this piece. I may have to rework this piece in my story, but I hope to work on the character in the future, whenever it will be in this story, or another story featuring Theodore Nelson. I hope to post another piece for you.
