Spirit of the Saber - a Three Musketeers RP (private)

[AJbestpony]

Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known better as the Count D'Artagnan, had been the son of a poor farmer when he traveled to Paris to become a musketeer. He succeeded in becoming the youngest man to ever protect the royal family in this fashion. Now, more than twenty years later, he and his lovely wife Constance stood witness to another momentous occasion.

Here, they were excited for something that truly thrilled them.

Today, the newly coronated Louis XIII would be inducted the newest recruits to the musketeers, four of whom were the first women to join the company ranks. The leader of the quartet was none other than D'Artagnan and Constance's daughter, Corinne.

(BTW, interesting that Tim Curry played the villainous role in both the 1993 Disney film and this same one. Typecasting to be sure, but he always livens up something, even it's not that good)

She was absolutely overjoyed to be in the same ranks as her father had been in before her.

(Ferngully is certainly evidence of that, plus he was the Rat King in the Barbie rendition of the Nutcracker)

On top of that, she had caught the eye of the young and ambitious king. But he would let her have this day to celebrate with her parents.

(Indeed)

"I can't believe that my dream is coming true," Corinne said.

"You're earned it, darling," Constance insisted, embracing her daughter. "And you look resplendent in the hat and the uniform, in any case."

"Thank you for that, Mama," she replied.

Constance just smiled, and D'Artagnan went to offer his congratulations to his daughter's friends, Aramina, Renee, and Viveca, daughters of his own old friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramais. "You three are a credit to your sires, my ladies."

"Thank you so much," Aramina said.
