-This events are ~6+ months later after the Earthrealm invasion.
Since the fall of Shao Kahn, I had moved from Earthrealm to Edenia with the friends I had made during my life. The friends I have moved with were Kitana, Jade, Mileena, Smoke, Sub-Zero, Scorpion and Noob Saibot. Mileena was a rather weird person at first, but I eventually warmed up to her. Like me, she was artificially created by sorcery, courtesy of Shang Tsung at Shao Kahn's request. The essence of Kitana and Baraka fused into one being was what created Mileena. Though Tarkatan essence was used to create her, she did not have her teeth. I suspect that she may have gotten rid of them through some kind of spell, one which I do not know of, nor do I care for it. It does not concern me in any way, so I do not pay it any mind. All I know is that she will not – cannot – bite me or my allies. And for that, I am glad. She won't be taking out her hunger on us any time soon.
It took quite a bit of persistent nagging of Kitana to allow so many people to stay in the Edenian Palace. Sindel eventually gave in to the Princess' pleads, having grown fed up with her daughter. But we had to sleep in the same bed as the person we would be sharing a room with. But none of us had problems with that. All of us were in relationships with each other anyway, so what problems would it bring about? It wasn't like we weren't in relationships and had dalliances with strings attached.
The weather in Edenia is beautiful. I absolutely love going for long walks outside the Palace. There is no hidden nasties in Edenia, so to speak. Everywhere you go, there is either plants or flowers, sometimes both if you're lucky. But I do not mind, for it is my new home. I would have left it long ago if I didn't like it. Not only is the scenery here beautiful, but so are the people. I don't think I have eve met people that are more beautiful than the Edenians. But of course, I have Noob Saibot. And he beats all of those Edenians combined. He's so beautiful, my Bi-Han…
I have also had to face unfortunate circumstances in my new life in Edenia. I have bumped into Tanya and Rain several times here. It disappoints me to see them here, but who am I to tell them to leave? Unfortunately, I am not the Queen, so I can't do whatever I want and make Rain and Tanya 'the sorry people.'
Despite how much animosity I have for Rain, I am still respectful to him, even though I should be mounting him on my blood pillars and gutting him, then using his blood as my source of nutrition. Now that I think of it, I haven't had blood in a long time now. Scorpion, that bastard, killed Quan Chi. I was supposed to be the one to kill him, and then bathe in his blood. But no. The stupid demon put himself first. And for that I will always hate Scorpion, even though we are on good terms now.
Never have I seen my friends so happy in a long time. I forgot what it was like to see my best friends, Kitana and Jade, smile. I am glad that they feel happy after the fall of Shao Kahn. I am grateful that I decided to defect when I did. Or else, I couldn't be certain that I would be starting a better life in Edenia. Nor would I probably be in a relationship with Noob. We probably would have broken up, as we would have wanted different things. He'd wanted to be with his brother, but I wanted to be with Shao Kahn in Outworld. If I hadn't defected when I did, I wouldn't have met all of the people I am more than happy to call friends.
Soon, it will be Kitana's coronation. She will soon be the Queen of Edenia, with Smoke as her King. They had been dating two months before they decided to get engaged. I felt a little ashamed at that, because Bi-Han and I had been dating longer than Smoke and Kitana have, and we are not even engaged. Nor have we discussed any plans of getting engaged.
But in time, I know that he will propose to me. I can sense that he is jealous of Smoke and Kitana. I hope that this will indeed be some kind of turning point for him, as he will then decide to propose to me. That would be good. Sub-Zero and Jade are already discussing engagement, as are Scorpion and Mileena. That leaves Bi-Han and I as the only ones stuck in 'square one.'
I hate that. I really do. But I do not want to rush things and force him to engage me. I want him to be the one to mention something to me first. It seems fit that way. At least, I think so anyway. From what Kitana and Jade have told me, it is the male that proposes to the female. Hardly ever is it the other way around. It is said in Edenian Folklore and Mythology, that if a male proposes to the female, their marriage will last an eternity. But if it is the other way around, it will only last no longer than a year.
Hearing this makes me glad that I am not going to be the one proposing to Noob. He is my world. The only man I've ever loved. It would be heartbreaking. The very thought of losing him would be the worse thing I ever think of. And I am trying to be positive, so it's kind of conflicting with the thoughts I am having now…
I then decide to go to sleep, for Kitana's coronation is tomorrow, and I cannot afford to lose any more sleep. I haven't gotten a lot of sleep during the Earthrealm invasion. In fact, I'm certain that the only sleep I got was in the Temple of Argus. And believe me, that was not comfortable. There was no beds or pillows; we had to sleep on the floor. Such a thing is Greek to me, for I have never sleep on the floor before. I'm not sure why I used the phrase 'Greek to me' as I have never even heard Greek.
I bid my goodnight to everyone in the Throneroom and then head up to my chamber, which is located upstairs. I walk up several flights of stairs before I am in my bedroom. My room is painted blue and has a chest of draws that is on the left hand side of my bed. It is a brown colour that Bi-Han and I use to put our clothes in, amongst other stuff. We also have a wardrobe that is directly across the chest of draws, which we use to store our clothing. The wardrobe is massive and is able to fit both of our clothes. Since my time in Edenia and from my shopping trip in Outworld, I have a lot of new clothes aside from my red assassin outfit. Noob Saibot also wears different stuff, as do the rest of my friend.
I take off my clothes and put on my pyjamas, which consists of black pyjama pants and a white long-sleeve shirt. I suppose that the reason I feel so tired is because I haven't had blood in a while. I know that Kitana has had the servants retrieve blood for me and store it in my bedroom, so I frantically search my bedroom in search of the blood.
After what seemed like forever, I finally found my blood supply. Grabbing the blood packets, I head to the bathroom that is near my chamber. I lock the door and pour the blood into the bath. With only three packets used, the bath is full of the crimson fluid. I hastily jump in and am immediately energized by the feeling. The blood makes me feel stronger and much more energetic.
I spend some more time in the bath before I decide to get out. I put my clothes back on and head back to my chamber. Kitana's coronation is tomorrow, and I cannot wait for the party. She says that it's going to be amazing. I have never been to a party before, so I am a little unsure about what is to happen.
As soon as my head hits the pillow, I drift off to sleep.
Sub-Zero's Bed Chamber
Sub-Zero had taken his elder brother into his bedroom to talk. Bi-Han had informed Kuai Liang that he needed help regarding his relationship with Skarlet.
"You, Scorpion, and Smoke are engaged, or discussing engagement with your partners. I cannot muster the courage to ask Skarlet if she wants to get engaged. How did you do so with Jade?"
Kuai Liang let out a hearty chuckle, one that earned him a slap on the arm from Bi-Han. The elder brother was being serious about this, and wasn't in the mood to be laughed at. "Skarlet and I have been in a relationship longer than you have been with Jade. How is it that you are already engaged?!"
"I had Kitana help me in choosing a ring for Jade. I got her alone one night and proposed to her. She said yes. That is all you have to do, brother. It's not that hard."
If Bi-Han had known that proposing to Skarlet was so simple, he would have done so long ago. "Very well. Thank you, brother. I will seek out Kitana after the coronation tomorrow night, and have her help me with Skarlet's wedding ring." Noob Saibot then teleported to his own chamber and went straight to bed.
-Did I do good, writing in first person? I normally don't write in that POV as I said in the last chapter, so I hope that I did okay at least.
Hope you enjoyed!
