The Secret Of The Vizjerei
Dance Of Swords
"Journey?" Slanzar repeated "Well, it's not exactly a journey" Shahira said entering the castle with Slanzar "Then what is it?" Slanzar asked "It's more of a quest...I must find the Lord's Ring" Shahira said with a serious tone in her voice. "The Lord's Ring? How are you going to find a tiny ring in all of Gaea?! That's practically impossible, and besides what do you want with a ring?" Slanzar asked as they walked through the castle halls.
"You don't understand, if he gets the ring before I do...Gaea will be destroyed" Shahira said "He?" Slanzar repeated, Shahira looked away from Slanzar "What is it? Who is he?" Slanzar asked again, Shahira stopped walking and started to look at a painting "He killed my people because he knew we could easily destroy him since we had the Lord's Ring" Shahira said still looking at the painting "Go on" Slanzar said quietly "It's a long story I'm sure you have business to take care of" Shahira said looking at a princess walking towards them 'God damnit!' Slanzar yelled in his mind "Good afternoon Lord Slanzar" the blond haired princess said "Good afternoon to you too...I'm sorry but I do not know your name" Slanzar said trying not to sound annoyed "My name is Princess Cassandra" the princess said blushing a bit "So...who is that?" Cassandra said giving Shahira a dirty look then smiling at Slanzar "I'm your worst nightmare blondie" Shahira said stepping up to her "Is that a threat?" Cassandra said "Maybe" Shahira said smiling "I can have you arrested you know" Cassandra said a little intimidated by Shahira "Well, I might not know a lot about politics and the law but you can't arrest me unless your in your country" Shahira said smiling and walking away from the two "Bye! Shahira wait!" Slanzar said quickly running after Shahira.
"Tell me more about that evil guy and about the Lord's Ring" Slanzar said walking beside her "It's a long story" Shahira said looking at the castle walls "So" Slanzar said "Fine...I was rasied in the female mage clan called the Vizjerei, we were also known as the Assassins there weren't very many of us since are race was only a rumor, we train ourselves in martial arts and focus on the powers of the mind we use a lot of exotic weapons such as sets of metal blades and claws that we strap on to our wrists. We have expertly incorporated the use of these wepaons into our martial arts training. That explains my skill in fighting" Shahira said before taking another breath and starting to talk again "Our leader; Ratisha wore the Lord's Ring since she was more powerful than us and of course was our leader, but one day when I was only of the age of 15, our clan was attacked during the night by a man named Baal also known as the Lord of Destruction, he brought his demon army to kill us all and to capture the Lord's Ring, Ratisha couldn't stand the thought of anyone else having the ring so with all of her power she locked up the ring somewhere on Gaea in a temple, that's all I know of the where abouts of the ring. I, fortunatly escaped since I was the youngest of all of them and was still in training...I turned my back on my people and I ran away from the battle..." Shahira said quietly, Slanzar was quiet "I will help you with your quest" Slanzar blurted out, Shahira looked at Slanzar surprised by what he said "You will help me find the Lord's Ring?" Shahira said smiling a bit "Of course, but you have to protect me at the ball, I don't want to dance with any of the princesses at the ball" Slanzar said whispering the last part and smiling "It's a deal" Shahira said holding her hand out for him to shake, which Slanzar did.
~*~*~
The ball had begun and Slanzar didn't like the fact that he didn't see Shahira yet 'Maybe she tricked me or soemthing' Slanzar thought as he walked around looking for any sign of Shahira, he passed by some giggling and blushing princesses 'Did one of them just touch my ass?' Slanzar thought as he practically ran over to a corner where the food was 'Where the hell could she be?' Slanzar thought still looking around.
Shahira entered the ballroom looking for Slanzar which she could not see at the moment, she spotted a couple princesses running over to a man with unruly black hair 'There he is' Shahira said mentally and walking over to her *sniff sniff* "I smell...skanks. Move out of my way before I kill one of you" Shahira said standing there with one hand on her hip. All the women gave her dirty looks before leaving "Oh ya? Why don't you get on your knees and kiss my ass!" Shahira yelled and turned to the table full of food "You saved my life again" Slanzar said laughing "Well, I am getting paid for it" Shahira said looking around the room and eating some more fruit from the table, Slanzar looked at Shahira she was still wearing that cloak and it was covering her face "Why do you always wear that cloak?" Slanzar asked eating some fruit as well "I like to be covered up you gotta problem with that?" Shahira said not even glancing at him "No...not really but It would be easier to talk to you with that hood off" Slanzar said still looking at her "You know if you were a complete stranger, you would of been dead now after that comment, but since your helping me with my quest, whatever" Shahira said pulling her hood off. Slanzar smiled "Thank you" he said still smiling "We meet again Lord Slanzar" Princess Cassandra said walking up to Slanzar and Shahira "Princess Cassandra...hello" Slanzar said and yelling at himself mentally for not trying to avoid her "Would you like to dance?" Cassandra asked blushing a bit "I...uh..." that's pretty much all Slanzar could get out "He's a bad dancer" Shahira said still eating "And how would you know?" Cassandra said putting her hands on her hips, Shahira laughed "Well, you see, I tryed to teach him how to dance but he sucks, he's a complete shipwreck" Shahira said smiling knowing that she insulted Slanzar 'What the fuck?!' Slanzar shouted in his mind "Well, you can't dance better than me" Cassandra said winking at Slanzar, Slanzar cringed when she did that "You wanna bet?" Shahira said stepping up to Cassandra "Yes, I do" Cassandra said walking over to the orchestra and asking them politely to play a song from her country.
Cassandra walked to the middle of the floor and the music began to play "This is a dance from my country, it is called The Dance Of Love" Cassandra said winking at Slanzar.
Slanzar thought he was gonna belch after that, he looked at Shahira who just rolled her eyes and watched the princess dance. After the dance a mostly the whole room was clapping at the smiling Cassandra who started to walk over to Slanzar "Let's see you dance" Cassandra said smiling evily "Your on! Hold this" Shahira said throwing her cloak to Slanzar 'What on Gaea is she wearing?' Cassandra thought as she watched Shahira walk over to the orchestra.
It took awhile for the orchestra to play since they didn't know the song Shahira wanted but then they finally got it and Shahira walked to the dance floor.
"This is a song from my people; it is called Dance Of Swords" Shahira said getting ready for the music.
"What kind of song is that?" Cassandra said giving Shahira another dirty look "A very interesting one" Slanzar said moving closer to see Shahira dance. This time everybody was watching Shahira dance, she was a very good dancer and this is something new Slanzar found out about Shahira. It was pretty obvious why it was called Dance Of Swords since Shahira was doing dance moves with her sword.
After the dance everyone was clapping and cheering and saying that she was very talented 'Whoa...' Slanzar thought as she walked over to him and grabbed her cloak from Slanzar and put it on "How did you learn to dance like that?" Slanzar said very interested "Ratisha taught me, all of my people knew how to do that dance" Shahira said walking back to the table of food, with Slanzar following. "So, when is this stupid thing over anyways?" Shahira said eating again "Why? Are you tired?" Slanzar asked "A little bit, but it doesn't matter" Shahira said "Would you like me to show you to a guest room?" Slanzar said "Your letting me stay in the castle?" Shahira said turning to him "Of course, unless you want to go home..." Slanzar said looking down "I don't have a home..." Shahira said quietly looking at her feet "You don't? Well why don't you stay here then" Slanzar said with a little bit more hope in his voice. Shahira thought about it for a moment "Ok" was all she said "Great! I mean...alright, I'll uh...show you to your room" Slanzar said leaving his party with Shahira.
They walked down the halls in silent until Slanzar stopped "Here, you can stay here" Slanzar said opening the door, Shahira walked in "Wow..." Shahira said looking around "Goodnight" Slanzar said walking out, Shahira followed him and noticed that he went into the room right next to her 'Could that be his room?' Shahira thought closing the door. Shahira explored the room more before going to sleep, but she noticed a door and realized she never went to see where it led to, so she opened the door and noticed it was bathroom, 'Wow...I got a nice bathroom.What the fuck?' Shahira thought as she went to the other side since there was another door. She opened the door and realized it led to another room. "You hate being seperated from me don't you?" Slanzar said laughing, Shahira tripped over her own foot and fell flat on her face "What?!" she screamed as she stood up, Slanzar kept laughing "Nothing..." he said smiling, this is when Shahira realized he was shirtless, all he was wearing was baggy white pants, Shahira blushed a little since she was never close to a man who wasn't wearing shirt, nevermind no shirt she's never been close to a man at all, she's been around only female "What is it?" Slanzar asked as he sat on the bed "Th...there's only...uh...one bathroom" Shahira said as she tore her eyes away from his magnificant body "Ya" Slanzar said sounding like it didn't mattered, which it didn't to him "What are you some kind of pervert?" Shahira said kicking him off the bed "No, no ow!" Slanzar said as she kicked him again "I just thought since you were my body guard, you could uh...well...if I was in trouble it would be easier for you to get to me" he lied, the body guard part was true but he just wanted her to be close to him, he really did like her but he tried to convince himself not to. "Whatever...I get the bathroom first tomorrow though" Shahira said leaving the room and slamming the door behind her.
Slanzar laid on the bed smiling 'Oh ya...she likes me. Wait! What the hell are you thinking, she's too good for you Slanzar, she could never love a cursed demon...' Slanzar thought sadly as he rolled over and fell right asleep.
