Break My Heart
Chapter 11
~~~~~~~~~
Cesia opened her eyes to see the man who held her hand, Nadil.
"I am sorry for not showing you this earlier, but the maids are hoping that you find this room suitable for the ball."
Cesia looked around, it seemed pretty decent. The Gothic style of Arinas gave a dark impression if it wasn't for that foreign Dusis design, yep, lots of dragons. The room was mostly black, or at least dark.
"Does this suit your taste?" Nadil asked.
"Yeah, it's fine." Cesia said absent-mindedly, she liked the Gothic style anyways.
A demon-messenger, in a uniform of black with silvery stripes randomly streaked down, came running up to Nadil.
"Excuse me, you're Lord Nadil, right?" the demon asked hazily, as if the miles of running didn't affect him.
"Yes...are you from Half Moon?" Nadil asked.
Half Moon was a large port-city South of the capitol, that is where Rath came from when he was arriving to the palace.
"Lord Yelned needs you, and some troops to defend our port. Some demon is attacking from the seas. Lord Yelned says that this demon probably lives in an area in the seas, with other water demons. They could take the fort, if they send more reinforcements--"
"I'll go." Nadil cut in, "Cesia, stay in the castle while I'm gone. I'll be sending the maids to keep an eye on you, OK?"
"Fine." Cesia said irritably.
Nadil left, along with the messenger, and immediate troops sent out to Half Moon.
Cesia, having nothing to do, just sat on all stool against the wall. The maids kept working on perfecting the ballroom. Music played in the background.
"Would you care for a dance?", a mysterious voice beside her asked.
Cesia took his hand, and noticed that the room suddenly was filled with people. She looked up as wrapped her arms his neck, and realized she was dancing with Rath. Rath looked peaceful, just holding her in his arms.
"Would you chose me?" Rath asked.
"What?" Cesia responded in confusion, as she looked in her hands, they were red. Blood flowed freely from her hands.
"What's going on?" Cesia asked, and looked up at Rath, who wasn't there.
For some reason, Cesia started crying. She wiped her tears, and cried a river of blood.
