ATHMAE
Athmae opened her eyes and growled at the rapping on her chamber door. Everything in her room was still dark. She couldn't tell where her clothes were at on the floor, so she grabbed the quilt off her bed and wrapped it around her naked body.
"I'm coming! Geez." She said walking to the door. She grabbed the handle and flung the door open. "What?" Palamon was standing in the doorway with a big smile on his face.
"How'd you sleep?" He asked.
"Fine. Now what do you want?" She retorted.
"Hmmm...What do I want?" Palamon said softly playing with a piece of Athmae's hair. "I've got something to show you. Follow me."
"Don't I have time to put clothes on?"
"No." Palamon said flatly pulling on Athmae's arm. She growled, pulled her bedroom door shut behind her, and followed after Palamon.
The Cauldron floor was cold on Athmae's bare feet. Even though it was still dark Athmae could tell it was early morning. Palamon stopped in front of what looked like a staircase. Athmae looked at him questionably.
"You wanted to show me a staircase? I've seen plenty." She said dully.
"No, that's not what I was going to show you." Palamon replied taking a torch off the wall, and walked down the staircase. Athmae pulled her quilt closer to her and followed after him.
The staircase was long and winding. Palamon stopped at the bottom of the staircase then stepped to the side, and held out his torch to Athmae. "This is what I wanted to show you," he said. Athmae took the torch from him and walked around. It was a vast room, with a few chains dangling from the ceiling. She squatted down and looked at the floor. It was white tile. She stood back up and looked up at the ceiling, then walked over to the other edge of the room. Athmae stopped abruptly and looked down. She was stand on the edge of a cliff.
"So what do you think?" Palamon asked.
"It's a nice place." Athmae replied.
"I know your thinking what I'm thinking because I can read your mind." He smirked at her.
Athmae hit Palamon in the arm and said, "Would you stay out of my head!"
"Ok, ok!"
"So, what was I thinking."
"Turning this place into a training room."
Athmae glared at him then said, "I really don't like you sometimes."
"Ohhh you'll get over it." Palamon replied. "So I was thinking we could make or find some weapons, make some shelves, and a few more obstacles, and this place wouldn't be a bad spot for training."
Athmae nodded in agreement then said, "Sounds good. But we started working on it later."
"How much later?"
"Ohhh after I eat something, and get dressed later."
"Why? You don't want to work in just a quilt." Palamon smirked again trying to keep from laughing. Athmae glared at him then turned on her heel back to the staircase and walked back up to the Cauldron.
Athmae swiftly crossed the room to her chamber door and stopped with her hand on the doorknob. "Following Palamon, down to a dark room, with nothing on but a quilt. Supicous." Athmae turned around and saw Achmed sitting sideways on his throne.
"Right. Like I would ever do anything with that arse rag." Athmae replied opening her chamber door and entering it. After she had shut the door Achmed smiled to himself.
Athmae leaned on her door then sighed deeply. She crossed over to the other side of the room while throwing the quilt back on to her bed. She slipped on her black leather pants and black leather vest, while looking for her boots. When she found them she slipped them on, grabbed her hair tie, and strapped her vest together. Then opened the door once more and walked out.
Athmae was leaning over a map while quietly talking to Grunthor about army tactics. Jo was talking to Rhapsody when Palamon walked in from the training room, and walked over to Athmae. "Well everything is finished. Come have a look." He said. She walked to the cliff that looked down on the training room, and gazed down at it. Jo looked over curiously at them. "Jo come here for a moment." Athmae said. Jo walked over to Athmae and Athmae put her arm around Jo. "You see this room Jo?"
"Yes," Jo replied.
"It has over 100 pieces of weaponry. And just about everything a person needs for intense training." Jo smiled up at her and Athmae was smiling back. "And guess what?"
"What?" Jo replied excitedly.
"Your not allowed to use it." Athmae said still smiling. Jo's smile on the other hand, faded off her face quickly.
Athmae opened her eyes and growled at the rapping on her chamber door. Everything in her room was still dark. She couldn't tell where her clothes were at on the floor, so she grabbed the quilt off her bed and wrapped it around her naked body.
