Ten years later

Kiara starred blankly out at the landscape. Tucking a piece of silvery hair behind her ear she looked down at the gardens below the balcony she stood on. watching her mother weed and chat with Tawln he sat there quietly listening to the sound of her melodies voice. Her mother had that affect on people she mad angry people calm and unreasonable men listen to reason. Kiara sighed the only person she can't seem to make listen to her is father she thought. But soon that will all be over and she would be gone never to come back she glanced once more down at her mother and the turned leaving the windy balcony. That night was her one-hundredth birthday and after the party she didn't plan on sticking around.

Kiara's maids bustled around her, preparing her dress and doing up her hair applying paints to her face all the while she just sat there with a bored expression on her face. Waiting for it all to end. She turned to look at her reflection in the mirror sitting on her vanity, her silver hair was done up in a complicated twist her golden eyes were lined with silver and her eyelids had a fine sheen of silver black paint her claws which had been painted gold flexed dusting an invisible piece of lint form her dress which was midnight black and was spangled with silver threads and diamonds that glittered when she moved she wore a silver moon pendent that her mother had given her when she was born she looked like a goddess of the moon just as her name entailed she was truly the daughter of the moon. Taking one last glance at her self in the mirror she exited her chambers.

Walking towards the throne room she thought over the conversation she had earlier with Caritan "your father is using your birthday as an excuse to get you married off so that he doesn't half to deal with you any more." "Its to be expected he has never wanted me around and this gives him the means to get rid of me." "I heard from some of the servants that he has already chosen a mate for you and though your selected mate couldn't come to the party to night he has sent one of his advisers with an engagement gift. his name is Vilcose and he is the king of the where people." Kiara did not reply but looked thought full as she turned away from her best friend.

She arrived at the throne room and entered by a side door to the dais. A roar went up around the room, as she was introduced Kiara daughter of lord Sesshomaru and lady Risamea. Kiara stood tall and proud inclining her head.

A stranger stood in the crowd looking up at the beautiful Inu elf child he had consulted with his sears and her destiny was a great if she could live long a nofe to for fill it. At least her father had not lied about one thing she was enchanting but he had no time to woo her. He was pressed for time and unfortunately had to abuse his power with her father to set things up maybe later he could actually help her. but that would half to wait till after the danger had passed. Unfortunately for the stranger he had severely under estimated Kiara and her temper. He would not find her as supportive as he thought she would be.

Kiara was bored the party had gone on for hours and yet she was not allowed to dance or mingle with the guests. she was just about to cause a seen when trumpets where blown and the adviser of king Vilcose of the where people was introduce. Kiara huffed she hardly had the patience to deal with another stuffy sniveling kiss up who was only to happy to take advantage of his position and the fact that his king could not make it to the party. but as the crowd parted to let the man through she got a surprise. the man who stood there was not at all what she expected is stead of the fat balding man in dowdy clothing she had pictured she saw a god. he had black hair that reached his shoulders, dark eyes almost black framed by long eyelashes his face was angular almost wolf like which she figured was exactly what his where beast was he had wide shoulders and well toned muscles he was built to fight and kill. he wore dark leather breaches and a silver shirt and had a single golden chain around his neck and his ears had triple pierces in each. his eyes glittered at her with mischief and knowing. He knelt at the foot of the dais and presented a polished wood box to her when Kiara's father signaled that he could come forward he gracefully ascended the stairs of the dais and opened the box for Kiara to see inside. there on a cushion of red velvet sat a dagger she picked it up to inspect as the adviser spoke to her "my king wishes that could be hear at your birthday princess and regrets his absence greatly. He asked me to present you with this gift of assurance of his affections." Kiara gave him an odd look but then went back to inspecting the dagger its blade was obsidian and razor sharp its handle was wrought of silver and black leather and the sheathe was the same it was a beautiful piece of exquisite craftsmanship. She had to smile at the present had her father told the young king that she was not a normal women. that she did not enjoy normal gifts given to women. But when she glanced at her father to see. She saw his disapproving eyes on the dagger and knew that the where king was simply very intuitive. She nodded to the adviser and thanked him for the splendid gift "thank your king for me its is a wonderful." Just then something happened. afterword no one could really say what had taken place but some how she ended up in the advisers grasp his hands on her hips steadying her his mouth by her ear. As he released her Kiara heard him say so only she could hear "I knew you would like it." Stepping back she looked in his eyes and saw them glinting with pleasure "we will talk later." He whispered as backed away and bowed to her and then her father and mother. Little did he know that there would not be a later.
