Syanne
Kimsan nearly jumped out of her skin and if I hadn't been so startled myself I would have been in fits with the expression on her face. We both whirled round to stare at Turel. He looked down at the both of us, giving a very deep cough and placing a cupped talon in front of his mouth. At least he had manners, when Dumah coughed he usually left his mouth gaping open, no matter what company was in the room. 'I hope I didn't startle you ladies.' He said in an amused tone. Kimsans face fell, she had never met him before, I had told her about how he looks and how tall he was but she always said 'oh syanne you do exaggerate'.
' No, no you didn't' I said off handily I didn't want to stir a conversation between the both of us, if Dumah would have seen us speaking all hell would break loose, and in his eyes it would have confirmed his suspicions. Turning away I glanced at the ground my bare feet became my interest as I began to pray he would just go back to his own clan. 'Why are you here?' I heard Kimsan's voice. 'Excuse me' His voice lowered. Now being by Dumah's side since the empire began I knew the trait that all the masters had, when someone spoke defiantly or displeased them their tone would suddenly change to a low pitch, then if they were really angry they would tilt their head slightly as if daring you to speak again. 'You hear…' Kimsan began to speak again; I nudged her side and turned round to face him again. 'I apologize; it has been a long time since she returned she had forgotten her place.' He gave a sigh and nodded.
I could see by the look on his face he had enough of bickering. Turning round completely I stood up and bowed to Turel. 'Kimsan let's be on our way', half way through speaking he interrupted me by placing a talon underneath my chin, 'what happened to your mouth?', I flinched automatically and stepped back quickly, the both of us got startled and as soon as I had moved kimsan jumped in front of me, 'what the hell do you think you are doing?', Kimsan shouted. As soon as I heard her voice I knew I had to shut her up quickly or she would be a dead woman. 'You dare!' Turel growled. Now it was my turn to jump in between them I seemed to be doing that a lot today. 'Kimsan please go back to my room and get me a fresh night dress prepared. I would be grateful.' She said nothing and turned on her heels marching towards the main doors.
I sighed slightly and placed a hand on my head. 'What a day…' he chuckled slightly. 'The drama makes me wonder sometimes…and if your little friend speaks out of line again I will punish her. Friend of yours or no friend'. His change startled me a little I nodded slightly 'I understand, I'll speak with her it's been a long time since she was back in the territories, she just adjusting that is all.' He scoffed' and so you keep saying, make sure it doesn't happen again.' An uncomfortable silence fell between us I was just about to make up an excuse to leave when I heard him speak again. 'You never told me what happened to your lip, its make your night dress some mess. Shame, blood wasted.' His eyes trailed down me looking at the trails on blood he stepped forward making himself seem even taller, I felt so small and I couldn't be bothered going into deep explanations. 'Oh my lip well I fell and must have bit my lip, it's just because I am tired it's been an eventful…' again his talon went underneath my chin this time bringing my face up to look in his eyes. 'Do not lie to me I know fine well what happened.' I looked down and sighed 'sorry it's just uncomfortable speaking about it, I…I must go, goodbye.'
As quickly as I could have said it I began to walk back to my chambers in a fast pace. The halls which had been teaming with people earlier had now cleared completely. An eerie silence hung amongst the marble walls. 'Hello?' I called out. Making my way back I found Kimsan sitting on my bed with a new night dress as I had asked. For some reason however she seemed very withdrawn. 'Kimsan where is everyone?' she looked up at me and slowly shook her head.
'Dumah and the clan are preparing for battle.' 'What!? Kimsan we can not be! We have just settled a dispute! Is it with another clan…the turelim!? Oh god's.' I sat down and placed a hand on my chest it felt like I had the biggest lump in my throat and my stomach began to churn. 'They said it was the interference of the human rebels. They have secretly plotted an invasion into the territory Lord Kain had ordered that Dumah and his army settle it alone. He said that he didn't want to drag other clans into a petty dispute and an easily won battle, I'm sure Dumah will be fine.' Kimsan looked out of the window. 'I have volunteered to fight against the humans.' Kimsan stated and stood up making her way to the door. I placed my head in my hands. 'Kimsan no! you have only just arrived I couldn't bare the thought of loosing you again, and what if Dumah is injured what if he's killed what will happen to our clan then!' I cried. Kimsan came over and placed a hand on my shoulder. 'We fight so that you may be able to walk these lands without the threat of being hunted down by mere human's syanne.'
After she spoke I heard another voice. 'Excuse me my lady but Dumah has requested to see you.' It was a young woman about sixteen she looked worse for wear, her small under fed frame, the black marks underneath her eyes and the sores round her mouth, bits of straggly hair escaped from her head wear and her apron was covered in what seemed to be dried blood, her stench repulsed me, how I hated slaves.' I simply nodded and ordered her to return to her duties. Before I could say another word Kimsan was gone. I wished it wouldn't be the last time I saw her. Changing my nightwear I tidied my mouth to remove and sign of injury and began making my ways towards his study, where he always was. It was quiet a walk and I began to wonder about important matters and the stupidest things ever like, if a vampire wore a night dress during the day for rest does it become day wear? Or the last time I had actually fed, was drevmar going to be in the battle. Turel, the beating. Finally I arrived at the door and knocked loudly.
'Dumah it is syanne, you wished me here?', 'Come in' he simply called. The door creaked slightly as I entered. The room was only lit by a few scarce candles, he was laying on a cushioned chair in front of an unlit fireplace with a vale of what I presumed to be blood in his grasp, he looked over at me and sighed. 'Syanne sit here.' He pointed to a chair in front of him and began to sit upright. 'I must speak with you.' I gave small nod and sat opposite of him. He took a small sip and breathed in loudly, 'We are going to battle against the humans, the rebellion is threatening this very territory and I can't afford to loose anymore to those pathetic fools' whippings his mouth with the back of his hand he continued to speak. 'So I have left Ravard my second in command in charge of the clan until I return he would do best to fight along side me but I need someone I trust to look over us.'
He glanced over towards the unlit fireplace I could see the concern in his eyes, oh god's did he see turel and I speaking in the gardens? If he was furious before then…. 'I also have another to help watch over the clan, only to check statistics, ports and out of, clan activity and so on,' Dumah's voice sounded very calm and awfully dreams like. 'Zephon spoke with me and offered his serves, he will be looking over you for me and looking out for certain other lieutenant's.' I knew fine well he was talking about Turel. I couldn't believe he thought that of me, I would never betray him, how did he come about to think such things, and Zephon look over our clan! One of the most proud and strongest! Dumah you fool he is not even my brother and I know that. I wanted to tell him that Zephon would try and slander or corrupt our clan, he had always been jealous but I would end up even more in pain if I protested again Dumahs decisions so I kept my mouth shut.
I would do everything in power to keep that snake from destroying our order. 'He arrives tomorrow. He also has a lot of information for me so I won't see you until I leave.' Now it was my turn to be the furious one. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I stood up and made my way to the door. ' Dumah don't trust Zephon, he is full of deceit and lies, I do not mean to speak ill of one of kains sons but what I say is true please listen, Ravard and I will look after here until you return I..' 'Enough woman! I did not ask your suggestions! Do not disobey me!' He slammed the blood vale onto the floor and stood up quickly. 'I had, had enough for the night, bowed my head and opened the door walking out quickly.
All I could do was wait for the arrival of Zephon.
