The morning came quicker than anticipated, and the morning light coupled with the sounds of the busy city-plane, woke me from my slumber. The light shone through the elaborate window that provided an excellent vantage point of the beauty of Ravnica. Stirring from my bed, I sat up, hugging the silky blanket to my naked breasts. My long black hair flowed down my body and gracefully covered my back. I stood up, carrying the blanket with me to the window sill and looked through the panes at the life on the streets below, and the scenes from the day before were there. It seems this city is monotonous and life doesn't improve for many. But the city continues no slowing down, no holding back. Much like me; no slowing down, or holding back. Those words echoed in my mind and pulsated through my body.
200 years of loneliness flooded my mind and body, all those years of loneliness and keeping company with the dead, tends to be…monotonous. After the loss of my brother, at my own hands, the wilds of the multiverse became my home. I went from plane to plane, doing what I needed at the time to survive. Whether it was with my tongue or my body, I did what I needed. Entrancing lords and ensnaring foolish young travelers. Many fell by my hand, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy. The power, especially after the deal with the demons, and obtaining the Veil was wonderful, glorious even. After all the two centuries on this world, I've always walked alone, even among the dead. But there was one mage in particular who caught my attention, and has always had my attention. Jace Beleren.
I looked from the window to my skin, and watched as the runes on my body from that accursed demon, glowed dimly. Curse that wretch, if ever his corpse and I were to cross paths I would torture it and submit it to the blackest abyss I could find. Suddenly a thick aura of blue magic permeated the air. My instinct turned to Jace. I quickly wrapped the blanket around me as a cloak, burst through the door and readied my magic, I sneak to Jace's room, and ready myself outside the door. I turned my thoughts to the familiar I would summon, and counted to three.3…2…1…
I stealthily opened the door, and to my surprise Jace was not in fact in trouble…well not in trouble as one would think. Let's just say that this is perfect blackmail for Niv-Mizzet. In the middle of the room sat a fully dressed mind mage, twirling little circles with his finger as a bright blue manta ray looking creature, he once called a "phantasm", flew in small, intricate patterns around and in front of him.
"Ok Titan, now I want you to start bobbing like I showed you."
The creature began to bounce in air and flap its unusually tiny fins. I stifled my rising giggles and tried all I could to resist busting out laughing, but it got the best of me. I burst out laughing and grabbed at my gut. I watch as Jace turned around and looked at me, the phantasm perching on top of his hair. They both at the same time cocked their heads to the side and continued to look at me. My laughing increased at the hilarity of the situation, but Jace just looked at me puzzled.
"What? What's so funny?" he asked continuing to look at me.
"Why are you playing with this…this runt?" I asked.
"His name is Titan, you leave him alone," as he said that, 'Titan', left the top of Jace's head, and cautiously began to approach me. The creature made movements similar to a hunter in the water would, acting as if I didn't see it. He got closer and closer to me, and acted as if he was sniffing me. In one swift motion I grab him by the fin and hold him eye level. The creature begins to flap its other fin and cork screw and spiral and continued until his fin I was holding became twisted up. The creature stopped for a second and looked at me before it started unwinding itself. I let the creature go and it tail-spun through the room. Titan bounced off of the walls until it hit Jace square in the forehead. The creature squeaked rather loudly and knocked Jace over. Jace leaned up and a red mark adorned his forehead and Titan rested on his chest. The creature regained itself and quickly crawled into the neck opening of Jace's cape; popping its head out and made a similar sound to a cat hissing.
I laughed uncontrollably, falling to my knees and gripping my gut. Tears swelled at the corners of my eyes from laughing so hard. I tried to regain control of myself, but every time I looked at Jace, Titan hissed, and it sent my laughter further into a roar.
"Apologize. Now," The mind mage declared, giving me a puppy like frown.
"Why?" I asked, resisting the urge to soil myself in front of him
Something changed on Jace's face, and I knew the grin far too well. It was the grin of sheer mischievousness and evil thoughts. The only thought that could've possible provoked such an idea in his mind was….oh shit.
He looked at me, "Oh shit is right." The next thing I knew, his eyes were glowing blue, and the sound of rushing water could be heard. A ball of water began to form behind him, and three streaks of blue mana ran on the floor and out of the room.
"So I hope you don't mind a little water, seeing as how you haven't visited the restroom this morning."
I looked at him and immediately thought of rushing water and having to use the bathroom. But an even more grim thought came to mind about the streaks of mana.
"That's right Lili, I sent my magic to seal off all the bathrooms. You have no choice."
I looked at him for another moment, watching that sexy, yet evil grin increase. The next second I was tearing down the hallway looking for an escape to release the water in my body. I ran down the hallway, screaming shit in my head as the mind sculptor tore after with the water. I tried every door I could but all were locked and sealed tight with his magic.
He came thundering down the hallways, water trailing behind him, as well as Titan. I picked up the pace, and tried to keep the blanket on me. As I passed a set of swords on the wall, the end of the blanket snagged, tearing it from my grips. "Shit!" I proclaimed, and left it. I turned yet another corner and slipped just as soon as he was about to grab me. We tumbled a few feet, water splashing and bodies flailing onto the cold hard floor. I laid there dazed as to what happened from my head hitting the floor. I opened my eyes to a drenched, smirking Jace, laying on top of me, bracing his weight. We stared at each other for a few more moments and smiles creeped onto our faces.
"Hi," I said.
"Hi," he answered back.
"I'm Liliana, nice to meet…" I tried to say, but he cut me off. My lips met his and he pressed against them passionately. The connection, and fire I felt in my body was intense, and I feel as if something has been replaced, but neither of us wanted to voice it, not just yet anyway. The kissed lasted for another second or two and he pulled away. I felt a frown make its way to may face, but a smile on his.
"Why'd you stop?" I asked my face feverishly red.
"I um…I…" he tried speaking, but Titan popped himself between us and pecked me on the lips, giving a triumphant squeal. The tiny phantasm looked at me and gave a sort of grin. I shoot him a look and Titan quickly fluttered off, scurrying behind Jace. He stood up and helped me up as well. As I stood up, we just stood there; he looked off somewhere else instead of me like I hoped he would.
"Um…something wrong?" I asked, trying to meet his face. He kept looking away.
"Could you please get dressed?" he said.
"Why? It's not like you haven't seen me naked before." I said, wrapping my arms around his and pressing my breasts as close to him as possible.
He quickly pulled his arm away, "please…just get dressed," he said. His face was beet red.
I probably had a look of astonishment upon my face, and shock. I was the most beautiful woman he has ever met. No, I was the sexiest and most beautiful woman in all of the multiverse. How dare he not look at me!?
"Try to project your thoughts to the whole city why don't you," he said.
"Whatever," I brushed past him and gave him a very inappropriate hand gesture. "I don't have to be a mind reader to know you're staring." I stop for a second before turning around the corner and give my hips a little shake, and suddenly the whole room became 100 degrees hotter.
Several moments later, and the small adventure filled with taunts at one another, the views of the city and the different vendors trying to sell their wares to make a living; we eventually arrived at the gates of the Boros Legion: The Sunhome. I will give it one thing, it was impressive; but if it wasn't white magic or red for that matter it would be a thousand times more elegant. Especially if we could literally put a few hundred...thousand corpses everywhere, maybe some specters….
We clear the gates, and walked down a hallway leading to the center of the legion's base. Stopping in a courtyard we observed the troops coming and going throughout the base.
"Well, Mind Sculptor who are we looking for?" I asked, squinting my eyes against all the shining metal and different species walking among each other in harmony.
"We need to find…" he started but trailed off. I followed as his gaze turned to a tower and a figure holding banner hung from a window. The banner had a very poorly drawn Jace, throwing up a "V"-sign with his fingers, and a goofy grin on his face.
"Oh my fucking god…." He said, smacking his hand to his forehead.
"JAAAACCCEEEE! Over here Jace! Hey Jace, up here! It's me Gideon! Remember me…oh God!" the figure name 'Gideon' screamed as he tipped over the edge of the window, and plummeted to the ground. "I'm ok!"
"Mother of god…." Jace said.
This should be very, very interesting.
A/N: I promise that Gideon is not a blubbering idiot. He's just very excited at the moment. And this is the last fluffy chapter for a while. Next chapter will be full of action (: Remember to leave a review, please! More reviews=faster chapters. Thank you all and Keep Calm and Magic On…
