Senaz Capitol
Chapter 8: The Deal
The sun Glistened over the mountain alerting the villagers it was a new day. Hearing the sounds of doors opening and closing and voices of kids running and playing Lesa woke up and sat up on her bed. Her arm still ached from yesterdays battle so she tried rubbing it to ease the pain. She looked over her right shoulder to see Kalex sleeping. She loved the way he slept, she had told Kalex that many times before. He never moved in his sleep as if he wanted to stay in that position forever. She kept looking at her friend...her best friend.
"Why are you looking at me like that" Kalex said half asleep. Lesa jumped in shock, trying to catch her breath as she responded
"Jeez scared the hell out of me" She smiled, but Kalex wasn't in a joking mood and she saw this
"You didn't answer my question" Kalex said standing up
"I was just checking on you, you don't move in your sleep gotta make sure your not dead" She said as she stood heading to the bathroom. Kalex lightened up a bit trying to forget what happened yesterday.
"Ok creeper lets get ready for the meeting with our visitors" He smirked at her has she walked away
"Sure captain" She said sarcastically as he closed the door to the bathroom.
Kalex looked at the picture of him and Lesa. He picked it up and smiled. It was a picture of the duo at her 15th Birthday party which he was the only boy that went because she trusted him and no other boy. He remembered how much fun they had as kids hunting animals, training on rainy days with his dad, and especially when Lesa and him sat together and watched the meteor shower on windy nights. Kalex missed those days when they could do anything without a care in the world. A tear fell on the picture as he thought of the day his father died, how much he cried in Lesa's arms, she comforted him. Then he remembered she cried too, she grew with him she knew his father well, not knowing her own father she looked up to him as a father figure, someone who knew all the answers to her problems, someone who would protect her with there life if need be, and especially someone who considered her as family even if they weren't connected by blood. They both made a promises to stick together because as Kalex's father said in his own words "you're all I've got". He knew eventually him and Lesa would get married and have kids, but something told him other wise.
"This look good?"
Kalex put the picture in his pocket to see Lesa with a long red dress with bits of armor on the shoulder and chest, her long brown hair was straight and glossy. Kalex was in awe of what she had on.
"You look great but its just a meet up" Kalex said trying not to blush
"Exactly always gotta have good first impressions just like your dad said" She said smiling
"Yeah well I'm gonna put on my tier 2 Knight armor just in case things get out of hand" Kalex said turning to his closet
"Ok just hurry up we don't have along time" She walked to the front awaiting Kal. His Tier 2 Knight armor wasn't as heavy or powerful as his other Tiers but they did allow him to do alot more acrobatic moves than the others ones. He but it on equipped his sword on his back sword holder and walked to the front.
"Ok Big Guy lets get going then" Lesa said walking towards the capitol of Senaz and the Birth place of the Red Suns
Senaz Capitol
Lesa and Kal entered the room where the remaining 3 Knights Alex, O'Bryan, and Jess were standing around a table. They turned around acknowledging their presences. Seeing the two Alex walked up to them.
"Just in time, Rumor has it our "Visitors" want a piece of the land if we allow them to aid us in the war" Hearing this Lesa turned to Kal to see his reaction
"They cant just walk on our land and expect us to bow to there demands" Lesa walked towards the table ready to argue to the death before a hand went on her shoulder. Kalex put his other hand on the table signaling everyone to listen. He agreed with Lesa this was there home he didn't trust no one but themselves to rule over it, but he knew any hostility could lead them into another war, plus they deserved some reward for fighting in a war they never had a part of. He turned to look at the red sun that hung over the room. He always looked at it to remember where they came from and why they are the Red Suns.
" I agree with Lesa" Hearing this Lesa grew a cocky grin on her face.
"But..." The grin disappeared faster than it appeared which made Alex laugh a little.
"We shouldn't show any hostility towards them, plus they need some sort of a reward for fighting in this"
He looked at the sun once again
"We will discuss this once they arrive" With that everyone got prepared for their arrival. Lesa walked up to Kalex who was looking at the map on the table trying to figure our a strategy to attack one the Nexus Regime forts.
"Just want to let you know whatever happens I'm here for you" She smiled hugging him. To her surprise he hugged back. He push back to see her face.
"I know you always have" He smiled which made Lesa melt on the inside. Before Anymore words were said the main doors open to reveal The general of the queen and Queen Mewni her self. Most of the knights stared at toffee. They've seen monsters before just not up close and in such professionalism. The Queen walked to the Table in which all the knights were there the only one not staring at Toffee was Kalex. He was staring at Mewni herself. He was in complete shock of how beautiful she was and sophisticated she looked. He noticed the marks she had on her checks. They were stars each cheek had one, both yellow and bright. He shook himself out of his trans trying not to forget the purpose of their meeting.
"So i suppose you're the leader of this group" Queen Mewni said looking at Kalex
"Yes, My name is Kalex Sol and I'm the leader if the Red Suns" He responded with pride. She looked around and smiled.
"Hello Kalex I'm Mewni Butterfly Queen of the New Butterfly Order, as you might have guessed we seek a new home and hope you willing to allow is in" She said with a casual tone as if she was talking to a friend. He looked at her with a curious look.
"What happened to your previous home" Kal said with a somber voice. The questioned caught her off guard and she stared to tear up. Noticing this Kalex quickly responded.
"I'm sorry your majesty i didn't mean to offend you in anyway" She looked at him believing him she took a deep breathe.
"Don't worry about it and please call me Mewni" She said smiling him
"Now Mewni you said you'd help us in the war effort and in return we'd leave a piece of land for your people" Kal said looking at Mewni
"Yes I'm wiling to fight for my people's future" She said as she pulled out her wand which was shaped like a star with purple stripes on the sides of it.
"What's that" Lesa asked curious as to what Mewni was holding.
"Its my wand it holds magic in these crystals" She showed them it hoping it would impress them.
"We know what those crystals do, they were banned here because of there capabilities" O'Bryan said as he walked towards Kalex's side
"I use it for good" Mewni responded
"We can tell and we are glad that we are on good terms now lets talk about the situations at hand" Kalex said as The knights and Mewni talked for what seemed like hours about the ongoing war with the Nexus Regime, and how Mewni could help end the war in one shot with one attack. They discussed there past and how they formed to become The Red Suns. All of this was done to gain her trust, the only one that acted human was Kalex he showed emotions. The rest stood there keeping an eye on Mewni as if they didn't trust her, emotionless. Queen Mewni saw this and was relieved that at least Kalex was wiling to trust her. They got to a compromise if Queen Mewni would help them win the war and in return they would be given half the land of Senaz, they all agreed and with that the meeting ended and the knights were escorting the Queen to her carriage outside of the temple. Once she reached the carriage she requested she talk to Kalex alone
"I would like to speak to Kalex alone if i may" Kalex blushed and turned to Lesa and the other knights who all made the same "Its all or none of us" face that told him if she told him something she had to tell them too, but Kalex gave them a nod signaling them to head back to the room and they did so. She turned her head to look at the 6 foot 2 inched man in front of her.
"Thanks for trusting me in there i know barging in and asking for a place to stay isn't the best hello but i appreciate the chance" She said smiling at him. All he could do his stare at her long jet black hair and those bright purple eyes that put him in a trans. He shook himself out of the trans (AGAIN) and built up enough courage to respond back to a thank you.
"Of course Mewni" He said trying not to stare to long again, but he was curious about her wand more than anything at the moment.
"Hey, uh how do you plan to help win the war with...the wand" He asked looking at the wand. She looked at it too
"Its a long story but i know how to stop this war" She said with confidence.
"Ok we'll escort you to the castle walls soon, for now get some rest" He smiled walking away. She grabbed his wrist making him turn around confused.
"Hey uhhh where do you live you know incase i have any questions or maybe if i just wanna hang out" she said trying not to blush. He hesitated in telling her but than he remembered in the meeting she said she's only 18, same age as him. They were both still young and deserved to have fun every once in awhile despite their duty's. He deicide it would be cool to hang out, it could even boast relation between her kingdom and his. But that wasn't the only reason why, he found her beautiful more so than any other woman he'd ever seen plus her personality was just lovable, he wanted to know more about the Queen herself and not just rumors.
"I live on Ochers lane house 27" smiling he gave her the address on a piece of armor he randomly had in is pocket. She smiled an took it
"I might visit later this afternoon there's supposed yo be a cool meteor shower tonight" She said hoping hed say yes
" What about your queen duties" he reasoned hoping she had answer for it
"its ok my General toffee will take care of it"
"The Lizard?" Kal questioned creeped out by him
"yea he's been serving my family since he was a teenager he even help raise me" Kalex was token back by this.
"Wow looks pretty young huh" Mewni giggled from his response she knew he didn't know about immortality but it was still funny to her to see his reaction to her comment.
"He's immortal dum dum" she said making dumb face that made Kal almost burst out laughing.
"Ohhhh that makes alot of since" He said feeling stupid. She entered her carriage while he closed it behind her.
"So you wanna come with me to the meteor shower?" she asked one more time. It took almost no time for him to respond
"It would be a pleasure" he said in a fake fancy voice.
"Ok Ok i don't talk like that" she said bursting out laughing.
"Ok i wont keep you waiting your friend is waiting for you" Kal looked behind him to see Lesa looking at the two with a glare on her face
"Don't worry about her she's just really protective over me, anyway ill see later" Kal said as he waved watching her gallop away on her carriage while also watching her stock her head out the window to wave which made Kalex smile even more. Once she was out of sight he turned around to Lesa who seemed livid.
"What's wrong Lesa" he tried asking
"Nothing it just bothers me how easy you trust her" She yelled back angry
"Look i trust her she isn't what you think she is, she's simply helping us for her kingdoms future" With that the two walked Home to rest as the next couple days were gonna be busy for the Knights of Mewni.
