Black birds cawed out into the air as they flew fast from the ground into the sky. They wanted to avoid being slaughtered by the men coming with their clanking armor and weapons meant for merciless killing. They wore white and blue armor and was marching through palace gates, entering a elaborate throne room. Their commander looked over at a slave girl who quickly hid behind a statue as a maid hid behind a stone pillar, both looked human enough besides the feline tail curling around the slave girl's waist in her fear. The commander growled at seeing this and continued, advancing towards a throne where a woman in a dark red and black dress with spots of purple sat.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUpEBkuRn

She had one leg crossed over the other, her head resting on one hand the had the elbow resting on the arm of the throne. At her side stood a man well dressed but wore nothing to say much of if he was of noble class or royal class. She however wore a golden crown on her head of dark red hair that fell down past her waist near her butt. It was held back by a long braid with a few strains towards the both sides of her head to fall over her shoulders. She had her deep emerald green eyes closed. When the commander drew a large double axe off his back he spun it and slammed it down into the red carpet that had a path over the rich colored tiles.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0uzAmRkyc

"Dark Queen! Your life of rule is over!" he bellowed at the motionless queen. "If you ignore us we shall end you quick and easily along with your right hand slug." He sneered at the man to her side.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTonHtW41W

She slowly opened her eyes and looked to the man standing back beside her. "Shade, who are these bafoons? They are destroying my beautiful peace." She moaned with annoyance and boredness.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3WF4FrEvO

"They be men sent here by the blood of Philip." He explained calmly in a sweet voice that held an upper crust proper tone.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPOGMhIAy

"That woman? Ugh she gets on my nerves." The red head groaned while rolling her eyes and smoothly uncrossed her legs only to cross them the other way, showing the slit in her dress that came up to her thigh on the right. Her footwear consisting of red heels that came up over her ankles. They held a dignified yet common look to them as she released a yawn, closing her eyes.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VdaYeOAv

"Do not pass us off as nothing!" shouted the commander in fury at her dismissing them as nothing behavior.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAt4gestVF

Her eyes opened once more to glare narrowed at the lead. "You are annoying me." she seethed coldly. "Go away or you're going to pay with your heads on my study's wall." She snarled at the commander.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mylsfBDjN

That was when one soldier of the four charged forwards, drawing his long arm weapon and swung down at the woman. A flash came to her eyes as she lifted her free hand, crossing it over her chest then slashed it down then outwards. From this a dark energy shot out, slamming into the man's weapon. He gasped then screamed as the dark energy turned into a very dark icy, almost glass like blue with swirls of dark energy flowing inside it. The magic spiked out and impaled the male, taking his life as blood dripped to the floor. She frowned her red lips slowly uncrossing her legs and stood. She snapped her fingers of her other hand and the magic holding the corpse poofed into smoke which dropped the body with a 'thud'.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i0QClCaQq

The others charged forward at her, swinging their weapons down at her but one stayed back and fired an bolt from a crossbow. She looked to the ones who ran at her, easily summoning the black ice material again which blocked then stabbed to impale each one. They retracted to let the corpses fall bleeding onto the floor. She started chuckling before wincing, the bolt striking her shoulder. She hissed and glared at the one who shot it and used her magic to wrap around his throat. The commander was staying quiet, moving carefully back and to get into a better striking position.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR8s7xPDtJ

The archer choked wincing and tried to pull the freezing dark material off his throat with his gloved hands. "Lan! Lan tell me the royals are wrong!" he begged pleading to her before coughing as the coldness tightened around his neck, forcing his head to tilt back and eyes to close.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMEtMpscrL

"You dared to shoot me! No one shoots me!" she screamed glaring coldly. "And why do you use some of that idiots name?" she barked standing tall and tightened her hand which tightened the magic before it began to loosen. He looked with one eye to see her head down and shoulders shaking with lighter shades of red starting to appear in her dark red hair. "Silence! You aren't needed! No one wants you!" she snarled deeply with her teeth gritted and her free hand starting to grip her head.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT37YiWqx7q
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqKxGH3aYE
"Lan?" he asked with confusion as she started to tremble looking up at him with eyes showing a lighter and darker green, slip right in half.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VXhhaF4eV

"They banished me, they started it!" she cried out to him.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8hTMvjSV

"That wasn't true. She got bad information from some of the people who were there. And she was advised to keep down fear to remove you." he explained best he could as he felt it loosen more around his neck. "She didn't want to do it but didn't want riots happening because of public opinion. They said you changed but I didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to think that girl that drew such pretty sketches of nature could be some murderer."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrnFdy9Fw

Shade had been staying back to watch this and frowned when seeing the glass releasing the man's throat. He gently twisted his hand at his side at the wrist, bringing up swirls of shadows to form a fox. He slowly smirked to the beast and waved it forwards and it did that, slipping under the commander's legs to jump and slam into the struggling woman's back. She gasped wincing and closed her eyes tightly. The mirror like material quickly rose and shot out, spiking and impaled the soldier's throat from all sides, killing him and let his body fall once it let go.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g3vVWSUUp

As that happened the lighter red faded back to its dark wine shade as her eyes had returned to the darker emerald as they opened. She turned in time to see the commander's body fall with a spray of blood coming out of his back where a long slash had been made. She looked to Shade who was walking towards her, his arm looking black returned to normal as he looked at her with sympathy. "I'm so sorry my dear queen. It would seem the filth on Indu seems determined to ensure you never have happiness." he cooed softly to her, gently touching her cheek with his dark gloved hand.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChcZtTDvC0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xpc1SdCxU
She sighed closing her eyes and moved her face into his warm touch. "You're the only one who loves me, true this is Shade?" she asked gently with her deeper voice.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmVSWtR47d
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOKsAUmRCZ
"Of course. Why else would I had saved you from the filthy blood related to the ice tyrant?" he questioned gently with a small chuckle. With her eyes closed he gently allowed some shadows to slip from his hand touching her face to lace itself into her ear then wove into her hair to slip in gradually to keep his hold secure. "Why don't we go for a walk around the gardens? I hear the flowers you imported from the southern part of Nuray will be blooming soon."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgbMuelt7H

"That sounds nice. It will let the slaves clean up in here and dispose of the bodies. They are disgusting to me." She sneered at the body of the dead commander then the man who had called her Lan.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3M0i728d7

The two began to walk out as he gently linked his arm with hers. "Don't think more on the matter. He was simply lying to try and allow his commander to murder you. Luckily you were not injured." He explained as his shadows were seeping out of the wound to her shoulder, closing it up and she nodded.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquRJpqwUi0

"Stupid humans." she muttered and he nodded, opening the door and they took their leave of the throne room. Shade shouted out his orders to some slaves to go and clean up the mess and to incinerate the bodies but to send the armor back to Indu's capital as a warning to them of what will happen if they try sending incompetent beings to do their dealings.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8SPOCYb1c

This was done as he with her went to walk around the gardens aglow under Nuray's shinning moon in the darkened night sky.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qbzTXBDE1
