War of clans

[Andy]

Ruskin sighs at her response and shakes his head. Oh yeah..the days leading up to the wedding were going to be a LOT of fun. With his father dying, Xadok practically waiting for the chance to rip his throat out and then Lavvi his fiance wanted nothing to do with him. Some days it truly felt like he was picking the lesser of two evils and right now with Xadok and Lavvi he was choosing a way to die. Xadok would rip his head off and get it over with while Lavvi..he wasn't sure what she would do and that's what probably scared him the most about her. "I don't love talking a lot..I just want to find some neutral ground between us so we don't spend the rest of our lives at each other's throats" When Lavvi shot a dark look at the human he sighed. He then eyed the human carefully. While the humans that lived there all were peaceful some still held some mistrust towards the Jotaig "..Look Lavvi I understand your people don't trust the humans..but not all of them are evil not all of them wish the end of us. To them this is their home just as much as it is mine and they want to live a peaceful life. You should try and give them a chance. Things won't ever get better if you don't try and help it to"

Radnor looked up at Throd and nodded once and stepped to the side "if you'll follow me I'll take you to see one of the finest weapon smiths in the city." He gave Throd a small smile before he walked off the main path that Ruskin and Lavvi were taking to the palace. "I am unaware if you have come to our city at all Throd but I do not ask this out of fear of your safety or anything because I know you are more then capable of handling yourself in a fight. Plus no one here wishes you any ill will but I ask that you do not wander about without a guide..it can be very easy to get lost in our many twisting and winding roads" He shoots a playful look over at Na'la who he had ended up helping plenty of times when she had gotten lost "right Na'la?"

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi listened to what Ruskin had to say and she didn't totally disagree with him, but he was just too nice and careful with his words. It annoyed her greatly. Her whole life at the moment annoyed her '' I don't even trust the Inazuma yet I am marrying one! '' she said exasperated before stopping abruptly and crossing her arms. '' And Dralno forbid, I apparently have no choice but to open my eyes and accept everyone with a big heart like the very 'civilized' inazuma that, just saying, have the most disgusting type of clothing '' she said looking up and down at him with her tone barely containing how overwhelmed she was. '' And you are not the only one who wishes to have a happy marriage with the man I love, to live with my clan, with my traditions. Instead I'm being shipped here, almost sold as a peace treaty and everyone is bossing me around! '' she yelled as she placed her finger on his chest with almost an accusing glare, '' So you know what Ruskin,'' she said with a quiet yet menacing voice, '' fuck off. I don't need you too to tell me what to do, how to behave, or what to think. '' she finished with.

Throd enjoyed the constant compliments from Radnor. Na'La grinned with a nod, '' Radnor helped me so much when I came here. I got lost so many times Uncle! The cities is like a beautiful maze. But don't worry, I wasn't scared. '' she said. Throd laughed a bit before looking at Radnor, '' So tell me, Boy. Why come here of all places? I've heard legends of great cities and landscape where you can farm year long, yet you come in the most dangerous part of Eirion. Why?'' he asked

 

[Andy]

Ruskin stood in silence as Lavvi let him hear what was exactly on her mind. With each word she spoke his certainty on how she felt only became more and more clear to him. When she set a finger on his chest he looked down at the finger and then up at her with a raised eyebrow. When she was finished he just shook his head "you think I don't understand that you hate what's going on? You think I don't know that you don't want to marry me? Lavvi I really am sorry that you have had to give up a future you had planned to bring peace between our people I really am. And I'm not telling you what you need to do or how to behave I wouldn't do that to you or anyone else. Your not some prize or trophy to be won your a proud Khajiit and the daughter of the Kaist of the Jotaig tribe and I would never see you as anything less then that. Now..whether you'll ever love me or if I'll ever love you is one thing but that doesn't mean we have to spend the rest of our lives hating each other." He looks down into her eyes and stared into them for a moment before continuing "If I had a choice I wouldn't be taking you from the man you love. I really wouldn't. I'm not going to even try and force you to be anything else beside who you are."

Radnor paused and rubbed the back of his head as Throd asked the question he had heard so many times since coming here. It had never gotten easier to answer the question because quite frankly he didn't quite know why he had come this way either. After a small pause he gave a small sigh "well..to be perfectly honest..I'm not one for settling down in one place for long. I'm an explorer I enjoy going out and meeting new people seeing new lands and doing new things" He glances at Throd and then looks ahead. He felt like the big Khajiit would understand what he was saying "a farm sounds good and all..but..that life just isn't for me..here with the Inazuma I've met many wonderful and mysterious people and I've seen and learned things that some humans only dream of and others..only see them as legend" He gave a soft sigh at that "When I was a boy I had heard stories of your people of all the wonderful things that you could do. And I wanted to see it for myself I wanted to find and meet your people so I could really understand you. I don't say that like your a new species of animal or something but I'm curious as to what truly makes a Khajiit a Khajiit."

[Replied from my phone, so sorry for bad quality]

Lavvi looked up at with the same sadness in her eyes before she turned around closing her eyes. '' I'm Sorry. '' she said voiding her voice of any emotions except anger. How could she forget herself in front of him or all person? Why did she have to show her weakness? She was so angry at herself, at her father and Xadok, at Ruskin for being so nice, to everyone for just making her feel so vulnerable. Lavvi opened her eyes and started walking forward without saying another word or talking to him, just thinking silently. What was she thinking? She didn't know.
As she walked, she could notice couples, children, and families. She didn't care about the race or anything at this point. She was jealous. Jealous of their happiness. For just a second she wished to be someone else. Someone that had a choice in the matter and didn't have responsibilities weighing on her shoulders. She wanted to be free! Yet, she was chained by her father and the father of this man. And for what? For peace between two tribes that hated each other. Between two brother tribes that were completely different and would never get along.

Lavvi looked at a Khajjit mother caring for a child when her husband came from behind and placed a lingering kiss. She felt her heart clench looking at the love they shared as images of Xadok kissing her the same way flooded her mind. A tear trailed down her cheek and her shoulder tensed as she looked straight ahead not realizing that she couldn't hold it in anymore and she silently teared up as she walked to her new permanent habitation.

Meanwhile, Throd looked at Radnor with his wry smile. His red eyes scanning the human wondering if this man was honest. He seemed good, but appearances weren't always what it seems. Placing his hand over his sword that he forged himself. '' You want to see what a Khajjit is truly made of? The gift Shakan gave to us Jo.Taig ?'' he asked not blinking once as his claws started digging the ground under him and he licked his canines not parting his eyes from Radnor. The adrenaline started pumping in his bloodstream. His eyes dimed except for the fiery red of his iris practically glowing.

 

[Andy]

Ruskin said nothing as Lavvi started walking again. He just started to follow her. He knew that she had been carrying that baggage of emotions for far to long now. He wanted to hug her but he felt that if he did she'd only snap at him again. That or she'd attack him. He didn't know what to do. He was supposed to be her husband in matter of days yet they hardly knew each other. He wanted to get to know her better he honestly did and he wanted to do what he could to make her life happy even though she could no longer be with the man she really loves.

Ruskin noticed that the tears were falling from her cheeks but stayed silent about it knowing that her pride was too important to her. It was one of the few things she had left. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a small handkerchief for her and slowly held it out to her. If she didn't take it fine if she did then fine at the moment it didn't really matter to him. He had seen the Khajiit family as well and he knew that's what she was thinking about. The family that she could have had...the life she could have had. He couldn't help but wonder the same thing. Who would he have married if it wasn't for this matching between them? He shook his head and stared straight ahead again. Now wasn't the time to be thinking about that. "Lavvi..I um.." He sighed. He wanted to say so many things but when he tried to put them into words he couldn't figure out how to say them. And even if he could he felt that he would only be repeating the things he had said earlier and that wouldn't do much to help calm her down any.

Meanwhile Radnor had noticed the look that had gotten into the large Khajiit's eyes and shuddered a bit in fear. "Uh..you honor me sir..but..I'm not prepared for battle at the moment plus we wouldn't want to cause a panic in the streets here..if you wish we can spar at a later time. I would consider it an honor to fight you but..just not here we have a colisseum built for sparing and events that we can do battle in later." It wasn't that he didn't think he could stand toe to toe with the big Kaist the issue was their location. He was worried about civilians and property that might get damaged in the brawl. It was one thing if two people got into a fight on the streets but if one of them was a Jotaig? That would cause an uproar and many would start to question the decision of their Kaist.

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi had not expected him to hand her a handkerchief. She had glanced at it before snatching it and whipping her eyes rapidly not wanting anyone to look at her that way. She did a small sniff before folding the handkerchief and handing it back at him. '' Thank you. There was... too much dust for a second. '' she said as an excuse as she scratched a bit the corner of her eyes trying to hold herself a bit. Though, she appreciated his kindness and his comprehension. She hadn't expected that of him and was slightly more comfortable and at ease with that boy. She knew very well that not all Inazuma's are idiotic sell outs. Mainly what she hated from them was their lack of cautiousness and patriotism.

'' So where exactly is my room? I'll manage to go on my own. '' she said in a quiet voice. A lot less authoritative as it usually is. She wasn't too sure where she was at this point, but she could manage finding her way to the guest room. She didn't want to bother anyone nor be bothered and she felt exhausted by the trip of three days in the uncomfortable carriage, but at least their trip was reduced of four days which she wasn't exactly grateful for since that meant she had to be here, but at least the wait wasn't as torturous.

Meanwhile, Throd the opened his eyes and glanced around a bit slacked jaw. He laughed loudly straightening himself up a bit as he slapped Radnor's back again. '' HA HA HA HA! I'm sorry human. In my village, we fight anywhere and everyone jumps in! '' he said continuing to laugh as a few of his warriors that were still around the carriage laughed letting a few inaudible comments. They all seemed carefree yet so aggressive. All of the male Jotaigs were tall and strong with scars. Even the Jotaig Lady warriors looked like she could take two bites from anyone there.

There was something about that tribe that not many had. They were fearsome and knew who they were, and they certainly knew how to laugh and live. Yet, some just saw them as beast that were uncivilized, which was completely the contrary.

 

[Andy]

Ruskin took the handkerchief back and nodded once "yes I understand the dust can get into your eyes very easily" He didn't say it in a sarcastic way or anything. There might have been a small hint of sympathy in his tone but otherwise it was pretty much neutral. He could only imagine how much she was hurting under the surface and he wished he could do something to ease that pain but..he didn't know what to do. It wasn't like he could just call of the engagement that would bring a bunch of new problems to add along with the old ones. No..their marriage was the only way to secure peace between their people.

When she asked about where her room was he pointed towards the large wooden door that would lead them into the palace "inside here is where you, your father and the rest of your entourage will be staying. This is our royal palace. Our main hall. Or whatever you want to call it. It is easy to get lost in here so I'll escort you the rest of the way it will only be a few more moments" He understood her desire to be alone and he respected it but he didn't want her to accidentally walk into his fathers sick bed. His father insisted on not having guards stand outside the door so it would be easy for someone who is not accustomed to the palace to walk into his room by mistake.

Radnor nearly fell flat on his face when Throd slapped him on his back. Damn the Kaist was strong. He rubbed his back and gave a small nervous chuckle and nodded a bit "I understand that Throd and if we were in your home I would spar with you anytime anywhere however as your aware not all of the Inazuma are fighters. For some their art and crafts are their lives work and it would break their spirits if someone were to destroy them in a street brawl. That is why all differences are settled in the arena. Along with any tests of strength. Now that isn't to say there isn't a street brawl here and there thanks to a drunken argument or something of the sort however it is normally split up before any damage can be done"

Radnor smiled at the big Kaist. He had always known that the Jotaig weren't mindless beasts who were hell bent on destruction. They were people or..Khajiit too and they laughed and had fun and cared about each other in their own way. Yeah they were a bit rough around the edges and they loved to get down and dirty but they weren't uncivilized. The Inazuma were the same way just in the opposite. They weren't all pomp and circumstance and they didn't all care about their arts and looks. They enjoyed a good fight but they preferred to use words to settle a disagreement if they needed to. THey only wanted to use violence as a last resort.

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi nodded and simply muttered, '' Ok, ''. She walked through the hall lost in her own world. She wondered why she had taken his handkerchief. She never in 19 years being alive taken sympathy by others. Never. Glancing to her side to look at him for a brief second, she wondered how he could be so composed with his father dying. She knew just how much a parent counted, especially a father. After all, that's all she had left. Her father. And he wasn't exactly the most caring or loving, but she wouldn't wish anything but his presence in her life. And death was inevitable. How was he so accepting of it? Or at least not being angry like she would? Of course, she knew of her temper and not everyone would generate anger for anything. But at least a little right? Or so she thought.

'' How is your father? '' she asked out of nowhere as she adverted her eyes back to the palace. Her eyes showed great interest in this strong carved tree. How interesting... This is similar to the Silvanies habitation... I wonder how they sleep and what they eat... she told herself and actually surprised herself. She found something pecular about their culture, but it greatly attracted her. She found herself wanting to know more.

The Kaist huffed and nodded, '' Good, but I don't really care. How about a good spar at the Arena? '' he said making everyone around laughing once more. He didn't want to talk much, he wanted to show Radnor. He had a few stuff to tell that human.

 

[Andy]

Ruskin walked beside her and led her inside the palace. The lights were made out of a special orb that appeared to be of elven make. The doors themselves were carved from the actual bark and wood of the trees as well as the stairs. Most of the decorations were also made of wood from the tree and were intricately designed into them. It looked like the carvings were almost done by magic that's how carefully and skillfully they were in the trees. When she asked him about his father his breath caught in his throat and tears threatened to fall from his eyes but he quickly composed himself. It was clear that he was carrying a lot of emotion on him but he was putting on an act for his father and for his people. He would do anything for them even at the cost of his own happiness. "He's um...he's not well...I don't know how much time he has left in this world..I don't even think he'll make it to the wedding to be honest..." He let out a slow breath and quickly wiped at his eyes to keep the tears from falling "I just want his pain to end..I don't want to lose my father but...when he goes I know he'll be at peace and that he'll be with my mother again in the after life."

Radnor shifted on his feet a bit and swallowed hard. The kaist was clearly looking for a fight and it seemed that no matter what Radnor would say or do he would be pulled into this fight. He slowly nodded his head and let out a slow breath "if..that's what you want to do sir we can go straight to the arena and we can be outfitted for a spar and be at battle in less then an hour and by the time we finish and clean up we can return to the palace for dinner. If that is what you wish sir"

 

[B l u E s]

Walking side by side, Lavvi glanced once more noticing the hint of restrained sadness. '' May I go see him? '' she asked kindly, but with a lot of authority. That man who forced her into an unwanted marriage was to die. Knowing her, usually she would wish him death. But for some reason, it wasn't the case at the moment. There was something she needed to know, something that will maybe help her accept this curse spelled upon her.

Throd looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He sure talked a lot, in his opinion. '' Sure... I guess. '' he said turning around abruptly with his weapons clashing together. '' Bring your best soldiers Radnor of Velika. '' he said with a hint of hatred at the title he attributed to him. It was obvious that the red eyed Khajjit suspected something, and he needed to extract some information. And what best but a battle between warriors? Of course, a friendly battle.

 

[Andy]

Ruskin looked at her. He was a bit surprised by her request for the last thing he would have ever expected from her would be a desire to go see his father. He sighed and looked down as he thought about it. Knowing her she wouldn't ask to go see his father without a reason but..he still wasn't sure if he should let her see his father. The last thing his father needed was to say something that might upset her and send her into a rage. However this might be the only chance she could have to talk to him. He gave a small nod and turned down a hallway that had appeared on the left of them "this way.." He led her down another hallway that led to a large door that had been carved into the tree. Outside the door stood two guards at the ready in case anyone would try to sneak in and attack the weakened Kaist. When they saw Ruskin they stood at ease and gave him a small nod of acknowledgment before they would open the doors and allow the two of them to walk inside. "I'll wait here...take as long as you want but..I do ask that you not take forever he does need his rest." He steps to the side to allow her to cross to his father's bed. The bed wasn't royal or elegant in any fashion it was simple but refined in it's own way. The frame that held the bed was made of wood that was adorned with special drawings that seemed to tell the story of Kazeha's life and all the deeds and things he had done during it. The old Kaist looked extremely frail and his breathing was ragged and rattling. He had clearly lost weight since the last time she would have seen him. So much so that his eyes had practically sunken so far into his skull that he might not be able to see anymore. He was covered in fur blankets to keep him warm and the smell of incense was strong within the room.

Radnor looked at the Kaist and slowly nodded his head "of course." He swallows hard and turns on his heel and starts leading the small group towards the arena. It was clear that the Kaist did not trust him and thought he was up to something. It didn't take a genius to see that. However Radnor wasn't here to earn the approval of the Kaist of the Jotaig. He was here as a member of the Inazuma and as Ruskin's friend. He had devoted his life to the Inazuma and no matter what he would protect their honor for their honor was his own and to him the prosperity and well being of the tribe meant everything.

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi nodded gracefully before making her in the room. She looked at how beautifully the wooden walls were carved with imagines of this kinds life. She glanced at him from a far as she took in a deep breath of the smell of musc. It was intoxicating to say the least. She hated the smell of it. Taking a step forward, she looked over the bed to see not what they call a king, but more like a corpse. He was repulsive, skinny, disgusting to look. She felt like her guts were ready to spill out at his sigh, but she wouldn't show that of course. Her visage still void of any expression.

In fact, what she did was leaned forward and brush the very thin hair of his forehead. '' Good Afternoon, my king..'' she said hating the words as it came out. Not that she hated that man in particular, she just didn't like calling anyone king. For her, inazuma were a fraud and corrupted. That's all. But out respect for this dying man, she figured that she could go a bit soft. His son was well educated at least, she didn't end up arranged with some drunk khajjit she will end killing in their nuptial night. Or at least, he didn't prove himself to be worth killing... yet.

The Kaist looked at him and grinned showing off his sharp teeth. '' Good, show me the way young boy. '' he said making a very human bow but not parting his eyes from him. His warriors once again laughed because for them, bowing in such manner was an insult. Being submissive and weak. Only cowards would bow, even to their Kaist. In the Jotaig clan, there was no such thing as a bow.

 

[Andy]

The elder kaist slowly opened his eyes at her words and touch. His eyes were a pure milky white to show that in his failing health he had list his eye sight. His eyes stared at the ceiling and looked disoriented but there was no denying that they still held wisdom. The kaist let out a weak cough and took in a raspy lung full of air before he spoke in a wheezy voice "lavvi of the Jotaig..i assume that is who I am speaking with?" He let out another cough and licked his chapped lips "..lavvi..i know you may not like me..but I also know that you have no hatred for me either..but..i am no king..that is not my title I am a kaist just like your father..and all I want is prosperity for my people..and life away from blood shed and war..but..i assume you have not come to hear an old man's ramblings.." he gave a weak cough and then a small smile "tell me lavvi...what is on your mind?..what do you wish to ask me?"

Radnor gave a small sigh. He knew the Kaist was insulting him. However he would not argue nor would he give the Kaist the satisfaction of getting under his skin. Instead he just started walking towards the arena "i think you will greatly enjoy the arena lord Kaist. It will give us quite the terrain to battle on"

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi looked at him slightly feeling pity, but there was respect evident in her eyes. She hesitated to ask her question and looked to the door where Ruskin stood behind. She turned her head once more to the dying Kaist and asked. '' What do you know of my mother?'' she asked in a monotone voice ready to have any type of answer. But depending on the respond, she wasn't sure if that man would live another second with her in the room. '' My father greatly respects you and for some reason, the past seven years he has placed many rules against attacking any of your people even if I wouldn't be able to say the same of yours. '' she said with a bit of disdain. Throd had indeed sign one peace threaty with the Inazuma, but the people didn't forget and there was still many hate crimes on both sides of the end.

The most recent one being the burned camp site on the west. One of the Jotaig managed to capture one of the culprit and he was an Inazuma, which left the decision of the Jotaig Kaist in questioned. Many warriors who lived and saw the cruelty of some of the Inazuma soldiers were against this arrangements. That's why of all people, Lavvi asked this man. He was dying, he wasn't going to lie. There was no point and she knew, just by the look of her father, that their was more to it.

Meanwhile, Throd grinned at the proposition of Radnor and followed him to the arena

 

[Andy]

Kazeha stared at the ceiling as he processed her question in his mind. Whether the question had disturbed him or surprised him was unclear. Maybe it was a bit of both. After a short while he gave a soft sigh and glanced in her direction before he looked back up at the ceiling "your father never told you then?..It's not surprising. Throd may be a powerful warrior and a strong leader..but he still hurts and bleeds like everyone else..and that wound is still fresh in his mind and his heart." He gave another small sigh and then looked at her again.

He just stared at her for a moment as if he was staring through her and looking at her very soul. "your so much like your mother was...strong willed, and beautiful." He gave another soft sigh and then looked back at the ceiling. "I never knew your mother personally...only by her reputation of her prowess as a warrior and kaist of the Jotaig. She was just like any other Kaist or member of the Jotaig tribe strong and sturdy like a mountain never giving way for anything. However..unlike the other Jotaig she wanted peace between our people. She wanted to see our tribes united under one banner again."

He gave a small cough and let out a slow breath. "Before I tell you anymore I must say this...not even Ruskin knows of this story..so..I ask that you not hold anything against him for not telling you or if he seems ignorant to the situation so please..bare some patience with him if he says something wrong." He then looks back up at the ceiling. "I was young when I met your mother..unfortunately the meeting we would have would be our first and last. I was much younger..and full of hate for the Jotaig for that was the way I was raised by my father. We always desired peace..but we never thought it would be possible for peace between our people so we never made an attempt. Your mother however thought differently and it was she who opened my eyes to the prospect of change."

He gave another rattling cough and let out a few raspy breaths before he was able to continue. "When I became Kaist our people were in the middle of a huge battle..this battle had been going on for some while..it was named the Battle of Blind Justice due to a few things that had happened before the battle..much finger pointing on both sides of our people. Both sides decided to pursue justice on our own. The culprits of the crimes done unto our people were only found out at the end of the battle..a human raiding party had been attacking our people and planting evidence that it was the opposite tribe..their goal was to have us wipe each other out and then they would take care of the stragglers."

He closed his eyes and licked his dry lips before continuing. "before the battle had begun..you and Ruskin had been born. You were both so defenseless at that age we should have put more protection around you..however our goals were set elsewhere on the fighting. Ruskin was kidnapped and even to this day I do not know how it happened. I set out to find him with a troop of my best warriors. However we wouldn't be the ones that found him. It was your mother that did. She had been leading a set of soldiers on her own to find any camps of ours that could be a threat. They never found our camps what they found instead were the human raiders that were setting us all up. Without hesitation your mother and her warriors charged in and easily cut down the humans and destroyed their encampment. Inside the leaders tent is where they found my son.."

Tears welled up slightly in his eyes as he continued to recall the memory. "Your mother instantly recognized him as my son..your mother was a sorceress and had many great powers. I suspect her powers had to do with her knowing who Ruskin was. Her soldiers urged her to take Ruskin to their camp to hold him hostage. She made a different call. She saw this as an opportunity to bring our people together by returning Ruskin to his home so that's what she and her troop set out to do. However they wouldn't make it to our capital city. On the way they were ambushed by more of the human stragglers. Your mother alone survived however...Ruskin had been gravely injured in the battle. Me and my troop had followed the sounds of battle and had arrived at the end to find your mother holding my son who was broken..bleeding and close to death."

"I was enraged..I thought she was the cause of this..the cause of my sons pain and the chance of him dying. I will be honest I was close to finishing the job the humans started but..then she surprised me. She told me that she had found him in the humans camp and that she was bringing him home. I was obviously skeptical but she delivered strong proof with her statement that made me believe her. She explained that she was on her way to return Ruskin to his home when she and her men had been ambushed."

He closed his eyes and let out another slow breath. "Your mother said Ruskin didn't have much of a chance to make it..unless she used her abilities to save his life. However..doing so would cost her, her own. While I wanted my son's life saved I couldn't let her give up her own life for his. I had started to argue that there had to be another way but she said there wasn't. She asked for only pne in return. That I do everything in my power to bring change to both of our people..to bring peace between them. She told me she had just given birth to a strong young girl..and she was the one that suggested the marriage between you and Ruskin to bring our people together. I agreed..and then she cast her spell ending her own life to save my sons"

He opened his eyes and stared at her "I cannot put into the words the beauty I saw as she cast her spell to save my sons life and I will be forever in her debt for doing so. I took Ruskin home and nursed him back to health. We returned your mother's body to your people and tried to tell them what happened. They of course didn't believe us and another battle threatened to break out. So we left them to mourn her death. It took a long while but..eventually your father believed what we said..saying that it sounded like your mother that she would do something like that. So the meetings began to bring peace between our people and the rest?..well..the rest you should know."

 

[B l u E s]

Lavvi looked at the man with furious and narrowed eyes, '' She left me to save tha- that kid? '' she asked looking at him straight in the eyes with so much sadness and anger. Her tears threatened to fall as she spoke up louder, '' For something as vague as Peace? Something so ironic to acquire!? FOR HIM?'' she ended up shouting with so much emotion as she bursted into tears at the mere thought. Since she was four years old, she hated the world for taking her mother away. She hated the Inazuma, despite them and would say hateful things about their culture to her peers. She wanted them all dead! And to finally know that she sacrificed herself for one Khajjit that maybe will save them and bring peace?

'' I can't believe you. Your lying. '' She said as her eyes filled with hatred and she pulled out a needle with a poison. She was ready to slash his throat with it, but she looked at his eyes and held back for just a minute. He approached him and spoke up with so much darkness. '' Why should I believe you, King '' she said with much sarcasm.

Right now, she was directing it all to him. He was old, dying and useless. He should of killed himself long before ending up in his miserable state. She had no pity for him and couldn't careless if he croaked right there.

She made sure to kick a chair to the door making it impossible for anyone to go in. '' Tell me why I shouldn't take your last breath in the name of MY peace, '' she whispered in spite as she looked at him with her dark eyes.

Kazeha laid in his bed and didn't even flinch at her sudden outrage nor at the sudden appearance of the needle in her hands. He continued to stare at the ceiling and just slowly closed his eyes and let out a slow breath "..I'm a dying man Lavvi..I have nothing to hide nor do I have any reason to lie to you. I'll be dead soon whether you use that poison on me or not.." He opened his eyes again and looked at her ".I am telling you the truth Lavvi..whether you want to believe me or not is up to you..but I think you know in your heart that what I say is the truth..just don't want to accept it."

Ruskin that was standing outside the room gave a small jump as he heard the sudden out burst from inside. He hurried to the door and tried to open it only to find it barred from the other side. What the hell was going on in there!? What was Lavvi doing to his father?! He started pounding on the door as he tried to get it open "Lavvi! open the door! what is going on in there!? what are you doing to my father?!"

Lavvi stared at the old man before tsi-kin with her tongue. '' I swear on Aher the god of the Afterlife, that if you are lying to me Kazeha The Eternal King, '' she said with a tad of sarcasm,'' Your son's legacy won't see a shred of light. '' he said as she immediatly retreated her poison needle back in it's place, which is inside her leather bracelets. '' And my word is sacred. '' she said as she looked at him from below refusing to acknowledge this piece of information. It didn't match what she believed and automatically rejected it with no thought into it.
Removing the chair from the door, she opened the door and stared at Ruskin, '' What would I do to a dying man, you idiot. Rape him?'' she said finding him so idiotic. As if she would finish off a dying man and risk her head for ridicule reasons. She only had to pray and do her sorcery. No one will know, she will only have to sacrifice a beast, and no one would ever know.

Kazeha gave a small sigh and stared at the ceiling as she turned to leave "ask your father. Tell him you talked to me about your mother.he will tell you the truth. You of all people would know when he is lying to you" With that Kazeha closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. When the door opened it took every ounce of Ruskin's will power to not jump Lavvi and throttle her for locking him out. He had trusted her to speak with his father in good faith and she had locked him out to do god's knows what to him. He said nothing to her comment and just glared at her. He didn't know what was said behind those closed doors but he definitely was not going to leave her alone with his father again. "Shall I show you to your room then Lavvi?."

Lavvi simply looked into his eyes with an undescribable stare. It was quite obvious what she was feeling inside. Rage being most predominant, but her stare could lead many confuse. She looked at him without saying a word before snapping her eyes to the side at the sound of guards marching towards them. Their swords clinging as they were ordered to go to the arena. She looked back at Ruskin questionably, '' My room you were saying? '' she asked when a guard came running to Ruskin.

'' Prince! '' The poor soldier said panting. He wasn't exactly the type that Throd would want to fight due to his skinny-ness and his mediocre looking claws. '' Throd of The Sands has requested your presence at the Arena with your best armor and weapons... '' the soldier said his fur dripping in sweat due to the heat. '' And he also asks for you, my Grace. '' he said bowing to Lavvi that made a disgusted face.

'' Oh please don't call me that yet. Makes me feel like i've been already sold out like some pitiful human female. '' she said.

[ I am letting you set up the allure of the Arena and how Inazuma Soldiers are etc. ]
