Thread: Chains of Gossamer ~ Ashiaka & AlureNova

The respect Seraphina was shown had surprised Kira at first but she quickly became use to it, having already realized what kind of woman the sorceress was. She knew she was in trouble, it was impossible to resist someone as strong and as respected as this woman seemed to be. Of course she didn't think that in terms of personal resistance but escaping or managing to slip away was going to be next to impossible. It would be something she would have to keep her eyes out for so she could take advantage of any opportunity that presented itself. Her thoughts of escape would have to wait though, she was currently too weak and still a bit injured from battle and that would not aid in her efforts to get out of her current situation, if that was even a possibility. The thought of being too weak brought all the pains and injuries to the forefront of her mind and she took a deep breath to try and shove them down again, throbbing muscles and the stinging pain of cuts and some moderate injuries being too difficult to completely ignore and she just had to endure it. That wasn't important anyways, not nearly as important as the possibility of the sorceress knowing who she was, the name Vivaldi having some degree of fame to it. She swallowed hard, glad the woman didn't remember and hoping it would stay that way, though she wasn't very confident that it would, her luck just hadn't been that good recently. There was still more pressing matters, such as them entering the throne room, the true proof of who Seraphina was, her being able to stroll in front of the king without hesitation. It made the knight nervous and she did her best to keep herself out of it, averting her gaze from the king and leaving the observing to her hearing, listening to each word said carefully. It seemed Seraphina was allowed to do whatever she wanted, her answer to the King's question being vague and still being accepted. It was baffling, in a matter of moments, without any fight or real curiosity, the King had given her to the sorceress. It was only then that she looked up, a bit of fear in her eyes as she looked at the woman who now essentially owned her. She began wondering more than ever what was going to be done to her, if perhaps the reason the King agreed was because it was something horrific, though she was hoping that was not the case, especially when he told the woman to keep Kira in line, that had to mean she wouldn't be killed or imprisoned again. However, as curious as she was she was also hesitant, not wanting to say much in the presence of the King and not wanting to push the sorceress too far, angering someone who was powerful and now officially her captor being a stupid thing indeed. The girl began to think about what had happened before she left on her mission, how she had dinner with her men and promised them that they would return victorious and feast together again. Then she thought about her parents, her sister, and even a few friends who hadn't been sent along with her for the invasion. They were all so far from her reach now, she was trapped and it was starting to feel hopeless even before she figured out the entirety of the situation. She did however saw something, just a bit but it was enough to get her worries across. So... What is going to happen now? Her voice was low, barely audible as she looked towards the woman but still not looking towards the King. She highly doubted it but there was a chance he would recognize her, as while they had never actually met they had been to some of the same events in the past and it would spell disaster if he found out as well.
