Thread: Endless War (Spyke LionxKayLove)

Haine was cautious, constantly eyeing the female warriors around him. He hated attention, and right now they were the focus point. As they were welcomed into the city, dozens of pairs of eyes were on them, watching them and staring at them as if they were foreign zoo animals. Of course, Ortega didn't mind it- he had been here before, and this was what he expected. Haine hated the stares, answering them with glares of his own, towering above every single amazon that was there. They were all warriors as he could tell, and many had their weapons on their hips or their backs, each of them either clothed in casual cloths or light armor that showed off skin. Soon enough, Haine and Ortega stepped off their horses, and the Black Knight cautiously handed the reins to a smiling stable girl. The amazons around them spoke in their native tongue and laughed amongst each other, and some even had the nerve to run up to Haine's side, observing his body, the way he walked, and although they couldn't see his body underneath, they could probably visualize his size. Resisting his urge to bat them away, Haine tried to calmly follow Ortega, his sword arm begging for its release. At her animal comment towards him, Haine silently snarled, stepping up behind the centurion. An arm whipped out, blocking Haine from his chest. What did I tell you? Ortega sighed, shaking his head. She was just teasing a little. Besides, you ARE a beast, Black Knight. With a chuckle, the commander slapped Haine on the shoulder and went on his way, the amazonian women laughing lightly to themselves. Biting back on his teeth, Haine followed reluctantly, his hands constantly clenching into fists. He had to admit, the city was something else. The entire city was connected, and although it wasn't the largest city, it was indeed the most unique and magnificent. He could spot training grounds near what looked like the barracks, among numerous houses, stables, and what looked like a large temple. Remember, let me do the talking. Ortega whispered to Haine, looking up at the knight with serious eyes. Unlike the men from the outside, they aren't intimidated by you, but fascinated. They'll be curious. If one touches me... Haine growled quietly back, his hands twitching at the thought. It won't come to that, I promise. Ortega responded, raising a hand. Now, shall we enter? They were brought to a large hall by Liza, who gave them a few words and pushed open the large doors. The smell of food quickly caught Haine's nose, and he had to focus to keep his mouth from watering. Whatever they were cooking, it smelled amazing. With the urge of the centurion, Ortega stepped inside with Haine right at his back, eyeing the hall left and right. Ah! Ortega smiled, shaking the hand of the regal, beautiful woman. Priestess Narsissa! It has been a long time. I'm sure we have much to discuss and catch up on, don't we? Haine stayed in the back, crossing his arms. Strangely, someone behind the priestess caught his eye. Her hair was a deep, dark red, reminding him of the color of blood while her strange, gold yet green eyes watched him, taking in his large body. He wasn't sure who she was, but there was certainly an aura about her that demanded that he not ignore her presence. She, like the priestess, also had a blade at her side, and he could tell that at a glance that she could use it. For some reason, just looking at her pissed him off. When the priestess asked about Haine, Ortega just smiled and glanced back at the Black Knight. Him? Well, it's a long story, but it's best to be discussed over dinner, so shall we? Ortega smiled. Haine continued to stare at the strange woman, eyeing her up and down. He couldn't help but feel that she was challenging him...
