Thread: Endless War (Spyke LionxKayLove)

Haine did know true beauty when he saw it. If any of the soldiers from the kingdom were here they would be absolutely drooling over the bodies of the amazon women. Each of them were incredibly beautiful, their skin fair and their hair looking as soft and vibrant as silk. Their looks were in a class of their own, and none of the women from back home could compare to them. Especially the red-headed amazon girl who had flashed Haine a smile as she passed him, taking a sit right next to her mother. Haine had to admit that if he were a lesser man, his heart may have swooped straight out of his chest, dropping right onto the floor. But it only pissed him off. Although the food smelled excellent and the amazons were holding a special celebration for them, he detested it. Haine was a warrior, he desired to be on the battlefield. He needed to feel his sword in his hands, the scent of blood filling his nostrils, not the smell of cooked pork on a plate in front of him. He didn't care if the kingdom needed these amazon warriors to fight for them- in fact, he didn't care much for the kingdom at all. He only needed to fight and grow stronger. At the redhead's remark of him being there, Haine quickly glared at the redhead, his icy blue eyes attempting to pierce right through her. Just hearing her voice and her presence was getting on his nerves... why couldn't this woman stay quiet and away like the others back at the kingdom? Normally, shooting them a look would shut them up, but it looks like these amazons weren't afraid of backing down. Ortega simply chuckled, cutting into a slab of meat on his plate. Ah, yes. Priestess, this must be your daughter I presume? She definitely has your fire. The older man chuckled, lightly nudging Haine with his elbow. He could sense that the larger man was growing more irritated by the second, and keeping the knight in check would become a little harder the more this would go on. Although I would rather discuss this more privately, now wouldn't be a bad time. Ortega stated, setting down his fork. Priestess, it has been a long time since we have called upon you for aide, but once again we must ask for your assistance. Ortega's face grew serious, and he folded his hands over each on the table. The war that we have been fighting for hundreds of years has finally broken its stalemate. The enemy Kingdom of Zarath has invaded our lands, and has already taken over precious settlements along the way. For some reason, they have managed to ally themselves with foreign nations, and we are unfamiliar with the weapons and tactics that they have brought with them. We have been getting pushed back with every battle, and soon the fighting will even reach here. I fear that even the Forest of Floria will not be safe from the enemy. Ortega's tone was low, his smile gone. And of course, we have not come here asking for one-sided aide. The kingdom is willing to pay you for the services we ask of you... and that is why Haine is here. Ortega glanced over at the Black Knight, nodding to his companion. Haine simply glared back, staying silent. We understand that your city has its needs. Supplies, food, perhaps land. But above all, we understand that your population is dwindling, and you are in need of strong children. The kingdom is willing to send over fine young soldiers to help your numbers situation. And Haine, the Black Knight of the king, is our strongest warrior. Ortega smiled a little, sending a little pat on the large man's back. Haine shot him another gaze, growling quietly. I have brought him here so you can take a look at himself, and I know you won't be disappointed. Even when I came here so many years ago, there was not a man like Haine around, especially one that could swing a sword that size as if it was nothing. Haine felt the eyes of the amazons upon him, his irritation almost reaching its peak. Well, why don't you take a closer look, priestess? Ortega asked with a smile. Tell me what you see.
