Thread: Endless War (Spyke LionxKayLove)

Elegra paid little attention to the daggers that were being thrown at her from pircing blue eyes from across the table. Only smirking as the question had done it's job, to annoy the big lug. The other women in the hall chatted quietly among themselves glancing back and forth from their Priestess to the men all the while enjoying the food that was prepared. Elegra thought someone might as well enjoy the food because she felt as if the group at this table would not be eating very much. This whole experience caused her nerves to be put on end, with the everlasting scowl plastered on Haine's face to the looks that her people were passing back and forth. She thoroughly wished that she did not have to be there. The Priestess smiled softly as she glanced at her daughter and back at Ortega, Yes, that would be Elegra, she makes everyone proud here. One of the finest fighters as well as spiritually connected to the goddess. Mother... Elegra mumbled, she felt like she was 10 again and getting introduced. She rolled her golden eyes and continued to pick at her food, to interested in the conversation to really protest or eat for that matter. Narsissa ignored her daughters protest, Whatever you have to say Ortega can be said here, my people are to be trusted. she encouraged him as he went on, noting his serious tone. As he continued she nodded at his words, her fingertips tracing the rim of her wine glass. What Ortega said was true, their people had always had a problem finding strong willed men to suit their purposes. But at the mention of their forest her eyes darkened as well as lips tightened. The forest was theirs to protect and to guard from unwanted people since it did so much for them and their kind. This was something that the Priestess could not allow to happen. She allowed Ortega to finish his proposal and sat back in her chair for a moment glancing at Haine before speaking. Your proposal is a decent one, Ortega. she ran a hand through her white striped hair before folding them in her lap, My people do not need money, nor would we accept it. We provide for ourselves as you know. she pursed her lips, But what you have offered is far greater and needed than any of the other material proposals. She paused as she studied Haine, Would you stand for me Haine? the Priestess asked before she herself did as well, He has the unbending will of a mountain, stubborn one, and if his strength is as vast as you say than he would be a force to be trifled with... her eyes locked with his and seemed to be searching for something, something very deep that only she could see and dug deep down to the pit of his knighted soul there was rage there as well as courage and honor but most of all there was a passion for the battle that she hadn't seen before but she approved, You have brought a true warrior to us Ortega. as she said her last words she started to pace. Elegra often wondered how her mother knew these things but learned a long time ago not to ask for reason as to her thinking. When she looked upon him all she way was an arrogant man who was used to getting what he wanted. He looked at the world as if it were lesser than him and she couldn't care less what he thought about her but she knew it was nothing good. Her mother spoke again, I would want this deal, shall we call it, to be guaranteed by your King. That after this war is won that we are to receive the soldiers as soon as possible as well as a protection deed of out land, saying that they will also be protectors of our forests if an invasion shall ever come to be. she finally sat back down next to Elegra, I want it in the writing of the king with his seal. And with that I will allow my warriors to be a part of the war with your people. I will send back with you some of my best warriors as well to make a show of good faith and when the deal is done and the agreement final then I will send the rest of my people to anywhere your Kind desires immediately to assist in every way possible. Elegra listened intently but a frown appeared across her lips, Mother, how do we know that this man is so great? He should prove himself. To everyone. her arm swept around to the other women as she looked at Haien, See if he is equal to anyone here. I bet my little sister could knock him to the ground like nothing more than a sapling. I for one would love a show. she was doing this to ebb him on, see if she could make him snap, see if she could see the real warrior that was being held back so fiercely.
