Thread: Lovely Wings (Jenivue Grimm and Mancave)

Kilika made sure to noted that they were experiencing raider problems. The name of the leader also burned into her memory. She nodded back to Tiberius when he said that he would tell her more later. She was determined now to try to get her winds back into the air. Raider's were something she had experience with. Her eyes were keen and her ability made it hard for one to outrun her. It was something she had done in their kingdom. She was good with sabotaging. After all, in the middle of the night, the sound and glimpse of feathers or wings didn't alert raiders. They dismissed it as a bird. Then came the young man. From the tone of Tiberius voice she found herself glancing briefly between the two with a kind smile. That smile however disappeared when he began speaking. Her eyes saw her sister huff up and stiffed in rage. Then he questioned how Tiberius could turn his back when she wasn't even human. Persephone opened her mouth to rage and walk to the man but Kilika immediately case aside the poncho type clothing that had limited her wings and rose it wide to block her sister and cover her mouth. Her sister glared at Kilika and whispered in a harsh tone,Kilika, let me go! However her older sibling was only replying back in a stern tone,Calm down. Yet her attention switched between her sister and how the situation was going. As soon as they engaged in combat she inwardly gasped but watched. She was mesmerized by how Tiberius fought. He went in at a disadvantage and defeated his foe. She snapped back when Tiberius spoke again to her. She turned her body to them and rose from the chair. Both wrists of her wings were brought up to ponder at her lips as her gaze somewhere to the side. Then she took a few tentative steps toward them. Her wings lowered below her chest as she stared into the man's eyes. He didn't want to die today and she didn't want to kill him. She saw that he most likely was acting out of kinship for Tiberius. Yet his words and actions were by far out of line. With a deep breath she began,I understand that you intentions might have been in earnest of Tiberius' well being. I fully believe that your thoughts were of his happiness alone possibly. You were honest and truthful. Yet it does not change the fact that you have disrespected me, which is as was said, against your laws. Your friend is king and he does what is best for the kingdom. His word is law and your have directly questioned him in this hall by coming here, disrespecting the one he has chosen... You need not fear for your live, But as the future High Lady, I cannot allow this to go unpunished. The punishment will be your rank. You may keep your riches if law permits but your rank is hereby forfeit. As you said, for years you have lived and built a kinship with Tiberius. For it to end here is a shame and I want to believe that you did not wish for this confrontation to end this bad... A warning from me. Her eyes narrowed as she harshly said,The next time will not end in life. Should this happen again, I will ask for your life. My kindness will not extend a second time. His words still stung her. Her feathers visibly ruffled in distaste at being called something so vile as a demon. Her sister also was barely keeping herself in control.
