Hardly Serenity

The Captial of Arken, it is the darkest known city in the world. As it is the capital and the home to the Witch Queen herself, it is a very dangerous place to enter. Home to the toughest and roughest crooks around.

"I don't bargain anything," he said. He shook Eve off of his arm and stepped over to the guards. "You might want to hold your tongue, you useless worm."

Damien snatched the guards helmet, and held back his head. With his other hand, he ripped the man's tongue from his mouth. "Be careful who you call a bitch." He dropped him to the ground as the men screamed in agonizing pain.

Damien turned to the other guard. "Now I'll meet your king," his voice was calm as if nothing had happened. He went back to Mi's side and offered a hooked arm. "Shall we?"

With a smile Mi took his arm, and it was like take the arm of Darkness. She didn't mind, Darkness after all was her best friend. She walked with Damien as the fearful guards led the way to the golden palace a head. The townspeople moved away from them fearfully, and Mi liked it that way. Less people to bother her.

When they reached the palace servants led them to a large room that was made of collums. It was open, with no walls and sheer curtains hung from the banasters. The room was surrounded by a wrap around balcony. The floor was white and gold marble, and the curtains blood red. Towards the end of the long pillar room was a golden throne and upon it sat an older man, not old, but not quite as young as Damien or Mi. He had a turban of gold silk wrapped around his head and a red and gold uniform on. Clearly this kingdom was wealthy.

"Nice crib you got here," Damien said as he approached the king. A ten-man thick wall of soldiers quickly blocked his way. Damien took a couple of steps back and raised his hands. "No worries. I'm not going to try and kill anyone."

Thorn and Trydent stood back at the entrance with Eve and Ahriman.

"Maybe we should get your new boyfriend to come and talk to this fruit," Damien said quietly to Mi.

Mi looked at Ahriman, who nodded quickly.

Ahriman stepped forward. The King smiled once he saw his old friend. "Ahriman, what brings you with these people?"

"I have brought this man hear to travel through your kingdom. He wishes to raise an army to help the Queen of Arken...." Though this might not have been true, the King of Ballraba and the Queen of Arken were good friends.... Sometimes one needed to lie to get there way.

"Ah..." King Maharad said, smirking for a moment. "Anyone friend of the Queen is a friend of mine..." He moved past his guards and went to Damien. He held out a hand to the man.... "And any man wanting war with Ighten is a friend of mine..."

"My home is your home... and you my dine with me tonight before you begin your travels..."

Damien smirked at Ahriman, as the lie rolled of the dark man's tongue. Turning back to the king and taking his hand, "Why thank you sir," Damien said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Would you have a place where we could all get cleaned up?" He asked after a few compliments about the interior of the palace.

"Rooms are awaiting you. The servants will show you too them. You may wonder about my palace as you wish. I have nothing to hide... When it is time you will be called for dinner," the king said, patting Damien on the back.

They were shown to rooms, each there own... The doors were located down a long brightly lit hall with windows overlooking the city. Mi's was yet again right next to Damien's.

The king had made sure that all preperations were made and had the servants lay out clothes encase they were in need of them. All the clothes fit the traditional style of the Outerlands.

Mi stood in awe of the room which was made almost completely of gold leaf. There were no windows... only an opening in the wall which led to a balcony with a fountain on it. The bed was large, with four gold posts holding up white sheer curtains. The walls were decorated in intricate designs of gold and red. "Nice..." she muttered.

She stepped inside, closing the door behind her and wondered into the bathroom. Not noticing that her balcony was connected with Damien's... which meant that thay could come and go into each others room.

The bathroom too was elaborately decorated with gold... the tub large and circular and you had to step down to get inside since it was level with the floor. Hot steam filtered up into the air and it smelled of perfume. Red rose petals littered the surface and Mi couldn't help but smile. "I could get used to being treated as a queen..." she muttered.

She undressed quickly and stepped slowly and gracefully into the water. The tub was deeper than expected, even standing in it the water came to her shoulders.

The room was elegantly decorated and Damien quickly removed his shoes. He stepped out onto the patio overlooking the city. Water shimmered in the fountain in the balconies center. As he turned to go back in to his room, he saw an opening to another room. He couldn't help, but be nosy.

He saw Mi step down into the steaming bath. "You need some company?" he said provocatively. He walked over to the tub and knelt at its side.

Mi tunred her head to look over her smooth shoulder at him. Her icey eyes looked his face over and followed down to his bare feet. "Its hard to get clean if someone's distracting you from the task," Mi said with a smirk and sank down, disappearing under the bubbles and rose petals.

She reappeared, surfacing just before him, coming up head first and pushing the wet hair from her face. She was beautiful, that was hard to deny. Sometimes it could be a curse for those who looked upon her... sometimes it captivated them too much. Sometimes they couldn't control themselves... Sometimes it made them lose all rational thought.... Sometimes she liked it that way. Without rhyme or reason, with out thought or feeling... just one specific goal of intamacy.

A smile ran across Damien's face. "Oh... You'll be clean. I assure you." He said. "You didn't answer my question though." He held his eyes with hers.

Mi smiled and stepped back, swaying to the other side of the bathtub. "Only if you long to provide the company," she whispered, her eyes sparkling with devious intent. She slowly sank under the water and came back up. She hated water unless it was to take a bath... and then she loved it. However, her powers were useless to her now. Though, she didn't think she needed them now. Not at the moment.

"It would be my pleasure," Damien remarked pulling off his clothes. "And yours." He eased his bare body into the bath and crept to her side. He held her delicate face in his hands and kissed her passionate lips.

Mi smiled and placed her small hands on his shoulders, kissing him back. She brushed her hand against his cheek, totally unsure about why she was letting him touch her. She should be beating him off with a stick, forcing him away. After all he had been a complete and utter bastard to her. Yet, she couldn't fathom why she was letting him so close to her.... She wanted him, that was clear and evident... but completely illrational.

The time passed slowly as the two held each other. Before long a servant came into the room and saw them together. Damien sat next to Mi with his arm around her. Something always pulled him back to her, but he didn't know what. Maybe it was the power that dwelt within her. He didn't know, and didn't care. He just knew she rocked his world every time they were together.

"We'll be out in a few," Damien said. "Please just wait outside." He kissed Mi again as the maid girl turned and exited the room. "I guess we'd better be getting ready for dinner." he said in a brief moment his lips weren't attached to hers.

Mi dressed quickly after they had been summoned. Though clothes had been laid out for her she desired nothing more than to where the ones she had been wearing. They were clean, since she had gotten them from the ship.

Once again she was dressed in black pants with black knee high leather boots. a white blouse with a black corset that tied up the front. She had two small black leather wrist bands. Her shoulder length blond hair with the black streaks at the bottom had been brushed straight and her skin was so that it had no need for make-up. Around her waist was a black belt and attatched to it were three silver daggers. She was dressed to kill, and knowing Mi that term was literal.

"Shall we?" she asked, taking one of the daggers from her belt and sliding it into her boot. Just encase of course.

Damien nodded and winked as he pulled his shirt over his head. "You never do." he said with a grin.

He offered an escorting hand, "Shall we?"
