Chapter 4: The King
we walked down a street made of stone. people stepped aside in awe as they saw the kings guard captian on Anna's shoulders. whispers filled the street.
"Isn't that Isiah the kings guard captain? someone actually defeated him?" they said
i noticed that there wasn't just humans here. i saw beast people, elves, dwarves, orcs, lamias, and even a gaint. this world kept shocking me. i knew i had asked for a world filled with fantasy but it seems god really out did himself with this world. The guard looked nervous as he led us through the streets. a large castle loomed in front of us. three more guards were guarding the gate to the castle.
"What's the meaning of this? Is that Isiah? Why is he all banged up?" The three all asked.
"Keep your hands away from your blades lads we are here to see the king." The guard who had been leading us said looking back at me.
the three looked confused but let us through. The steps to the castles entrance were marble line with gold. large oak doors with steel handles stood in front of us. the guard pushed the doors open and led us up a set of red carpeted stairs. Soon we were in the throne room. The king sat with a nonplused look on his face.
"Can I ask what the meaning of this is?" He asked looking bored.
"Anna my dear, if you would please." I said with a smile.
She threw Isiah to the ground. he groaned a little then went silent again.
"Why does my guard look like that? Who are you?" The king bellowed.
with a small bow I said, "My name is Damian. the reason why your guard captain looks the way he does is only of his own doing sadly. I am not one to draw a sword at. his men paid the price of his indecency. how shall you respond oh dear king?" I asked with a nasty smile.
The king looked like he had been slapped. the look of shock on his face told me everything. not a soul had the courage to talk to him in such a manner, but what did I have to fear? he couldn't do anything to make me afraid.
"What are you..? there's something inhuman about you!" the king exclaimed.
I heard a noise to my left and saw a woman clad in armor rushing me. it was to late to dodge as she drove a sword into my chest. I grunted as a sharp pain echoed throughout my body.
"That was rude." ui sputtered grabbing her blade.
i pulled her blade deeper into my chest. her face fell into dismay.
"M'lord!" Anna excalimed bracing herself for action.
i waved her down as i grabbed the womans arm and pulled her closer to me. her face close to mine.
"What is your name maiden?" i asked.
Her face turned to a deep red as she answered.
"They call me Lucia."
i studied her. her deep green eyes seemed sharp, her blonde hair fell from under her helm. she was curvy in the right places and a tad bit shorter then i was.
"Lucia im going to pull this sword from my chest and your going to behave is that understood?" i said looking into her eyes.
She nodded and released her grip on her sword. i let her go and she backed away. i pulled the sword from my chest, revealing a hole where it was. shortly after it began to heal.
"Well king your not wrong about me being a bit inhuman. However what i am is beyond your understanding. so lets put it this way, i am a friend to have and an enemy from your darkest nightmares. which one do you desire to be?" i asked looking at him.
his chin trembledand his dark steel eyes showed fear. this world might be used to every other bit of fantasy but i was something new, something they couldnt understand.
"Seeing as you just disarmed the best of my personal guard i would rather be a friend to you and your servant." He with a bowed head.
"Good choice cause i rather aviod conflict its her thats a battle junkie." I said pointing to Anna.
"M'lord!!" she exclaimed blushing.
i laughed. looking at the king you could tell that he was an old warrior. large build with arms like trees. his long grey hair sat neatly on his head. his hand stroked his long grey beard.
"My name is Derrius. i am king of Treinty. i apologize for my guards misconduct. both are yours to punish as you see fit. i will also allow you to stay here in my castle." He said standing up walking towards me.
"I am Damian as i said and this is my battle maid Anna. this one has already been punished, i humbly as that Lucia joins Anna in my service. in return i offer my service to this kingdom." I Replied.
The king held out his hand, i took it and we shook it.
"M'lord i apologize for stabbing you in the chest. please strike me down!" Lucia said kneeling holding out her sword.
"Why cut down a capable warrior when she could fight along side me in the future? Why waste a life in such a manner." i replied looking down at her.
She looked up at me with tear filled eyes. she nodded and stood wiping her eyes. she bowed and stood by Anna.
"Lucia take them to their quarters please. i will have the cooks begin a feast of the likes you have never seen before!" the king clapped me on the back with a smile.
lucia bowed and led us down a hallway. she turned towards a large door and opened it. the room was huge, drapped in silks and comfort. the bed was the biggest i had ever seen.
"M'lord what is your plans with helping this lowly king?" Anna asked.
Lucia seemed shocked at her description of the king.
"This king isnt lowly, Derrius's holdings are second only to the emporer of these lands!" She exclaimed.
i pointed at lucia as response to what Anna asked. She looked at me confused and sighed.
"Things wont be boring right?" she asked.
"Have they so far?" i replied.
she laughed. lucia looked at her like she was a mad woman.
"Lucia let me tell you something since you are now in my service. i can not die. no force in this world can extinguish my flame. if anything all attempts make it burn even brighter." i looked at her for a response.
her eyes were wide in shock.
"So Thats what the king ment by inhuman?" she quietly asked.
i shrugged. suddenly a knock at the door. Lucia moved to answer it. a Maid stood with a set of clothes for everyone. she handed me a bright blue velvet and silk get up. the color was lined with gold and had a ruffle.
"This is really smooth looking." i mumbled.
Anna recieved a pure white gown that clung to her hips and revealed her cleavage. the gown itself seemed to glow around her. while Lucia recieved a dark red gown. she hurried of to change.
"I dont know why she didnt change here?" Anna mumbled.
"Not all woman are as comfortable in their own skin as you are my dear Anna, or having a man watch them change. By the way never pegged you as a pink panty kinda girl. would guessed white." I said with a laugh.
"I have no response to that." she said with a blush.
this feast had me excited. i couldnt wait for some decent food.
