There are no trees in side, and the feild goes on for miles and miles to come. The sun is closer to the west as it is now twilgiht and the sky is a beautiful mix of purples and blues as the stars shine like souls of loved one looking down.

Azmerelda walked outside and smiled.She was donning her practice attire, which consisted of a royal purple halter top, black bell bottoms and black heels. She looked around and nodded.She also carried her sword Closing her eyes she remembered what her mother told her during practice.'Take a deep breath, so that your voice can move with along with your dance. Your voice and your dance they must become one, where you go your voice follows.' She took a deep breath"Where I go my voice follows. She then started sing, then after awhile she started to include movements with her sword. Soon it looked like the sword was a part of her.
On a hill in the field stood a lone tree. It seemed to rise from the ground in magnificent fashion it's branches reaching to the sky each on littered with leaves. The rays of light seemed to dance through the gaps piercing to the soft long grass that lay below. At the base lay a man in black. His eyes were close and his body spread out. Was he sleeping? His breathing was slow and his eyes were closed, after an involuntary jolt the theory about was confirmed.
At least the man was until singing caused his eyes to crack open. "Oi oi, keep the singing to yerself." Surtr said loud enough for Azme to hear. He didn't sit up or look out so he didn't know who would doing the singing but if Azme came closer he would soon find out. After giving his command Surtr shimmied in the grass to resume his comfortable position before letting out a quite pleased sigh. He was obviously quite relaxed and even with the singing and sword cutting through the wind Surtr seemed to be able to get close to falling back asleep.

Allegra Kori no Tamashi
A Just War
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xavier would be coming back with Surtr from a trip to Narvakishi, Land of the Death Mages. Xavier wanted to go there get more attuned with his death magic and have better control. With his scorpion tail out and about, it would swish in the wind proudly. "They weren't bad people at all. I don't know why the old Queen outlawed Death Magic in the first place. " Xavier commented before his tail raised up and rattled, before flopping violently. They would soon come up across someone that, Xavier really didn't want to see. Looking, he would turn to where he thought Surtr was and notice he been talking to the air all this time. Instead, Surtr been dipped and was on a hill resting. Smirking, he would let the man be, but would go to him while flexing his tail. Practicing his tail to strike like a dagger. "Oh tail, I love you so much. Don't know how Azela would feel about you." Xavier stated moderately. When he picked up on Surtr acknowledging Azmelda's presence, he cringed and just thought. If you don't shut the hell up.
Azmerelda didn't realize she wasn't alone, until she heard someone comment" Conitnue singing to yourself." Meaning the person wasn't vampire. She turned her head while she spun to see who it was. Surtr, she chuckled and continued practicing, acting as if he wasn't there. However the song was almost finished. When it was finished. She ended in post that had her right let straight out behind her and on the toes on her left foot.
Since She was so focused on her practice. She didn't sense the second prescence till it was over. Two mages? She thought to herself"She said slowly put her leg her down and shealthed her sword. She then walked up to them and smiled "So do you always hide yourself till something makes it necessary (sp) for you to make it known?" She asked surtr So what do i owe the pleasure of both king and his royal advisor coming to visit me?"She said

As Xavier approached with his tail Surtr leapt to his feet fire bursting from them to launch him up into a branch. The grass would now be scorched and ashen. "Christ man... you're gonna run me through with that thing." Surtr said visibly in guard about that tail. Exoskeletons were no joke and with Xavier's power he doubted his fire would be able to stop a strike from that. Who knew what the poison in there would do. He hopped down from the tree his landing causing a small poof of ash for added dramatic flair.
Azmerelda approchaed and Surtr squinted a bit now realizing who he had been talking to. "I was napping here first. Waiting for the scorpion king over there to catch up." Surtr said teasing Xavier a bit. Likely the man would like the title and coin it, that was typically how their banter went. "Archmage..." Surtr said holding his hands up as if the words were forming in front of him. "Woman how many times must I said it. I am no advisor, I am the archmage." He said with a sigh before shaking his head. "Also we didn't visit you we were returning from a most fortuitous voyage." Surtr said winking to Xavier. The king was gifted with such horrific powers that much was true. Surtr had just come along to research and read up he himself had no ability for the discipline. Still he would give credit when it was due.
Xavier would laugh as he would let it swing naturally. "I wouldn't sting you Surtr... Well, maybe on two occasions. " he joked. He had no reason to hurt the man. Not yet anyways. Though, seeing him jump like a school girl, it did make his day. However, it soon was about to go south, his tail violently swinging again to the point Xavier re-positioned himself because it may actually sting Surtr accidentally. He would say nothing to the woman, he let Surtr say all the words for the initial introduction. Though, he wondered, how could she smile and just be so happy knowing the situation? He would have to silence his head. A certain voice was trying to get him to sting her. The scorpion within him wanted him to sting her good. But, he would be...complacent. He didn't have his soul gem on because how stressful and emotional the trip would be, he didn't need another incident of being called. Especially, how dangerous that magic was.
"Scorpion King...well hold on now. I think you just did something....I do like that name..." he replied before looking at Azme. He was going to address her but something had him, interested. "Ohh, how many times have you two actually met Surtr? I count only 1 time you told her this? Were there secret meetings I didn't know about?" Honestly, Xavier didn't give a s**t, but he wanted to give Surtr all the s**t in the world. He didn't know about their, previous meetings. And even if he was told, Xavier wasn't paying attention or cared enough to remember. "And you,.....Visiting you would be the last thing on my list to do...I have other things carry out my time with and women at my beckoning that needs Xavier time for me to waste it visiting a vampire....Plus, magic. There is magic too.." Adding in the trips Xavier tagged along with. He wasn't a fanatic for it, but he liked tagging along.
She looked at him "I wasn;t going to use my power, for something as simple as someone telling me, im trying to nap can you please move somewhere else." She told him while rolling her eyes "Ah I see, so an open feild just happens to be on your way home. right." She commented then looked at Xavier "Same here, but here we are." She said then chuckled at Surtr whining about what she called him " You honestly think I will be the only one to call you a royal advisor?"
She asked then turned to look back at Xavier "Also on that list of things you mentioned I didnt hear getting public sentiment on your side, as a newly installed king, that should be there, without it, your reign will be more arduous then it has to be." She said then added "I'm not saying this as a queen but as an oracle, as i have seen the many possible futures in store for your kingdom." She said "So since you were on your way home anyway,let me not hinder you any longer." She said as she stepped back as a gesture.
As Xavier seemed to like his new title Surtr shook his head. "Run with it.... doesn't make that tail any less creepy." Surtr said muttering the last part under his breathe. Azme seemed to tease him Surtr looked to her a rather phlegmatic look across her lips. "One who desires respect should show it first." Surtr said implying that how could anyone respect her as a queen when she refused to recognize his title. He was being a bit curt perhaps cranky from being woken from his sleep.
As Xavier mentioned them meeting before Surtr chuckled before shaking his head again. "I told you but per the norm you weren't listening...." Surtr said softly. It seemed he was stuck between two people who were intent on getting angry with each other. As she offered to let them leave Surtr looked to the 'Scorpion King' waiting to see his answer.
Xavier smirked. "Of course not. And thankyou" Xavier stated as he stepped by and would walk past her. Heading down the field he would walk to see that there was a conflict going on. Yelling and shouting off in distance as it seemed to be a battle going on between some refugees and a governmental power outside of the power 5. He would sigh. "Surtr, It seems there's an unintended conflict going on. We probably have to take the long way home or have to wait till it clears off. Either way, we not able to get away from here anytime soon." He would then sigh again and walk back over to Azme and Surtr. He had to deal with the vampire. "My Kigdom will be just fine thankyou.." Xavier scoffed and then would sit on the grass, stabbing the ground with his tail. "SO Surtr, explain to me again , these previous altercations with this one? Don't tell me you actually laid with her" he questioned.
She looked at Xavier with shock "So you would ignore the advise of an oracle?" She asked "Or is it because that oracle is me, that you take it lightly?" She finished then looked at Surtr "You are right, this title of yours is new, almost all titles like that would be included in the title of royal advisor, but you don't like being called that, I will stop." She told him "Also what happened between us if anything doesnt concern him" She said as she looked at Xavier

As Xavier explained the situation Surtr sighed before sitting down in the now ashen grass. The soil was soft and warm heated by his fire just moments ago. As Xavier requested a retelling of the events Surtr shook his head. "Should have listened the first time, maybe next time you'll pay more attention to my stories." Surtr said now laying down in the ash glancing over to Azmerelda. "Perhaps in your kingdom they do but the mage kingdom has its own independent customs. I would expect a queen of all people resist ASSuming things such as culture." Surtr said putting extra emphasis on a particular part of the word. He wasn't normally so testy but she had continued to push a button over and over so his curt manner would continue.
As she question Xavier Surtr seemed to nod softly. "I'd definitely say it is who the oracle is.." He said noting his kings natural distaste for Azme. Surtr began to move his arms and legs back and forth and after a few moments chuckled. "Ey, scorpion king.... Ash angel" Surtr said chuckling aloud as he said it. Such a silly frivolous thing and yet things like this entertained Surtr the most. If one looked down they would see Surtr was right in his statement there was an ash angel on the ground where he lay.
Xavier laughed. "I listen to them. Well, most of the time. Depends on the situation. Though, I don't remember Azme being in one of them.....OH WAIT, is she the vampire from your story that couldn't make you c**? Though, I will say, I can't blame you if you did sleep with her, She is by far the most beautiful of the queens. Heh, I must say, even Azela can't compete with you." Was he speaking truth? Chatting her up? Either or, his word s would flow as he made sure his weapon was secured on his right wrist. He wanted to make sure he had it ready. That conflict could boil over to them. Getting up, he would get up. "It's definitely the person, Though, I must be frank. Maybe my disgust and hatred with you is to keep me in check. Maybe its because I know I can't have you so I push you away. Maybe I do need do better." he continued, walking towards Azmerelda. He would put his hands behind his back. "Honestly, I just a prisoner of my emotions, having such a lusty girl in my presence, with all the assets and right features, and can't have nothing to say cause I know I'll get curved since she is married. But, I guess that's being childish. Guess with hands behind my back, I am a prisoner of my emotions This Mage and Vampire fued needs to cease. Lets Kiss and make up okay? Start of a better relationship, he would wrap an arm around Azme's waist and smirk. "So, lets get these relations back on track? So, will you do me the honors of giving me a kiss ?" he wondered. His blade posed, covered in magic like it normally did, feeding off of Xavier's apology and resting. He probably threw Surtr off. He probably threw everyone off. Was Xavier truly serious? Well, he was already about to make more bases with Azme then Azela if he was. His mind was numb, his pride swallowed. Was this a new Xavier? His hand with his blade attached tightened. Probably stressed from the words. Maybe, Xavier hating to be wrong. What would Surtr ? Would he be shocked? Did Surtr really know Xavier after all these years to know his intentions? Maybe..or Maybe not. Xavier was a sly dog. Unpredictable one too.
Azme looked at Surtr "You do realize not all royal advisors have the same duties or are even called advisors in some places right?" She asked him hoping she did, But then again. They weren't schooled in royal politics and goverment roles like she was, so maybe they didn't either way being call an advisor shouldn't be a bad thing. She then slowly looked at Xavier her eyes as wide as they could be, she was slowly turning red."What are you talking about nothing of the sort happened between me and your...archmage." She retorted "We just chatted, and then i let him learn out vampires, then we left that is it. if he told you otherwise he told you a fantasy of what he wished happened."
She then blushed at his comment "Thank you, King Xavier" She then heard what eh said cuz she couldn't listen as in pay attention. What he was saying it couldn't be true, She then felt his arms around her and sucked in a breath. She then leaned over low with her eyes closed like she was going to kiss "Ok a kiss of peace" She whispered close to his mouth. Then suddenly her eyes opened they were scarlet red indicating she had activated Mind Rolling. "So tell me xavier, how long have you wanted me in this way,hmm?" She asked her eyes still scarlet red "is that why you went for Azela because you couldn't have me?" She asked then slowly kissed him.
(actions done:Mind roll used to ask Xavier of his feelings and why he used Azela) Mind-Rolling: Through direct eye-contact if a vampire is new or through voice-tricks or sheer presence if one is an older master, a vampire can capture the mind of his target and hold them in a hypnotized state where they are not aware what is going on. This is a skilled art rather than a thing of brute power – elegance instead of strength. It is through mind-rolling that vampires can seem to disappear or move across large distances in an instant. Once more, animators, necromancers, sorcerers, and alpha lycanthropes have partial or full immunity to this ability.
Adolesence- can use voice tricks to hold the mind but it wears off after awhile and the victim is still aware of what is going on Young Adult - can use voice tricks and their prescence barely and the victim is confused Adult - can use voice tricks and their prescence and it works with both, but still better with voice tricks and the victim is confused and disoriented Elder.- can use voice tricks and their prescence however seeing how powerful they are their prescence is usually used and the victim is completely unaware of whats going on
As she refused to be wrong yet again despite ignorantly calavanting around like some all knowing being Surtr huffed before rising. "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wiseman knows himself to be a fool." Surtr said before leaping into the air and erupting up through it fire propelling him up high into the sky. It was ridiculous the audacity she had. How could she be so insistent on being right even when she was so clearly wrong? Surtr would hear no more of it and he would not bother with the bickering of children that would likely ensue. He wouldn't do anything. He would remove himself form the situation no longer able to stand the ignorance she was spewing out.
Once her was into the clouds the fire coming from his feet stopped and he began to float. His telekinesis would allow him to remain constant and up here where he could rid himself of her incessant words. Xavier was up to no good and that was for certain but he could handle himself, Surtr would not subject himself to that woman any longer and so in the sky he would remain awaiting until something drew him back down.
