Were i am from we live out in the wilderness..." he stopped talk for a moment "Well i should be leaving i see i have over stayed my welcome." he then moved his horse around the guards and threw he crowd he stopped when he saw a little girl she was sitting in the dirt obviously she had no parents he got off his horse and knelt down by her and pointed over to the Princess and Prince and spoke softly to her then handed her a pouch with some coins in it he stood up looking at the Princes then got back on his horse and rode to the city gates the gilr had the coins and was smiling as she walked to get food

Malik moved away from his brother. "Asalah, that's enough. Leave him. He's nothing more than a coward who ran away." The man told her pushing his wife away and towards her horse. "I will be king. My wife will be a queen and my son will be a prince. Cure will never have as much power as I will." He told his brother. He didn't want to see his face again. The man got back on his horse where his second wife was waiting. "Remember this. It's not Cure you have to worry about. He's wives will flee at the first sign of a fight."

Hearing his brother her stopped and turned his horse around a trotted back his jaw was clenched "I should have cut you down when i had the chance...I came here with other warriors to destroy the princes and their kingdom but Cure was there to save you i could have easyly killed you...You better watch you self now brother." he said as he glared at his brother "You are hardly a king and to call me a cowered, you hide that all your good at you hide behind your words I came here hoping to make friends with you and help my brother my true brother not half brother but blood brother." he said with truth in his voice "I just thought that maybe you could out of all people understand." he turned his horse around once more

Malik turned and started to ride away from his brother fuming that he would even show his face here again after abandoning him and his mother. He dare say he wasn't worthy to be a king. He wasn't Cure and he wasn't his father. He had a plan and he needed Cure alive for it. He knew he wasn't prefect, but if he kept Cure alive then the army would be fine, cure was a much better warrior, while Malik was much better with peace treaties and economic issues.

Lanikai watched the situation with her arms folded in a slightly interested manner. " I know you are upset right now but something tells me that should've gone differently." As she spoke the girl looked at Asalah and nodded a hello before looking towards the little girl that had ran off. She was one to notice the fine details of a situation, it was a skill she had learned in her days fighting on the streets with the commoners. It was odd but that was what brought her closer to the people. As she pressed her thumb to her lower lip Lanikai shut her eyes in thought for a moment. ' The leader who holds his cards close and lets the others kill each other wins out...' She thought before unconsciously whispering the rest of the sentence, " The leader who shows his cards to the world loses." As she realized what she had done the female laughed slightly. She had quoted her own father which was ironic on its own. As she waited to see what would happen but as Sire made a threat she stepped forward. " With all due respect give me a moment. I understand the words you speak." She looked back at Malik allowing the culture difference to show for a moment. " I will not throw around titles but as a human with blood in my veins listen to this, all three of you. I have seen people go to war among their own blood and there is nothing worse than that because when it is said and done there was no winner." She paused for a moment and took a breath so she could continue to speak calmly. " Now I emphasize I mean this with the utmost respect for all of you, but if you put power and ambition before blood it will tear you apart now, and then destroy you once more in the future." She stopped remembering his comment on those living in poverty. She then looked to Malik for a moment. " Don't let your anger cloud your better judgement. A soul can fight but without a clear mind it cannot fight well." As she spoke her mind the female looked at a pure white horse was pulled from the stables, it was a gift from her father to say good bye. " Now excuse me I have a few people I need to say goodbye to." Her tone changed to one that was upset as she snapped the reins of the horse that immediately jumped up onto its back legs before landing and running off into the heart of the city. Lanikai slowed down when the people grew dense her horse drawing some attention but she paid it no mind as a few vendors she saw on her daily outings came up. They said their goodbyes and left her with some apples and other fruits in a bag. In either case the girl was gone for about ten minutes before her horse was trotting up behind Malik and his first wife. She had a feeling they would respond but in all truths it would be fine in her culture.

Sire stopped this woman new how to speak. he turned to looked at his Malik "Brother i know what i did was wrong but i was scared honestly seeing what he tought Cure I may have been the oldest but i was sertently not the favored like father said 'I was to much of a boy and not enough of a man.' But brother please hear me out if you ever need us me and my people we will stand by you." he said getting off his horse and bowing to his brother like how hi people bowed to him putting one arm accros his chest and bowing to his brother then hoped back on "I didnt not come looking for a fight but for an alli." he spoke words of truth ."If you need warriors of stealth mine are the best in the land." he said with a smile hoping his brother would accept his offer, and accept him back as a brother

She had a feeling they would respond but in all truths it would be fine in her culture. "Hey, where did you go?" Asalah asked she turned when she heard the sound of hoove beats against the sand behind her. The girl, who she supposed was Malik's new wife seemed a bit strange to her running off just to say goodbye to a few commoners. It wasn't a bad thing to do, but they had a serious situation here with Malik's brother that needed attending. "I need to speak to you new wife of my husband when we get back." She said as she approached Lanikai on horseback and whispered to her. (I'm sorry if I get something wrong. I haven't posted here for a while so I'm a bit confused about what's happening in the story.)

((Pretty much Malik's biological older brother showed up and pissed him off))
It was clear that Malik had flumes coming out of his head. He was thinking of sharpening his knives and having target practice. and Lanikai wasn't helping. It didn't take them long to the palace and for him to disappear into his study. Leaving the woman to do as they pleased.

"I said goodbye to those who helped me up until my leaving." She commented as they showed up to the palace. Letting out a light sigh her eyes shifted towards the doorways. "Politics obviously not a strength you have." She snipped her arms folding as she began to walk away from Asalah. "You cannot fight with emotions only logic. " She spoke in such a manner that it was definite she knew what she was speaking about. "I have argued with people that have been graced with wisdom beyond age. Allies over enemies." She whispered stopping to lean in a doorway. "War is strategy and cunning. Not force of power."

She whispered stopping to lean in a doorway. "War is strategy and cunning. Not force of power." Asalah dismounted her horse and held onto the reins leading as she walked over to Lanikai. "You might be right that humans fight better with logic than emotions, but our Prince fights with emotions, so we must follow his lead until he can be taught differently by us. "He is not weak because of this and neither am I. Emotions are necessary to making good decisions as well. After all morality is just as much a part of it as one's choices." She felt a warm breath of air from her horse's nostrils descend upon the white veil she wore and whip it around. She reached back with her other hand and moved the back of her neck and the hair covering it.

"That is where you are wrong." Lanikai stated as she looked at the other woman quietly. "Wars and political situations are no place for emotion. It clouds judgment. Morality is separate from ethics. You do not have a 'war-morality' it is 'war-ethics' or 'ethics of war'." She paused for a moment her shoulders squared off as she stood properly. " Political Ethics." She stated in a serious tone, "I have seen political dealings in my fathers business and when the opposing targets drives emotions in they lose. They have no logic! O thánatos ti̱s logikí̱s prokaleítai apó to synaísthi̱ma!" Her tone was calm but serious as she spoke the term 'The death of logic is caused by emotion.' The female wrapped her fingers together behind her back. "It does not make him weak but it does cloud clear judgment. I will not stand idly by while he makes enemies that wish to be allies."

Asalah bowed her head in respect. This new wife seemed quite impressive. She had a great deal of intelligence on her shoulders. "I must apologize I may be the first wife who bore the son and daughter of Malik mere hours ago, but I am rather weak when it comes to 'matters of intelligence'. Please forgive me for I have embarrassed myself and you with my stupidity." She raised her head and stood up straight and tall. "Like I said before though I believe, there is a matter of dire urgency I must speak to you about if Malik has not already it is a woman to woman subject." She made sure to keep her voice very low because she did not want Malik or his brother speaking of their curse out in the open. It wasn't appropriate to shock her if something 'happened' between her and Malik within a few hours and reproduced the results Asalah had just faced.

"Forgive me for my rude approach to the subject I should've been kinder." She paused and listened to Asalah for a moment quietly. As she ushered the woman into a near by room she had seen from the corner of her eyes. "What is it you wish to tell me?" She whispered shutting the door behind them as she entered behind Asalah.

Asalah eyes moved towards the floor and she said, "You should beware of our new husband. He and all the male members in his family have a curse put on them. I recently became a wife of his a week ago and when I consummated our marriage for the first time today I was pregnant and soon had children within the next three hours. He says all pregnancies induced by him are different since the curse runs differently within the family, but you could have children immediately or never if you decide to have any with him at all." She looked up at the second wife of Malik and said, "I'm Princess Asalah, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself..." She then spread her arms out wide and bowed again to her new "friend".

"Asalah." She paused for a moment as she memorized the womans name and her appearance. It was odd but if there was anything there girl was good at it was intellect and hand to hand combat. She paused in thought of what the woman had said about pregnancy within Malik's family for a moment. It was unheard of in her lands. Perhaps the polytheistic beliefs were strong here and they had been blessed? Cursed? It didn't matter she was glad to have been informed ahead of time. "I understand and will have to contemplate the scientific cause behind it later." She returned a short bow. " Thank you for the warning."
