Narmer chuckled, "If she wants to have her fun, I would let her be. I suppose you may stop her, however, as it is your child she is torturing. Akina, up. I think it's time we retire."

Akina basically ignored Ninak, pressing her claws even deeper into her spine until she passed out from the pain. Standing up upon command, she used a single hand to push Ninak away from her. As soon as his arms released her, she walked towards Narmer, still tightly wrapped in the blanket.
Ninak stumbled back a step, obviously surprised from the strength she possesed. It must have been her blood. Something about ancient blood that posseses so much power. Recovering easily, he bent down to carefully pick up his unconscious child. Without another word, he left for the infimary as fast as he could.

A slight crackle to announce his presence, knowing better than to startle this person, S appeared on bended knee behind Narmer. "I'm sorry, Pharaoh, for my extended absence. There were things that I had to attend to and I was wondering if there were any further directives for myself..." The last word was weak as the scent of blood hit his nose. What happened here? The images, unwanted but supplied anyways by his Lord, horrified him and he shut his eyes, but that didn't help either.

Narmer put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her cheek, "Enjoy yourself?" he asked, turning to guide her back to their bedroom. He stopped when he heard a crackle, turning his head to see S behind him.
"There is nothing to apologize for, I have not needed you." Narmer said simply, turning to face S fully, "Further directives? I was under the impression that you could not aid us in battle, as your Lord ordered. Your aid would mean our definate victory."
[ >D He could face Wenda. ]

Smiling in apology, S nodded, knowing that everything he did for this man was completely fake. "Sadly, there are some contingencies that must be followed. My Lord, while certainly powerful enough to destroy this entire city and more, is restricted from doing so. There are....rules to this game that must be followed. No direct interference in terms of power. Minor things may be accomplished through the use of others, such as myself, but no major shifts. I indeed have the power to destroy the entire Babylon, but upon accepting this power, I forfeited the right to use it in that manner. That is why I am simply here as an adviser and nothing more, for information cannot be construed as interference.
At least," The smile turned predatory and he immediately hated it. His Lord was making him act like this, "According to the rules."

"I guess," She whispered, wishing she could have at least apologized before she commited her atrocities. Wincing when he kissed her cheek, she realized her usually white skin was bruished to a blue-ish hint. Noticing the welt on her face, she immediately healed it. "I'm just curious why you hit me. Sure, I was in the way... But," Sighing, she shook her head, deciding against voicing her thoughts.

Narmer chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest once more, "According to the rules..." he echoed, "Although information is everything. Thankfully, there is little regarding my sister that I do not already know. She will die, as will all of her children, and it will be done by my hands," he shrugged, "Unless you have a suggestion, a way to... divide and conquor? Her numbers are what concern me, nothing more."
[Edit]
He turned to Akina with an apologetic gaze, "I was already in the motion, and rather... surprised when you tried to intercede. As well, frusturated that you tried to stop it. It was a rather useless gesture, I dislike twisted loyalties."

"Old loyalties..." She sighed, knowing that was all it was. "Pure instinct, I think. I'm so used to protecting them... And, when I started having my fun with her, I finally realized how much I have changed. I actually enjoyed torturing my old sister." At the edges of her frown, a small smile could be seen in the making.

S turned his gaze in an abstract manner while he thought or, rather, while his Lord thought. The time for this wasn't long at all before he glanced up once more, "I doubt that she will part with anyone easily at this point of time. She knows that you are coming and is not likely to even let nay of her children out for a simple stroll. But their numbers should not be a worry to one such as you, Pharaoh, or to your own children. Maren knows that her chances are slim to none to begin with, favoring more towards none. Without some outside, unseen interference, the Babylon will burn. You should not conflict your mind with any worry or concern. You are perfect, Pharaoh, and cannot be defeated. There is no doubt in your absolute victory." He bowed his head lower, only a foot away from the ground, an act of great spinal flexibility, for he was still on one knee.

Narmer smiled, brushing her hair away and kissing her cheek. He brought up one of her hands, holding gently and giving the bloodied claw a little lick.
"That's my girl," he grinned, "You learn quickly, I am quite pleased."
[Edited]
Narmer looked at S out of the corner of his eye as he kissed the top of Akina's head, black hair falling in a mess around his face. He brought his lips back a centimeter, "I am pleased by this news, S. Very pleased. If your Lord allows, after this is over, you may stay as my Royal Adviser. I think you would be well suited to the job, wouldn't you agree?" he chuckled, wrapping his arms around Akina's shoulders and pulling her into his frigid embrace.

The shock and surprise at the offer was evident on his face, but the absolute disgust stayed perfectly hidden. S looked at the ground for a moment before looking up again, his heart continuing to break, "You offer me so much, Pharaoh. It would be an understatement to say that I am stunned. Yes, Pharaoh, I will accept with my most humble of thanks. It would be an honor to serve you!" He bowed his head again, his body shaking. But this could easily be construed as excitement and not as the horror that enclosed him.

In many ways, Akina found herself wanting to be as Narmer was. Feared, hated perhaps, and powerful. The fear would be able to substain her instincts. The strength would allow her a better ability to protect herself. Even the hatred could fuel certain aspects of her self-esteem. All of it circles. With power, you are feared by most, and hated by others. If you are hated, you must have power, and will be feared by your enemies.
Sighing, she relaxed in his arms. A few hours ago, his superior cold body would have sent chills down her body. Now, as her luminescent pink eyes watched the lycan with a smile, she wondered if she had gotten colder, for now his body no longer bothered her.
Deep within her mind, she counted every breath she had to waste without Alluvian. Every though she whispered in the vast silence of her mind that he could not hear. Even as she did not show it, she looked forward to the day Alluvian woke. Though in her dreams, she constantly stumbled upon ways to try to apologize and explain everything that happened. If he happened to not completely hate her, he would be unbelievably angry at Narmer.

Narmer smiled, "You are a pleasure to have around, S. Please, make yourself comfortable in my new Palace. You will find yourself at no discomfort here. It is only a shame that I can not pay your Lord the same respects, but tell him he has my gratitude. If he needs a favor in the future, I would be happy to accomodate his needs, as long as our eventual goal is the same."

S began to nod, when he paused, his body going rigid, "You want to what?" he said out loud, his eyes glazing over, "But then...I see...alright..." There was an uneasiness in his tone as he straightened up into a standing position, uncomfortable. His body went completely rigid, this time it was clearly from locked muscles. A chime sounded and dark red filled in, pushing out the green in S's eyes. The procedure took a matter of seconds before the body relaxed. "It is nice that we finally get to meet, Pharaoh Narmer. I'm afraid it is impossible for us to meet face-to-face, but this body is a good medium. I can assure you that our goals will ever be the same if you continue with your plan after destroying Maren's household. Destruction of this technological society and imposing your own rule upon it would be quite amusing to me and would tilt the game in my favor. My envoy will be useful to you in the years to come. There is no need to wish you luck, for your victory is assured. Instead, I wish you speed, so that your dreams may be created that much sooner."
There was a choking, gasping sound and S collapsed, the rest disappearing form his eyes. Green blinked and he took a deep breath, tasting something foul in his throat. Possession of that sort was not fun at all. He placed one hand on the ground to help himself rise, but his legs nearly collapsed beneath him, the muscles still rigid from his locked manner. staying on his knees, he tried to acclimatise his body.

Shifting her body the smallest amount, she turned just enough to wrap her arms around his middle. Her cheek pressed gently against his chest, listening to the subdued breathing of an ancient. An ancient whose blood flows through her very veins. Blood that tasted amazing.
When she heard the voice, that was clearly different to S's. Only a differene she could tell, though. Her arms tightened around him, as she nuzzled her nose into his collarbone, clearly fearing the Lord of S.
