As the two of them walked to the dining room, Aviza talked quietly to Adrainne so no one else would hear what she was saying. [color=00aeef]“I have traveled all over this galaxy Adrainne and have never heard an accent like his. I am thinking it could be from some sort of daemonic influence like his wife? It would help explain a lot of what is going on around us. Now, Vastok told me something out on the floor during our dance that seemed to happen without me even noticing. He said that his wife means more to him than life itself, that he was surprised that she had allowed him to dance with me, and that she could turn the house inside out and set it on fire with a snap of her fingers. Turning inside out while on fire is not on the list of things I would ever like to happen to me so let us try and keep unnoticed. Once we are in the dining room, we should find a secluded area to sit and talk without being pestered.”[/color] Aviza now fell silent as they entered the grand dining room that had been exquisitely decorated, a feeling of magnificence filled the room once they set foot inside of it. Around sixteen large wooden tables had been set up, each covered in a beautiful white silk cloths. Upon them were gold and silver eating utensils with elaborately decorated ceramic plates. A candle sat in the middle of each table and gave off a purple flame of unimaginable heat. Aviza took a moment to admire the dining room before lightly grabbing Adrainnes left shoulder and motioning towards an empty table. Vastok and Zara seemed to appear out of thin air behind Aviza and Arainne before inviting them to their special table. [color=ed1c24]“My wife and I would like to extend an invitation for you two to join us at our table, only very important guests we value greatly get to join us at this table, so will you do us the honor?”[/color] Aviza felt her heart sink before looking over to Adrainne with a smile then back to Vastok who stood next to his wife who smirked at them as if she knew what they were thinking. [color=00aeef]“We would be honored to join both of you, thank you very much for the invitation.”[/color] Vastok with Zara by his side showed Adrainne and Aviza where to sit, it was a much better looking table than the rest and had a different menu from the others. Even the chairs were different, made to be more comfortable and to match the table. [color=00aeef]“Thank you both once more.”[/color] said Aviza before taking a seat and patting the chair next to her, waiting for Adrainne to take a seat as well. The menu in front of had a massive assortment of foods, some that she had never heard of and some that she could only afford on a blue moon. After going through all the food on the menu, she came to the page for drinks and found that they had the rarest, most expensive, and most valued drink in the the area or maybe even the galaxy. The drink only had a strange unintelligible symbol on its side for identification and that was it, though this simple bottle of alcohol held the same value or price as the power armor Aviza had hidden away nearby. [color=00aeef]“Do you actually have this drink ready to be served?”[/color] asked Aviza with a raised eyebrow, pointing at the symbol on the menu. Vastok nodded his head while Zara watched her reaction with a small smile. [color=00aeef]“Would it be alright if Elleynah and myself have a glass? If it is not too much to ask, I know all too well what this beverage is, the last time I had it was when I started military training.”[/color] Vastok snapped his fingers at a waiter who quickly walked over and nodded his at what Zara had pointed at on the menu before quickly walking off. [color=00aeef]“Thank you, I am almost in a state of shock that you two have this.”[/color] Aviza paused and set her hands in her lap, as Vastok started to talk to everyone at the table. [color=00aeef]“This man has no idea how much I hate him, wish he would shut up and let us order our food.”[/color] thought Aviza to herself as she looked around at the other six people at the table. Zara though, was looking right at her with an amused smile across her face. Aviza noticed this and glanced down at the table when a glass of water was placed in front of her. Lifting the glass to her lips, she took a small sip of its contents. [color=00aeef]“Why is she looking at me like that? makes me quite uncomfortable.” [/color]Thought Aviza to herself as the sly smile on Zara’s face only grew a bit more. [color=00aeef]“Oh shit, does she know telepathy as well?”[/color] thought Aviza to herself only a moment before Zara laughed a bit to herself, showing her razor sharp teeth in a full smile. [color=00aeef]“Yep, wonderful people we have here, great party with fantastic food and decorations, so very nice of them to invite us to dinner.”[/color] Aviza followed that thought by letting her mind go blank. Leaning over to Adrainne, she whispered so no one else could hear her talking and said [color=00aeef]“Zara know’s telepathy, watch yourself or we are going to have two grand psychers turning us into mulch for their deamons.”[/color] Aviza opened her menu and quickly started to take note on what kind of food she would like, trying to keep her mind focused on that alone. Suddenly, the waiter came over and Vastok ordered for both Adrainne and Aviza, commenting on it by saying [color=ed1c24]“Do no worry my ladies, I picked these foods out myself and I know which ones you will like to most.”[/color] There was a pause before Aviza replied. [color=00aeef]“My apologies and I do not wish to cross any lines but how would you know what we like when we have never met?”[/color] Vastok smiled and glanced over at his wife. [color=ed1c24]“She helps me with that.”[/color] Aviza was about to open her mouth but Vastok spoke once more, [color=ed1c24]“Do not worry, it is nothing malicious, just a little trick to make your visit more convenient and comfortable.”[/color] There was once again a long pause before Aviza responded, [color=00aeef]“Well I thank you for that, I guess you make a strong point.”[/color] The waiter returned with two glasses of the beverage Aviza had ordered and placed one down in front of Adrainne and Aviza before walking off once more. The contents of the glass glowed a soft blue, just as Aviza had remembered it, there was no smell but after taking a sip of its contents it proved to be the real thing, and just as good as she had remembered it. The room now had live music coming from a very talented group of musicians, and a moment later the food arrived at everyone’s table. [color=ed1c24]“Ah, took them long enough.”[/color] Said Vastok before standing up at the end of the table and tapped the side of his glass with a fork, causing a ring to sound through the dining room. [color=ed1c24]“Don’t worry, you will all be able to eat in just a moment but first I have a couple things to say. I would like to thank all of you for your dedication, your sacrifices, everything you have done to bring all of us to this point. Tonight is a celebration, a celebration towards the ultimate victory we are aiming for. With every day that passes we grow in strength, in power, and in size while right under our enemies. They work alongside us, fight with us, and die along us while having no idea what they are helping move forward. Stay strong and diligent my friends, for soon our master will arrive to greet us in person and bring her wonders to be shared with the entire world.”[/color] There was a massive applause before everyone turned back to their food, enjoying what they had ordered. [color=00aeef]“Well spoken my lord.”[/color] said Aviza before taking a bite of her food then setting the fork on the side of her plate. [color=ed1c24]“Well Solares and Elleynah… how is your dinner?”[/color] Aviza responded quickly, feeling slightly at unease as if being watched. [color=00aeef]“Who? Oh the food is fantastic, but I need to run to the restroom for a moment.”[/color] Aviza stood up only to grab onto Adrainnes left arm and lightly tug on it. [color=00aeef]“Elleynah, would you join me for a moment, I need some fresh air as well.” [/color] Music Playing: [url]https://youtu.be/bmELSgXpNRk[/url]
