The lifelessness of the hallways only fed into the annoyance that screwed the defined jaw of the woman into a tight clench. The black attire she wore clung to her taut body as her hair played in the air as she quickly made her way down the hallway. The faint sound of giggling had her eyes darkening to black, a sinister shadow casting over her feature and she became more dangerous and inhuman in appearance as she stopped, for but a moment, before a pair of closed heavy wooden doors. Without a second of hesitation the once closed doors flew open in splintered pieces as the occupants in the bed gave their own sounds of surprise as they scrambled to cover themselves. Stalking forward towards a smug, handsome man she stopped at the edge of the bed her blackened eyes glued on the fiery amber ones that taunted her. [color=firebrick]“Fancy seeing you here. Can I assume you’ve come to join in on the party, Nasrin?”[/color] [b]“Did you just say N-Nasrin?”[/b] One of the women squeaked as she looked over the inhuman female before her. [color=Mediumvioletred]“Get out.”[/color] The demand was clear and immediately snapped the two women into motion as they jetted off the bed as if it had suddenly become burning hot. Not a word was shared between the smug male and Nasrin as the two women issued useless apologies on their exit. Only once the door closed did either of the two spur into action. A draw of a breath was enough time for Nasrin to have the male pressed against the headboard of the bed her sharp nails drawing beads of blood as her face came dangerously close to his. [color=Mediumvioletred]“Azrael, tell me one reason I shouldn’t kill you here and now?”[/color] [color=firebrick]“Kill me and you lose your only chance of controlling the forces. We’ve yet to see what this “King” has to offer, while you waste your time fucking him we have fought his battles, you have negotiated and led him this far, your subordinance makes you look weak.”[/color] Nasrin squeezed her hand digging her nails deeper into his neck for a moment before releasing her hold,[color=Mediumvioletred] ”Remember this time, and remind the men, I can kill you all at a moment’s notice. Continue to doubt me and be sent back to the depths of hell, continue to disobey me and I will have you begging for hell. I asked for a report on the encampment East of here to be ready when I returned, and yet here am I seeking you out. Within the day you [b]will[/b] gather your officers in the war room and present the report before your King and I. Also, accompany those pests who were frolicking uselessly in here to the courtyard, I will allow you to disrespect me just this once, but never shall any of these [b]breeders[/b] even [i]breathe[/i] out of their place before me, muchless in the home of their King.”[/color] [center] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/97873a9cb0a11dd757cf5ef5028370ff/tumblr_nu35d44Uw81u0b1dxo4_540.gif[/img] [/center] With the fire of her anger mostly extinguished an irritated sigh left her plump lips, running a hand through her hair and shaking it out she headed towards her new destination. An eagerness swept through her as the dearly commanding voice, though muffled, boomed through the central halls. Nasrin had been absent from the “palace” for a month tending to some…[i]hellish[/i] business, and had only kept up with business in the mortal realm through a familiar. Nearer she drew as the voice of another dared rival the volume of her [s]beloved[/s], it seemed her absence from the “palace” allowed these [u]idiots[/u] time to find a spine. [i]Ahh.. how she loved ripping out the spines of fools.[/i] [color=Mediumvioletred]”Infinitus est numerus stultorum.”[/color]* Her velvety voice spread throughout the tense room as all eyes turned on to her. Waving a dismissive hand to the lesser demons who visibly relaxed and offered their bows of respect, her darkening eyes glued onto the mortal man who had not yet turned to face the woman stalking towards him. The scent of hell ash and gunpowder was pungent and easily identified the stout pest, instantly killing him was out of the question but punishment was not. The pupils of her eyes grew to fill them in its inky black appearance, and her skin turned an inhuman red color as she spoke in an otherworldly, echoing voice,[color=Mediumvioletred]”Kneel.”[/color] the command reverberated in the throne room as all the mortals and lesser demons quickly fell to their knees, the few higherborn demons shuffled uncomfortably as they backed away to the comfort of the perimeters of the room. Nasrin’s eyes flickered around the room before landing upon the [s] pawn[/s] man she had pledged her loyalty to. [color=Mediumvioletred] “If not for the mercy and ultimate guidance of your king, you insects would have already been erased from this land.”[/color] Removing her eyes from Gabriel she turned around to face the human glaring up at her, his persistence, and unwavering courage had a sinful smile spreading across her face,[color=Mediumvioletred] “It seems you wish to only tempt me..”[/color] her voice had shifted into a sultry tone as the suffocating presence sweeped out of the room. Nasrin’s foot struck with an experienced calculation as the definite sound of breaking bone filled the room, the anger in the man’s face quickly turned to pain as he cradle his limp hanging arm. A satisfied sigh exit her lips, a flicker of pleasure playing in her eyes as she turned around and bounded the stairs,[color=mediumvioletred]”All of you leave us, bring this fool to the healers, fetch his wife and have them ready for me later on.”[/color] Once the room was cleared and the heavy doors closed shut Nasrin’s composure relaxed, a real smile appearing on her lips as she slowly circled around the occupied throne,[color=Mediumvioletred] “Was it your goal to have me return to such a mess? Azrael is frolicking in the sheets with humans instead of tending to his duties, the lesser demons and the help are nowhere in sight as much is requiring attention, and you have subjects bold enough to shout at [b]you[/b] in [b]your[/b] throne room.”[/color] Nasrin’s tone had shifted from amused to irritated as she stopped in front of Gabe her hand on his throat tilting his face up, and her face mere inches from him,[color=Mediumvioletred] “Did all of my advising and teachings go to waste,[i]Gabriel[/i]?”[/color] [center] [img]https://pa1.narvii.com/6612/ec31b0dfabdbc26e5ddab94236bcccdd8003d7e8_hq.gif[/img] [/center]
