[Center][h2][color=mediumpurple]Preparation for the Ball[/color][/h2][/center]

If the first day on Daka hadn't been a long one, the next day made sure to make its claim. Kol started Darius early for training, right before breakfast. This time, Darius avoided getting pummeled as badly as the previous day due to Malgormuun increasing his physical capabilities. Throughout the day, Darius remained friendly to Artemis despite what was said about her. He even carried her in his arms to help her get around since her ability to walk wasn't the best.

Then came the time to stand before Aklenroth, king of Avalia. He wanted to see Artemis for himself as well as introduce Darius to some of the prominent figures of his military. During this time, Aklenroth shrouded himself by wearing a cloak and employing a mysterious fog that provided more concealment around his figure. Darius was sure Artemis and Myra showed their aversion to the Lich King, while he stood firm.

One of those introduced was the tall and quiet General O'ner Faister, an undead who could change his form. Darius knew Myra wouldn't be a fan, so he kept his distance from him. Another was a large floating menacing demon known as Umber. Darius kept his distance from that guy too, because fuck that! Keeping his distance did limit the view of what Darius could only describe as an angel with black wings. Her name was Azriel, Umber's partner. They held no official rank and were simply referred to as Wraiths. Even if Umber was absent, the woman's amused grin was something to be wary of. Lastly, there was a red-headed light elf that was an outlier to the others in appearance, General Airdan Vasys in his radiant armor that resembled quality silver. He and Darius seemed to get along immediately as the man seemed excited to be helping Darius and his friends prepare for a ball that was supposed to have key players of the rebellion in attendance. Darius was informed that it was unlikely for any humans to show at the ball, but it was possible. Darius' job was to identify rebel figures using himself as a means to draw them out. He was also briefed on not giving away their allegiances or identities. 

Once that was over with, it wasn't Kol who was the babysitter, but Airdan. He was kind of a breath of fresh air compared to Kol, though Artemis still scowled at him from time to time due to him being an elf. Airdan took the group south in an amora to Moon Elf Village to meet with a tailor he knew of. The trip proved to be interesting for many reasons. People stared at Darius and Myra but kept their mouths shut as they were in Airdan's company. The most eventful moment was finding Myra something to wear, but in due time the group figured out what worked best for the demon. And despite Artemis' reluctance to leave Moon Elf Village, she chose to stick with Darius and Myra. The group spent time shopping in the village's market while waiting for the completion of their outfits and masks. Darius managed to purchase a memory glass and get a haircut before the group returned to Daka. Up until leaving for the ball, Airdan tried to instill as much knowledge on ball etiquette as he could as well as how to dance to the music that would be played at the ball. Aidan proved to be a great help and a real standup guy, even if it was all an act.

[Center][h2][color=mediumpurple]Day of the Ball[/color][/h2][/center]

[Color=mediumpurple]Time:[/color] 4 p.m.
[Color=mediumpurple]Location:[/color] Amora headed to Roshmi City
[Color=mediumpurple]Interaction:[/color] [@13org] Myra, [@Potter] Artemis

[Color=mediumpurple]"This day came around way too soon. I still need to get used to these ears."[/color] Darius tugged on his pointed ears a few times as he sat in the amora flying smoothly over Avalia. Everyone was dressed and ready to attend. All they needed to do was arrive and partake. 

[Color=darkorange]"Don't fret Darius. You are going to fair well if you follow my lead… Red irises, dark skin, and that sparky personality give you quite the exotic appeal. And with the precious Myra at your side, many may consider you a demon yourself. A demon couple with…"[/color] Airdan looked to Artemis. [Color=darkorange]"...their servant? It makes the most sense. That or a slave, but your beauty at this moment makes that seem unbelievable at best."[/color] Airdan was a flatterer. Humility was easy to play for an elf who had nearly all he could ever want.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Demon couple?"[/color] Darius looked at Myra with a questioning as if to ask if she was okay with it even though she might not have even completely understood Airdan's words. [Color=mediumpurple]"Want to be my date?"[/color] Darius presented both of his index fingers apart and then pushed them together. He wasn't sure if Myra would understand. He honestly didn't even know if Myra [i]could[/i] be intimate. She was intelligent, just… [color=mediumpurple][i]Tarzan and Jane made it work, so why couldn't we… No. Myra is my… I don't know. She's my friend so I shouldn't think like that, right?[/i][/color] For some reason, seeing her with her outfit on made him see her differently at the moment or maybe it was just Airdan's words getting to him.
