His eyes adjusted to the morning light now protruding through the window
of Kyliska's bedchambers. Andissiel turned to Kyliska's side of the bed
only to discover she had already awoken and left. It was no surprise to
him to find her already gone. The last few weeks she had been acting
strange, as if something was on her mind but she did not want to speak
of it. Whatever it was, he knew she would come to him in the end
explaining her odd behavior. He arose from bed and walked over to the
window to look outside. The sun hung in in the sky like a yellow orb
hovering over the city. A large shadow protruding from Sunfury Spire
cast itself over Murder Row, causing it to look ever more devious from
Dayfire Spire. His eyes continued to scan the ground until he saw his
love, Kyliska.
Kyliska had been walking with her sister Biara in the Court of the Sun.
Both women seemed to be engrossed into a heavy discussion. Moments
passed and the two sisters hugged and parted ways as Biara began to walk
towards Sunfury Spire and Kyliska returning to Dayfire Spire. Andissiel
turned away from the window and dressed himself . Whatever it was that
was bothering her he would do his best to be at her side showing
support. He grabbed some flowers out of a vase in the room and left to
meet Kyliska in the main entry of the spire. Upon walking down the long
stone hallways of the spire he passed many of the guards who all seemed
to eye him cautiously. Who could blame them? He thought to himself. His
life was turned inside out and he knew he gave no one any reason to
trust him..only Kyliska did.
As he turned the corner into the main entry hall his eyes caught wind of
Kyliska, just not entering the room. He observed the fact that she was
not wearing her armor, something out of the ordinary for her. Instead
she wore a luxurious red silken dress with yellow trim. Her hair blond
hair relaxed on her shoulders as it caught the last bit of sunlight
before she entered the room. Andissiel walked up to her with the flowers
from the room behind his back. He knew it would prove a humorous
gesture if not at all sweet considering she would know where the flowers
came from. He watched as Kyliska spotted him and a smile quickly
formed. She walked up before him and looked at him as he brought the
flowers from his back to the front of him. Kyliska paused for a moment,
but began to laugh as she had already recognized where the flowers had
come from. "Aww, that is sweet. Thank you my love." as she leaned in for
a kiss. He smiled as the two met each others lips. "Now what flowers
are you going to bring me to replace the ones you took from the vase?"
she said playfully. He continued to smile at her. Andissiel thought for a
moment on where to take Kyliska to take her mind off of whatever it was
that was bothering her just as his eyes caught a glimpse of a Sin'Dorei
man at the entry way into the spire.
Andissiel immediately noticed the man standing before him. Hauk
Fenshire. The Sin'Dorei hunter was clearly agitated by the facial
expression he made as he noticed Kyliska and Andissiel embrace one
another. "I knew I smelt the filth of a Kaldorei nearby...." Fenshire
said as the anger in his eyes grew. Andissiel watched Kyliska turn from
him and back to Fenshire. "Hauk...?" she said softly, still surprised to
see him. Fenshire turned his back and had already begun to walk away.
Andissiel was glad to see him leave but in the same time...he wished
they could be friends. The hunter knew so much that Andissiel did not.
Kyliska looked up to him with eyes saddening. "Go to him...I will not
mind my love. He is your friend and if he wishes to speak to you without
me then I shall not intrude." Kyliska silently nodded and turned to
call out for Hauk, whom already was out of sight. Andissiel watched
Kyliska disappear from his sight and alone he stood. He stood in silence
thinking to himself. Did Fenshire have feelings for Kyliska or did he
simply wish to make his life as miserable as possible? " Andissiel
looked down at his bow in which his hands now tightly gripped. "We have
withstood death itself...whatever the reason that hunter has Kyliska
will always be love me. " Andissiel left the spire and whistled once he
walked into the sunlight. His faithful and loyal companion, Duststalker
ran up to him from the spire stables. The two ventured off into Eversong
Woods.
It had been no more than five minutes after Saldoria had disappeared that Sirian would appear out of nowhere opposite of the side Saldoria had vanished from. He wore the mask that he was always seen wearing, his own green eyes looking down to Kyliska, but there was a slight change in those eyes, they were not green as emeralds, perhaps as jade. With a gentle caress he would stroke Kyliska's cheek] " You are quite warm my love, it is now that I confess something most profuse. You are just a fling, a toy, you could never have me. Many lives I have taken with my wife, and you are just another on the list."[/i] he chuckles reflecting on the memory's of his victims. " It is here and now that you should also know....I'm a father. Saldoria will be giving birth to our offspring and that child itself . " Sirian would make his way around the bed, pocketing a few items from the Vanity . " Such simple designs, such narrow views. Its a pity you actually thought I could want anything to do with you. After all this is just a job. "
There would be a illumination in the room, casting shadows all over, the source itself seeming to come from just outside the window . " What the fel?" dropping what he would have pocketed he heads over to the window putting his hands on the handle to open the doors when suddenly the window itself explodes inwards, a figure of sorts crashing through and tackling the body of Sirian. It was hard to distinguish what the body or who the body belonged to now since the light faded just as quickly as it appeared. The bed itself would shake, as the two body's struggle, the sound of something metal being slammed echos in the room momentarily and then a thud.
Sirian would rise up from beside the bed, he would place his hand over Kyliskas head feeling the sweat forming " Hmm, Kyliska Can you say anything?" not getting any initial response Sirian tips a metal finger into a small vial that hung from his belt pouch. He allows his finger to be coated in the substance in the vial then proceeds to nick the back of her hand with that same finger. " I believe that small amount should-" and suddenly the room illuminated itself again, by some magical means. Sirian was be standing there, still touching the back of Kyliska's hand, but now it seemed Sirian was standing behind Sirian?! How could this be? More so one version of Sirian had a blade at the neck of the one standing next to Kyliska.
" Hello Beloved. Have you come to say goodbye to the harlot? I must say you must certainly be desperate to sleep with this one. If my dog had a face like her's I'd shave his rear and teach him to walk backwards" the figure of the second Sirian would snicker, but somehow his voice was not his own. It seemed unstable,.
“ Hello there Sal, its been much too long since we have seen one another.” Sirians body would begin to grow , changing color and shape. The sudden change catches the odd Sirian off guard and steps back only to get a back hand to the face knocking him down. The blow was a heavy blow, knocking her senses back into her. “ You could never hold your disguise as well as I did Saldoria.” Saldoria had lost her focus , her body shifting back to her own shape and size. She rubs her cheek grinning to Sirian before lunging at him with her Dagger aimed for his throat. A slash to his throat would end this , the blade cutting through the air only meets his arm which somehow deflects the blow. Her eyes widen in shock not understanding how that could happen but now was not the time to question it, she immediately dives to the side avoiding the fist aimed to her face. Sirians fist connects with the stone wall , making a small crater into it , with the momentum on his side he spins , throwing another fist to her which she aptly dodges by arching backwards and flipping away landing a few feet away from Sirian. “ My, my, that’s quite a swing you have there beloved. I surely thought I took your arm” she cackles pointing to the bed where Kyliska lay. Sirian could not help but turn his gaze to spot the familiar missing appendage.
This was all the distraction Saldoria needed, while Sirian was observing the decaying arm that once belonged to him , she licked her lips, making sure the toxins had not dried completely. “ Sirian my beloved I only wanted her dead so I could make amends.” her daggers are sheathed, running her hands up along her side to expose the body Sirian once had access to on long passionate nights. “ mmmmh, I’ve missed everything about you Sirian, you’re touch. The warmth, our love.” this would call his attention, giving her a surprised look . Pulling his mask off Sirian exposes the face he always hid from the world. The battle scar his wife had given him running along the right side of his face now having healed but without magical means. “ You mean this Sal? I do not know what got into you but suddenly your trying to kill me.” he throws the mask aside letting it land on the floor.
The two approach each other cautiously and soon, embrace one another followed with a long passionate kiss that to some might seem like it lasted a eternity. Both of them stood there with labored breathing, being lost in one another’s eyes, for once she gives a genuine smile , running a finger between his crotch “ remember that one night….the last night of us Edlan? Remember how we had the one scare that brought us closer?” Sirian only nods slowly “ Well…that was not a scare. I am indeed pregnant with your child…” his eyes widen looking down to her stomach but seeing no swell “ how? You still have your figure?” but he only receives a laugh from Saldoria “ It is early my love, but by the time you realize that you’re going to be dead.”
True to her word Sirian steps back, grabbing at his throat, gagging on something it would seem. He stumbles about gasping for air, crashing into objects in the room , then falls to his knees and soon on his own face . The woman face palms , a unstable laugh echoing in the room “ I’ve finally killed my Beloved Edlan of Sondor. Such a fool to fall for the same trick again!” strutting over to the corpse of her husband she only kicks it to prove he was indeed dead before turning to the “paralyzed” body of Kyliska “ How could you sleep with such a gullible person? You can do better than that ….but then again you too much have been desperate!” she laughs looking back to the body of Sirian but blinks suddenly seeing that it was no longer there. “ What the fel?!”
He came from nowhere, running at Saldoria from behind in perfect silence , landing a open palm blow to her spine with such force she is launched forward into the wall. She would bounced off of the wall landing on back which she kips up facing Sirian with her daggers out “ But how! The toxin should have been paralyzed you !” her lips curl up into a snarl . “ Sal…the only gullible one here is you , to believe I didn’t remember that night.
A moment of silence, as the curtains blow inwards from the broken window and suddenly both of this disappeared. A clash of metal upon metal, sparks flying from every which direction of the room. They were everywhere and no where. One moment Saldoria would be before Kylika stabbing towards her, when suddenly a dark object would parry it and suddenly both disappeared, only to reappear alongside her bed showing her parrying a blow to the shoulder and again they disappeared. Shouts of pain and anger are heard throughout the room and maybe even the spire. Where the vanity had once stood now suddenly breaks, mirrors shatter and soon unseen forces make small craters into the wall. Suddenly they both appear before one another, and almost as suddenly they both land a punch to each others face , with such force they both propel backwards slamming into the wall and slumping down . Again they both stare at one another , panting out of breath. Then in a blink of a eye they were both gone again , appearing from almost nothing but the shadows but they remained din place, hand to hand combat it seems was the way this would end . Siran throwing a uppercut to Saldoria who only matches it with her own, raising a kick to knee him in the groin only to have it meet his own knee.
In this display of a struggle to kill one another there was a sense of intimacy in it, they moved in unison with one another, matching each others blows, where passion was once a term used in the bedroom, it was not being used here. The passion to kill one another with anything and everything they could use. Putting their very heart and soul into the effort.
They were both worn out, but continued the fight. Sirian falls forward using one arm to support his body and throwing a series of kicks towards Saldoria who only blocks them and throws a kick to his face. It connects with his nose sending blood shooting out but again he had vanished ending up behind Saldoria. “ You will Die!” he screams grabbing a hold of skull and running forward , slamming her head into the wall, which he quickly follows up with two punches to the spine and almost as instantly his illusion over his arm fades away, exposing a metal arm and black claws which rakes down on the woman’s back. A cry of pain , her leg arches up kicking sirian In gut to allow her some breathing room from him. She disappears as well ending up in a corner away from Sirian, her own eyes widening at the realization of the metal arm “ how di-” her face goes pale white, her strength waning . “ Wh-what did you do to me Edlan?” but he gave no initial response, he only stalked towards her like a lion about to move in for the kill. With a swipe of his right arm he leaves a three claw marks along her face, sending blood along the walls of Kyliska’s room. Saldora screamed, the pain almost unbearable, the wounds on her back bleeding out as well as burning with a fire, now to match the wound to her face. “ you-you M-m-monster!” she would reach for her dagger only to drop it realizing it weight so much more than she had expected.
“ No, Saldoria, I am your husband, the one that married you and loves you. The only monster here is you. “ and with this his metal hand moves into her stomach, piercing skin and flesh. The womans own eyes widen in shock and awe, whispering something that only sirian could hear. “ That is a lie, I know you are not carrying my child” his hand digging deeper into her only , his wife now falling onto him lifelessly.
Sirian only stepped back pushing the body off of him, but suddenly he freeze’s seeing that Saldoria was not as slim as she had shown and instead now held a rather large swell of a stomach. The world seemed a lot heavier at this moment as he realized that he could peer inside of her wound and saw something which horrified him. “ Wh-what have I done!” the man falls to his knees realizing that the only truth Saldora had given him was that she was indeed carrying his child.
