Alyss: Alyss throws open the balcony doors from her room and steps outside into the brisk fall air. Taking a deep breath, a wide smile crosses her lips. Wintertime would soon be approaching and she was hoping the war might be over... then her family would plan a trip to their winter retreat in the mountains.
Darnan: *He walks out onto the balcony and smiles slightly to himself. His dark hair moving as the wind blows through it. A gloved hand reaches up in annoyance and brushes a stray lock away from his face with a humpf*
Alyss: As she turns, she sees him approach. A look of both dread and hate crosses her delicate features. "Darnan! What are you doing here? Get gone or else I shall summon the royal guard immediately.”
Darnan: *He merely chuckles and shakes his head slightly* "The guards? Oh, them"*He snorts and walks over to the balcony railing* "I merely came here to talk, dear Alyss"
Alyss: "I do not wish to talk with a traitor." She lays a hand at the katana at her waist. "I am warning you, Darnan. Leave."
Darnan: *Turning to her from gazing into the distance. His eyes closed to mere slits as he hisses* "Had I intended you harm you wouldnt even have time to draw that sword" *His face then takes on a more gentle expression*
Alyss: "I may not be as good as my sisters, but I can defend myself well enough, traitor." She retorts back, hand still on the katana if needed.
Darnan: "My dear princess" *He smiles warmly, taking a step towards her* "You have nothing to fear from me. Just let me love you. Be my wife and you will never have to fear me.”
Alyss: She raises a brow. "Your wife? I think not..."
Darnan: *In an instant he is up against her, his hand preventing her from drawing her sword. His face is a mere half inch from hers as he whispers* "Please, my love. Dont deny your feelings for me"
Alyss: "Oh, I do not deny them. I despise you, Darnan. I loath everything about you." She does not back down from him, her eyes not moving from his.
Darnan: *He reaches up and runs a gloved hand over her cheek and whispers* "How could such beauty be so full of hatred for one such as me? I wish only to love you.”
Alyss: "Must I remind you of the reasons?" Jerking her head back away from his touch. "You murdered my father, have wared against my country... I shall never feel anything but what I do now for you."
Darnan: *He leans back up and bursts into laughter*"Ah yes. Your father. The King. Yes of course" *He looks at her, raising an eyebrow slightly then grinning to himself*
Alyss: "You bastard! How can you be so heartless? You killed him...murdered him!" She pulls a few steps back.
Darnan: "Yes! With my bare hands!" *He grins at her then steps closer to her and grabs her by the wrists* "My love. You are coming with me" *He then begins mumbling words in an ancient tongue. Mere moments later a gold, semitransparent disc appears above their heads and decends down on them. As it passes down over them they disappear into it until they are gone from the balcony*
Alyss: She struggles against his grasp. "Let me go! Take me back home now!"
Darnan: *They appear in a room that looks suspiciously much like a bedroom. Endrek lets go of Alyss's wrists but releaves her of her Katana* "Do try to get some rest and. You dont need this for that. You are home, my love. Our home"
Alyss: "I do not think so. And give me back my katana!" Her sword was her most prized possession. To see him handle it made her sick.
Darnan: *He draws the sword and examines the blade* "It really is a beautiful sword. It suits its wielder well" *He grins at her as he sees her reaction to him handling her sword. He then resheathes it and places it on the table* "Now then"
Alyss: "Now then what?" She stays leary of him, making sure to keep her distance. Glancing over at the katana, then back to him...
Darnan: *He walks towards her. Slow, determined steps*
Alyss: She continues backwards, keeping her distance as she tries to manuever herself closer towards her prized weapon.
Darnan: *But he moves so that he always ends up between her and the weapon, keeps moving towards her until she reaches the bed and yet he still closes on her*
Alyss: She hated this game he was playing with her.. she hated being stalked like some poor defenseless rabbit, even though she was similar for the moment... without her weapon, she had no chance against him.
Darnan: *As he is once again up against her he raises his hand and a single red rose appears in it. He smiles, laying it in her hand and walks away again*
Alyss: She blinks, takes a glance at the rose and then drops it to the floor. "Enough with these childish games, Lord Darnan. Return me home."
Darnan: "Hmm? Home? Oh..... yes" *He raises a hand, a golden disc appears above her and one above her sword. He sighs and wishes her adieu before she vanishes back home*
Alyss: As she reappears on her balcony, she shakes her head and picks up her katana from the ground. "What was -that- all about?" she mummbles to herself, strapping the sword back into place.
Darnan: *Many miles away, on a similar balcony, Endrek leans against the railing and sighs heavily* "You will be mine. One day"
Alyss: Alyss goes back into her rooms.. shutting and locking the balcony doors behind her.
