"I'm not looking to escape my darkness, I am learning to love myself there "
_Rune Lazuli
Warning (sexual abuse and rape scene coming ahead, please read with caution. I will put this mark (**) before the scene, so you can skip)The silence was unnerving as we sat at the dinner table while servants came and went bringing plates of food. She sat at the head of the table, while Arik sat on the opposite side of her. It was like two people trying to dominate the air itself, and it was getting intense. Tam coughed loudly, "it's an honor to have you here, high counselor" she said with a smile that resembled a grimace. "Well I'm not here to honor you" the woman replied crisply while looking at the food carefully, she examined it carefully, picking a sausage with her knife before sniffing it. Apparently the sausage was approved to have no conspiracy against her, so she took a bite. I didn't wait, once the plate was in front of me I forgot everything, my stomach grumbled with a loud audible sound as I pilled my plate with steak and mushrooms and lots of veggies and dug deep with my fork.
I felt every eye in the room piercing me. Tam was giving me the (how do you even have an appetite) look, while Arik grinned in my direction, resting his face on his left-hand knuckles, Keenan looked intently at his plate, but I was sure he was looking less than a second ago. The old lady looked at me with a bemused expression, "most people lose their appetite when I'm around," she said, not so stern as before. "Well, I was training hard today, so..." I couldn't complete the sentence as Keenan's snorting noise interrupted the silence. "Do you need water, duke Keenan" I hissed. He gave me a side look, "no I think the fork just tickled my mouth, thank you for the offer LADY Samir" he replied with a snigger. I blushed holding my knife and digging it into my plate, what would happen if I just threw at his functioning eye, or just dug it at one of his balls, tickling the fucking bastard. "Enough with this childish behavior both of you, you will be working together from now on" the high counselor snapped with a clank of her fork on the plate.
"What, I thought he was being sarcastic" I cried, looking from the high counselor to Tam, she looked at me with the look they gave you when you had a deathly disease or before the handed you to the guillotine. "No young lady, it's no joke, the mission you will work on is confidential, so we will talk about privately, but I saw it plain as day in vision, you too working together is the only way we can survive the darkness ahead" she said while sipping from a glass of water as if she just said something normal like commenting on the nice weather.
