Alfenheims Warlords (a SAO fanfic)

Chapter 25

The dining room was huge, gigantic even, as Sinon was still standing in the doorway with the Prince of Blood and Thaxae. The ceiling almost seemed to stretch on forever above her, maybe a good 3 stories up there in how high it went up. The entire center was empty at the moment, didn't even look like a dining room or anything, but as they began to walk along, suddenly the Blood Prince said, "So his dining room is the ball room? Fancy."

"Well, he figured to use it for something other than nonexistent balls... let me see.." said Thaxae as suddenly she began to use magic.

A long table came floating almost from nowhere as silverware, plates, and glasses along with napkins came floating down to the middle of the huge room as suddenly a few stuffed game in the form of a few Blood demons and a few Ghast Stag but as Thaxae set everything up, she then said to both her and the Blood prince, "Please, take a seat. I'll get any drinks you like."

As the Sinon went to her seat, she suddenly watched as the Blood Prince pull it out for her to sit in and as she slowly sat down, he pushed her in before he sat down nearby himself as he then said to her, "So... how did you and Lisbeth meet in the Alf world?"

As Sinon watched him sit himself down across and down the table, with Thaxae looking at him for order of a drink, and as he finally sat down, he then told her, "May I please have a Ghastly Fog?"

"Of course. And what of you, Lady Sinon?" asked Thaxae as she looked to Sinon

"Um... get me a water please if possible." said Sinon.

"Of course, My lady." said Thaxae as she then walked away to get their drinks.

As she walked away, Reaper293 looked over to the player girl Sinon as he then asked her, still trying to roleplay as his boss, "So... where did you meet Lisbeth in the Alf world?"

Sinon thought about the best thing for a story and then decided to say, "I met her like some do... because a friend you know."

"Lemme guess, its a guy who showed you to her?" asked Reaper294.

"How did you know?" asked Sinon in some surprise.

"Well.. I don't know if you remember... but myself and the others were once Alf's as well." said Reaper. "And how I knew? Well... lets just say I've done the same with my friend the Darkness prince."

Sinon thought about the Prince of Darkness and as she thought about how he acted, he didn't seem like a good who really wanted to be around most people beyond maybe a close few. The word introvert came to mind almost immediately but as she was thinking, suddenly the Prince of Blood chuckled as he said, "Yeah, I know... he still acts like a shut-in even here in Hel... kinda why I like you being here with him."

"Why is that?" asked Sinon.

"You bring the good out from him... I mean, to let you have a hint.. he was sometimes more open to people back then..." said the Prince of Blood as he then looked over to something.

Sinon looked over as she was surprised at how fast Thaxae had brought their drinks over and as she watched the Prince of Blood be given the Ghastly Fog. It was a tall glass of an almost milky substance as actual fog was spilling out over and as he eagerly brought it to his lips, he suddenly froze as Sinon was given her tall glass of water as she asked him with a slightly appalled look.

"What?"

"What is that stuff?" asked Sinon.

"Oh? Ghastly Fog?" said the Prince of Blood. "Umm... believe it or not but its milk."

She looked at Thaxae as Thaxae stopped form going to the kitchen just as she sighed and said, "Believe it or not, the milk from the Ghast Cow herds is a common drink that one and the other Prince's and Princess drink. And yes, the milk does give off the fog by itself without any help."
