Precious Possession (OC x Kollector) - MK11

chapter 30 - why should I wait

         In this new day, Mileena seemed to be more unresponsive to her battles and objectives. Mostly because Reiko was in charge of leading her army in the success of overthrowing Kotal. It was obvious that the two had been rather intimate with each other for sometime after observing them in a few situations. Mileena seemed to be a more suggestive person, she had an odious aspect of her.

Throughout a couple of hours, Kalliste grew insanely troubled by her thoughts for Kollector, she knew she had to eventually understand about his unknown fate. Whether or not he had been executed, or perhaps better on his own. Kalliste tried to reassure herself, but right now she an empress to serve, despite her dissatisfaction with serving tyrants for some time now.

Many of the Red Dragon and Tarkatan embassies gathered outside, into the far distance of the golden desert. It seemed that Goro presented himself. Kalliste asked for Mileena's presence to which she resided from above, watching over the open desert.

"Empress Mileena?" Kalliste called out.

"What is it?" Mileena replied, she seemed rather hostile for a moment.

"I have been... complementing for a while now. And I... with your permission, ask if I may seek and scout for Kollector."

"No," Mileena said. Her arms were crossed as she watched over the golden desert.

Kalliste gave an uneasy expression.

"—You are wanted by Kotal's justice, if you set foot in Z'unkahrah, you'll seemingly be captured once again and I won't fetch for you if you do. You simply cannot go on your tasks when there is a war going on." Mileena glared at her.

"Do you understand now? I order you to stay here. That is my final word." Mileena said bitterly. Kalliste pouted softly, nodded her head in agreement. Mileena eyed her dispirited expression, the hollow blue tone she can easily sense. Mileena walked over to Kalliste and laid her fingers on Kal's chin, slightly raising her head.

"Why so keen on finding for him? Your eyes have such fire in them." Mileena smirked unnervingly at Kal's dishearten expression.

"--I..." Kalliste stammered.

"I'll tell you woman to woman. Let go. There more vigorous men out there to share your bed." Kal's face clenched in repugnance. Backing away from Mileena's grip.

"-You don--"

"Enough girl talk. Goro anticipates in the open. He says that Kotal's brave warriors are to arrive soon."

"Well, I am not needed here..." Kalliste mutters under her breath and leaves the empress alone in the sun.

She tightened her fists in frustration after the rejection of scouting for Kollector. Kalliste kept asking herself why and why she was so deeply concerned for him. Each day she felt utterly alone and insane. Even years being a loner, a chain of tension gripped tightly onto her.

Kalliste hurriedly came to her chambers, gathering through her things as she felt intensely fired up. She couldn't hold it any longer - Kalliste needed to do things on her own without being tugged on a chain, waiting for commands like a dog.

The sun of scorching hot and around the back of the fortress; Kalliste snuck out to where a gathering of many bound creatures and animals. Kalliste glared curiously, peering inside her mind for a certain prompt to hit her. She needed to find her own adventure and not be bound to this place doing nothing as this Reiko gestures Mileena's court.

Kalliste began to sneak over to the strange creatures that seemed to be compatible for traveling out in the desert. She sneakily hurried her way to one of the animals, preparing her satchel onto its back. Before she could continue on anything else , she felt an uneasy feeling surround her - a wave of overwhelming force swallowing her.
