Location: The Arch Duchy of Death Hold
Time: 2:00 A.M.



The Grand Imperial Shadow Palace...




The Imperial Shadow Archducal Council was in session a usual typical day in Death Hold city except, for one thing the Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I, the 18yr old God-Emperor was not present.


The Imperial Shadow Archduke Eric Santanlio looked upon his fellow conspirators and said, "My fellow Imperial Shadow Archdukes and Arch Duchesses we have a serious problem with our young Grand Shadow Emperor."

The Imperial Shadow Archduchess Amelia Zhani replied, "What problem is with his divine majesty?"

The Archduke Santanlio responded, "The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I is eighteen years old and restless. The ruler of our Shadow Empire is hot-blooded and rash. He has officially destroyed religious freedom within our Empire and is holding on to his divine status with dear life. The boy seeks absolute control over the Grand Shadow Empire like the rulers of old. He must be forced to settle down from his grandiose ambitions before he starts plotting to send our Imperial Shadow Legions to war on a whim. That could potentially destroy us all and the peace that we have maintained for centuries."

The Archduke Robert Herman said in a tired voice, "Great House Herman, Will not support any conspiracy against his divine majesty. The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron is a living god a direct descendant of Minax. I will never betray him on the fear that we may go to war. True loyalty would be to follow our Shadow Emperor to war with sword and shield in hand!"

The Archduchess Amelia Zhai replied in a low voice, "I think we should put the Grand Shadow Emperor up on the market. It would be interesting to see if he can hold his throne with an Grand Shadow Empress at his side."

The Archduke Santanlio laughed and said, "We are not betraying the Shadow Emperor merely preserve his bloodline in case the last Von Antheron descendant should die we would at least have an heir instead of going into a religious civil war for the Shadow throne."

The Imperial Shadow Archducal Council made it's treacherous decision in a vote that was unanimously agreed upon by all of them. The Grand Shadow Emperor would have to marry soon or face a lack of support from the Imperial Archducal Council……


************************************************************************
The Private Chambers the Imperial Strategic Command…….

The Shadow Emperor was still asleep in his private chambers were he was guarded by the Imperial Bodyguard 1st Chapter of the Order of the Crimson Skulls. These were the feared shadow knights that were eternally charged to be the Grand Shadow Emperor's personal bodyguards. The dreaded Master of the Imperial Guard Victor Griswald the brother of the current Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald headed this Chapter.


The decision of the Imperial Shadow Archducal Council was sent to the Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald. The Imperial Shadow Warlord was completely loyal to the Shadow Emperor and this letter he received from the Archducal Council was in his eyes, direct treason to against Imperial majesty. The very notion of them trying to set up the Grand Shadow Emperor to be forced to wed was ridiculous. The Imperial Shadow Warlord took a deep breath and walked to his Majesty's chambers were he was going to notify the Shadow Emperor of the Archducal Council's decision.


************************************************************************

The Private Chambers of Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso…..

The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I, had just awoken when he heard his chamber door open up. The noise was loud to him and he did not want to be seen without his traditional Imperial Shadow Robes. The Grand Shadow Emperor covered himself with the covers to avoid the light and said, "Who dares disturb me whilst I sleep?"

The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald knelt down and lowered his eyes daring not to look upon his Imperial Highness until his traditional robes were adorned. The Imperial Warlord however said in a humble tone, "Your Imperial Highness, The Imperial Shadow Archducal Council has sent a message demanding that you marry a girl of noble blood from outside of the Grand Shadow Empire. They say it will teach you a lesson in humility and help you to deal with foreign nations outside our Shadow Empire."

The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I had jumped out of his bed in a state of utter rage. The Imperial Bodyguards that protected the inner chamber lowered their eyes to avoid facing a harsh death penalty that was given to any man, woman, or child that looked upon his highness without his robes. The Shadow Emperor while getting dressed screamed, "They dare give me a living god orders? I should have them all beheaded or sent to the Shadow Inquisition for heresy. I should.."

The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald boldly interrupted, "My lord, marriage should not be to bad of a burden. You would be married and the Archdukes and Archduchess could see you have the ability to be able to have a family without beheading the girl."

The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron replied, "You mean, I can not execute my bride like the concubines in my private collection."

The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris laughed and said, "No, My Imperial sovereign killing a woman of noble birth is forbidden unless they are planing on killing you first."

The Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron puffed and said, "I am in for serious situation with this little issue."

The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris replied, "I am afraid so my lord."

The Grand Shadow Emperor had finally managed to get on his traditional robes with the help of his altered slaves. They had worked quickly, diligently, and hurriedly to get the Imperial Shadow robes to cover Shadow Emperor's body.

The Shadow Emperor upon getting dressed gave one final command to Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris, "I leave you with this final instruction, issue an Imperial Shadow Proclamation to all nations for me to seek a bride to the Imperial Shadow Archducal Council's specifications."


The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald looked up to his robbed Shadow Emperor and said, "I will do this command or die trying my Grand Shadow Emperor!" The Imperial Warlord left quickly and prayed that he did not offend the living god of Deatharon……..

Imperial Shadow Proclamation

"Long Live the Grand Shadow Emperor!"


To: All Nations of the World
From: The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald
Subject: Quest to find a Bride for the Grand Shadow Emperor.

The Grand Shadow Empire of Deatharon is under orders to find a bride for the Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I. The Grand Shadow Emperor is looking for a girl of noble blood. She must be accepting of the fact that she will be worshiped as a goddess by the subjects and vassals of the Grand Shadow Empire of Deatharon.

She is allowed to be of a different faith and worship but she must not allow her real faith to be known to the public at large. She must be ambitious, smart, and fairly attractive, and she must be able to accept the fact Alfonso is a little arrogant thanks to spending his entire life being worshiped as a divine entity on earth.

I have also taken the time to make a little list about the groom:

Title: Grand Shadow Emperor
Lesser Titles: The Imperial Sovereign Liege Lord of the Grand Shadow Empire of Deatharon, The Imperial Archduke of Death Hold, The Living God of Deatharon.
Name: Alfonso Von Antheron
Age: Eighteen
Weight: 165pounds
Height: 6ft 1inches
Appearance: This one, I can not answer thanks to his Imperial Shadow Robes which covers his entire body.
Hobbies: Ruling with an Iron-fist, executing dissidents in new and painful ways, plotting to increase power across the globe. He also enjoys being worshipped as a god.
Personality: Arrogant, brash and headstrong. He does however possess a sense of honor, which he upholds with a passion. He is also loyal when push comes to shove. He does not betray his allies unless they give him just cause.

We hope to receive a response from any available woman of noble birth that follow the list in the first paragraph above.

We have found a lady of noble birth that is quite interested in the Alfonso, but has a couple questions for him.
First of all is whether he intends to keep these 'concubines'?
Second does he enjoy full-contact fencing and martial arts?
Third, how many offspring is he looking for, and how and by who, will they be raise?
Fourth, what colour are his eyes and hair?
Fifth, would he wish her to share in his hobbies, and will he share in hers?
Sixth and finally, how does he intend to pick amongst the potentials?

Our suitor follows her own faith and can keep it secret, permitted she can worship privately. She is able to rule the Empire, as an Empress if needed to, she has learned from many tutors on the subject. She has many interests like reading, fencing, horse riding and many others. If any more info is needed, just ask.

OOC-Sorry if short but I have things to deal with.

Victoria is a member of a sect within a church that is known as the Black Rose. As to whether it could be kept secret from the Deatharonian public, that is a certainty as there would be no reason, nor oppertunity for such to happen. She is interested in when he would like her to visit the Shadow Palace to meet him.

ooc: How would Alfonso react if he was called Alfie?

OOC: That is highly understandable…

OOC: He would be a little embarrassed. He would try to hide the fact that his embarrassed which should not be to hard considering he will be wearing his traditional robes…

Emily Lascaris was glad that she could go to the nation of Deatharon. She packed some things up and proceeded to go on a plane to Deatharon. When she got to the nation of Deatharon, Emily came out of the plane and thought to herself ''I am sure some officals will greet me. I can't wait for all this to unfold.''

Emily was dressed in a Byzantine-Japanese style dress and she was hopeful that things would work out.

Victoria would prefere to travel by plane.

She'd packed her bag and headed to the airport to catch the flight to meet Alfonso. After a leisurely flight, the plane landed and Victoria exited the plane.

The Grand Imperial Shadow Palace…


The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron dressed in his usual public attire sat upon his Imperial Shadow Throne. At the foot of his dais was a kneeling man and from the way he was dressed it was obvious to anyone around in the court that he was a Baron.

Baron Demarius Alishin from Great House Von Antheron had his eyes lowered as he spoke to the Grand Shadow Emperor in a humble tone, "My Shadow Emperor, I am here to report to you. My house steward notified me you had summoned me for a personal matter."

The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron replied, " I want you Baron Demarius, to handle the arrangements of my suitiors. I want you to set up the Limousines to pick them up and have military officers with armed escorts send them to my palace unharmed. Is that understood Baron Demarius?"

The Baron in a quivering voice, "Ye.Ye..yes, your Imperial Majesty, The arrangements are as good as handled."

The Baron left silently and did not look back. He was going to get some Centurions and some Legionaries along with a few Government Limousines to pick up the suitors for the Shadow Emperor…

Victoria stretched and looked around, somewhat surprised that there was no one yet there to meet her, or at least none that had introduced themselves as yet. Taking a seat on a bench, she pulled out a book and began reading whilst she waited.

Emily also took a book to read. When she saw Victoria, she decided to go to her. ''Hello there. Are you here to meet the Emperor?'' Emily asked politely.

"Yes, and you are?" Victoria asked as she looked at the girl, wondering if she was sent to pick her up.

''I am Emily Lascaris and I too am here to see the Emperor.'' Emily said.

"Ah, competition." She replied as she examined her possible rival.

''Whoever the Emperor picks, it is his choice.'' Emily said. ''I hope the Emperor's officals pick us up soon.'' Emily said.

The Shadow Inquisitor Jonathan Roshalino noticed the foreign women almost instantly. They were not dressed anywhere near like nobles of the Grand Shadow Empire and they did not look like they were from the peasantry or slaves. The Shadow Inquisitor decided to notify his fellow Inquisitors about them and request that they be held for questioning….


The Shadow inquisitor finally reached the Shadow Inquisition's Office in the Archduchy of Death Hold's Shadow Inquisitorial sect. He wanted to have these girls arrested and interrogated. Unfortunately, for him when he described the girls.


The Shadow Inquisitorial office notified him they were to meet the Grand Shadow Emperor. This promptly made the Shadow Inquisitor Jonathan shake with quick and sudden fear when they notified him they were suitors for his Imperial majesty. The Shadow Inquisitor quickly apologized to his office and left the area to hide before the ladies escorts were given the order to kill him for even thinking of touching the suitors..

The Government Limousines quickly managed to find and acquire parking space after The Centurions threatened several peasants with beheading if they did not leave their parking spaces. The Shadow Legionaries also showed they meant business when one of them shot a person whom was moving to slow. The man was killed instantly and his body was quickly removed from sight.

The Centurion laughed and said, "Okay Legionaries, find the Shadow Emperor's suitors and escort them to the Limousines and do not harm them. If you do you will face immediate torture and possibly being quartered in front of the market place!"

The Shadow Legionaries shivered and started to set up a perimeter around the area. They were to escort the ladies to the Grand Shadow Emperor or die trying…

"Same, I was expecting them to be here before we arrived, not after we'd had to wait." She replied as she gestured for Emily to take a seat. "I also wonder who's been sent to pick us up."

Emily sat down, as she had been and replied ''I hear something outside. Do you think that is the people who will pick us up?'' Emily seemed to like Victoria, she was a polite person. ''I was also expecting them to be here before we arrived.'' she said.

"It might be, sounds a bit like a bunch of noisy officials." Victoria replied as she stretched. "Hopefully they'll arrive soon as these benches aren't exactly the height of comfort."

''I am sure it is. Also, these benches are not that comfortable for me either.'' Emily said. ''What's your name? I must have forgotten to ask.'' Emily said.

"Victoria, Victoria Napolea. What's your last name by the way?" She asked

''I am Emily, Emily Lascaris.'' Emily said to Victoria. ''If those officals are picking us up, then why are we still here?'' Emily muttered nicely.

"Because they're boobs who can't find thier own hindquarters, much less two ladies?" Victoria suggested with a semi-teasing smile.

Emily laughed a little. ''That was a good one.'' Emily remarked. ''I come from the Byzantine lands, you come from Theao, right?'' Emily asked.

"Yes, though I must confess I've never heard of your lands." She replied

h

''I come from Byzantine Japan. That's ok if you have never heard of my lands.'' Emily said.

"I feel as if you have the advantage of me now." Victoria replied as she looked at her watch.

ooc: Suggest waiting for Death to return.

OOC-Sure.

''That's ok. I did not mean to.'' Emily said.

Eyarayin d' Drasdera looked over the information sent from Deatharon, raising an eyebrow at the mention of his arrogance and hobbies, as well as the mention to a fomral question that he had little combat experience.

The Drasdera were Kaymiril's Warlords...and actually, it was the females in power.

They were the third highest House...after the Maril, the Royals, and the Kestal, the Negotiators.

Eyarayin had been trained in the art of war since she had been an infant on her mother's knee...or more her grandmother's. Streea d' Drasdera had long been the top military official in Kaymiril.

She took up her quill. She would write this herself.


Chalin Province, Kaymiril

Warlord Griswald, I have read over your Emperor's information, and have taken an interest in coming.

My family is ancient and has been Nobility since before my nation's founding. I myself am third in line to become Kaymiril's next Director of War and Warfare.

We are nobility in manner, but warriors in temperment. Your Emperor would not find me an inadequate wife.

Hobbies: Sword play, Staves, Cartography, Mathematics, Languages, Mind Puzzles. Perhaps Chess, also. It seems interesting, but I've never played it.

Temperment: Ordinarily dispassionate and reserved, but can get haughty when angered. Will not resort to violence while talking, or with another of Noble Blood that has not challenged me or I have not been ordered to kill by the Valsharess.

Reviewing her letter, Eyarayin sealed it with her family's crest -- Two serpents entwined around crossing swords -- and sent it off.

IC:

The Shadow Legionaries finally saw two ladies sitting and talking to one another. The Legionaries had been given descriptions of these ladies that were to meet the Grand Shadow Emperor but they had not meet them in person which meant they had to ask them. The girls both looked foreign one wearing a very foreign dress and the other wearing what seemed to be wearing another fairly foreign style of clothing.


The girls would see a group of ten men in military style uniform armed with standard issue rifles heading towards them. The Shadow Legionnaire in the lead of the squad wearing a skull and cross symbol on his sleeves, (The Imperial Crest) said out loud to the girls, "Excuse me ladies, Are you the suitors we were ordered to retrieve?"

"Very well then," Lehana commented as Deluca looked over her queen's shoulder.
"So," Deluca began, "That means I get to go then? Great, I'll travel by air, I'm sure it is more easy for them."
"Yes," Lehana said, "You go and get your things ready, I'll write them and tell them to be expecting you by air."
"Yes your majesty," Deluca said, "Thanks for the chance."
The young woman left the large office as Lehana began to write to the Deathon nation.

From: The Office of Queen Lehana
To: The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald

Your lord Boris Griswald, Deluca Martaz will be traveling by air; she thanks you for your invitation to your grand palace.

Signed,
Queen Lehana

(OOC: I hope you feel better, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was being anoying or pestering.)

OOC: No, They are common soldiers. The Baron messed up and sent standard infantry men to escort the suitors. If Alfonso finds out about that, The Baron is going to die a very painful death at the hands of the Shadow Inquisition.

IC:

The Shadow Legionaries all had an astonished look on their faces. The mentioning of their living God's name was not something done by most mortals. It would have been a painful end to must people in the Grand Shadow Empire however, The Shadow Legionaries would not commit the act of harming the girl for saying the name of the Grand Shadow Emperor after all she was his suitor.

The lead Shadow Legionnaire after a few seconds replied in a obedient soldier like voice, "We formally apologize for making you wait. We ran into a little traffic on the way here but do not worry. The people responsible have been dealt with appropriately."

The other Shadow Legionnaires just looked at the girls after a few moments the lead one said, "Our orders are to escort you to the Limousine and then take you to the Grand Imperial Shadow Palace."

************************************************************************

The Baron was notified of the situation and was quicker this time in dealing with it. He sent direct order to the centurions at the airport to have their security detachments ready to intercept Deluca and escort her to his Imperial Majesty's residence in Death Hold…


OOC: I actually wanted to thank you. It made finding this thread a-lot easier thanks to your bumping...

Victoria smiled as she noticed the shocked look on the men's faces. "I'm not sure about Emily here, but I won't hold it against you, at least not this time." She commented, her voice dipping just slightly into the sinister with the last few words.

"Then some of you take our bags." She said, "And then lead the way." She considered asking for a ride, but decided that might be pushing things just a little.

OOC: He is afraid because he is of common birth and a noble can easily order his death on a whim..

The Shadow Legionnaire after recovering from the instant fear that Victoria's sinister voice had caused said, "Ladies, please allow me and my men to take your bags to the Limo." The Shadow Legionnaire and two others walk over to the ladies bags to help them get their items to the limousine. The rest of the squad takes positions around the girls in a protective column ready to kill anyone foolish enough to come to close to them.

The lead Shadow Legionnaire said, "We are ready to take you to your limousine."

"Thank you." She replied as the guards helped her and Emily with the bags. With the guards in thier protective phalanx, they travelled to the limo. Once the legionnaire opened the door, she turned to him, smiled and commented, "Thank your boss for me and give him my recommendation of you."

She wondered what would be going on in the man's head as she first was harsh, then nice to him.

(OOC: Your welcome, some people told me not to.)



IC:



It was a few hours later that the plane touched down in the capital city of the Deatharon nation. Deluca got off the plane in a floor length black dress, fine silk and lace adorned the gown and a string of pearls around her neck. The young woman stepped off the plane, her hair pinned up on top of her head. She walked in to the waiting area and sat down, gathering her bags closer towards her that held more fancy gowns, jewlery, a gift for the Imperir and many other things.

OOC: I apologize for my lack of a response was feeling a little under the weather….

IC:Imperial Shadow Proclamation

"Long Live the Grand Shadow Emperor!"


To: The Citadel d' Drasdera Chalin Province, Kaymiril
From: The Imperial Shadow Warlord Boris Griswald
Subject: Quest to find a Bride for the Grand Shadow Emperor.

The Grand Shadow Emperor Alfonso Von Antheron I is impressed by your application. His Imperial Majesty would like to formally invite you to The Grand Imperial Shadow Palace, in the Archduchy of Death Hold to compete with the other suitors for the honorable position of Grand Shadow Empress. The Grand Shadow Emperor would also like to know if you would be traveling by air or by sea?





Signed:

Imperial Shadow Warlord: Boris Griswald The head of Great House Griswald, The Supreme Warlord and Commander of the Imperial Strategic Command. Lord Protector of the Living God of Deatharon.

I will be arriving by air...or close enough.

My estimated arrival time is three hours after you receive this message.

Eyarayin d' Drasdera.

She then sent it off and looked up.

"Lieutenant," she called, addressing the young man on duty just outside her door.

He poked his head in, as her tone conveyed that she had a message he would be running for soon.

"Tell them to ready my ship, we head for Deatharon."

"Will there be any other vessels accompanying us, ussta jalil?"

"No. Go on and tell them...I need to speak with the Head of my House."

The man gave her a salute and left to do her bidding.

Meanwhile, Eyarayin tapped a cylinder on her desk, and it opened up into a magnificent silver bird.

"Contact my grandmother."

A moment later, the face of an older Drow appeared before her. This age was not portrayed as it is in humans, with blotched skin and wrinkles...no, Streea d' Drasdera had as perfect a body now as she'd had in her prime. Only in her expression...the cant of her eyes, the tightness of her mouth...the aura of experience radiating out from her like a wave of power -- in those things, and those alone did Streea d' Drasdera show her age. Eyarayin hoped to one day resemble her grandmother in that, but for now, she had to rely on sheer force of personality to give her an aura of energetic power...not the serene, deadly power that came with age and hardship. Time enough for that later.

Eyarayin's head and upper torso tilted forward, her hand, straight and palm down, came to her shoulder across her heart -- the Kaymirilian military salute.

It didn't take long for the Drasderan matriarch to address her second grand daughter -- third in line to take over the House after she died, eighteenth in legal succession to the Kaymirilian throne. "Speak, Captain."

"Grand Admiral, I am going to Deatharon. I go of my own intentions, with no ships but my own."

"Your intentions, grand daughter?"

Here Eyarayin's mouth took a wry turn up. "To seek a bride." At her grandmother's expression, she elaborated. "The Emperor of Deatharon seeks a wife from among the nations...but he keeps calling them 'suitors,' which I see as more fitting to the men attempting to gain a woman's graces."

"A diplomatic mission, grand daughter? Something best left to a d' Kestal."

The young Captain shook her head. "I doubt a d' Kestal would be able to do this. Deatharon is a harsh place...not where a negotiator is needed, but where a warrior is. Besides...the d' Maril have stepped out -- Qu'essan Dora'nes married the Crown Prince of Newtdom many years ago...she might be Empress of that nation now, I do not know -- and Talraena d' Kestal is Ambassador to Gronde. As Third House, it is time we sent out a representative. I ask for your permission as Grand Admiral, and your blessing as Grand Mother."

The older woman nodded. "Be well in your going, Captain. Report in when you can...your mother, sister and I will be watching for what you say."

"Siyo, ilhar d'ussta ilhar."
_________________________________________________________________

***Three hours, give or take, over Deatharon Airspace***

"Commander, you have the bridge. Do nothing but remain in orbit until you hear from me."

"Siyo, Captain."

Eyarain had on her dress uniform...A black Hard Silk outfit with silver embroidery in the form of her house crest emblazoned on the top. The Drasderan serpents also ran along the outside of the pants, which went over the leather boots. Her hair was pulled back to be unobtrusive...she cut an impressive figure.

She went to the shuttle which was to drop her off...her suitcase was ready there -- just a thin case, with a few essential items -- clothes, etc. It was light.

The shuttle eased down into the atmosphere, to within a hundred feet of the air field's ground.

Its hatch opened, and the Kaymirilian noble descended down on a metal platform.

When they had almost reached the ground, she stepped off, snapping her fingers, and it raised up and wrapped itself around her right arm, serving, almost, as a gauntlet.

Then, with an even, powerful stride she walked off the landing area as her shuttle ascended back up. She did not look back, neither hurrying nor being slow to the area at which she should be received.


OOC: I hope you'll forgive me for the skip and entry, etc, but I was interested in the important part of the RP, instead of the mere formalities of requesting entry. I'd like to assume that happened, etc, and move along with the RP.

The Shadow Legionaries were ready at the main Airport in the Capital of Death Hold. The Legionaries intercepted Deluca Martaz. The Centurion leading the squad asked in a respectful voice, "Hello, Mrs. Are you one of the suitors for his Imperial Majesty?" The other Shadow Legionaries waited for her answer showing no signs of their usual domineering bravado..

*************************************************************



The Limousine upon taking the two ladies drove off to the Imperial Palace. The Shadow Legionaries and their military transport vehicles escorted the Limousine thus the local traffic of the city began to yield to them. The transportation buses upon seeing the Imperial Crest upon the Limo and the Shadow Legionaries flashing lights pull over for the Imperial Entourage that went directly to the Imperial Palace.
************************************************************

Eyarayin d' Drasdera, was greeted by a small detachment of Shadow Legionaries. Their commander a Centurion looked at the dark skinned elven woman and said, "I guess you are the one we were ordered to escort the Imperial Palace?"

The Shadow Legionaries looked at this strange woman in awe. The sight of an elf had not been seen in Deatharon for several centuries. Eyarayin was like a strange fantasy vision that had sudden become reality..


OOC: I am a puppet of Deatharon that was logged in instead of my usual account. I would also like to apologize for the short post. I had to post this fast...

Victoria and Emily chatted about inconsequentialities as the limo conveyed them to the palace. Once the Legionaries at the palace let them out, she looked around and wondered how many other suitors had applied, how many had arrived as well as where Alfonso happened to be hiding.

"In all likelihood yes, unless your Emperor is in the habit of making his guests walk."

She turned her head to the other legionaires, after addressing the Centurion.

"I am real. Would you like me to prove it by spitting fire or something?"

The Limo finally reached the Imperial Palace in a matter of an hour. The trip would have been twice as long if the traffic had not yielded to the Imperial entourage. The Imperial palace was from the outside looked like a dark fortress. It did however have the national flags upon the tops of the towers and it also had a large insignia of the Imperial Crest on the front gates..

The walls had armed guards dressed in their elite uniforms. The Towers had armed snipers and sharpshooters looking for possible hostile targets. The fence around the fortress had one entrance at the front of the palace. The Entrance had an armed guard in a control station with an opening closing mechanism. The sight of security cameras were lined around the walls and even barbed wire on the top of the fence…

The Limo drove up to the entrance gate. The driver and the guard talked and they exchanged security clearances. The gates opened up and the Limo with it's escorts drove towards the large drive way with the security escort..

******************************************************************************

The Centurion responded, "The Grand Shadow Emperor has a Limosuine ready to pick you up. If you would follow us, We shall escort you to the vehicle."

The Shadow Legionaries realized they had been gawking. One of the Legionaries quickly apologized, "Sorry, We did not mean to offend you Mrs. It is just that we have not seen your kind before. We have heard stories but to see an elf in person is a new experience for most of us."

"Yes sir," Deluca answered, "I am Deluca Martaz, here to see his majesty from the Nation of Tarayshia."

The Centurion responded, "The Grand Shadow Emperor has a Limosuine ready to pick you up. If you would follow us, We shall escort you to the vehicle."

The Shadow Legionaries realized they had been gawking. One of the Legionaries quickly apologized, "Sorry, We did not mean to offend you Mrs. It is just that we have not seen your kind before. We have heard stories but to see an elf in person is a new experience for most of us."
"In a moment."

She turned to the legionaire that had spoken.

"Your mistake is common, but irksome. Elves have pale skin, tint to their hair, and will never have red eyes. I am a Drow, as are most, if not all, of the rest of the population of my country. If we are clear on this, NOW we may proceed."

Victoria had noticed there appeared to be a exceptionally large number of secruity personel at the palace and had mention that to Emily before they got out. It appeared the quarreling would be not advised.

The Shadow Legionnaire nodded then replied, "I humbly apologize if my comments have offended you. I pray that you have not taken offense to my ignorance of your kind Mrs."

The Centurion in charge gave a dark threatening glare to the Shadow Legionarie and the young man ran towards his position in the phalanx formation that his comrades had taken around Eyarayin. It seemed they were going to personally escort her to the Limo and kill anyone foolish enough to try and come five feet of Eyarayin.

The Centurion took the lead position and personally advanced his men towards the parking lot. The Phalanx moved and the local peasants scattered away from their advance. It was clear to anyone that noticed they were really afraid of their own military. This was not surprising considering the power the Imperial Shadow Legions possessed in Deatharonian society..

************************************************************************

"Yes sir," Deluca answered, "I am Deluca Martaz, here to see his majesty from the Nation of Tarayshia."



The Centurion smiled and said, "Excellent, I have a limousine waiting for you. My men and myself will personally escort you to the Limousine. We hope you enjoy your stay inside the Grand Shadow Empire."

The Shadow Legionaries took their phalanx positions around Deluca they had bayonets exposed and rifle's lowered it seemed like they were prepared to wage war against anyone that would foolishly stand between Deluca and the Limousine.

*********************************************************************

Victoria had noticed there appeared to be a exceptionally large number of secruity personel at the palace and had mention that to Emily before they got out. It appeared the quarreling would be not advised.


The Limosuine prepared to park at the main garage of the Fortress. It had several columns of Crimson Skull Soldiers guarding the premises. The driver called to the back of the Limo to let the girls know that they were at their destination. The Slaves dressed in their standard uniforms prepared to open the doors for the ladies and escort them to the Grand Shadow Emperor in his throne room..

"Thank you." Victoria called back as she exited the limo before taking in the sight. A nod directed at Emily was to let her know that it was open season, so to speak, as she directed one of the people to take her bags as she headed in to meet Alfonso.

The Centurion smiled and said, "Excellent, I have a limousine waiting for you. My men and myself will personally escort you to the Limousine. We hope you enjoy your stay inside the Grand Shadow Empire."

The Shadow Legionaries took their phalanx positions around Deluca they had bayonets exposed and rifle's lowered it seemed like they were prepared to wage war against anyone that would foolishly stand between Deluca and the Limousine.

Deluca smiled politely, "I believe I shal, I have heard many things about your Grand Shadow Empire."
As she stood, she nodded for someone to take her bags as she began following the men out towards the limmo. She gazed around at her surroundings, and how the people seemed to shrink back in fear as she walked.
"You have an impressive military if you do not mind me saying," Deluca said as someone opened a door for her in order to get in the limmo.

The Shadow Legionnaire nodded then replied, "I humbly apologize if my comments have offended you. I pray that you have not taken offense to my ignorance of your kind Mrs."

It was clear to anyone that noticed they were really afraid of their own military. This was not surprising considering the power the Imperial Shadow Legions possessed in Deatharonian society.
Eyarayin noticed this, and could not honestly say it pleased her. A society so fearful of its law enforcement or army was not healthy...in all likelihood, revolt would begin soon.

In Kaymiril, she'd been approached by almost anyone without concern for herself, and without them fearing her. The only fear anyone experienced around her was when faced with her just wrath.

There was more to see though, she was sure. Perhaps there would be redemption for the nation further on, and perhaps she would decide that this nation was beyond repair and leave. She said nothing, maintaining her place in the formation.

The Imperial Shadow Legionaries continued to protect Deluca until she was safely inside her limousine. The Legionaries after seeing her enter inside her personal Limo, double timed it back to their APC's. They would then escort her to the Imperial Shadow Palace without incident hopefully..

The lead Centurion himself ran ahead of the squad and opened the door for Eyarayin to enter. The other Legionaries formed a line on each side of her in a ceremonial defense formation. It seemed they wanted to make sure she got through safe and sound.

The Centurion then said, "We have arrived to your limousine to the Imperial Shadow Palace. On behalf of me and the men have a wonderful time."

"I understand about having conflict," the woman stated, "Although I have been blessed thus far in my life by living in a peaceful nation of Tarayshia, we have had some close calls however."
Deluca gazed out her window of the car, admiring the beauty of the nation, as well as the loyalty of so many people towards the emperor.
'I could live like this.'
Deluca thought as her driver continued driving down the streets;

The Limousine was waiting for her as they had said earlier. The jet-black vehicle had the Imperial crest on the doors.

She gave the centurion a curt nod and stepped into the limosine.

It felt very...confined...and everything about this nation so far made her wonder if there wasn't a threat of some sort to the potential brides of this boy.
