Senka

The last of her kind... A relic... A nomad. A destroyer with no enemies left to destroy. The four kingdoms of her homelands had found peaceful accord. Clearly deciding peace was better than extinction at the hands of which ever nomadic death the others were able to hire. That is what her people had been for centuries... Nomadic death. Men and women trained nearly from birth to kill. No one knew where they came from even they had lost any tales of a homeland or anything like that centuries ago. They were different from any of the other kingdoms long lived but now there was only one... That anyone knew of.

Little did she know that her people were not exactly mortal nor that there was to always be at least one of her kind in the world always. Long lived they had originally been the line of defense between the Gods and mortals against anything that sought to destroy them. Then their lineage became warriors to protect Goes from humans and humans from Gods... Then what most conscious history knew them as... Ruthless killers... Assassin's... Destroyers... Death...

When the lands further west became known she eventually traveled there. All of the grasslands and strangely clad people who seemed both terrified and curious of her at the same time were very different than home but in all truth she had no home. Sitting in one of the taverns in this strange land she seemed to fascinate a young child who would try to talk to her and once the child had her name seemed to introduce her to everyone in the little village. The adults seemed somewhat fearful of her especially with the swords and weapons she carried but the child seemed far more interested in the "pretty pictures" on her arms hands face and neck. The child determined to hold her hand tracing the patterns with his little finger as some armor clad soldiers rode past. She however passively observed the men covered in armor as one word danced in her mind about their bulky armor... Cowards.

The little one speaking after pausing at one of her tats.

I know someone with a scar that looks like this. Wanna meet him Miss Senka?

Enough...

He walked over as the guards stopped and bowed to the young man walking closer. Senka still stood ready both swords in hand as she eyed the situation as if a tigress ready to fight.

I have never known of any woman who could fight like that... Much less with the tenacity and chess like forethought. Who... Who are you? And what do you feel you defend this child from.

He noticed the scared child behind her pointing to one of his guards.

The child being as any child sought to retrieve his ball and your "soldier" nearly ran the child over then dared go after the child when his horse threw him as not to harm the child.

Is this true?

He turned sharp knowing there were some hotheads in his soldiers ranks. The men who where not nursing wounded egos cuts and ribs nodded.

Such actions will not be tolerated men. Forgive them young one.

He nodded to the child and looking back to this woman wielding two swords and clearly not the clothing of theand under her cloak. He looked into those dark eyes and saw the compassion balanced with a venom for battle had had never seen before in anyone.

Please I would be honored if you would join me for my tour of the lands.

The child tugged on her hand.

It okay miss Senka lady I will tell momma to keep some food warm for you when you get back.

King Reginald Lancaster age 30

It started like any other day as I woke to the sun blinding my eyes as I heard my servant knock hard on the door asking "Sire are you decent the maids wish to change the linens on the bed I groaned as I placed my hand to my head as I shouted "I am decent enough besides it's not like they haven't seen anything I haven't shown them before."

I smirked knowing I had bed a few maids leaving them more than satisfied as I began to climb out of my bed watching my servant open the door, as well as a few maids, coming in the room I couldn't help but smile at each one my servant began to tell me what was on the agenda for the day a few council meetings as well as a tour of the city to make sure everything was running smoothly I yawned deeply as I said "Hold the council meetings until tomorrow and schedule my tour of the city to all day I wish to see how my subjects are doing today and a no more than seven guards will serve on my detail today."

My servant simply bowed and said, "As you wish my lord." I chuckled knowing getting out of any meeting was a less hassle than anything. As I proceeded down the corridor getting my shirt over my head grabbing a light breakfast grabbing my sword and attaching it to its scabbard as I walked outside the castle my expression soured as I saw the carriage, as well as the captain of the guard, sitting there smirking on his horse as he said "Sorry your majesty I know how you detest the thing but the council has ordered for you to take the carriage since the last time you tried to run off and leave your guard behind."

I chuckled and simply said, "Fine I am in your capable hands." As we rode into the city and outside the castle walls there was a bit of a commotion with some of the soldiers on patrol as I left the carriage making myself know to the soldiers I proceeded to ask the young child for forgiveness all the while not taking my eyes off this beauty before me "I asked for her to honor me with a tour of my lands." I kept myself bowed slightly with my hand out all the while thinking to myself what a beautiful flower I have ever seen.

 

[Asa]

She was still ready to fight but seeing the over armored men standing down she slowly resheathed her swords.

The young one seems to trust and perhaps even likes you. You I will trust but advise them not to go after a child like that again I will not pull my strikes next time.

Her cold eyes danced over each guard some still looking stunned if not a little angered that a single woman beat on them as she did.

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

I simply bowed at her wish as I said: "No harm will ever come to the child or anyone else should they also feel my wrath." I looked back to the soldiers as I simply said:
"You're dismissed all of you now get out of sight."

I looked back to the woman as I said: "Forgive my late introduction My name is King Reginald Lancaster of this great country." As I turned and walked back towards the carriage I turned back and simply said "Your choice of weapon as well clothing is indeed an interesting combination are your people well equipped for battle at anytime wearing stuff like that.

 

[Asa]

We are quite skilled in fighting. How can your...

She smirked

Warriors fight at all walking around like over laden statues?

She shook her head. The cloak keeping her covered simply out of knowing the people of these strange lands do not seem to understand nor at times like her wardrobe. A sharp whistle and an Arabian stallion bolts from the taverns barn and over to her side

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

As I couldn't help myself I chuckled slightly,

"It may seem like we look like laden statues we are anything but that we are trained at a young age to handle swords I myself am still a good fighter even though I hate the use of armor it still serves a purpose like keeping yourself from death's icy grip."

The way she whistled summoning her horse to her side was incredible to see "Your horse is very trained." I went toward the leading horse of the carriage as I unhooked the pin freeing the horse as I gently patted it I looked to the woman as I simply said aloud "All the guards will proceed back to the castle I wish to view the surronding countryside with this woman."

As I heard a bit of back talk from the guards I simply said: "Do as your king commands." As I mounted the horse and smiled at the woman I then said "I never received your name I heard the young one called you Senka."

 

[Asa]

That is my name.

As she leapt onto the horses back the cloak billowing open more for a moment as she looked around watching as people seemed shocked and in some disgusted as she snarled towards their comments and laughed as they scurried away.



Perhaps but if you can not move quickly where I am from the sands will claim you killing you for your enemies.

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

As I caught a slight glimpse of her body underneath the cloak I felt slightly aroused she was beautifully fit "I can move pretty fast." As I said that I made a clicking noise signaling my horse to run down the path as I looked back I yelled.

"Your pretty slow for your abilities." I would have so loved to take this foreign woman back to my castle and see each and every part of her beautiful forbidden body.

 

[Asa]

With a smirk and a faint sound the stallion kept into a full run passing the smug king with ease

Really... let's hope the mare can keep up.

Spotting a fruit tree as one sword sliced the fruit from the tree and the other sword caught it before it hit the ground

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

I began to laugh loudly "You are very enjoyable." I couldn't but smile as I watched her slice off a fruit off a tree and catching it with her second sword. I wanted to test her abilities more as well as catch a glimpse of her body.

As I made a clicking sound making the horse trot up close to her horse as I simply reached out my hand toward her sword picking the fruit off the end and presenting it to her "Your a pretty passionate one aren't you, I could always use another fighter in my services or you could become a teacher I wouldn't mind learning how to fight better from your services."

 

[Asa]

To teach the way I was taught your soldiers would drop in numbers drastically I suspect.

She sheethed the swords at her back and took the fruit.

We learn to fight from the time we first stand. After that we live within the walls of the arena and learn to expect attack every second learning to see where everything and everyone is around us. We each become our own army as you would call it. Assassin... Destroyer

She shrugged. Why do the women here not know how to fight? They all seem appalled that I am a warrior.

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

As I listened to how she described how early she was trained I couldn't be surprised hell she would probably match me in a fight or even overpower me if ever got the chance hell I would probably like it and enjoy her roughing me up.

I looked down when she mentioned about women not holding a weapon "The reason for that is that men show a lot more tolerance to pain than women as well as a mastery of swordplay you could say in this country a women place is under the man so to speak to bear and raise children."

Like it or not he was really hoping to bed this beauty before the day ended.

 

[Asa]

She laughed at his words.

A man must prove himself worthy before any woman of my people would have bed down with him for children. Nor would any man accept a woman who could not fight. Our peoples are very different.

It is sad really that the women of your lands are expected to be so weak and slave like. Revolting really.

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

So that's what it took.

"You have a lot of arrogance to judge my people based on that alone who's to say your people are not slaves as well slaves to the very core where they need to find someone who is better than them and lay with the victor, you also find the women of this land weak my mother bless her heart lost my father to an arrow in the back when I was but a lad and she ruled this country till I was fit to be a good king to the people she may not have been strong in the terms of swordsmanship but she was anything but honorable and tried to change the laws of this kingdom.

As I sat there I decided to climb off the mare as I began to stretch feeling my muscles loosen as I looked to Senka I finally said.

"How about this you knock me on my ass and I will grant you anything you desire in this kingdom as long as it's not an outrages demand but if I knock you on your ass you will grant me what I desire."

 

[Asa]

Rulers... They can be good...untill their ego feels threatened... Then they always call on ones like me to destroy those they feel a threat. Queens, Kings... It matters little.

Sliding from the stallion and tossing the cloak over it's back revealing that her full clothing was little more that leather strips of various size and widths and some pieces of chainmail.

Why do you wish to fight me? What is this because of what I said? You hope to best me for mating?

 

[Dire_Moonfang]

I chuckled slightly at her jab about my ego "I am not like any other king or queen or ruler for that matter my only concern is for my people as well as there safety and last time I checked there weren't any enemies for me to have you slay." As I watched Senka removing her cloak I couldn't help but grin as I got a good look as I said,

"I haven't decided if you're that interesting enough to bed you are gorgeous enough to want me to bed but maybe I just want you to stick around long enough in my kingdom for me to finally get a new captain of the guard."

As I said that I pulled my sword from the sheath ready to take on Senka but I knew deep down I was going to lose but it would be worth it to see her moves up close.

 

[Asa]

Two blades prefectly relaxed in her hands a whip coiled at her back and other thrown weapons at her hips and thighs.

Then let us begin
