Snippet #1288757

Alan watched from the shadows as two of the competition filed past, the man in the chair carried by servants went past again, or had it just been the chair? That would make much more sense, as why would any important man not choose to stay in the palace?

As it was not the matter at hand he put it from his mind. Instead he now stepped out into the streets and in a blink of an eye was surrounded by his honor guard.
No one would notice the shadows swarm out into the open and construct the shapes of six men and two women, the men would be wearing chest plate and flowing shadow and fire capes while the women would wear full black robes, and all of them would have eyes made of fire.

As they began to march towards the keep the two 'men' on ether side of Alan took out body length poles and started to twirl them before slamming them to the ground with a loud bang which threw fire across the ground, this was repeated as they marched and soon a large crowd had gathered around the group

With the crowd slowing the slowly they finally made it to the palace and Alan walked over to the guard as the shadow people boxed around him "I'm Lord Hunce, ruler of the outlanders." He spoke privately to the guard before turning to the crowd "I come here with no army, no real honor guard, but only a show of magic. I come of course to try my best in wooing you princess and to bring an allegiance, between you and the Outlanders. I come to marry and to join my people with you." As a small slightly confused cheer went up, the shadows dissipated leaving Alan alone. When this happened Alan's weapons also vanished, the guard not exactly noticing bowed slightly and allowed Alan in. Alan clicked his heels and sent sparks flying behind him which multiplied until the sky was filled with multicolored sparks, by the time they vanished Alan was inside and heading to his room.

Bella stood outside looking up at the body laying in the tree above her, blood was still dripping slowly from the dead man in the tree. Bella reached out and caught a drop of blood on her finger, looking at the blood she spoke a quick sentence in the demon tongue, the blood glowed bright and Bella could see the mans last moments in her mind. Yes she had found the place.

When Selinia walks back into her room she would notice a number of things wrong. For instance that her maid had been cocooned in the blood soaked sheets and seemed to be unconscious. Also that there was a woman in her room who by no visible force held the man she had murdered about a meter in front of her.

Bella smiled "Hello there, we need to talk."
