You do not even know our tongue do you?

She narrowed her eyes a bit. She had thought this man came from her lands. But his words seemed to twist that idea. No he didn't. He was from somewhere else. Or just an complete lunatic. It was also an possibility. He was quite good looking, but something about him seemed to fend her off. Some kind of uneasy feeling when being close to him. Or in this case breathing the same air as him. And yet he seeme to draw her in. She wanted to hear more of that hounting voice. See more of his light skin. Feel more of his touches burning and throbbing as he had hold her just before. Why was it that a man like this could hold such power over her?

"Valyria is my home. It's where my throne is. I throne I intend of carrying very soon." She narrowed her eyes staring at him. "I only hide to protect myself. For now. When the time comes there won't be a need for hiding any longer. You know that as well as I do. I do not wish to hide, but I have to." For the sake of her little sister. Would this man also know about Aria. Then perhaps she wouldn't be safe here. Shit what if he knew. What if he would hurt her, or worse.. touch her.

She nearly kept a growl in hearing the humming, recodnizing the words he didn't even sing to the tune. It was an disgusting song, a vile song and yet she almost instantly seemed to hum with him.

"Then what use are you to me?" She hissed coldly. If he couldn't do that one simple task. Why should she trust him with more? He was worthless if not for just a sword atatched to an arm she could use. This had always been the way she thought of men. And especially men who looked and acted like him.

Those touches. They once again left burn marks on her skin it felt as she let him pull her close she closed her eyes as she just stood there forcing herself to not curl her arms around him listening to his words shivering as she felt the kiss which seemed to eat away her tender skin. She hold her breath and only released it again as he let her go and fell back on the couch. Silently her deep blue eyes turned back to his once again. "A princess does not ask." Her voice was low. Forcing herself to calm her fastly beating heart as she took a step to him again, and another one. Till she stood in front of him laying her hand under his chin. "A Princess commands, and I command you to tell me. What am i to you. Why would you want to protectt me. And what do you think of me." She whispered moving her face closer to his, her long dark hairs falling over her shoulders, dangling besides her face seeming to close them off from the rest of the world. She kept heer stare on his eyes her mouth the tiniest bit open as she breathed running with her thumb along his lips. So close.. Narrowing her eyes she let him go and moved back again sitting down next to him on the couch, crossing her legs, which made the skirt she was wearing pull up a bit revealing a bit more of her leg as she leaned backwards.

"Are you loyal to the Rhoynish pigs or to the throne?" She asked coldly staring at him. "Because the way you speak makes me wonder how much I can really use you." Looking away from him she stared around the house. Well atleast he didn't belong to the Amor family, even if he was from Dorne. "They'll never catch it. Even they do not know what it is and who it carries." She smiled leaning back. She was sure of her case. After all. If there was one thing she knew about it was this. She may not have been thought the way males were in her land, but she was tought the ways of a ruler, a queen. And with that the secret her family held. "And if they do, it will be used against them. You see. The weapon is no sword or axe. But you already knew that didn't you. It's inside, passed on from generation to generation of Laendaerys." She let her fingers run over the man's arm staring him into his eyes. "Neither my father, the king, nor any man, woman or child know's what it truly is, and know's how to use it. Except for me." She looked at him. "And I'd advice you to not try and find an excuse to use it to your own provit as well sir. A beast will never let itself be chained. Ahrk Zu'u fen neh kreh fah vonumiik med hi."

She wasn't fearfull of this man. He could throw nothing at her she hadn't already endured. She had lost her home, her father and her subjects. She was like a fawn, lost in the great big world. But instead of shivering like a coward she fought to stay on top. She acted day after day to protect her Aria and to gain enough power here so she could overrule her father. "I have not given up yet." Her tone was cold as ice as she stared at him. "I do not want your understanding or your empathy, is it so hard for you to realise you're nothing to me other than a possible tool to use against the king?" She pulled up her brow. She didn't want to hear this so called wisdom of his. She wanted her crown and her throne, if he could help her she'd pay him with whatever he wanted. If he could not help she'd take his head.

Her eyes followed the men listening to his words as he walked to the fireplace. "Don't ever even dare to compare yourself to me." She had to laugh shaking her head slowly. How could he even begin with saying she was as low as him? Had this man no respect for royalty. Royalty he seemed to admire and wish to protect? "There is no maybe. I will be queen. I will rule Valyra, the valley beyond the void and even these lands. I will turn the entire world to ash and dust if I decide that I want to. I am Dacosta Valyra Vynx Laendaerys, second of my name, heir to the throne of vallen skies and princess of the valley beyond the void. I will rule. And I will defeat those who stand against me. Now I give you one last warning. Do you stand against me. Or beside me?" She narrowed her eyes staring ice cold at him. She may not have any weapon on hand right now. But her voice ringed with pure fury. She would not allow him to speak this way to her. She would not allow him to disrespect her, god knew she had already been disresected enough.

"That man is no king, he's weak. He let love rule his heart, a witch take over the place where a rightfull queen used to sit and let his own two daughters be cast out. I am the only rightfull ruler at this point. The people back in Valyra know this. And you know this as well." She leaned back watching the flames nearly lick his skin and smirked soft somewhere hoping they'd grab him and pull him into the firy pits of whatever hell this man crawled out of. He was nothing more than scum. Even though her heart told her different. She could not listen. She could not accept the connection she felt with him. It was nothing more than lies and hormones taking control of her body. She was to be a queen. She could not be tempted by these feelings.

"How long before you tell them I'm here for some extra gold? That would be the better question." It was but a whisper comming from her lips as she leeaned a bit more to him before gasping and looking away as the man suddenly walked off again. God damn him, god damn all he did and all he thought he was. As he lit some candles and set next to her her heart sped up once more and she took shallow breaths listening to his words a slightly mocking grin forming on her lips. Was that really how he wanted to play this. "Arrogance comes in the package of being the future queen. What's your excuse. You're just as arrogant and bratty." She whispered leaning a bit to him and staring up into those cold blue eyes of his.

And in that moment she knew. She remembered. How the hell could she have forgotten. The emotionless voice. The strong arms. She knew him and he knew her. Her lower lip started to tremble as she layed a hand on his cheek. "That cannot.." She shook her head again and pushed herself up and away from the couch. "Larethian." Her eyes grew a bit wider. It had been years. Years since she last saw him. He left without a trace, she had been a brat. She never cared for him, well. She did. Hell she fantasized about the big strong guard who was always there to protect her. He had been her prince on a white stallion and she had forgotten about him. Had she banished him from her mind when she had gotten too scared he didn't care for her like everyone should. Had she forgotten to protect herself. Or had she just simply.. not cared for him.

Tears seemed to well up in her eyes staring at the man she knew, the boy she had loved as a child and the guardian she had dreamt of as a teenager. "You're a cruel man." She whispered again before falling through her knees and grabbing towards him. He had this whole night been speaking like a cold blooded person. Someone who'd be able to sell her out to the enemy or keep her locked away for his own pleasures while he was her protecter and guardian. Her Lareth.. How could she have forgotten..

  Her world seemed to crumble around her. Everything she knew and believed in slipped away as he showed her it was really him. A simple yes had been enough to break her but he buried her under ten meters of regret and pain in one sentence. How could she..

She had lived her life after he had dissapeared, never once seemed to regret not telling him how she had felt about him or why she always wanted him to be with her. At first she had cursed the feelings and told herself it had just been a childish crush. Off course it was. The man had been way older than her and a protector. He cared for her and kept her safe. Any young girl would mistake friendship for love especially at her age when hormones where just kicking in. But now standing here with him in front of her, she on her knees in tears, she knew the feelings had never been lies.

There seemed to be no life in her legs, or atleast no feelings at all. Her throat was dry and even swallowing didn't seem to fix that. She probably looked like a mess standing in front of a man with such weight in his look alone. She wanted to crumble back down, for the first time in her life not feeling all to high and mighty. "How do you think I feel seeing you after you abandoned me." She shot back at him her voice trembling with insecurity. This was not all right, this was not good. She was going to die right here and now if she couldn't stop herself from staring at him.

She turned her head grabbing her coat quickly. She needed to get out of here. She needed to leave and fast to get her head cleared again and to make sure she wouldn't fall for him. "You've changed and so have I. Off course I wouldn't recodnize a man with a heart as cold as yours." She hissed back again putting on her coat and walking towards the door.

"You have no shame do you?" She spoke softly but with a harsh undertone. Even if the door was not locked, even if she opened it. She couldn't leave. Not without atleast saying him how much he had ment for her and how much he had broken her heart when he dissapeared. But words could not flow over her lips. Certainly not those words locked away deep in the iron chest of her heart. So she turned back to him and stepped towards him. He was taller than she was but it didn't seem to matter, nothing seemed to matter anymore. She let her tears go, slipping down her cheek. "Lareth.."

In a moment she lost everything she was and everything she would be. Curling her arm around his neck and pulling him down towards her she planted her lips on his.

The taste of his lips seemed almost sweet This was what she had dreamt of as a little girl. This was her very first real kiss, and back in the days she had always wanted it to be with him. Later on she tried to think of princes and high born lords. Man that would meet up to the standard that he had placed. They never could reach it. But this man had taken everything and made it so much more important, so much more special for her. She wanted him, and he would give himself to her. Atleast for now. Atleast this evening, she'd trow all that she was away as he had said. And she'd show him how much he had ment for her. If only that could make up for all those years lost.

  He hurted her deeply with his words. Off course he did. She had no reply to them as she was sure every single one of his words was right and they hit the mark. But still it had been those words which had moved her towards him and kiss him.

If there was such a thing as sparks for a first kiss, this would be it. To be honest, it was her first kiss all together and she had only wanted it to be with him.

Her thick coat dropped off her shoulders as she pulled him closer towards her. She deepened the kiss opening her lips inviting him in as she leaned more against him.

It was weird. She had never expected this to be that way. To have him so close to her and never wanting to let go. Sure this would be what he wanted after all. He didn't want anything less than to ruin her and he officially just did so.

Slowly she pulled loose from him setteling herself down on her feet again as she had just pushed herself on her toes. It took her a minute to catch her breath again and slowly let her arms fall down her sides again pain visable in her eyes. "Don't.. Don't ever asume." She swallowed pain away staring up at him. "That I wanted you to be this way. I never wanted anything else than you to be happy and smile. I did not want you to be a killer or to kill anyone in our name. I did not, I never knew about it, don't lay that blame on me." She managed to whisper her blue eyes growing darker as she bit her lip. He had to understand. How much she felt for him. He had to understand that his words were breaking her and she wouldn't stand for it.

She felt a shiver running down her spine. Tears in her eyes burning her cheeks as they slowly dripped down. He seemed angry. His laugh unreal and his words frightened her. "Then what do you want Larethian.. What is it you want from me. For I cannot do a thing anymore now. I'm an orphin rejected by my own father. Cast out like a dog. I cannnot hold any value to you or to anyone anymore. They will not realise my value. Not untill it's too late already."

With each word she spoke she tried to grasp onto her own reality once more. She was a princess. A queen, but also a cast out. Fearfull and small. This man may as well be her only possible salvation. But he wouldn't help her. He wouldn't even try.

His words once again hit her. This time in a different spot. Her eyes grew a little darker as she grabbed him by his neck. Pushing him a bit more against the couch. "There has never changed anything about me. I am still me. I am more powerfull than any weapon, man or god. I am a dragon in human form and I will have what I want, when I want it Larethian Akesh. Do you understand this?" Cold were her eyes as she let her hand slide over his cheek. Pulling his chin to him. "I am only letting you in to my protective lines because I do love you." Narrowing her eyes she slapped his cheek before turning away from him and took a few steps back creating more distance between them. "But as you seem to reject this closeness I will no longer share it with you. Instead I'll rule you. And if you disobey I'll turn you to dust and ash as I will do to anyone who dares to oppose me."

Her voice trembled a bit with the power she put in to it laying an hand on his shoulder and pushing him down a bit. "Now. I'd suggest. You bow."
