    The Empire The Blight Below

    "If only all were so willing." Sultry, smooth velvet filled the air. It was not like a song, but it was beautiful and full, strong and soft. It passed through her lips as sweetly as honey with a smile and a hum. She approached, her body adorned in black cloth and many jewels - and yet hardly...

    The Empire The Sifting Sands

    Safiya did little to hide her enjoyment, leisurely partaking of the generous feast that the empress-regent had seen prepared for them, and more specifically their guest. But it took little time for her enjoyment to be sullied. The wretched little vermin that Theodore seemed so frustratingly...

    Safiya's lips followed after Theodore's with a longing gasp as he pulled away. Then, with a cat-like essence in her movements she withdrew, both feet coming daintily together and her fingers lacing themselves behind her waist as she turned to Medja while she addressed them, albeit only after a...

    The Empire The Sifting Sands

    If Safiya were the spider, spinning her ensnaring web, then Medja was the branch where which she wove. At her Empress' whim her silken strands shuddered, pulling prey straight into the spider's grasp. Were there enough time, her pursed, half bitten lips would have formed into a sly smile, but...

    "Hungry," she echoed, her voice low, "why yes, quite so in fact. I'm sure that the lady Medja too has developed an... appetite. But my dear Theodore, you haven't," she stepped, "answered," and another, "my question." Her final step brought her so close to Theodore as to nearly graze against...

    "Do keep an eye out, will you?" Though Safiya's response was only silence to Medja's ears, her focused stare upon Theodore and the lingering smile lifting her lips was evidence enough that the order had been heard loud and clear. Boring, was a relative term. In the months following the...

    The Empire The Sifting Sands

    Safiya's smile lingered as the events unfolded before her eyes. She could hardly believe how many details this apparent scholar had so conviently overlooked, and then choose to actually divulge. She covered her lips with her fingers as she stifled an amused giggle, and then shifted her eyes to...

    "Foolishness," she echoed, her words passing through a smile, "careful my dear scholar, we can all be very, very good friends." Her smile deepened some, and her eyes fell down his figure and then slowly traced his lines back up to rest again on his eyes. She didn't feel the need to say much...

    "...Excavation should prove mundane, I should think." Her lips slowly curled into a smile. Did the Empress Regent just commit to undertaking this task herself? There were many geomancer's at the Empire's disposal, but to declare such a colossal task as excavating even a portion of a city as...

    "I'd heard..." a hushed voice started up from behind the bar where the two were talking, thick with the local accent, "...I heard something about a month ago..." Safiya's brow slowly began to raise. She turned in place and cast Arash a playful smile as she did so, making her shift in attention...

    The Empire The Sifting Sands

    Ever since the assembling of the Cabal by the now Empress Regent Medja, Safiya had never been shy in her fondness for the emerald eyed beauty. Her lips pursed in wordless reply to Medja's smile. Her eyes slid down the length of her as she drew herself nearer, all the while Theodore briefed them...

    With a dipped chin and a lifted eyebrow she turned her eyes upon him, feigning amusement with his little trick. In truth she was hardly impressed - she'd simply seen too much by now for such innocence - but his last words did align with what she was after here. Opportunity. She'd come here in...

    The Empire The Sifting Sands

    Akka-Yur was a name hardly foreign to her ears. She and those like her were well acquainted with the story and mystery of the fabled place and its king, but even they had long ago dismissed it as nothing more than that: a fable. In fact, they had even come to see it as perhaps some kind of...

    She was not ignorant of the man as he approached her, but her eyes showed not sign of leaving the table where the two business partners were engaged in their dealings. She wanted to speak to one of them, she was just not exactly sure which one yet. But her elven ears served her well, and she'd...

    The Empire The Cold Night | Outskirts

    The door opened with a long creak, and within there was a narrow corridor leading to a grander room beyond. The hallway was dimly lit, and it smelled as though that was on purpose. Interesting, she thought to herself, that she would be led to enter in through the side door. Nevertheless, she...
