Chapter 9 | Shifters and pirate lords
~•~
Bria Farren
(3rd Person)
~•~
Bria Farren descended on the stairs of an old tavern. She had been asked to meet by Prince Terrwyn.
Terrwyn having contacted her weeks earlier in order to strike a deal with her and her tribe.
The Tavern itself was a small business, used as a front in order to divert eyes from the corruption that would often take place withing the room beneath the Tavern itself.
The Tavern had only one entry point, two windows and an underground chamber dug out for the Noblemen who dealt in illegal business practices.
B
ria Farren's curiosity grew, having only been informed on who would be joining their little get together moments prior to arriving.
The Bastard Prince walked ahead of her group, his captain of the guard walking beside him and a nobleman by the name of Cillian Nox on the other.
Both would be branded as traitors to the crown should his Highness's plan fail.
It made the game all too amusing to Bria who cared little for the kingdom that kept her people away.
The pirate captain and his right hand walled a little further back from the bastard Prince.
He and the woman more wary than any else as they descended the stairs.
Bria should have been wary too, if she had, had any cares to give perhaps the woman would have been.
But the shifter woman only smiled feral and bright, her eyes alight with a wicked gleam as she prepared to fight her way through the group.
The black haired witch beside her, walked stone faced, her hand resting upon the sword she had brought with.
Bria smirked, they had come to an agreement moments before meeting with the prince outside the rundown Tavern.
Should it all go to Demos's dark rhelm, Bria would help the witch as the witch would help her.
They were not so loyal to the cause to follow a fool.
Arie had told Bria of the mortal woman she would soon meet, told her not to underestimate the human. Bria would have laughed, had she not seen the wound on the witches stomach.
A scar she would not soon be rid of.
Bria was intrigued, as she stepped through the door and into the space beyond.
A large round table stashed neatly in the middle of the room where a white haired woman sat facing the door, with a shit eating grin etched upon her face and a glint of amusement alight in her eyes.
"You're late" the woman drawled to the prince.
"I do believe I've arrived on time" the prince foolishly answered.
He had not understood what the white haired woman meant, did not understand that she had perhaps arrived earlier to get a feel for the place.
And had noticed not a single ally to the prince prowling about.
A mistake on the Prince's part as he was now surrounded by criminals.
For the prince was dealing in illicit deals and now stood at a disadvantage.
Bria doubted the woman had come alone, and now wished she had asked the Tavern keeper if he had gained any new customers in the two days since Aria had delivered the invitation.
Bria's smile widened from amusement. She had a feeling she would get along well with the white haired woman.
"Do not worry woman, the prince has come more than prepared" The pirate captain spoke, gaining the attention of the white haired woman.
Her beautiful blue eyes narrowed upon the young captain, her eyes evaluating the threat before amusement shone bright in her eyes as she moved them to gaze upon the prince.
"My, what fine company you keep Prince" her voice mocking and cold.
Bria did not understand why the hair on the back of her neck rose, did not understand why she thought the woman a threat but as those pretty blue eyes lost interest in the prince and gazed upon her, Bria found the woman terrifying.
It was a thrilling feeling.
Her eyes held curiosity as she asked "what animal prowls beneath that beautiful skin?"
Bria smirked "A wicked beast" she answered with amusement.
Elliza's answering smile was not short of being terrifying.
"Do you enjoy wasting my time?" The prince drawled out. And the room froze as the white haired woman malicious smile turned toward Terrwyn.
A promise of death in her eyes as she opened her mouth...
