The Demon's Chosen(pafp,GxG,fem demon needed!)

(I am so sorry for the late reply, this week has been crazy)

The Queen laid in the bed her eyes following Amara’s every moment. Even though she was no doubt tired her eyes still seemed to hold the same edge they always did. Thana smiled a bit to herself seeing the dark flush on her cheeks seeming to know full well what she was doing to the Elf. Still, she seemed to be genuinely pleased when Amara accepted her offer. Giving a soft hum in response she closed her eyes as Amara left the room stretching out on to the bed.

Hearing the door open again she opened her eyes again to watch her make her way back across the room. The demon stayed silent as she laid herself down on the bed. “Of course, dear. I quite enjoy your company.” The Queen gave a sweeter smile her fangs becoming more visible now. She yawned lightly breaking her smile for a moment. Blinking her eyes she laid her head back against the pillow. Making herself comfortable she seemed to be ready to fall asleep before she suddenly opened her eye again seeming to remember something.

Yawning again she used her hand to hide it before pushing herself into a sitting position. Her dark studied Amara for a moment before she leaned down and planted a kiss on her cheek. “Good night.” Thana said softly before lowering herself back down to her pillow. Thana’s eyes slid closed again and after a couple of moments her breathing quieter as she started to drift off to sleep.

Thana had found herself sleeping relatively peacefully, still before any knock came at the door she found herself compelled to wake up. Slowly her eyes slid open blinking as she saw how close Amara's face was to her own. Blinking her eyes a soft smile played across her lips before she pushed herself up in the bed yawning a tiny bit. She didn't bother to wake up the Elf laying beside her thinking it better to let her rest. Pulling herself out of the bed Thana moved silently across the room after the adjusting the loose rob back over her shoulders. She glanced ocer her shoulder at Amara sighing softly. Sitting herself down on the vanity studying her own reflection touching her cheek as she saw the slight red tint to her cheeks.

Dropping her own hand she opened a drawer at the vanity pulling out the box that held the strange stone. Holding her hand over the box lid for a moment she closed her eyes and the box's exterior began to shift and morph as the she slowly pulled her hand away. The box's edges were now sealed completely besides a single opening that looked like a keyhole. Slowly she put the box up again.

Taking a brush out of drawer she started to brush it through her hair, smiling a little. As she hummed the tiniest bit the demon then set the brush down closing her eyes. She would have some time before the servants came to wake her.

The demon glanced at the Elf through the mirror. She hummed after a moment raising her hand to wave in return. "I'm sorry if I woke you dear." She said softly setting the brush down on the vanity. Her black eyes followed Amara as she stood up and came over to stand behind her. Thana was paying careful attention to her movements as she made her way over. A slight smile came over her features before going back to look back at her own reflection in the mirror. The Queen seemed to think for a moment running her fingers through her dark hair thinking for a couple heartbeats. There was an amused smile on her face hearing how curious Amara sounded.

"I am having an audience with Lady Aella this morning and then I must go oversee party preparations." She explained with a slight sigh not looking forward to what the day had to offer. There was a soft knock on her door. The demon turned to glance at the door for a moment fixing her rob on her shoulders. "Enter." She ordered simply as the door was slowly cracked open and a servant's face peaked through looking inside cautiously.

When the Queen waved them in three servants came bustling through the door. The Queen rose herself up as the servants came in with clothes for the Queen. "Would you like help getting ready?" Thana hummed to Amara before walking to stand behind the screen to change into the dress they had brought her. She threw the robe at one of the servant who fumbled to catch it and not let it hit the ground.

The Queen peaked around the screen watching Amara walk into the next room before finishing getting dressed herself. A long black dress that had a low cut 'v'. It was as lavish as any of her other gowns. Her heels were the only noise in the room as she sat down and the servants buzzed around her putting the finishing touches before they were gone again without much of a word. Thana ran a hand through her sheer black hair studying her high ponytail in the mirror. Moving her eyes back to door that Amara had disappeared into. She smiled at the Elf stepping away from the mirror.

"If I am being entirely honest there is nothing I am dreading more then meeting with Lady Aella." Thana admitted now that they were alone. She didn't feel like letting rumors get spread around even though she made her distain to the Lady very well known. Clapping her hands briefly she gave Amara one more look. "Are you ready to go my dear?" She asked with a light smile on her lips before making for her way to the doors. Clasping her hands in front of her she made her way out in the hallway. She paused briefly before advancing down the winding hall. She held her head up high quietly humming to herself as walked.

She stopped as a large set of a dark colored doors seemed to pull themselves open. A tall thin woman appeared from out of the darkness. She had a thin face with an unpleasant air to her. She curtsied to the Queen frowning a little when she glanced at Amara before she walked forwards to stand beside Thana. "Good morning Your Highness. I am glad to have the chance to speak with you." The lady attempted to smile although it was useless since she had sharp sheer teeth hidden beneath her usual frown. "Of course Lady Aella." Thana didn't smile in return instead just walking ahead.

Thana briefly glanced over her shoulder to Amara, her features softening a touch before she turned back around when the Lady's shrill voice came again drawing her attention again. "Your Grace, don't you think its time for some progress to be made? We have been too soft on the mortals." She stated it as if it was a simple fact and there was no question about it. Lady Aella then looked to the Queen's other side to Amara her mouth twisting into a disapproving frown. Thana slowly turned to look at the demon her dark eyes holding an edge. "You think I am too soft on them do you? What sort of progress would you want to make?" She questioned with a critical undertone.

"Raiding for mere energy sour-" The Lady cut herself short glancing between the Queen and the Elf clearing her throat before starting right back up again. "Raiding for resources. Instead we should be working to show our dominance to this puny creatures." Aella said with full confidence in her words. Thana halted in her steps clasping her hands in front of her together deadly calm at the moment.

"I'm sorry to say, but I am not going to change my policy. Things are fine as they are so, I will not change things now." The Queen resumed walking again frowning again when she heard the hurried footsteps of Aella still following after her. Narrowing her eyes a little the Queen looked ahead trying to ignore the demon since she had become quite the annoyance to her already. Standing tall she sighed hearing Aella continue to yammer on about other issues she felt were dire to be celebrated.

The exchange was grating on the demon queen who’s eyes were narrowed to slits as she stared ahead while the woman continued to talk, talk of change, talk of bettering the lives of demon kind. It all sounded very noble, but it was all growing rather urksome to Thana. Still she managed to resist the urge to immediately end the conversation until

Aella started to drift her conversation slowly back towards the prisoners that had been brought back from the mortal world. “Just exterminate them all...” the thin demon’s words hung in the air as Thana stopped again. The demon queen’s mouth fell into a sharp jagged line and she briefly glanced back at Amara before gently seizing the girl’s wrist and bringing her closer. Her eyes were turning crimson red as she turned back to the lady who now seemed to know she had taken a step over a line she shouldn’t have cross in the first place.

“Repeat that again for me.” She said with a frigid tone. Aella cleared her throat trying to by herself a little bit of time before having to open her mouth again. “Maybe it would be better if you disposed of the less useful ones at least.” It was a timid squeak compared to her high pitche she had before. Thana gave a short humorless laugh. “You are more then right.” She looked to the ground her finger tracing a line towards the ground. There was a slight groaning from the stone as it started to crack and sprinter a large straight crack forming right under Aella’s feet. The demon jumped back as Thana quite literally drew a line. “Aella, sweetling, your heart is in the right place, but nothing else is. Stop wasting my time to run your mouth.” The rock gave another groan as the crack grew wider.

The queen turned herself away still holding on to Amara’s wrist to make sure that she did not end up being pulled into the growing hole in the floor. The demon stepped away blinking as her eyes slowly started dissolve back into the dark color they normally were. “Are you alright?” She asked to Amara glancing down the hall as Aella struggled to try and seal up the crack that was growing wider and wider and inched closer every step she scrambled back. Thana sighed a little waiting a few more moments before turning to continue walking away. Waving her hand in the air the crack slowly disppeared restoring itself back to normal as soon as Thana had left the hall.

Thana couldn’t help, but smile a tiny bit to herself as she looked towards the elf. Rolling her eyes she gave a cautious look over her shoulder as if she expected to see Lady Aella make another appearance, but she sighed when she saw that she had stopped following them. ”I would love to simply sew her mouth shut or something. Then at least I wouldn’t have to listen to constant yammering.” She muttered mostly to herself. That was the problem with politics was mixed with powerful magic, it wasn’t considered proper to silence the opposition, publicly anyway. Her heels clicked with each step she took. Shaking her head the ribbon tying up her hair swayed with it. “It’s done now. What I have left on my schedule isn’t quite as bad.” She hummed as she started to walk again noticeably having much more energy to each step. Now that her most dreaded appointment for the day was over she was dreading the rest of day much less.

“My dear Amara, how do you feel about parties?” She asked ideally as she continued to loop through the halls. It almost seemed like the halls seemed to sprout off into more and more hallways, as if there was a never ending maze of them. The Demon Queen enjoyed the brief respite before she a purple ball of light caught her eye. Sighing she stopped opening her hand for the light to fall into. It unfolded itself to reveal the image of another demon looked nervously around. “Your Majesty please hurry, we are at a loss of what should be done.” The creature fretted ringing their hands together as they spoke. Thana nodded. “I will be there in a moment.” She reassured before turning to look at Amara still holding the glowing purple light.

“Would you like to hold it?” She offered the elf, her tone much softer and gentler then when she was speaking to her servants or Aella. The servant still projecting out of the orb had a quite confused look on her face. Thana caught the flicker of movement and touched finger to it, the demon disappearing leaving only the purple light. “It’s for communication. It of course isn’t supposed to be used for frivolous things like this, but others don’t think of parties as anything less then a life or death game.” Thana shook her head before turning to offer the orb to Amara.

( I am so sorry about the late reply, life kept getting really busy lately)

Thana had already turned to look further down the hall to where she could see servants buzzing about. She hummed lightly not acknowledging Amara’s question for a moment before she registered the concern in her tone. Glancing back she wore an amused smile on her thin lips. “A game of life or death, not actually of course. Some just treat it as such.” The Demon Queen offered a reassuring smile before glancing back down the hall. “We will make it fun one way or another.” Taking her hand she gave it a very light squeeze before she slowly turned around to look down the hall. “We should probably go before something blows up.” With the nonchalant answer she turned around, in fact she almost sounded enthusiastic about the idea of something actually exploding. She hoped that it would at least be a bit more lively that way.

As she walked her smile dropped and she became much more somber. A group of servants came bustling from a large set of black and red double doors. They halted seeing the Queen stopping to bow to which she only nodded. Moving into the masssive ballroom she stepped into the low lit room. It was a dark deep cavern although there were demons moving about without trouble. Sighing to herself she stepped inside the clicking of her heels echoing and bouncing off the walls. Serval heads swiveled aroound to stare at the Queen as she came in.

She paused briefly glancing back to the elf. “A little drab isn’t it?” She looked up to the dark walls and the high ceiling. She halted as the same nervous servant appeared in front of her bowing before quickly rising. “I’m sorry to rush you. You input is needed.” He stood up and hurried across the room while Thana strolled across the room at her own leisurely pace.
