Dath Dragnost
We have four new males...two from Wildands...2 loyalists...the third loyalist that should have been in our group...didn't make it across the foot bridge.
However our five new females made it...no surprise, as the females are usually more agile on their feet than the guys when it comes to balancing their way across. However...there is one stark, shining, silver haired, silver eyed surprise. Standing inches shorter than the rest. What in the fuck was Salayna Salt doing in the fucking Battle Guard halls as a fucking student. Was this a fucking joke?
"Look at her." Huffs Trystel Talisa...a third year female, that hails from my homeland of Corvosh.
"Why is SHE here?" Galyn Galstorm , another wild from Uresha stands beside me.
"Because of her daddy." Hisses Trystel.
I just stare at her. She was a fucking little mouse, among a den of vipers. She was going to get eaten alive.
"Apparently Saxon Salt even wants his own fucking daughter dead." Whispers Warrick beside me. I give a slight nod. Because this was a death sentence for her. Coming here, having the nerve to show her face in the Battle Guard looking like that...frail...weak...the daughter of the General who killed half of the Battle Guards parents and families, and marks us all like fucking cattle with brands to remind everyone we ultimately weren't to be trusted.
"Enough." Rylus Rainest growls from beside us, the other loyalists in our group coming up to us.
"She your type or something Rainest?" Malus, a wild from Uresha asks taunting him. I look to Rylus , his jaw setting. He says nothing. At that I cock a brow.
"If she IS Rylus..." I say. "Remember that it's strongly discouraged to fuck the first years." I remind him.
While there were no rules against it, it was "frowned" upon. It still happened of course. But mainly first years stuck to fucking their brians out with other first years, while second and third years mixed it up a bit more between the years.
"Daddys girl will need all the help she can fucking get." Hisses Galyn. "I wouldnt put it past her to fuck her way to safety with a group leader."
"I said..enough." Rylus snarls.
Gayln rolls her eyes, and I just watch Rylus as he looks out at the group of our new first years walking towards us. He's worried. Never good at hiding his fucking emotions like the rest of us, he's looking at her like it's his own sister , or ...
"Do you know her Rylus?" I ask.
His jaw clenches, his eyes turning to me. He doesn't want to answer. But as the acting captain of our group...no question of mine goes unanswered..ever.
"yes." he says barely audible. A few huffs from the Wilds among our group, his loyalist friends looking at him with surprise.
"You know the Generals daughter?" Helzier Hailtas a loyalist friend of his asks.
"She's a friend." He answers his question with more ease than mine.
"I bet she is...you fuck that little thing?" Galyn Galstrom asks, her red hair pulled back into a short ponytail.
He ignores her question, and I wish he wouldn't, because I'm interested in the answer for some fucking reason. But I dont force him to answer.
I turn my eyes to the girl with the long silver hair, pulled back into two tight braids down the back of her head, wearing tight black leather pants and black boots, a long sleeved black shirt, with a black leather vest, the same uniform the rest of them have changed into the Battle Guard's insignia on the right breast of their vest. Her lips lose their attempt at hiding her smile as she looks at Rylus.
He goes to her, prompting growls from the female Wild's in our group. Slight snarls from most of the males. I just stare in curiosity as he takes her hand, pulling her tiny frame from the group as we stand in the in the bottom hall of the group one wing.
"Excuse me." I say as I walk, following them. Slipping into the shadows. I could just make myself invisisble but I wont waste power on that, not for this. Instead I stick to the dark as I watch the two of them.
"Ryl-" Her smile and excitement is cut short.
"What the fuck are you doing here Salayna?!" he whisper shouts are her. "Are you trying to get yourself fucking killed!?" he snarls at her.
I watch her head jerk back, blinking up at him. Her lower lip quivers a moment.
"Wow...no I missed you first?" she says, her plump little pouty lips straightening as she glares up at him.
I watch Rylus shift, running a hand through his hair with a giant sigh.
"Of course I fucking missed you...I always fucking miss you" he says and then is grabbing his hair with both hands. "But fuck Salayna!"
"Just, fuck!" He almost yells and then pulls her into him, wrapping his arms around her, hugging her tightly, and her thin arms wrap around him.
"You cant fucking be here" he whispers to her, but I'm close enough to hear.
"I have to be...you know he wont allow me to be anywhere else but here." she says and dips her head as she steps back and their hugs ends as they stand there together.
"What happened to entering the School of Healers? Or teaching History? The things you've always wanted to do" he whispers.
"He told me a month ago Ry...a month ago. That's all the warning he gave me that if I was to enter for anything other than the Battle Guard, that he'd..." she trails off and shrugs.
"Who knows what he'd do...but I bet it's going to be the same outcome as here." she says grimly.
"We have to get you out of here." Rylus says and I cock my brow. Once a student submits themselves to the guard, there's no way out, other than death.
"It's too late Ry." she whispers.
"Salayna...you can't be here....they're....they're already fucking out to get you...they already hate you because of who your father is." He says.
"Thanks. I had no idea." she says, the little bite of sarcasm making my lips twitch as I watch her stare at him.
"I'll figure something out...I'll talk to the Master Guards" he says and she shakes her head.
"You know what my father would do to anyone that disobeyed him Ry...don't ask anyone to do me any fucking favors. They are already assuming I'm going to get handed shit because of him. " she says and then steps back closer.
"I've missed you so much." she says before he can say anything else, and the way she looks at him, I have to wonder if little Silver is more than just the "Friend" he claims she is.
"I've missed you too" he says and then pulls her in again to another hug. There's no kiss, no almost kiss, nothing. Maybe they really are just friends. But the way they look at one another, tells me that Rylus may just fuck a first year and break his "code of conduct" . The guy fucking probably jerks off to the rule book and conduct book.
"We have to get back....they already know we know each other...if I'm sneaking off with you...it will just make things worse...." he says and pulls back and she nods. "I'll go back first....just wait a minute or so." he says and then returns.
I watch her look up at the ceiling in the narrow hall and take a breath , rolling her neck and shoulders like she's about to enter a boxing ring. Fucking adorable. My urge to wring her neck fades juuuuust a little bit, when my head starts to send signals to my dick about what fun it would be to toss her around in my bed. As she starts to walk, I move from the dark and she stops, jerking back a step, eyes going wide.
"Hello...Silver." i say with a slight tip of my head to the side and lift a hand to the wall. "Are you hiding from me?"
