Yuurei was by their side as well as they walked into the building. As the prince, there were no strings that needed pulling, a demand would suffice every time. A lot of the people knew Yuurei too, cheering as he walked alongside the nobles for he was the most famous mage in Fiore. "How are you feeling?" Khalfani asked Yuurei. The bride on their arm had been smiling and speaking to some of the commoners who had called out to her. Both wore matching outfits. Khalfani wore a white skin tight shirt cut open around the torso, their golden crown sat comfortably atop their head. Nuru wore a white silk dress, her crown forged from twigs and dipped in gold sat atop hers.

Their arrival was quick and after all the nobles before them would go, it would be their turn. It was nighttime, so even though it was hot, it wasn’t the same heat he would feel in the morning. He wore a specific attire, which he enjoyed how it made him feel. It wasn’t every day he dressed this way, and he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to dress for this event. Renji was walking on his side as he was Yuurei’s plus one.
While walking through the area, it would seem there were people cheering for him. He would wave at them and smile at everyone. The light mage did forget that he was known throughout the world. It was something he was expecting the day he left the forest. While moving he would look over to Khalfani as they had asked him a question.
“I’m feeling fine. I haven’t dressed like this since I was in Blue Pegasus.” He said as he spun around and kept walking.
“How are you two feeling?” He would ask Khalfani and Nuru.

The aroma of the Desiertan dished filled the air, elegant music was performed by a live band on the stage at the other side of the room. It was exactly what you'd think the inside of a fancy dinner party would look. Khalfani enjoyed the finer things in life, but this was just...boring to them. "Hm. I don't know why I expected more.." they said, almost disappointed. It was odd. Despite the fact that this was Khalfani's country, they felt like a stranger in the room. Nuru slipped her arm from under Khalfani's before turning to the two. "There's someone here that I need to talk to. You three, behave. Something tells me you're just trouble waiting to cause a mess." The Lady looked at Yuurei a little longer. There was this twinkle in her eyes that Khal wanted to erase from their memories. They raised an eyebrow. Nuru turned and walked away gracefully to talk to whoever the fuck. "Did my soon to be wife just flirt with you in front of me?"

While they walked inside, Nuru would leave them after Khalfani expressed his disappointment in this event tonight. The Nephilim would chuckle a bit as he was hoping that wasn’t the case tonight. He would look over to Khalfani when he asked him a question, and it would bring Yuurei to chuckle and rub the back of his head.
“Hm I don’t know. It seems to me that she just wanted us to stay out of trouble.” He said as he looked at the food.
“I know you don’t want to be here, but indulge me with the finer food the people of Desierto enjoy eating.” He said doing his best to change the subject about his wife looking at him a certain way.
Renji would look over to the food area and his eyes were closed from the aroma.
“Yeah, I would like to enjoy some food tonight. I love Yuurei’s food, but if he can get something to eat here, then he could learn how to make it.” He said as he was hoping they had a lot of food that taste as good as they smell.

"Alright, let's go eat. I gotta warn ya though, the food is usually extra spicy." they said as they began to walk over towards the far left to the food table. "And she was definitely flirting with you." Khal would nudge Yuurei playfully. Soon the trio would be at the dinner table. Platters of all kinds of Desiertan dishes took up a row of four tables. It was so much food that it may have been overkill. There were people outside of this tower, some were starving, but most couldn't afford any of the food in here. Khalfani wasn't going to complain though, they planned on changing things when they became ruler. "Oh my..." they whispered as they joined the end of the line. It was a long fucking line. So long, that Khalfani wasn't too keen on waiting, especially not if these pricks got to eat first.
Sun May 01, 2022 11:08 pm
“We can talk about me being head of the kitchen department later. I usually go in there and make my own food anyways.” He chuckled a bit because it was the truth.
When Khalfani was down to eat, he would warn them and Yuurei would bite his bottom lip for a second.
“That’s good so they use spices in their meal. This is going to be delicious then.” He noted.
While they would move, he would feel Khalfani nudge him before bringing it up again. It would cause the half-elf to become a bit flustered.
“She is beautiful, but that’s going to be your future wife, so I wouldn’t even.” He said to Khalfani as they got to the dinner table.
Okay, they didn’t get to the dinner table, but they were in the line. He could see all the food from here, and his mouth would become watery. He would swallow his saliva and he would look ahead of the line wondering if these people were going to move faster. It would seem like Khalfani wasn’t pleased with this. Renji, on the other hand, was surprised to see so many people before them. They couldn’t see the food though, so they looked at Yuurei.
“Pick me up. I want to see what they have, so I can decide on what to eat.” He said to Yuurei.
The Nephilim would smile at his friend as he would pick him up and onto his shoulder. Renji would be able to see everything now, and he was amazed at all the food that was set out for them to eat. Yuurei would look over to Khalfani and he figured he would ask him what was on his mind.
“So how did you and Nuru end up engaged?” He asked curious to hear Khalfani’s story as the line would slowly move.

Suddenly the people on the line turned around and were met with khalfani's gaze. It was gentle, yet uncomfortably menacing. They seemed to have no idea that the Prince and their friends were the last in line. Most of them were surprised and quickly stepped aside, the other merely bowed and backed away graciously. With a nod Khalfani used their head to motion for Yuurei and Renji to follow them to the front of the line. This is why having power was...well...powerful? You could do things like this by simply just clearing your throat. The folks watched as the trio walked past, wondering how Yuurei, someone who obviously wasn't Desiertan, would be skipping all of them. The Light Bringer asked about the marriage, and Khalfani merely shrugged as they pointed to the food they wanted. The chef picked up a chicken breast smothered in Halal sauce. There was falafel, fried Kibbeh, Kababs, the whole nine. Most emanated a dramatic amount of heat, but Khalfani loved spicy foods and that they knew Yuurei did too they were certain he would enjoy.
"I'm a Godsblood Royal, potential candidate to be ruler of this country and she's one of the 8 Guardians with the Essence of Earth. The other Guardians are symbols of each element, Nuru can control them all. She's the most powerful Guardian and it's taboo to harm her. The Pharaoh thought it best to secure power this way. Tradition, politics, and all that. I hate that I have to do it, but I understand it." They said as they pointed to another food, finally moving down to pick from the other selections. "We only just met yesterday, heh." They said before turning to Yuurei. "I appreciate you coming by the way.
Sun May 01, 2022 11:45 pm
The Nephilim would wave at everybody when they looked at the group. He had a huge smile on his face as they stared at them. It wouldn’t take long but he would see Khalfani motion him to follow behind them. He, of course, wouldn’t hesitate to do so. He would look at everyone as they were looking at them. He could see that they weren’t happy with moving to the side for him and Renji, but Yuurei didn’t care about that.
He would watch Khalfani choose their meal, and this was the time when Khalfani would find out. Yuurei was a fat ass, and he would start pointing at everything he saw. Renji would keep his chin up because he felt like a king with how they moved out of the way. He also knew that Yuurei was going to be sharing his plate with him as well.
The chef was surprised that this guy wanted so much food, but he was a chef and he couldn’t help but try and devour it all. While he was waiting for his stuff to be given to him, he would listen to Khalfani speak. He would nod when he heard his friend showing that he understood them and their words.
“Ah don’t mention it. I’m actually happy to be here. I enjoy learning about new things. Shoot I would love to learn how to speak in the Desierto native tongue.” He said as he would think about what to say next.
“So, you two met yesterday. Here I thought she was an old friend or something. That is interesting to see, I wondered if that is how they did things where I lived. Still, to secure her power and make sure nobody tries to take it for themselves is quite the responsibility. Of course, I’m glad to help out in any way I can.” He said to Khalfani as Yuurei would see that his plates were almost done being filled.

Yuurei continued. All this time Khalfani had only known that they were an Elf but they hadn't even bothered to ask about their other cultural heritages. "I'm sure they do. It's kinda the way of the world, unfortunately. Hopefully your family never marries you off. I'm sure your eyes are set on Haru." Khalfani placed a piece of chicken in their mouth with a devilish smirk on their face. They enjoyed teasing Yuurei, he was easy-going enough to handle it. The chicken was so savory, juicy it fell so easily off the bone. The Prince had to finish chewing before continuing with what they wanted to say. "Yeah. Depending on how things go from here on out I might have to step down as co-" Khalfani couldn't even finish what they were about to say. In the span of about half a second the middle of the hall exploded, causing the entire building to tremble and the plate of food they were holding to fall flat onto the floor beneath them. Immediately screams of shock laced with hints of fear filled the air.
The Dragon Slayer turned quickly to face the source of the boom only to see hooded figures erupt from the ground using metallic retractable wire. The back of their cloaks sported a symbol "????" and the Royal Desiertan immediately knew what it meant. Guards quickly ran gathered Lady Nuru who had been on the opposite side of the room, the rest of the guards immediately ran to aid the other nobles and wealthy folk. Khalfani watched for a moment as the men got in position, aiming their weapons and gauntlets at the nobles. "My...my food..." Khalfani twitched as a couple of guards would approach the trio. One of the guards tried to grab Khal to bring them along. "Your Highness, follow-" Khalfani slapped their hand away. "They dropped.." Suddenly scales began to form all over their body, their eyes slit down the middle and a golden aura began to surround them.
"My Chicken..."
The Prince would raise their hand towards the group, readying an attack. "Your Highness plea-" One of the Knights of Duat shot a lightning bolt at the guards head, sending him through a window. Pieces of the building fell as men and were getting slaughtered left and right, but Khalfani's chicken didn't deserve any of this.

Their conversation, however, was cut short. The berserker’s guard would come straight up as he looked in the direction of the explosion. It would seem like the unexpected happened and people were here to crash the party. His eyes looked at the cloaked figures as it seemed like they were here for a specific reason. It would seem like Khalfani was angry especially since their meal had fallen to the floor. Renji was fuming because he didn’t even get to eat, and Yuurei was upset because they made everyone here waste food.
“Renji if you can please.” He said to his partner as he would open a bag and a gauntlet would appear on Yuurei’s right arm.
He looked over to Khalfani and saw that their soft skin was taken over by scales. It reminded him of another person who did something similar around him once. Yuurei figured if he was going to go through such length because of his chicken, then either these guys were no joke, or they were going to be slaughtered.
Yuurei open his hands and there he revealed two magic circles floating into the air. Stars would come out of each circle before they entered Yuurei. While all of this was happening, Yuurei’s eyes would become golden, and wings would sprout from his back as he was looking at the group of cloaked figures killing people without remorse.
“How can you waste food like that?” He said as he took off to one of the cloaked figures.
The man would see Yuurei’s approach too late. They would his jab but would meet the Nephilim’s leg as it would send him flying into a wall. When this happened Yuurei would adjust himself in the air while Renji held onto his shoulder. He would look around to see if Nuru was okay and try to see what these people were truly after.

Lady Nuru luckily escaped quick enough with the rest of the guards although Khalfani hadn't known. In all honesty, in this very moment, they didn't give a shit about Lady Nuru. The food, guys. The food was the only thing that mattered. Yuurei was so furious that he took the initiative to begin the bloody battle. People had been getting tanked left and right but Khal knew that they'd live to see the next day. There was absolutely no way that such swine would take any of them out, including Renji the exceed. Khalfani pointed their finger towards the left side of Yuuri where about fifteen of them would be. They seemed to be looking for someone specific but surprisingly it wasn't Khalfani. It wouldn't make sense because they were standing right there. It could have been a noble as well, but the only person that would matter is Nuru. Nuru was the strongest person at this entire party, even stronger than Yuurei. Despite the fact that she couldn't control her abilities enough to consciously be of use, if Nuru was enraged or in some sort of trance she could potentially wipe out the entire kingdom.
Khalfani shot a single spell towards the area, upon impacting one of the dark knights it exploded, frying all of them on the spot. Rage. The mysterious voice in their head said. Rage, Khalfani. it said again. The Lion ignored it. RAGE! it boomed. And they did just that. Suddenly Khalfani began swinging and pointing, unleashing spell after spell after spell. They were no longer in control, completely blanked out as they fired off towards the center of the building. It didn't matter who was there, they would face Khalfani's wrath one spell after the other. Some of the Knights made it out of the way in time, others did not and would die instantaneously. The Lion clenched their jaws, firing off even as their mana had been being drained by the second. None of it mattered right now because Khalfani was no longer Khalfani. This was a mindless being, an angry god, and everything would feel their wrath. It was then that Nuru found her way back into the building after running from the guards. She slipped behind Khalfani before placing her hands upon their temples.
"Enough." She said, putting him to sleep, ending the senseless onslaught of attacks.

“Let’s do this.” He said as he would flap his wings and rush straight towards the people he would be taking care of.
The light mage would end up in the middle of all of them. They were surprised by Yuurei’s sudden appearance. It made them nervous and the fear they felt within their body was something else. He would look at them all, and he would sigh it was time to unleash his attacks on them. Two people would meet their defeat at Yuurei’s hands first. He would grab two of the cloak figures by their face and he would slam them down. The ground beneath them would crack as he stood in the air the entire time.
The other twelve would rush straight towards him but knowing that they would jump him Yuurei would fly up in the air to look at them. His back close to the ceiling, he would push towards them and would land a right hook into the third’s face. He heard the footsteps of someone coming to his right and he would parry the punch and counter with a quick jab of his own. He would send that person flying straight to the wall as they fell.
Yuurei kept himself in the air and he would see them rushing straight toward him. They were all trying to attack him one after the other, but Yuurei would continue to dodge the attacks. He figured he would make quick work of these guys. He glanced at Khalfani and it seemed like something was off with how they fought right now. Yuurei felt as if they had lost control, but he wasn’t sure.
This brought him to parry the incoming attacks of the remaining eleven cloaked figures in front of him. While he did that, he would counterattack each and every one of them. The half-elf was strong enough to take them out in one punch as they would either fall to the ground or be sent flying from the impact. Yuurei kept doing this until there were all done and for the count. When he was done with his fight, he would look over to Khalfani.
It seemed like they didn’t care what they were destroyed at this point, but it would all come to an end. He noticed Nuru had come back and out of nowhere and put the man to sleep with a touch. Yuurei was impressed with her, and he would land on the ground as he walked over to Nuru.
“Impressive, Nuru.” He would say this to her as his wings would disperse, and his eyes would change back to their former colors.
Yuurei would pick up Khalfani, and he would look around at the damage they caused.
“Now it really looks like I won’t be able to eat everything here.” He said as he shook his head.

"Thank you. I'm afraid it's all I could do, unlike you. I don't know what any of that was about, but thank you for saving us all M'lord." She pushed her hair behind her air. Yuurei was a bit upset that he didn't get a chance to enjoy that tower of a plate. With a gentle and graceful smile she spoke. "Nonsense. I'll tell you what, let's bring the Prince home to the Villa where they can rest and I'll have them make you a grand meal. Maybe we can become...acquainted in the process." She smirked, subtly batting her eyes. She was hinting at something and whether or not Yuurei understood was on her. Either way, she would begin to lead the way out of the tower before it all fell to pieces and smashed them all to bits. At that point nobody would be eating anything.
