The figure stood before the brazier, massive and knotted with muscle. His eyes shone fiercely as he stared at the single figure blocking his entrance to the temple. "My father sends a Mortos?" Akiko raised her eyebrows. "One of my father's trained bodyguards....just for me?" "Princess," The man's voice was a deep, like a growling beast. "You're father commands that you return to the palace. You must leave this place and return now." "If I do," Akiko's eyes narrowed. "You will spare this place?" The Mortos slowly shook his head. "This place is to be emptied. Your teacher and all his students must perish." "At your hand?" she replied. "Those are my orders, Princess," The Mortos growled. "Even you cannot change them." Akiko's eyes darkened. "I cannot allow that." "You cannot prevent it, Princess." Akiko drew her weapons. "My Master said I had one final lesson left to learn," Akiko replied. The Mortos's meaty fingers flexed on the hilts of his swords. "If that is the Princess's wish," He replied. "Your father said he wanted you returned. He did not require you be brought back alive." Akiko's eyes narrowed and a sly smile began to appear on her lips. The Mortos understood the inevitability of what was to come. "Very well, Princess," his growling voice bacame bestial and his eyes blazed. "Let your lesson begin." Character - Sabby's Akiko (freebie) Outfit - Nia Altair
