The Goddess Herself.

"Karisi..." you mumble out, your hand immediately going towards her head. Your fingers wrapping around her skull, pulling her into you, bringing her body into yours "I'm so glad you're okay." you fall into her form, hugging her body so dearly.

"Those warriors..." Karisi begins "Were pathetic." her arms on your shoulders slowly push your embrace away.

"Huh?" you question the Lady of Rathkin "What do you..."

"If I had a weapon, they would be dead." she glares into your eyes "They were slow, stupid and moronic." you see her eyes roll in her head "Just pathetic. The fact that they are your warriors...Darien, I'm disappointed."

It blew your mind, even though Karisi had a swollen lip, blood seeping with gravity, she still knew who was worthy of being a warrior and who was truly just a piece of shit.

"Karisi, are you okay?" your hand reaches back to her face, trying to cup her cheek.

"No need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing." she replies, once more her face moving away from your grasp.

"I heard...I heard after the escape they took away from your house. Your treasure. Your guards..." you look into her eyes with thought.

"Hah!" she laughs "They did." she says with a smirk on her face, showing her confidence that she always has "But a house and treasure doesn't make a women." she looks at you "There's a reason they kept me alive, kept me talking, kept my voice."

"Yeah but..."

"Don't worry about me, Darien." she grins your direction "I knew the possibilities that could happen after I helped you out before" she takes a breath "Let's just say I'm more valuable alive. I know nothing would happen to me."

"Karisi..." you groan out, happy to have her back "It's just..." you pause "I'm glad...I'm glad you're alive. I'm glad you're okay."

"That warrior who hit me." her hand reaches up, brushing a droplet of red liquid off her lip "Bring him to me." her eyes go narrow at yours.

"What? Why?" you begin.

"He backhand a defenseless women." she interrupts you "Give me a dagger and bring him to me."

You were the leader of the Syndicate, one of the strongest, most powerful warriors on the entire continent. But for some reason, this Lady of Rathkin, this women. She could tower over you. Just the command in her voice made you want to listen to her. "I don't know if I can do that for you, Karisi..."

"Darien" is all she says, her eyes narrowing at you.

You could only gulp down a giant wad of saliva as you looked back at her. You forgot how intoxicating Lady Karisi really was. The strength she showed, the power behind her voice, her take all attitude. You were so impressive, so strong, but still this single women, this one person who was currently a prisoner of the Syndicate, she was just so dominating and authoritative with her words.

"Darien..." her voice lowered with anger "Give me this warrior who hit me..." she glares at you.

Your power was fading as she gives you command "I don't..."

"Darien..." she whispers out "Bring me that warrior." her eyes tighten as she glares at you "Don't make me ask again."
