OMG I WANT LARXENE/NARISSA, WHY.
“Get your hands away from that!”
Larxene’s outstretched hand paused inches above the surface of the water, and she glanced up over her shoulder to examine who had just shouted at her.
“How did you get in here?” the woman demanded, heavily shadowed eyes narrowed in disapproval. “Nathaniel!”
“That little pipsqueak? Oh, don’t bother calling for him. He’s busy,” Larxene informed her nonchalantly, finally pulling her hand back.
If possible, the woman’s expression became a tad more annoyed.“What have you done with Nathaniel?”
“Nothing too bad,” Larxene answered coyly, holding up a gloved hand. “I’ll give you five guesses.”
“I won’t play your silly games,” replied the brunette coldly. “I am not fond of intruders.”
Larxene pouted playfully. “Look, it seems like we got off on the wrong foot.” She grinned, holding out her hand. “I’m Larxene. It’s so joyously wonderful to meet you. I’m simply all aglow.”
The regal-looking woman snorted, then cleared her throat somewhat embarrassedly. “Charmed,” she replied, not shaking Larxene’s hand. “You have the pleasure of addressing Queen Narissa of Andalasia.”
Whistling, Larxene stuck her hands on her hips, striding away from the pool of water she had been previously occupied with. “Queen, eh? So you’re running this place.”
“I am in charge, yes,” Narissa said suspiciously. She watched Larxene amble towards her with a look of someone ready to strike at any moment, if need be. She had dealt with assassins in the past; this one couldn’t be very good, if she got distracted by a simple pool of water.
“It’s a bit drab down here,” Larxene commented, gesturing at their cavernous surroundings. Not that she could talk — she lived in what was essentially a giant white maze. “Not very royal, is it?”
Narissa raised a slender eyebrow at the blonde. “I don’t exactly stay down here the entire time.”
Larxene shrugged, stopping a decent distance from where Narissa stood. “Whatever works for you.” Cocking her head to the side slightly, she scrutinized the queen for a moment. “Come on, can’t you relax? I won’t kill you, you know.”
“I can’t very well trust you, now can I?” Narissa replied with a tight smile. “Especially when you’re grinning like that.”
“Grinning? Oh, that’s nothing,” Larxene said, shrugging again. “I was just thinking about how female rulers are just so much better than male ones. Tell me — ” She took a couple steps closer “ — have you ever met a king who wasn’t a dimwitted warmonger?”
Narissa nearly smirked. Nearly. “It sounds like you might possibly be a little biased.”
“Naw, I’ve just known some idiotic men.”
Narissa pursed her lips, expression still wary. “Despite your friendly banter, I’m having a hard time believing your being here is completely genial.”
“I was just in the neighborhood, you know how it is.” Larxene glanced at Narissa, and amended amusedly, “Or maybe you don’t.”
“I’m afraid I don’t get out as much as I used to,” Narissa pointed out tersely. “Comes with the job.”
“Well then have I got the offer of the century for you,” Larxene crowed, grin becoming wider as she spoke.
Narissa said nothing, only continued to watch the Savage Nymph. Larxene took this as the sign to keep going (not that she would have stopped if the women had protested).
“You see, I work for a very prestigious group,” Larxene explained, slowly closing the distance between her and Narissa. “And I have been employed for the purpose of recruiting. It gets boring at times, you can see.” She stopped walking once more, holding up her hands in an apologetic gesture. “But sometimes I find the perfect candidate.”
It happened in an instant: one moment they were standing still, the second four knives were flying through the air, Larxene already conjuring up more before they hit. Her smug expression, however, vanished just as instantly when she realized her kunai had been deflected.
Narissa’s mood had most definitely taken a turn for the worse. With a flick of her hand, she let off a blast of green sparks, slamming Larxene back against the wall.
Swearing loudly, Larxene leapt to her feet, fingertips flickering with her own electricity. It wasn’t any use, unfortunately, as Narissa had taken the brief interlude to transform into a dark-colored dragon, and the yellow lightning had little effect.
Larxene quickly decided to change tactics. Running for the dragon queen, she jumped and pushed off from the wall nearly getting whacked out of the air by Narissa’s tail. Landing on the creature’s back, Larxene clung to her slippery neck.
Narissa roared, wings flapping in an attempt to throw the woman off, but Larxene held on, pulling out another knife. Aiming carefully, she plunged the blade between two scales on Narissa’s neck.
Screaming in pain and frustration, Narissia slammed backwards against the wall, knocking Larxene off. The blonde landed as gracefully as possible on her feet, only to be flung across the room with the swipe of an infuriated Narissa’s claws. Almost getting crushed by a particularly large piece of debris, Larxene rolled out of the way, bringing up a portal to darkness as she went.
“Don’t think I won’t be back!” she shouted, looking thrilled despite the slashes on her face and the bruises she would most likely have tomorrow. “Like hell I’d give up that easily!”
Scrambling to her feet, Larxene slipped through the portal right as Narissa’s tail smacked down on the spot where the Nobody had just been standing.
“Bitch,” Narissa muttered before turning to get the knife out of her neck. Looking on the bright side, at least the brat didn’t want to marry Edward; she was still queen.
Plus, she would make the worst daughter-in-law ever to live.
