Bio Info:
Livia Du'Prae
She had finished rubbing her horse
down,Gabriel had been a gift from her mentor
Sarrah, a beautiful black stalion. Yet when she
was fifteen Sarrah had taken her to a far off
land to introduce her to long time friends,in so
there kids introduce her to there cat Khar-Pern
who had a litter of kittens. I was told not to
pick them up yet a black kitten pawed at me,and
absently I picked it up. The event that took
place next she would never forget for the kitten
bit down on her palm,drawing blood she quickly
jerked her hand away. the cat apologized at first
it confused her for who said that as she looked
around. The children witnessed the event and
began explaining as another ran yelling a kitten
has bonded with Livia. The cat introduced itself
as Pyche,said she had chose her human companion.
Sarrah and Jharn came running to the
barn,shakeing there heads. For in this land it
was acceptable for the ghatti and its companion
for the sherifs and there deputies were the
companions for the most part very few outsiders
had this blessing. You shall have to learn
responsibility for such a companion,for now you
know that Midnight my cat is like yours child. So
at least she will have one of her kind around. So
with this they took back for there home. Midnight
and Psyche were becomeing mates if they would
quit fighting long enough. She missed Psyche,but
there was trouble in there land so she and
Midnight both left to be of help.
Usually she
would of insisted upon going yet she had been
plotting so long for last nights lute,to only be
intercepted by a handsome man who she wished she
could get his eyes out of her mind. It was eery
as if he was always watching. Sitting down she
brought her knees to her chest,scooping up a
pebble she skipped it across the lake. The
silence was refreshing as she brought out the
pouch and took out the necklace. Odd he gave to
her the one piece she longed for. The piece her
mother would always wear to the royal events.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*After having awaken just after the sun had set
he had chosen a walk to start the eve off.He
hadnt really though much of where he would go
simply that he wanted out of the city and to find
some kind of place to relax for a while.Not to
far out of the city's limits he had found a lake
and desided to walk along its endge but then here
heard the sound of a stone skipping across the
water,With a snap of his nead in the direstion
and the sudden sharpening of his sences he could
se you sitting near the waters edge.The smile he
held the night before crept onto his face once
more as he recognized you.With the stealth he had
shown last night he slowly made his way to where
you sat, comeing up from behind you but keeping a
distance at first.*
Livia
Du'Prae
Her hand traced the
intricate ivory and then the jade stone that the
piece centered around.for it truly brought out
her mothers jade eyes,and they shared the same
eyes. Picking up another pebble she sent it
skipping across the lake. closing her eyes to
listen to the water fall in the distance. She had
taken some days off and she knew she needed them.
Still a bit shaken from last night she usually
told Psyche and Sarrah everything,yet she had not
confided in Sarrah of her venture to steal her
heritage,so she could not tell her of the events
that took place. Psyche,didn't approve it worried
her that she did such a thing without noones
knowledge,though she would sound the alert if she
were to get into trouble. Psyche has accused her
of being rather quiet earlier,why didn't she tell
Psyche of the events,not like she wont know
eventually. Perhaps cause she couldn't understand
the feeling and turmoil she was in herself.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*No sound
betrays him as he closes the distance from where
he stood to where you sit.He wasnt so much trying
to hide at the moment as he was taking advantage
of the soft ground and dark night sky.As he
reaches you he slows to a deliberate attempt to
remain hidden and as with the night before he
bends lwo to whisper into your ear. His breath is
cool as always agians your neck and his voice
holds that same taunting yet oh so tempting tone
to it.*I see my prediction of us meeting agian
holds true Lady Du'Prae. But I ask you this, do
you stalk me? Is this why we meet agian?*He
takes a deep breath in,weather he was breathing
in the night air or your scent is uncertain but
he did it none the less.He was getting hungry and
if he had desired he could have fed and lefts you
unconstious and unaware but for now he enjoyed
this and would endure the ever present hunger.*
Livia
Du'Prae
As the pebble hits the steal
water,she scoops another just as she is about to
toss it,she again feels the hairs on the back of
neck,and the coolness of his breath against her
ear. Shuddering,as his words startle her,turning
her head to gaze at him her hand falls to her
inner thigh and the poisoned dagger,then
releaseing it '' Do you find it necesary to do
that I mean it could get one killed,sneaking like
that. I am on my own land sir,so perhaps I should
be wary and ask that of you,for are you stalking
me?'' ~she laughs nervously as he feels the
warmth of her breath against his lips,as again
she is forced to be so close and that feeling
tugging at her to stand and run,yet the want to
be near him crept up again or had it ever really
left~ So it does seem you were right we meet
again'' .
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Moving to stand before you his eyes
never seem to leave yours,that amused twinkle
seeming to come to life at the mention of his
stalking you.Moving to lean agianst a near by
tree he remians silent for a moment then
speaks.*I was out for a walk Lady Du'Prae.As
you know our kind tend to find the night more to
our liking and after our...encounter...last night
I figured i would go for a walk and enjoy the
eve.*His voice was still soft and still held
that allure but his mannerism told you his words
were true, at least for the most part.*
Livia Du'Prae
Watching
him as he moves to the tree,she felt her heart
races as her eyes meet his,standing for sitting
she felt vulnerable she made her way to the lakes
edge,and takeing a stone into her hand she
skipped it across the lake. '' True our kind does
prefer the night,so do you belong to a guild?''
She had always assumed when he mentioned there
kind he spoke of there being thieves. For she saw
him as a thief. ''So you can't seem to forget
last night as well'' the words fell from her lips
so quickly she closed her eyes,turning her back
to him and facing the lake. She knew how it must
of seemed.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*As you
turned away his smile grew ever so slightly yet
his voice remained the same.*No i belong to no
guild,nor would i want to.That takes the fun from
it, why should i hand my prize over to others
without reason?*His eyes follow the stone as
it skips across the water,He then slowly returns
his gaze to you though you cant see him while you
have your back to him.*Our meeting isnt what
has me thinking so much as why we met.You had
been planning and my guess is watching the house
for a while,as was I of course.Wich makes me
wonder why last night was the night we met and
not sooner.*His eyes never leave the back of
your head and his gaze can certainly be felt as
he speaks.Had he been telling the truth? Had he
not thought of you as you had him?*
Livia
Du'Prae
~shrugging as he speaks of
belonging to know guild~ '' My guild is like my
family and I do not mind sharing that which I
steal for I like the art of thieving and mostly I
do not plot like I did when we met last
night,that home was my birth home those people
killed my family when I was but ten. I only
sought to steal back my jewels,the one that meant
the most I must thank you, this necklace was my
mothers.'' His words fell on her ears making her
wince,she could feel his gaze and she trembled.
she had been so foolish to give away her thoughts
to him,she would be more cautious of her words.
turning to answer you,a soft smile~ '' well I
would think it is cause we are both good at what
we do, I know I am very good at my art sir and I
did not wish to be seen or detected there fore I
was not'' Her eyes searched to see if he even
remotely shared some of the feelings she had for
at that moment she was consumed with
confusion
*~Paris
Marseilles~*
*His eyes hold yours,there was
something in his eyes but what was unclear though
the amused twinkle seems to have left.He remains
silent and motionless as a statue,simple watching
you.And then he speaks, his words soft as the
whisper he had used so often yet they reached
your ears none the less.*I will admit that you
are indeed good at what you do, if you werent
then you wouldnt have known where to look for the
safe.*At this point he begisn slowly making
his way to stand before you, his eyes never
leaving yours nor letting them leave his.*But
us simply being good cant be all there is to it
Lady Du'Prae, There must be more to it.
Coinsidence may have played a part but i refuse
to believe that was all there was to it.
Livia
Du'Prae
She bends down to scoop up a few
more pebbles,turning as he speaks, skips the
pebble across the lake. ''Thank you, that was
quite a challenge to find that safe I did indeed
love that. though I was determined to find it I
had done so much planning. So you must of been
amused,from where ever you hid,knowing I would
find it empty and I must say it really put a
damper on my night to know you had beat me''
Turning to gaze at you for the first time she
wore an amused smile as it was the first time she
realized just how funny it must of been to you
and how her expression must of been classic. ''
You think our meeting much deeper,then you have
been thinking about us ~she winks playfully at
you as she watches you approach a bit nervous for
those feelings always come closer to the surface
the close he is to her. ''perhaps our fates
crossed cause I needed to be put in my place, I
have never thought of anyone being better than I
at my own art. Maybe fate is given us a push to
see what will play out cause even fate or gods
must need some amusement,and what more than to
put to thieves together and see what shall
happen. for they will be most wary of one another
would we not, I mean really were thieves by
nature though we honor one another we shall
always try to out do one another and beat each
other to the chase. Though we would have to know
what each other desires to steal next,so would
you like to confess?'' Her jade eyes gaze into
yours with mischief and many other emotions as
she fights her feelings
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Standing only a few feet from you
now he lets out a gentle laugh and shakes his
head.That amused twinkle returns to his eyes as
he watches you and then he speaks
quietly.*What would you have me confess Lady
Du'Prae? Would you have me tell you my next
target? Or perhaps inform you what prize I seek
next? Though I am sure you know the answer to
these questions already.*He remains watching
you from where he stands,wondering what your
reaction would be and curous where this will
lead.*
Livia
Du'Prae
As his words fell now given her
face a haunted expression,as she now remembered
what it was he spoke just last night. '' yes I
seem to recall you spoke as if I were a
possession to be won'' She gazed up at you softly
as she took a deep breath. that feeling crept
over her again which would send her running if
she coud move for the other side of her kept her
before him. she tilted her head up to look at him
and then the stars. '' What if I confessed that I
have thought about what you said and there would
be a price to pay for whoever wishes to have me,
for it would be the greatest of all my thefts.
and I know in my heart from looking at you would
be quite the challenge,yet your heart shall be
mine before you possess what it is you desire''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Ironic how
you would demand his heart, he wondered if you
would still want it when you learned that it was
cold and dead. But for now he would keep his
secret and see what will be.*We are all
possessions Lady Du'Prae,it simply depends on how
you view it. Take for example you and your guild,
you do as your told by those of a higher rank,
you give a tithe to them from what you take, and
you do so of your own choice.You are as much a
possession to them as I am to those I
serve.*His eyes are serious as they look into
yours and his words though spoken in that voice
of his seem flat and honest,his sire could
manipuate him as easily as he could manipulate
and peasant girl, and he doubted your guild
mistress was any different when it came to
getting you to do as she wished.*
Livia
Du'Prae
She listened to his words,and her
eyes matched his as she wrestled with what he
spoke,for she had never thought of her guild or
her mistress as anything but family. Yet she
actually never took much she had never needed
much,for Sarrah had treated her more like a
daughter then a guild sister. Yet she felt so
naive as he spoke,perhaps she was naive when it
came to men,and she should always remember
Sarrah's advice though perhaps for the first time
Livia,was deciding she needed to experience life
herself,not let Sarrahs haunts become hers. She
knew Pyche would would never allow her to fall
into danger. '' Your right I suppose in away to
the guild I am a possession but to Sarrah I am
more like a daughter and she is the head
mistress. So I am family in many ways. I care for
my guild sisters perhaps diferently have always
known this for was raised here'' Letting the
pebbles fall to the ground she smiles up at
you. '' So who do you serve? Perhaps I shall get
a name as you know I shall never speak it to
anyone who would mean you harm'' He realizes she
has an adept way of catching everything,she is
not afraid to ask questions or learn from those
around her,and he has woken in her so much she
has never felt before. So eager is she to learn
to understand what it is she desires and she
could spin out of control fast and knowing this
she kicks at the earth beneath her feet to bring
her back and tighten her own leash.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*Listening in
silence he contiues watching you,considering your
words.Taking a single step closer he then
speaks,his words soft and his voice rather
serious.*And what good would come of my
telling you who I serve? I know them and I know
what would happen to both you and I if i was to
inform you who they are, and I assure you Lady
Du'Prae that you nor your guild sisters would be
pleased with the results.So I tell you now they
are of no consequence between us.As for who I
am,*Agian he takes a step closer placing him
directly before where you stand,That amused
twinkle coming to life within the depths of his
eyes and his smile becoming wry yet inviting all
at once.When he continues his voice is still the
whisper but there is a hint of mockery
there.*I thought you desired my heart not my
name, Lady Du'Prae
Livia
Du'Prae
As he moved closer she felt her
heart race a bit,as she gazed at him afraid he
could hear the sound of her heartbeat. his words
so serious and protective,tilting her head up
towards him,she drew her finger to her lip,as she
felt the coolness of his breath against her as he
finished he seemed like he was protecting them
both,yet the mystery of who he served and of
himself drew her closer to him,she had no idea
how close she was becoming. yet as he again moved
in on her she stood her ground,the desire to stay
and solve the mystery burned within,the danger
excited him,yet was he the enemy like her Sarrah
spoke of. for she fell in love once, he turned
out to be the enemy for he betrayed her love and
captured her for his queen. Yet the guild had
away inside the dungeons and they helped her to
escape. Her eyes searched his,as she placed her
hand over her heart absently as if to silence
it~ '' I do sir I do yet when that time comes and
I have captured your heart, and keep in mind I am
good at my art sire, then you shall have a name
for me. and I shall not pry any more to whom you
serve, yet know this if you do become thy enemy I
shall kill you for I am good at that art as well
~ her eyes gaze downward,she had no wish to ever
have to kill him,she had somehow felt the same
desires he spoke just she was so unsure of how
far she should go,and how much she would have to
give of herself which was truly what she feared
for the first time.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*His smile
grows ever so slightly and for a moment his eyes
leave yours to look to the hand that covers your
heart.He could indeed heart the beat of it and it
made him long for you in ways you couldnt
imagine, but as before he ignored the desire and
looked back to your eyes.*Then when the time
comes,Lady Du'Prae, I shall give you a name to
call me by but for now it is not
necessary.*Slowly he reaches up and tilts
your head up till your gaze meets his agian.The
look in his eyes still holding that twinkle
though his voice seems serious.*And how would
you know me to be friend or foe?And how would you
go about killing me, when twice now it is I how
have snuck up on you?
Livia
Du'Prae
She gave him a beautiful smile as
he spoke,again he spoke her name and again her
eyes closed it felt so familiar as if he had
spoken her name forever be it in her dreams. and
when he was silent she bowed yet he could sense
the playful mockery in it as she spoke softly~ ''
Then I shall be patient for when that time comes
and it will, I make thee a promise for I know our
kind speaks as if everything is a game,yet when
your heart is mine I shall take care of it as if
it were thy own heart for I know enough to know
what were speaking though dangerous can not be
just a game,or it will in the end rip us apart
from the insides'' As he tilts her head upward
and her eyes meet his,he feels her tremble as she
takes a deep breath,her voice a whisper. '' thats
just it, I do not know which you are only know
how I feel,and if I told you how it is I woud
kill you then I might as well just hand over thy
weapon,and true you have snuck up on me twice
now,which means were the best at what it is we
do,and I admire that. I would not wish to kill
thee but I have my own secrets and that shall be
one of them I shall not speak of'' She takes a
step closer to him and smiles sweetly. '' I am
not stupid I know when I am outmatched I know
your not like me, and you possess some kind of
power''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*His thumb
caresses your cheek ever so slightly as he
watches you.The twinkle in his eyes dancing
though it seems more predetory now, as if the
hunt was on and he was enjoying it. That smile of
his seeming to tug at your heart.*I am likely
both your friend and foe,for we will always be
competitors of one sort or another, But what I am
is of no concern Lady Du'Prae.*Leaning close
his lips brush your softly in a kiss that seems
tender for him, but it only lasts for the
briefest moment moment before he takes a step
back and back and looks into your eyes.*Just
know that there is more to me than you wish to
know and more than i wish to share.
Livia
Du'Prae
She takes a deep breath as his
thumb caresses her cheek the coolness of hs touch
sends a shiver down her. Yet her eyes gaze into
his and she feels lost in the moment. '' Yet
somehow I shall balance that which we both are
and I shall not ask what you are,when your ready
you shall reveal to me I can sense that,yet I
sense in not telling you protect me,your such a
mystery to solve my thief'' Her lips quiver as
his lips brush against hers and they meet for the
first kiss,which was to be her first kiss,as her
eyes closed she heard him step back realizeing
she had stood still in time for a moment not
realizeing he broke away. she let her hand fall
to her lips as her eyes met his. '' and no in
time for we have time were both young you shall
reveal it all to me but for now I want to just
get to know what you will share with me'' and
somehow she would have to keep her ghatti quiet
she would love to help solve his mystery and ruin
all the mystery for her. Yet Psyche and her tried
to not read others when the ghatti brushed
against the person she kept it to herself unless
it put her in danger
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*His eyes
move from yours to the night sky,gazing to the
moon and its location in the sky.As he speaks his
words are firm and strong.*I am a mystery that
is best left unsoved, but seek as you will if you
feel the need.*With that he looks back to you
and his face is expressionless for a moment
before he smiles that taunting yet tempting smile
of his.*As for time, that is one thing I may
have more of than any one alive,yet always seem
to be running out of as well.*Though he is
smiling there is no amusement in his
eyes.Standing in silence they seem to delve into
your very soul,as if searching for something, but
what*
Livia
Du'Prae
her eyes gaze up towards the sky
as she follows his gaze,then to the moon '' It is
lovely out tonight,and I shall get to know the
part of you that you wish to share with me,yet I
am a very curios girl and will not beable to keep
from tryin to solve why your diferent,you are we
both know this'' Her gaze meets his as she feels
his eyes on her,his words caught her again trying
to solve what he was. yet all she knew of the
world she could not understand,who has that much
time. Elves perhaps,gnome,hobbits.yet he is none
of these. '' You know sometimes you speak in away
I can't help but want to unravel those secrets,I
mean who possesses that much time,and it seems it
would be lonely to live that long'' She catches
his smile and his gaze sends a chill down her,as
she feels like he can see right through her,and
somehow tugs at her from all sides. what is it he
searches for he seems to always be searching
me,testing me,drawing me into his mystery.
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*At this he
laughs softly agian and holds his arms wide,as if
to encompass all about him.Taking a few steps
closer to you he still never lets his eyes leave
yours.The search seeming to never pause, not even
for a moment.*Perhaps I am all that you have
ever dreamed, even feared.For a dream lasts all
eternity when longed for yet it can only exist
when thought of.Perhaps I am your darkest desire
manifested for your delight and pleasure.*And
as he speaks he moves closer to you,moving to
circle you.His voice growing softer as he does
so,his face moving to so that he may whisper
wonce more into your ear,his cool breath teasing
your neck gently.*Perhaps I am the one thing
you have longed for so badly that you refused to
admit it to your guld mistress or even to
yourself,Lady Du'Prae.*His voice seems to
trail off.Though his words had been the softest
of whisper they seem to linger within your ears
and silently he moves back around to stand before
you,his eyes as always meeting yours and holding
them in his searching gaze.*
Livia
Du'Prae
She smiles at you as you move
closer again,for she realizes the tug of war
between them,the two thieves being brought
together and both sometimes wary yet a wanting
that scared her. yet as he began to speak,she
took a step back as he moved towards her and as
he began circleing her,she took a step towards
her home, and almost stumbled,as she tried to
turn from him yet her eyes locked on his. '' I
think your deliberately trying to scare me cause
your scared at just how close I am to captureing
that heart'' as his voice softens she watches him
closely her heart racing against time she felt.
his cool voice once again on her neck as he again
seemed to stand behind her,whispering in her ear
and as she catches his words,she lets herself
fall to the ground,the cool grass against her
bare legs. bringing her knees to her chest
slowly,her hand picks at the grass,how did he
know my darkest thoughts. for as he spoke she
knew he spoke what was within her and it sent
such a panic over the thief. '' Stop,please leave
some of whats within me to stay within me,that
was not yours to know unless I so spoke those
words to you, I would deny your words but it
would be futile, you spoke my deepest thoughts.
why would you use them against me?''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
*He watches
as you drop to the ground and he listens to your
words.Then slowly he kneels down besode you and
reaches out a hand,taking your cheek as he had
several times since they had met and caressing it
ever so gently.*You deisred to know the
mystery that is me,You desired to know what I
am.All I have done was open your eyes Lady
Du'Prae. For if you can not admit that wich you
hold inside to yourself how do you hope to
understand that wich is inside me?*His hand
still apon your face,his touch cool to your
skin.Slowly he turns your head so hat his eyes
once more gaze into yours.That searching gaze of
his showing you that his words heald truth.How
could you expect to understand him,he with the
power you could sence, when you couldnt even come
to balance with the desires within you?*You
have led a sheltered life and yet you search for
answers you cannot yet understand,or refuse to
any ways.So I will expose all that is you until
you are able to.*With this he stands and
looks down apon you.*Until then Lady Du'Prae
you will not begin to understand the mysteries
that hold to me and dwell within.*Its at this
point,him standing at his full hight over your
semi curled form, that just how secretive a man
he is comes to realization.He had succeeded in
bringing out the truth,your inner being,and yet
still you had not even a name to call him by.All
you knew of him was that he was a thief by trade,
or hobby, and that he was seemingly made of the
stuff of dreams,or perhaps nightmares.*
Livia
Du'Prae
As he kneels down before her she
gazes at you,consumed in confusion and turmoil.
for she now understood the way things could
spiral out of control,as was now. first she
sought to steal outside the guild,which lead to
the a meeting of chance or fate whatever,she had
lied to her mentor and from there she would
continue, for she hated men and Livia was finding
that was not how she felt at least not of the man
who had once again caressed her cheek with such
softness and his eyes and touch so gentle. '' you
touch is cold, are you dead,perhaps an angel of
some kind. Your right I try to hide that which I
feel for I am still not sure of your intensions
yet you have already been open about yours,and I
think I have been open with what it would require
for that to happen. Her eyes gaze into yours and
close and open again,listening and her eyes show
an understanding. '' you speak truth I have and
yet again things but maybe it is necesary,yet you
do not play fair my thief'' which she had placed
her own name til the day she captured your heart
and you were forced to reveal your name. '' I
shall try to learn all that you open up and teach
me for Sarrah has kept me naive to much,yet am
sure it is for my own protection'' ++ Livia,what
troubles you your mind has been closed til now
yet can sense your upset... Psyche am sorry dear
lady I am just learning stuff please no worries
go back to sleep I shall. silence Livia, another
dream well get some sleep dreams never hurt
anyone..+++ a soft laugh fell from her lips as
she placed her hand over his cool hand and
pressed her cheek against his hand.. '' Well then
perhaps we shall teach each other things and
perhaps you shall do as you wish me to do and
open up to me. I mean I have never left myself
this vulnerable to anyone,and yet I have found
myself so vulerable since our meeting and I think
your just that my dreams and fears all in one.
~her jade eyes searched yours as she felt your
search~ '' just ask me don't read my thoughts or
don't let me know,that frightens me my thief''
*~Paris Marseilles~*
I do not
read your thoughts,nor would I if I could.I read
you and I observe you,I know your wants and
desires because you show and tell me
them.*With this he leans in and gently kisses
your forehead,his lips cool and oh so gentle to
the couch.Then without the slightest hesitation
he makes his way back twords the city and his
haven,no sound comes from his foot fall and the
night seems to take him in as a mother would her
long lost child.*We will meet agian Lady
Du'Prae, but for now i leave you with your
thoughts and desires.*Though he is no longer
in sight his voice trails back to you,lingering
in its taunting yet tempting way.*
