I walked through the house with Gloria by my side. I looked at the paintings that I assumed were done by Rex. They matched his brush strokes perfectly and the amount of color. I missed him terribly. Gloria pulled me to the right of the hallway as a group of oafs as I now called them, walked by. She shook her head and I nodded. They must be her guards or something. We made our way to a large temple looking area. There were large pillars that lined up in a row with a carpet going down the middle. Torches were lit also even though it was daylight out. We stopped for a second and Gloria bowed down. I looked around confused, but did what she did. We then made our way down the long hallway.

It was open, outside, so I could feel the breeze. It was cool against this hot dress and I could feel my hair slipping already. I held my hands in front of me for Gloria said not to touch it. If it falls it falls. As we walked I could see what looked like a throne room opening up in front of us. There sat two people, the woman from earlier and a man, with guards on either side. The guards were wearing all black, their heads down and swords at their hip. No way I was getting out of this one easily.

As we approached the thrones we bowed and waited for one to speak. Eventually the woman spoke and we stood back up. The man had long black hair that looked identical to the woman’s. He was wearing what looked like traditional armor but he had a long black cape made from some sort of animal. His face was virtually free of wrinkles but you could tell he was older. His skin was olive and his eyes a dark gray color.

“So you must be Anya.” His voice slid across the room and I looked up at him. He readjusted himself in his seat and cleared his throat. “Do you understand why you are here?” I shrugged and he stood up. He walked towards me and I could feel my heart jump into my throat. Rex had a calm manner to him but this man had that feeling that makes your hair stand on end. I stood still as he walked around me. “Well it seems our little Rex likes you for some odd reason.”

“Why is it odd? Because I am not already immortal?” I spat back. I didn’t regret it, what would he do to me? He just smiled and stood in front of me.

“Well don’t get all mouthy.” He leaned forward and I could smell his musky scent or pine needles and cinnamon. “I know you are probably amazing for Rex. The thing is is he is a mommy’s boy and she doesn’t like many people.” I felt his hand on my waist and my body stiffened. “Don’t get so nervous. We aren’t here to hurt you.
