Maxine looked out the dark window into the snow-covered night, debating the perfect wardrobe choice for the evening ahead. Her outfits were her best weapons. She had toppled many righteous men with a plunging neckline or backless dress. She turned to her wardrobe and drew out a lilac dress with shoulder caps and enough front support to distract any man into silence.
“Will you clasp the back?” she asked.
Nolen rose from the couch by the fire and with a greedy look fastened the metal snaps. He was the best of pets to have around, always eager to please. He had his own room in her mansion but spent most nights in hers. She never complained; after all, he was eager to please.
Yet, Nolen had a darkness in him she could never understand. She enjoyed toppling kingdoms and their rulers as much as any woman, but Nolen sought pleasure in violence. He had gone on for hours in great detail of how he broke ‘the Mage’ down to every whip crack, but she long ago learned to tune men out when she was finished with them.
“Where are you going in such a pretty dress?” he asked as he spun her around, his hands on her trim waist.
“Sightseeing,” she grinned. “Do not wait up fo’ me.”
“I must though,” he replied, putting a hard kiss on her neck.
“Then behave yourself while I am gone.”
“I will try.” He mused.
Nolen was ever so fetching wearing only a pair of trousers as he usually did in her rooms. She enjoyed the challenge of reining him in. She put a kiss on his lips and seized Void, vanishing into the night.
While the kingdoms’ borders had shifted, and names had changed, while languages had altered, blended or were forgotten, Castle Jaden had stayed the same. Now and again, an Age would birth a new building, or a Head Mage would refurbish old decor, but Jaden was the unbroken diamond that would never decay.
Ryker believed she was eternally devoted only to him and his cause, but she worked very hard for him to think so. In actual fact, she did as she pleased to benefit her cause, which was usually to ally with the best. She had succeeded since she was still a household name in Mage families. Legendary.
While Ryker thought they had no way into Castle Jaden, she actually did. Long ago she captured a Secondhand and took his black ring that bent the wards around Jaden. Ryker thought she lost it to the Ages, but it was her secret to keep. He did not need entrance to Jaden, and she was not sure she wanted to let him in. The look in the Head Mage’s eyes when he recognized the Castrofax kept her awake all that night and haunted her still.
The Head Mage was an interesting conquest. ‘Incredibly powerful in an Age of mediocre Mages?’ It seemed unreal, but she watched him fight and knew the stories were true. He was not just fast at laying patterns; he packed a powerful strength behind them.
