The doors opened, and Karesh stepped out, her dressing down going only to her knees. She paused and kissed William.

"Thanks dear." She said without thinking of what she was calling him, then walked off to her room.

"Goodnight brother." Sam said, and disappeared into his room, where Nyx was in pink silk pajamas.

"So, let's get your new things put away." He said, then the door closed.

.....

The next day...

After breakfast, Pondera called for Susan.

William had noticed, and he made his way back to his room with a big stupid grin on his face.
....
"Yes Father?" Susan asked when he called for her.

"There's a strange entity that falls in your domain, loitering in the Imperial Gardens next door. It hasn't killed anything yet, and it's not illegal to be there, but I just want you to go make sure it isn't going to get up to good." Pondera said.

"Yes Father," Susan replied before rushing out into the gardens, happy to take any excuse to look around them again.
Once out there she did a quick scan to locate the person Pondera had told her about.

There, in the center, something that felt strongly of Death, but was alive, sitting on a bench.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 1:48 am

Susan made her way towards it cautiously, taking her time to look around as she did.

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 1:53 am

It was a boy, her age. A black Phoenix Sapien. This explained why he felt strongly of Death, he was, a Death Phoenix. He hadn't noticed Susan yet.

"Hello?" Susan called out to the boy as she approached cautiously.

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:00 am

The boy looked startled.

"I, uh, I wasn't expecting a, especially my favorite, I mean uh, that is, uh, something wrong Princess Susan?" The boy asked, clearly nervous around his favorite princess.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:07 am

Susan blushed a little.
"I was just wondering what you were doing here," She replied.

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:09 am

"Oh, well, the guards said it was ok if I went in, so I did because all the other children don't like me. Well, not me specifically, my power really. I try so hard to keep a lid on it, but it doesn't seem to matter to anyone." The boy said glumly.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:11 am

"You're a Death Phoenix, aren't you?" Susan said moving closer to the bench, she didn't tell him that was one type of phoenix she'd rather hoped she'd meet, "What is your name?"

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:21 am

"Yeah that's me, a Death Phoenix. The Boss said he wasn't interested in me, he was saving me for another. My name's Leon. I was born between universes, both parents are gone. The Orphanages didn't want me, so when I got old enough, just a month ago infact, I asked them to send me to Warhaven to a boarding school for magic. A Necromancer by the name of Mort adopted me." Leon said.

Of course any Death Phoenix making a reference to "The Boss" was actually referring to The Reaper.

"And you, are Susan Miller. In my opinion, the best of the princesses." Leon said with a straight face, meaning he seriously thought Susan was better than the other girls.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:26 am

Susan blushed even more furiously at this.
"Thank you Leon," She said, shuffling onto the bench, "I, I like your plumage."

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:34 am

"Thank you, I try to take good care of them." Leon said. He checked his watch.

"Wow, this is the longest conversation I've ever had with someone my own age. Probably because I bet my powers don't scare you. Their your powers too. Why be afraid of your own power?" Leon asked, amazed Susan hadn't run off in terror or made an excuse and vanished yet.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:38 am

"It would be a foolish thing to be afraid of," Susan said, "Like jumping at your own shadow."

She was quiet for a moment in thought.

"Have you been taught how to cloak your powers?" She asked.

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:39 am

"My control isn't the best, but I keep practicing at it. Mort says I have a strong grasp of the technique." Leon replied.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:44 am

"I think you'll get the hang of it," Susan said putting a freindly hand on Leon's without realising, "Then people will start to approach you more, especially being as handsome as you are."

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:49 am

Leon turned his hand over and held Susan's.

"As pretty as you are, you must have to keep a skeleton minion on hand just to keep them all at bay." Leon said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 2:59 am

"All the boys are scared of me," Susan admitted, "They used to prefer the other princesses."

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:07 am

"I'm not scared." Leon said, looking into her eyes.

"LEON!" An aged voice called. Someone else was looking for Leon too.

"That'll be Mort." Leon said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:11 am

"He won't want to take you home will he?" Susan asked, almost looking worried at the idea.

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:24 am

Around the corner came The Grim Reaper.

"Ahh, Susan, meet my adoptive father, Mort. Mort, this is Princess Susan Miller." Leon said.

"Susan and I, know each other very well." Grim said.

"Is it time to go home now?" Leon asked, disappointed.

"It depends on if Susan tires of your company." Grim said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:26 am

"No, No, Not at all," Susan said quickly, "I'm enjoying his company very much."

by **Warhaven** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:43 am

"Well alright then." Grim said.

"Wait, how do you know Susan so well?" Leon asked.

Grim waved a hand over Leon, removing a glamour spell that had been placed on him.

"Boss!" He exclaimed, bowing.

"I only said I had no use for you, I saved you for another. I never said I wouldn't take care of you. Mort, the aged Necromancer will serve as a useful cover for that purpose. It was Susan I have saved you for. I have many like you to serve me, many of whom I am close friends to. You will help each other as you grow, and in time you will understand how. But thank Omni, he's the one that suggested it." Grim said, turning and leaving.

"Wow!" Leon said, amazed.

"Ahh, yes. There is no limit to how close you two can get. In a few years, you might even be more than friends, if you work it right." Grim promised, before leaving entirely.
