She quietly chimed with wealth every step she took, her train trailing behind her. The Emir of the Infinite Deep spoke above her shoulder, and she felt his deep baritone beneath her caramel-hued skin, felt it in her bones when he turned those eyes that seemed to burn in her direction.
It made a smile touch the corners of her red, red lips and her hand slipped off from his arm. Fairuz turned from him so he could see the beautiful lines of her back as she gestured and her golden court fluttered away so much as hummingbirds.
Bahadur gave a quiet rumble as he stalked, his powerful shoulders rocking side by side beneath his brilliant orange and black coat. His long tail twitched and his eyes seemed to glow for a moment as he watched Fairuz's people disappear, leaving only the Emira and the beast in the company of the Emir and the Maridi.
"Come here..." Fairuz then said to the Emir as she turned, her bejeweled hand on the door in front of her. "I want to show you something," she spoke and pushed on the carved door so it revealed her office inside.
It was clear the invitation was for the Emir alone.

The Emir gave a subtle signal to his retinue, who had been following at a discrete distance, and the fell back, allowing him to follow @fairuz into her office alone. It might have been a trap, of course, but Alim felt that was unlikely. If she meant to do him harm, it was hardly the right moment for it, considering. Besides, what would she have to gain by it?
No, if the Emira was looking to set him up, it was not a physical trap of luring him away from his guard and escort. It would be a snare of words and trade offers and beneficial arrangements designed to look entirely reasonable until one day he looked up and realized how much more she had gained by it than he had, and that he was beholden to her interests so that his best interests could only be served by benefiting her as well. Or perhaps she was going to be entirely forthright and transparent. He tried not to be disappointed at the thought of it.
Alim followed her into the office, looking around curiously. “If it half as wondrous as what you have already showed me, I will be deeply honored.”

Post by Lady Aishah of Sakand on Aug 23, 2017 10:28:17 GMT -8
Aishah found herself spending her time, like she would spend it almost any other day when she was at her Aunties Palace. She would lean over the railing and watch all the little boats float around in the water. She would stand or sit there for hours, the sun on her face and the breeze in her hair. There was barely anything she liked more.
Her tiger, Farah, would be close behind her lying lazily in the middle of the courtyard catching the sunlight as well. He would only look up when someone entered or if Aishah moved.
A smile was clear on her face as the water ways were very busy today. Little boats would pass each other in the small canals, and their gondoliers would greet each other with waving hands, before concentrating on pushing further along the water. "It is such a beautiful day." she sighed to nobody but herself.

Skarlet was escorted to the Palace Courtyard via flying carpet, Odar pointing out different monuments that were visible as they made their way to the palace. He saw Lady Aishah and grinned, and as the carpet lowered to the terrace, Odar dismounted, pausing to help Skarlet down as well. "Lady Aishah, a surprise, but a welcome one," Odar said, bowing deeply to her highness. He gestured to Skarlet. "This is Princess Skarlet of Isra, visiting for personal pleasure. Princess Skarlet, Lady Aishah, a niece of the Divine Emira Fairuz of Sakand." The courtier introduced them smoothly, bowing low as he did so.

Coming to the Palace Skarlet admires the mosaics that decorated the walls, imagining what sort of stories or characters they might depict. Once they land in the courtyard, Skarlet gracefully dismounts from the carpet and greets Aishah with a curtsie. "How do you do? My, there are so many plants, it's like a garden everywhere I look!"
Skarlet sees the tiger nearby and makes sure her food container is safe. She was unsure if it could smell the blood inside. She still smiles and asks, "Who's this big kitty?"

Aishah would look up with a little surprise when she saw the flying carpet, but soon a smile was back on her face. Farah lifted his head up, looking over at Aishah and lay it back down when she didn't seem alarmed by it.
She would skip over to Skarlet light-footed and take her hands in hers. "Welcome to the Palace Skarlet!" She said as a greeting, smiling warmly. "You choose a fine moment to visit. The weather is nice and the winds are cool. I was just watching the boats as they passed through the canals." she said as she motioned to the railing she had just been standing on and the view it gave on the canals below.
"Oooh this guy?" she giggled and walked over to the tiger laying down on the ground, kneeling next to him. "This is Farah, my lazy boy," she said still giggling as she stroked the tiger's fur gently. Farah would sigh, his eyes opened but obviously ready to get back to sleep. "He was a gift from my auntie, The Divine Emira Fairuz of Sakand. You can touch him if you would like." she smiled up at Skarlet.

Through Skarlet's gloves her hands would feel warmer than they actually are, she looks over past the railing as sees the view is quite nice. "Thank you, yes it seems I couldn't have visited at a better time. If he is okay with strangers, sure."
Skarlet came over non-threateningly and reached her hand toward Farah's back, avoiding his belly to show that even though she too was a predator she was not here to take an opportunistic strike. She kept a aura of salutations. "So Emira Fairuz is divine? I don't know much about Sakandi culture and religion."

Farah would get up a little and pay more attention as Skarlet approached. It was clear that he didn't seem entirely comfortable with her presence near him as if he knew something was up. But since Aishah was close to him, he would let Skarlet touch him without any trouble. If Aishah was fine with this human, he would be as well.
"It is a title, my dear Skarlet. She is our Emira, our queen, our protector and our savior. She has the minds of all her people in her heart and will do anything to make our lands prospect once more." the smile she wore didn't seem to leave her face once yet, her steps seemed like she was floating above the ground and her hair was swirling around her body. "So what brings you here? To our lovely Sakand?"

"I understand then. I'm here for fun and to form relationships with people across the land. I had never been to Sakand and I'm very pleased so far." Skarlet began to explain while moving away to give the tiger his space back. "I have big plans for the future and I want to prepare myself as much as I can as soon as I can. I'm visiting other countries so I can learn about each of them."

"That seems like a very noble cause!" she would answer. "I would be glad to show you around the city, we could even take a trip with one of the little boats that I love to watch so much," she said.

"That sounds like a good idea, whenever is convenient for you. I'd like to know about the celebration that's going on. I saw the blue people, who are they?" At first Skarlet thought they were just painted blue, but she had also seen horns so she theorized they may be some sort of demon.

Odar had been watching the interaction between the Princess of Isra and the Lady of Sakand, and when Skarlet began to ask questions about the Maridi, Odar stepped in.
"Excuse me, Your Highness," he said to both, bowing his head a bit. "The Maridi are here in celebration. They are... cousins to the Sakandi, perhaps you would call them. It is family returned home, and given the Maridi excellence with water, perhaps they will help the Emira Fairuz save Sakand." Odar's smile to Skarlet was a bit tight.
Yes, the Sakandi knew of the Israns. And they knew of what the Israns had denied them. Odar assumed that Skarlet was probably not a part of that decision making process, but it was hard not to feel anger. Although there was no official anti-Isran propoganda about the city, there were stories and whispers.
"Allow me to show you to your rooms, Your Highness. Perhaps then, you and the Lady Aishah would enjoy discovering the Bejeweled Gardens? I believe Lady Maharet will also be there."

Aishah could feel the emotions that Odar was experiencing, but she wasn't about to let him dwell in his anger. She was the type of person that always wanted people to smile no matter what happened. If everyone around her wore a smile she was the happiest person. It was one of the reasons why she was glad that the Maridi ended up being in existence instead of just being a fairy tale she had been told about as a kid. She had not seen her aunt this happy in a long while and was glad to see smiles back on her face.
"Thank you Odar." she would say to him with a friendly smile. "If anything they have made it very interesting in the past few days. There are so many new things for them to discover that they have never seen where they were living before. It has been very fun to show them around. I am sure we will meet some of them when we explore the city together!"
She would then proceed to follow Odar along with Skarlet.

"Thank you, of course lead the way Mr. Odar. I'll see you another time Lady Aishah." Skarlet bows her head goodbye and goes with Odar to locate her sleeping quarters. Skarlet was more curious now with Odar's words about saving Sakand, she'd note to bring it up later.

Allahab Alddayim
Established
Roleplay posts: 40
Age: Good Question
Physical Description: Allahab's most common appearance is that of a tall lean man with darkly coloured skin and darker eyes. His hair is long and black, his face covered in dark scruff. His jawline is angular his nose aquiline and his cheekbones high. There is a distinct sense of power about him and of imminent danger, partially because of the distinct smell of smoke that follows him wherever he goes. Of course, as an Ifrit he is capable of changing his appearance and his true form is that of a vaguely humanoid pillar of smoke and flame.
-
Clothes and Equipment: He tends to wear desert garb of fine make, richly dyed. He tends to prefer vests and loose pants and he carries a scimitar and a handheld crossbow.

To say the Ifrit were legends among the people of Sakand would have been inaccurate. Myths perhaps, but even that may be too grandiose a term. Rather they were figures from history recalled only in old tombs and by only studious students of Sakandi lore. A secret only because they kept themselves and their existence close to the breast, enough time has passed that what was once common was less so now.
A consideration Allahab Alddayim, The Keeper of The Thirteen Flames should have perhaps remembered when he approached the gates of the Emira's palace. Announcing himself as such to guards that well may never have heard of the Ifrit was a venture that may end poorly. Yet it was in the nature of the flames to be impetuous, even he the eldest of them was not immune.
"As I said." He repeats since the guards were just staring at the moment. "I am Allahab Alddayim of the Ifrit, known among my kind as The Keeper of The Thirteen Flames and I come bearing tribute to the Emira." He gestures to the train of nearly a dozen camels he led by himself, each laden with backs heavy with treasures. Silks, spices, tapestries, gold, jewels, pottery, and sand paintings. Hopefully, enough collected wealth to make up for the Ifrit's century or so absence from court. Allahab did not know the current Emira's temperament beyond rumour but in his experience all rulers enjoyed tribute.

Allahab and his offerings had made a splash entering Sakand. He had been booked and verified as all were who came into the glittering city, but his parade of gifts made many stop and stare and even follow.
The Emira, of course, was notified and found the notification bothersome. Things were tense in Sakand at the moment, the cause for many headaches, naturally. Still, she set aside her work and moved to her office while her steward greeted Allahab.
He was bowed to and respected, although tales of him being Ifrit we're catching like fire. His gifts were taken away by the appropriate servants, and he himself was led toward the office where the Emira was inside.
Or, supposedly inside.
[Exit to the Emira's office, please post next there!]
