The Grey and Black Wars

"How could you not have told me something like this. You go to bed with me but yet you are in love with Valian. How could you not have told me something like this; how could you have lied to me?"

"Stop..." She said her tears halting... "Could you really be so dumb... so blind?" She asked.

"I... I don't love him..." She said before walking away and going to her balcony. She was scowling now. "I am a toy to him..." She said looking back at Jon. "He thinks... He thinks he loves me but... I know that that's not true..." She said as she walked back inside.

"I never lied to you..." She said not daring to go near him yet...
 
Jonathon took a deep breath and continued to look at Selene, seeing the hurt that was in his face.

"If you do not love him why do you stay here in this room that was obviously furnished by him? Why do you stay here in this hall where he can come to you whenever he wants to?"

He knew that his anger was making him say things before thinking. He turned his back to her and stood there looking at the wall, taking several deep breaths to calm himself down.

He turned and looked at her again, "If you are his toy why do you not disappear? I can help you to make that happen if you will let me. I know what it will be like for the both of us if you say yes...."

He moved towards her slowly, wondering what she was going to do now.
 
"If you do not love him why do you stay here in this room that was obviously furnished by him? Why do you stay here in this hall where he can come to you whenever he wants to?"

"Do you honestly think I can just leave Jon?" She asked angrily. "You think I can just leave and never show up again? I can't..." She said. "I have no where to go..."

"If you are his toy why do you not disappear? I can help you to make that happen if you will let me. I know what it will be like for the both of us if you say yes...."

"I don't want to hurt him..." She said and it seemed that that was her choice...

"But... I can't go back to being without you..." she pouted softly before she threw her arms around his neck...

"I'm yours..." She huffed.
 
Jon was obviously taken aback by this and found that his anger was flowing away from him quickly. When he had jumped off the roof into the cart full of grapes he never expected anything like this to happen to him but yet it had. Selene wanted to go with him but she was still afraid of what would happen to the both of them when she did leave and she did not want to leave Valian. He looked into her eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.

"I want to take you with me, away from this place. I know that it will be hard for us to hide out in the city but the truth is that Valian does not know anything about my home. You will be safe if you disappear with me."

He kissed her softly on the lips before looking into her eyes again.

"Will you leave without me? Please say that you will..."
 
"I want to take you with me, away from this place. I know that it will be hard for us to hide out in the city but the truth is that Valian does not know anything about my home. You will be safe if you disappear with me."

She looked into those eyes and she could feel everything melting away.

"Will you leave with me? Please say that you will..."

"I will..." She said smiling. Yes, she knew that she would be giving up everything but she also know that... those things meant nothing to her. She would be happy with Jon even if it would be hard.

She didn't care that she was only in her silken nighty. She grabbed a bag and loaded up some clothes and all of her favorite weapons. "How do we get out of here?" She asked. "He'll be back soon..." She explained when he was looking at her clothing choice.

Gali moved into the crowd as he saw an old man walking between the throng, it was market day and it was busy. The spear vibrated on his back, he had found his target.

Gali followed the old man through small streets and alleys, staying well out of sight.

“Watchessss thisss one I sense evil all aroundsss him,” The spear spoke to Gali with genuine concern.


Gali always found it strange that the spear watched out for him, however much they bickered. “Yes, yes old friend I will watch out.” Gali moved behind a pile of rubbish in an empty alleyway. He could just see the old man move out of sight at the end. Gali untied the spear and took off the covering; he undid his cloak and let it fall to the floor. “Ready.”

“Yess I am alwayss ready . . . Andss Im not your friendsss.” The spear spoke with almost with a chuckle.

Gali just shook his head, and then pulled the spear up, he spun it around a few times feeling the weight. The spear was a part of him, and it blurred around with an unnatural speed. He moved in silence his muscles moving in perfect harmony.

Gali stepped round the corner, it was a dead end, and no-one was there. He looked around he could sense he was being watched - He tensed up as an arrow flew towards his chest, at the last moment he dodged sideways.

Gali saw the old man standing on the roof his face in a snear, he held a cross bow.

OH Fuck... Somehow... he had missed the man with the spear? How the hell could he have missed such a large man?

"Fuck me..." He said before firing another... Another miss.

Why had he taken this job again? He didn't know... but what he did know was that he needed to get the hell out of there and fast....

So he ran... All too aware that someone was chasing him.
 
Jon stood there looking around the room, his mind racing quickly. He was so happy that Selene was going to come with him that he was not thinking straight even though he knew he had to. He scratched the top of his head for a couple of seconds, thinking of different ways to get out of this place and knew that every one of them was as stupid as the one before it.

He wanted to tell Selene that it was going to be hard to get them out of here. He wanted to tell her the truth and say that it was going to be damn near impossible but he knew that nothing was impossible until you thought of every option and if the craziest one did not work then it was time to give up. He looked at her again and knew that she wanted to get out of here with him and opened his mouth to ask if she knew of a way but then saw the bag that she had on her back.

"Quick, take off the bag. I have an idea of how we are going to get out of here."

He searched through her bag quickly, a large smile coming to her face as soon as she found what she was looking for. After he handed the bag back to her he slammed the grappling iron to the balcony and threw the rope down, hoping that it was going to be enough.

"I would say ladies first but in this case I will make an exception."

He went over the balcony, grabbing the rope as he did and as he moved towards the ground he hoped to all the gods one thing. That he would make it out of this alive and hopefully in one piece.
 
"Quick, take off the bag. I have an idea of how we are going to get out of here."

She was surprised to see him take out her grappling hook. She took her back back and was pleasantly surprised with what he did next. "Well, if you aren't smarter than you look Jon... I wonder if Valian knows about all these little tricks you have?" She teased.

"I would say ladies first but in this case I will make an exception."

She smiled at him and watching him make it all the way down safely.

Selene moved to the rope and began to make her way down. She needed to join him so they could hide... Or run away because there was no staying here now wathat was for damn sure.

"Jon..." She said once she was down... "Thank you..."
 
As soon as he made it to the ground Jon slid his daggers out of their sheaths, readying himself just in case someone was to attack them but when he was sure they were somewhat safe he looked up just to see her coming down the rope. He tried to wipe the smile off his face but when the view that he had was such a good one that there was no way he could. The silk nighty thing that she was wearing was so sheer that he could almost see right through it to the body that was underneath. He knew that he had seen her naked but the nighty seemed to make her look more attractive than he had ever seen her.

He slid the daggers back into their sheaths when she was on the ground and looked into her eyes as she told him thank you. He wrapped his arms around her and hold her close, to warm her up and just to hold her.

"There is no need to thank me my dear lady. If I can take you out of that place and somewhere safe then I will do that. Now, what do you say to me taking you out of here and to my home?"

With a smile he turned and started to walk away from the guild hall, hoping that it would be the last time that he would see it as he knew if he ever did then it would mean his death.
 
Selene made it down quickly enough. Her body was not unused to having to do such work but her sheer gown didn't seem like it liked the task much. She was silenly glad that he pulled her close to shield her from the rest of the night.

"There is no need to thank me my dear lady. If I can take you out of that place and somewhere safe then I will do that. Now, what do you say to me taking you out of here and to my home?"

"I say that I would love to see your home," She agreed as she headed down the street with him. It would take a while to find it. But if you were to circle around and try to find it from the center of town it would never pop out at you.... but it was easy to find on the outskirts of the town.

"This is youg home?" She asked.
 
As he walked through the winding streets of Waterdeep Jon looked around, keeping his thoughts to himself. He never thought that at the end of the day he would be running from the guild hall that he had called home for several years with Valian's lover. He knew that his life would be in danger now because of this but when he looked over at Selene he knew that it was truly worth it. She was more beautiful than anyone he had seen in this city and if Valian treated her like some animal then he was welcome to lose her.

He took her hand and walked towards the outskirts of the city, passing the richer homes as he did with a smile. He knew that he had gone into many of those places before which was a testament to the guards posted at the gates. He wanted nothing more than to go up to them but he did not want to put Selene in danger again this night.

Before long the street where he his home was came into view and he stopped in front of one of the non descript places. He walked forward and was about to open the door until Selene asked if this was his home. He turned on his heels to look at her.

"This is indeed my home. I asked you not to be fulled by how she looks on the outside. It is always what is in the inside that counts."

He moved forward, placed the key into the lock and leaned forward, whispering the word to stop the wards that had been placed around the door from going off in his face. Turning the key slowly Jon smiled as he heard the click and pushed the door open, stepping aside to let Selene into his home.

He entered slowly, smiling when he saw that it was exactly how he remembered it.

"If you are wondering about the size of it it is quite simple. It used to belong to a mage who did quite a few spells on it so it is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I have found that to be quite useful as will you. We can pretty much be on opposite sides of the building and never run into each other."

So he runs, Gali thought to himself as he set of after the fleeing man. He used the spear and pole vaulted onto a low wall then jumped onto the rooftops.
