Price of Immortality

As ajax submerged into the water the trees's opened up, letting people enter now. He sat down at the bottom of the spring just out of reach of the entrance to the underground caverns. Closing his eyes he closed off his senses to everything, well as much as one could while still watching for ones life.

Why did he leave why couldnt he just stay? live with shit...no that wasn't him he just didn't like to feel.

Ajax saw the hate in her eyes the moment he tried to "fix" it, to make her unembarrassed only blew up in his face. As she accepted he could hear the poison dripping from her voice. The rest of the night went on as a blur until he felt her touch again, he did not know where or what he had done since she poisoned his ears with her words. But he knew now that she was leading him to talk about it.

"What on earth was that rubbish about?" she growled.

He simply slid down the wall hiding his face in his arms after wrapping them around his knees, "I tried to make it less embarrassing for you, I want you to be my...my partner. But when I saw you blush i thought you where going to run away leaving me there by myself again." he said.

A tear fell from his cheek and hit the ground, he screwed up again. as always he screwed up. He couldn't just leave things as they where, he couldn't just say what he wanted. No he always had to change what he was saying. As another tear hit the round the air around him grew tense, the ground started to shake. Standing up Ajax seemed to have changed in that moment, the soft caring emotional brute was gone. No now the emotionless warrior stood before her.

"Forgive me My Lady Daxin," he said kneel before her, "your guardian was out of line and it will never happen again" he said standing up and turning on toe walking out of the mansion and into his forest. The trees moved and tightened so no one could follow.

Ire came around the corner to see her master walking out of the house and the trees moving to block anyone that would think to follow, "What did you do now Daxin? or rather what did he do now? the only time i have seen him shake the earth was when he killed Aries ten years ago" she said turning to her.

Ajax sighed heavily and hoped that Daxin would not get to embarrassed, though he loved it when she blushed. The moments following his next words could go wrong, and fast, he simply hoped for the best. That was life right? hoping for the best even in a situation that was the worst? Steeling himself he closed his eyes, this was no big deal, He had faced monsters, hordes of enemies, even lived through getting skewered half a dozen times. This should be easy, yet as he opened his eyes the world seemed to come down on his shoulders. Every breath seemed harder to take, his legs felt weak, his heart started to race faster then a bullet exiting the barrel of a rifle.

"D...D....Daxin Sinclair, would you grant me the honor of being my partner...." he stopped and looked at her, seeing that she might blush he quickly spoke. "Business partner" he quickly added. though he really didn't want this he decided to add it in to try and make it less embarrassing for her.

Ajax moved across the floor like a ghost, Daxin attached to his arm. She seemed to be happy so he was content. As he passed people he "knew" he would bow and talk for a few, introduce Daxin and then move on to the next couple. He had to at least make his rounds before he sat down in his chair.

After what seemed like forever he moved to his Stone chair ad sat down, pulling Daxin onto his lap since his house maids forgot her chair and he saw the other women coming towards him. Get for some unknown reason they seemed to look scared when they looked at Daxin and turned a heel walking off. The band wasn't really playing anything to his liking so he would simply chill. Let the humans do as they liked while they where in his house. His maids scurried about getting drinks and the food, cleaning the plates, washing the glasses.

Ajax sat there with his hand around Daxins waist, not restraining her but not letting her go either, if she wanted to leave she could. He drank his special reserve that only he was allowed to drink. A few females came up every now and then and seemed to whimper out a greeting to Ajax and he would nod, most of them seemed to try and make it obvious that they where not married by making there hand noticibally have no ring. Getting a little annoyed about it he cleared his throat and the music stopped. Everyone went quite, Ajax hardly spoke aloud and most of the time when he did everyone wanted to listen.

"So thank you all for......gracing me with your company. This is the biggest party of there year after all right?" a few cheers and whistles where heard from the some hundred or more people there now, " but tonight is also cause for another reason," he said standing up holding Daxins hand in his own he smirked. He was about to freak her out, and he loved to make her blush. Now what was she going to say?

Price of Immortality

Ajax smirked and was already on his feet and taking his second step to the door as he left her vision because of her sticking her head in before closing the doors. As he neared he grabbed the handles to his closet and opened them, steppe din and closed them behind him.

-----------------------------------------((40 min having passed with out interruption))-------------------------------------------------------------------

The maids below where running frantic as they got the party ready, one of the maids walked past her masters door and she heard a scream followed by words that made her turn red. She quickly left and ran to the head maid telling her that there master was not to be disturbed. But as usual Ire was the one to keep Ajax on a schedule, or at least she was till that women came along, she server ajax since he was little and new everything about him. Except who this women was, why was she allowed to run the house as she thought fit, stealing her master when he had duties to do. This was not acceptable, not for a lord of the city.

Banging on the door, "AJAX, MY LORD AJAX, " huffing she stormed and and threw the doors of the closet open. Only to find that both parties hand clothing on, though a little roughed up. "My Lord....who is this? you know I...don't ask questions much and keep your...secrets, but you have never had another female in the room with out one of your maids here with you."

Ajax was standing up fixing his garments as the doors flew open, he was immediately assaulted with a bombardment of questions from his personal and head maid, well more like a nanny. She had served in his house for going on forty years, she was the only on to have ever asked why he never aged or anything, the only one that found out and was allowed to stay with out a memory wipe. "Well Ire, this is Daxin, my long time friend from....my home...the young girl i told you about" as he said Daxin Ire blushed and bowed. She said something about forgiving her and it was a pleasure to finally meet the mystical women that he was so fondly in love with from her lords memories.

Ajax turned red a little, looking at his clock his eyes turned wide, it had already been the thirty minutes that they where spost to be ready in. "O you noticed the my lord, yes as usual you are late to your own party. Though i prefer you being late over these circumstances, then not wanting to go since you don't want to interact with your own guests. Now shoo shoo go," she said as she knelt fixing Ajax's pants then standing fixing his shirt and jacket. Moving over she fixed Daxins attire as well. "Now you two love birds get out of here. "and i or Lord Ajax will answer your questions later Mistress Daxin," she said bowing hurrying out the door going to get ready for the party for the night.

Ajax and Daxin walked out fo there room and down to the ball room floor where his guest where already gathering, a few dozen in the room already. Ajax counted sixty, as they where announced every one clapped, well mostly everyone. A few of the girls in the room looked rather mad.

Ajax hooked Daxins arm and the walked back to his house, it was about three when they were back home and he made sure to take her to his bed and toss her into it and then pinned her down. "what you gunna do now little one?" he said chuckling leaning down and kissing up her neck to her lips. His hand moved down her arms and to her waist as he flipped her over and sat her on his hips. "we have a few hours before I have to get ready for this rather boring party, though I think since you are here it will be quit...entertaining" he said chuckling softly. Thrusting his hips up he made her fall into a kiss once more, "and to answer your question from earlier I mean the women whom think i am single, though i think i still am technically...for now" he said smirking. "Unless you want to be my mate that is" he said his cheeks turning slightly red.

After a few hours of laying in bed with her and kissing her, it was time for the ball. He had his servants talk with hers and bring her clothing over and had hung it up in his closet. Getting up he started to strip and change into his ball outfit. "Sweeti your is over there hanging up'" he said pointing with his nose to her gown. He chuckled since she had no where to hide to change, so he sat down and decided to watch. "Now come now get changed, we have to be down there in thirty minutes." he said with a wide grin. He had an arm-ware and a few different types of make-up delivered while they were out for her as well. His female made had come in and waited to assist Daxin in changing. "O don't be scared, I have already seen you naked plenty of times, though you had a boyish figure back then," he said chuckling to himself.

Ajax pinned her to a tree after lifting her to his height and kissed her, his hands where holding her bum to keep her up as he kissed her, he was happy. He had his forest and the women he loved, he could care less for the world out side his 10 foot stones walls. "do we have to? Can't we just stay here?" he said chuckling against her lips kissing her more. After a few moments of kissing her lips and neck he set her down, "Well i suppose we can if it is your wish, Oh and so you know...you might have to turn into an evil bitch a few times tonight. Just forwarning you" he said chuckling as he turned and left her hand still intertwined with his.

As the roamed the city Ajax simply smiled watchig her oo and aww at all the "wonders" of the city. He had seen it all already, hell he owned half if not more of it. But she had not and she wouldn't know he owned most of the city. As they shopped he was content simply being with her.

Price of Immortality

Ajax grumbled and looked up at the grandfather clock next to his bed, "women do you know what time it is?" he growled as he leaned up and kissed her lips. Getting up he let the sheet fall. Stretching his bones cracked, she could now see that Ajax was more scared then what it seemed like it was last night. His entire body was scared, the only part of him that didn't have a scare was his face. Moving to his closet he stood there legs apart and hands behind his back resting just above his bare bum, "So what should I wear this morning? Wait why are we up this early? either way, hmmmm" he thought to himself more then anything but he knew that Daxin would chime in. His thoughts and he had calmed down now that he had told her last night, he did not know if things where going to change but he decided that if they did he would accept them, good or bad.

After getting dressed Ajax made his way down stairs and out the back door, Daxin in toe hopefully. He was walking to the spring to make sure that the other occupants of the land where faring well this morning. And he wanted some fruit from the mermaids, they always picked the freshest and best fruit from the depths of the spring. Well to most it looked to be a spring but it was more of a lake under ground, they simply swam up to greet and interact with Ajax, since he was so kind as to rescue the original four from being killed by fishermen, some hundred years ago.

Ajax was rather sad that Daxin, left him to mull over what he had said. What a bitch, but he loved her so it was honestly, as the humans said, "Whatever", He stood up and went to his room and fell on the bed passing out, the sprites magical pants on him vanishing so he was left mooning the world.
