✖  YOU'RE LIKE ICE. I - C - E - Y.

Feels so nice, scorching me. You're so hot, hot. Baby, your love is so hot, hoooot!

 

For once in awhile, the Spooky Forest wasn't so spooky. The sky overhead was bright and clear. Completely void of any clouds at all. The air was crisp and light while the sunlight from the heavens was shining down in beautiful wide bands. Perfect weather for a ride in a convoy.

A four wagon detail of the highest mobile magical security that money could buy was toddling along a predetermined path through the forest of Spooks. From a distance, the setup looked imposing, but up close it was downright unnerving. Posted around and in front of every wagon was a massive kind of man that looked like he could break down an oak tree with his bare hands. In links between these men were sturdy-looking men in thin magical armor with the symbol of the Rune Knights glinting in the sunlight. In the middle of the four wagons, there sat a roofed enclosure that was being pulled by two magnificent black and white horses. This wagon had only a silken set of curtains separating it from the outside world. Whenever a perverse wind swept over the group, the curtains would flutter ever so slightly. Two silhouettes could be seen sitting inside this luxurious enclosure. One, the strapping frame of a man that held obvious power. The other, the slim build of a woman who held formidable power herself.

The sounds around the path the group was following were next to silent. So image the faces of the men around them when the "mind"-stimulating sound of a female squealing could be heard from behind the silk curtains. The eyes of almost every man widened a bit as their faces reddened. Ah, the stresses of work.

"You're so good at this!", the same voice from before called out from behind the curtains. One could only imagine what was going through the heads of those poor Rune Knights at that moment. At that very moment, a strong stray wind rocked through the convoy and sent the curtains sprawling through the air, revealing the two silhouettes inside.

The first was the epitome of mysteriousness, the Magic Councilman Kairi Yushima. Better known as Steigmaz Yoverin. The woman across from him was probably the most sociable Councilwoman of all time, Skylar Frost. The amount of magic power both held was immense. The amount of influence they held was even greater. Skylar looked over to Kairi and sighed as she set down her chess piece. "I can't beat you! No matter how hard I try!" Skylar's strawberry blonde hair flitted back and forth gently in the wind as she sat on the cushioned floor of their wagon.

The councilwoman smiled sweetly over to the man across from her. She honestly didn't know what all the fuss was about when it came to Councilman Kairi. She knew he was immensely powerful. It was kind of a job requirement. She knew he had his own goals and means to get to them. Another job requirement. It was weird, to be exact. Skylar was quite used to people treating her differently than they would others. Whether it be because she's a woman, because she's rich, because she's a damn good drinker. However, she did not sense these feelings of...strained kindness from Kairi. Either he was a very good actor or he genuinely enjoyed being here at this moment. She hoped that he did. He seemed to be the most fun of all the Council members. Harland was much too grumpy, and he talked more than she did. The Chairman was much too busy all the time and his icy demeanor got old sometimes, and then there was Slaine. He was just...never there.

Kairi was the only man who seemed relatable to Skylar.

The Empress of Frost sensed the other individuals about the same time as Kairi did. Her grey eyes watched as one of the weaker Knights was overwhelmed and beaten by a couple of bandits. The poor chap. Skylar moved a lock of hair out of her eyes and put her chin in her palm. A part of her wanted to see how this would play out, but it seemed her colleague had a different, much more interesting idea. The blonde smiled a little and nodded to Kairi. She watched closely as he flawlessly took out three bandits before his feet even touched the ground. And the quip at the end was just as dashing as his swordsmanship.

The woman waved the closest Knight to her over. The man saluted to her and asked what she needed. "Circle around Councilman Kairi and tend to our wounded man. And make sure no one interferes with Kairi. He doesn't need the help", she ended that last sentence on a matter of fact note. She looked back to the Councilman with a pleased smile. She meant what she said. He needed no help with these magots. His skill surpassed theirs like the distance between the two oceans.

While Kairi toyed with the poor fools, Skylar called another aid to her side and asked him for the reports about this area. As she skimmed through them, she nodded to herself. It seemed Kairi had called it impeccably. "So there is a intellect under all that muscle. Interesting!" Skylar's thoughts resonated on her face. She was pleased.

But maybe a change of plans was in the works.

Skylar handed the report back to the aid. The woman hooked a finger into her sleeve and then pulled out a black band. The band expanded at her touch. She held it loosely in her hands as she stood up and stretched lazily. "And Shard told me this might be boring...", the woman muttered to herself as she slipped the band into her hair and pulled it up and forward into a ponytail. Skylar had on a pair of tight dark blue jeans, black flats, and a navy blue and white striped t-shirt. The Councilwoman disappeared from sight and reappeared next to Kairi.

The last two bandits fell over, dead as well.

Kairi was probably the only one that had seen what she had done. She had moved behind the last two and hit them with a small but precise telekinetic pulse to the base of their necks. It had killed one of the bandits instantly, but the second one was a bit more tenacious. However, Skylar wasn't in a merciful mood when it came to evil men. Before he could even react, she raised her foot up to the side of his head and projected a oscillating telekinetic spike that pounded into him instantly. She had pulled back before any of his dirty blood got on her foot.

----

She wrapped an arm around one of Kairi's broad and powerful shoulders. "Wanna go have to some fun?", she said to him with a smirk. The gesture was adorable and she hoped he would say yes. If he did, the bandits population in the area was about to fall drastically.
