[Flashback] A new home

[Lassaria]

Summer 510 AV

The caravan Lassaria traveled with had already left for another city, once they had finished selling their merchandise to the docks of course. She had already made the deals with a man during her state in Syliras about buying a house in Zeltiva. She was however unable to make any further steps in the city because of her feelings.



She was finaly in Zeltiva. Nivath, her mendor in hypnotism used to talk to her about the university and the great knownlege it could provide to young schoolars such as herself. The only thing she had to do now was to make sure they would accept her in, she wasn't afraid that she might fail any kind of exams or anything similar but she was nervous about her nature. As far as she knew there were no Dhani in the university and that would make her the first. However would they agree to have a child of Siku among their mostly human students or they would simply cast her out because of her very nature?



She realized that no mater what she had to try but first she would have to find her house. The man had told her it was near the university and he also gave her a small hand written map of how to get there form the main gate. She took the map of her backpack and started to walk towards to the diraction that it was pointed to her. However she couldn't notice the two men from the dark alley on her left that followed her as soon as she began to walk with their right arm holding something that their light brown cloak covered.

Walking to the busy streets of Zeltiva unnoticed made her relax. It looked like she had mastered her human form well enough to live in their society and even consider her as their own, as long as her secret was not reveal to them. Who would feel safe with a "walking stomac" stalking around their peaceful town. Not that she could blame them after all she had seen first hand where her kin's sadism could lead.


Lost in her thoughts she didn't realized that she had walked into a different direction. When she finaly looked around it was already too late and the map she was given couldn't help her much. She sighed telling to herself:
"Well serves me right for not paying attetion...now then I need to find a way to return to the square or at least to the docks. On the other hand however there is nobdy here...how strange"



it was then when she heared steps behind her it appeared the two men kept following her even when she entered in that district. They have already drew their blades when she turned. The biger one, who appeared to be the leader spoke first It's very dangerous for a young lady to walk like that to the streets your parents should have told you that. Now give me and my brother here and you wont get hurt He said with his deep voice while the other man who appeared to be his younger brother continued "You better listen to him. You don't want to see my brother angry neither I. So give us this backpack like a good girl and we might let you go...untouched"

A grin appeared on Lassaria's face as the second man spoke. She began to laugh, she laughed for a while when she turned back to them with her eyes's color changed. She ingored the tall man and gazed into the eyes of his younger brother. Her voice was now deeper like she was talking inside the mind of the man who was unable to look away. "How does he even dare to order you around like you are some kind of kid? He thinks he is so mighty but both of us know who pulls the strings don't we? You are more clever than he will be in a lifetime yet he command you...you can't take it anymore!" She said as she began to gaining control over the feelings of her target who simply repeated "I can't take it anymore..."




The taller man had turned on his duraction shouting at him "Come to your senses we don't have time do talk about this now we..." He suddenly stoped souting and turned back to Lassaria. His was angry now, his face was red from the shouting and his musles were visible on his arms and chest. "You blasted witch...release him or else you are going to die! He yelled to her and without waiting for a n answer he charged her with his sword lifted over his head. His rage didn't allow hear Lassaria's words that command his brother to attack nor listen to him running towards to him only to stab him from behind. In the end the only thing he could feel was the taste of his blood and the world fading around his eyes as he was dying.



Lassaria walked closer to her target who was covered with the blood of his own brother, the grin on her face was lost and it was replaced with a cold aura. The man flet on his knees once she was close enough staring into her eyes. She spoke to him with the same deep tune she had spoken before. "You did well my pet...now you just need to relax, close your eyes and try to forget everything around you. Breath deeply don't be bothered with anything just remain still". She said as she took the blade from his arm and pointed it to his chest, she then closed her eyes and said with her normal soft voice "May you find peace" With that she stabed the man with his own blade on the left side of his chest causing him a fatal wound. The man died quietly and the color of Lassaria's eyes went back to normal as she stood up. There was nobody around, and that calmed her down a bit. She walked away from that place thinking. "Is that the civilized city the humans has to offer? Tsk and they called my race brutes.... That day she decited that no matter what she had to pass through she would be proud to be a dhani and not a human.
