============================================================

EPILOGUE:

KISS FROM A ROSE

Sia, the King of Dragon's Lair in the Shadow Realm (Yup copied from my other fic.) looks out boredly out his window. He has defeated countless of princes and kings, human and inhuman alike with his shadow games. There is simply no one left worth playing with. Then there is a knock on his door. "Come in!"

Two humanlike figures with white dragon's wing comes in, and bows down to their king. Sia looks at them briefly and gazes back out his window. "So. Did you find me a new toy to play with?" "Yes your majesty, we have. He is a mortal, a pharaoh of Egypt. He is called The King of Games in the Shadow Realm, and Pharaoh Khalfani in the mortal world."

"The King of Games, huh. Is he that good?" Sia looks at two. The dragon girl speaks, "Yes your majesty. He is very good. He has been playing for 10 yrs. now, and had not lost one as of yet." Sia rubs his chin and his eyes are glittering an evil hue. "Why have I not been told about him if he's been playing that long." Now it's the dragon boy that speaks, "Words travels slow in our kingdom sire. They fear us and wish nothing of us, remember. They think us blood-thirsty killers *he gruffs* Humans!" Sia thinks for awhile, and gazes back at the moonless night of his realm.

How to get him to come here, without him being suspicious. A plan comes to mind. I'll just have to get him unguarded, away from his palace. Surely a pharaoh goes out for rides, Alone! "Nuri, Nuria! Follow him everywhere he goes. And keep track of his daily routines. Return here when the moon is Full! Now go!" The two disappears into thin air obeying their master.

Soon I'll have a new toy to play with! I wonder what he'll be like? Hope not a skinny ugly thing, like the last human I played with. Sia begins to plan his abduction and a new game to play with this so called King of Games.

The Preparations

Sia is in his study, waiting for Nuri and Nuria to arrive. It has been 2 weeks since they left to spy on the little pharaoh. Today he will set in motion his plans to bring The King of Games here, to his world. The thought of a new toy excited Sia very much, he has already heard news of the pharaoh's last game, and he is very anxious to play with him. Finally, some real challenge. Soon there is a knock on the door; it's probably those two already. "Enter!"

The two dragon child enters and bows before him. "We've returned your majesty. And we have good news for you today." Said the dragon boy Nuri. "Yes, it seems our little pharaoh is also bored and wishes for a new challenger worth his time. He will with out a doubt take your offer of challenge willingly." Said the dragon girl Nuria. "Have you found a time when he will be completely alone and unguarded?" "Yes your majesty." Said the two together. "Every first day of the week at dawn he goes horse-back riding to a remote oasis. He will be alone but he is quite capable of protecting himself." Replied Nuri.

"Is that so? Nuria! You will bring him here first thing tomorrow morning. And try not to scare my toy to much, I want him to be at his best when we duel." Sia stared at Nuria, smirking at the thought of how she last abducted his challenger. She was still young and didn't quite transformed herself as a whole human, she appeared with only her torso's human, but from the waist down was all dragon. His last challenger was scared stiff and stand glued to the ground, so he told her to just leave him there, he was not worth his time dueling if he faints That easily.

The girl nods in reply, "But sire, what if doesn't wish to come? He has to be willing to come, if I am to bring him here." "If he is that bored, he will come, a true duelist does not give up a chance to challenge someone who he thinks is worth it. And Nuria, I Am worth it." He smirks at her and sits down a huge scarlet covered chair. "Go rest now. You will have to leave early in the morning to catch up with him." "Yes sire, good-night." Nuria leaves quietly out the balcony and transforms into a white dragon and perches on a nearby tower. "And you Nuri, prepare a room for our guest. He will be here for a while." "As you wish sire." And Nuri walks out a back door.

This is going to be fun. I can't wait for tomorrow, it's been a while since I've felt so . . . alive!

At the Mortal World = = =

Pharaoh Kalfani climbs up his steed and let's the steed run in full gallop. He has been wishing for this day to come. For it is his only day that he can be alone, away from his royal duties and responsibilities. He closes his eyes enjoying the wind stoking at his face. He has finally arrived at the outer walls of the palace, the street is still empty of people but a few are out setting up there tents and preparing their merchandise for sale. The air is filled with the aroma of fresh bread and other sweets. He hurries on out of the main road and into the wide desert outside his kingdom.

Dawn at the secluded oasis = = =

Nuria is already at the secluded oasis, waiting for the little pharaoh to arrive. She has manage to appear as a human girl, except for the fact a little hump can still be seen on her back. She puts on a white cloak to hide any imperfect parts that can be seen, as long as he doesn't get near her, he won't notice that her skin is in fact scales. She hears the hooves of a steed galloping nearer and hides behind a bush near a palm tree.

Khalfani finally arrives at his secluded oasis and takes in a deep breath. "Alone at last!" He jumps of his steed and ties it to a nearby palm tree. Once he is certain that his steed is tied firmly and has enough water and grass, he slowly walks to the oasis and lays down of the soft and partly wet grass. It is cool to the touch if not eluding his senses. And he closes his eyes and listens to the stillness of the desert. "I wish there is someone worth playing a game with." He thought out load. "I've beaten everyone I've come across and all of them were worthless." He sighs out loud, and hears a soft chuckle behind a bush. "Who's there! Come out and show yourself!" Khalfani jumps out with his hand on the hilt of his blade, ready for any surprise attack.

A voice comes out from behind the bush, it is feminine, cold but harmonic, "Are you really that bored? Care for some Real challenge?" Nuria appears out from the bush, and stares at the little pharaoh. He is beautiful, erotic, the Master Will enjoy Entertaining This One!

"Who are you? What do you mean by Real challenge?" Khalfani stares at the little girl before him, she looks around 5 or 6, but her voice betrays her true age. Then he notices that her skin seems to be shining in the sunlight and there is a bright glow in her eyes. "Who and What are You." Kalfani demanded. "I am called Nuria. And my Master wishes to Challenge you to a duel, that is, if your brave enough to accept it." Nuria put a tinge of sarcasm into her voice, luring the little pharaoh to accept this Duel. "I Do Not back down from any Duels, I accept your Masters Challenge!" Cried out Kalfani, angered by the fact that this girl dares to call him a coward, indirectly, but it did Hurt his Pride. He decided to make sure that this master looses so bad that he will regret Ever challenging him! He smirks ruefully, confidence over flowing, he has never lost a duel before, nor will he Ever.

Nuria smiles, her master was right, he is overconfident of his skills that he willingly accepted a challenge without asking Who he's dueling With. "Very well then. Are you ready to leave?" "Where is Your Master anyhow? Why didn't he came here himself and challenge me? Or is he scared or something." Nuria glares at the pharaoh menacingly, "My Master is unable to come to this world, unless summon by someone powerful!" Khalfani stares at her bewildered. Did she just say Summon? "Wait . . ." "To late now! You've already accepted the duel, there Is No turning back now." Nuria slides off her cloak and her wings and tail sprouts out, soon they are transported into the Shadow Realm.

Khalfani finally is able to focus to his surrounding. He looks forward, there is a tall structure, a castle perhaps, it's nothing like the palace's he's seen before. He looks more closely, it's made out of stone, One Big Stone that seems to reach the stars! Then he looks all around him, there is nothing but stone mountains all around him, no flat lands whatsoever. "Where are We? This Is Not the Shadow Realm, is it?" Khalfani demanded, and looks at the girl behind him. He has a shock look on his face, because now he saw her for what she truly is, a dragon cub, a Blue Eyes White Dragon to put in fact. "Your a Dragon! I thought they don't exist!" "Only in your world. We are in the Shadow Realm now, anything is possible." "Shadow Realm? This don't look like the Shadow Realm that I know." "We Are in the Shadow Realm, only at a different part of it. This is the Dragon King's Lair, my Master, King Sia, rules over All Dragons."

"You mean there are kingdoms within the Shadow Realm?" Asked Khalfani. Nuria stares at him blankly, and this is suppose to be The King of Games of the Shadow World? "Yes, there are kingdoms within the Shadow world governed by there own king of their species. Ours is but only one of The Great Inner Circle." "How many are there?" "The inner circle consist of the Dragons, Elves, Giants, Beast, and the Undead. Then they are each divided to their own subspecies." Khalfani absorbs all this, in all his time dueling, he didn't even bother to learn more about the Shadow Realm. He will have to talk to Dabir (tutor/record keeper) about this.

"Come. My Master awaits." Nuria guides Khalfani towards the castle.

Deai (Encounter; Meeting) = = =

Nuria leads Khalfani in the inner chambers of the castle. And enters a grand room, use to entertain guests. "Wait here. The Master will arrive shortly." She nods farewell and leaves out the door.

Khalfani studies the room around him. It feels ancient, dusty and full of relics. Faience (glazed earthenware with elaborate designs) tiling depicting gods and battles of past ages lined the walls and doors. Lapis-lazuli figurines decorated a graphite stone table, with papyri scrolls and tomes (a bid fat book) scattered haphazardly around them. The ceiling is painted with dragons, light elves and beasts at war with what looked like giants, dark elves, and the undead. The whole room has the feeling of the ancient pasts in it. Then he notices a movement behind a long heavy velvet scarlet curtain. "Is someone there?" He questioned to the person behind the heavy curtain. A shadow of a man comes out from behind the curtain, and looks back at him.

Sia had been spying at his guest for awhile. He took note of every feature of the young pharaoh, and with every observance, he grew wary of his attraction to him. The pharaoh had a golden glow to his skin, making his appearance even more enticing. His facial features, though dark, was alluring. And his eyes, a crimson red, had a feel of danger in them, yet sensual at the same time. A slight smile falls upon Sia's face, yes, I will make him mine, no matter what.

Khalfani stared at the man before him, he blushes a little, thankful that his face was covered by the dim light of the firelight. The man was tall, he probably barely reached the tip of his nose. And his skin was pale, like the moonlight. And had shoulder length golden brown hair with a plain reddish gold band sitting on top of his head. The he noticed his eyes, a deep kind of blue, but not blue like the sky, or a still clear lake, more like the inner blue of a flame. He felt as if he was being sucked in through them. Khalfani licks his lips as he stares at the man's lips, a full, and kissable lips, the things he'll do to taste those sweet lips on his. Suddenly he becomes aware of the man in front of him, and shakes his thought out. "Who are you?" He tries not to stutter but his lips wouldn't cooperate.

Sia tilts his head and scans him from head to toe once more, liking what he sees. I Will Enjoy Entertaining This One, My Way, after I defeat Him that is. He clears his throat before answering the little pharaoh. "My name is Sia, the King of Dragon's Lair. Welcome to my humble abode Pharaoh Khalfani, or is it The King of Games?" He snorts a little at the ending. Khalfani hears this and retorts back, "Pharaoh Khalfani would do fine, as it is my true name." Sia smirks a little, so he can talks back, feisty little one isn't he, I think I like him even more.

"Now, about the duel you challenge me with. Are you ready to play or what! I do have other things I'd like to do today!" Khalfani said out with annoyance.

Oh, I have Other plans for you later my little pharaoh thought Sia. "First we'll have breakfast. I doubt you had yours yet? Then we can discuss about our duel."

Khalfani nods in silence, just noticing he was hungry, he left so early that breakfast wasn't prepared out for him yet. "Very well. Then after that, we duel." Khalfani said with authority in his voice.

Sia gives him a cold stare and retorted back, "You are my guest Pharaoh Khalfani. It is customary that we enjoy ourselves first before attending to our . . . affairs."

Soon they have breakfast in silence. But the two are thinking of sensual thoughts of each other, more like What they Plan to do with each other afterwards!

Sia's thoughts = = =

Sia can picture Khalfani sitting atop his bed, and smelling of sweet Egyptian rose. He thinks of how smooth and silky his skin will be under his hands, and how he wishes to cover it with kisses, every single part of him. And to feel his muscular chest heaving up and down on his cheeks. The very thought had started to arouse him, and he planned to beat him in a hurry so he can seduce him to his bed.

Khalfani's thoughts = = =

Khalfani glances quickly at Sia and then to the meal in front of him. He thinks of Sia and his kissable lips. He can almost taste his sweetness upon his lips. And he envisions his tongue worming it's way in his mouth, feeling and tasting it, enjoying it, loving it. How delicious it'll be. And to warm those pale skin of his with his golden one, massaging those broad shoulders, caressing his silky golden brown hair. A fire starts to build within him, a raging fire that needs to be quenched. He wants this man as his prize, even for one day. He will make this Dragon King love him, want him, desire him, and to think Only of Him!
