A request featuring Azena from Lost Ark and an OC. Also my first non-Warcraft story.
***
The radiance of the Sunkeep's palace walls beamed down upon Nox as he made his way into its ancient chambers, striding past guards that recognized him but paid no heed to where he was going or what he was doing. The crown jewel of Rothun was huge, with expansive rooms and a long network of hallways whose walls were lined with intricate carvings coated in gold and silver. Though he had been here many times before, he knew not his way around the palace except for one destination: the throne room. His gait was swift, and he crossed the long gallery leading to the Sylvain Queen's royal chambers in hasty fashion. The innermost room where Azena resided was open, and as he stepped into the well-lit room he noticed that she was not lazing upon her throne as she normally was when he visited. His eyes adjusted to the sunlight permeating the room, and he turned his head to find her gazing out of a window overlooking the city when he entered, one hand resting upon the window sill and a stern expression on her face. He stepped further into the room, but she did not immediately acknowledge him. Instead, she peered out across her city for a few seconds more before finally turning to him. Her expression softened slightly, but her deportment remained as austere as ever.
In appearance she was tall and slender, with a pretty face, long ears and full lips. Her eyes were a mysterious steely blue bordering on gray, and she stood with her weight resting upon one hip in a pose that she was frequently inclined to taking, and one that he found to be particularly sexy, though he wasn't sure if she knew it. Her outfit was distinctly Sylvain, with her legs uncovered and both her navel and her full breasts partially visible due to an arrow-like split down the middle. As always, she wore an elaborate headpiece that matched her sultry robe, completing her look and making her appear not only regal, but also enchantingly beautiful.
"Have you come to entertain me again? Then I shall make myself comfortable." Her voice carried a certain power within it that seemed to echo in his ears; it was husky, imperious, and distinctly feminine. She seated herself atop the throne then, one leg crossed over the other and her full attention upon him. After frequent visits and time spent with her, Nox was used to this; he did as he usually did, playing her music and chatting with her for some time. She was mostly reserved, opting to listen to what he had to say in regards to his latest exploits, as well as news about other continents, countries and people. Besides music and conversation, he often brought her gifts from around the world. Usually they were simple trinkets and souvenirs, but this time he presented her with a lustrous red gemstone from the nearby land of Feiton.
"It looks quite expensive," she said, inspecting the blood-red jewel with a sparkling hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "Hmm... I will take it. Graciously." She nodded towards him in thanks and then flipped the stone over in her palm, that satisfied gleam in her eyes turning to something more wistful, until she was no longer staring at the gem, but through it instead. "Nearly every day you bring me gifts, play me music, and provide me company," she began, her gaze slowly focusing upon him. "Tell me, human, what is it that you really want?"
With her eyes upon him, he struggled not to fidget in place while searching for a proper response. "Your favor," he finally offered, his answer coming out almost as a question.
"Hah," Azena laughed, her lips curving into a sly smile. "My favor?" She uncrossed and then crossed her legs, briefly flashing him her underwear. Purposefully or not, he couldn't tell, but he noted that they were a dark blue in color. Her voice then took on a playful tone laced with feigned ignorance. "I've already gifted you with a variety of things to help you on your quest, what more
favor
could I possibly provide?"
Inclining her head, she looked down at him from atop her wide, cushiony throne, one arm crossed and the other resting upon it with a finger brushing against her lower lip as she was prone to doing. Once again he scrambled for an answer, swallowing nervously but trusting that mischievous look on her face as he answered: "You."
"Me? You'll have to be more specific I'm afraid."
"Your... body."
"My body? How arrogant! How bold! You dare ask such a favor from a Queen of Rohendel?" Azena leaned back as if disgusted to be near him, but her expression softened upon seeing his reaction. "Sorry, I couldn't resist giving you a hard time." Azena smiled genuinely. "I will give you what you want. You have done much for me after all, and I think your boldness deserves its own reward." Her head turned towards the door to her chambers, and after an unseen incantation, the sound of a heavy door latch clicking into place sealed the deal. They would not be interrupted.
