Cold and steady blue eyes surveyed the surroundings so casually, one could be forgiven for underestimating how meticulous the quick glances had been. A maze of overgrown green surrounded him as he leaned down to pluck a prim red rose. Mindful of the thorns and with expert care, Marluxia reared the rose to eye level, rotating it by the stem to examine the curio. He chuckled lightly before tossing the rose to the ground and curtly crushing it beneath his heel. Red paint stained the bottom of his boot.
Having penetrated this far into the Queen’s defences, the maze leading to her castle, one might think Marluxia had no time to dally with pretend roses. However, he was not so careless; he was merely waiting. A large blaze of flame and a turret of lighting exploded from yonder right, quite a distance outwards of the maze and more nearer the woods. Axel and Larxene were doing their parts perfectly. Still, Marluxia did not act and curled his fingers gently around the blond haired witches cheek, stroking with the affection of a lover and a stranger. She looked up at him expectantly and he smiled back at her. “Just a little longer, Naminè,”
The roar of motorbikes running through the bushels of the maze resounded to the pink haired assassin’s left. A little over zealous those brothers had always been and they were a few minutes early of the cue. However, Marluxia had taken their impatience into account; it would’ve been inconvenient if they had actually followed his prescribed plans, in fact. A two fold trap, the chaos Axel and Larxene caused would be thought of as a distraction for the straight forward charge Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo had driven straight for the castle. Finally, now was the time to act.
“Let’s go,” At his beckon, Naminè climbed up Marluxia’s kneeled form, onto his back and clung her arms around his neck, holding on for dear life. At a speed that showed efficiency and no haste, Marluxia made his way through the maze of green, avoiding the few soldiers and mercenaries still stationed in his way. Most were reacting to the other two threats. This was his chance. He was not known as the Graceful Assassin for nothing.
[Will soon be open for 2 participants who have chosen to stay by the Queen's side to protect her. As a condition, Marluxia and Namine's presence has yet to be discovered.]
