SNAP, cracked the sound of a whip.
"Milady, please!" the man wailed, his shrieking echoing over the empty valley. He was on his hands and knees, his clothes in tatters, hanging off his body. To her left was a large musclebound man, with skin as dark as night. He held a whip in his right hand, and right now it dangled down, blood dripping to the grass to the right. The man on the ground, the whimpering one - had lashes raking over his skin. He was bleeding freely from the fleshy wounds.
The woman held up one hand, stilling the black soldier with the whip. She was dressed in a bloodred gown, whose satin trail grazed the shadowed grass. The gloves that reached halfway up her arms were satin as well, but the corset was velvet, and the choker black lace with rose shaped beads. She watched the punishment with unreadable eyes, lips together. Silent. Now she spoke.
"I allow you into my territory, from Vindi. I give you leave to practice your trade in my city." Jocelyn's voice slowly built from warm anger to scalding rage, "And you have the audacity to trample my hospitality with counterfeit diamonds?!" Lightning crackled in the air, as if echoing her fury.
"Milady, forgive me-"
"SILENCE!" At this, Jocelyn stepped forward, and her guard respectfully back. She slowly uncoiled her whip, which she held between dainty fingers. She snapped it once into the air. The man flinched. She raised her arm; he whimpered, and she lashed into his back with her thick, braided rope - it was more painful than the thinner whip. And he screamed.
"If you ever," she spoke between her lashings, SNAP, "set foot in my empire again-" SNAP. "I will kill you." SNAP. He screamed all three times. "IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!"
She raised her whip again, as if intending to hit him. He cried out in a language she didn't understand, but nodded his head, burying his face and tears in the dirt. "Yes, yes-yes, Lady Jocelyn."
She gave a disgusted shake of her head, but slowly began to wrap her whip up again. Without looking to her guard, she instructed, "Get him out of my sight." A nod of assent. Jocelyn didn't watch the man dragged away; she turned her gaze to the bloodied sun that had just begun to set. She stood, in silence, alone, watching it go. Bloodied whip wrapped around one hand. Thinking.

Senta had been watching the events unfold before him. He swoped down from the sky and landed near the woman. "That was truely amazing how you handled that guy. I'll bet he never sets foot in your territory ever agian." Senta turned around to look at where the man was taken off to. He now turned back to the woman. "I'm Senta Ak." He said extending a hand to her.

Jocelyn heard the sound of wings, but she didn't think anything of it - at least until the man spoke, jolting her out of her reverie. Joss was rarely ever surprised; she glanced in his direction, and her eyes widened ever so slightly. Wings. She gave a questioning tilt of her head, until he spoke.
She gave a small bemused smile. "Well, one can only hope. I can't believe he thought he'd get away with it." The stranger extended his hand, and, taken aback by courtesy, she shook it with her own. "Jocelyn Saber. If you don't mind my asking..." Her tone suggested she was going to ask anyway, "...what...or, who, rather, are you?" Her eyes kept slipping back to the wings. She'd never seen someone like him before. "Where do you hail from?"

Senta looked at Jocelyn and squinted his eyes at her. "I am Celestial Being. I hail from Sunnoria." He spat on the ground next to him. "Filthy scum! I hate everything to do with them and their fear of the dark." He made a ball of darkness in his left hand and a ball of light in his right hand. "They have fear of the dark because it is so much unlike them. Sadly, in actually it so much like them they'll never understand."
