Book one: The Grand hall Walk..
The white marble floor of the kitchen helped to light the large room of black and silver steel counter and cabinets. A black gas stove in one corner of the room with a window just above it so anyone standing at it could look out to and see the splendor of any given day across the wide large green court yard. On the other side of the room was the large steel refrigerator. To the left of the stove was a huge sink next to the sink was a highly polished face of the dishwasher. Who ever put the room together wasn’t thinking when they put the refrigerator on the other side of the room a person had to walk from one side of it to the other when they need to grab something out of it really quick when cooking at the stove. Warrior was standing at the stove with his back to the door getting ready to crack an egg into the frying pan he had heated up on the stove when Nancy came running in. Warrior turn his head just a little to hear he enter the room and spun the egg in his hand “good morning Nancy.” He paused to sense she was out of breath. “Would you care for some eggs this morning.” She held up the egg he had in his hand.
Nancy looked at his back trying to catch her breath “No” she said taking in a deep breath “But Blaze is at the front door for you.”
“Oh how nice.” He said calmly “Please show her in.”
“’I have her waiting in the hallway, but I would hate tell you this.” She walked over to him to look at his face “But you are down here and your mask is upstairs next to your bed.”
Warrior reached up and rubbed his face ‘Yes I can see where that might be a problem.” He said calmly “Would you please run up stairs and get it for me. I would like to finish making my breakfast.” Nancy wondered how Warrior could be so calm at a time like this. She shrugged her shoulders and run out of the kitchen. Just as Nancy was about to cross the doorway Warrior said “please ask Blaze if she would like some eggs for breakfast.” Nancy paused for a second and then proceeded to run out of the kitchen.
Nancy Charged through the main hall passed Blaze, up the main staircase down the long hallway that lead to Warrior bed room. She slammed into the closed door which flew wide open and bolted into the room. She quickly rolled across the unmade bed grabbed the mask off the bed side table rolled it up and placed it in her back pocket and cover the rest of it with her long shirt. She turned back to the door took another deep breath jumped back up on the bed and ran across the room down the long hall way, down the staircase and back into the grand hall and came to a stop at the foot of the staircase where Blaze was waiting “Sorry he’ll be right with you. She started to run off towards the kitchen when she remembered what Warrior had asked her “Oh.. Would you care for some breakfast?” She paused for another second think of warrior cooking “I believe Warrior is trying to make some eggs.” And she stressed the fact the Warrior was making them.
Blaze look at her trying to understand all of the running around more then why Warrior was in the kitchen making eggs at this moment “Yes that would be nice. Thank you.”
Nancy Nodded her head turned on her heels and ran for the kitchen. Warrior turned just as she came running into the kitchen. “What did she say.” He was standing with the frying pan in his hand.
‘Nancy was breathing heavy resting her head on the center counter. She looked up at him shocked that he wasn’t concerned with wither of not it was Blaze that could have walked in on him with out his mask on or if the young lady wanted some eggs for breakfast. “She said…” and Nancy took a deep breath in “She said yes.” And she stood up “we need to move the bed rooms closer to the kitchen.” Warrior chuckled. He knew what it was like to have to run from one side of the place to the other. “Here is your mask.” She pulled the rolled up mask for her back pocket and set it down on the counter.
“Oh Thanks.” Warrior said nonchalantly and set the pan down on the counter. He then reached over and carefully picked up the flesh like mask and placed the left edge of it front of his left ear. He then slowly started to smooth the mask over his jaw and over then bridge of his noise and finally over his forehead and right cheek leading over to his right ear. Warriors then slide his hands across the whole of his face to make sure it was in place properly. Nancy just stood there in amazement watching the whole thing and how clam he could be about it. “There we are. Now if you would please show Blaze in.” Warrior looked at Nancy “Ah Nancy Please show Blaze in to the kitchen.”
“Huh.. Oh..” Nancy Shook her head to clear it about how clam Warrior could be about almost being caught with out his mask on and forgot all about Blaze in the grand hallway “Let who in?” and then she remembered “Oh ya right Blaze.” Nancy turned and walked out of the kitchen shaking her head still trying to clear it. When she entered the grand hall again she saw Blaze still waiting by the font door. ‘Sorry about that wait, Warrior was not really in a presentable potion at the moment.” She turned and waved Blaze to follow her. “If you please follow me this way to the kitchen.”
As the two of them walked across the grand hall Blaze kept looking around. She had never seen the inside of the castle before “umm what is Warrior doing in the kitchen?” she asked.
‘Nancy said still breathing a bit heavy from all the running “I would like to say he’s making eggs for everyone and I would believe anyone who would dare to try his cooking.”
Blaze was still curious about things “what don’t you have any cooks or any other help in his beautiful place to help out?”
Nancy laughed “We have a few maids and a cook every now and then, but that’s about all.” Nancy thought about how much she should explain and then decided to keep it straight forward and as simple as possible “You see we like to do a lot of the normal thing in life as we possibly can. Expectably around the castle. With our business and Warrior having to be Warrior and Kathleen and myself being called the Warrior Maidens. We do try to have a little fun.”
Blaze was still unsure much, like everyone else what the family business was, but she was still astonished every time she heard them talk about it. “So you do everything for yourself around here.” She paused “ Why? I mean if you can have someone make breakfast for you then why do it yourself. Let someone else take care of you for a change. There is no point in doing something if you don’t have to. So why do it?”
“In truth we don’t have to do anything for ourselves here. It’s just we are use to doing things for ourselves. We don’t like having other people do things for us.” Nancy Paused finally catching he breather “Beside it keep us grounded a little and the hard work keeps us in sharp and partly combat ready.” Nancy though about how fun strapping brushes to there feet to cleaning the floors was “and at times it can be fun.”
Blaze caught of guard but they combat remark was lost in surprise “Wait you go into combat?” she paused wonder what the hell the family business was “isn’t that beyond dangerous for you.. I mean you could get hurt or even killed.” Nancy stopped and turned to face Blaze.
Blaze took a few more steps and then came to a stop “Nope.” Nancy said sternly Well here wee are.’ Nancy gestured to the doorway behind here that lead into the Kitchen
Blaze knew by her tone that it was the end of this topic “Thanks Nancy.’ She said and walked past her into the kitchen.
No problem.” Nancy said and turned to walk away. She shook her head wonder what they where doing in this high priced pampered town.
Nancy looked at his back trying to catch her breath “No” she said taking in a deep breath “But Blaze is at the front door for you.”
“Oh how nice.” He said calmly “Please show her in.”
“’I have her waiting in the hallway, but I would hate tell you this.” She walked over to him to look at his face “But you are down here and your mask is upstairs next to your bed.”
