"Highness?"
Blair's delicate fingers strummeded his lute's strings in a mournful melody, not looking up.
"Highness, please." Simon said again, louder this time.
"Leave me." Blair said, his attention never wavering.
"Very well." Simon waved a hand toward the big man, bound and gagged and held in place by two burly guards. "Execute the beast."
The music stopped. Blair swung his legs off the arm of his plush throne and sat up straight. "Belay that."
Hiding a sad smile with a downcast glance, Simon said, "But Highness...."
"What is this all about?" Blair snapped, his blue eyes glowing with supressed rage. "What is that..." He waved a fine boned hand toward the prisoner. "...That filthy hu-man doing here?"
"The creature was captured on the northern edge of our territory, Highness," Simon said. "The providence mayor thought it would make an excellant gift for you. Tribute, Highness."
"A hu-man?" Blair roared, a mystical wind swirling the young prince's flowing curls "I am given a....a hu-man as tribute?"
Tag-gart has always been an arrogant bastard, Highness. It is why you favor him."
Blair's smile didn't reach his tortured eyes. "You may be right." He set his lute on a nearby table and glided down the four steps of his raised throne. "It is....suffiencently restrained?"
"Yes, Highness. You are in no danger."
Blair wandered around the bond man, cataloging the broad shoulders, the tapered waist and bulging muscles in tightly tied arms and legs. "The hu-mans? They are all shorn like this one?" he asked, touching the buzz cut wheat hair.
The captive jerked away, earning a fisted blow to his face by one of the guards. The man fell heavily and curled into a prtective ball on the carpeted floor.
"Stop." Blair roared, halting the guard mid-swing in a brutal kick.
"Highness?" Simon said.
"Is this how my tribute is treated?" Blair snarled, hunkering down to turn the human gently so he could examine the damage done. "Gods....." he croaked, seeing for the first time the battered features. "This creature has been brutalized. Who did this?"
"The hu-man was not receptive to his capture, Highness." The second guard said. "It had to be violently subdued."
"And this..." Blair waved a had at the man huddled at his feet. "This is the end result?
Simon shrugged. "It's only a hu-man. Tag-gart thought you might be amused in extracting revenge for the death of you betroathed on this creature."
Blair jerked to his feet, the cyclonic winds of his anger whipping around the throne room. "You would have me torture this beast for what others of it's kind did? You dishonor Mya with the mere mention of this idea."
Simon bowed low. "Apologies, Highness."
Blair nodded once and turned back to the injured human.
He reached out a hand toward the beast. The human's blue eyes widened and he quivered, but held his ground. There was courage in the face of fear in this one. Admirable in one of this creatures kind.
Blair said, traced a cut, thick with caked blood, over the beast's high forehead. "Send for the healer?"
"Highness?"
"The healer. Send for the Queen Mother now, advisor. Then leave me with my new....pet."
"Highness, you can not keep it alive."
Blair rocketed to his feet, the winds back stronger than ever. "You dare tell me what I can and can not do?"
"No, Highness," Simon denied. "I would never..."
"Right. Do as I command, advisor. Bring the Queen Mother to me. Now."
Naomi whirled into the emptied throneroom on a breeze of spring flowers and summer rain. "La, sweet prince, why have you summoned me in such a rush? You know how I hate to be rushed, child mine? What can be so...." her rambling words cut of sharply aas she saw the human. A look of timid curiousity whispered across her animated features. "A hu-man?" she whispered, tillting her head for a bettter look. "Oh, its been injured. Poor beast. Who has done this to the animal?"
"That's not important, mom," Blair smiled gently, reaching a hand toward his frail mother. "I beg you. Will you heal the creature?"
"Heal it?" Naomi clapped her hands excitedly, scurrying forward.
The human cringed away, scurrying into the closest corner. Fear and pain battled for dominance in his clouded blue eyes just before he ducked his head into the corner, protecting himself from the gods only knew what.
"Mom, go slow." Blair said. "Wait there a minute." he approached the human with slow, cautious steps. "Easy, now. No one is going to hurt you, hu-man.," he said softly.
Reaching the shuddering creature, Blair eased down on his haunches and lightly touched the beasts arm. The hu-man cried out and tried to roll into a tighter ball against the wall.
"No, hu-man," Blair cooed. "You are safe. Do you understand? Safe."
"Undo his bonds, my son," Naomi advised. "He is terrified. You need to give him a sign of good faith."
Blair's head jerked around. "Mom, you are not to mind link this creature. It's a wild beast. Undoubtedly a predator."
"If you think it is so dangerous why have you dismissed your guard?" the Queen mother demanded. "Have you decided this creature would be a good way to end the royal line? You're words are silly when compared to your actions."
Blair had the grace to blush, but hid it behind his hair as he bent to untie the trembling hu-man. It was slow work since he spaced the deed with soft caresses. and even softer words of reassurence. By the time the beast's hands were untiled, he had raised his head and was watching the young prince with less frightened eyes.
Blair smiled. "He's calmer, mom. I'm going to leave his legs tied, just to be safe. You can come closer now. But slowly. Don't make him think you are a danger to him.
Naomi crept forward and knelt beside the watchful human. "Oh, such a lovely beast," she whispered, her delicate hand eased out to touch the animal's face. "And so mistreated. How can anyone do something like this to a poor defenseless beast."
"Hu-man's are far from defenseless, mom. They are brutal predators in the wild."
"Not all of them."
"You think not?" the young prince challenged. "Release him from your mind link....."
"I'm not...."
"Mom, don't lie. I know when you lie."
Naomi smiled brightly. "Then I ask again, why have you dismissed your guard? If you fear this hu-man, why endanger yourself."
Blair's hands waved helplessly in the air. "I don't know. There is something about him. For some reason I know this hu-man will not hurt us. Will be important to me somehow."
Naomi tilted a sideways glance toward her son. "You sense that, do you? Beware, young prince. If the advisors hear you speaking of senses beyond your range, you will be in danger from a more powerful source than this one damaged hu-man."
Blair chuckled. "The advisors will never hear it from me. I like my position way to much to give it up for such stupidity." He smoothed his hand over the hu-man's quivering arm. "Can you help him?"
"It will not be easy, Blair. The beast bleeds inside. " Naomi's hand glowed over Jim's stomach.
"No..." The hu-man tried to curl away from the non-touch.
Blair cupped the beast's face forcing him to meet his gentle gaze. "Easy, hu-man. It's all right. You are safe. Do you understand? Safe."
"Safe?" the hu-man spoke softly.
"It's a mimic. How nice for you." Naomi said, the glow growing in intensity.
"Hurts."
Blair laughed. "Not a mimic, mom. A translater. The hu-man is knowing of the Elfin laungage."
"Yes, I heard," Naomi said grimly, folding her hands in hier lap. "And he knows your secret. You must destroy him before he speaks out of turn."
The hu-man's eyes darted from queen to prince. "You.....protected me.....Not betray....you."
Blair caressed the strangely alien face, grinning widely. "Heal the creature, mom. I command it."
"Blair..."
"You are touching his mind. You know he is worthy of our trust. Heal him if you can."
Naomi nodded, then returned her glowing hands to the beast's stomach. "If you betray my son's trust, I will give you a death that can not be imagined." she told the beast.
The creature nodded. "I pledge...to the master."
The glow intensified. Lines of pain flickered over her delicate features and eased in the hu-man's as the empath took the injuries wihin herself.
