New game
N/A: What am I doing?
Kymri and Mara are displeased by Kitty´s presence. The healer is way popular and beloved by their Kurt and nothing, absolutely. Wearing revealing outfit does nothing (but Kurt notices when Kitty is wearing a yellow dress) and is infuriating.
Mara´s parents are the king and queen of a dying country, their incompetence and ineptitude lead the country to bankrupt and The Necromancer may as well be their last hope.
Mara´s parents are counting on Mara to marry the necromancer to gain political favours. And she failed them, more important, she failed herself.
Kymri is in no better state as she desires to be Mrs Necromancer with all her heart, but, once Kurt and Kymri did the devil´s tango, the man did lose interested in her.
Kymri´s country is a forever mass of land that is either forget or conquered to gain more land. If Kurt married Kymri ...now, that would change.
Kitty, on the other hand, is his favourite. A mere healer that has no real royal blood in her veins(she´s immortal, but, even so, that´s not impressive) shouldn´t be that enticing to Kurt, yet, Kitty is often receiving gifts from him.
The man is even teaching her a few defensives spells. This wasn´t a courtesy extended to Kymri and Mara.
"Kurt" Kymri starts speaking their birth language, German, once the Necromancer was passing by bored and aimless" Let´s spend some time together, it has been so long since we saw each other" Kymri has a clear notion on how beautiful she is. A buxom woman like her should gain his attention.
Sadly, that´s not the case. An Ill-disposed smile forms in his handsome face as now his arms are free.
"I´m busy Kymri, why you and Mara don´t play together" the tone is a mocking parental one and leaves the two women seething. Kitty Pryde must pay.
_______________________
Kitty was wrong in many regards of the harem, no one is secluded from the world, as Mara and Kymri receive letters from their factions. Kitty receives letters from the temple too. Kitty is immortal and all her family are alive in her memory(Kurt offers to bring them back, but, Kitty refused)
Today, a new set of letters caught her attention. Two sets of letters, both with royal symbols. Royal letters travel faster than regular ones.
"Genosha?" Kitty narrow her eyes and opens the letter carefully, no curse(it happened once, it was a nasty curse but thankfully Kitty get rid of it) as the handwritten is very familiar. "Oh, must be serious for Buckyroo to do that"
A small bamf is in her bed demanding attention as Kitty, letting a lazy smile place on her round face, complies much to his joy. The little bamf is now on her lap receiving attention as Kitty continues to read the letter.
"Oh, my Zaorva!" Kitty speaks now prompting the little bamf to look at her curious "little one, can you take me to where Kurt is?"
"Bamf!" the bamf exclaimed and without further ado, teleports Kitty to where Kurt is.
_______________________________
Fishing favour from the Necromancer, or Kurt as Kitty prefers to call, is something a bit tasteless in her mind. It would feel like she is with Kurt just to get a favour and she dislike this sensation.
If she wants something she can get by herself, no need to have a patron. But this is not about Kitty. Is about the temple.
"So, the temple needs help?" Kurt asked in such blase way that if Kitty didn´t really know him she would think he does not care.
"Yes, I know you´re smiling inwardly, but you´re our last hope" Kitty explained the situation. Kurt did let go of his blase attitude by smiling in victory.
Kitty can practically hear his mind saying something childish as "take that Zaorva"
"Can you help us?" Kitty asked once his smile breaks.
"I can certainly do something, but, why they send the letter by Genosha´s royal mailing?" Kurt asked as Kitty did recall all the details on the subject.
"Yeah, is a bit strange, Magneto is trying to isolate us...but send a letter to me? I´d think it was his son or daughter" then she thinks for a moment "no, I´d think is prince Pietro."
"Why?" Kurt is curious.
"Wanda and Lorna hate you. Sorry, they do,"Kurt´s hand waves as dismissing the idea" anyway, if they have no reason to intervene for the temple, even if they are doing this to me, is more likely they would face their father in person" now Kitty puts a finger on her lips for a consideration"Look, I´m a healer and I´m very old, but, I heard that the relationship between Magneto and the prince is very thin, to be nice, if his father wants to isolate us...why not go behind his back to prevent this?"
Kurt nods at her words.
"Yes, makes sense, and certainly it wouldn´t be the first time" Kurt has a dreamy expression certainly remembering a similar tale "I suppose I can do something, but, I´ll need to go to the temple"
"Of course, but Kurt, don´t be too arrogant, Zaorva don´t forgive that easily" Kitty exclaimed and as much Kurt did shiver a little, the man adds wittily.
"Oh, I don´t plan to be arrogant to Zaorva, just with regular humans"
________________________________________
Bucky is not thrilled to have Kurt in his presence. Again. As both make deals for his help, Kitty did manage to get a discount, but, his services are not for free.
"Can you help take our guardians and healers? Magneto is making impossible for us" Bucky explained tiredly to see his calm smile that is badly hidden the smug attitude of his.
"Of course, you guys love to help people ...HER name" still afraid of her, well, that´s some consolation " and make sure some of the rumours are dismissed, I don´t like rumours myself" looks at Kitty for a moment as the woman is confused by the last part. "Now, the rest is up to you, I can´t run the temple for you"
"It won´t be necessary, we just need to recover the political prisoners from Genosha´s allies, the rest we can manage" Bucky assured to the Necromancer "do you prefer we pay now?" as Kurt nods his head. Bucky just sighs and hands the sack of gold coins.
"Don´t worry Mr Admiral of Dawn" Kurt exclaimed happily using Bucky´s official title "I can help the temple"
"Thank you, Kurt, may you stay in Zaorva´s grace" Bucky swear this was spoken with utter respect. Is a routine for them, if Kurt shivers a little in fear, well, that´s no Bucky´s fault.
Kitty puts her hand on Kurt´s shoulder thanking him. Gently her hands are on his face as a tender and grateful smile appears. The shiver is over.
___________________________________________
The temple may not like Kurt all that much, but, no one will deny how powerful he´s and how his help was the decisive factor to make the temple gain more ground and wave the tidel against the machinations against Magneto.
All the political prisoners are safe and sound retelling their misadventure. Natasha and Steve are sided by side with Bucky as he is planning his next move.
"Pietro has news...in regards his own father..check out it seems odd" Bucky explained," a few days ago..."
____________________________
A few days ago, as the last prisoner is free. King Magneto didn´t take the news so well and even knowing how outmatched he´s against Kurt, Magneto decides to talk with him.
"Magneto!" Kurt asked joyfully waving to Magneto to comes closer, Magneto feels is better stay where he´s. "Oh, be like that, I know what you were trying to do," now Kurt is closer to him. To closer and Magneto is feeling fear pouring through his pours.
Kurt´s eyes seem to be gazing into his soul. Maybe, he´s looking at his soul.
"Trying to manipulate Katzchen to do your bidding? bad boy indeed, and very dumb, Katzchen hardly cares for politicians, she´s one of those good souls that want to help the others...like Magda" Kurt replied and Magneto feel like Kurt punched him hard "that was a sweet little girl who wanted to be a healer...what happened to her again?"
"Stop!" Magneto speaks in a croaked tone.
"As you wish, you´ll do me a great favour, do you know the princess of Wyr?" Kurt asked and Magneto nods, Lorna mentioned Kymri once and while "I did kill her and you´ll assume the blame"
"What?"
"Make the excuse you want, Wyr owns money to Genosha? Kymri offended the honour of Lorna? Anything, just said it was you" the last part was added in a macabre way "and in exchange and I won´t do what I did to her, make me repeat what I just said and I´ll do worse"
"I accept the deal"
"Good"Kurt pinch his cheek amused "and don´t try to do this again, Magneto, ok?" Magneto nods. Never once been on the other side. Being the weak and hopeless.
______________________________
"King Magneto killed Princess Kymri?" Natasha replied interested, Wyr is not a tactical place to conquer, unless you just want land.
" The prince said Magento is not alright if we want to strike, this is the time, Wanda and Lorna do seem to favour this revolution" Steve pipes in.
"What a family!" Bucky finishes and goes to see some of his best warriors, Zaorva preaches love and peace but also if someone disrespect you ...you´re in your rights to protect yourself.
_____________________________
Princess was taken away forcefully, her mother (in a desperation mode, tries to flirt with Kurt who found that gross) takes her daughter away. Kitty realizes that some of the factions who were supporting Mara.
Rich families who used to receive good reports and presents from Mara are now paying more attention to Kitty, much to her dismay.
As Kitty watches Mara go, one question remains.
"What will happen with the harem?" Kitty asked Bloodstorm, the woman had to stop the father from doing any stupid action if that means a bit of free blood for her, so be it.
"Well..." Bloodstorm thought for a moment "why don´t you go ask this for him?"
"Nah, Harems are a way to complex to deal with and to be honest, I´d like you very much" Kurt replied tenderly. Kitty is touched by his words "and the sex is great" Kitty now playfully hit his shoulder. Kurt just laughs in good humour.
The harem may be no more but Kurt still is a powerful necromancer and people still fear him. Kitty is the healer who is now under everyone´s eyes. However, as she teases the necromancer. Somethings did change.
