.. not what I had in mind for him, but it's a start .. ^_^;

Title: Stormlord
Challenge: None
Wordcount: 90
Characters: Xaldin, (Larxene)
Notes: The best way to deal with upstarts is, sometimes, to do nothing. Or at least make it appear that you do nothing ...


It would be so very easy; to ride down on wind's swift wings and plunge one perfect gleaming lance into her empty breast, silence her grating tongue and send her helpless to the void.

But he is wiser, darker than such a thing. A wasted effort.

Far better to whisper breeze-softly rebellion in her mind, turn a blind eye to her bluster and her pathetic plans of treachery.

He will ever and always outlast her, undo her.

What could the strike of death-bright thunder prove, against unyielding storm?

Manipulative and I like the tie-in to how Xaldin might have planted the treachery in Larxene's mind for Castle Oblivion. The opening line was the most catching for me.

Xaldin strikes me as one of the most manipulative amongst the Order, despite (or perhaps because of?) his ferocity in combat.
I also can't help but have the suspicion he would see Larxene as something of an affront to his own ability ... but one which came with a convenient means of being removed, with patience ^_-

The opening line was the first bit that came to me, and it's still what caught my fancy best ... XD

Yes! Die Larxene DIE! *cheers Xaldin on*

Hehe. Seems he's a quiet sort of planner, though. Alas for us; it would have been nice to see him strike, mm? XD
