Something Isn't Right
The evening should come with a refreshing warm dip in a tub and after what Valentina had gone through today, that was exactly what she doing.
Valentina was in the bathtub, naked in the warm water, when the door to the bathroom had slid open.
She had briefly thought the intruder to be Kyros and that had brought a smile to her face for sinister reasons, until she turned to the door and realized the intruder was in fact someone she had never seen before.
The man stood firm and tall by the door, a white snake hanging around his neck like a big, dangling necklace, his red hair made into a long braid and resting on his shoulders, his green eyes, sharply observant, and the almost-transparent robe hanging on his shoulders, allowing her to see most of the green glowing strips that ran along his fair skin.
The water rippled softly as she sat up in the tub.
"Who are you?"
He smiled, pulling the door shut firmly behind him.
