Anastasia

king of Asia

Sorry I haven't updated in so long, happy easter 2024, and Eid Mubarak 2024.

King Pierre blinked us after telling his butlers he'd be right back.

We were in the castle, the floors and walls were white marble with golden designs around the borders, a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, there were portraits hung on the walls too

"I must leave you here Anastasia" Pierre spoke, I hugged him tight whispering a thank-you for everything in his ear, when he let go he kissed the top of my head, and told me to visit him again, to which I promised, he then turned to Damon and hugged him, he then proceeded to hug Dylan and Charlie before he blinked away.

We walked towards some voices I could hear and soon found a man, he was short and 'round' like Danny Devito, he wore a red sherwani, a sherwani is a long knee length coat type outfit that some men of India wear, he also wore an ivory coloured turban with a red ruby in the front. He saw us and furrowed his eyebrows

"I am queen Anastasia, here to see Prince Shakti" I greeted the man

"And does Prince Shakti know you're coming?" The man asked, to which I shook my head

"But we have met" I added quickly the man smiled

"Follow me queen Anastasia" he turned, he told the man he was speaking to, to wait right there, he then took us to an upper floor, he took us to a room, and told us to wait here, he then left, the walls in this room were red, the floor was white but there were red rugs, there was a coffee table and the ceiling was a big potrait, a potrait of the man that had told us to wait here. I looked to Damon as if to say are you seeing this? to which he just shrugged, I heard footsteps and I knew who it was, I went to the door and as soon as it opened I embraced him, Shakti, prince Shakti, he held me at arms length,

"Queen Anastasia, its been a long time" Shakti bowed to me, and I looked at his attire, Shakti wore a black sherwani with a belt around his waist that held a sword the handle of said sword was gold, I proceeded with introductions, we sat on comfortable chairs and got acquainted, I explained what we were doing, and why we were there, Shakti promised he would make arrangements,  he then called his father, the king, and when he came I gasped it was the same man that had bought us up here, I proceeded to apologise for not recognising him, but he brushed me off,

"Has my son offered you anything yet?" The king asked to which I shook my head, he smiled and clapped his hands twice, and a man entered the room, the man wore a white kurta that didn't look expensive but didn't look cheap either, he also had a red belt going around his waist

"Ram, get our guests some drinks" the king ordered, the man bowed and left

"Ram" I closed my eyes "Ram was a God?" I opened my eyes to see Shakti smiling and the king looked amazed

"I'm impressed your majesty, Shakti didn't tell me you know of our culture"

"Oh I spent a long time in India, in the mortal world, I picked up the language" I assured, to which the king smiled, Shakti then explained to his father why we were there, and the king, king Arjun was happy, and he, like Shakti, assured the arrangements would be made, the servent came back with four stainless steel glasses, the glasses were huge, they must have been as big as pint glasses, the servent served us each a glass, I thanked him, as did the others, and then he left, the glasses contained a milky drink, and after a taste test I confirmed it was lassi.

"What is this? I don't think I can drink it all" Dylan spoke smelling the sweet curd drink

"It is lassi" I spoke before Shakti or Arjun could answer "lassi is made with buttermilk and yogurt, its nice" I shrugged although I knew I'd have a hard time finishing mine, these glasses were huge.
