eastofthemoonHere's the second to last drabble. Today's Prompt was games.
Title: Relations
Series: Slayers
Characters: Lina and Naga
Rating: G
Prompt: Games
The blizzard raged outside the inn window. Lina tuned it out as she stared at the chessboard. Nothing else mattered, she could care less if the whole room suddenly burst into flame. There was no way she was letting this happen. She refused to let Naga beat her at chess.
Naga laughed haughtily as she moved another pawn. "Ohohoho! If you want Lina, I can graciously let you admit defeat now and all you have to do is buy me the next ten dinners."
Lina snarled as she glared furiously at her pieces. When Naga had suggested they play chess to pass the time, Lina had thought she was joking. Of course, Lina became smug when Naga revealed she was serious.
This was chess, the most intellectual game on the planet. Beating an idiot like Naga would be a breeze, and yet somehow Naga had been kicking her butt.
Divine intervention Lina mused. That has to be it, but what kind of divine being would help Naga.
Naga yawned. "To be honest, going against you is child's play compared to my sister."
Lina's hand froze as it hovered over the board. Had she just heard what she thought she heard? "Did you say sister?"
Naga whipped her hair over her shoulder. "Why, yes, my darling little sister, now she's a real chess master." She smiled proudly. "Of course, great women do run in my family."
Lina stared with her mouth open. Yes, she figured that Naga hadn't come out of thin air, but to actually hear that the woman with the most horrible laughter in the world had actual relatives was startling. Not only that, but this person was an older sister?
Lina felt instant pity for Naga's little sister. It would be amazing if they were able to grow up sane with Naga around. On the other hand, as far as Lina knew, that little sister could be an identical copy of Naga.
A cold shiver crawled up her spine as a mental image of a younger Naga laughing her head off appeared. Dear Gods, TWO NAGAS?! What a nightmare!
"Lina," Naga whined. "Are you making a move or not?"
Lina shook free of her nightmare. "Yeah, yeah, I'm going." There was at least one safe conclusion, Lina would never have to face this possible sister of Naga's. I mean seriously, Lina thought. What are the chances of a person meeting two members of the same family. Feeling reassured, Lina selected her knight and moved to play.
