Hakim and the newly appointed General walked through the cool  marble hallways towards the Harem Lounge. Darius certainly stood out with his dark-as-night skin and the near lack of clothing he wore. He was wearing his leather loin cloth and necklaces that marked his rank. Bands around his arm and sandals completed his look. Normally he would not wear a tunic but today he had adorned one since he was in the presence of the Sultan.<br/><br/>Sultan Hakim, on the other hand, was dressed from head to toe in his royal robes and headscarf. A strong man himself, he paled in comparison to Darius. It had been a while since Hakim had even needed to lift a sword while it was Darius's duty to lift a sword quite frequently.<br/><br/>The two were locked in discussion as they moved casually, at a pace designed to get you places with out breaking a sweat in the high heat. "Darius, as a reward for your recent feats and promotion, I am bestowing a great honor upon you. I will let you have your pick of my Harem for the night....including the Harem Queen if that is your desire. My faithful Enuch here can explain to you a little about each girl, but there is one here that I will choose before opening the rest to you."
