She sighs sadly as she went ahead and got ready. The dress fit her perfectly as usual, she left her hair down but put it in a side sweep, pinned to the side and put the mask on. As soon as she managed to finished there was a knock at the door and then opening revealing Val "Hey, are you ready?" She asked.
Zariah looked at her unenthused as usual "Oh my friend, I am so not ready. I really don't want to do this." She said walking towards her friend. Val couldn't help but laugh at her, the goddess has come out of her shell since she has been on Sakaar and been around Val, so she can't help and love her like a sister. "I know you don't Z but you have to. He likes you and as long as he does you are safe." Zariah just nods knowing she was right as she followed Val to the small stage they brought out to the middle of the arena like usual. The Grandmaster lets her sing whatever, he just likes how she sounds.
*Grandmaster's VIP Box*
The grandmaster turns to his guest smiling "Oh, you will love Dahlia." He says clasping his hands together in joy. He always loved hearing her sing, would find any reason for her to. The guest turned facing the Grandmaster, his eyes a piercing green with his black hair slicked back, he smiles "I'm sure I will. Maybe I may meet her after?" he says. The Grandmaster just nods as the concert begins.
*Arena Floor*
She walked slowly onto the stage standing in front of a microphone stand, the lights were bright as usual so it was hard to see the VIP box but she knew the Grandmaster was watching. She decided to sing a song that reminded her of Loki, how she missed him and what meaning he had in her life.
*This is the song she sings*
"I'm trying to hold my breath,
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
Cause darling, without you"
She sung with all her heart as the crowd sat quietly listening to her, the Grandmaster as always.
"All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough"
By the time she was finished she had a tear fall down her face, the pain in her chest hurt more, luckily the mask hid her tear, she bowed gracefully as she left the stage meeting back up with Val. "Hey, the Grandmaster wants you. He wants you to meet his new guest." Zariah couldn't help but to roll her eyes, she hated meeting his guests, normally they try and touch her but luckily the Grandmaster doesn't allow it unless she says so. Guess you could say that was one courtesy.
As she followed Val to the VIP box, she kept her head down, she could hear many of his guests whisper about her but she ignored them as usual. She reached the Grandmaster as he had a huge smile on his face "Wonderful as usual Dahlia!" he says as he gestured her to take his hand which she did so she didn't disappoint him "My guest was very pleased; he actually wants to meet you."
She scoffs a bit "Don't they always... I am not interested sir." He couldn't help but laugh at her demeanor "Yes well this one is quite different. He's a prince. Ah here we are." They came up to a gentleman with long black hair dressed in dark armor, he was talking with other people in the room as they reached him, she bowed deeply like she was told to do anytime she met the Grandmaster's guests "Ah yes, this is Dahlia, my alpha and my singer as well." The pain in her chest worsens as she kept her head down "It's a pleasure to know you enjoyed the concert sir." She said softly as she was ready to just get out of there.
"Yes, I enjoyed it very much, my lady." The gentleman replied. What stopped her wasn't the manner he spoke but the voice itself. She glanced up realizing who the voice belonged to. It was the one person she mourned, who she thought was gone from this world forever, her love, her soulmate.... "Loki..." she whispered, too low of a whisper to be heard.

"Well, my lord. I am glad you enjoyed it. Now if you'll excuse me Grandmaster, I would like to retire for the night." She turned to the Grandmaster at her side as he gave her a nod. She looked at Loki again in anger, her eyes flashing a bit of purple enough for him to notice this. He watched her walk away, thinking it couldn't be... it couldn't be his Zariah.
