CLANG
"Harder!"
CLANG
My Kitana goes against Xerxes' knife, he has a lot more stamina then me! This isn't fair competition.
It's normal. I've been doing this for years. But your a natural dear
My eyes widen as he smirks at me. I completely forgot of the new ability our connection gave us.
"Stop!"
Santos yells at us and we obey. Santos says
"You will be fighting against three of our warriors"
He points to three tall men holding swords in their hands. I sigh and say
"This sucks"
Xerxes laughs and says
"Definitely"
The boys run towards us and start fighting us. One of the men waves his sword around me almost hitting my shoulder but I block him using my katana. While my katana is blocking his sword, my other hits his chest. Pushing him to the ground. However he gets up and we end up fighting again. Santos says
"You are one, in life and in war, fight as one!"
Once he says that Xerxes mentally tells me
You ready?
I nod and say
Yes
He puts his sword down while the two men he fought are down and I run towards him, he picks up my heal and throws me in the air, as the two men look at me terrified as I pull my katana out and push them both with it. They fall to the ground and faint. I look back to see Xerxes punch down the man who I was fighting. The man faints as well and Santo claps loudly. He laughs and says
"Good! Very Good!"
Xerxes smiles but I look down at the poor men we beat. I walk towards the two men who were fighting together first and sit on the ground. I put my hand on the ground. I push my mind and imagine myself being deep in the earth, it's very root. I imagine myself pulling the energy from that root and transmitting it into those men. As soon as I do that, they wake up and look at me. I smile as they get up and thank me. I turn around to see the third man is also fine. Maybe my magic reached farther then I thought. Xerxes holds my hand pulling me off the ground and says
"That was beautiful dear"
I smile and Santos says
"Nighttime is falling, there is a celebration today as well. The people will want to celebrate you. I advice you both to prepare for it."
We nod and walk towards our little house but Santos says
"That's no longer your house. You are our leaders now. Come. I'll show you your new home."
I look at Xerxes who is looking back at me with a glint in his eyes. We walk with Santos deeper in the forest to see the temple Miza showed us our first night here. Santos says
"This is your new home"
I smile and say
"Great!"
We enter inside and Santos says
"Well, I'll leave you be"
He gives a little bow and leave the temple. I look at Xerxes and that same look of earlier. I ask him
"What's wrong?"
He looks at me and says
"You know what's wrong, Hiraeth"
He says my name as a whisper of longing. I shake my head and laugh as I say.
"No Xerxes. That's not fair! You refused me"
He sighs and holds his head in between his hands as he shouts
"I know!"
I look at him and say
"Good, now you just have to remember that from now on"
He looks at me with sad and tormented eyes as he says
"I can't"
I look at him scoff. He says
"I was foolish, I wanted to preserve peace I thought I would have for a lifetime. But I ended up in this mess with you anyways...."
I look at him he continues
"But now I have a new problem, my heart betrays me...."
He walks towards me as I step back but he grabs my right hand by force and lays it softly on his chest as he quietly says
"My heart abandoned me the moment I met you. It pledged its loyalty, its being to you. My heart is no longer mine to own but yours"
I look at him and can't help but ask
"Why did you save me in the first place?"
He looks at me and comes closer. His tall frame overshadowing mine as he quietly whispers

"The first time I met you, you were drowning, abandoned by the people who were supposed to protect you, I though I hated all humans until I met you

The scorching sun shed its rays on your golden skin
The birds flied over you, singing songs of your beauty
The quiet waves rocked you quietly
The animals of the sea, worship your silhouette
You ask me why I saved you?
I saved you because you are beauty incarnate
Because you are the last of your kind
Because I saw a love I never thought existed manifest itself with you
I saved you because you are mine"
He grabs both my hands, pulling me closer. He gives me one last look before kissing me. His tongue tangling with mine, battling for dominance. I moan and push him away to breath but he doesn't allow me to. Instead, he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me even closer then I already was. I moan once more and he finally pities me. He stops the kiss and picks me up bridal style. He carries me for minutes until we reach the bedroom, not once however has his gaze left mine. We arrive in the bedroom and says
"Lamara"
The bedroom rearranges itself with new furnitures and linens. He lays me on the bed and rips my clothes off. I gasp at his sudden aggressiveness yet can't stop my hands from travelling around his shirt. He takes his shirt off and I take a moment to look at his glistening chest. He takes my pants off and then my underwear revealing me completely.He proceeds to lower his self between my legs and all of a sudden I feel a coursing energy through my clit. I moan and realize that his is tasting my clit, inhaling it. He stays there, tasting me for a while before I feel my pleasure increase to an amount that never happened before. His eyes cross mine while he keeps eating me, he says
"Cum for me"
My climax reaches its highest before I release. I scream while he moans before eating me all up. I grab him up and lay him on the bed. He looks at me with complete passion while I pull his pants off and then his underwear. I never realized he was that large in size, not that I wasn't pleased. I take his member and put it in my mouth. He lets out a soft moan and caresses my head. I take more of his length in and his breath thickens as he lowers my head. His length seems to thicken as he lets out one final moan and explodes in my mouth. I swallow his load and he pulls me up. He lays me on the bed before placing his length in front of my part. He slowly enter and I moan in pain. He whispers
"I'll go slowly, it will be over soon"
I nod and whimper as he slowly goes farther and farther into me until he is fully inside. Another scream leaves my body and the pain is soon replaced with pleasure and bliss. His strokes start to get faster and increase until he is fully impaling me with his length. Our moans fill the room and he whispers in my ear
"I love you"
My hand scratch his back as my climax increases and as I climax he whispers again
"I always will"
He moans and climaxes in his turn and we lay in bed completely exhausted. I look at the ceiling and say
"Xerxes?"
He says
"Hm?"
I look at him and plant him a kiss, which he gladly accepts. I tell him
"I love you too"
He smiles and plants me another kiss before sitting on the bed and pulling me up so that I am sitting up next to him. He takes his hand out and I see red energy rays coming from the room, manifesting themselves into his hand. I look closely to see he is creating a object. A ring! The ring has a clear diamond compressed shank and then in the middle, a big Ruby gem surrounded by other smaller diamonds. I look at it and gasp while I still creeps on my face. He takes my left hand and puts the ring on my marriage finger. He says softly
"Let this be a sign of our love. A sign of my eternal love for you."
I smile and look at the ring on my hand, my finger gliding over the ruby. I close my eyes and concentrate. I use my energy to command the wind to form itself in my palm, once I open my eyes, I see dusty wind come into my hand in the form of a ring but without a gemstone. I concentrate again and see that the climbing vines in the room are making their way over to the ring, concentrating themselves into a gemstone. Once it's finished, I smile, quite proud of my work.

I lay the ring on his left marriage finger and he smiles
