Phantom Queen Book one

Chapter Two

Emnos and Dhuna, they are trying to take me.
A drunk Ark appears beside me, he glares down at Emnos. “I am surprised you can stand, Ark.” Emnos says with a laugh, Ark sways and places a hand on the wall to steady himself.
“Emnos leave her alone. Come drink.” Ark says with a frown, I watch Emnos push Ark who falls to the floor easily, I glare up at Emnos who grins down at me.
“That was useless, love.” He says as he cups my cheek and we vanish, a room appears around us. I look around to see a oversized bed taking up almost an entire wall of the room with a large wardrobe beside it and a small desk on the other side of the bed, I feel the heat from a fireplace behind me. I see Dhuna appear over near the bed, I glare up at Emnos as fear wreaks havoc inside me, as I try to fight against the magic holding me still. He grins down at me as I feel something metallic touch my throat, I feel the magic between Ark and I breaking down as well as the chain that binds us. The swords vanish in my hands as the magic vanishes inside me, and Emnos laughs. “I did not think that would work.” He says with a grin.
“I had my doubts as well.” Dhuna says with a frown as he watches us.
“Let me go, Emnos.” I say angrily as I glare up at him trying to hide the fear.
“You can play tough all you want, love. I smell the fear on you.” He whispers as he leans closer to my face, I feel a hand around my throat and fear takes over as he lifts me off the floor to his height. “I, Emnos, God of Lust claim you Morrigan, as my demigod. You are mine.” He says as his violet eyes glow, I feel magic surge through me and I watch a new chain form to bind me to Emnos. I fight against the magic as I feel it form, but it continues ignoring me. I feel my feet on the floor again and he lets go of my throat with a grin.
“Ark lied in more ways that one.” Emnos says as he watches me.
“How so?” Dhuna asks as he walks over to us, I feel his magic releasing its hold on me, I glare up at Emnos and punch him. He lands on the floor with a laugh, looking up at me.
“You are not allowed to hit me, love.” Emnos says as he stands and I feel the magic bind me to his words, I fight against it angrily wanting to punch him again. “She is a reincarnation of Morrigu. I can see everything she is capable of; it is quite interesting.” Emnos says as he looks down at me.
“How do you know it is Morrigu?” Dhuna asks him as he watches me.
“Who else do you know that can turn into a crow?” Emnos asks him as he looks over at him.
“Good point, that would be an interesting thing to witness.” Dhuna says with a smile.
“Turn into a crow.” Emnos says to me with a smile.
“I do not know how.” I say as I glare at him and cross my arms.
“Reach into the magic between us and find the node that is for that ability. I am surprised Ark did not teach you this.” Emnos says as he watches me, I reach into the magic and I find the node he is talking about and I grab onto it with my mind, I feel a small bit of pain shoot through me as I feel my body change. I feel myself hit the floor as I open my eyes, I look up to see both of them smirking at me in amusement.
“Did it work?” I ask annoyed, and Emnos laughs.
“She can talk while in that form too.” Emnos says as he continues laughing, as Dhuna tries to control his own laughter.
“Glad I am amusing to both of you.” I say angrily as I watch them, I look down as I spread my arms and I see wings with black feathers. I think of all the times I have watched a bird take off from the ground, I turn from them and jump as I spread my wings up behind and above me bringing them back down and I feel myself lift into the air. I fly up and almost fall off when I land on one of the posts of the bed, I look down at them as they turn to look up at me.
“I am surprised she managed to do that.” Emnos says with a smile as he looks up at me.
“I like watching birds.” I say annoyed.
“Enough to figure out how to fly as one, it seems.” Dhuna says as he watches me.
“I can see from examining the ability that if I force a change it will cause her extreme pain.” Emnos says with a frown.
“What kind of pain?” Dhuna asks him.
“It will feel like she is being ripped apart, because she more or less will be by magic.” Emnos answers.
“Are you going to force me to change?” I ask him feeling fear rise in me.
“I will not, as long as you behave.” Emnos says with a smile. “Change back to human.” He says as he walks over to the bed, I let go of the magic in fear he may give the order. I feel my body change back into my human form as I fall gently onto the bed, I look up at both of them to see Emnos with a huge grin on his face and Dhuna’s face turning red as he turns around.
“What is wrong?” I ask with a glare.
“Nothing at all.” Emnos says with a laugh as I notice he is not looking at my face, I look down to see I am naked. I grab the blankets on the bed and pull them to cover myself up as Emnos start laughing again. “I did not think it would be that easy to get you in my bed naked.” Emnos says as he laughs harder.
“You are a jackass.” I say angrily as I glare at him, Dhuna turns back to face me with a frown at Emnos.
“You really are unable to help yourself, aren’t you?” Dhuna asks him.
“You have to admit, that one was too easy.” Emnos says with a grin at him, I see a small smile creep on Dhuna’s face.
“Yes, it was, but you do not have to comment on it.” Dhuna says to him.
“I am unable to resist.” Emnos says as he grins down at me.
“Give me clothes, Emnos.” I say angrily.
“No, I like you better this way.” He says with a laugh. “You should leave Dhuna.” He says to him as he watches me.
“No Dhuna should stay!” I yell at him, and Dhuna vanishes. Fear rises in me as I slide across the bed away from Emnos. “Emnos stay away from me.” I say as I feel my back hit the wall.
“That would be no fun.” Emnos says as his eyes glow, I watch him crawl across the bed towards me and I tighten my grip on the blanket as I feel a hand slide under the blanket and grab my ankle.
“Emnos, let go of me.” I say as I try to pull my ankle out of his grip, he pulls me towards him and I fall on my back on the bed as he gets in between my legs. I hold the blanket over me as tight as I can as he props himself up on his hands on either side of my head smiling down at me.
“You give a lot of orders for a demigod.” He says with a laugh.
“Emnos, please get off me and give me clothes.” I say to him as I try to control my fear.
“No, we will stay like this until I get tired of it.” He says with a smile as he watches me.
“This is not appropriate, get off me Emnos.” I say as I push against his chest, he lowers his chest down against my hands and I feel fear taking over again.
“Do not fight me, and I will not make this worse.” He says with a smile, I stop pushing against him and he backs away to where he was before.
“Why are you doing this?” I ask him as I go back to holding the blanket tightly to me.
“Because I want to, I feel how uncomfortable you are and your fear. Eventually you will get used to it.” He says as he watches me.
“Those are usually reasons to stop what you are doing.” I say angrily.
“Not for me.” He says with a grin. “I heard you liked running away from the palace, why?” He asks me with a smile.
“In the palace I was more or less in a cage, I was not allowed to do anything or go anywhere. I wanted to go out into the world and help protect people with my magic.” I say as I watch his violet eyes.
“How did people respond to having a princess in their midst?” He asks me with a grin.
“I made myself look like a peasant; I would blend in with them. The only ones who knew what I was were the special guard my father sent after me.” I say with a smile as I think about it.
“How did you survive? Take money as you left the palace?” He asks me with a frown.
“No, I would work for money. I have been a barmaid, an unloader at the docks, I even once worked in a kitchen at an inn.” I say with a laugh.
“What is the longest time you have been away from the palace?” He asks me with a smile.
“Three years, I managed to avoid his special guards all that time. I gave myself up to them so I would be back in time for the Gods visit to the palace. Then Vhaanth ends up taking me away from the palace after me just arriving a few days before.” I say as I laugh thinking about it.
“I do not think I have ever met a princess who is capable of living on her own before.” Emnos says with a grin. “Most of them would faint at the idea of having to take care of themselves.” He says with a laugh.
“I take pride in the fact I do not need all the luxuries of a palace to be happy. I was happier sleeping on a straw mat than I had ever been in the bed in my room, at least then I was free.” I say with a frown.
“As long as you behave, I will allow you to have freedoms here.” Emnos says with a smile, as the room starts to brighten up with the sun rising outside. I feel someone appear in the room and I look over at Ark’s back, he turns to look for me and he sees me. I have never seen Ark angry before, but what I see in him is murderous rage.
“Emnos! Get off her!” Ark yells angrily as he charges towards us.
“Careful Ark, she might want to get off the bed to fight you.” Emnos says as he looks back at him, Ark looks at me and he suddenly realizes I am naked under the blanket. I see his face turn red as he takes a step back, Emnos laughs as he watches him.
“Emnos, get off her now.” Ark says as he calms himself down, Emnos lifts himself up and gets off the bed to stand by the bed, I cover my legs up with the blanket as I watch them.
“What is it that you need, Ark?” Emnos asks with a grin. “Make sure to keep those homicidal thoughts locked in a cage while you talk, unless you want to see what is under the blanket.” Emnos says with a laugh.
“Disown her, Emnos.” Ark says with restrained rage.
“No, I like having her. She is fun.” Emnos says with a grin. “Just admit there is nothing you can do and leave, I am keeping her.” Emnos says as he looks over at me, the magic inside me alerts me to danger and I feel my body start moving across the bed towards them, Ark sees me and I feel the magic stop and I wrap the blanket around me when the magic stops making me move towards them.
“I am sorry, Morrigan.” Ark says to me with a sad look on his face, and vanishes. Emnos grins at me as he gets back on the bed with me, I feel the blanket moving and I grab it tightly.
“Emnos, let me keep the blanket.” I say as fear rises in my as I feel it being pulled from my grip, I tighten my grip on it as he laughs.
“Let go.” Emnos says as he watches me with a grin and I feel my hands release the blanket, he throws it off the bed and starts toward me again. I cover myself with my hand in between my legs and my arm across my chest, crossing my legs as I watch him appear on top of me. He looks down at my body with a grin as he looks back up into my eyes. “This is a better look for you than the blanket.” He says with a laugh.
“Emnos please let me cover up.” I say as I feel fear rise up and tighten in my throat.
“No, personally I think you are too covered up at the moment.” He says with a frown.
“Emnos, please.” I say quietly as I feel his hands on my thighs.
“What are you afraid of?” He asks me as he stops and looks back into my eyes.
“What you might do.” I say as I tighten my arms against me, he grins down at me.
“What if I said I am not going to do anything?” He asks me.
“Why would I believe that?” I ask him angrily as I glare at him.
“Lay your arms out to your side and spread your legs.” He says to me and I feel the magic grabbing me to make me obey, I fight against it as I feel my arms and legs do as he says. I feel tears in my eyes as I try everything to fight against it. I feel him in between my legs again and he watches me as he grabs me thighs and lifts them to rest on his legs as he leans back over me propping himself up on his hands on either side of my head. “Am I doing anything you were afraid of me doing?” He asks me with a smile, as he glances to my chest.
“Emnos please let me cover up.” I say to him as I fear tears fall down my face.
“No, when did you find out you had magic?” He asks me with a frown.
“You want to talk about that now?” I ask him angrily as I glare at him.
“Why not?” He asks with a puzzled look. “Answer the question.” He says with a smile.
“Eight years old.” I say angrily.
“I have never heard of a sorceress getting magic at that young of an age before, that usually happens around the ages of twelve to sixteen.” He says with a frown. “What was happening when you gained your magic?” He asks me.
“My mother and sisters were being.” I hesitate to say the words with me laying naked on a bed under him, he frowns and then I see a sympathetic look appear on his face.
“You do not have to say it.” He says as he watches me. “You also do not have to worry about me doing that.” He adds with a frown.
“I find it difficult to believe you.” I say quietly.
“I prefer women to be willing, makes the experience enjoyable.” He says with a grin. “You should sleep, demigods require sleep while they are gaining power.” He says as he glances down at my body again.
“I hope you do not think I am going to sleep like this.” I say angrily and he laughs.
“No, I do not.” He says as he gets off me and the bed, I watch him pick the blanket up. He throws it on top of me and I roll over towards the window with my back to him, I feel the bed move near me and I glance back to see him laying down beside me.
“What are you doing?” I ask him as I move closer to the window, I feel his hand glide across my side and his arm wrap around me as he turns to face me, he pulls me closer to him as he pulls the blanket over him.
“Cuddles.” He says with a grin, I glare at him.
“I do not cuddle.” I say angrily.
“Too bad, I do.” He says with a laugh as he pulls me against him. “Complain about it and my clothes will vanish, go to sleep.” He says with a grin, I glare at the window as he presses his body against me.
“How am I supposed to sleep like this?” I ask him angrily.
“By closing your eyes and your mouth.” He whispers in my ear. “Now go to sleep, I am serious about my clothes vanishing.” He whispers as I feel him kiss my neck, I close my eyes and try to force myself to go to sleep and ignore the feeling of him against me. Eventually I feel myself fall into a deep sleep.
I roll over onto my back as I wake up, I open my eyes as I sit up and stretch my arms above my head to get rid of the pain in my back, to see violet eyes watching me with a grin. Memories flood into my mind of everything that happened and I look down to see I am still naked; I grab the blanket and cover my chest. I glare at him as he laughs.
“I like your hair more when you just wake up, love.” He says as he watches me slide off the bed with the blanket wrapped around me.
“It is annoying thing my hair does, I have to brush it every time I get out of bed.” I say angrily as I walk over to the wardrobe and open it, I look at the clothes inside to see only his clothes. I step back and turn to him with a glare. “Am I going to get clothes to wear, or do I suffer the rest of my life with just a blanket?” I ask him angrily.
“I prefer without the blanket.” He says with a grin as he watches me. “You will get clothes when I want you to wear them.” He says as he leans back in the chair. I turn back to the wardrobe, grabbing one of his shirts, I start to pull it on. “Stop.” I hear him say and the magic stops me, I throw the shirt at him and he laughs as he catches it. I feel someone appear in the room and I turn to see Dhuna.
“Make him give me clothes.” I say angrily as I glare at Dhuna.
“Why does everyone think I can control you?” Dhuna asks him as he frowns at Emnos.
“I don’t know but I enjoy it.” Emnos says with a grin.
“I do not enjoy it; they get mad at me when I fail to do it.” Dhuna says as he looks at me. “Are you going to give her clothes?” He asks Emnos.
“I might.” Emnos says with a smile.
“Theros is starting his festival today, I do not think this is the appropriate dress for an event.” Dhuna says as he motions to the blanket.
“You are right it covers up too much, mind grabbing me one of the outfits? Preferably black.” Emnos says with a grin.
“Theros still uses those things?” I ask with a frown.
“You have seen them before?” Dhuna asks me with a grin.
“Yes, he once made all the maids at the palace put them on and took them out to the ocean for a beach party. He took me along as well, but I didn’t have to wear one.” I say with a smile as I think about it.
“How old were you?” Emnos asks me with a smirk.
“Thirteen.” I say with a frown.
“That is why he didn’t have you wear one too.” Emnos says with a laugh. “Go get me one Dhuna.” Emnos says to him, and I feel Dhuna vanish. Dhuna comes back a few moments later with the small outfit in black as Emnos wanted. “Come to me.” Emnos says to me and I feel the magic make me move towards him. “Might want to leave or turn around, Dhuna.” Emnos says with a grin as he looks past me.
“Drop the blanket.” Emnos says to me and I feel my hands release it, Emnos dresses me in the two piece outfit, I glare at him as he adjusts my chest in it and he grins at me. “Brush your hair.” He says as he sits back down, I turn to see Dhuna’s back to me.
“I am as dressed as I think I will ever be, Dhuna.” I say angrily as I walk to the wardrobe, and Dhuna turns around with a laugh. I take the brush from the wardrobe and walk over to the mirror; I look into my eyes and freeze. My eyes are different, they used to be green now my eyes are blue with swirls of lilac in them. “Why do my eyes look this way?” I ask them as I get closer to the mirror to examine them.
“That was how all the Gods knew you were a reincarnation, they changed in front of us.” Dhuna says to me. “Have you not looked in a mirror until now?” He asks me.
“No, I haven’t. I didn’t sleep at Ark’s him and I were constantly dueling.” I say as I stare into my eyes in the mirror.
“Did you ever beat Ark?” Emnos asks me.
“Every time.” I say as look at the designs of lilac on the blue, I step back and brush my hair out as I look down at the outfit, the top part is made up of two triangle pieces of fabric held together with strings, and the bottom is a larger upside-down triangle that covers my privates held together with strings that tie at my hips. I frown at Theros’ taste in clothing, as I finish brushing my hair
“Dhuna, I do not think she would be very happy to find you staring at her bottom.” I hear Emnos say and I turn to see Dhuna’s face turn red and I glare at him.
“Both of you are disgusting.” I say angrily as I place the brush back into the wardrobe, as Emnos laughs as Dhuna glares at him. Emnos stands up and walks over to me his eyes looking up and down my body, he offers his arm to me with a grin I glare at him as I take it and we vanish. The ocean appears in front of us with large platforms attached to the mansion floating on the water, I look down at the Gods lounging in the ocean between the platforms and I see Theros. He looks over at us as we walk onto one of the platforms, and he grins at me.
“Morrigan, I have to say I love seeing you in one of my outfits.” Theros says as he walks towards us in the water.
“Why does it not surprise me you would say something like that, Theros?” I ask him with a laugh, he holds his hands up to me and I let him grab me to bring me down into the water.
“Because you know me.” Theros says with a wink as he sets me down on the floor under the water. “How did you end up with Emnos? Last time I remember seeing you, you were at the gathering with Ark.” Theros asks with a frown.
“Emnos kidnapped me from the gathering and removed Ark’s claim.” I say angrily.
“Then I claimed her.” Emnos says from behind me.
“You better be treating her right Emnos.” Theros says with a frown.
“I am.” Emnos says with a laugh.
“He will not give me a dress; I have to walk around the room in a blanket.” I say angrily to Theros.
“I cannot say I would be any different.” Theros says with a grin as Emnos laughs harder.
“It is not nice.” I say as I glare at Theros, he frowns at Emnos as much as he is capable of and I still see a smile under it.
“Give her clothes Emnos, stop being depraved.” Theros says to him, and Emnos laughs again.
“I hope you do not think I will take you seriously.” Emnos says to him.
“No, but I thought I would at least try.” Theros says with a laugh. “Why have you kept her out of sight for the past forty years, Emnos?” Theros asks him with a frown.
“What do you mean?” I ask Theros with a frown.
“She was sleeping.” Emnos says to him.
“I slept for forty years?” I ask Emnos as I turn to look up at him and he nods, I turn back to look at Theros. “My father?” I ask him and I see a sad look creep onto his face.
“He died about twenty-five years ago, Morrigan.” Theros says to me. “I am sorry for your loss.” He adds quietly.
“How? I just went to sleep yesterday.” I ask as I frown at him.
“Demigods require a lot of sleep because of all the magic inside them growing when they are first ascended. What feels like just one night of sleep to you, is actually a lot more than that.” Theros says with a sad smile.
Are you okay?
I am fine, he never really acted like he was my father anyways.
I look around at the Gods and I see Ark, he smiles at me and I smile back at him. I watch as he makes his way over to us and he grins down at me.
“How are you, Morrigan?” Ark asks me.
“I am fine, Ark.” I say with a smile.
I feel what you feel towards him.
I think of him as my father, he spent more time in the palace than any other God. I used to play in the halls with him as a child, he spent more time with me than my father ever did.
So, technically your father is not dead.
Right, he is standing in front of me.
“Emnos you should let me have her every once in a while, so I can duel her, I know Aife would love it as well.” Ark says as he frowns at him.
“As long as you promise not to try to steal her back.” Emnos says to him.
“I don’t know how you did it, but that is a promise I can never make.” Ark says with a glare.
Seems he feels the same way towards you, lucky I have you as protector. Otherwise, he might try to attack.
“If you want you can use my arena here.” Theros says with a grin, I turn and look up at Emnos.
“Please?” I ask him with a small smile, he looks down at me with a frown.
“I guess you can, but I want to watch.” Emnos says to me, and I grin at him.
“Thank you, Emnos.” I say to him. Emnos, Ark, and I touch Theros and we vanish, an arena appearing around us like the ones Ark has. I vanish and appear at one side as Ark does the same.
“Kick her butt, Ark!” Theros yells at him with a grin, and Ark laughs.
“She is going to kick mine.” Ark yells back at him, and Theros frowns.
I feel the swords appear in my hands as I watch Ark’s battle axes appear in his, we smile at each other and then charge towards each other to clash blade on blade. I let the fight last longer than I needed to just to enjoy fighting him, until I see a large opening in his attacks and I jump into the opening causing him to fall back on the ground with me standing on top of him with a blade at his throat. Ark laughs as he lays on the ground, Emnos and Theros appear beside him looking down at him.
“Why did you let her beat you?” Theros asks him.
“I didn’t, when I fight Morrigan I give it my all every time and she still beat me.” Ark say with a grin as I hop off him to stand beside Emnos, Ark stands back up and grins down at me. “I am starting to think I will never beat you, Morrigan.” He says with a wink.
“Morrigan, fight me.” Emnos says with a frown down at me.
“Okay.” I say with a grin as Emnos vanishes to the other side of the arena.
I watch him as he starts walking towards me as curved blades appear in his hands, I feel an attack coming and he disappears, I move to block the attack as he reappears behind me his sword hitting mine. I see surprise in his eyes as he backs away, I let him continue trying to attack me blocking every hidden strike before it lands, as he comes towards me for another I feel an opening in his attack and I move to the side out of the way where he is going to strike when he reappears and point my blade near where his throat is going to be, he reappears as my sword moves into position. He looks over at me with a frown, as his swords vanish.
“How do you do that?” He asks me as I let my swords vanish.
“I feel the attack coming and I move to block or take advantage of the easy kill.” I say as I grin up at him, he laughs.
“Easy kill?” He asks me with a smile.
“Your attacks are easier than Aife’s.” I say with a laugh, Theros and Ark appears beside us.
“See what I mean, Emnos?” Ark asks him with a grin.
“Yes, I do now. To people watching it looks like you are just walking into her attack clueless. But when you are actually fighting her, you don’t see it coming.” He says with a frown.
“I want to fight her.” Theros says with a grin, and Emnos nods as him and Ark vanish to the side. A spear appears in Theros’ hands and my swords appear back in mine again, Theros immediately swings and I am already moving out of the strike before the spear moves. I watch as he repeatedly tries to attack me and I either dodge or block, the grin on his face growing as it continues. I see an opening; I take it and watch him fall on his back and I raise my sword to his throat.
“That is fantastic.” Theros says with a laugh as he looks up at me. “It feels like you already know what I am going to do before I do it.” He says as he stands up.
“It’s because I do.” I say with a laugh, as Ark and Emnos appear beside us.
“Still think I let her beat me, Theros?” Ark asks him with a grin.
“No, not anymore. I threw everything I had at her and she dodges it like I was throwing feathers at her.” Theros says with a laugh.
“Well, she is the reincarnation of Morrigu.” Ark says with a smile down at me.
“Explains why you two have always got along so well. War and War best pals.” Theros says with a grin.
“I didn’t even think about that, it would explain it.” Ark says with a frown.
“God help us all if a previous Lust comes back as a demigod. Emnos and the demigod would rule all the whorehouses in the world.” Theros says with a laugh, Emnos frowns at him.
“I already have my demigod; you have the Lust if it appears.” Emnos says to him as he wraps an arm around my waist.
“That may not be true, Emnos.” Theros says with a frown.
“Why?” Emnos asks glaring at him.
“Vhaanth decided to bring back an old God custom.” Theros says with an uneasy smile.
“What is it?” Emnos asks angrily.
“Whoever can defeat her in combat, can have her.” Theros says to him, I feel Emnos’ grip on my waist tighten.
“With or without her demigod abilities?” Emnos asks him with a small smile.
“He has not said, but without her abilities she would be a sitting duck.” Theros says with a frown.
“The thing with knowing when someone is going to attack, is a demigod ability?” I ask them.
“Yes.” All three answer at once.
“Hopefully it is with demigod abilities then.” I say with an uneasy smile at them.
“He also wants you trained in magic; he is pissed he hasn’t been able to get into Emnos’ mansion.” Theros says with an uneasy smile.
“I don’t like the nosy old man coming in whenever he wants.” Emnos says with a frown.
“Well, he does care about her, Emnos. He watched her grow up.” Theros says with a smile.
“You could have as well if you didn’t have an.” Ark starts to say but looks down at me. “Fun with maids.” He says with a frown, and Emnos laughs.
“I think it cute how you avoid saying the word orgy in front of her Ark.” Emnos says with a grin, and I feel my face heat up.
“You are disgusting.” I say angrily as I glare up at Emnos, and he laughs.
“I wonder where she learned the meaning of orgy to get puffed up about it though.” Theros says as he frowns at me.
“It is not any of your business.” I say as I glare at him, Emnos and Theros laugh.
“Alright lets go back to the ocean before she really wants to hurt me.” Theros says with a grin as he winks at me, we touch him and vanish back to where we were. I feel the water around me again as we appear, and I feel Emnos pull me back against him.
“I need to talk to Morrigan about some things before dinner, we will see you then.” Emnos says to them and we vanish, his room appears around us and I feel him leading me towards the bed.
“Emnos what do we need to talk about?” I ask as I watch the bed get closer and fear rise in me, I feel him turn me around in his hands, as he pushes me back onto the bed.
“I am not in the mood for talking.” Emnos says as I look up his glowing eyes, I feel him in between my legs I push against his chest with my hands.
“Emnos, stop!” I yell at him as I watch his clothes vanish and mine, I feel something hard press in between my legs. “Emnos you said you wouldn’t do this.” I say quietly as I push against him sliding away from him on the bed, he grabs my thigh and pulls me back to him as he leans down and starts kissing me. “Emnos, stop it!” I yell at him as I turn my lips away from his kiss. The smell of lavender and jasmine invades my lungs and my mind as I push against him, I look up to see him smiling at me. “Emnos you said you wouldn’t do this.” I say angrily as I feel tears running down my face, I feel the urge to fight him slowly fading from me.
I feel him grab my hips and something shove against me in between my legs again, I grab his wrists and try to pull them off me as I feel something push inside me. I cry out in pain from and I hear his laugh as I try to rip his wrists off me the fog in my mind building and sending pleasure through my body. “Just give in to it, love.” He whispers in my ear as he leans down on top of me.
“Emnos, please.” I whisper as waves of pleasure from his touch erupt through me from the magic of the fog in my mind, I feel him push it deeper inside me I grab his arms as pain and pleasure shoot through me from the feeling. He starts pulling it back out of me just to shove it back into me harder, he laughs at the noises I make from him doing it, as he leans to me and starts kissing me again. I feel a strange feeling in between my legs as pleasure starts to build up there as it shoots through my entire body as my body tightens up, he moans against my lips as I feel his muscles in his arms tighten under my hands, I feel him pull out of me and I drop my hands to the bed as he gets off me.
I watch as his clothes appear on his body again as he grins down at me and vanishes, I pull the blankets over me as I feel tears fall down my face. I roll over and I see a balcony that was not there before in his room, I watch the waves outside and close my eyes and fall to sleep.
“Wake up, Morrigan.” I hear his voice, I open my eyes as I wake up and I roll over to see him standing at the side of the bed, with a grin on his face. “Time for dinner, love.” He says as he walks over to the wardrobe and pulls a rope ringing the maid bell, a maid walks into the room and bows to him. “Dress her for dinner.” He says to her as he walks to the chair and sits down watching me. The maid walks over to the bed and pulls the blankets off me, she pulls me off the bed as she leads me over to the wardrobe. She helps put underwear on, then pulls a underskirt out of the wardrobe. “No skirt.” Emnos tells her, she places it back inside and pulls out a corset. “No corset.” Emnos tells her and she frowns as she places it back inside and pulls out a dress and slips it on me before turning me around tying up the back of it, she bows again and leaves.
He stands up and walks over to the wardrobe pulling out a hair brush, I feel him brushing my hair. He stops, and turns me around offering his arm to me, I take it and we vanish. A dining hall appears around us, he leads me over to the table and sits down in a chair, he looks up at me as he pats his lap and I sit down. I feel him pull me up further on his lap, I stare at the table.
How are you feeling?
What do you mean?
How do you feel?
I am fine, Emnos. I do not feel like talking.
Why?
I look into his eyes as I glare at him, I feel tears building up in my eyes again as he frowns at me.
Are you upset because we had sex?
That is not what that was. Just because you used magic to make me stop fighting you, does not mean I was willing.
The pleasure I felt from you says differently.
I am done talking about this.
“Morrigan, good to see you again.” I hear Ark’s voice I look up at him as he sits in the chair beside us, he smiles over at me.
“Good to see you, Ark.” I say quietly as I look back down at the table.
“Vhaanth, what are you doing here?” I hear Ark ask.
“Dinner is on hold for a bit, I have made my decision with Creation’s help. You all have to fight her for the right to have her, she does it with the demigod abilities.” Vhaanth says to the Gods at the table, I look up at him with a grin on my face.
“What if none of us beat her?” Ark asks him.
“Then she goes unclaimed, and she stays with me so she can have a home. But she will be free to do whatever she wishes.” Vhaanth says with a small smile at me.
“Is everyone coming?” Theros asks him with a frown.
“They are already in your arena waiting, Theros.” Vhaanth says to him with a smile, I feel all the Gods around us vanish, I vanish and the arena appears around me. I look over when I feel Emnos vanish, he glares at me. “Take your place, Morrigan. Any holds of magic Emnos has on you are put out of play while in the area fighting.” Vhaanth says to me, I vanish and appear at one end of the area. “Who wants to go first?” Vhaanth asks all the Gods assembled, I look to see all of them are there. I see Kali waving her hand and vanishes to the end opposite me, I feel the swords appear in my hands. “No killing.” Vhaanth says to us and we nod at him.
I walk towards Kali as I feel her magic spread towards me, I feel the magic inside me waken nullifying her effects on me. She charges at me from her end of the arena when she finds magic is not going to work, I stop as I feel the magic tell me how she will attack. I wait for her to vanish, as she does I turn and bring up my swords to block the attack from above, she grins at me as her sword lands on mine. I lower my swords causing her to lose balance, I watch as she falls to the ground I vanish appearing above her placing a sword at her throat. “Do you give up?” I ask her as my eyes glow.
“Yes, I give up Morrigan.” She says with a laugh and vanishes, I turn to see the next God is Aurelia. She flashes me a smile as flames erupt around her as she runs towards me as her leaf blades appear in her hands, I wait until the last moment and spin away from her bringing a sword up to her neck as I turn to face her again.
“Do you give up?” I ask her.
“You are better than I thought, yes I give up.” Aurelia says to me with a small smile and vanishes. I look over across the other side of the arena to see Dhuna, I feel rage erupt inside me as I glare at him. I see a sword appear in his hand, as I charge towards him letting my anger loose inside me as I jump into the air above him I bring my swords down on him as he lifts the sword to block me. I vanish appearing behind him I grab him by the hair of the head bending backwards to me with a sword at his throat.
“You seem a little angry, Morrigan.” He whispers to me.
“Your fault I was captured by him.” I whisper in his ear. “Do you give up?” I ask him.
“Yes, Morrigan.” He says and I release him as I vanish back to my side of the arena. I see Bion appear on the opposite side and I frown at him. He grins at me as he charges towards me, I wait for him I prefer not to fight him. The magic warns me of an attack as he gets closer I raise a sword up blocking the incoming strike, as I raise the other sword to where his throat will be in the seconds before he hits.
“Do you give up, Bion?” I ask him as I look up at him and he nods as he smiles at me, he vanishes I look across the arena to see Adam. I laugh as he appears, and he grins at me. I motion for him to come to me and he nods.
He charges at me as axes appear in his hands, I see his weakness is his legs so I step to the side right as he attacks sweeping a leg in front of him to watch him make his axes vanish as he hits the ground face first. “Do you give up?” I ask him with a grin as he turns over with a pained look on his face and he nods, I offer him a hand and help him back up. I look across the arena to see Edur, he has always made me feel uneasy. I turn to face him head on to wait to see what he will do, the magic tells me an attack is coming I feel my arm raise to block it as he vanishes, I look over as he reappears as his sword hits mine.
