The earth spins around the sun without fail... it means time progresses as it should foward at even pace, not to fast neither to slow... with this comes the change of seasons and change of scenery...
The snow melted seeping into the land watering the growing plants and to reveal the lush greenery, I sat on said land and could only admiring it's beauty under the stary night sky, illuminated only by the moonlight. I rest my journey for a bit. Rest my aching body covered in scars and bruises. I look the land I rule over to think the people who stay and live on it put in jeopardy by people motivated by primal urges...
Greed, lust, bloodlust, anger... I've seen it all, people with no moral compas nor empathy for human suffering. For me... I do this because... if I don't do this... who is? I get my hands dirty so my kingdom stays clean. Through the monotony and pain there's someone that will be there to bring me joy... brash, lack of decency, not bright in the slightest I'm convinced that a wooden sword is more intelligent. Freakishly strong with the hardened resolve to top it off she's... peculiar nonetheless.
To me I realise that with the changes of the season so did the people who inhabit this place change... my searing hatred towards her slowly turned into the upmost respect due to her capabilities on the field... but something that was an oversight with my plan is... myself acting as he spouse would inevitably end up with myself falling for her... for some time I was 'acting' but it wasn't acting no more it became genuine, authentic... most of all pure. Oh for I yearned for her... my heart aches to be for her... but I can't... with the world in this state, I couldn't imagine leading a happy life with her. Furthermore, I think it would fit if she found someone else... not me, a broken husk of a man from witnessing the atrocities of war... losing comrades... it was to much for me... I didn't want to burden her anymore... for you my lovely spouse deserve the best... not me.
Different time maybe? Different place? Maybe different circumstances but I want to ensure your happiness. That's all. My armour tailored to my body it's metal cold with winds of the night. I lose myself in the scenery... contemplating my future... Being a king isn't easy... granted, the wealth the power and all the attention it brings is extraordinary... I'm not denying that but like a coin... there's always two sides.
"Oi, why the fuck aren't you asleep? I told you, you don't need to play lookout. No one's gonna come up here. Fucken dumbass"
voice harsh... brash in mannerisms... and a lack of simple courtesy... I knew who it is... Lilith. I look at her with nothing but a smirk. I turned back to see a pair of emerald eyes barring it deep into mine as our gazes lock. Her white hair reminded me of the melted snow... but her horns a raging fire. She stood beside me boastful as she towered over me. With her pride at a high she did what usually do... scoff at me. For why she does this I myself do not have the knowledge on this behaviour.
"You got a problem with it? Maybe someone could sever my neck in my sleep or maybe you're scared that I'll kill you, I don't resort to cheap tricks. I bested you fairly, I can do it again." Her features move so it could match my grin.
"Stand up and do it here, I'll make sure I'll bury you... you and your ego." Her grin stayed the same... confident... with some pride masked behind it showing that her pride did get shattered when I bested her the first time we met. I stood up wiping of the dirt off my pants. We stood in front of each other, squaring ourselves to our opponents both her and myself not moving 'gauge' as we inched our stance to be perfect and to analyse each other "what new tricks do you have waiting for me..." With the bellowing moving our hair like waves in the ocean.
"Hey Lilith, you know that we wear chest plates to protect our vital organs in out torso right? Why are you still wearing that helm knowing damn well there no brain inside of that damn skull." This provocation was enough to make her make the first move... shoulder cocked.. weight into the leading foot and pushing off the back foot... a punch... predictable... a right jab from the southpaw stance. I dodge to the right and grabbed her hand, turned my back and tossed her over my shoulder.
Seeing this opportunity I quickly got to the ground with her grabbing both her arms and pinning it over her head. With myself between her legs and her arms pinned... "it's no use, I've won... when it comes to grappling, I'm superior." She squirmed and wriggled under my grasp to no avail. "Fuck yo-" I cut her by leaning forwards... getting to her ear. Now's the time... "I'm in love with you... my body yearns for you... I yearn for you." I say into her ear making her shudder and her face to go red. "I want our relationship not bound by any agreement or contract but on your own free will. Will you, on your free will become my wife?" I asked to only be replied incoherent stuttering and flustered movements of her body wriggling more and more like an animal in discomfort. "I DO!" She yelled...The volume almost enough to pierce my ear drums. "Very well... my love" I say with a gentle smile. I could almost chuckle at her reaction. So predictable yet my heart is filled with joy when I see it. With little to no elegance... she always reacts to this types of situations like this. Purely on emotion.... And I love to see it...
"Can you get off me already?!" She yelled. I complied. Now sitting upright I look in awe at her defeated self... back against the ground her red face peeking under her hands as they covered it in embarrassment. I can hear her cursing under her breath. Must be at me.
I felt like a gigantic stone was lifted from my shoulders. Finally being honest with myself... it's great. For two years I harbored these feelings for her. Lucia... I hope you forgive me... you must heartbroken seeing me with another woman aren't you? In my thoughts I let Lilith pin me down while I was unaware.
Now she was atop of myself bearing her eyes on me with her red face. "You... you bastard, you made say those things..." She said. "I really love you..." I said much to her embarrassment. "I... I... I love you too." She replied. Letting go of my hands. I slowly maneuver my hands slowly caressing her body from her thighs to her waist. I encircled her waists with my arms pulling her close to me allowing her body lay on mine. "Thank you for everything... thank you for being there for me... I wanted to thank you..." I can feel her squirm just the slightest. Her hands trailed my body as she muttered something incoherent... "Fuck this shit! Noah! I'm sorry!"
Before I could even say anything her fangs dug themselves deep into the crook of my neck. Searing pain entered my body as she firmly grasp my hands. "I'm sorry... I can't hold it for any longer." A string of saliva still connected from the bite wound to her mouth as she licked what's left of my blood on her teeth.
Is she... lusting over me? "You and me... together just for one night... please..." she pleaded, her breath labored and her eyes glued onto mine. "Take the lead." .
