Taming Death

My queen

Theo

I'd been waiting days to see her, to feel her skin under my fingers. To hear her voice in my head. To see her eyes shine that shade of blue only the sky could copy.

The fact she was eager to earn the hearts and respect of my soldiers was so unexpected, it took me and my fellow soldiers by surprise. She was different. Different from anyone I've ever met, and she was mine.

"Let's go, I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to get home."

All the soldiers turned around and started back toward the capital city. I hung back striding alongside my little bunny.

Her brothers Oleander and Arragon walked in front with the soldiers, getting to know the men and women that will be traveling with them to the neighboring clans. These royal princes' rode alongside common borns like they were one themselves. It was an unbelievable sight really. Even our royalty weren't so friendly with our commoners and soldiers. It was odd to see high elves behave like this. Everything we know about them seems different from the Rion and her brothers.

The soldiers were appearing more at ease as the hours passed while the princes' humored my people with grand stories of mishaps that the two of them have caused over the years. Really humbling to watch.

Looking over at Orion, her hair was braided down her back and messy, she wore a simple head piece with as a show of her status. It was just a thin gold crown that came to a v shaped point on her forehead. There was a a single tear shaped purple gem in the center. Matching her purple dragon scale vest, and their on her thighs was a dagger strapped and another two in her boots. She was so violent and I found it so sexy. She sat tall on her Pegasus' back. She radiated royalty. She was my queen.

"I truly don't deserve you."

"What do you mean? Why would you say that?" She laughed.

Oh gods how I loved her laugh.

"I mean you're beautiful, and strong, and a fucking queen, I've done some terrible things, that definitely make me unworthy of you" I really was trash compared to her.

"Theo! That is not true I see how you are with your people." She said, "You care deeply about them. That's something to admire." Her smile was so endearing it drilled holes into my heart.

"No Rion I've done some terrible things I really don't deserve you."

"Well then be deserving." Gods be damned. Something about the way she said be. Sent me running up a fucking wall. I was dying to get her in a bed and get her out of those clothes.

"Keep looking at me like that and I'm gonna fuck you before we can even get the inn." My eyes narrowed i said growling at her.

"Don't make a promise you can't keep Theo." She spoke.

She just challenged me. All hell.

"I'm gonna make you pay for that comment little bunny."

Arriving in a small village to rest for the night. Everything looked different in the Sun Elf territory. The houses were made of sandstone and wood instead of granite. The shape of the buildings were so vastly different from what Orion was used too. The homes and buildings had dome roofs and pillars holding up many buildings leaving them open for all to see in village. The roofs were a reddish color. Complete opposite of Orion's coned and tear shaped blue roofs.

Steams of light danced in the streets as they approached the grass now gone covered completely in yellow and white gravel. The villagers quickly ran inside; the sight of seeing white haired elves and such terrifying beasts made the villagers uneasy. Whispers were heard, windows were closed and doors were locked.
