Forbidden (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 35

I realized that Ryo kinda looks like the heroine from Dragon Age 2 so I used the Mage armor.

Yuka:

I took Toby's hand and quickly led him to the shelter. I felt Dreyar's presence before I heard him and turned around, quickly placing Toby in his hopefully capable hands.

"Take him to the shelter." I ordered him. Dreyar's face twisted painfully as he struggled between following my orders or disobeying them.

Before he could make his decision, I took off running in the opposite direction toward the castle.

I stumbled into my room as the ground shook and flinched when the cool metal of a blade flashed to my throat.

My eyes widened in surprise as the blade fell to the ground and I saw a fearful Ryo standing before me.

I looked around for a body, confused.

Then Ryo cried out as the ground shook once again and the end of her sheath dug painfully into her side, where her deepest scar was.

That's when it finally hit me.

"R-Ryo?" I gasped her name in fear and surprise. "You held that sword against my throat?"

She fell backwards into the wall and her sword was kicked away to my feet.

I picked it up tenderly and placed it beside my own where it rested against the wall beside my dresser.

I walked back over to her and she shrunk away from my touch as I reached out to stroke her face. I stiffened and it felt like she had actually managed to stab me without the use of her sword.

"R-Ryo?" I mentally cursed myself for stuttering so much but my wife was having a breakdown so I would have to deal with that problem later.

Perhaps after the war that was raging outside.

Angered and fed up with her breakdown, I grabbed her sword and threw it at her.

For a second, I thought she was going to let it impale her. But then her hands flashed and the sword was caught between her fingers.

"You can have a mental breakdown later. Right now, there's a war outside. Lets go." I quickly changed out of my dress into a tight tunic and pants.

Ryo had also changed into plain clothes but she had thrown on armor as well. It was black and stained with red, making me wonder who the armor belonged too.

But then that hit me as well.

The gauntlets and shoulder plates were the exact ones that her mother had worn when I first saw her.

She was wearing her mothers armor.

I looked at her in awe as she handed me armor of my own. It wasn't metal, like I had thought, but leather.

It was hard, keeping me protected, but allowed me movement as well.

All it consisted of was a light brown leather corset, shoulder pads (if you know what they are please tell me), bracers, and gauntlets.

Ryo was wearing her mothers armor, which had heavy armor on her shoulders and one arm and a leather corset.

She was obviously avoiding my touch as I dressed but I decided to ignore it for now.

She quickly led me to the map room where my father, two men I had never seen before, and Suon and Raido.

Raido was also dressed in armor and was brandishing a sword, while Suon looked like he was beginning to get comfy in the map room.

It was obvious that Suon was an advisor and strategist, Raido must've been a commander of some certain part of the army we had.

I turned to the other men.

One had silver, white hair yet he wasn't old. He was quite young in fact. Maybe eighteen. A little younger than me.

The other man had black hair and didn't look to thrilled to be there. His skin was white and he played with his armor as if he would rather take it off.

Ryo stepped forward and introduced me to them.

"Yuka, this Zero, our torturer and also a good friend of mine surprisingly. He is the commander of the 2nd battalion." She gestured to the man with white hair and chuckled a little despite the circumstances.

"And this is Gray. We were best friends as kids and now he is the commander of the 3rd battalion." She gestured to the man with black hair who nodded in our direction.

"And of course, you know Raido and Suon. Suon is our battle strategist and Raido is the commander of the 1st battalion until Dreyar is able to take his place." Raido gave me a half-hearted smile while Suon just looked up at me for a moment before returning to his map.

"And what am I?" I asked her.

She frowned and thought for a moment before smiling. "Moral support."

This is going to be a struggle on so many levels....
