Warcraft 3: Broken Blessings

Chapter 19

Three days went by in Outland where she was. Each day was filled with lessons, talk of history, and pleasure. Far too much pleasure. There were times she would wake up after an intense hour with him to find herself lightly stunned from it. As much as there were times that she had to train what he taught her, she found herself getting hungrier much faster. He easily taught her how to conjure her own food and drink when she needed it. On waking to the ravenous hunger that gnawed at her, she did this now, and she was always surprised at how simple it was to do.

"You learn fast," he chuckled at her when the scent of food woke him up from where he was resting at her side. When he first fell asleep, he was rather surprised at himself. He rarely slept.

"No choice in it," she smiled and sighed. "As much as this is fun, it would be nice to eat something 'real', you know?"

"Should I know?" he asked and grinned at her whispered grumble. "Well, the creatures out here are edible. As for taste...that can vary."

"How?" she asked.

"The land is...sort of dead out here. There is little to no life. As to why, this world was torn apart from war and corruption. And, Rosalia, I forbid you to try and heal it," he said sternly.

"Why not?" she frowned.

"First of all, it could kill you," he said seriously. "This world is like a sponge. If you start to apply your magic to it, it may rise up and try to rip it from you completely."

"Oh!" she gasped.

"Yes, I know it's risky to have you here. But, that's why I'm here to protect you and ensure that nothing will happen. As long as you don't focus on the land, I can shield you."

"Okay."

"However, if you want try eating something native to the land, I can hunt something down. Just stay here, okay?" he whispered and kissed her fully. His body felt a touch overcharged from her magic, anyways. He needed to disperse some of it to balance himself out. That was something of a first for him. He was going to have to learn his own form of control now. He dressed in his pants and sandals before grabbing his weapons. Right when he left, she seemed to shiver with loss. She missed Perhin dearly.

"Perhin," she seemed to whimper softly. Then she recalled a training exercise that Malfurion taught her about meditation. She took in a deep breath and focused. A dream-like state much like the guardian had when he found Malfurion at first took hold.

:ROSALIA!: Perhin shouted when he felt her.

:Perhin!: she gasped and felt him cling to her now.

:I hoped...oh, my heart...!: he sighed with relief.

:Perhin...: she sighed and let him mentally cradle her. :He won't let me leave.:

:Why?:

:He wants me to become pregnant first. A week passes by in a single day here.:

:Damn him!: he snarled. :Dala'surfal, can you try to come back?:

:I am learning much from him. I can make my own food now. I can make a solid ball of raw energy. I...I don't know if I can make portals yet. I could try, but...I was warned about the world I'm in. It may be too much. I don't think I can risk it...:

:Not without training. I know.:

:He was planning to bring you here to see if you were fully immune to me.:
