The Summoner And The Ninja

Chapter 3

Midnight came and Rydia had found that she was struggling to sleep in her queen-sized bed in a master chamber room filled with rich luxuries. It was a different atmosphere than she was used to in the caves of the underworld. It was quiet and the moonlight beamed through the window. It wasn't that she was uncomfortable, it was more that she has too much in her mind. She came to the over world because Queen Asura talked to her in private a week ago telling her that she has to leave the  Feymarch. She was concerned of Rydia growing older and older so fast and she was scared of the fact that Rydia can pass away so soon. She didn't want that. Queen Asura told her that she loves her like a daughter and that is the reason why she had to leave the Feymarch.

The queen wanted her to live her life with her human species. Rydia started crying when she started remembering her leaving her home and adoptive family. Now Rydia started thinking about how she has no homeland in the overworld. She remembered how her town, the Mist, and her mother... How it's all gone. Burned and destroyed to ashes. She has no where to go now. She is a woman with no homeland and no important responsibilities. No family to go home to. She was lonely.

When she discovered the King and Queen of Baron was out on a political event to Kapio, she was sad. She really needed her best friend Rosa to talk to. As she was wondering about she began to think about an annoying ninja. She remembered how she began to smile while thinking about his fails of trying to look cool to her. She actually thought that when ever Edge tries to hard to impress her, that it's cute. Well of course, back then she would have never told him that. Instead she was always on a rampage saying how annoying he is and to leave her alone. As she was thinking about him, her heart began to hurt. It was beating fast and she started to feel sick in her stomach. When she was feeling these symptoms she knew that she missed the stupid ninja. She grew impatient of the feeling of not seeing him. And the next thing she knew, she was making plans to go to Eblan and surprise Edge.

And now here she is in Eblan. Right down the hall away from the immature ninja. The king she has feelings for. Wait... Feelings? She thought. I don't like Edge... Do I? Sure she missed him and loved how he protected her. She liked when he complimented her (even though she never took it seriously) she liked how he annoyed her(sometimes) and yes she found him attractive... Very good looking in fact. Oh no. She thought, she does have feelings for the smart mouth king.

She began to feel empty again, she was alone in mid night at the kingdom she came to, just to see Edge. Then it hit her. What was she doing sleeping in a room that Edge wasn't with her? She came to Eblan to see and hang out with Edge, because she likes him. Yes likes him a lot. She isn't a little girl anymore (well she kinda is), she is older in an adult body with adult feelings. But why does she feel scared of going to Edge right now. STOP RYDIA she yelled at herself. For crying out loud, she thought, she fought multiple hard wild battles with monsters and evil human beings and helped saved the world at the moon. Why is she scared? She shouldn't be.

With her mind set, she began to get out of bed and open the door. Now that she was in the hallway, she knew she wasn't going to "wuss" out. She approached Edge's chamber door.
Okay. She thought, this is it, no chickening out. She breathed a long breath and knocked. And Quickly the door opened.

She shouldn't have been surprised of the quick opening because well Edge was trained his whole life to sleep with awareness of enemy invasion. He is probably a very light sleeper. When she saw him, he didn't look tired of anything he was his normal quick paced self.

"Oh Rydia, what's wrong did something happen? Do you need anything?" Edge sharply spoke. He didn't mean to be so straight forward with her. Honestly he was worried if there was anything wrong. She finally came to visit him at Eblan and he was definitely going to make sure her visit was safe. He didn't want anything bad happening to her here that would make her not wanting to go back to Eblan.

"I can't sleep." She quietly said.

"Oh is that so, well do you want my company?" He sarcastically said.

"Yes I think that will help me actually. Would you mind me sleeping here.. in your room?" She said.

Edge was shocked. Honestly he was joking. Well joking but secretly wishing she would say yes. He always dreamed and thought of Rydia sleeping with him. NOT sleeping naked or doing anything physical with her (well he kinda thought about it too- well often) no he was always wondering how it will feel sleeping with her in ways such as cuddling and being so close he can hear her heart beating and feel her soft breathes as she sleeps. But Rydia is serious for once. She actually wants to sleep in his room, on his bed.

"Of course you can stay with me my beauty, anything for you." He replied.

"Thanks Ninja." She said as she make her way through the door into his room.

Edge immediately began to make a bed on the floor for himself because deep down, he knows that this is to good to be true. "What are you doing?" Rydia wondered.

"Am making a bed for me on the floor, isn't this what you wanted?" He was also wondering.

"Well.. I was thinking if we can.. sleep together on your bed." She stated.

"Oh okay!" At this point Edge didn't know what to do beside listening to Rydia's requests. Because honestly she is unpredictable. When he does nothing wrong, in her mind he is doing everything wrong. When he thinks something, she thinks the opposite. So at this point he was afraid any of his actions or words will ruin this probably once in a life time experience. Edge moved his way to the right side of the bed, so Rydia naturally went to the left side of the bed. This was awkward. Aside from the sleeping arrangements, it was the matter of their clothing. For instance, Rydia is wearing a dark green and gold nightgown, Edge on the other hand was shirtless and in shorts. Even worse.. he didn't have his mask on. It was awkward for him not to have a mask on, he couldn't even remember the last time he had his mask off while next to another person. Especially Rydia.

"Edge?" Rydia questioned.

"Yes?" Edge carefully answered. He tried his best to not ruin this moment.

"Can I rest my head on your chest?" She quietly blushed,"I think it will help make me fall asleep." She puppy eyes.

"Sure... Of course princess." He snickered.

Wait what are you doing you idiot? Watch what you say, he lectured, being careful for every move he made. Why is this so hard? He thought. He has experience with girls in his bedroom before(before he met his emerald) and it was a piece of cake. No feelings or emotions for those girls, the only thing that mattered was dealing with the girl after he got what he wanted. Making sure no girl stayed the night or morning in his chamber. It was a one time (hit and run) thing to do with women. Now the moment he fantasized forever with Rydia was here. And he was scared and cautious out of control. Rydia was different. He didn't want a 'one night stand' with her.. he could never do such a thing to her. He loves her. And the last thing he wants is to lose her. No, he thought, he will never lose her. Regardless of anything, she has control of him. And he liked it that way.

He is being very cautious right now with her, but lets face it, he doesn't want Rydia to think of him as a 'wuss' in bed. He turned to her and grabbed her around her body and moved her to his left side of his body.

Rydia completely forgotten that Edge wasn't wearing a shirt. But honestly she didn't mind. In fact she liked how his chest felt. Tan, muscular, very well toned, hard as a rock, and was very warm. She wanted to see his cocky grin for once, so as she gleamed up to sneak a peak of him, she noticed sharp, well edged jaw line. His chin looked strong and attractive. For the first time ever she saw his mouth, his lips. His lips was drawing her in and she is beginning to fail holding herself away from Edge. Edge knew she was staring - how can she not this was the first time she saw what was hidden from his mask. But he didn't expect her to stare at him this long. He loved this attention from her, no hitting or spell casting or insults was thrown at him. But she was peacefully looking at his eyes now. And he was drawn to those beautiful blue eyes. Gods have mercy on him, he thought, she is perfect. He felt weak. He leaned down and lost against himself as he kissed her with passion.
