Love by the Mystic Sea

Chapter Sixteen ☾

The picture is of the starry night sky in this chapter. Happy reading~

I smiled as I looked out toward the crowd of people that are at the makeshift dance area near the stage. Elycia is paired with Asher, while Azalea and Callen are dancing together next to them. Blyn leans close to me and wraps his strong muscular arm across my shoulder, which pulls me closer to his large muscular frame. "They all seem to be enjoying themselves" said Blyn.

I tilt my head upward to see that he is also observing the festivities in front of us. My gaze returns to the crowd of people when I hear Elycia giggle. Apparently, Asher decided to twirl Elycia around the dance area. He occasionally lists her high enough, so that her feet no longer reach the ground. As the beat of the drums and other instruments quicken so do their movements. 

Elycia giggles continue to be heard, as well as an occasional chuckle from Asher as they dance. I notice that Callen are smiling and laughing softly as they dance. "Your party and my sister seem to be enjoying themselves". I hum softly while looking toward Blyn's parents as they dance near the stage. "Your friend Asher seems like a cheerful man. I have never seen Elycia laugh so much at once," said Blyn.  

I nod my head in agreement, "Yes they are. I suppose that Asher is the most cheerful person among my friends. His cheerful behavior and positive attitude are rather contagious. People cannot help but feel his cheerfulness themselves" I said. I inhale a deep breath of air and then slowly exhale. I am surprised that I have spoken so much considering I do not know Blyn very well. 

However, I suppose that my reason for talking so much is because I want to know my husband, my mate, more than I currently know about him. "That certainly seems to be the case. I would like to get to know Asher, as well as Callen and Azalea, "he said. I feel happy that Blyn wants to know more about my friends. I know that officially they are seen as my people. However, I see them as my friends first and my people second. 

My thoughts come to a stop when I feel Blyn's long cool fingers gently rub circles in my arm. "I also want to get to know you, my dove" he whispered softly in my ear. I raise my head so that I can look at his handsome face. "I would like that as well" I said softly.  

I was unsure if he heard me due to the loud beat of the instruments. However, I know that he heard me once a smile appeared on his face. "Would you like to dane, my dove?" he asked. I would love to dane. Although, I wonder how we can dance since we are still connected together with the chain of fate.

My confusion must have shown on my face he answers my unspoken question. "It may not seem that we can dance with the chain of fate, but we can. The chain is made from rather flexible material. Also, the musicians will play at an acceptable pace once they us dancing". He offered a rather detailed explanation and I cannot help but want to dance. 

I do enjoy dancing at celebrations and festivals, so I would like to dance at my waiting celebration. Also, the music I have heard throughout the evening has certainly made me wants to dance. I am glad that Blyn asked me to dance, since I feel a little shy to request a dance. "I would love to dance with you Blyn" I happily reply. 

We stand up in unison and Blyn leads us to the dance area. People noticed that we arrived to the dance area, so they cleared the area around us. Now, people stand toward the sides and near the musicians, simply watching us. The musicians noticed us as well, so they begin a song that is slower paced. 

We intertwine our chained hands together and Blyn's free hand wraps around my waist. While I attempt to wrap my free hand around his shoulder. Due to our large difference in height I cannot reach his shoulder, but I am rather close. Blyn gracefully leads our movements as we begin to dance across the dance area. I can feel that the eyes of Blyn's family, my friends, and our people are staring at us.
