Spirits and Shadows: The Daedric Princess

The Savior

"Man this rain is coming down hard! If I don't get home I'll be late to make dinner! I can't disappoint Tristan and Austin!" The bags of groceries keep bouncing around and I struggle to keep them in the paper bag which is almost soaked because it's not covered by the umbrella. I have to get home for dinner. I promised I'd make them the best dinner ever. I'm running as fast as I can home that I don't realize my shoes are untied. I step on the string and fall over. Some of the groceries fall out and the bread gets a bit wet because it fell in a tiny puddle. I stagger to get up and start picking up the groceries. Some of the groceries roll into a corner near a brick corner. As I reach down for the apple that rolled into the corner is catch a glimpse at a human. A beautiful human, a girl of maybe around 18. And she seems to be naked too. My young mind starts to wander but as I do that I snap back to reality when I see short breaths and the dirt and the goosebumps on her body. She must have been out here for a while. I can't just leave her out here unconscious. She starts to shiver violently. I decide to take my shirt off and put it on her and I carry her home with the groceries on my side barely clinging on. I walk home making sure I don't drop her on pure cement and hurting this desperate creature. I feel her body against mine and it's really cold. I keep her as close as I can so that I help her warm up.
I am a few feet from my house when one of the apples fell out of a hole in the bag and rolls under my foot. I almost slip and drop the girl. I recover in mid air and I keep everything together somehow. I push through the metal gates and begin to go up the pathway. I open the door and see that Tristan and Austin running around playing. I greet them and I go into my bed room to put this random girl in my bed so that she can warm up. Both the kids follow me into my room and start playing 20 questions about the girl and all I can tell them is I don't know. I tell them to not bother the girl and to go back to playing. Before I leave my room I grab a new shirt and I grab the groceries and start to cook.
Tonight I'm cooking Spagetti and meatballs with Italian bread for the side. It smells amazing and I add my secret ingredient to the sauce. Not before long Tristan, my younger sister of only age 5, asks if it's done yet. Austin, my younger brother of age 5 also complains it taking too long. They both call my nickname "Ky". Since my name is Kyren, they like to just call me Ky. They also spell it as Kia sometimes just to get me mad. Either way, I reply them with what they want to hear and tell them the food is done. They both get a excited look on their face and when they get their plates they are upset to see it not done. "You know, for a 17 year old, you act like you're 3!" Yells Tristan. They both stomp out of the kitchen dramatically. I shrug it off and continue cooking. After a bit I feel a something tugging on my shirt. "I told you dinner will be done soo-" I stop in mid sentence. I turned around to find the girl that I had brought into my house was looking at me. She seemed like she wanted something. "Hey you're up! Do you want some food? You must be pretty hungry. There isn't to many girl clothes here but you're welcome to use mine Fire aslong as you need to." She looks down and realizes she isn't wearing anything but a shirt. She covers every part of her with her arms and looks at me angrily. She doesn't say a word through when she looks at me. "Hey. I didn't do anything. You were unconscious outside and you weren't breathing too well. So I brought you home for dinner and some questions that's all." She looks a bit relieved but still has that angry look at her face. Her face makes me feel like I'm a pervert for carrying a naked girl home. She still doesn't say a word. Is she a mute? Or maybe she doesn't like to say anything to people. She changes emotions quickly and starts feeling around her collar bone and her body for something. "Hey are you looking for something?" She looks upset and worried. She starts to tear up and cry. It is weird without the sound of crying. "Hey. Don't cry just tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you find what you're missing. I'm Kyren by the way! Nice to meet you. Who are you?" She looks at me and looks at my hand. She looks at me angrily at first but she then smiles and then hugs me. She then out of no where kisses me on the lips and after a bit pulls away. "I'm Lotus, a Daedric who is of royal blood. I am from Ren and I'm from the family Clem. Thank you for rescuing me and for the warmth and hospitality. Back in my hometown we used to execute humans because we were told all humans were dangerous and hated us." I look at the girl as I hear this unfamiliar voice and am convinced this girl is not a normal girl but I don't feel threatened by her so I don't need to panic. I know this girl isn't producing sound from her mouth like a normal person but she is able to talk to me as if it's in my thoughts. "Legends say that there used to be a human who fell in love with a Daedric. Their love was forbidden by all forms of law because of "Daedric Massacre". The Daedric Court decided to allow their love to continue because both were committed to each other and the human girl surpassed all challenges she was told to do. No matter what happened she passed every test because of her emotions and determination. The two were happily married until one day she was convicted of being a human spy and was planning to kill everyone. Her Daedric husband fight to keep her alive but in the end, both of them were publicly executed and their bodies were burned in a sacred fire of crystal and souls. You have saved me from death so now I am here to serve you and to fight for you no matter what." As she says this, some red and blue armor appears on her back with a dazzling flashes of blue, red, and black. The armor looks like it's something out of a video game that I used to play. This girl is something I've never seen before and I want to know more but at the same time I'm scared that if she can this then what else she can do. Could she be who she says she is? Or am I just dreaming. All I can do is just sit and wonder where this thing came from and why is it here showing me this?
