Turmoil (War X OC)

Going On

If you didn't read the sexual part, this chapter takes place a few days later in the early morning before the sun rises.

I lazily flew in a random direction and I managed to come across Ulthane trudging through the woods. I glided down and landed just in front of him as he exited the woods and into his home. He tensed and then relaxed, he continues walking, barely giving me a glance. It was like he was walking on glass, he also had a puzzled aura to him.

"Rose, I have yer suit and armor done."

I tensed, I didn't remember telling him my name. I also dont know when he got any measurements. I watched him closely for a second and then shrugged it off for now. I followed him and he led me to his bench, on top there was a black suit, it didn't have sleeves but I was ok with that. It was very form fitting, but it still looked flexible. I turned my attention to the armor, it was made of what looked like tiny overlapping scales, a few metal plates covered the chest area, bowing out to allow room for my chest. That was something that I had struggled with previously. It was form fitting and where the small scales were, it was just black. All the metal plating was silver. It had shoulder caps that would still allow a full range of motion, there were two armbands and two spiked gauntlets. If I had to punch someone, it would hurt them a lot. I flipped it over and noticed metal plating all over the shoulder area. The way the plated fused together allowed my wings to fit and move comfortably. The rest looked like the tiny scale with the exception of a line of thin flexible metal protecting the spine.

The armor for my legs covered the thighs in metal, the belt was made of sharp metal. Small areas of chain allowed for hanging items from it. A memory stirred but slipped away before I could grasp it. He even had a set of boots for me, they were heeled, I frowned at that. I could run in heels and everything, its just not something I deemed necessary in my foot wear anymore. The shins were covered in metal and they came up to the knee. They looked very flexible for being boots. Beautiful.

"Tough as nails, the only way ya'd get hurt is if ya were twisted just right and stabbed. Very unlikely."

"Thank you Ulthane, but I must ask. Why are you doing this for me? You don't know me..."

I trailed off as his eyes flicked nervously. "You do know me, from the past perhaps?"

"Lass..."

"Obviously I don't want you to say to much, I don't want to change the outcome of anything. But I want to know."

"Aye lass, I've met you, I'm forever in yer debt. Ye saved my life."

"Well, it seems that we are even now."

"Never, ye did more than that lass, but I wont elaborate."

I nodded, "What was I like?"

"Scarred lass. You'd seen somethings, had many a scars as well. Ye'd been through many scraps, you will not be the same person when that time comes for you. I pity you, seein' ya the way ya are now. And knowin what you will be."

I nodded thoughtfully, rather disturbed with the news, but if its meant to be then it'll be. I thought of something else and heat flushed my cheeks.

"You were out there tonight?"

"Yep."

"So then you saw--"

"Yep"

"How... much?"

"Not much, ye finished up and both of ya just passed out. It took me almost half the night just to get that thing of yours to quit pesterin' me so that I could leave. Doesn't help that I came across a demon as well."
