[color=C6DEFF][center][h1]Lila Moriarty[/h1][/center][/color] [sup][@Rai] [@13org][/sup] Lila couldn't help but let out a tender and warm smile as she heard Anui's words. Honestly, she didn't know how it was possible for a person that knew her only for a couple of hours to know her so much, to understand her so well... Even in that chaotic state she was, Anui's words cut through the thick, ice wall that she built around her heart for so many years with ease. She was well aware of her naivety and inexperience regarding emotions and relationships... But that would only make it harder to understand her... Even with all that... Lila opened her mouth but before she said anything, Anui gently took her hand on his. His touch so gentle, his skin so soft... She didn't know exactly what those feelings meant, but the spot where his skin touched hers felt like it was on fire. Letting Anui lead her out of the boat, to where the tree was, Lila heard his words. Albeit serious and impactful, they also were kind and filled with love. [color=C6DEFF]"Q-queen...?"[/color] She muttered to herself, a bit scared. That word was strange to her. She was never allowed to meet royalty... But if that meant that she could stay together with Anui... Then it would be worth it. She most certainly would need help regarding a lot of things but she had already spilled too much Nayu blood... It was time for her to do something to make up for that. As he bit his own bare hand, Lila did the same to hers as he took her own hand to her mouth. Although she didn't knew anything about Nayu customs, she could feel by his expression, his heartbeats and the atmosphere that it was indeed something serious. A bond that would never be broken. It was the first time she was opening herself like that to someone. It was the first time she was feeling someone touch her and look at her like that. As she tasted his blood, she could see, and feel, how much he cared for her. His blood... Was unlike any other she had ever drank before. Love. Albeit she didn't know exactly what love was, she supposed it tasted and felt like that. Lila felt, through his blood, his memories. How he was groomed, trained and indoctrinated to be a Nero elite, but never let that suffocate his curiosity. Reading about other places, cultures, traditions... How much he knew about Nero's history and old traditions... And now, she could feel his desire to change things. To change Nero and the Nayu for the better. When his lips touched hers, she could feel her skin burning. His blood running down her throat with a hot sensation. It was almost like her entire body was in flames. It felt weird but... incredibly good. A wave of burning desire and passion ran through her body as she kissed him. Lila's once pale skin was now as red as her hair. [color=#744E74]"And if you carried my child. None could protest your right to be by my side."[/color] Anui said, whispering in her ears. Hearing those words, Lila immediately felt her legs loosing strength, blushing incredibly hard as she kneeled on the soft grass, under the tree. It was almost funny on how Anui seemed to have a talent to make her feel like that. An assassin, who had the blood of many on her hands, embarrassed and completely vulnerable like that. Albeit she was a bit scared when he said about 'baby', as she was incredibly naïve on that matter, she wasn't able to hide her desire anymore. His blood ran through her throat like a path of fire. His memories, his feelings and above everything else, his own desire mixing with hers. [color=C6DEFF]"...I..."[/color] Lila opened her mouth, trying to say something without success. Anui could clearly see her face, incredibly red and feel how hot her skin was right now, her intense stare and her hot breath. At that moment, Lila wasn't' the weapon or the assassin many knew her. She was just a girl in front of the one she loved. As soft and delicate as a flower. [color=C6DEFF]"It's my first time..."[/color] Lila muttered, almost whispering, blushing heavily as she looked away and simply let her body fall on the soft grass under them, embarrassed. He could feel the nervousness in her voice, but she also could feel the burning desire in her eyes in response to his touch, his voice and his very own desire. [hr] [color=0054a6][center][h1]Sophia[/h1][/center][/color] [sup][@Rai] [@13org][/sup] Sophia simply stood there, with a smile on her face. She was genuinely satisfied by where that conversation was going despite a few who didn't seem to like the idea of unification that much. But as much as he wanted to speak, to try to make that possible outcome became reality, and not just a mere possibility, she swore to not interfere with those matters. She wouldn't nor she had any right to. She was to them, nothing but a guide, a teacher... or even how she liked to think regarding some... maybe even a mother. But despite how powerful and knowledgeable Sophia was, she wasn't perfect. There were some things that she didn't know and she wasn't able to contain her excitement at that moment. Even with an almost unparalleled amount of knowledge, she was still excited upon the possibility of learning something new. Even to her, there were some details of history regarding the ancient gods and other things like the Dragon God that were shrouded in mystery. As Vrondi continued to speak about how powerful Nuxta would be, Sophia heard silently, absorbing every single word he said. Even though he was an enemy, Nuxta held so much knowledge... So much ancient knowledge that was lost through the ages... [color=0054a6]"Your destiny is yours to weave as you see fit. Your actions, your choices, your knowledge. There is a reason why I swore to not actively interfere with the descended unless it's absolutely necessary. There is a power that every descended holds. The power of choice. The power to change fate and destiny by their own actions. Not even Nuxta can take that away from you."[/color] Sophia said, with a comforting smile. [color=0054a6]"I may be powerful and hold vast amounts of knowledge, including about the ancient gods and even how the planet itself was once whole but it has been rendered to only house the one land mass we currently live on, but there are certain details that are hazy. Certain fragments of the history that are almost like they are surrounded by a thick fog."[/color] Sophia said, looking to them. [color=0054a6]"While the answer to the current situation is on these 'fragments'... I also need to warn you... Be careful on what you lay your eyes upon... There are things that the descended are not yet ready to learn..."[/color] Sophia said, now with a serious and a bit darker expression. [color=0054a6]"Certain things... are best to remain hidden from the eyes of the world. Lest you wish to see it plunged in chaos... Like it already happened once."[/color] She completed, her eyes distant, almost like if she was remembering something from a very, very distant past.
