But he could tell by her embrace that she was his. He did not take a hesitant moment to smother her in his long arms and hold her lips to his for the softest taste of his own blood and hers he's ever had the pleasure of experiencing. He HE felt through her tenderness that the blood that he felt rushing up her cheeks and down to her pleasure centers was real. He pulled back only to caress her face and meet pupils. His words rang out and she, already red, buckled under them. He felt his hands hold more of her weight. He gently let her drop to her knees. He looked at her with a solemn expression. He knew what he asked was a great responsibility. Yet he was young and a bit reckless. But he knew the system well and how to manipulate it to his advantage. Something his family would never expect to come back and bite them. Now his mind was seeking power but not for his own sake. For hers. He held her hand, getting down on one knee, placing his finely sewn ebony silk on the dimly lit grass. He turned to the tree that gave a low yet bright white light from its bark. Though it had no leaves it brimmed with a ethereal life. He placed his hand on the tree. His hand still stained with red. His print being visible on it. He motioned for her to do the same next to his. When she spoke of it being her first time he closed his eyes in quiet solace. Her words met his ears like a reflected mirror. He turned to look at her, opening his eyes slowly to meet hers. She was flushed yet he retained a cool and even tone. He had been around many beautiful Nayu women, all his life so his nerves were steeled. [color=#744E74]"It will be mine as well..."[/color] He broke a smile. Looking down at Lila's hands he placed them in his. He embraced her hand and then up her arm, lifting the delicate fabric of her dress as he did so. Revealing her pale toned arms. For a Nayu that has lived outside of Nero their entire life she was as fair as him. He did not seem to notice as he kept gently pressing his blood stained lips up her arm and finally reaching her neck. Enveloping her in his unbridled passion they both laid before the silver light. Their only witness being the tree, the silent waters and the fish that lurked within. A bed made of their attire laid under them soon enough. Anui kept his eyes on hers as he guided her honed body against his. His entire form could match hers in fairness. All he had was a single marking on his shoulder of a black wing. He smiled as his body turned a gentle hue of pink, his heat rising to match hers. The cold waters carried a cool breeze over them. But every pet and touch was like an ignited flame. From her chest to her back until finally he smothered her until both of them were satisfied and asleep. Whispers of love being hummed into Lila's ears as they did.

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.[/quote] The others sitting in the room nodded in agreement. Even Sleeth broke a smile. [quote][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.[/quote] They listened intently. A few of them looking a bit perplexed. What rumors they had heard were true it seemed. For those who trusted Sophia's knowledge. However King Vrondi nodded. He seemed to know exactly what she spoke of. [quote][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.[/quote] The others had mixed feelings. Though some agreed with a sorry expression others like Tydra scoffed. Her people, and the Magoi, they were not afraid of any knowledge and thoroughly sought to expand their own. Magnixx chuckled a bit to himself lowly. He did not respect the Dragon like the others and found Tydra to be amusing. [quote][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. [/quote] Tydra kept silent this time. But rolled her eyes a bit. King Vrondi agreed though. [color=#FBB917]"We must stay vigilant of what we stumble upon. OR what we stumble upon may trample upon us and history will repeat itself."[/color] He calmly looked over the others. Then suddenly his eyes widened. He pressed index finger to his head and his eyes began to glow. The others began to question what was happening but he returned to normal almost immediately. [color=#FBB917]"She is here. We will have our answer soon enough."[/color] He raised a hand and the vines around the door moved and opened the door with a slow creek. Once open the sound of music and merriment from the banquet could be heard. [hr] [color=#FBB917][i]Bring me the Seer.[/i][/color] Vrondi's voice blared within the minds of all of his knightly subordinates. A single loud and clear message for those who marked themselves under his banner of light. [color=8e9db6]"He is with me knight."[/color] She stepped forward a bit as she spoke. Standing only slightly behind Mason. She was amused by the knight and his appearance. Eyeing him up and down briefly. [color=8e9db6]"I trust you will know me. The Seer your King has just called for."[/color] She held her smile looking the Knight in the eyes. Her elegant form holding still as if awaiting for him to do something else amusing. With the doors opened the knights stood in front of it. Not allowing anyone but the one being escorted by another knight. To get the honor of presenting the Seer to the King was a sought after opportunity. However the Blighted knight stood before her. No matter. A Taxis knight emerged from the crowd of patrons. Epsilon Onsilion. [hider=A Taxis Knight][img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/eda5/f/2013/293/7/7/horned_knight_test_by_sethnemo-d6r8s74.jpg[/img][/hider] Whom was of decent rank. He wore his full clad of armor head and all. [b]"How about letting me take care of this one, doubt they'd want a Blight like you next to such lovely ladies."[/b] He let out a low chuckle beneath his echoing helm. One that lasted a bit too long. Illia rolled her eyes and looked at Ami. [color=8e9db6]"Ah, here I thought I'd have a chance to enjoy myself for once. Well. I suppose they will be needing me else where now.. It was a pleasure to meet you Ami."[/color] She held Ami's hand and gently squeezed it as a good bye. She then turned and stepped next to the knight. [color=8e9db6]"Shall we go? Blighted Knight."[/color] Illia awaited for Garrett to respond before she would follow him. She gave the other knight a smirk as he cocked his head back. Even under the armor he was visibly struck by this slight. [@Verticus][@13org][@RumikoOhara] [hr] [color=#DF4687]"Nonsense!"[/color] He clapped. The servants tightened up and listened. [color=#DF4687]"A room for this one please. A healer sent there immediately, a fresh white.. dress? And a plate of food fresh from the kitchen!" [/color]The servants began to move. One staying behind to guide Czigani to her room. [color=#DF4687]"You must not be from Vrondi. Why would you leave the most hospitable place in all the lands. You are a royal, and a guest. You will receive the best treatment for whatever plagues you I promise."[/color] He handed the servant a gold key with a chain made of wood attached to it. [color=#DF4687]"Please escort her to the Tearian party's private room. See to it that she is taken care of immediately."[/color] He then began to walk away. "That Eros. Always being so nonchalantly helpful." The Tearian royal women gossiped to themselves as they walked behind his elegant long flowing wings that matched his hair. A single pink feather floating in the air before Czigani before hitting the ground. The Servant picked it up and looked at her. "Shall we be on our way?" He asked. Looking at her with a bit of a raised brow as if she were not a royal. Yet he said nothing more than what he had to. [@Dread]
