I looked back on that day many times, yes I knew of my fiery powers, but I had not gained much skill with them in such places as love or passion.I had never been so close to it.And I never would be again.

I looked back as the world I had known faded from view. I knew I would never return.The world of Haloisi and my burried life there faded in to the mist.

Fyre Child

The Uruloki Sikil was a small vessel, a merchant vessel with spices, clothing and other items like slaves and other human cargo like myself. Nothing was ever asked of me, not to help upon the deck, not anything save for that when we reached the port that I would pay. I didn't know where we were heading, nor did I care. I knew that by now ten days after we had left the world I had known that we were leagues from Haloisi and all the memories I wished to forget.

The sailing was slow. And I found as we went that I was not made for the sea. I was made for solid firm unmoving land. When I could muster myself to go up on deck I kept watch on the nightly sky, tracking the stars as we went. Now all there was around me was sea, open sea.

Two weeks later The Uruloki Sikil pulled in to the dark dank port of Liree. From there I caught a wagon towards the inner most city. I had heard along the way about Rhydin and the blood fight going on there. The wagon took three days to get in to Rhydin's port. And as I stepped off and paid my dues I glanced over the city. It smelt of blood. Screams filled the night. I had come in to a war zone that much I knew. But what I did not know then was soon I would be a player in the war.

So used to being new in another town, so used to the long glances from people. Yet here there were no glances, no one dared look at me. Perhaps they saw my sheathed swords, perhaps they had reason to worry. Yet even as I smelt the blood upon the salty air I trekked on in to Rhydin. The city called out to me, called out for help with every twist and turn. And then there was something else, a pulse that I could not describe, a feeling as if I had friends here in the blood fight.

I walked all night, and until mid day the next day. Watching as the streets went from empty bloody places to busy merchant covered strips. I walked drawn in tot he city, the force I could not explain. Then I saw it rising as if from a great mist before me a great walled and gated Sanctuary. The power around it felt so close to my heart. Little did I know how close it was.

As I look back over my years, thouse years before the training and all the blood shed. I recall the days of youth, when things seemed so light and care free. When my father sued tot ake Logan and I out in tot he bay to fish. I learned on Uruloki Sikil that I can not take a long trip ona ship. Though in my youth I do not recall ever getting sea sick while fishing in the bay. But fishing in my fathrs small emrchant ship and sailing across the turning seas is a very different matter.

My father once said that one day we all would see the seven seas together. I always looked forward to it. But now, here I stand Alfirin and Meneluin in my hands, ready to do abttle. Ready to fight for this city. Rhydin. A city some say is not worth fighting for. There will always be bad people, always evil in the world. Rhydins eems over run by bad and evil people. The good people seem to eek out a living here. Some fight, some see no point. Lang told me that even if this darkness is beaten another may rise, then another. It is n endless blood fight. And many will die.

Will I be one of them? I would ahte to see Alfirn,Meneluin or Morthond in the hands of an enemy. But perhaps they would find their deaths at the end of thsoe cruved blades or at the end of one of those finely tipped arrows.

This warriors path has become less lonely, with new allies in old friends. And newer allies and a new feeling. One would be shocked to ehar me say that I Hera Fyre am in love with a demon. But he is unlike the wicked demons of Rhydin, though blood thirtsy as any of them. He is a hunter like me, a once assassin. He has moves I have never seen, and ways that are rough yet when he is near me, I feel at peace. Even in battle. We have taken down, bandits, smugglers and those who would wish ill upon the city and its peole side by side. But we are both loners. Our own aths just seemed to cross.

I wonder how long this will last, how long we will travel down the same path. I do not dney the pleasures I have felt and had in his company. But to what end? I will fight this fight, and the next and the next.I will die one day, my life span is normal than a humans, but not as long as a full elves would be. My father once told me I may live to see past two hundred years,if I was lucky. I know now I may not see past thirty. This war, may not be the last I fight in.But should it come to an end here, in Rhydin. I would go out no other way than fighting.

So I live each day,looking forward and trying not to look back.Learning from those around me. And I love with my full heart and hope he does mean what he says when he says he loves me. It may not last forever. But nothing ever does. If we can last these coming days, and last this blood fight.Maybe then, maybe then we could be something more.I do not know what it is we are now,lovers perhaps.More than just friends that is for sure. Only time will tell.

I have fought wounded many times over my years. An arrow in the arm, a broken rip,arm,or ankle. A swollen jaw here a black eye there. Tis the price you pay in war.Not everyone plays fair, sme fight unfairly, with wicked guns , and wild magic. In odds of twenty to one.


I had gone to the inn, after a long night of hunting aftera night of odds against me.And if Lang had nto been there... I would have gone out and ended up another bloody pile of bones in the west end.He followed me out and carried me away. He knew I was wounded, and that I wasnt letting on about the pain. He took me up over his arm and carried me out of the dark city.To our place outsdide the view of others.


I didnt dare wiggle there over his shoulder as he carried me out of town,like some child that ahd misbehaved.I didnt dare wiggle for it hurt to much to dare to move.And once they reached that hidden camp site, he'd lowered down to set me down. Then leaned back from me. Giving me a very stern look. I stood there for a few moments looking at that look he gave me befroe settling in tot he grass. "Fine,You Win."

"Undress..and let me tend to you." Reaching over to me to caress my cheek. I cant ever to keep myself from leaving back in tot hat touch ,"I know you wish to help your friends, but you can't help them if you are to hurt to fight. " I nodded, I knew he was right. I slowly slipped Alfrin and Meneluin off my back to the grass below by my feet, then I slowly lifted my arms and pulled off my shirt,t he wince went through me as did tehe sheer pain of my busted shoulder.My left arm was swollen,and disloacated, that much I knew.


Once I was done moving. He moved up closer to me, letting that dark fire cover his eyes as he slowly scanned over my form. I dare not to move nor even reach up to touch my left shoulder or even the arm itself.My lip was still bleeding ,I could taste the blood there as I licked my lips." I think its dislocated..."I looked to him, knowing he would know that just by looking.


" It is..". He then looked around a moment, before removing his belt.. "Bite this.." Holding out the belt to me. "I'll try to make this as pain less as I can.." Which meant it was gonna hurt like hell, it always did. I tookt he belt and nodded bitting down in to the leather.I swore I wouldnt scream,I tooka long breath through my nose and closed one eye, then gave him that nod, a sif to say, 'do it.'And he carefully place one hand around her arm the other one her shoulder, he then let a soothing touch of chilled water seep into the spot to help to numb the spot. A deep breath taken before he pulled, popping her shoulder back into place, as he had shifted so she could turn to press against him if she wanted to cry out.

I bit down in tot hat belt as hard as I could and winced as I heard the pop of my shoudler,I felt it go back in to palce, which felt better than when it was out of place. But I as much as I tired not to I did dcry out though it was muffled byt he belt in my mouth. He had pulled me close and it felt good to ahve him there.Tell you one thing, it hurts like hell to have your shoulder disloacted then relocated,hurts more to ahve it broken.But thats another story.He wrapped his arms around me, while stroking my hair.. "Shh.." Closing his eyes, as he started to let his energy seep into me. Aimming to soothe mysore body .I let go, leaning in to his soothing touches that I allowed in. I allowed that soothing cold pusle in to my warm worn body.


He shook his head softly , " What am I going to do with you?" Leaning back just enough to look down at me, trying to ease the tension. "Always going out..getting roughed up..and taken my fun away from me. " I looked at him tilting my head softly tot he side and shook my head, "your fun?There is pleanty of fun out..."I then caught what he meant and rolled my shoudlers with but a soft wince. "It feels better." I assured him.

He chuckled softly, then removed his coat, and slipped it around my shoulders. "You rest.." Now moving over to their bag of supplies, then moved to fix something hearty to eat .I nodded hugging his coat in closer as he moved to go make something to eat,sitting there doing nothing was rest right? "I can just sit here,sitting is resting right?"


"Right. " He glanced to me ever so often, then grinned at me hugging his coat around my form. "That almost looks better on you than it does on me. " I looked tot he coat then to him,he wore it better. He always looked so swave in it, as it showed off his broad shoudlers well, and the stength of his arms under the fine leather.Even when he wore nothing else under it.Especailly when eh wore nothing else under it.

I hugged the coat closer feeling the soothing warmth,smelling his scent upon the worn leather. "Naw, I like it on you more." But I did like wearing it, it made me feel at ease,healed even.Plus it smelt really good. He smiled to that and knew that if I looke dover the coat closely that I would see that faint aura of magic around it.Seems it was helping me feel better after all.He looked back to the food, adding a few spices he had gotten from town to the stew. I did catch that aura after a little while, but I was focused on him cooking.My hand then ran through my hair and touched my face. I could feel the bruise there upon my cheek lessing. I eyed him softly. He looked over his shoulder to me, and nodded lightly towards the coat. A silent gesture to let me know the coat was helping her to heal herself. Once the stew was done, he fixed two bowls then handed one out to me.

I smiled and took that offered bowl.I tooka deep bretah in smellign the sweet aromatics he used. I was never much of a cook, but I have always knwon good food. "Looks good." I smiled to him again, "Thanks.." he smiled as he sat across from me, then started to slowly eat, again looking at me every so oftern. I ate slwoly hugging that coat closer still as I did. " Stubborn elven amazon." Whispered then peered over at me as he took a bite . I smirked to that and had the perfect retort, "Half Elven." Another sip of soup and I grinned at him.


"Stubborn half elven amazon then.." Grinning at her, before waving his hand, summoning two bottles of chilled water. One floating over to me.I took the bottle in hand and wondered if I might pour it over my hot tired body but then looking at him again I did not and took a long sip. He took a sip of his own. "So my dear..besides getting your butt kicked today.. " He knew he would get hit for that, "what else did you do?" Yet I held back the want to hit hima cross the arm. I ate and shrugged though the pain still lingering in my arm, "nothing of note,I went tot he cemetery,spent some time alone." With old pain was more like it,I spent some time with old pains. He nodded lightly then looked down,setting his bowl aside. I sipped that water feeling the cold rush in to my body follwoed by my natural heat that followed after it.


He seemed to be deep in thought for a moment, as his hands came together.. Fiddling with the cap og the bottle. I had seen him liek that beforem but never so deeply. I could feel my eyebrows rise as I looked at him sidelong, "deep thoughts?" " Just thinking of my family". Looking to me with a small smile. I gave him slow nod to that then,then took another sip of water,

He then set the bottle to the side, before leaning towards her. Once hand coming up to cup my cheek. I leand in to his hand, that hand that ahd graced my cheek so many times before.I set my water aside and lifte dmy fingers along his hand as it rested there upon my cheek. "You don't ever talk about your family.. " "It is the same for me though, I dare not speak of their names or be drawn to tears."

He rested his forehead to mine." I barely knew them, but from what I remember.. They were very kind people.. " I watched as he closed his eyes. I ndoded any how , my fingers rising to touch and stroke his cheek. Then playfully softly I kissed the tip of his nose.As he opened his eyes and gazed in to mine. There in those eyes of his those eyes that hold so much love and tenderness for me, I saw that sadness. A sadness one can like me knows well. That look one shares with others whom have lost those they love the most, their family. " I am sorry..I know what its like.." I ran my fingers down his cheek ove rhis neck and to his chest over his broken and sad heart,I pressed my ahnd there and looked at him. " losing those you love... the pain never goes away..." I let the words flow from me a whisper. He nodded softly as he moved a hand to lay over mine. " True...and while we may feel we are both alone.. " He twisted his hand to interlock with mine then, " We have each other."

I nodded to that holding his hand in my own. "Yes, that is true." I knew I had him, I ahve knwon from the moemnt we met that I would always have him by my side in the war, each battle its own. Yet still i knew as I sat there his ahnd in mie so close to him,I was still so far away. I had not allowed him in not fully,not yet.He nodded softly, before slowly shifting closer to me.He held me, there in that moment.One hand still holding mine, with his other stroking through my hair. Part of him knew she hadn't let him in fully just yet. But he would wait till she did.

I closed my eyes and let him hold me close let then for a moment the walls that I had built around my soild form fall, crumble around me. I leaned there in to him enjoying the moment.And he would let his wings wrap around me, as if trying to shield me from everything. He gave my hand a soft squeeze, and kissed the top of my head. I like it there inside his wings,this I will admit. I feel so sheltered,so safe and sound. Like ntohing int he world can touch me there. I nuzzled closer in yto him breathing him in to me. I then returned that hand squeeze and looked in to his eyes. He openned his eyes and gazed back down at her. A soft loving glint in his eyes, when they locked with mine.

I saw that glint in his eyes, I have seen it before too. In the morning hours after waking in his arms, or late at night after a day of being away from each other. It always makes me blush. I knew he saw that look in my eyes, that look of love and contentment. Lifting my hand then i touched his wing letting that ahnd glide to his cheek and rest there and spoke his name. "Lang.." " Yes, my love?" Hs eyes closed to my soft touch along his wing to his cheek , then leaned his cheek into her hand. Softly nuzzling into it. I starred at him, his eyes closed,trying to find the words I wanted to say. I knew how badly I wanted to let him in. But I could not find the words to tell him, I just proessed my hand to his cheek and emitted a soft warmth in to his skin,then kissed hm softly upon the lips.


And he started to kiss me back softly, with a veyr faint purr echoing in his throat to feeling that warm glow seeping into his form from my hand on his cheek. I felt that purr and shifted back from that kiss,my fingers wiggled there upon his cheek, "I have felt alone for most of my days ..since leaving home.. " my words but a whisper." And I don't want to be any more.. I want to let you in.. " I starred at him,meaning every word.


" I want to let go of the anger, and the hate amd fight with justice in mind, not just for the kill.." Then my fingers traced over his lips.Slowly openning his eyes, with a kiss to my fingers as they brushed his lips. With a soft nod to my words. " It is hard..to let someone in, after living alone for so long.. as well as fighting full of hate.." Taking in a deep breath. "I know..because we are more alike than either of us know.. We've walked similar paths...both filled with death, hate, anger..and the pain of loss. " That was true we did walk paths much alike.


"Those paths are hard to walk.. a long off distant look then. I would like it if .... " I took a breath, and took the leap of faith, squeezing his hand in mine, " we could find a way to walk this new path together.. for I.. " I tooka moment,took another breath, "I love you, very much.." Those words have never been easy for me to say even now when they ring true.He nodded softly again, while squeezing my hand softly, " Shh, Hera.. I already told you..I am your's..I will follow you anywhere..even if you head to the very gates of Hell..it's self.. I'll be there by your side.." I smiled to that, "good." Kissing him then, "I'd have it no other way."

He smiled and kissed me back "Now if you head towards the Scath's place.. I'm so not going there". Shaking his head. I snickered to that, yes I had a room there all set out for me a place at the sisters dinner table, but my place was there, is there.. " I wouldnt dare.. my place is here..." He knew as I looked at him ti would take wild horses to drag me away.

He chuckled softly to that. " I mean..you would have me far out numbered.. Who knows what they would do to me? " "They would do ntohing to you I wouldnt let them. No your never out numbered, I am on your side first.. then theirs.." I felt a smile then cross my face, " your more to me than they are ,they are sisters and I am their ally nothing more ." He nodded softly to that "Relax...they are your friends, and I wouldn't do anything to cause you to chose sides.." He then kissed my nose Now a kiss to her nose .I smiled looking at him, " I know you wouldnt, but I would choose love,if it came down to it. They would understand... "

He nodded softly to that," I know you would, as would I. Tis why I do try to get you to rest when you are hurt.. I know you would fight till your last breath.. " He knew that well enough, "That I would. I am glad you get me to rest then.. I know I need it ." I slept there in his arms that night as I had many nights before.

Perhpas with time the walls shall fall fully and I will allow him in. Till then,I savor what we have.

"You've lost none of your power."Dulin sat in an alley way Hera sat beside him both bretahing hard fromt he fights of the night.

"Thanks." She smirked, her face a touch bloody but none of it her own. "You've gotten better than I remember." He grinned his face too had spots of blood. " Thanks." He then rose and offered her his hand. "The night is young?"

Hera rose taking the offered hand. "The nights almost over."Looking off tot he soft salmon color taking over the horizon. " Night shift is over. We did good, a few scum bags dead more to jail, I'll get the hang of the law and order thing." Dulin snickered, " Haloisi Akh'Velahr was never about law and order it was about blood and justice." Hera nodded, " but it wasnt real justice just blood paid. Here theres more law and order, sometimes it works. Sometimes." She sheathed her swords. " Sometimes it pays to be an assassin?" She grinned to that, " blood of those who do no good, never ahs bothered me. Its the innocent blood that stays on my hands those i should have,could have saved, or shouldnt have killed." He nodded to that.

"You couldnt have known." He looked from ehr tot he sky as the sun rose. Drawing up the hood now to hide his face and eyes from the glare of the coming sun. Hera shifted then in to the shadows too starting to walk. "I know, but doesnt change the fact that I wish I could go back and save them." He nodded and walked with her, " so now where?"

"I have a cmap,set out in the glen, but I've been staying with my fellow justice fighters. As of late." Dulin looked over at her as they walked, " relationship issues?" Hera stopped cold and shrugged to that looking him over. " let me guess you can smell him?" Dulin nodded, " doesnt take much any more, i spent years getting good at what most drows are good at by birth right. Who ever he is, he must be just as wild as you are.Or hes tamed you." She sent hima long look at that, "No one tames Hera Fyre. "

He had a good chuckle to that. "So where can I stay, that wont cost me much." "Well I'd invite you in tot he freedom fighters place, but I am sure thats not allowed. Theres a few inns and taverns with rooms and such, and wide open glen and woods not far." He nodded, "I'll stear clear of the Glen, dont wanna run in to your hunny and have a fight.. I'll stay in the woods, never been one for rooms or close spaces." He stopped then, " you go, we can meet here tomorrow night?" Hera looked around at that, the corner of Eighth and Verin. "Sure.I'll be here." Dulin nodded and slowly slid off, " go see your man, who knows maybe hes missed ya, if not. I'll be in the woods." He slowly fadded in tot he coming day using the shadows as his path. Hera watched him go then turned to head for the glen.

Eighth and Verin. Just an hour till the sun was gone. Hera knew she was early.She also knew Dulin would be there. Old habits die hard. "Your early." He smirked looking to her from under the cowl of his hood. Those jade toned eyes settled upon her and he spoke softly, "you too." He looked back towards the water off in the distance.

"Have a good night?" He finally asked after a long moment in slience. "Yes." Looking over to him, she ahd a good ngiht alone in the glenn with her man.As always her demon was full of surprises. "You?" He was smirking under that hood as she looked back to him, "the woods are nice,quiet. " Wondering what the smirk was about Hera eyed him, "whats with the look?" He just shook his head, "nothing, ready for some action?" "Always." Was her soft reply before heading in to the warehouses beyond them. Dulin followed her looking tot he dimming light, once it was gone he lowered the hood. Hera could feel his jade hues burrning in tot he back of her head. Stopping she turned to face him, "Whats with the look?" color=olive]"Admiring your sense of style.." Looking her in the eyes for a moment before by passing her. "Don't get any ideas." He smirked to that, "don't worry, don't want to fight you." Hera smirked, "what about the guy I am with." Dulin just smiled looking in a window, "I could take him. I couldnt just take you.. not off hand..."

"You couldnt take me period." Walking on before hearing the sound of windows breaking, "its show time."

~~

Hours of blood and sweat, more scum to the jail a few more dead. Hera sat outside one fo the warehouses wipping off those double baldes while Dulin delt with the rhydin guards and all the politics of the justice system. The guards just gave her the up nod as they dragged off the scum. "Seems they are happy to have another freedom fighter in town." He tooka seat beside her. "Yeah, this place needs all it can get." She sheathed her swords and looked over to him, then in to the darkness.

Suddenly she looked over and became very aware of how close ehr comrade in the business was to her. "What?" Chestnunt brows rose at him. He was staring in to her eyes, his hand moved to touch that mark upon her face. She recolied softly, "thats a dangerous thing..." He smirked, " worried your going to burn me alive? Or did you just like it?" Glaring at him, " last time I checked I was spoken for and, no not worried, but I could do just that." He leaned in again. "Hera seriously.." She shot him a long look, "look im dangerous and you know it.. just don't do that again."She rose to her feett hen. But he grabbed her by the hand,her hands were ungloved tonight,the weather was warming and it was easier without the gloves. His skin was cold at first against her own, thens he felt the pusle of the earth under her feet, the trees near seemed to whisper dark secrets to her and allt he while his jade eyes locked to her cyan toned eyes. "You cant hurt me Hera.. " He stepped in clsoer and she stepped back. "Look.. that may be true."She pulled on her hnd till it was free, " but even so, were comrades,friends.. nothing more." He starred at her, "a nd what is it you think I want from you?"

She eyed him, "what most men want from me." He chuckled darkly to that, "to enjoy you company in bed?" She nodded, " thats about right." He chuckled again, " its entered my mind since seeing you again. And your style doesnt help, the way you fight, the way you dress..the way you move... I had long forgotten the passion in those eyes of yours when fighting..." She starred at him, "what is it you want then?" "To fight the good fight, till there nothing worth fighting for, or until this city breaks under the pressure..then maybe I'll move on some where else.. " She nodded to that. "But don't get me wrong the idea of you spread out ona silken clad bed,awaiting my pleasure, has entered my mind." With every word he inched closer to her, " and should you ever find your self in need I'd be willing to accomdate." She just starred at him, " I have a man I love." He nodded to that, "yes I know this. But here you are alone with me in this dark alley way beyond the eyes of any one. " He was very close now, and Hera starred at him with that fire in her eyes. "A different time,a different place.. "She inched back turning on a heel to go back to the hunt and he was there on her heels.

"Seriously."Dulin walked stopping the fleeing Hera. "You've never run a way in your life." He grabbed her hand harder this time. Hera snapped a glance at him, looking him dead in the eyes. Before twisting his arm behind his back in one move. "Seriously...I could break your arm... but I won't" She let him go and pushed him forward. "I am all for a little casual flirting on the job, in the work place out in the inn what ever, but you over step your bounds with me and I'll make you one very blackened drow."

Dulin smirked softly, "So your saying that if I." He moved before he talked moving quickly as fast as she could, they did after all train once same place same time. Hera found her elf back to the warehouse wall before she knew it. "Did this.."He touched her face again, " you will burn me to a sinder?"

Hera glared at him and her cyan eyes flared through that glare. "Don't press me." She kneed him not hard but enough to get him to back off. Dulin smiled looking around, they w re all alone so he thought so he walked back up behind her as she walked away.

Hera determined not to turn her old friend in to charcole walked away before the moment got its upper hand. But she heard him following her. "Go back to the woods Dulin, I'll see you tomorrow night, coner of Rosewood and Elm." She walked not looking back. "Come on Fyre.." He walked up behind her catching her by the hips. "Don't walk a way mad at me." Hera turned her head over at him, " get your hands off me then, and we'll be good."

But he did what he likely shouldnt have his hand moved down to give her ass a squeeze. "But were old friends, what a little fun between two old friends?" Hera spun freeing his hands from her body, she was going to break his fingers.

Dulin stood still as Hera still had his arm in a lock and was about to break his fingers that was before she heard Lang's voice.She had known in the back of her mind that someone had been watching them.

Hera let go and the drow rose off the street shaking his arm out. One might not the marks burne din to his dark skin. He sure did. H elooked to Lang then, someone so serious. "So your the boy toy..." He looked again to Hera, "you sleep with this guy?"

Hera cast a long fiery look at him before moving from Lang, she moved so fast he might not have been able to stop her. But surely he would hear the pop of breaking fingers and a broken wrist. Dulin hit the street again in pain grabbing at his fingers with his unbroken hand. Hera starred at him, " yes I sleep with him, and hes an amazing lover, now go away. And in a few weeks when you heal, if you stick around I'll be on the docks, if not. Then see ya around." She looked to Lang then, " lets go."

Dulin sat there a moment holding his broken hand and wincing through the burns left by the fire child. Before he walked off in to the darkness.

Revenge is an art form,crafted in time with care.

Proving Lang wrong never took her too much thought. She pulled him up off the grass and dragged him down tot he alk then went for a very 'heated' swim with him. Sleeping was always easier with him close.

When the monring came Hera knew she would be alone. As it had been for a few days now. Hour s of work in this town never ended. So she dressed and got her things ready ebfore wlaking out of the tent in tot he sun light. The glenn glittered beyond. The sun bounced off her long chesnut llockes as she pulled them back. Clean swords were shetahed along her back as she walked towards town.

She had found an ally who had turned in to a pig so swiftly. Now again she'd be out hunting alone, not that it bothered her. Yet from the forest near a pair of green eyes watched her as she walked for town. Those eyes dead set upon something,one thing. Revenge in the best way.
The early morning began as usual, a cup of hot cofffee at the tea house. Then she swung by the Sancturay to say hey the ladies before setting out to sweep the day time streets for purse snatches and pick pockets. The run of the mill types.

It was a slow morning. A slower afternoon dagged on as she sat in the market place watching people pass. Thpse she knew got a wave but other than that she watched looking for somehting to keep ehr mind on the task at hand. When a woman screamed in horror,Hera was up and across the square as fast as she could. In a alley way two thugs had dragged the poor woman who kicked and screamed. Hera dashed in after them. It wasnt like normal thugs or even the low lives of Rhydin to attack so in day light. As Hera rushed in tot he alley way she saw that the two thugs leane dover the woman, vampires. The scent Hera knew well. "Hey!" She called at them and they turned eyes blood red mouths dripping with blood, yet the woman was still alive. They dropped her and went in for Hera, who looked like a good second meal. But to their dismay they were charechole before they reached her.

Hera smirked wlaking through the ashes to the womans side helping her up. "You'll live." She handed ehr a long piece of gauze . The woman smield softly, "thank you.." she took the guaze and dashed out of sight. "Just another day on the.." A hand holding gauze soked in soemthing foul smelling went over her mouth and nose. Hera felt dizzy as she fought backwards stabbing her elbow behind. But the blow somehow missed and she faded in to darkness.

"Wakey wakey ." A smooth male voice flowed in to ehr ears, and Hera opened her eyes to look in to a darkened room, she tried to sit up only to find her hands were bound tightly down as were her legs, she tired then to burn her self free but it was of no use. "Theres no point in trying to burn your way out, fire proof ropes.." Hera looke din tot he shadows for the voice, those cyan eyes still blurred she could amke out a figure leaning in what looked to be an open door way. "You know. It wasnt as hard as I thought it might be to tie you down with only one useable arm." Then his face came int o view, thsoe green eyes, his body lit up then by a light, the room was now dimly lit but only by fire light. "Hello Fyre."

Hera starred at him unable to scream or speak for her mouth was gaged. Dulin smirked looking to her he had placed all her wepons upo n a table a few feet from her. "I caught you off guard. Or rather you played in to my hands a shame to loose two men I paid for but..." Hera glared at him fighting the binds. "Your a fiesty one." He wlaked towards her and ran his fingers up her leg. It was then Hera noted her shirt and pants were gone and she lay there in her panites and bra. The sexy ones she had on the night before for Lang. "I like this look on you, " he grinned his hand moving up her leg stillt hen acors sher hip. Hera inched and pulled on the ropes. Fire burned in her cyan eyes. He just smiled, " I wanted to be friends, I wanted us to be better than just that, more than old comrades. But then you have a man.. but that doesnt matter to me, he wont want you once I am done with you." He grinned. Hera pulled on the ropes and muttered something through the gag. "Whats that sweet?" He removed the gag.

Hera screamed, not one for that usually but she did so any way. He just chuckled, " were in the middle of the forest,no one will hear you." She then spat at him, "I am going to kill you once I am free." He chuckled, " good luck with that, I should be healed before tomorrow night, until then." He ran his fingers down the curve of her breast. "I'll just have to touch you like this, you may come to enjoy my touch, you'll never feel your lovers again. " "Lang will kill you." He just smirked, " he wont find you..nor any of your little friends." He leaned down and gave her a kiss upon the lips which she fought all the way biting him. He with drew and but the gag back on.

"You had to refuse me.. well come this time tomorrow night you wont have a choice...Then you can tell me whos a better lover...me or your demon."He then ran his hand under the lace of her bra over her soft flesh. He felt the heat rising through it. Hera had to focus, trying to burn him to a sinder as he touched her. He with drew his ahnd looking to the redness. "I'll just have to bring a big bucket of ice water in." He then turned and left the room.

Hera peered around trying to see if she knew the place, but she did not. She fought with the ropes again. She had been away working before and she didnt spend every night with Lang some nights she was with the sisters at the Sanc or working. Lang might not think anything of her not being there at the camp site, but she knew somethign else wa son ehr side. She ahd lefta note for Lang at their camp. She recalled it perfectly:


"Dear Lang,

Its never the same waking up without you here. But I am getting better at it. I am off for another day of work. I'll be in the market place most of my morning and afternoon, then I'll be sweeping west end with some of the ladies from the Sanc after dark. But I'll see you later, and I'll prove to you again that I am not tame. Be carefull out there.

Love,
Hera."


She fought with the ropes again. Lang would find that note and when she didnt show up he might start to worry. He could track her. She looked to the windows high above the bed where she was tied like a prisioner. It was black outside, past midnight now for sure. She would have been back at the glenn by now. She knew Lang would give it an hour maybe two befroe sweeping west end and the market place for her. He knew many of the sisters as well and if he went to them they would tell him she never showed. It wasnt like her to skip out on duty. Pulling on the ropes she remined ehr self she would get free and roast her old friend to dust.

Hera fought till her wrists were red from the ropes. The hour had gone by and Dulin walked back in to the room. He then poured ice cold water over her exposed flesh. Heras skin sizzled and steamed and she winced almost with pain, it wasnt like then Lang would pulse her with water magic, he was always carefull about his dose. This was full on ice cold water poured over her frame. It nearly made her go numb. But the fire burned on in her eyes.

"Now then.." His hand touched her cooled skin just above the waistline of her black panties. Then he drew it up over the form of that bra and her breast giving them both a squeeze. Hera glared at hims till gagged. He just smirked at her. "I intend to take my time with you now, but just you wait. Tomorrow I'll push the boundries. "His hand slipped down her stomach over the front of her panties and down the insides of her thigh. Hera glared at him as the ehat started to return to her body. He with drew his hand before any of it could reach him. "Soon.."he leaned down whispering in her ear before gracing her tattooed cheek. Then he was gone again.

She counted the mintues looking around trying to figure a way out to get to her swords any weapon to cut her binds to get free. But he was back too soon for ehr to really make a plan. This time he smirked to her going in close and shoving something hard and cold under her back. She shivered as she felt the hard large ice cube melting under her back . Then once more he dumped ice cold water over her. Then he poured a bucket of ice over her form. He smirked watching her skin turn blue.

Hera shivered, she felt the cold deepen, flow through her veins, the steam rose from ehr skin but she couldnt make herself flare up any where but in her eyes. He then leaned n brushing the ice from her bra and cut it off her body. He smirked looking at her breasts exposed and cold. "I'll warm you up." Hera fought shakking off as much ice as she could but he kissed her any way over the from of her breast. Squeezing the other with his hand. "I may not be able to wait till tomorrow." He licked at her breast smirking up at her as he ran his hand down below her pantie line. "Hmm.."He smirked feleing the heat begin to rise from her skin already, " I think I'll need more ice.." He rose but before he left he cut her panties off. "I'll be back."

Hera shivered cold and looked to the high windows, it was still dark out, but not as dark as before. It was near two am, by the looks of it. She now fought with that gag in her mouth. Running her tongue over the back of it in her mouth she suddenly relaized it was no ore than simple cloth. It only too a moment to set it on fire. The fire soaked in to he cloth and buned it away. She licked at her lips, untouched by the burn. She wouldnt scream that would do no good. Instead she foucsed on the floor, made of tile, little flickers of flame burst from ehr fingers and danced down to the tile.

The longer she focused the more tiles got oven heated. It was a two fold plan, if Dulin walked in hr'd burn his feet, even if he was wearing boots, and two, there were roots under those tiles some where deep under the floor. If she could she would try set the tree just outisde that high window on fire. That would be one hell of a beckon in the night. The tiles glowed red soon from the heat and she saw the slight flicker of flames outside that high window. Lang was looking for her she had no doubt in that, but it would be hard to find her in the middle of the forest, that burning tree should give it away.

She shivered still as the natural fire returned to her form she knew she had moemntes before he would return with more cold water and ice, she knew what he wnated and that she wouldnt be able to fight him with her body so chilled. She had been barely able to send those fire pulses, but at least it would buy her some time.

The door then creeked open. When he steppped on to the tiles he yelled in pain. The scent of burnt flesh quickly filled the room. She looked over at him as he hopped around out side the door. She knew he wore no clothing, she could see that. Yet his feet had been burned quite baldy by thosered hot tiles. "See what happens when you mess with me?" She asked looking at him. He glared in at her tossing that ice cold water over the tiles they sizzled and cracked. He then limped in and tossed that bucket of cold water with slushie ice over her. "You shut it." He smacked her with his one good hand hard across the face. The ice water and ice slush chilled her body blue again. He then looked to her perfect chilled body, "I' shall enjoy,this.I can hardly wait to see that fire in your eyes when you feel me enter you..." He walked closer now running his hand from her neck to naval then lower. Then he ran his hand up again . Hera glared at him,she wasnt going to scream, but she did fight with those ropes. He then jumped up and leaned over her ice slusie covered form, he brushed it away only in the areas he watned and started to lean in. Coving her mouth with his hand. Heras body was blue to the cold but her fingers moved along the bed side warming up faster than the rest of her. She knew he was close to achiving what he'd dreamt of, but if she set the bed on fire before he could get there she may have a chance.

Outisde that tree burned brightly.

Hera knew he would be there just int he nick of time. But Lang did have a way of making an entrance. . Dulin didn't note a tihing that was until He saw Lang and they started fighting.

hera watched them fight breahing in deeply as she tried to fight the cold off.

She watched her demon, mad as hell burn he rold comrade to ash before too long passed.


"Lang..." She shivered as he cut her free. Then he fell tot he bed next to her. The ice was gone from ehr form but she was still cold. She curled up against his sleeping form knwoing he was alright. She kissed his cheek softly and lay there. He'd saved her, and it wasn't the first time. She lay there for a moment before she rose and found a robe in one of the other rooms fo the house. She wrpaped it over her nude form and wlaked still shievring to Alfirina nd Meneluin on the walla nd she touched them both atonce along the blades. Alfirin saprked and sent a pusle of fire in to ehr cold ahnd and Meneluin shocked her a bit. But thats what she ahd wanted them to do. She took them down holding them in her hands before going to lay beside Lang again.

She curled there Alfirin with in her fingers reach it wamred her along with the feeling of Lang beside her.

Hera breathed softly laying there fully awake. No way she would sleep right now.

There was nothing like the feeling of freedom.No worries int eh world.In Nosgoth Hera ahd found a peace she had never known.They ahd their own little place to stay, and she met Langs 'family' one of which she already knew. Seeing the dark brooding one on his own turf was somehting new for Hera. Then after a two weeks in Nosgoth,Lang swept ehr up on their way to the place known as Edhel Ndor. A place wehre they would be welcomed, the palce where Greentone stood, and the place that this festival was going to take place. Hera worried the whole way there,she didnt know what to expect.

Hera glared at him as she looked aorund the decorated castle. She could see a few forms moving up stairs but it seemed they were among the first to arrive to this festive.

"I will not waddle." She hit his shoudler from behind and looked around the lounge. Two people were sitting in there at the moment.A young elven male with dark blue hair and a femle with silver hair sat on his lap. "We must be very early." She shot him another look then two more came in to view. A woman with auburn hair and the strnagerst tone of eyes,lavender and a man at her side. Heras brows rose softly.

:Hera lay on her stomach looking at him listening to the castle get quiet, save for the little noises she heard down the hal la nd down stairs .Wide awake thinking about tomorrow, a big wedding day and a ball no less. She had a dress, she had help in picking it out, she was nervous about wearing it.::

Lang was leaning back on the wall by the bed, watching her right back. :: Oh relax.. you are going to look hot in the dress..

You havent even see it yet :;she smriked over at him as he leaned there:: Youd be happy if I were nude, then again.. so would many of the men, maybe I'll go nude ::flipping over smirking at him::

Go ahead.. and I'll go nude to. :: Moving to the bed, before laying on his side. :: Let the older women here look at my young body.

::she smirked:: No way,they might try and pounce you :: moving in closer to him:: Hmm I'll wear the dress, but if you make fun of me in it..::she shook her head at him::I dont even like this thing they wear to bed ::she pointed to the green night gown she wore::its so girly

He looked her over for a moment, then smirked at her. :: Now don't you look like a little girl in that..

:;she smriked, it was short on her, all the elven women were so short even this nightgown that she barrowed from Salice wasnt long enough it barely met the top of her thighs and showed lots of cleavage not likeshe minded that.:: uh huh, elf women... all around and hes here with me ::grinning::

You could take it off. :: Playfully tugging at it. Seeing how he was in the nude as well.. Maybe he wanted her to join him. ::

::she looked him over then tugged it off over her head:: better ?:; laying there smriking at him.::

:: He smirked back at her, before pressing a finger into her shoulder, to get her to lay on her back. ::

:;she smirked and lay back looking at the ceiling.:: This place makes you fiesty...

Does the same to you too. :: Brushing the hair from her face to expose that tattoo. ::

::she watched him smiling as he touched her hair and brushed it off her face:: umm well I am always fiesty around you... :: she tugged on his arm as his hand passed her face:;

True. :: Slipping his hand into her's, before lifting her hand up to his lips for a kiss. ::

::she smiled softly.:: So ::she sat up a touch:: you dont think I should go to the wedding like this :: grinning as her fingers traced his bare shoulder over her mark there::

: He smirked to that. :: Maybe you should wear white. :: Whispered to her, as he closed his eyes to her caressing that spot. ::

::she snickerd: the bride wears white silly... and my dress is ::she almost gave it away:: so not white... ::she caressed that amrk slowly giving hima little spark in to it too.:: I cant wait to see you ina tux, all handsome....::grinning now:: and then I get to rip it off..

One eye openned at her. :: And what's wrong with you wearing white? :: Laying a hand to her hips, befoer sending a pulse back into her. ::

::she grinned:; you'd just pour water over me to see through my dress me wear white... maybe someday :: smirking:; but tomorrow Mila is the bride... besides Shea is wearing white too... I had to go against the grain...you'll like my dress, its sexy

He smirked to that. :: Might make you wear white anyways. :: And just for the water comment.. He let a wave of water seep into her. ::

::she shivered softly:;Hmmm no you wont, not once you see me in my dress :: she gave him a pulse of fire back for that teasing water.::

he smirked. :: You forget the festival in Rhy'Din..

::she grinned softly:: umm well that was a balck dress and I look good in black...

That you did. :: Moving his hand up to caress her tattoo. ::

::she smiled and closed her eyes:: guess what color my dress is? :: she smriked::

:: He tilted his head. :: Red?

: ::she poked him::you peeked at it didnt you or did Jade spill? :; she sat up a touch::

He smirked to that. :: No..I didn't.. and she did spill it.. :: Smirking more. :: After I worked it out of her.

::she poked him more:: uh huh ::she shook her head:;Darkmere would eat you if you worked anything out of his lupine.
::grinning::

: A poke in return. :: She let me work the information out of her..

:;she shook her head::uh huh, you too have a kiss in the hallway? ::kissing his mark upon that bare shoulder as she wrapped her legs about him some.::

Aye.. really had to work that tongue of her's :: Snaking an arm around her. So trying to get her jealous. ::


:;she smriked::; Hmmm I bet shes a very good kisser, though I think Id rather work out my tongue with :: she gave it some thought::hmmm ither Darkmere or Damien... or maybe Victor...

: He smirked to that. :: I think not.. You belong to me.. :: Pulling her closer. ::

::she grinned and kissed him softly:: and you belong to me no kissing lupines... :: pressing her hands aong his chest:: My sexy lover... ::purring as she tugged him down to her as she lay back on the bed.::

:: And he moved with her, letting his hands press into the bed. :: So I can kiss the pretty little elven women.. Alright. :: Wild smirk down at her. ::

I am a pretty little half elf woman and I'll just have to do for you ::grinning up at him:: I just as sexy as any of them... more so ::grinning as she leane du and stole a kiss::

And he broke that kiss. :: Hmm... I might be convinced.

::she grinned at him:: hmmm good... Otherwise I'll have to tie you to the bed and convince you all night...

you don't feel anything on your finger? :: Smiling sweetly down at her. ::

::she looked up oddly at him then felt that sttange weight upon her finger, she looked over at it pressed just above her shoulder;: Hmm ::she held the hand in front of her::

And she would see a ring on her left hand.. ring finger. Seems he was a sly one. ::

::she starred at him then.: Are you serious? :;she starred back at the ring shocked, happy and near pouncing him over::

And over he went, with a smrik. :: Would you rather see someone else wearing my ring?

No :;she lay on top of him:: I love it ::kissing him:: and I love you:: wiggling down clsoe to him::and I didnt get you anything... hmmm ::pinning him playfully down::

He kissed her back, before smirking up at her. :: I know you love me.. all ther women love me. :: Back to playing the bad boy. ::

Umm hmmm but your mine :;she pointed to the ring:: and I am yours :: she grinned,straddling his lap:: this is why you wanted me in white , you were trying to be all sly about this...

You caught me. :: Said softly as his hands caressed her hips. :: And I'll take that as a yes.

You didnt ask, you just slipped the ring on, I am still waiting... :smirks::

: He smirked to her. :: But you said you were mine when you pointed to the ring. That counts as a yes.

::she just looked dow at him witht hsoe bright cyan eyes:: I am still waiting.. ::toying with his hair now::

: And he took her hand into his, lightly kissing the ring. :: Will you marry me? ::she smiled, and gave it a moment :; yes.. ::like shed say anything else::

: And he kissed her hand again. :: Good.. because I was going to ask someone else. :: Just to tease her. ::

uh huh ::she smirked:: who? ::looking to the ring then to him.::
: He smirked to that. :: Well.. there's Sira.. maybe Novella.

Novella is with Magus and hed tear your herat out and eat it and Damiena nd Sira make a cute little couple... ::smirking:: though if you asked Sira I could give Damien a ride hed never forget
No. :: Growling softly as he pulled her down to lay against him. :: You are mine.

:;she smriekd:; hmm yes ::she looked in to his eyes:: I am... hmm
maybe I should give you that ride you'd never forget ::grinning now, as she gave him a little pulse of magic::

A purr to that, as he sent a rush of ice cold water into her. :: You do that every night.. more so when I save your hide.
::she grinned:: yes well.. not every night ::she lay there on top of him:: Hmm guess we'll have to plana wedding... then you can see me in white... :: He chuckled softly. :: Aye.. that we will have to do..

Once they returned to Nosgoth, more so their little house there. Both had went back to doing their best to help out inf Rhy'Din. Lang even going so far to willingly do a charity auction.

Of course like always he prefered his alone time with Hera. At the moment he was laying on his side, watchnig the fire child as she slept. One hand moving up to brush some hair from her face.

He always enjoyed watching her when she was sleeping peacefully. " What am I ever going to do about you?" Whispered softly, as he leaned down to kiss her cheek.

Hand moved to rest on her stomach, making little elven designs on it. Not wishing to wake her at the moment, as both have been working twice as hard to catch back up.

Stalking his way through the marketplace, muttering under his breath. Before taking a lean against one of the buildings. A soundable thud, and dust and blood. " demons, monsters,vampires, men.." she shook her head and whipped the thick blood from her forhead. " What about demons? " Looking up as he heard her voice, but didn't see her. her brows arched at his voice and she looked down. " some leave a mess. "She smirked softly though he wouldnt see it. "comin down!" and she jumped, it was three maybe four stories and she landed lightly on her feet before him.

He started to say something, before she landed in front of him. A slow smirk at how she looked. "Rough night? " Already removing his coat, then wrapped it around her. She smirked softly, " ahh back to blood, and guts and other things "she smiled at his coat most of the blood on her wasnt hers, her shirt was torn in a way hed like,right across her bust line,in a sharp angle too, it showed skin, not like she cared:. "You, " she titled her head and touched his cheek with her clean hand, "You look tense."

" Bad night at the inn. " Faint smile, before using the coat to tug her in closer. " Better now.. " True, he did enjoy the sight before him.A smirk and looked around, "no one else around lover boy, you dont have to worry abut anyone taking a peek." she moved in and kissed his cheek. " You like this look? " Motioning down across her torn bloody shri t"True.. but this looks better on you." Winking down at her, before kissing her cheek back. " Maybe.. you look like you been fighting me. " Teasing her.. As their trainning sessions could get rather violent at times.She was glad to make his night better. "I was there at the inn, all smokey, the roof is always better. " she grinned:, "hmm well demons fight like devils...sometimes..," She liked their training methods, "good to be back in some .ways...in some ways I miss Nosgoh and even your little elf friends."

He nodded lightly, before shifting to let her put the coat on. " True.. "Then a smirk. " You never complained about me being a devil in bed. " Wiggling his brows at her. She slid his coat on she did love that coat. "hmm no, why would any woman complain about that ?" she gave his back side a little smack. "with how you are in bed... " He gave her rump a smack in return. " True.. not that you would let me show the other ladies. Like our little elven friends."

She eyed him, "and which one would you like to show? Salice? Shea maybe, everyone of you men seems to like her, to tease her, hmm. "she Leaned on him , "I could make my self have blue hair, though I am not going to shirnk down to her level though I suppose as shes married to a very tall man shes good for many things."

He chuckled to that., " Well there is this one elven woman I have had my eye on. " Slipping from her as he started to head away from town.Her brows arched and she watched him. "I could tug at my ears some, I am half elven if its about the ears...." He looked over his shoulder. "Not going to stalk me and make me talk?" "Nope" she smirked and zipped up his jacket then under it she tore off the rest of her shirt and tossed it to the ground then zipped the jacket down to meet her cleavage. " I'll just walk around town, do what I gotta do... you go find that elf.." she smiled and turned:

He smirked to that, before continuing on his way. "Guess I'll have to find another lovely woman to wear my ring.. "Seeing if she'd catch his meaning.She flashed her hand. "I'm already wearing it." shed tapped it down but now the tape was off and the ring was clean and in perfect conditon, "but if you want it back you can come get it and your jacket too this elf might be cold. " zip, a little lower went that jacket

"How about you come with me.. and I'll keep you warm?" She shurgged and went to go with him. "thats more like it..".And he looped an arm around her, heading home with her. She grinned up at him and walked with him:

It was always nice staying in the cottage, no fuss no muss, no business, just relaxation, but the fire child only found that when she was asleep. She had woken up and was sitting outside under the moon light again, where had the day gone, a smirk crossed her lips, she knew where it had gone.

And Lang was leaning back against a nearby tree, wearing nothing but his pants, before looking over to her. And she finally wakes up... You must be getting out of shape on me. Sly smirk as he winked at her.

She spied him and shook ehr head at him I am in great shape she flexed a bit, she was in the best shape of her life, she wore black cotton pants and a black tank top, her feet were bare. just because you can go with out sleep doesnt mean I can..

He chuckeld softly. You are mistaken my dear.. I do need sleep.. and have only been awake for a few hours..

she grinned at him,laying there,proped against the tree.Umm hmm she walked over and nudged his leg with her bare foot calling me out of shape... nudge nudge nudge

I am. Smirking as he watched her form, then uncrossed his ar,s to reach for her. Maybe I should see if Jade was serious about..pouncing me.

she nearly growled at him for that we settled that already didnt we? settling in to his lap. I think i settled it very well, you seemed to enjoy it, and Id like to see jade try...

he smirked and sliped his arms around her. That sounds like a dare. grinning slow, as Hera knew beter than to dare him.
she sat there and shook her head I hope if you go off and try to get her to pounce you that Darkmere eats you a poke to his nose

Nip at that poking finger. Oh relax.. I'm not going to go find Jade.. and get her to pounce me. A kiss to her brow. Unless we are alone.

She traced a slow line along her own marking upon his arm. Smirking,sending alittle pulse of fire in to it. uhh huh, then still the brooding king will eat you a smirk wouldnt you rather have me pounce you?

pulse of fire in return as she traced that mark. Hard for you to pounce me at the moment.. besides.. you said you don't like my kisses when we are alone. Mocking a pout.

she kissed that mock pout I do so like them she liked sitting on his lap though And I pounced you before in bed,remember?

He smirked to that. You also pounce me when I am trying to work.. Claimming you are saving me Poking her lightly. Even when no one is around.

she grinned Well its your own damn fault she pressed a hand to his chesty your just too sexy.. and hey , there have been times where ive come in handy on the job

True.. when you distract them. Teasing her, as he was sure to get a pulse of fire from her.

she did right to his chest where her fingers lingered and she didnt hold anything back that pusle rising though her fingers and even the fire showed in her eyes

Which got him to close his eyes for a moment. Alright.. you have other talents.. mostly in the bed room. Openning one eye. Oh he knew she could fight, he just enjoyed pushing her buttons.

she growled and gave him more I have many many talents and you know it, and not just in the bed room, but I am glad I so please you demon boy a kiss then, short quick and powerful before she rose to her feet

He kissed her back, before mocving to stand up. That I know... and you never complain about it. Sliping his arms around her from behind. Besides.. we both know.. that you are getting like all the other women we know.. Easy to get all riled up.

she shook her head
you just know all the right buttons to push.. to make me riled up. looking over her shoulder at him

and he kissed her cheek. True but I always cool you down. Now kissing her neck, as it looked like he was tryign to rile her up more.

she smiled and relaxed in to his kisses along her neckyour good at both. And you distracted me more distracted now.

Is that why I always have to patch you up when we work together? More kisses along her neck, before trailing up to her lips.

she snickered You dont have to patch me up, I can do it myself you know, you like playing doctor I think

That I do slowly turning her to face him, before kissing her softly on the lips.

she returned that kiss I came out here to train a bit not pounce you, so dont tempt me.. she pressed another kiss in temptor

he grinned and kissed her again. Then go train. Pulling her in a little closer.

she smirkedhmmm but I like it right here pressing her hand to his shoulder but I should train..oh what to do what to do

Very well. Another kiss to her lips, so adding a touch of that demonic fire in it, then pulled away fro her. As he moved towards the cottage.

she pouted and licked her lips at that touch of fire he added to his kiss you can stay you know... you dont have to go. But if im so out of shape like you say then I wont be much good back in the game.. she was watching him walk off dark brows risen

He nodded and turned to walk back to the tree, as he placed his hands behind his head. Shifting to give her the best view possible.

She smirked at him, then shook ehr head, focus hera! she told herself. Then she faced a touch away from him, so she wouldnt be tempted to watch him as she streched out

He smirked as he watched her. then pointed a finger at her. Sends a nice innocent pulse of fire into her.

She looked back at him and snickered as she streched out before going through the motions of shadow boxing.Tease said aside

Always. Watching her shadow boxing with a smirk.

she snickered as she kicked and punched and flipped forward and back ward with ease,out of shape, pffft

and he slipped away from the tree, to slip up behind her. Aimming swats at her nice firm rump. Just to throw her off.

And he got the swat in but it didnt throw her off she turned and aimed a high kick at him it went above his head, she wasnt really aiming to kick him your very bad a little mock stalk after him

he smirked and he threw a pucnh at her, easily missing to the side. You love it when I spank you.

she snickered and smirkedyes watching his punch go wide like her kick had gone high I am far from out of shape as you see stalk stalk wanna take me on a risen brow and a flare in her eyes

Sure. Moving a arm behind his back. I'll even use one hand. Oh he was being that cocky demon now.

she shrugged cocky arent we she started to cirlce to his left thats fine with me, use only one hand

He grinned to her. What's at stake? Moving to keep her within his line of sight.

she thought about it you can name the stakes if you like she watched him now, ready for his brand of fighting.

Loser has to do whatever the winner wants. Grinnign at her.

Very well she nodded and stood very still far off to his left now, she knew he would win, he was faster than she was, he had always been but she was getting better

And he charged her, aimming and oddly poorly aimmed punch.
was he just trying to mess with her, aiming that blady aimed punch that she dodged with little effort even kicking him in the back side as she did .

And he over played the boot.. as he face planted in the ground. He then rolle dover slowly. That hurt. Pouting up at her.

she shook her head yeah right she looked at him not quite over him just to the right come on fight for real, dont spare anything

He moved to stand up. Oh alright. This time he done as she asked, sparing seriously now, but holding back just enough to help her get beter.

she smirked as now at least he wasnt trying to make ehr win, she liked it more when he spared fairly, though he took it slow still so she would learn, and learning was always good


True, but as she got better, she was making him learn as well. Win win situation.

she was tired and laying on ehr back by the end of the spare session and as awlays he won, with his mix of magic and fighting style, it was no wonder he was better he had ages of good teaches. leats this time no blood she smirked softly, no wepaons meant usually no blood on either part but there had been times where a ose or lip would bleed. punk she lay there wishing she had two tons of ice burning so hot

he smirked smirked down at her as he place a bare foot to her chest. I might be a punk, but you love me.

she smirked up at him yes I do.. she didnt move he had won and he knew it you win, im tired and hot and your still better than me...demon a long breath

"Hera," There was that blank silver stare of the mage. Hera just leaned to the wall, mid escape. "Hey Shea, whats up?" Oh tightly wond one, oh stick up the... one.Hera would have said. Shea just starred at her.

"I know you know something.."

"If you mean I know where they went, I don't.Lang didnt tell me, so I assume its dangerous.But I am not worryed, he can handle himself and so can Victor, you dont see V asking us all where they went, and Rune just came back to her.. Victor will be. And until he comes back why not go tend to Mina, see your son, and try not to have such a stick up your..." There was that cocky side.

Shea stepped closer, eyes glowing bright silver. "You know nothing.." Hera shook ehr head, "Nope.." Sheas eyes flared brighter , then got errie and dark and she stalked off with out a word. Hera felt ehr skin crawl a little. "Yikes.."
