Power of the Emerald Moon
Grabbing the nearby bar of soap she ducked underwater, then lathered her hair into soapy suds, letting it clean away the dirt and debris that had stationed itself there since her horrid attack. Closing her eyes and sinking down further into the tub, she let the warm water work on her tense muscles some more as she thought to herself. Never before had any humans been so kind to her.. Looked like a human, she did, but inside she was more.. Yet in only one place was this known, then she had been taken away.. yet again.. Would she ever find a place she could call home? She let the thought subside as she sat up and finished washing the rest of her body with the soap. Within ten minutes she had gotten out of the tub and dried herself off, changing into the soft white night gown that had been given to her. She sighed in relief to finally feel clean again, as well with the tension gone from her body she stretched, then scooped up the ruined clothing she had worn previously. Looking down at the clothing in her hands she herself wondered how she’d survived such an attack.. ‘Time to go back to my room..” she murmured “I only hope I am not deceived once again..”
Glenn stood alone in his room pondering over a thought, he had removed his armour and weapons and now wore a comfortable cream coloured shirt and brown breeches. Now, moving more freely without the excess weight weighing him down he muttered to himself, “I know Dario said he would update be tomorrow on the woman’s health.. But...” The paladin sighed, usually he was quite patient with matters, but this case was different, not able to halt his thoughts of the damsel, inside he wanted to burst as the many could-be situations played through his mind. With that he fell to the wonder and started on his way to the next door. Although in the process he had not been looking where he’d been going and bumped into a small figure before him without thinking the swordsman grabbed for the small hand of the body and pulled the fragile being to hug against his torso. In response she gasped out “ooh!” her head lying against his solidly built chest, her body stiff within his arms. Obviously a female, Glenn stood her up and looked over her as he apologized, “ Are you alright Miss? I am sorry, I was not watching where I was going..” he blurted out.
“Y-Yes, I-I am fine thank you, I too was not paying much attention..” she whispered while hugging herself.
The sandy haired male looked upon the female figure, her beauty was breathtaking, warm green eyes shone up at him, flawless creamy skin, deep pink pouting lips, and chestnut hair that fell down over her shoulders in wet stands. Clothed in a white nighty of some sort she held a bloody rag in her arms, it was then he realised who she was.
“A-Are you alright Sir? You have become mute all of sudden..” The girl squeaked out as she gazed up at him. His face reflected vibes of kindness and warmth, his grey-blue eyes soothed her some how, and she almost yearned for him to pull her back against his solid yet wiry frame.
“Oh yes.. I’m sorry, I am quite alright. You.. you are the young woman who we brought in from Fossil Valley, “ questioned Glenn as he focussed upon the woman’s eyes.
“That I am Sir, Riddel told me that two men had brought me here to this manor, I am assuming you would be one of the two?” she asked while releasing herself from her own tight grasp, now seemingly more comfortable.
The knight before her nodded, “ Yes, please call me Glenn, the other man who accompanied me was Norris.”
“Please call me Thea, as well, I give you my deepest appreciation, for if you two had not come..”
“Milady it is Miss Riddel whom deserves the most thanks..”
“Yes, well I have already given my thanks to Riddel, but you too I must thank, as well as that other Sir whom I shall attend to tomorrow.”
Glenn nodded in agreement, “Very well.. Also, I was wondering if-”
Thea interrupted, “if you do not mind, would it not be easy to go to my room? It seems as though you have questions to ask me, and standing the hall is quite awkward, non the less cold in a such attire as this.”
Glenn blushed slightly in response and followed the maiden into her room.
“Well that is a miracle if I’ve never seen one myself!” Dario dramatically expressed as he looked upon his wife who was filled with joy. More than anything he was relieved that she would not have mourn over any deaths.
“She told me a little about her,” Riddel explained, “She seems to be quite intelligent, but I sought now was not the time to be quizzing the girl, after she herself almost lost her very life.”
Dario smiled and without warning scooped up Riddel in his arms, as he peered into her face, she gazed back with heartfelt brown eyes, “ Your father approves of her staying at the Manor for as long as she wishes.. But now, let us change the subject.”
Riddel looked on at her lover, his piercing blue eyes, full of passion, and she nodded, agreeing with his proposal, “I shall meet with her tomorrow morning for a tour after breakfast.”
“Good then..” Dario replied with a seductive tone as he laid his wife on their bed, still smiling at her.
Riddel loved the way he made her want to melt, so passionate he was, and at the same time loved her more than the world itself, and she of course felt the same towards him. Brushing her hand through his golden hair she pulled him closer, bringing them into a sensual kiss, her blue lips nibbling slightly at his detailed mouth.
Dario intensifying her subtle moves, moved her over and climbed onto the bed next to her, brushing back her shining locks and crushing his mouth against hers. Running her hands down his sides she tugged at the white shirt he wore, undoing each button up the front and running her petite hands over his hard chest. He loved her delicate touch, and yearned to be one with her once again, pulling back he looked down at the site before him, “the body of an angel” he whispered, “oh how I love you.”and with that he lifted her up a bit, unzipping her dress and pulled it off her impeccable body. She was small, almost fragile, but had proportioned curves and silky skin, to him she was irresistible, and in return she as well pledged her love to him once again. Now he could feel her hands tugging at his shirt, and soon it was off and somewhere on the floor along with her dress. As the Deva kissed along his wife’s neck he could hear her moan at his calm and alluring touch, down his sides he felt her hands move, unbuttoning the black breeches he wore. Having no patience to wait any longer to have her, he wanted her so much, he aided her in removing his pants. Already their bodies and minds were into the moment, and as bodies crushed together, flesh meeting flesh, the two sunk further into the mattress, fulfilling each others dreams.
Thea awoke to find herself in bed covered with several quilts, she looked around the room, only to come to the conclusion that she as alone. Sadly she sighed, she had hoped to find Glenn still present in her room, keeping her company. She remembered that the previous night, after their rendevous in the hall, the two had gone into her room, which was next to his. He had asked a few basic questions, but obviously she had fallen asleep much to soon for him to learn much, not that she was surprised, she had been exhausted from the day’s events and had very little energy any how. Although Thea still wondered when Glenn had left.. “He must have been the one to put me to bed.. We were both sitting in chairs..” She smiled at the thought of his hugging her too his body and putting her to bed, caring for her like a mate. The brunette shook her head as a frown crept across her face, “ what am I thinking.. he probably pity’s me is all.. Ugh, I need to get a hold of myself, falling in love with someone whom does feel the same will only get me hurt..” Pushing the covers off herself and rising to her feet, she sauntered over to the bureau and looked at herself in the mirror, her appearance seemed fine, except her hair was a bit ruffled from her slumber. Searching the drawers of the solid oak bureau she quickly found a hairbrush and began to untangle her lustrous copper coloured hair. As she set the brush on the top of the dresser, the dress to her left caught her eye, and she decided it was time to change. Slipping the white night gown off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor, she stepped out of it and pulled the wine dress over her curvy figure. “ It fits!” she exclaimed while looking at herself in the mirror as she zippered it up the back. Strapless, and pure wine the dress hung to the floor, across her breasts where it started, and at her feet where it ended, there was black trim along both. Form fitting with a bit of elasticity, the dress hugged to her tightly, a slit ran from the floor to the midst of her left thigh and Thea admired herself in the mirror. Just then there was a knock against her door, “come in!” Thea called wondering whom had come to visit her, and deep inside silently yearning, desiring for it to be Glenn. As the door opened Riddel walked in, a smile creeping across her face, as she greeted and walked up to give Thea a hug. Her visitor was not Glenn, but Thea let her disappointment quicky dissipated as she was glad to see her other newly made friend. “How are you this morning, did you sleep well?” questioned the maiden of the house to her guest.
“I am quite well thank you, and yes I slept very well last night, I cannot even remember falling asleep as I was talking to Glenn last night then woke up here not long ago..” she trailed off.
“..Glenn? Oh, so you’ve met him have you?” questioned Riddel with her head to one side, a grin upon her face.
“Y-yes.. He is very kind, we bumped into each other last night, and like you he was quite curious...” Thea explained in soft words, blushing a little.
“Understandable then,” the blue haired girl nodded, then changed subjects as not to embarrass the young girl “ I assume the dress fits fine?”
“Oh yes very well thank you! A wonderful colour and design as well!” expressed the green eyed girl excitedly.
“Good then, consider it yours, as well as the white night gown,” then Riddel handed Thea a package which she’d been holding in her arms, “ this too is for you,” said Riddel as she smiled and handed the beauty before her the gift. Riddel was not sure what is was about this woman, but already she felt so close to her, as though the maiden was a long lost sister and they’d finally been reunited.
Opening the gift Thea found inside another dress and a pair of shoes, the dress was the exact replica of the one she currently wore, except instead of wine, a deep green, quite close to the colour of pine tree needles. Laying the parcel on the bed Thea quicky took the sandals out of the box as well and slid them upon her feet, brown leather, and quite stylish with their various straps, she found then quite comfortable. Then to Riddel’s surprise the young woman whom was full of glee and obviously appreciated the gifts, threw herself at the Lady of the Manor and brought them into a hug once again. As a surprise the new house member started to weep, tears running down her face as she clung to Riddel and repeated her gratefulness over and over again, in response Riddel pulled the young girl closer and stroked her hair, “why my dear it is no problem at all, but please you do not need to weep over such, my family is quite wealthy this is no burden to me at all-“
Thea interrupted, pulling back from her new found friend, “It is not the gifts, even though I like them very much,’ She sniffed, wiping away some of her tears, “it is the fact that you show such kindness toward me, even though I am so new in your life... I... I have not been treated like this in so long..” she trailed off as she wiped again at her tears.
“Well dear.. You are like a sister to me now, you shall stay at this Manor as long as you like, I do hope you plan to stay awhile as already I have become attached to you. Do get used to such kindness, I’m sure everyone else in this Manor shall treat you the same.”
Thea nodded with understanding and looked at the woman before her, she could see more clearly the beauty Riddel held, as well as compassion and kindness. Long silky blue hair hung down her back, a snake formation upon her head held the locks away from her face. A form fitting vibrant green dress wrapped itself around her angelic like body, and her deep sienna eyes held trust and warmth. The eyes of the people whom she’d met so far, Riddel and Glenn, both held the same affectionate gaze which soothed her worries, and already Thea too found herself becoming attached to those she hardly knew.
“We have already had breakfast, but thought best not to wake you, would you like to eat now, or wait until dinner and go on our tour instead?”
Not feeling the least bit famished Thea opted for the tour, and the two women set out.
