Dangerous Duets ~ Incubus and his Muse (Closed for Veroe)

[Asa]

I will say this you are in for a fae culture shock. Believe me and I personally can't wait to see it.

With that she kissed his cheek softly and let him enjoy watching the clouds and everything holding his hand.

A quick couple of texts when they were close and she smiled. A car will be waiting for us to take us to where I stay when I travelled here before and the guys know we will meet them tomorrow at the studio.

The plane was cruising across the sky and Canaan marveled at the sight of the clouds out of the plane's windows as they flew by. He held her hand through it all amazed as their adventure overseas truly begun. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for giving me the courage to do this."

"I will say this. You are in for a fae culture shock." She replied with a warm kiss on his cheek. "Believe me, and I personally can't wait to see it."

It took several hours cruising above the clouds over an ocean of blue, but Canaan was free at least for this moment and he found himself enjoying it. He ate the peanuts the stewardess, watched a movie with her, holding her hand all the way. It was mundane, but amazing.

However it was over all too soon.

They were over land now and she got a text that they'd have a car waiting for them. When the plane landed they disembarked together hand in hand. They got their luggage and found the car waiting for them. "Just where are we going, love?"

 

[Asa]

She spoke briefly to the driver and smiled to Cannan
We will be staying in an old Mansion just outside of town its owned by a vampire and an angel. They have been married for the better part of.. 600 years now.

She waited till it sank in with Cannan that light and dark fae were married and had been for a very long time.

They turned his old family.estate into a b&b for our kinds not long after their marriage.

We will be stopping on our way there at a Cafe run by a Satyr and a deathspeaker. Believe it or not the deathspeaker is an amazing cook... especially desserts.

The driver looked through the rear view mirror and raised a brow.

They are... still separate where your love is from Karena?

Yeah that's a major understatement Luis but it's home for now so it is what it is.

She shrugged.

You could always talk the dragon into going back with you... he could set them all straight.

They were over land now and she got a text that they'd have a car waiting for them. When the plane landed they disembarked together hand in hand. They got their luggage and found the car waiting for them. "Just where are we going, love?"

"We will be staying in an old Mansion just outside of town its owned by a vampire and an angel. They have been married for the better part of.. 600 years now." She replied getting into the car.

He followed into the back seat after her. "Seriously? A Vampire and an Angel together? How did the Light and Dark Fey elders even allow that to occur?"

"They turned his old family estate into a b&b for our kinds not long after their marriage." She explained as the driver made their way through the busy streets of a metropolis in a whole different country. Canaan smiled to her but was glued to the windows looking out at all the Spaniards there. "We will be stopping on our way there at a Cafe run by a Satyr and a deathspeaker. Believe it or not the deathspeaker is an amazing cook... especially desserts."

"A Deathspeaker and a Satyr, running a business together?" He asked incredulously, "Very funny, Karena. Now you're just pulling my leg, aren't you?"

"They are... still separate where your love is from Karena?" The driver cut off her response smiling back at them in the rearview mirror.

"Yeah, that's a major understatement Luis but it's home for now so it is what it is." Karena smiled back at the driver and shrugged, "You could always talk the dragon into going back with you... he could set them all straight."

They pulled up to a little cafe on the side of a little street and piled out of the car. Canaan was stunned seeing the patrons in the cafe. He saw a Siren and a Skinwalker sharing Espressos over a chess game at their table. A faunand Leprechaun laughed uproariously at the punchline of a Medusa's joke. A Werewolf was making Capuchinos for a Gorgon as a Lamia took his money. This level of amicable intermingling between Fey of both light and dark were utterly unheard of back home. Even in the badlands or Audra's bar where members of the two factions could interact on neutral ground this sort of fraternization though was completely foreign. It was like there were no factions, no tensions, no possible war that could compel them to consider their neighbors direst of enemies at any second.

"Karena," He said in awe looking at the people as they drank and laughed and relaxed together. "You weren't joking at all were you?" He pointed to a Dryad and Banshee child playing with toys as their parents chatted good-naturedly over hot coffee. "These people don't know they're supposed to hate eachother, do they?"

 

[Asa]

No... they don't. They were never taught to hate each other. They live how they always have. How some ancient royal always strive for. What the councils of old back home tried to do.

Karena smiled to him.as they got their order and an elderly Avian shifter hobbled over to them.

Karena... you have found him... strong one... much like the water soul... this is good. The venomous one cannot win now...
And with that he hobbled away as Karena watched him a puzzled look filling her eyes.

"Karena," He said in awe looking at the people as they drank and laughed and relaxed together. "You weren't joking at all were you?" He pointed to a Dryad and Banshee child playing with toys as their parents chatted good-naturedly over hot coffee. "These people don't know they're supposed to hate each other, do they?"

'"No, they don't," She replied, "They were never taught to hate each other. They live how they always have. How some ancient royal always strive for. What the councils of old tried to do."

They stepped inside the building, Canaan still looking bewildered at the sheer variety of impossible pairings he saw sitting and sharing a good cup to start their day with comrades. "It's so....unreal. How, can this be?"

An ancient were-swallow hobbled up over to them and said something in Spanish to Karena after they had received their own coffee orders and moving over to an open table. "What was that about?"

 

[Asa]

Like I said... your region of the world is kinda an anomaly... most of the rest of the world of Fae is... like this.

She listened.to the old man and then quickly moved over to a table near them

Allecia... how lucid has your grandfather been lately? Or how...

He has been expecting you and the other half of the prophecy against someone he calls venomous one to show up... according to him you are late.

She looked to Cannan... we may be able to get more answers here about our shared dreams. In the form of some prophecy...

Karena looked at her coffee...

I'm gonna need something alot stronger.
