Fire and the Sword

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena was overjoyed at his realization. Without thinking, she kissed his lips softly. It burned, but it was like hot soup on your lips, pleasure and pain together. She would not let him go. He had to be the one to break an embrace. She would never let him think he could scare her away.

Her mind clouded. She felt that Athenia was trying to communicate with her, but the message was unclear.

 

[Lethe]

Adaon had been going to put her gently aside, tell her to get some sleep. It was too dangerous. But her kiss...

He kissed her back, almost fiercely clasping on to her and holding her head back. Her lips tasted cool on his, and he burned for more. At last, the kiss was broken, both gasping for air.

'This... this is not wise', said Adaon unsteadily

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

"I will leave if you want me to, Aadon." I smiled at him softly. "But I will not leave me if you do not ask. I will do as you wish me to do, and only that."

She wanted something she had never wanted before, never had...the touch of a man. She wondered if Athenia would disapprove.

 

[Lethe]

Adaon

Adaon's hand ran down her leg, smoothing out the creases in the material. He did not want to look at her, fearing the temptation would be too great. He was shaking.

'If you... stayed here, I could hurt you beyond belief. My... power, my curse, I don't think I can control it'

He looked at her side-long, and almost felt ready to take her there and then, and damn the consequences

 

[soliloquy]

Delilah

"Perhaps," she spoke tenderly, not wanting to anger him, "we should go talk to Athenia. Maybe she can help you to not hurt me, to not hurt her. Please, Aadon. I know she isn't sleeping. She could help you."

I feared going to Athenia. Perhaps she would want him for herself, or even more frightening, would want him more than she wanted me.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia immediately creeped down the stairs and sat on the couch. She did not want to be caught listening outside the door to the guest room. She could not lose trust from Helena.

She sipped her wine and tried to look casual, incase they came down the stairs to talk to her about Adaon's fire problem.

 

[Lethe]

Adaon

Adaon kissed her forehead again, this time slowly, moving his lips across her head.

'I need time to think. All my life, thinking mages evil...'

He smiled. 'Too many new ideas. I could never control my curse at this moment. It would be ill for both of us. I need to rest. I promise you we'll speak of this again'

He smiled a little sadly at her, and pushed her towards the door before his resolve broke.


OOC: heh, sorry, but I've really got to go sleep now It was great rping with you, and I look forward to resuming with you tommorow In the meantime... well, I think Beach Chick's still around...

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena smiled at him as she left the room. She walked downstairs to find Athenia sipping her beverage. "Athenia, I know I have disappointed you today, and I will take my punishment--as it is deserved. But the man in that room desperately needs your help."

She looked to Athenia hoping against hope. Suddenly awakened by Aadon's touch, she realized how truly glowing Athenia was. She blushed at the thought of her teacher in that manner. She awaited an answer patiently, kneeling at Athenia's feet.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia motioned for Helena to sit down. "I believe you have learned your lesson already," she said quietly. "Would you like something to drink?" Athenia asked her.

Athenia sipped her wine a bit more, and then stared at Helena, seeing a new side to her...a more...attractive side. She blushed to herself and asked kindly, "How can I help this man?"

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena quickly told Athenia of Aadon's delimma. She spoke quickly, passionately. "I felt the heat rise in him, Athenia. It is like a fire which flares and extinguishes without control. His life is so lonely."

Helena hadn't realized that she was now sitting very close to Athenia as she begged. She bowed her head and stood to sit at her feet again. Her father had always said a student's head should never be higher than the teacher's.

Suddenly, the room felt warm again. Aadon was upstairs...The heat was in Helena. A passion had been aroused in her, and she had no idea what to do with the swirling cloud of emotions.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

"I see..." Athenia said as she spoke of his problem. "I don't know that I can do much," she said softly. "Did you want a drink?" She asked Helena kindly. Athenia looked at Helena with passion and stroked her jaw softly.

Athenia told her, "I will do as much as I can, I promise."

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena took the proffered drink, and sipped at it, licking the sweetness from her lips. There was something new in the way Athenia looked at her, something that made her body tingle with excitement.

"Please, Athenia, you must be able to do something." She sniffed a little, and drew her hands down her thighs as she began to teeter between excitement and sadness. She thought of Aadon's touch, and thought of Athenia's. So different, yet the thought of Athenia's touch evoked as much as Aadon's actual touch did.

She was a very confused girl. She looked to Athenia for answers.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia drew Helena up to the couch and hugged her. "Don't be upset, I'll find a way to help him, I promise." Athenia felt excitement with Helena in her arms. A feeling of passion that she had not felt in years and years. She never wanted to let go of her.

She wondered to herself how Helena was feeling. She was too cought up in the moment to try to channel her thoughts and see if she could sense it.

Athenia wanted to comfort Helena, and wondered if Adaon was asleep already.

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena's body shuddered at the contact. She clung to Athenia tightly. Now that Aadon would be helped, she only needed to know one more thing before her mind would be at ease.

"Athenia," she began hesitantly, "do you care for me?"

She couldn't believe she had uttered the words, but there they were, unable to take them back. She was staring into Athenia's beautiful eyes, their lips so close together.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia stares into Helena's lovely eyes with passion. "Of course I care for you honey, I thought you knew that already." Athenia wanted her to know how much she cared for her. She stared deep into her eyes, with her lips less than an inch from Helena's.

Athenia wanted to kiss her, but she was scared. She had not kissed anyone out of passion in a very long time, and she didn't know if Helena would return her feelings.

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena, frightened, but more impetuous than Athenia, leaned in to bridge the gap. She pressed her lips against Athenia's feeling like she was kissing the skies. Such simple contact, such emotion. Helena did not understand the raging in her body, but she wanted to...very much.

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia returned the kiss passionately. She was very relieved that Helena cared for her as she did for Helena. She rubbed Helena's back softly, hoping to relax the young girl. Athenia slowly moved one hand down Helena's back.

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena drew kiss after kiss from Athenia as she caressed her slender back. She was innocent in the ways of love and passion, but her body was taking over. She whispered, "Athenia, I think I love you." She trembled and held Athenia closer, as she returned for another kiss.

Athenia's tongue slipped into her mouth and Helena reeled. Could such pleasure be real? Or was it Athenia's magic?

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia smiled at her when she said she loved Athenia. Athenia's tongue explored Helena's mouth tenderly. She slowly caressed Helena's thighs as she felt more and more excitement.

She wondered if Adaon was asleep, and secretly wished that he would catch them in the act.

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena moaned against Athenia's mouth. Her small breasts ached, and unknowingly, she rubbed them against Athenia's body. A sensation shot through her body to her thighs and mound. She sighed as Athenia kissed her neck. She wanted more, but what more?

 

[Beach Chick]

Athenia

Athenia was having the time of her life with Helena but she wished in her heart that Adaon would join them. She stroked Helena's thighs gently and kissed her neck. She layed Helena down on the couch and layed on top of her and kissed her deeply.

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

Helena was enjoying the pleasures of Athenia's kisses and touches, moaning a bit louder than she should, she guessed. She turned her head, and saw Aadon watching them. She suddenly felt like a betrayer. She looked away, thinking..."what will he think of me now?"

 

[Lethe]

Adaon

Adaon was in tumult, the fires in him blazing. He stared at the floor, wondering if he'd been wrong, if all that Helena and Athenia had made him feel had been some cruel, mage's jest. And then he wondered, for a moment, if this was how a witch-hunter felt.

Couldn't Helena love more than one person? Adaon was aware of a slight feeling of guilt in his attraction to Athenia. Couldn't he? He paced forwards, eyes wary on the two embracing, but not hostile, not angry anymore

 

[soliloquy]

Helena

"Come and join us, Aadon," Helena dared. She felt that she was being opened to a world of desire and sensuality, and longed for more. She bared her breasts at Athenia's request, and looked to Aadon, hoping he would not find this too base, too wanton. "Please," she whispered as Athenia's mouth descended on her upturned nipple.

 

[Lethe]

Adaon

Helena's shirt was slowly pushed back, revealing more of her small, round breasts. Her call to Adaon was almost a moan as Athenia sucked on the nipples. The mageling too looked up, eyes a mixture of invitation and desire.

Adaon slowly made up his mind, and approached the two tangled women, his fingers busily unbuckling his black armour and letting it fall, piece by piece to the ground.

'I will try not to burn', he said, smiling softly at Helena
