The City Time Forgot

[CyrusBlack]

Talen

Talen had stood in the garden below, watching the kiss that Ariana and Mirus had shared. He wasn't surprised, he'd suspected something deeper than friendship between the two for a long time.

Still, he didn't like it anymore than he ever had. He worried for his little cousin. She might be his queen, but he was still the only family she had left. Would the council ever approve of this? It was their decision as to who she may or may not marry.

It was a stupid concern. Mirus was a good man, well respected by all. Certainly their would be no problems for them.

He turned away to give the lovers the privacy they both deserved and began his trek through the city once more. He was restless tonight. Home had brought him no peace and so instead he simply roamed the city that he loved.

*He managed a small smile over to her and returned his gaze skyward*

They're not this bright and beautiful...Except maybe in the forests when the moon is full on a cool, clear winters night...then and only then are they ever like this....

*he sighs softly, and wraps his arms around his knees and continues to stare skyward*

Im Shawn...Shawn Williams...What about you miss???

*He looked towards her with his soft, emerald eyes*

Mirus

In all the time he had known Ariana, Mirus had never imagined anything like this.

She kneeled before him, her soft hand caressing the purple head of his shaft. He shivered at her touch, moaning quietly as her fingers wrapped around his cock. Smiling up at him, Ariana began to stroke him slowly, her hand gliding back and forth along its length.

"Oh, Ariana..."

Without another word, she began to lick him. Her wet tongue slid over the throbbing crown, lapping up the first drops of pre-cum. Mirus hissed in ecstasy as she licked around the bottom of his cock, slowly working down the shaft. All the while, her hand continued jerking him. With her other hand, she fondled his balls. Teasing him with her fingertips, she lightly stroked the sac.

Mirus groaned as she made her way back up the length of his meat. When she finally reached the head, she took it between her lips and sucked gently. It was almost too much for him; he felt his knees weaken, and he thrust his hips reflexively.

Spurred on by his reaction, Ariana began to suck him more forcefully. Her hands went to his thighs, pulling him closer. As his cock slid across her tongue, she gazed up at him. Their eyes met, and she felt a rush of excitement from the look of delight on his face.

With her gaze locked on his own, Ariana began to increase her pace. Mirus moaned, his hands resting on her head. His fingers began to stroke her long hair gently, as if afraid of hurting her. He closed his eyes and threw his head back, enjoying the feel of her mouth on him.

Maleena

"Shawn Williams," Maleena repeated the name softly. It was a rather odd odd thing to be called. She realized that he had asked her own name and smiled at him. "I am called Maleena."

Tilting her head to the side, she studied him quietly. He seemed like a normal man, no different than her own brothers. His skin was a bit lighter than she'd ever seen, but he didn't seem like the terrible creature her father had said those from beyond the city wall were.

She'd alwasy wanted to travel with the traders, but her parents had forbidden it. It was too dangerous, they said. But still, she dreamed of what the world was like.

"Tell me about your home?" She asked him as she folded her legs under her and made herself comfortable. It seemed as if she was prepared to be here for awhile.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*he Smiles wanly, he had dark, Ravenblack hair that was almost as long as his waist, it was a bit unkempt, And pulled back in a long braided pony tail, His skin WAS rather fair, Pale, and almost luminescent in the moonlight, he stared skyward*

My Home?? As in My Hometown?? Well....I Dont remember much of that place, I Remember having to run really fast because some men came for my dad...and My mom and Dad said I Should just run and someday they'd find me..*he sighs* They havent found me yet....I guess I gave up years ago....

The last TOwn I was at...Porta Vista...Nice place, If you've got money...But We didnt, so we...as in me and Good Ol Falkner....We scraped along till Your caravan rode into town...well, Scince you people had always seemed to never be short on cash, we hitched a ride, figurin we could get a job here or somthin...

But Now.....
*he sighs a little happily and smiles over at her*
I Dunno what now...

ooc: *Compels the thread to live* WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!

Sabriel - Goddess

Sabriel watched the newcomer as he walked around the common then sat under a tree. She was about to approach him when she saw Maleena walking along the outer edge of the common. Sabriel scowled when Sean spotted her and invited her to sit beside him. She'd have to have her fun later. She turned quickly and walked away, her form hidden by the forest shadows.

Sabriel didn't really have any place to go. The forest was her home, the animals her friends. As she walked along the paths, worn by many feet, Sabriel reached into ther pocket and unrolled the pachment. The markings were stranger to her and she turned the thin paper around in her hands, trying to make sense of it all. A rustle in the bush made Sabriel stop. She looked towards the sound and a squirl ran from the bush to a nearby tree. She smiled and she brought her mind back to the parchment. If she had only stared for a few moments longer, perhaps she would have seen the eyes that were watching her.

Falkner Hazzard

Ooc: I was gonna do it.....
ic:

*He had seen her watching shawn, his carefull eyes had followed her, his eyes glowed almost in the darkness, she had thier list, he watched her for a long time, ignoring even the squirell, she was so beautiful, he didnt know what to make of her, Except that THIS Must be one of those godesses...He watched her closely, as curious as she might have watched him, them, summoning up every iota of his courage, he stepped out* Miss?? *He spoke softly, his rich, tenor like voice ringing even clearer in the night, his eyes softened as she leaped And turned about abruptly*

 

[Dea Artia]

Sabriel - Goddess

Sabriel turned around with a sharp cry, the parchment droping to the ground. She hadn't realized someone was watching her, and she felt foolish that she had allowed someone to see her. When she saw it was one of the strange men who had come with the traders, the harshness faded from her eyes and she smiled. Before he could notice, Sabriel reached down, took the parchment, and put it back in a pocket.

Sabriel reached out her hand to the man, and when he took it in his own, she felt a rush of warmth and awe. Smiling again, Sabriel drew him near to her. She placed her head beside his, breathing in his scent. Her lips brushed lightly accross his cheek, his neck and his lips. She felt his other hand reach around her waist and he pulled her towards him. Their lips met in a firery kiss, and Sabriel thought the whole forest was ablaze.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*Falkner could scarcely belive it..here he was.....she was kissing him...her.....a goddess...Was kissing him, it was nearly too much for the young, handsome man, he held her there in that firey kiss, and didnt care what was going on around him, All he knew was the kiss.....and her...whoever she was......He held her a little closer, almost childlike, sinking into the deep, loving kiss*

 

[Dea Artia]

Sabriel - Goddess

Never before had she felt such longing in a mans kiss. She yearned for something more, yet she knew even this kiss was forbiden. Sabriel pulled away from his grasp, and took a deep breath. Her face and neck were glistening like morning dew. Her heart was beating like wild horses running free in a field.

"Falkner." She whispered his name, and he reached out his hands to draw her to him again but she stepped back, afraid that if she allowed him to touch her, she would give herself to him completly this time. He looked hurt, but understanding. Sabriel took out the parchment and placed it in his hands just before she vanished in a flash of light and color.

the Wild

Its head slowly turned, stretching its senses deep into the surrounding forest. Something had woken it, a subtle hint that something was amiss. It rose on its haunches, nose high as it tasted the wind. The source was elusive, it wasn't even sure which sense had been jarred. Everything seemed normal now; all that remained was a flickering doubt. After a few moments that doubt faded too, and it slowly curled around the stump again.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*As he clutched the parchment in his hands he found he couldnt move, or rather, he didnt want to move, he sunk to his knees in the moonlit clearing, and stared at it, somthing rolled on his tounge, he didnt know precisely where it came from...but it came out..*

Sabriel....

*and he wept for a moment, out of sadness, wishing he knew where to find her again, then composing himself he slowly trudged off through the forests, alone and lonely..*

 

[Savage Dandelion]

Femi, the healer.

This night seemed to be filled with lovers; Femi had walked upon none other than the Queen and Mirus in a lovers embrace with someone else watching them too, another couple to couple too caught up in a kiss to notice her, and yet another couple who seemed to be happy to talk the night away. She couldn't hold back her little sigh of envy. She knew that such would never happen to her; she would probably die a lonely old woman.

Femi's hands went to touch her face, "Why can I heal everyone else but not myself?" She let out another little sad sigh of defeat. It did no good to curse old flaws. She was happy with her life, or so she told herself. "Children and husbands are for other women, not for you." She couldn't stop the silvery tears that ran down her marred face, and she stopped were she was to think over her fate. It just wasn't fair!

OOC: Hope this is okay. If not, let me know.

Selene

Selene ran, ran for all she was worth, tears streaming down her face and hiccuping sobs catching in her chest. Her chestnut hair and silver gown streamed behind her as she fled. There was death here ... here in the city that she had known all her life, here in the city protected by the gods. In all of her 24 years, Selene had never felt such raw fear. There was no death in Bah'Lin, no disease to speak of, save the occasional wheeze or broken bone, and even then Femi was always there to help ease the pain and help heal.

Behind her, across the glen and through the thickening fog, lay a body. Cold. Unmoving. And covered in blood.

The day had started out like any other, she had spent her morning bathing naked in the clear spring, preparing for the trader's return, anxious to hear anything about the outside world. Femi had shown her how to pull scented oils from the large, dark leafed plants in the surrounding forest ... had shown her how rubbing the oils upon her skin would soften, scent, and create a soft glow to her flesh. She adored these woods, this land that was so rich, and all it had to offer. She was not above admitting, however, that she was fascinated by the outside world, having never ventured outside Bah'Lin. She hoped to get a chance to question any or all of the traders on what they had seen. She had paused on her way into town to provide a small offering for the Wild, just as she always did when traveling through his domain. Though she had never seen him, she felt his presence, and respected him for the protection he provided.

As she set her offering of herbs and fruits on a decaying tree stump, her eyes had caught on what she thought was a dark pile of decaying leaves ... stepping closer, she had tripped over a pale hand ....

And now? Now she knew nothing except a black pit of shadow in her soul, a growing evil that shook her to her very bones. She stumbled, feeling her silver gown tear just a bit as she went down hard on her knees. Her palms were scraped from the cobblestones, but just as quickly she regained her feet and continued her flight.

Her chest hurting, her breath coming in short ragged gasps, she rounded a corner and plowed into a warm solid wall of male chest. Two hands held her upper arms in a vise-like grip and Selene vaguely realized she was shaking uncontrollably. She lifted her eyes and found a stranger, a man she did not recognize staring back at her, his brow furrowed. His face was firm, set in confusion, but she detected no hostility there. He was silent a moment, studying her face as if he could read her thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

It was her undoing, just the deep tone of concern, the strong frame supporting her. She collapsed against him, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck, her face burying into his shoulder to sob in relief. Praise to the gods, his arms finally went around her, pressing her tightly against him. Surely he would keep her safe from whatever demon was plaguing the western woods!!

Ariana

OOC: I'm back!Sorry, I've been away on vacation.

IC:

She might never have pleasured a man, but what Ariana didn't know by experience, she knew by heart. Each gasp and sound of satisfaction that came from Mirus, brought her as much delight as it did he.

Her own body burned with each pass of her tongue across him. She would never have imagined it would feel so good to take him in her mouth. No, it wasn't just his pleasure that drove her as she sucked and licked his hardened member. It was her own delight.

Even as she grew more persistent, still he was gentle, his hand gliding through her hair and caressing her cheeks. Her fingertips brushed along the underside of his balls.. soft and teasing, until once more she cupped them fully in her hand. Her lips were insistent,tightening around him as she took him deeper still into her mouth.

She loved the way he looked at her, his eyes glazed over with the same passion she felt. He never looked away from her, even as she coaxed him to greater heights with her lips and hands. At last it seemed he could take no more as his hands tightened in her hair and he groaned aloud, his eyes closing as he thrust his hips forward to press his erection farther into her mouth. The first shot of warmth flowing down her throat surprised her and a few drops of his cum slid from the corner of her lips. But it was the last she allowed to escape, the muscles of her throat visibly working as she swallowed the rest almost greedily.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Mirus

OOC: Welcome back! Unfortunately, I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. I won't be back until Monday, so just use Mirus however you need to. He won't mind!

IC: Mirus groaned as the last of his sticky seed exploded into Ariana's mouth. Never had he imagined anything feeling so good as her lips around him, sucking greedily. She continued sliding back and forth slowly, her fingertips teasing his balls at the same time. For an instant, he was afraid his knees would buckle, but it passed.

Finally, he gazed down at her. Her eyes met his own, and he could see the gleam in them. His hands continued to gently caress her face, almost desperately. For the moment, it was all he could do. He couldn't find the words to express his feelings.

At last, her lips slid off his cock. She slowly licked the last drops of cum from the tip, then cleaned the rest from her lips. Mirus still couldn't believe what had happened. He had imagined this happening, in the few moments he had allowed himself to think of Ariana in such a way, but had never dreamed it might actually come about.

Dropping to his knees, Mirus took her in his arms. His breathing was finally slowing, but his mind still reeled with the emotions he felt for her.

Kissing her, he slowly felt himself growing more bold. He wanted to return the pleasure she had given him. Holding her close, her body warm against his, his kisses grew more passionate.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Shawn williams

ooc: Thanks for the edited post satyn...

IC:

*he didnt rightly know what to do, save hold her in that time and place, he picked her up, and walked her out of there to a smaller clearing and sitting her down on a soft stump and just holding onto her till her crying stopped. His eyes soft as he held her, and shhhed softly*

There there now M'lady......'twill be alright......There now, Comon and stop that crying...tis not becoming of a lovely lady such as yourself...

*The sobs stopped for but a moment as her face looked up at him and he gave a rogueish smile*

 

[Satyn]

Selene

Selene barely felt herself being lifted and carried a short distance away. Her sobs were subsiding, mostly out of sheer exhaustion, but every time she closed her eyes, she saw that image ... that cold, pale hand ... her eyes flew open, focusing blankly on the coarse homespun of his shirt. There were minutes, perhaps hours of silence as the shudders slowly left her body, her hand unknowingly stroking the shoulder that she focused so intently. When she spoke, her eyes were unfocused, her mind in another place.

"We must warn Ariana," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. "The woods ..." her voice faltered as she pulled in a deep, shuddering breath. "She is in danger. He is still out there ... something evil." She closed her eyes in exhaustion, then snapped them back open just as fast. "We're no longer safe!"

Her face turned, her eyes red, puffy and still damp, but her gaze finally focusing on his face. "Please ... take me to her? You won't leave?"

Her expression was edged with desperation as she waited for his decision.
