When RP takes control IC thread

[katalynn]

For some reason his words still felt like daggers diving into my soul. I know he was trying to make me feel better. He was taking this way to lightly, didn't know if I should be upset. Or worried that he's just simply taking pity on me and when this is all over he will then leave, for now just staying with me out of pity. I tried hard to force back both those thoughts, Maybe he does love me, his eyes seem so true and innocent.

Purred and moved my head lightly to his touch, his fingers at my sensitive ear, tracing down my jawline, only to lift my face to his gaze again. His forhead somewhat pinning my eyes to his. He didn't see anything that wasn't already there in my eyes. The hurt, fear, anger. My purple orbs were probly swarming with mixed emotions it was hard to tell how I really felt.

"I shall not deprive you of which you ask.... Right now that is the only comfort I'm finding... Is here.. in your arms... How can I deny or deprive of such things."

Paused for a moment, wanting to look away, yet, not wanting to.

"I wish to see that priest now, or at least within the next few moments.... I don't think I'll be able to stop this from going any further.. Your touch alone makes me weak... Your words makes me want to make love to you right now... It's hard to say no to you... M'love... I don't want to say no to you... I don't want to be afraid of you, or of hurting you anymore than I have already."

"Saying no to you tears me up greatly...... Fearing for and of you is even greater.... "

I don't know why I fear of him, part of me still thinks this is jusst out of pity alone, an act. I bet deep down inside of him he's thinking of the right time to leave. The right time to end this, his eyes say so much..... But I also know that no-one takes things like this, this lightly.. Let him think that its rape, I fear deep down he thinks otherwise.

"I refuse to hurt you anymore than that, I am not sure why you stayed, or why you are taking this, as lightly as you are......... But I love you for that, I can not deprive that."

Skyler

“I hope she’s doing ok, she’s seemed really shaken since the incident with Avrice in town.”

She looked to him and raised her glass some, “Yes for now this will do. The bloodwyne here is made for those with my tastes, so to speak.” She took a sip of the wyne, “On that I’m fine for now, on this whole thing,” She shrugged, “I’m not too sure. I just want you and Kryss to be ok, and for all of us to get home before we forget where that may be."

 

[Armphid]

Jasleth

His eyes flashed dangerously, his tender expression hardening. "Lightly?" He barely whispered the word, an ugly angry undertone in his voice. "You think I'm taking this lightly?" "Because I have stayed, because I have tried to show that I love you, to take away some of the hurt you feel, you think I'm not taking this seriously enough?"

The small anger and betrayel he did feel swelled upward, fanned by her suspicion of his motives. "What do you think?" "That because I haven't thrown a fit, or left you in disgrace, that I have some kind of agenda?" He released her from his arms, his voice no louder but gathering in intensity. "Do you think I'm just trying to get some out of this, huh?" "Or that I'm just babying you along so I don't have your death on my conscience when I do leave?" "Is that it?" "Has anything I said meant a damn to you?" "Or do you think I'm a liar too?"

Jas put one arm on the rim of the tub, vaulting out, streams of water cascading off of his glistening body. "When have I lied to you?" "When have I ever given you any reason to think I was false?" His voice was rising now, Jas's anger taking over. "Just because I decided to try and get right to the end of the coping process without dragging both of us through the brambles and wire in-between, I'm taking it lightly?"

He paced back to the main room, pulling a pair of clean pants on. "Do you want me to swear at you, curse you, recoil from you?" "Do you want me to hate you?" "I can't...of anything you could want, that's the one thing I can't do." "And I won't do the others." A shirt went over his head, the bedraggled white headband being tied into place a moment later. "Doesn't seem like it matter though...my love and want to help you apparently aren't good enough."

Jas moved to the door, the hinges groaning as he tore it open. "This doesn't mean I'm not coming back." "I'm going to get the priest." "Don't think that this changes what I said earlier...I am angry about what's happened, and I resent that you suspect me because I haven't been taking it out on you." He took a breath, "although I just did." "I'm sorry." "I'll be back shortly, don't try to leave or anything else stupidly dramatic while I'm gone." "You're better than that...and I'd find you anyway." Some of the heat had fallen from his voice, but his back was stiff and pained, his eyes showing the hurt though he was lookig out into the hallway. "Just...try to relax and enjoy the bath." "Food will be sent up soon, I want you to eat." Then he stepped into the hallway, firmly closing the door behind him.

He passed the serving girl who had given him the wine of his way down. She started to speak but he cut her off. "Not now!" "Take a bowl of that stew and some bread to my room and leave it there." "I'll be back with the priest shortly if anyone asks."

He left the affronted woman behind, muttering to herself darkly. As he emerged from the hostel, the warmth of the sun tried to ease his temper, but the brightness irritated him for some reason. The healer's house was easy enough to find, the sign of the Ankh marking it plainly. He paused before knocking, aware that had he hit the door as strongly as he had intended, he would have knocked it off it's hinges. Instead he turned and leaned against it, taking a deep breath. Damn...he'd screwed that up. He had done exactly what Kyle had told him not to do, let his temper and his own hurt get the better of him. He was angry at Avrice, hurt by Avrice, yet he had vented on Kryss because she was the one who was there. Yet at the same time...her doubt and fear of him stung deeply. He hadn't hurt her, had supported her, kept her close when many would have cast her aside. Didn't that count for anything? Didn't his love count for anything?

Before he could think in it anymore, the door began to open behind him. Jas spun away, finding himself looking into the knowing face of the priest, carrying a large leather case. "Ah, good." "I was just coming to see you and you lady." The older man took in the partially wet state of Jas's clothes, the confusion in his eyes. "Hmmm." "Hm." "Well, had a spat have you?" "Don't say a thing, I've seen it before." The white robed man buslted past, pulling the young monk along in his wake. "I don't know the specifics, but someone did something bad to your lady, yes?" "You try to comfort her, but she pulls away from you." "You, understandably perhaps, get upset and leave in a huff." Jas's silence spoke volumes. "Well, this just happens in cases like this." "It's not an easy truth, or a nice one, but it is true, and you will just have to deal with it."

They came to the hostel, the White Mage making his way inside and up the steps once the girl at the desk signaled the room number to him. "I have the talent of Mind Healing, in addition to my other powers, so I may be able to help, but you must remember that she is not the one you are angry with, and that she is dealing with far worse than you." As they neared the room door, the priest stopped. He turned to look up at Jas with a piercing stare. "You love her, don't you?"

Jas felt the man's magic looking into him, knowing the mage would know the answer even before he spoke, and know it truly. "Yes, yes I do." He flinched as the gaze intensified, but did not look away.

After another long moment, the priest nodded and moved to the door. "That will me enough then, given time." "I will help however I can." "Tell her how you feel, lad, as often as you can." "Never let her doubt it, even for a second." "You first, lad, I don't want to spook her."

Jas stepped inside, feeling a bit ashamed of how he had left. "Kryss?" "I'm back, love." "The white mage is here to see you." He hesitaed, then went on. "I'm sorry I went off Kryss, it's just...hard for me right now." "I love you."

The older man stepped in, nodding approvingly. "Young lady," he called, "I did not introduce myself before, I am called Cole." "When you are ready, I will examine you and see what I can do to help."

 

[katalynn]

Kryss ~

I was stunned as he finally let out some of his anger, there goes the torment onto my soul when he pushed me away, got out and started to get dressed. Watched how the demon ripped and toyed with my every being at his angered words. All I could do was sit there, answering every question mentally for he gave no chance to respond.

~ No m'love... Everything you have done has meant so much to me...... I - I- I just don't know what I feel.. I love you, want to love. Here I have hurt you.... What have I done just now... He means so much to us.. to me.. We need him, why do I do this to him. Why did I just say that he was taking this lightly? Of course your not taking it lightly m'love.. I can see it in your eyes, hear it in your words. I wish I could tell you I don't mean to think or feel as I do. Please love, I don't mean to push you away. Your words mean more to me than this life does right now. Your words and love is what is keeping me alive. ~

Though I couldn't speak, letting him vent out some of his anger. Only turned around at the sound of the door opening, seeing the pain in his eyes, he didn't have his pack with him, at first I was confused till he said he wasn't leaving, he was only going for the priest. Sat in the tub, the tensed shivering started again. His words, questions, sound of his voice swam deep in me. Forcing me to think of how I have been treating him.

"What am I doing to you m'love?"

Whispered as the door closed, I knew he didn't hear me, didn't want him to.
Got out of the tub, still in shock from what just happened, shaking viloently. I hated fighting, arguing with the ones I loved. It took a lot out of me. Dried off with the huge fluffy towel, wanting to get something decent one before the Priest came. Dug into my pack, pulling out a long silky, black night gown. It was thick enough to where it wasn't see through and it trailed onto the floor as I walked. Somewhat low cut at my chest, showing some cleveage. Soon I started to work on my hair, just as soon as I heard Jas's halty voice. Heard the shame in the tone, still unable to speak for a few moments. Hadn't looked towards him for my back was to him.

"No .... I'm the one that should be and is sorry.. I should have.........."

Just then the priest came in, introducing himself. Once I realized it was seriously time, my turn to meet with him. Sheer fear rose deeply, showing in my eyes as I turned to face them at the door.
Breath took a second or two to catch up with me, heart racing. Didn't know what to do.

"I - .. I don't think I'll ever be ready for this so... What and where do you wish of me?" "I can't help but be scared, so you will have to bare with me..."

Looked toward Jas just before closeing my eyes, forcing myself to calm down.

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I shrugged. "I don't think any of us are going to be okay until we get out of this game. I think 'okay' is beyond us. I'm concentrating on 'alive'."

"When night falls and we head up to the Sanctuary, we can only hope we aren't attacked by something. And the Sanctaury won't have any answers for us, I can assure you of that. It's a babble of old seers and sages, so we will get an incredulous number of riddles and end up with more questions than answers."

"If we head north from here, we run into the snow-filled lands of Imil. If we go south, we get foreboding desert for large expanses. The climate will be harsh to us in either example. Plus...if the monster army has gained any ground, we may have to contend with THAT too."

I shook my head. "I'm not going to shoot for okay, and you shouldn't either. Alive will be hard enough to maintain as it is."

__________________________________________________


"Hmmm...." The cleric looked over Kryss's body. "You seem okay from here. However...there is something different about you."

He walked up to her and squinted. "Could you remove your clothes? Don't worry...I am a member of the White Mage Order. We have a strict oath of respect regarding such matters."

 

[NyghtRayne]

Skyler

"Well alive is good. I am beginning to doubt how long we'll stay that way though the longer we stay in this damn game." She looked to Slip briefly as he continued to work on Dominic's stew.

The she looked back to Dominic. "Do you think you might still be able to hack in and find out how to get things back to some sort of normalcy?"

She took another drink of the wyne, then poured herself another glass. It was working wonders on her hunger, and she made herself a note to buy more before they headed out.

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I took another bite of bread before responding. "I don't know. Last time I tried on Slip, it was a failure. This world is too real, I couldn't see so much as a line of code in him. My sense are fooling me way too much. Maybe the sages at the Sanctuary can help me, but I doubt it."

"As for normalcy, Skyler, I dunno. This world is being teared apart; it doesn't take a programmer to notice that. I sense that the structure of the game may start to collapse. And the whole thing might just crash. And the way we are in it...our minds might just crash along with it. And i don't think we'll just be able to boot ourselves back up." I shook my head and had some soup. "I'd settle for just getting the hell out of here before that happens."

 

[NyghtRayne]

Skyler

She looked to him. "So we may be stuck in this hell for now? That's all I can think of it as, the only good thing I have found in this place is you."

She set the wyne glass down on the table near the bed, then looked back to him. "Things are getting to where the line between Skyler and Tyler is blending and I feel it is doing the same for the others. Once that is done I am sure no one will care about who they really are or were."

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I looked up to her as she spoke. "I know what you're talking about; I can feel it too. I don't really know who I am anymore."

"I can see your transformation." I smiled as I shifted in bed. "You've gone from the Skyler who hid in the shadows and kept to herself to the Skyler that sits by my bed and brings me food." I took a bite of bread happily, my mood starting to get better. "I think I could get used to being served by a pretty female vampire. I may play out the roll of injured guy a little bit longer." I chuckled to myself. "Maybe I can get you one of those barmaid outfits for you to wear."

 

[NyghtRayne]

Skyler

She smiled at the barmaid outfit comment, at least in this game persona she would look good in it. She knew deep inside she didn't look all that bad in real life, but she was definitely more of a tomboy with her job and all, not having the time to really dress nice and get out.

"But if I stay a vampire, we won't be able to spend that much time together. Right now the only thing keeping me awake is the wyne, if I sit too long I'll be napping at your side instead of talking with you." She was fighting the urge to go to sleep, she knew it was nearing noon and she would need rest and soon or she would fall asleep whether she wanted to or not.

"I would like to spend more quiet time alone like this with you." She smiled, "It's pretty nice to not have to worry about what is going to happen next."

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I laughed. "You're sitting with me and not getting worried? You must not have been with me enough."

I reached out and placed my hand on her leg. "But I know what you mean. I like this too...just spending time together. We haven't been able to spend any time since that night in the hut. Before I turned to stone."

Memories of that night swept back into my mind. We had come so close to being together that night. Were we still taht close. We didn't exactly act like it. It was because this Necromancer's curse. It's keeping her at bay. And I would have it for a few years. Bloody luck.

"There's nothing that makes me happier than to be with you, right now." I smiled to her, but it was half-hearted.

 

[NyghtRayne]

skyler

She smiled and placed her hand over his. "That's true we've been through alot since then and it hasn't been very long." She wished she could go back to that night and do things differently, make things better for Dominic and for Kryss, especially for Dominic.

She looked to him, she could sense somewhat the change between them, she wanted to push that change away and go back to that night in the hut before the mages showed up. She knew there was no going back, only forward she knew that.

She took a breath and smiled softly as she gently squeezed his hand. "You know until I met you here, this game was only a form of escape from my day to day busyness. Now even though I know we may eventually go home, I don't know if I want to if it means giving you up." She paused to look to him, wondering what his thoughts were at her words.

"I don't know why and I don't want to know what has drawn me to you like this, if finding out will separate us. Things are moving quickly, and yet seem to be moving so slow. I don't know if what I am saying makes sense. I want to go back to real life, but if it means not seeing you or being with you then I don't."

She glanced towards Slip only briefly, she knew the lizard had a strong dislike for her because of what she was. She hoped Dominic could tell she meant what she said.

 

[Xenocide_613]

Thalryn

Thalryn lifted himself from the tub, letting the water run down his lithe, muscular bronze frame. He lifted up the towel he’d dropped onto Elistraee with his foot and used it to dry off. He stretched his stiff arms and back as he finished drying off his long blonde hair. All his muscles were sore from overexertion and he felt a really bad headache coming on.

Once the elf had finally let himself relax, all the past events that had taken their toll on his already travel-worn body started coming into effect. His temples began to throb, and he carefully pulled on his tunic so as not to strain his arms overmuch.

Once he was finally fully clothed he headed down to the taproom. His vision was blurring slightly from the pain of his headache, and he moved in short, mechanical steps so as to keep the burning in his muscles to a minimum.

Elven spirits weren’t going to be able to handle all this pain. Maybe he’d break and finally resort to Dwarven ale…

No, he still had his dignity to think of. The elf gingerly pulled out a barstool, wincing at the screech the stool made against the floor. The servant girl appraised his condition and quickly placed a tall goblet of white wine in front of the gold elf. Thalryn nodded in appreciation, then sniffed at the wine. He took a small sip, savoring the taste, then downed the glass, but immediately regretted the quick action when his head throbbed harder in protest.

The serving girl stared at the elf in disbelief, then turned to grab the bottle and pour another round, which the elf dispatched just as quickly. The pain in his muscles was starting to subside, and the headache was releasing some of the pressure from behind his eyes.

He smiled at the servant girl as she drained the last of the bottle’s contents into his goblet. He raised his glass to her, then surprised her by sipping instead of the expected draining of the glass. Even an elf had limits, and he didn’t feel the need to end up with a worse headache than he had now.

Being so early in the day, the room was completely deserted except for the servant girl. He wasn’t usually one to drink alone, but these were special circumstances. That and all the others were most probably…occupied.

Not that he could blame them.

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I looked up to Skyler. "Do you mean that Skyler?" I asked. "I mean...I know we've been through a lot and that tends to bring people together. But...I feel different towards you than I do to Kryss or Jas or Thal. I can't help but feel attracted towards you. I think...I think I..."

Did I love her? It sure felt like it. This was definitly a strong feeling...but was this really her, or is it Skyler? If I told her I was in love with her...does that mean Dom is in love with Skyler...or that James is in love with Tyler? Or is James in love with Skyler...Hell, is this love just a digital emotion implanted by the game?

There were too many different factors...it was too risky. I swallowed what I was going to say and changed subjects.

"It...it's dusk. We should probably get going soon." I turned in place and jumped off the bed.

"See? I can stand perfectly." I let out a semi-nervous laugh. "Let's go find Kryss. See how she's doing."

 

[Armphid]

Jasleth

Kryss looked so gorgeous in that gown, so forlorn and afraid, it tugged at his heartstrings just to look at her. He moved quickly to her side and took her hand in his. "No "shoulds" between us, mt heart." "I wacted unwisely, maybe we both did, we can speak about it later if you want." "For now, let's just see what teh Padre here can do for you." He gave her hand a squeeze. "I know you're afraid...I am too...but I'll be right here."

Cole's initial inspection was quick, the aged healer's skill determining that at lest visibly, Kryss was in fine health. Jas felt a moment's anger and hesitation when he asked her to disrobe. "...Just keep that oath of yours in mind, Cole." He was also more than a little nervous about seeing her naked. It would get him turned on...and if he couldn't, ah, indulge with her, than he's rather avoid the experience. "It may be awkward, Kryss, but we don't want any doubts do we?" "If you'd prefer, I can wait in the bathing chamber until you're finished."

 

[NyghtRayne]

Skyler

She noticed the hesitation in his voice, but she wasn’t about to push for what he was going to say. Then he changed the subject, in a slight way she was relieved, but then again she would rather know if he felt for her what she felt for him.

In fact she could feel the change in her energy level with the setting of the sun. “Yes maybe that would be a good idea, but we are safe here, maybe we should let them get some rest.” Then she looked to him, “You know you could probably use a good night of sleep as well.”

She smiled then knowing she was just as anxious to get out of here as he was. “I’m up for getting going if everyone else is.” She reached out and touched his arm, “You know I meant what I said earlier, I don’t want to leave the game if it means losing touch with you in any way. Up until now I have been able to keep Skyler and Tyler pretty much the same as they really are the same except for a little in the looks department.”

She laughed softly, “Yeah… Skyler is a lot shapelier then me in real life.” Truth be told Tyler could look like Skyler if she wanted to, just never dressed to show off the curves, the only real difference in the real and the game was the height and the shade of blue in their eyes..

 

[Tantrikenetic]

Dominic

I laughed a little. "Well, I'm not as good looking as Dom either, so I guess we're even." I seemed to think of something. "Hey...if we somehow, by some crazy stoke of luck, don't die horrible deaths and make it out of here alive, that's no reason we have to lose each other. I know it may be a while before we tough computers again, but why don't I give you my e-mail address. That way we can talk and arrange a time and place to meet each other. I'm very anxious to meet Tyler and I'm sure she will be just as pretty as Skyler is."

I took out a piece of paper from my pocket, a used spell scroll. "Here you go...JCode33@synaps.net is my e-mail." I gave it to her.

 

[NyghtRayne]

Skyler

She looked to him. "Well I would hope it would be more of an act of skill that would keep us alive and get us out of this mess. I don't like to put my trust in luck."

She watched as he pulled the paper from his pocket and wrote his email address on it. "While you're at it mine is TMMitchell@mysticmounts.com. Well that way we could still chat.. I would really like to meet you as James." She smiled She hoped he was puretty much like he was as Dominic, she was somewhat different, a little more outgoing as Skyler.

"I think if we all stick together though we'll make it out of this, it may take some time though."

 

[katalynn]

Kryss ~

"ummm well...."

Looked from the priest and back to Jasleth, somewhat shocked, at the same I wasn't. This is why I hated being examined, just like going to the doctors. It SUCKED!

"There's no point in you turning your back only to see me like that anyway... Just something I'm not used to..."

Lowered my head as if I was in shame, hesitantly reached my hands up to the straps of my shoulders, pulling them down as the gown slid down my body, the silk caressing my skin sent chills up my spine. Here I was, terrified and now naked in front of two men.. This was some what arousing in a twisted way, but fear overrode the arousment. Still arousment was lingering in the back. Clutched my hands into fists, just trying to not be so scared.

"I fear that I might have what Dominic has... But.. The way I got it.. I'm not sure how long it would be for it to be dectected.. Or how something like that ... "

Stopped once I realized he was of magic and could do things no other can when it came to finding such things out.

"I don't know.. I just know how I may have gotten it wasn't very pleasing.... And I hope that you can tell if I have it or not.."

Stood there, kept my head low, voice timid and soft. All I wanted to do was cover up again..

 

[Tantrikenetic]

The cleric looked over Kryss's entire body searching for any signs of the Blight. After a while, he put his hand on her body and roamed over every inch of her body. When he finally pulled away, he sighed.

"I don't see or feel any trace of the Blight on your body. However..." He motioned for her to sit down and spread her legs. "I do sense a disturbance in here." He moved forward. "Please do not be afraid. This is for medical purposes only." With that he slipped his finger into her pussy. He moved it around, rubbing against her cervical walls. After a moment, he removed his finger.

"I...I cannot be sure if it is the Blight. But there is definitly something going on inside of you. Some dark magic is festering." He sighed. "I'm sorry I must be so vague. But for your own good, I'm going to give you the same instructions I gave Dominic. Stay off of bad emotions. Try not to delve into anger or depression. If this is the Blight, then you don't want it to spread. If it isn't...the sages in the sanctaury could probably do a better job than me of decyphering what's inside of you."

 

[Armphid]

Jasleth

Jas's heart felt like it was sinking. Kryss didn't seem to like this at all...not that he could blame her. All he could dow as watch while the priest examined her. He felt he should turn away, try to spare her the indignity, but he couldn't look away from her naked form. Lord...she was incredible.

He came to his senses when Cole "examined" her sex. Jas was about to knock the older man's block off when Kyle intervened mentally. "Don't do it Jas!" "Control yourself, man!" In the mist shrounded mind where they both existed, Kyle grabbed his alter ego, pulling him back. "I don't like it, but if it finds anything useful, she needs it!"

"Aw, come on!" Jas struggled to break free of the hold. "This is bull, he's just coping a feel!" 'We ought to send him through the window!"

Kyle held firm, his voice brooking no arguement. "No." "He doesn't seem to be a great healer, but he is all we have." "He seems to be about done...don't pay attention to him." "Only Kryss matters."

Jas's face contorted with anger for a moment, but slowly composed itself. "Well, thanks for trying, Cole." "I guess we have another question to ask the Sages."

The white robed priest nodded. "Indeed, they know much of such things, and have powerful magic at thier disposal." The priest turned around, gesturing Jas to follow suit. "Go ahead and get dressed, My Lady." "I am sorry for your discomfort, and that I could not be of more help." "Thank you both for your cooperation." He picked up the discarded bag. "I will take my leave of you now, I am sure you both need rest and time alone before nightfall."

Jas kept his back turned as he opened the door just enough to let the priest through. "Yeah, thanks again." "Take care out there, all right?"

The healer paused on his way out of the room. "I shall, but you two should be very careful as well." Then voice lower, he said, "Remember what I told you, young man." Raising his voice again, he waved a hand back at the couple. "Fare well until your return."

Jas closed the door, his back still to Kryss. "Give the word when you're ready Kryss, I don't want to make you anymore anxious." He grinned despite the situation, "Though I can't complain about the view I got." "You're a truly beautiful woman, my heart."

 

[katalynn]

Kryss ~

It was a bit uncomfortable to have Jas sit there watching the Priest. It didn't feel like he was serious about examining me, let alone not find anything. But I obeyed till he was done, as he was walking out the door I quickly put the gown back then went to the bed and curled up. Unsure of how to feel at this moment.

"It does not matter m'love. Not as if you haven't seen me without clothing already. Either way you can look now."

Layed there on the soft bed, wishing I knew what he left me. Only thing I can think of was what Dom had, if that's true how long would it be before it started to show? Kept my back towards Jas;

"What are we going to do now? I - I don't want to deprive you of anything, least of all your love for me. It's just hard, hard being in the dark."

Curled up into a tighter ball, trying to shut the world around me out.

 

[Armphid]

Jasleth

Jas moved over to the bed, sitting on the edge. "Now, we rest." He placed a hand on her shoulder, voice soft. "When it;st ime to get up, we'll eat, and then climb the mountain." "We'll find Sanctary, and it will truly be a sanctuary for us." "We will get some answers, a few more questions, and we will find a way to heal whatever has been done to you." "After that, we follow the calling fo our hearts until we find a way out of this." "Then I will find you outside The Game, and truly be by your side."

Jas stood up off the bed and went about the room, pulling hsut the drapes, darkening the chamber. Then he went to the fireplace, chose a few logs that looked as though they would burn slow, and started them going. Pulling shut the grate, he rose to his full height, his wine red eyes alight with concern as he looked at his curled up form on the bed.

He knelt to remove his boots, then pulled the silk shirt over his head again. His pants stayed on as he padded back to the bed on nigh-silent feet. "Don't let fear or despair drive you, love." "It's hard, I know I'll never know how hard, but fight those feelings." "Just think of how I feel about you, and let that be a light if the darkness." He sat again on the edge of the bed. The firelight gleaming red off of his muscular body. "Is it all right if I lie next to you?" "If I hold you?"

Heard him move about the room, his words brought a smile to my face. He did not see it though, not till he sat back on the bed and I looked towards him. It was clear I wanted to cry, but just couldn't not anymore. There was love showing in my eyes by the second, love for him.. for Jasleth.

"Please... please hold me and never let me go." "I'm sorry for what I said earlier... Everything you have done, said, is more than I need. Probably more than I deserve... I Love you and I know there's nothing that will break that."

The fire was making him look so wonderous, I had to fight to not ravish him right there, to make love to him.. Anything. It seems like it's been forever since we had any real time together, and right now I didn't want this time to end.

Athyna ~

A mysterious figure was watching the golden elf drink him from what looked like a hard night. Wasn't very often I seen one of his kind around. It was interesting to watch how he drank the wine, not very often an elf would just chug down wine in such fashion.

Grabbing my bow walking towards him, if anything he looked like he could use some company, least someone to talk to. Taking the cloaks hood off my silver hair, silver eyes looked over his form before I spoke. The servant girl knew who I was and handed me some gypsy wine which was the best,

"And some for this gentleman as well... Assuming he will accept."

When Thalryn looked over in my direction he saw a wood elf, appeared to be a ranger. The cloak hid most of my figure for now. Looked back to him with a smile;

"You look like you might want some company, if not I shall leave you. I'm not looking for anything in particular... Just possibly a new friend." My name is Athyna!"
