Amythest dreams

Chapter Ten:

As they made their way onwards to the border the following day Iredesa could tell they were getting closer. The trees were more vibrant, the air seemed to crackle with an energy that made the hairs on her arm stand up, and the animals seemed to be more otherworldly and ethereal. Even Kallan seemed to sense the change, his steps more sure and balanced. She could have sworn she seen his eyes glow a vibrant silver a couple times when the energy seemed to surge.

"Kallan? Is it just me or does it seem like the closer we get the more i can feel Fae energy?" He nodded, looking back at her.

"Yes you can feel the energy the closer we get. The border keeps Fae in and humans out, but it can't contain the raw energy that is in the air we breathe.. That is another reason why magic doesn't fully just belong to the Fae, but to humans who call themselves witches, warlocks, wiccans. The list goes on really. A select few humans that possess the rare gift of being able to tap into this energy and do things similar to what the Fae can. Yet there is a big difference in Fae and humans who can harness the power. Fae are born with the magic in every fiber of our being. It is a part of who we are. It's as important to our survival ad the blood flowing in our veins. Without it, we would die. For Humans who possess the gift they had to had a Fae in their bloodline in the distant past. They had to study and train for years to do even the most simplest of spells. They rely heavily on potions and tricks to make up for what they can't do. And they wouldn't die if they were to be stripped of their power, only weakened dramatically."

Iredesa listened closely, surprised by his words. It made sense that humans who possessed the gift were distant relatives of Fae. She had just never thought of it.. " There is something else I have always wondered. There are stories all over of monsters that murder people and drain their blood for food. They call them Vampires."

Kallan looked mad for a moment and then his face went back to neutral. "Yes. Even those you call Vampires are real. And the Fae will never live down that incident. Long ago a Fae called Vampirin went mad with blood lust after a particular spell of his went very bad. It caused him to crave blood. Both Far and human alike. By the time we had caught on to what was happening and killed him, the humans he had bitten had turned into what you call Vampires. They are fast and strong like the Fae. Some can shape shift, have mind control, and can fly like the fae. They have a lengthened lifespan and it is very hard to kill them. So far decapitation works. As well as direct sunlight, and then arrows dipped in the water of our blessed lake shot directly into the heart of the Vampire. Truthfully, they are not the only abominations that we have created. Werewolves were created during The Gathering as a cruel joke and an easy way of putting humans against each other. What better way to cause chaos and fear than to have their loved ones turn into savage beasts that have nothing in them other than hunger and primal urges."

Iredesa was in awe. The Fae were brutal and crazed beings. Responsible for so much evil in the world. He looked at her, clearly knowing what she was thinking. " Humans are also responsible for many atrocities as well Iredesa. Don't you forget that."

She knew he was right. After all, witches were burned at the stake and crucified just for being who they were by humans. Still, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of world she would have grown up in had the Fae never existed.

They continued walking, Iredesa mulling over what he had told her. It wasn't long before they stopped for a bit to rest their legs and eat lunch. Kallan left her to trap a small rabbit while she sat and watched the forest around her. She had to admit that the closer they got to the border and the further away from humans they got that the land around her seemed more at peace. She wasn't sure how to explain why peaceful was the word she used to describe it, all she knew was that without human interference the grass seemed more lush, the trees held a feeling of importance from years and years of being grown without being chopped down. Nature was flourishing without human hands there to clear and burn it away to make room for them.

As Kallan prepared their lunch she asked him more questions of his home. He answered easily, never hesitating on giving her the information she searched for. By the time they had finished and continued on, Iredesa had a lot to think over and a million more questions to ask. She was certain that she would never run out of questions about Puerr Terra and Tiernim.

Night fell and they made camp. It would be the last camp they made outside the border. Iredesa was nervous and more than a little sad at the knowledge that this was her last night in what she had known her whole life. Sure, she was excited to see the things he had told her about, yet she knew without a doubt that she would always miss her home. She would miss the days she had spent with her dad going over maps and learning how to shoot a bow. She could remember him teaching her that as a Fletcher she should always know how to shoot and make a bow. It was their namesake, their legacy. One that he had hoped to one day pass on to her and her husband and any children they may have made. She knew that Kallan would have no need of the Fletcher business..But maybe she could convince him....

"Kallan? Can I ask a favor of you? As your betrothed?" She asked, praying that he would grant her this one request. "You may ask anything of me little raven. If it is within my power I will see to it that it is granted."

"When we have children... Do you think you would allow them to travel to the human world to learn my father's trade? If only for a little while?"

He said nothing, clearly thinking hard about his answer. Finally he sighed, speaking slowly. " If you are wanting our children to learn archery and the art of making bows and arrows they could learn from the finest we have in Tiernim."

She shook her head, "That isn't the same. I am my father's only child. His legacy was to be passed on to me and any children that i bore from my husband. I am giving up his dream by going with you to the Fae world. His legacy will end with him unless he takes up an apprentice. Our children. MY children. They have a right to know the human side of them. I ask you this favor so that my father knows his grandchildren and so that they know where they came from. Please. If this is the only thing you ever grant me I will be the happiest and most devoted wife I can be." Tears sprang to her eyes as she begged him.

He looked at her, clearly torn, before he nodded. " I will grant you this request Iredesa. As long as it is within my power to see our children go to the human realm I will make sure they go."

She smiled, lunging at him with joy and happiness, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you Kallan." She whispered as she kissed his cheek. He said nothing as she let go and made her way to the tent for the night.

When he made his way in she decided that she would find a way to repay him the kindness he had showed her. She didn't have anything other than herself. And she had already made peace with herself that she was attracted to him. So she waited until they were settled in before she made her move.

She slowly slid off her tunic, looking over at him as he quietly watched her. He said nothing still as she slid her pants off and allowed him to see her nakedness. His breathing turned heavy when she slowly walked towards him.

"Little Raven. What are you doing?" He asked as she knelt down in front of him beside his bedroll. " I am repaying your kindness with the only gift I have." She said as she began untying his tunic.

"You don't need to repay me Iredesa." He said, grabbing her hands and looking her in the eyes. "Just let me. I am ready. I want this. It's my last night here in the human world and I want my first time to be here. Not in a foreign land that I do not know."

He dropped his hands as she finished loosening the strings and pulled his shirt from his body. She ran her fingers over his chest, marvelling at the strength she felt beneath his skin. She slowly touched the beginning of the scar on his shoulder and gently kissed it, smiling as he breathed in deep. He allowed her to explore him as she kissed her way up his neck and slowly made her way to his lips. When their lips met he finally allowed his hands to run through her hair, pulling it down and around them like a silk curtain.

"Do you realize just how beautiful you are my little raven?" he murmured as she pushed her body against him. She only sighed as she slid her arms all the way around his neck, deepening the kiss. His tongue swirled in her mouth, bringing a moan from her. They fell back onto his bedroll, her straddling his waist. She could feel his desire pulsating through his pants and out of curiosity she rubbed her core against it. He growled, biting her lip gently.

Her hands traveled down and slowly undid his pants, not wanting to rush. Still he did nothing, allowing her to take control and go at her own pace. She lifted a little, giving him consent to slide his pants off and settled back down, gasping at the feel of him against her. She pushed him back and arched her body, sliding herself across the long length of him slowly. He hissed as he felt the evidence of her arousal flow around him. Still he did not touch her. The power she felt being able to do anything she wanted to him had her breathing heavy and more than a little aroused. She kissed him again, sliding her breasts across his chest. They felt heavy and aching from the contact. Her body was starting to feel hot as she slowly kissed her way from his lips down to his chest. She barely hesitated,led by her desire, as she traced her tongue across his n****e causing him to breathe in sharply.

Seeing that he enjoyed it, she moved on to the other side, slowly tracing her tongue around it as well. Finally he touched her, grasping her hips as she took her time tasting every inch of his chest.

"Iredesa. You are causing me to lose any semblance of restraint I may have darling. I don't know how much longer I will be able to hold back." She said nothing, fueled by desire and a hunger in her belly that she had never felt before. This hunger was nothing food could tame. It was only Kallan that would be able to sate the growing inferno inside of her. She looked up at him as her mouth hovered just a hairs width away from his manhood.

She had no clue what she was doing, yet she wanted to taste him as he had tasted her. Slowly she flicked her tongue at the tip of him. His c**k jumped at the slight touch, causing her to flick her tongue again. She tasted the salty drops that leaked out of the head of it slowly, mesmerized by the taste. She licked her lips and slowly slid them over the head, causing him to curse sharply. His fingers tightened in her hair as she begin to slowly work her way down. He seemed to enjoy what she was doing she so picked up the pace and swallowed as the saliva in her mouth became too much. She took every inch of him, all the while wondering if he would even fit inside her when the time came.

"Iredesa if you don't stop I'm going to embarrass myself." Kallan said in a strangled voice. She lifted her head up and saw that his eyes had turned to that dark mercury color that told her when he was aroused. She licked the drops of him from her lips, making him swear again and pull her up to crash his mouth to hers. There tongues tangled as he flipped them over and covered her body with his.

Instinctively she wrapped one leg around his waist as he plunged his fingers deep inside her, causing her to cry out as her first orgasm exploded through her body. "I love feeling you c*m on my fingers my little raven. Love the way your p***y tightens over them as you cry out. Do you want me to taste you now?" He breathed in kissing her.

" Yes. Please." She panted, her juices spilling over in anticipation. He didn't hesitate as he slid down her body and wrapped her legs around his shoulders and plunged his tongue deep inside her. She cried out again as he licked and sucked and swallowed every singled drop that he tore from her body. She concluded again, another orgasm breaking through. He groaned into her thighs as he held onto her shaking body.

"Oh God Kallan." She cried out, arching her back into his mouth wanting, needing more of him. He forced one more orgasm from her before crawling back up and kissing her tenderly. "Are you sure about this Iredesa? Because I don't think I can stop after this. Tell me to stop now before it's too late."

Her breathing was heavy as she laid her hand on his chest. Her heart seemed to stop as she looked into his eyes and said quietly. "Don't stop."

Slowly he reached down and guided the long length of him to press against her entrance. He eased himself in, stretching her until she thought she could stand no more. He stopped, letting her get accommodated to his size and told her roughly, " This may hurt a little. But only for a moment. Try not to tense up little raven." She nodded and he forced the last few inches into her. She felt a slight tear and then a burning pain. Tears sprang to her eyes from it and he kissed them away as he stayed still and waited for the pain to subside. Once she relaxed he slowly began to slide himself in and out until her cries of pain turned into cries of pleasure.

Never before had her body felt so alive and on fire. He plunged into her faster and faster as she met him stroke for stroke. Wanting every single thing he was doing. Needing the slight sting of pain that came with every single thrust. He stretched and stretched her tight core with delicious precision. Her orgasm came suddenly and hard as he continued to take her like she had never been taken before. " Yes Iredesa. c*m for me. Say my name as I take you." He said as he pushed another orgasm from her.

"Kallan." She cried out as waves of pleasure almost caused her to black out. Suddenly he pumped several more times ferociously and she could tell that he was almost over the edge as well. She clenched her inner muscles, pulling him over the edge with her as a final orgasm racked her body once more.

He collapsed on top of her, his heart beat as erratic as hers seemed to be. "Kallan." she breathed as he kissed her once more and wiped the hair from her face. He pulled himself out of her and she felt both of their juices leak out of her slowly. With one final kiss he rolled off of her and pulled him closer to his chest.

"That was... Everything I ever imagined and more." She whispered sleep began to consume her. The last thing she remembered before the darkness consumed her was him whispering "Me too."
