The sheer force of the beast was unimaginable!
Lilith screamed while gripping Alfi's fur tightly, terrified she might be flung off.
"Cywen! Make it stop!" she yelled, turning to face him.
His eyes were icy, and predatory, resembling a hunter's stare at its prey, sending a wave of chills across Lilith's body, and even her blood was chilling with fear.
What was going on? Cywen's eyes mirrored the ferocious state of an orc, his body exuding the menacing smell.
She recalled Cywen's earlier mention of rage and madness... Had he lost control?!
Was this her opportunity to escape?
The thought had barely crossed Lilith's mind when Alfi surged forward, making her scream in terror!
Gosh! Dropping from the back of this frenzied giant was a definite death!
"Cywen! Wake up! Snap out of it!" Lilith shouted.
God, please don't let me die here!
But Cywen remained unresponsive. Gritting her teeth, Lilith made a decisive move!
She spun around and threw herself into Cywen's embrace, pressing her lips fiercely to his. With her eyes shut, she entered Cywen's spirit world.
A tempest churned above the sea. Lilith hesitated to dive into these dangerous waters, yet she had no alternative now.
Waking up Cywen was the best choice if she wanted to survive!
Taking a deep breath, she dove deep, battling against currents that threatened to sweep her away. The ocean seemed to resist her, its currents more forceful than before!
She finally reached the glowing orb on the ocean bed, within which she saw a figure. It was... the orc form of Cywen!
He was covered in fur, with beast-like ears and a fuzzy tail. His eyes shut, and his face showed great agony.
Despite her instincts to flee from this orc, here she was, attempting a rescue!
Just take it as a way to repay the life-saving debt she felt she owed him, even though she believed the price she had paid was already steep!
As she approached Cywen once more, another undercurrent slammed into her, tumbling her over. Struggling back to his side, she was pulled away by a chilling current, and something clutched at her foot.
No s**t? The barren ocean floor shouldn't have anything like seaweed!
Lilith glanced downward to see a massive and dark shape rushing towards her, which swiftly engulfed her in its shadow!
She snapped her eyes open and pulled abruptly from Cywen's spirit world back to reality. Her heart raced with fright as she patted her chest to calm herself. What was that thing she saw?
As Alfi thundered recklessly through the forest, a branch nearly speared Lilith's eye. She managed to dodge at the last second, but the branch scraped her cheek and left a gash!
Thank goodness, she was still alive!
Lilith ducked her head into Cywen's chest, using him as a shield. Not an overreaction given their precarious situation!
With no better options, Lilith closed her eyes once more and reappeared above the stormy seas in Cywen's spirit world.
This time, she was prepared and cautiously dove into the water. The currents flared around her from time to time, occasionally flipping her over.
But this time, Lilith was wiser. She adjusted her angle and swiftly reached Cywen's side with the pushing force of the currents.
She tapped on Cywen's cheek and shouted, "Hey! Wake up, Cywen!"
Receiving no response, she paused in thought before leaning in for a kiss!
A slick tongue slipped through, prying her lips apart as a hand firmly held her head.
Lilith managed to create a gap and yelled, "Cywen! Wake up! Tell Alfi to stop!"
Startled, Cywen's golden pupils contracted, and he abruptly sat up, pulling Lilith into a tight embrace!
The turbulent seas gradually subsided, and Lilith breathed a sigh of relief.
Opening her eyes, she found Cywen fully awake, who was holding her tightly in the midst of the chaos.
Cywen paused for a moment. Had he just lost control? Covering his head, he was visibly repulsed by his lapse in rationality.
"Hey, are you okay?" Lilith's hand rested on Cywen's arm, and the comforting touch washed over Cywen! In response, Cywen pulled her even closer!
With a clear mind and a warm body, he felt as if he were refreshed with forest air or relaxed in a warm bath, both invigorating and comforting. Simply holding her had brought him an ineffable sense of delight!
Recalling the intense pleasure of the previous night, and freshly back from his loss of control, Cywen could no longer hold back.
He wanted more!
Cywen began to kiss Lilith's neck, his hand wandering under her clothing.
"Stop! No!" Lilith struggled desperately. "No!"
Her mind whirled as she exclaimed, "Cywen, I saw a huge dark shadow in your spirit world just now!"
Cywen halted, his tone filled with confusion. "A dark shadow?"
