Beastly

Mage

"carry on."Darion said to the maid servants who were done with the clearing of the dishes as he sat further away from Beatrice than before,it would help him concentrate and say what he had to say,he could only hope she would understand, humans never took news like this lightly,they were either too scared or jealous of the possibility of higher beings, that was what started the m******e in the first place, but she was different.

She looked better,if not more beautiful,in his eyes she was a queen, with a heart as fragile as a flower, she wasn't like her sisters,she looked like an angel in appearance more like Christina, Thrianna was a totally different case, even a week without her was unbearable ,he didn't want to imagine what could have happened if they didn't let him bring her in,he would definitely have had bones to chew with those pit heads of a brother.

He breathed in before he made to speak but she spoke first.

"What are you?"she'd thought of it,his accent was similar to that of the maids, and she thought she'ld faint when she saw one of them moving the water in circles around her fingers but she kept shut, surely he would have a good explanation, surely.

"A mage."he said after a while of hesitation.

"Mage?"she asked as she a little confused,she knew of witches,but they were extinct and she knew of the occasional foresight for Thrianna but she'd heard nothing of mages.

"Yes, I'm a plant mage,I control plants."he said as he raised his hand towards the flower by the side of the room closer to the bed and it stretched it's stems and as his hand moved in loops it curled up and it's flowers grew bigger and more beautiful then he stopped to see if she was catching up,she just stared at the flower pot to her right totally lost,she was short of words ,then she turned to stare at him and with that,he continued speaking.

"This-" he said raising his hands to the already extended plants and they grew further to the direction of the curtains drawing it to let light slip into the room,

"is Magadon."she half closed her eyes at the amount of light that got in, when her eyes finally adapted to the light,she couldn't help but admire the environment,she slowly stepped down from the bed and walked to the window and she'd thought she had seen the least when she saw the water float on the maids fingers but this...this was a lot to take in and unexpectedly excitingly terrifying.

"Just leave."Thrianna said as Rose stood from the foot of the tub,she had insisted on helping her out with the bath as she had been out sparing, but she didn't need help ,was it so surprising to see a lady spar?,she was stronger than she looked, why did people apart from her family find that hard to understand?,it must be her size,she looked too fragile to lift a sword,but she could ,she just had a little headache and some minor pains on her hands , shoulders and back, maybe a little more on her buns due to the fall but aside those nothing else and with more practice she would be able to will her swords just as she used to, and with that accompanied with Rose's departure,she eased into the tub to only wince at the pain that shot through her body, maybe next time she'ld agree with the easy treatment,she leaned back and closed her eyes,Rose had mistakenly poured so much soap into the water, now it was too lathery and by lords she was famished,she wondered what Mrs Hertely and the kitchen staff was making for dinner and th-

"Aggggggh"she moan with ease as she felt someone slowly massage her scalp, Rose had finally found some other better use to her herself than stand around and try to help her take a bath when she was well able to do that.

The steady hands massaged her scalp for a little longer then it went down to her neck slowly kneading like delicate dough and she felt goose bumps creep onto her sink at the registration of those familiar hands,this wasn't Rose,her eyes instantly snapped open.

"Wha-"

"Oh, you're awake."he said not letting her speak further and she almost choked from her words,she sank into the lathered water with only her face on the surface.

"Look what you've done."he said calmly leaning forward to make sure his hands remained in their place.

"You got my clothes wet."

"Well if only you'd remained in the room as I took my bath I'm sure you'ld be as dry as ever, please leave."she said with sharp breaths,has he gone mad?!,how could he step into the convenience when it was still in use ,much less touch her as she was, without clothes for the love of heavens,what had he seen?,she prayed nothing or she would leave in shame for the rest of her life ,such scandal!

He was just coming into the room when he saw Rose standing by the door and from the information he had gathered she had tried helping Thrianna out but she refused as usual and also something about her having a headache so he thought he'd see how she was doing , and as he came in, he just couldn't resist the urge to touch her,after that unsettling kiss last night, he didn't think it would be possible for him to stare at her without wanting more.

"Now what fun would that be?"he asked as his hands moved down to the curve of her neck and she lifted her hands from the water to stop him but he caught her wrists instead.

"I heard you can will a sword and quiet impressively at that,Roman kept going on and on,I was starting to get jealous."he said with a lavish smile on his face.

Oh please, spare her that talk,what could he get jealous of?, you can only get jealous when you care for someone and he didn't have a bone for that,"please leave."her voice was only a whisper as the thought of her being fully unclothed made her feel rather vulnerable,"please."

"You didn't think i'ld let your little escapade of yesterday go ,now did you?"he asked as he thumb ran over the pulse on her wrist and she let out a shaky breath.

"I said I was sorry."she said as she tried to jiggle her hands loose very carefully.

"Well that is a sight."he said, and she closed her eyes as she flushed in embarrassment,he was behind her so she couldn't see his face,so making sure she was totally covered with lather was her only hope of decency,"and that wasn't quite enough."he said finally letting go of her hands to place it back on her bare shoulders and she drew in a sharp breath .

"I'll do whatever you want ,please just leave."she said wishing she could just leave Instead but she couldn't.

He was so close he could perceive the fragrance of sweet rose water and that odd mix between chocolates and vanilla.Whatever huh?,he thought as he stood from his position,that was one of the times she spoke without proper thinking of what her words might imply.

"Ok then, I'll be waiting in the dining hall."he said with a smile before he stood and left ,she finally let the horror crawl onto her face,it wasn't there,his hands were completely smooth,he wasn't injured.
