Kaltain Leiya The loud, annoying sound of tools hitting against each other woke me up from my sleep. I slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes to see what was going on. I glanced outside my window to realize it was noon already. The book I remembered reading was lying beside me. I must have fallen asleep while reading. I looked up to find where the noise was coming from. My eyes noticed Helion standing at the center of the room, watching a few men work with tools. On closer look, I discovered they were breaking down the door. “What are you doing?” I mumbled as I walked towards him after I climbed down by bed. “It's about time you got up.” he said as he turned to me. “I'm replacing the door with one you can open.” As soon as I heard his words, every bit of sleep disappeared from my eyes. I snapped my head in his direction. “What?” “Did you lose your hearing in your sleep?” I knew I wasn't expected to respond to that so I remained silent, watching as the wooden door was b
Kaltain Leiya I was still getting used to being able to leave my chamber at will. After it was fixed and working, Helion stationed an extra guard to the entrance, making them two. He said now that anyone could also go in, I needed extra protection. I couldn't understand why he was so protective of me, but I liked it. I was allowed to go into every room in the castle, as long as I could get into it. I got a few strange stares when I walked around without Helion, especially from the kitchen maids. Whenever I tried to say a few words to them, I would get cold replies. It was like they didn't want to even associate with me. I made my way around in search for Helion. He was the only one in the entire castle I could speak to without getting a cold reply from. After a few futile searches, I caught sight of Calin on my way outside the castle. “Calin!” I called out to him. He halted for a second before turning to me. “Do you know where Helion is?” “We address him as his majes
Kaltain Leiya Seconds later, I eased into the kiss and soon enough, I wanted more. He gently jerked my body closer to him, kissing me with so much passion, it was almost impossible to keep up with his pace. When my eyes opened, I noticed we were still in the middle of the hallway. Maid came and went. I knew they noticed us but none of them had the guts to look at us or turn back after they had walked past. I felt a little embarrassed but he kept working his way around my tongue, it was hard to care about our surroundings. His hands traveled behind my neck and into my hair. He cupped my head with his hand, pushing me closer to him, and my lips further into his. To inch closer to him, I raised myself on the tip of my toes. As soon as I did so, his other hand travelled around my waist, softly crashing my body against his. My thoughts were in complete disarray. A part of my head and body wanted more of him. To submit to him my entire being. The other part of me wanted to get away.
Kaltain LeiyaMy eyes fluttered open, unaware I had even fallen asleep in the first place. I slowly sat up. I looked out the window to notice the moon had already taken its place in the sky. Surprised at how fast I fell asleep and how long I slept, I smiled down from my bed. Just then my thoughts went to Helion. My legs voluntarily came to a stop. I thought about our kiss and my fingers traced my lips. I began to feel the passion all over again. The intensity of our bodies brushing up against each other recreated a burning need within me. As I traced my lips with my index finger, I felt them form into a smile. I wanted him, I wanted more of him. I made my way to my door and out of it in search of him. As I walked, I started to feel a faint sensation of hunger. I was torn between requesting for food or continuing my search for him. Outside the castle, I could hear the loud playing of various musical instruments. At once, my attention was diverted. I headed for the
Kaltain LeiyaI tried to stay up until sunrise, but I was unsuccessful. Helion convinced me to go to bed when he noticed I was dozing off in his arms. When my eyes opened, the sun was on its way to the center of the sky. I sat up, stretching my arms and legs. “Good morning sunshine.”I looked up to see him sitting on the chair beside my window. My hands dropped to the bed and I stared at him with a wide smile. I couldn't explain why I was so happy to see him. “Good morning.”I mumbled. His lips formed into a smile as he continued to glance at me. Since I met him, I had seen him smile only a few times, but to see him smile at me, it just felt so good. While we were still staring at each other, my stomach rumbled loud enough for him to shift his gaze down there. He furrowed his brows in a puzzling expression before glancing back at me. I immediately burst into a small laughter.“What's funny?”He asked, genuinely confused.“Your face is funny.”
Kaltain LeiyaI walked outside the castle to meet Helion. He stood beside a carriage connected to two strong looking horses. Why did we need horses? I thought to myself as I walked towards him.“Can't you just teleport us there?”I asked when I got closer to him. He took my hand, gently aiding me into the carriage. “Don't you want to see if we can tolerate each other for that long?”He followed behind me into the carriage with a sheepish smile. I knew he just wanted to travel with me, which was rather flattering.“What happens if we discover we cannot?”He gave the order for the carriage driver to begin and we started to slowly move.“I'll leave you on the side of the road and carry on.”I shot him a dead stare. I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. It was hard to tell because he rarely wore readable facial expressions. He turned to me and when he noticed the look on my face, he let out a small laugh.“So you need to behave now.”
Valinor LeiyaWe finally arrived at the kingdom of Valinor after a few days on the road made up of teases, laughs and mouth action. As our carriage walked through the town, it looked depressed and gloomy. There were not a lot of people seen outside, and the ones that were seen, were unhappy and seemingly uninterested. No one even acknowledged our presence as we headed for the castle. At the foot of the castle, the king and queen were out to welcome us. Our carriage came to a stop when we arrived beside them. Helion stepped out before me, helping me out of the carriage with a hold of hand. When my two feet were safely planted on the ground, we looked at the two monarchs. I lowered my head in exoneration while the queen did the same, definitely for Helion. When she stood up straight, I noticed how beautiful she was. Her skin was like the rising morning sun. She was slender and tall, although the king was slightly taller. Her smile was supposed to brighten up whateve
ValinorLeiya The king's announcement brought the meeting to a close. Thereafter, food was brought to the table. Helion politely refused on the basis that he had eaten at a town just before theirs. A blatant lie of course. He hadn't eaten since we left Kaltain and he obviously could not request for humans at Valinor. However, he sat at the table with me which I found to be very sweet.I on the other hand was very hungry, even starving. The queen excused herself from the table when it was time to eat, I noticed from the worried gaze of the king that she wasn't returning. I couldn't help but include that she intentionally wasn't eating as a result of the uncertainty of whether her son was alive or dead. When I finished my plate, I thanked the king with a bow. I looked over to Helion to find his gaze on me. My lips formed into a small smile before turning away. Shortly after, the king also finished his meal and got up. We got up with him.“Let me show you your roo
