a tale of finding inner peace( mature )

Leila pressed against him to whisper in his ear,

Make love to me, Wolf...

She swallowed and her cheeks flushed pink.

((-if its okay I'm gonna skip to the morning-))

Wolf smiled down at her, kissed her on the lips."anythin for you" he whispered into her ear

Vieri smirked as he and Jackal were locked together with swords."your skilled...very quick and to the point...I like it."he replied."your pretty good yourself" smirked Jackal aswell. he let go of the lock and bowed, sheathing his sword as Vieri did the same."we may pick up next time Jackal" Vieri dissappeared as Jackal walked off.

as the dawn brke through the window, hitting Wolf across the face, he woke up and sat up. he looked at Leila, smiling as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek

((haha! totally fine with me! Yeah it would be a little awkward to have a sex scene... lol. Also sorry for being MIA the past couple weeks. I've been dealing with some hard rl crap))

Leila's eyelashes fluttered as she awakened to Wolf's kiss. She smiled softly in her half sleep. Her eyes opened and she glowed as she grinned at him, radiating love and warmth.

Good morning.

he smiled as he leaned in and kissed her on the lips."first day of our lives together" he smiled as he stood up

Leila was in a state of bliss like she had never felt before. She felt closer to Wolf than anyone now. And they were bound for life. She stood as well and wrapped her arms around him in a hug

Wolf smiled as he held her close." I will never leave you" he whispered, his hand moved up to her cheek, resting his hand

Vieri knocked on the door." my lady...theres a guest in the throne room for you...he said that you saved his life... he suffered from a plague or somethin" Vieri was said with respect

Leila's brow furrowed. She slipped a loose black lace dress over her head and tied the bow in the back before turning to Wolf and tenderly kissing him once on the lips.

I will see you at dinner, my love.

She squeezed his hand and left with Vieri.

Vieri smiled." you seem in a brighter mood today my lady...if you don't mind me saying so" he retorted, checking his wrist blade."your freind Jackal...is quite the sworsman

Leila glowed at his words.

Yes... Live will do that to you.

She looked down at the ring on her finger and smiled before looking back at Vieri.

So Jackal is my mystery guest.

he shook his head." no..a kid...I'd say a year younger than you...great alchemist and mage from what he has told me...he said that he ventured down a mine shaft, and was attacked by some lizardmen...they poisoned him and as he was healing in the infirmary you visited him...healed him and left...before you met Wolf...he didnt rememder Wolf being with you at the time.."Vieri replied

Leila thought for moment before remembering.

Oh yes! I do remember him. Sweet kid, from what I remember. He's here? But how did he know who I was? I never told him..

She was a bit suspicious on that point.

Vieri smiled." he said that he asked around for you...eventually he met with a dark elf...Rai was his name...he told the kid where you was and so on" he said as they aproached the throne

the was sitting down on the floor,with piles of books around as he read through them."wow...this is unbelievable.." he then looked up and saw leila, he immediately jumped up and bowed."my lady...how have you been?" he asked as Vieri informed him that she was queen."your freind Rai told me where you was...I wanted to say thank you...if you didnt cure me, I would have died back there...I wanted to return the favour" he said with a timid expression and voice

Leila smiled graciously at the boy.

Your chivalry and honor are noted, young man. Saving you was not a problem. I am glad to see you alive and well now. You may stay as long as you like. Would you like something to eat?

he smiled and rubbed his head." please call me Devlin....and I would like somethin to eat thank you" he said as he laughed nervously. Vieri looked at the kid and looked at Leila."somethin wrong?...tell us." the kid stopped laughing. he fell to his knees."its..its my fiancee....she was taken...a group of lizardmen...I...I just want her back" he said slamming his fist into the ground

Leila's eyes grew wide.

Mire of those monsters? Vieri, get Wolf. I need to speak with my father. And Brutus. Devlin, go with my maid. She will get you some warm food.

She nodded to Lily, her lady's maid, and turned to leave the room to find her father.

Devlin nodded as he followed the hand maid."please forgive me..." he thought to himself. Vieri knocked on the commander's office."Commander Wolf...leila needs you urgently" Wolf came out and nodded to Vieri."whats goin on.?" he asked. the king was in his study, writing a down his thoughts.

Leila didn't bother with knocking; she was too distracted. She burst into her father's private study abruptly.

Father. There has been another lizard attack. Will you help me summon the army? I will fight alongside them. Where is Brutus?

She was out of breath, her blonde curls in disarray. Her brilliant blue eyes had turned steely in her stressed state.

the father got up."leila..catch your breath...Brutus has already taken our special forces to meet with some of our allies...the rest are still healing and training with jackal...I'm sorry" he said trying to comfort her

Leila bit her lip.

then it looks like I am on my own with this one... Me and Wolf. Unless he already has another mission I am not aware of...?

She feared as he said it that she would be all alone in fighting off the lizardmen... She wasn't sure if she could handle it alone.

"Brutus went in his place...look..lizardmen dont fight as armies...rather more so a raid party...Vieri will go with you...I'll send a few of the royal guardians out with you..." he said as Wolf walked in."Vieri told me...a rescue then?" he asked hosling his sword

Leila nodded.

Yes. A girl, a bit younger than I. I need to go change.

Can't swing a sword in a frilly dress.

Meet me at the stables in five minutes.

As she passed Wolf, she kissed him swiftly on the lips.

If this is what married life is like, I don't suppose we will ever be bored.

She grinned teasingly and hurried from the room. When she made it back to her chambers, she stripped out of her black lace sheath dress and into the mens pants she kept in her wardrobe, just in case. She then slipped on a tight black long sleeved shirt, slipped on her riding boots, and threw her hair into a messy bun before digging out her sword from behind her formal dinner gowns. She laughed once, in spite of herself, and hurried down the hall and out into the maze that were her castle corridors. She ran to the stables, seeing Wolf had beaten her there.

Where are the others?

Devlin and Vieri catched up."so sorry my lady...the boy insisted on coming along." Devlin's expression wasnt that of sadness, but almost that of guilt. Wolf looked at the kid."you know the girl?" he asked Devlin nodded." my fiancee...I need to help her" Wolf nodded and jumped on a Horse"well lets go then" he said

Leila mounted her horse with no difficulty. She put her sword in a saddle bag.

Where was the attack, Devlin?

he looked down."we travelled with a large family...they came out of nowhere...they took her off to thsi cavern...not far from the gate"we need to save her" he said

Leila nodded.

Save her we will, Devlin.

She smiled kindly at him and kicked her horse in the sides. She stared galloping away, off toward the city gate. She knew the caves well; she used to play there as a young girl.
