[QUOTE="Emperor Valerian, post: 1363605, member: 15043"] [b]Waterplay and Lullabys[/b] Behind the protective wall of Xanadu’s tail, Siabrey felt surprisingly daring. Having shucked her armor hours ago, she slipped the loose tunic over her head, wriggled out of her pants, and swiftly unbraided her hair. Gazing back at Lucius, who had only begun to remove his shirt, she wasn’t surprised to see him gaping open-mouthed at her. Giving him a wink, she turned and dove into the clear pristine water. The water still held a hint of its mountain spring origin, and she gave a small gasp as she surfaced and shivered slightly in its cold embrace. She gasped again as another icy blast washed over her, as the ripples from Lucius entering the water washed over her. He came to the surface beside her, and with a grin, they kissed. One turned to three... then four... then... Thirty enjoyable minutes later, Lucius dried off on the spare bed roll that lay among their things, Xanadu having moved all of their items closer to the water’s edge while they had played in the water. Siabrey sat on the edge of the pool, rebraiding her long golden hair and humming softly to herself. Glancing over her shoulder as she finished, she saw Lucius sitting only a few feet away, knees pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around them. A strange look filled his eyes as he gazed at her; a look so deep it was almost like sadness. “What’s wrong, Lucius?” Siabrey asked softly, shifting around to face him. “I…I’d like to sing you something that I wrote a little while ago.” He stammered, and without waiting for a replay, opened his mouth. The first notes that left his lips were as hesitant and sweet as the first drops of a rainstorm. As he continued however, his voice gained strength into a tune that would have made Tess proud. [i]The first moment that we were alone. Felt like the first breath after a plunge in the sea From that first moment that our eyes met I somehow knew you’d be standing by me From then on every moment Has sparkled like a morning shining with dew It gets harder to breath when you’re laying by me And I’m loving just being with you You are my sun, That burns in my heart Igniting my passion and fire You are my sky, So bright and so wide Sheltering me from all that may hurt You are the one, I’ve pledged my life to You protect me as I’m loving you Oh, my winged warrior Heavenly and strong You are the light of my life.[/i] As the last notes died away, Siabrey found her cheeks wet with tears for the second time that night. “I call it ‘The Song of my Winged Warrior’,” Lucius barely managed to say before Siabrey’s lips met his. Alternately crying and holding each other, there were no words that the couple needed to share. After a while, they crawled into a bedroll together and lay gazing up at the stars, delighting in the feeling of being one. Long after Siabrey felt Lucius’ breath go soft and steady, she was still awake. The dragon that had lain quietly nearby the whole time shifted his body so that his scaled side lay only inches away. “Xanadu?” she whispered softly to the dragon she knew was gazing at them. [i]“Yes, Siabrey?”[/i] the dragon’s voice was quiet, yet somehow Siabrey knew that he had been watching them all along. “Lucius will be alright, won’t he?” Siabrey felt rather than heard the dragon’s head that now lay beside her own. [i]“He is strong. I have a feeling that he will be alright.”[/i] the dragon paused and Siabrey turned her head to gaze into the magnificent eyes. [i]“The love you have for each other is greater than any evil. It is that love, I believe, that will save him. Perhaps…”[/i] the dragon mused. [i]“Perhaps it will save us all…”[/i] Siabrey blinked hard, then reached out and stroked the delicate scales around Xanadu’s eye gently. “Thank you, Xanadu.” She whispered. The dragon nodded, and lifted his head to gaze back out into the night. [i]“Goodnight, Siabrey.”[/i] “Goodnight.” Her eyes closed as a delicate vision of Lucius and her spun its way out from her mind into the web of her dreams. [/QUOTE]
