[QUOTE="megamania, post: 839129, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 047 “Different Perspectives” Mania still was shaken. His wounds were treated and wrapped by two templars under Keela’s direction. He was given cool pure water to drink with a hint of citrus. It reminded him of Keela’s favorite drink at the family home. But he couldn’t forget the evil laugh the creature gave or the image of the large man that gave it within his head. Other memories were swelling up- refusing to disappear but fully revealing themselves either. Keela walked into the room. She was dressed in her templar attire still. Black silk with patches of reinforced leather this time. She was beautiful…and she knew it. She walked quietly in the room. She was uncertain if he was awake or still in shock. Her champion had slain a tembo by himself. He was glorious and she wanted him. Here and now. But it would have to wait. “Mania- are you awake?” “yes” “Are you okay? You are very quiet and still?” She stands before him now then kneels down bringing her face closer to his. She looks into his eyes trying to decipher his thoughts and emotions. “yes” “I have thought about you each and every day since we have been apart. I…miss you.” Her eyes…her mouth…even her hair…beautiful. But the tembo..the templar…the blood…. She sits down now, looking at her clasped hands on her lap. Uncertain what to say. She finds it an odd feeling and not one she likes. “I wanted to talk to you about the other day. My parents are very protective. They meant nothing by it…none of it. I explained it to them. They will come around. You’ll see.” She looks up at him. Still lying on his stomach he moves his face away. “Your father wanted me dead. He hired help to kill me” “After this week, the Starlight Festival, I can show you how much I care for you…without reprisals. It is Nibenese law that once a couple has had union, either may have a concubine…a lover. I want you to love me Mania.” Mania becomes completely still. “what?!?” “The Shadow king and I will have our night of union during the festival. After that night, I am free to have another lover. I want you to be that lover.” “Concubine…. a sex slave?!?” A long pause as she is lost at why Mania has become agitated with her. She has never bared her heart this way. She feels weak and exposed. Why is he doing this to her? Why?!?! Mania sits up. Tears welling in his eyes. The pain is too great to contain. It is not his torn ribs but his heart that aches. He stands up quickly startling her. “You profess love but will not share it unless it is with a SLAVE?!? Is that what I am to you- a slave? A puppet? A plaything? I thank you for treating my wounds but I did not ask you to do it. Do not in the future. You Belong to the Shadow-King. You belong to Nibenay. You are a templar. You sicken me.

Her twisted emotional thoughts locked inside ...tormenting her. [/QUOTE]
