TO BE MATED 1418
Gabriella laughed. It was a kind, pleasant laugh. Ethan was sure she was laughing at him but there was no malice or disrespect in her laugh; it almost made him want to laugh with her."I can't tell the future silly." She said with a caring smile. "But my Lord can."He raised his eyebrow.She followed suit. "You can accept dragons, magic, and elves but not prophecy?""Well, uh, when you put it that way..."Gabriella held up her hands as if to say "see.""Okay, what's this prophecy?""Oh, it's notquite a prophecy." She corrected. "I said it was 'almost a prophecy'. Truth be told, it's more of an instruction about what my Lord wishes you to dowhen something happens in the future.""Okaaaay." He said, unsure what to make of that."One day soon, you will fight a deadly foe and emerge victorious. However, in your victory you will leave a lighting shaped scar over their heart. Don't let them die. No matter what happens, you must not let this deadly foe die. This person will be one of your gr

She flopped onto his chest, panting slightly."You know that's not how twins work right?" He panted.She shrugged and gave him a wink. "Couldn't hurt to try."*What happened to you?* he asked telepathically. *All of a sudden you're like a sex fiend.*Alana pecked him on the cheek, then slid off of him and retrieved her dress. *I have no idea, but I hope it never goes away. The topic used to make me uncomfortable, but now..." She glanced at the door and looked slightly sad. *It's a shame we don't have time for round three.*Ethan sat up and flicked on his disguise gem. Alana picked up her dress -- which thanks to the self-healing enchantment had repaired itself overnight -- and pulled it over her head. It wasn't until that moment that he realized Alana hadn't been wearing a bra or underwear the entire time he'd known her. Maybe the 'sex fiend' had just been a little repressed?"Come in." Ethan said at the door once they were both presentable.Rachel's flame red hair was attached to a v

Ethan looked at Alana and the wood elf's heart just melted. It wasn't so much him as it was the baby they'd created last night. She loved that a part of him had merged with a part of her to create life; a child. For some inexplicable reason, it really turned her on.*Not really the time...* He thought to her.*I know, I wasn't going to start anything it's just..." She put her hand over her womb. *I can't believe we did that together.**I know.* He got a huge dopy grin on his face, which was really cute to see."By Illuminar's name you didn't..." Rachel looked from Alana's hand on her stomach to the dopey grin on Ethan's face, then back to the wood elf. "You're not... are you?"Grinning so widely her cheeks almost hurt, the wood elf nodded.The redhead's mouth fell open; shock written all over her face before she squealed, jumped at Alana and gave her the biggest hug she'd ever received."That's amazing you two!" She said while doing her best imitation of a boa constrictor. Alana hugge

They walked to one end, where Gabriella stopped and looked around on the ground. "I know it's here somewhere... ah, there it is." The luminous woman reached down and pulled a short piece of a wood from the sand. It was about a foot long and looked like it had once been part of a spear shaft."Now, we need to bury this in the sand." Gabriella said.Beth groaned as she realized how long it would take her to move enough sand to bury the stick. Given her experience with the book, she expected it would take a few days."Don't worry, I'll help you." Gabriella said. She walked over to what seemed to be a very specific spot in The Arena before stopping. "We'll bury it here, with only an inch sticking above the sand.""Hmm." Beth mused as a thought struck her. "What would happen if I didn't help?" She then added hastily. "I'm going to, I'm just curious.""There would be..." The luminous woman paused, possibly for effect. "...grave consequences. But that is always your decision. My Lord would p

Alana slipped past Ethan and knelt in front of her with a kind smile. "We know; it's okay. You already said you're sorry and I can tell you are. We can talk more later, but time is tight and he need to hurry. Will you be okay until tomorrow?"Hailey nodded.After they left, Hailey resumed staring at the opposite wall of her tiny cell. It seemed impossible that someone in this God-forsaken world would be that noble. She allowed herself to hope that maybe, just possibly, she would escape with her life. She sat on the stone floor and tried to collect her thoughts. She went through several Yoga breathing exercises that Jason had taught her. Slowly, she began to calm down.Someone knocked on the prison door then it opened.The elderly fellow from the previous night -- who she just realized she hadn't gotten his name -- entered carrying a bowl full of disgusting looking soup and a pail of water."Was that your friend?" He asked. "The dragon you told me about last night?"She nodded."What d

"Yeah, we'll get along just fine." Ethan smiled.The dwarf harrumphed."Trust me." Ethan said. "Hailey killed the Magistrate's son just after she was technically given to me as a slave.""He freed her, but not legally." Alana interjected."Yeah, so now I need to fight a trial by combat in The Arena to prevent her from being executed. I need a new head made of Elven steel for my war hammer to make sure I win and Hailey survives."The Dwarf harrumphed again. "How do I know that's not a load of dragon shit?""Because I relieved myself before I came." Ethan rolled his eyes.Alana chuckled.Graflex stared at her for a few moments. "You have the look of an enchantress.""I am, or was. I used to grow some of the best staves for enchanting in the Ten Kingdoms."The dwarf narrowed his eyes. "What's the best way to ensure the mana flow is consistent along the entire length of the shaft?""Trick question." The wood elf replied. "Because you don't want the mana to flow evenly along the entire sha

Alana cocked her head to one side and stared into space for a moment, then said: "Ethan finally struck a deal. You still fun of mana and willing to lend me some?"Rachel checked her mana. She was brim-full of regular mana, which she could donate to help the wood elf do the necessary enchanting without forming any sort of bond.Her deep mana on the other hand...A large portion of her deep man was still comprised of what Ethan had given her. It felt very different than the rest. It was harder and somehow more solid; denser. It was like a rock that had sunk to the bottom of a pool. She tried to move it around but -- as before -- it wouldn't budge.It had definitely gotten smaller, but it was still nearly a quarter of her deep mana. She shrugged, happy to know it would be gone eventually. She didn't really like having a part of Ethan inside of her.Well, okay; she didn't exactly hate it.Ethan was a good man, but she wasn't interested. Even if he wasn't Alana's husband, he was a dragon.

By Alana's count, it had been one day shy of seven weeks since they had met. She couldn't believe what a huge part of her life he had become in that time. If someone had told her seven weeks ago what her life would be like right now, she wouldn't have believed them. And she was happy despite everything. Despite all the craziness, despite everything with Beth..."What's wrong?" He asked, obviously sensing her emotions."I miss Beth." She sat up to look at him. "I know things were rocky between us for a while but I really do miss her. I just can't believe she's gone.""Yeah..." He said, but trailed off."What?"He switched to telepathy. *I just have this funny feeling like... I don't know. I just find it so hard to believe that she's gone. And I don't mean like I'm having a hard time coping with her death; quite the opposite in fact. I just don't really feel like she's dead. Even saying that sounds... I don't know, wrong maybe?**But we both saw her... I mean, we were both there.**I kn
