Gypsy
A year had gone by since stepped into that mushroom circle, I look back at myself when I first came here. I was alone, naïve, and I lost my family in a sense. Now… well I'm less naïve, but I'm not alone, I have so many friends, and last night I had just started my new family.
It was a simple wedding, my husband…. Hmm That's gonna take some time getting used to calling him that, sorry I'm starting to stray. That's how Valkyon like things, simple. Just a few guests, A few members of the light guard It's Leader Miiko. Both leaders of the Shadow and Absynthe Guard, Nevra, and Ezarel. We Were married under the Cherry tree. Three cords of burgundy gold and ivory were knotted around our joined hands binding our lives together.
"Before I proclaim you joined you must kiss three times on cue. Once for luck, Twice for Love and Thrice for Long life." Leiftan said as he untied the cords.
I stood up on my tip toes so Valkyon didn't have to bend down so far to kiss me. Each kiss soft and gentle, except for the last one. The last one was deep and passionate I could feel every ounce of love her was pouring into that kiss.
When I woke up the next morning I woke up in a bed covered in different colored pelts, and a large arm draped across my chest. I ran my fingers along one of the many silver scars that cover his forearm. My cheeks flushed remembering what had happened a couple hours ago in this bed. Our marriage was officially complete.
I turned my head back to look at Valkyon who was still sleeping. Craning my neck, I kissed him. Slowly his eyes fluttered opened, a wide sleepy smile spread across his face. He pulled me closer to him, pressing me into his chest.
"Good morning, Wife." His voice was husky and dry. He placed and hand against my cheek.
"Good morning Husband." I closed my eyes pressing my face into warm hand.
"How was…." Valkyon couldn't finished his sentence.
My eyes snapped opened. His face was as red as the ruby gem on the Obsidian guard's crest. I giggled as I watched him choking on his question.
"Last night was wonderful." I explained
"I didn't hurt you, did I?"
"Like I said It was wonderful, you were wonderful-"
"You were loud!" A voiced called on the other side of our door.
"Nevra you Pervert! Get away from here!" I screamed, throwing a pillow at the door.
"What did that poor innocent pillow ever do to you?" He asked.
"What do you want?" Valkyon asked.
"Sorry to bother the Lovigis, but Miiko asked for you Valkyon, she's in the Crystal room waiting for you." Nevra said.
Valkyon dropped his head in the crook of my neck, and shook his it. The loose strands of his hair that fell on my cheeks tickled. I patted the crown of his head before pulling the covers off both of us. I unsuccessfully tried getting out of bed, but Valkyon heavy arm wasn't about to let me go.
"Come on you know how Miiko gets if you keep her waiting." I urged.
"I know, but you are not allowed to leave this bed until I get back, as soon as I'm done We're going to continue last night." He stated He didn't blush this time.
"That's awfully bold of you to say, and without a single stutter. I'm impressed." I smirked.
"When you want something you've never had then you have to do something you've never done." He said.
"Yet, you've already had it." I replied.
"I'm selfish." He shrugged. "I want it again. I want it as many times, as I can have it."
"Hey I'm still here." Nevra called from the other side of the door. I pulled on an opaque black dress and stormed towards the door. With the pillow, I threw at the door, in my hand, I flung open the door and started beating Nevra with it.
"Stupid Pervert get out of here!" I screamed
"Valkyon! Control your wife!" Nevra called pretending to be hurt by the pillow.
"I stand behind my wife's decisions. If she wants to beat you with a pillow then she for must have good reason for it." He said as he stood in the door way for our room, fully dressed. I'll never get over how quickly he can get all his armor on. He made his way over to the both of us and grabbed me by the waist, and pulled me away from, Nevra faking unconsciousness.
"Ok That's enough, look you've killed him..." He said. "…What should we do with the body?" Valkyon asked.
"I say we burn it. I'm sure I have a flint in the room somewhere." I said grabbing Nevra's wrist and struggled to pull him down the hall.
"You Absynthe girls are all the same, no brains, no brawn." Nevra said still playing dead.
"Dead things don't talk. And they feel no pain either." I said kicking him in the leg as hard as I could.
"Ouch! Geez Gypsy, that wasn't very nice." He said rubbing his side.
"Either is eavesdropping on a newlywed's marital bliss." I said giving up on dragging him.
Valkyon laughed as he walked into the Crystal room.
