Once upon a midnight. The storm was setting up and the wind blew against the windows. Softly whispering of an early winter to come. The room was lit by a few candles, giving the room a grim look.
"Darkness shall arrive soon, my king," the servant spoke.
A pair of eyes, glistering in the dark looked up to the servant.
"I know this, yet there is no escape to it. We can only arm ourselves and prepare for what is to come."
"Should I prepaid the men then, Lord?"
The King gave a slight node and gave the servant permission to leave. He wondered what he could do about the darkness. He knew that there was nothing to stop it from falling over the kingdom. Thinking about this he fell asleep. Dying people on the streets, screams from women and children, men who were slaughtered in the most cruel ways, invades his dreams. Darkness forever. Covered in sweat he woke up from his nightmares. Only to see that he had fallen asleep in his armchair. He felt more awake than ever, not able to sleep he decided to wander the castle. Candlelight lit him on his way. The light glooming over the drapes, which were covering the walls, gave a creepy look to it. His heart led him the way, to his destination, while his head was somewhere else.
I awoke to the sound of a soft knock on the door. "Come in," I mumbled, too tired to look who it was. I felt the mattress shift, from the weight of this person's body. A warm breathing in my neck and then a kiss. "I can't sleep," a whisper came out of the darkness.
"I can, so let me sleep."
"Can I stay here for the night?"
"Sure, but don't try to wake me again."
The covers lifted and I felt a body pressing against mine. It felt nice and so warm, seconds later I fell asleep. Morning light shone in my eyes, waking me. I closed the curtains last night, now did I? I remarked a shadow sitting in front of the window. His arms tightly wrapped around his legs and his head resting on them. His gaze fell on me, the moment I climbed out of bed. "Slept well?"
"Yes, my King," I answered, making a bow.
A smile danced on his lips. "You don't have to be so formal when we are alone."
"I know, I only wanted to see you smile. I has been days since the last time you smiled."
"There has been no time to smile for me," he sounded very serious. I walked over to him and kisses his soft lips, at the same time wrapping my arms around his form. I deepened the kiss, asking permission to enter by licking his lips. "Corner." He stopped the kissing immediately. "Did I do something wrong," I heard myself ask.
"No. I just can't." He took a deep breath before he spoke again. " Not now at least."
"Tell me what is on your mind."
He nodded and told me the whole story, about the coming darkness and how he feared for the fate of the kingdom.
The throne room was filled with a noisy crowd. People packed together, all waiting for the king to arrive. I decided to dress up in my armor today, just because it felt more like it suited the situation.
The King entered the room and the crowd went wild. He walked casually to the throne. Once seated, he shushed the crowd. His voice filled the entire room. "People of Albion, within a year a dark shadow shall fall over this kingdom, covering it into darkness. We have not yet discovered how to defeat this darkness. And therefore I am not able to guarantee your safety." The crowd started to shout questions and a few threw things at him. "How should we protect ourselves then?" "How can we survive without the help of the army?"
I stepped forward trough the crowd.
"I shall bring the darkness to its knees, even if that means that I need to die for it, for I shall protect Albion and its people."
All eyes were turned at me. The King's face was turned into one of shock and horror. In his eyes I could read 'don't do this to me'. I love him, and I would never want to hurt me, but I would honestly give my life for that of the lives of the people of Albion. Even if that meant that I could never see him again. He seemed to understand and he spoke up again. "Then so shall it be, Corner, knight of Albion. Tomorrow you will leave on your journey to the land of the darkness."
The crowd sheered, knowing that they would be protected and that the darkness would never come to Albion. But I was not so sure of that, I hoped that I could protect them, the kingdom and my King.
Soft lips, a warm tongue danced around mine. I felt aroused. His body pressed against mine, once again, just like we used to do. I hoped that this dream never stopped, but this was no dream, this was reality and way to soon it would stop. "I love you," he spoke those words so lovely in my ear, that I could cry. I would never forget those words, never. He stroke my cheeks with his hands, then my hardened nipples and then my arousal. I longed for his touch, his caresses. More kisses, making me wet all over. "Logan," I screamed when I came, just a few minutes after he had entered me. This could be our last time together, making love to each other all night long. I loved him with all my heart.
