PART 01 - The sister of Shota
Zedd and Shota are talking to each other for some time, and time on time, they look at Kahlan and Richard that are sitting on a log and waiting Zedd and Shota to finish their talking, then, they can return to their quest and find the Boxes of Orden.
Kahlan has been trying to read them, every move of them to know the truth, but she is failing because Zedd and Shota are using their magic to hide of hers this so important thing. "Why is this witch here?" Kahlan asks to Richard without taking her eyes off Shota. "Maybe they are talking about some way to get the Boxes of Orden faster," Richard says without stopping to clean his sword. But Kahlan knows something is wrong.
Darken Rahl is in his enormous throne's room, sitting comfortably on his throne, bored. His favorite Mord'Siths are not with him. Denna, Hally, Constance and Garen are hunting Jennsen, his half-sister. And Cara, Dahlia, Triana, Rikka, Hania, Solvig, Berdine and Raina are hunting Confessors in Valeria. They are away from him for three days and will keep away for more seven days.
He is smiling to himself with the thought of his Mord'Siths and what they are able to do about pain and pleasure. Suddenly, the air inside his throne's room changes and the warm climate from D'Hara becomes a freezing breeze, it touches his skin and he jumps at his feet looking into Shota's eyes.
She was running faster because her little sister was running behind her almost reaching her. They were on the street near the big market from Aydindril. Their mother, the Mother Confessor, came stepping slow. Their mother liked to do this, walking among her people without them realizing that she was the Mother Confessor. But the little girl Kahlan Amnell, the oldest daughter, ran into the legs of a beautiful and mysterious woman with long copper-colored hair, incredible turquoise eyes and white porcelain skin. Her luxurious black dress and the length of her hair said she was a noblewoman. Startled, Kahlan looked at the woman's eyes and shivered because that woman had no soul and the magic from hers surrounded Kahlan. And before the woman could touch Kahlan's should, Dennee shoved Kahlan, leaving her away from the woman, and both little girls entered running inside the big market.
The Mother Confessor, in seconds, was grabbing the shoulders of her daughters stopping them. "Who was that woman, Kahlan? And what she wanted from you?" With concern eyes, she stared at her oldest girl waiting Kahlan's answer. "I don't know but she had magic," was the only answer.
She was a beautiful and attractive woman, she could have who she wished but her choices were not so good. Men who she chosen to be her mate were not kind with her, but each one of them gave her one daughter. She had three daughters. If it were not a young Wizard apprentice Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander and his wife Erilyn help, she will be in no good situation.
She had magic, she was a sorceress with a strong Han, she was an apprentice like Zedd, but she really never liked of magic because she could not control it when she tried to use it, then she preferred to hide and forget it. But all her daughters were born with her stronger Han and she feared for them.
Her first daughter was daughter of a Seer Wizard who welcomed her in the Palace of the Prophets when she was a young apprentice, and it was there that she met Zedd at the first time. Later, with child, she ran away toward Agaden Reach. Her first daughter, Shota, was born and was raised there, but Shota had magic then, years after, she sent Shota to Zedd at the Palace of the Prophets, where Shota lived the most time of her life before returning to Agaden Reach.
Her second daughter was daughter of a Wizard of the First Order at a temple in Agaden Reach, when Neva was born, her older sister Shota was sent to Palace of the Prophets. But Neva was taken for her father toward the Old World in her first years of life and was raised there, she had a rigid education and had to hide her magic. She married a successful businessman having a only child, Nicci.
Her third daughter was daughter of a King. The King of Keorbsneoh or simply, Keor. After her second daughter Neva was taken toward the Old World beyond the South of the New World, she stayed in the Zedd and Erilyn's home for a time, recovering from the loss of her child. Then she followed toward the Unknown World beyond the North of the New World.
In some years, she met a prosperous and beautiful land, Keor. Some years living there, she met George II and they fell in love each other. And weeks before their wedding, she found out he was the King of Keor. They had a child, Mona and she was born with magic. Not any magic. Powerful magic.
It was costume in Keor to show the first red fluid of a girl, it was the beginning of her life because she was ready to breed. It was a celebration to the family and to the girl because she was becoming an adult. Fearing for her child - after Mona became an adult with her thirteen years old - she sent her third daughter like an apprentice toward a temple of the Asshai, nearby. And from this moment, her own life was in countdown.
Mona stayed in the temple for many years, and learnt everything about all type of magic and how to use it. At the eighteen years old, she became a healer. At the twenty-one years old, she became a witch. At the twenty-four, she become a sorceress. And the twenty-seven years old, she become a priestess. And stopped to age. Her beauty and youth stayed intact, the layers of time could not change her, only increase her power and knowledge.
Mona lived all her life on Asshai, at the temple with her friends, Melisandre and Marci. But with time, they went out to live their lives. Melisandre went to find the reborn Azor Ahai, and Marci was in love with the man who gave her a baby dragon but he was killed later, and Marci disappeared, being devastated with sorrow. Mona saw her, after decades, Marci was been known as Maleficent.
Mona went out from Asshai only when she became the Queen of Keor, after her parents died mysteriously. While a Queen, Mona had to learn about commanding, military strategy and diplomacy. All of this awoke inside her a selfish and powerful wish to own, then she made a deal with all authorities from Underworld to be the most powerful woman in the earth and own everything. But everything was not enough. And of course, there was a price, the blood of the thousands and thousands of innocent lives. Mona "died" and The Bloody Queen "lived". And from this day, when she lost her soul, she wore tight dresses always in dark colors, showing a desired neckline. She were a member of the Red Temple in Asshai, then, her body was a tool.
One day, when she was looking for her mother's jewelry, she found her mother's diaries. All life of her mother was told there - including the stories about her two older sisters, which she did not know about them - and about the strange and distant lands of the New and Old Worlds where her mother and sisters were born and live.
Mona was gifted with magic and all the time in the temple, she learnt all existing type of magic. But not one. The prophecy magic, about knowing the future. And only her older sister owns this and she would go toward it. She learnt that she and her older sister were from same mother therefore their Han had the same origin, then, she could absorb the magic of her sister like she absorbed the magic from her mother.
Mona had two unexpected skills of magic, a beautiful voice to singing and her flowing long copper-colored hair. Her voice and her hair were magic. Often, after the speech on her diplomatic meetings, the Queen always got what she wanted because she always gift her audience with a song. Her long hair, like if a breeze jounced them, paralyzed people and her voice threw the spell of induction that invaded the place. When the spell disappeared, it was late. The Bloody Queen owned what she had coming for.
The Bloody Queen had a ritual, using a turquoise gem - the Azur amulet - she always did it or the evil invaded her body for blood, she writhed with pain and her mind was invaded by torment.
After a century and many spells, she could find out where her older sister was and she learnt everything about her. And being there, in those distant lands of the New and the Old Worlds, she learnt about Darken Rahl and his Mord'Siths, Confessors, dreamwalkers, different creatures and many more. But besides her sister's magic, the power of the Boxes of Orden, and the Confessor's magic enchanted her immensely.
Kahlan and Richard have the Boxes of Orden, they are in front of each other surrounded by lights, Zedd is near. They are in a cliff and are going to complete their quest if it was not Darken Rahl and his Mord'Siths appear and fight for it. It is a hard battle. And Darken Rahl gets the Boxes of Orden and imprisons the Mother Confessor, the Seeker and the First Wizard, but she, with a Rada'Han on her neck. Darken Rahl smirks when he closes the gate of the dungeon in the People's Palace and walks escorted by four Dragon Corps soldiers. Shota was right, everything happened like provided. Now, his Mord'Siths are waiting him on his bedchamber.
In the dungeon, Kahlan, Richard and Zedd are in separated prison cells. Kahlan sat in the corner of her cell, her head between her hands, her elbows on her knees, her eyes closed and tears rolls freely. Richard is unconscious on the ground from his cell and Zedd is exhausted and wounded, looking at nothing.
"Lord Rahl..." a hoarse and low voice fills the air of the dungeon. Kahlan jumps on her feet and grabs the bars of her cell almost in Con-Dar looking at the blonde Mord'Sith suspended by chains attached to the ceiling, in front of Richard's cell. Kahlan is admired because the blonde is not dead after the painful and long torture which she was subjected because of her betrayal to Darken Rahl in favor the Seeker, earlier on the cliff. Kahlan cannot take her eyes off from wounds, bruises and scars over all Mord'Sith's body. But she does not know why a Mord'Sith tried to help Richard.
A freezing breeze invades the dungeon and Shota is standing up in the center of this. She looks at Richard and rolls her eyes, a simple movement of her index finger and the Seeker awakes up. A long groan goes out from Mord'Sith's mouth, and her body shakes with Shota's magic. "Cara!" Richard says perplexed and grabs the bars of his cell, then, he sees Kahlan at his right and his gaze is softened. It is when he listens Zedd's voice, in the cell at side, "tell all truth for them, it is the time." And Shota does. All of them hear her in silence.
"This is an absurd!" The Mother Confessor and the Mord'Sith speak at the same time, then they look at each other suspiciously. They are enemies, not partners. "You are the Lord Rahl, Richard, but she is a Confessor! I have no duty to her," Cara says calmly to her Lord Rahl, but her eyes are burning in fury. "This has to be like this, at least, until the Bloody Queen is dead," Shota says dryly. A perplexed Kahlan opens her eyes wide, "she is your sister!" and hears a chuckle, then she looks at the tortured and bleeding Mord'Sith, "it is life, Confessor."
Shota waves her left hand and Cara's iron chains crumble like ashes, but Cara is kept suspended on the air. "Stop it! Kill me or liberate me!" The Mord'Sith says loud, the death in her eyes. Kahlan shivers. On the floor, the Mord'Sith's body itches with Shota's magic, then the cells are opened and Richard runs toward Cara and put a blanket over her naked body. Cara was tortured by Mord'Siths in front of them to show them what could be made with them, if they do not cooperate. What Denna did to break Richard was less than one third whereof Cara resisted on the hands of her Sisters of the Agiels there.
"All of you must go, now!" Shota warns. Richard and Zedd embrace Kahlan, while the three of them exchange looks for a time in a silent farewell. Richard walks to his Mord'Sith, "keep Kahlan alive, protect her with your life as she were the Lord Rahl, Cara." Richard turns and nods to Zedd walking toward the gate of the dungeon, while the Mord'Sith says in a whisper, "but she is the Mother Confessor..." Richard turns around and looks into her eyes, "it is an order." Then he and Zedd go toward the Boxes of Orden and Kahlan stays with the Mord'Sith.
Shota comes close, and using her magic, passes her hands over Cara's body healing it and cleaning wounds, bruises and blood from her body. Cara shivers and sighs deeply. On her feet, Richard's blanket falls on the floor, and Kahlan blushes furiously at the sight of the naked Mord'Sith standing up proudly in all her glory. "You could put my leathers too, and do a complete work," Cara says putting her braid over her shoulder and absently smoothing it while looking for her leathers which are thrown on the floor, in the corner. Shota only stares at Cara and Kahlan is sure that Shota would cast a spell on the Mord'Sith, if that one could not to deflect her magic and use it against her.
The Bloody Queen went to Old World, see her family. Shota and Neva. Her older sister Shota was at the Palace of the Prophets, then she went to see her middle sister Neva and saw too, her baby niece Nicci.
Fury and contempt invaded the Bloody Queen's mind because her middle sister had despised her own magic just like her own mother had, she would deserve to die, but first, she would play with her, casting spells on Neva's husband and into Neva's mind while she would absorb Neva's magic little by little until her death.
When Nicci was growing and showing her magic, she thought it was the time to meet Shota, her older sister. Then, the Bloody Queen presented herself as Sister Alessandra, a Sister of the Light and with her magic voice, induced Neva to allow her to take Nicci to the Palace of the Prophets.
At the Palace of the Prophets, Shota was waiting her, she was a young woman, but her wise and experienced eyes said that her real age was enough different. Their copper-colored hair flowed on the air when they met at the first time. A duel from magic and power. The Bloody Queen felt a little bit of pride like her older sister flaunted her magic. But Shota did not speak. No one word. Only stares at her and at the little Nicci and disappeared on the air. There, she saw the young Wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander.
When the Bloody Queen arrived on the New World, it was like to return to her home in some way. There was magic there and she was comfortable there. With her mother's diaries, she walked all steps from her mother. She visited all places where her mother went and lived. And saw her mother's best friends, the now First Wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander and his wife, beyond a dozen decades, he was still good for his real age. Zeddicus had a daughter. She saw the death of Zeddicus' wife and the capture of his daughter.
Then, the Bloody Queen became Abby to learn more about Zeddicus, after all, he had helped her mother and she would spare his life. It was then, she knew the Confessors and their impressive magic. It was a so different and complex type of magic and also dangerous. She tried some time to be near the Confessors but they could read her and know her true intention. One day, when she learn enough, she would own Confessor's magic.
The Bloody Queen knew, too, the House of Rahl, Rahl family and their magic, their Empire and their Mord'Siths. She had a slight sympathy for Darken Rahl, he could be a good mate to father her children if she could be a mother.
The Mord'Siths. For her, the Rahl family has not only Wizards, but Genius Wizards. She was as fascinated as fearful about the Mord'Siths. And how a Rahl could control them by magic, if they are made to deflect or absorb magic and use it against who casted it. But too, she had a huge fascination how the Mord'Siths were trained and broken, and how the Mord'Siths could give pain and pleasure.
When the Bloody Queen learnt to hide her magic without the Mord'Siths could sense it, she become one Mord'Sith later, and she passed decades among Mord'Siths. After years there, the Bloody Queen was known, among the Sister of the Agiel, as Snake because a frightened little blonde girl called her like this, while she trained her.
Soon, when she found out about Darken Rahl's intentions - kill all Confessors - and he ordered his Mord'Siths to hunt them, then, he could study them and kill them later, the Bloody Queen became the Darken Rahl's Archwizard, like this, she could learn about Confessors and how she could own Confessor's magic.
When Kahlan Amnell was captured, she tried to remove Kahlan's magic but Kahlan entered in Con-Dar almost killed her. But her powerful Han saved her. The first time, in all her long life, she was very scared because she knew she could be killed. Then, she went to the Old World, recover herself, and when she were ready, she would return and would own what she came for. Shota's magic, the power of the Boxes of Orden and the Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell. She would absorb her Confessor's magic before killing her.
The Rada'Han on her neck itches, and time on time, Kahlan touches it like if she could release herself of this. A chuckle, "this journey is not so bad, I cannot inflict pain on you but I can enjoy when it is inflicted on you," Cara says ironically. The Mother Confessor stares at the Mord'Sith, if it were not Zedd, Shota and the sister of Shota, she would not be with this Mord'Sith. Alias, this Mord'Sith would have been dead by her already.
Kahlan shakes her head, she knew that something was wrong. Zedd and Shota did to happen all those things. They chosen a place and took she, Richard and the Boxes of Orden. They took Darken Rahl and his Mord'Siths to there. Using the power the Boxes of Orden, they sent Richard and Cara to the future only because the Mord'Sith should know that Richard, the Seeker, is the Lord Rahl. Therefore, the Mord'Sith would follow him. And the Seeker needs a Confessor. Then, only like this, Zedd and Shota could put side by side a Confessor and a Mord'Sith, two mortal enemies, without they kill each other.
Those two mortal enemies together, they could stop a powerful mad sorceress, well priestess, before that she catches the power of the Boxes of Orden and have the world for her. Shota went to Zedd when she saw the prophecy about the Bloody Queen. There will be a powerful force from the red fire, this will arrive and blood will be spilled, this will take the power of Orden and the world will succumb. And only the union of the pure heart in white and the courageous heart in red could defeat it.
Mord'Siths can deflect magic without dying by it and a courageous heart does what is needed without stepping back, even dying by it. This is the Mord'Sith Cara Mason.
Confessors has the power of love, their magic destroy all evil and a pure heart always believes. This is the Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell.
They rode for two days, camping at night only, they have to arrive at the Rang'Shada Mountains where Shota said her sister had made her small fortress. Shota had taken the Mother Confessor and the Mord'Sith to Agaden Reach by magic. Now, they are walking for hours after they left the horses at the basis of the Mountains.
Rang'Shada Mountains is a vast mountain and unknown creatures live there. The Mother Confessor and the Mord'Sith are walking in silence, because Kahlan prefers like this than hear the Mord'Sith's irony. And Cara notices the agony which the Mother Confessor is by keeping herself in silence.
Cara has the skill of hunting, which the Mother Confessor not, then Cara does it while Kahlan collects roots, vegetables, fruits, branches to the campfire and waits Cara with the meat to do their lunch or dinner.
The Mother Confessor walk some steps ahead from Mord'Sith, Cara prefers like this because she can protect her better and she has a good view the Mother Confessor's body in this beautiful Confessor's dress that the Mother Confessor always wears. Not that Cara likes dresses, but this dress in Kahlan Amnell is perfect. When she saw the Mother Confessor carved on the marble, over her tomb in the future, Cara felt something different inside her - feelings and emotions - "things" that she thought she had lost forever. Now, seeing Kahlan Amnell alive, she was intoxicating.
Kahlan senses when the Mord'Sith is staring at her. At first, this disturbed her so much, but after twelve days, she is used to it, because she knows the Mord'Sith will not do anything against her. Mord'Siths are loyal to their Lord Rahl and what he orders they fulfill.
"You called Lord Rahl to Richard and he called you by your name. In the dungeons. I asked to him why, and Richard told me about when he and you went to the future," Kahlan tells to the Mord'Sith. Suddenly, Kahlan asks, "what Richard did to you believe him?" and Cara looks at her, speechless, and frowns her brows. Kahlan turns around her head and sees a thoughtful Mord'Sith looking at her, but not seeing her. When the Mother Confessor smirks and ducks her head, the Mord'Sith speaks in a serious tone, "he showed me the truth. What Darken Rahl was able to do and what he would do." Quickly, Kahlan stares at the Mord'Sith, looking into Cara's eyes and sees something new there, this softens Kahlan's heart, at least, a little.
Kahlan and Cara are entering in the most wild part of the Rang'Shada Mountains. If they get to go out from there alive, they will meet the sister of Shota according to Shota's coordinates.
Kahlan knows somewhere there is a hot pond, they are days without bathing. And before sunset, they find it. Cara sees the huge smile on the Mother Confessor's face and this warms her heart. But Kahlan sees when the corner of the Mord'Sith's mouth moves like if she were smile, and when the Mord'Sith's eyes show that little sparkle again while seeing Kahlan's joy.
Cara starts to undress quickly. When Kahlan sees the Mord'Sith undressing herself, her stomach stirs softly, it seemed when some Night Wisps walked over her stomach and this tickled. But this time, this internal tickle extends until between her legs. Then Kahlan goes out quickly. Already naked, Cara turns her head toward the spot where was the Mother Confessor and sees nothing. A strong pain squeezes her heart and in less than a heartbeat, she is looking for the Mother Confessor with her agiel on hand.
Cara finds the Mother Confessor standing up and looking at nothing, distracted for some thought. Cara rolls her eyes, "Mother Confessor?" Kahlan jumps on her feet, startled, she had been trying to know why her body were reacting in this way and so quickly, with the thought of seeing Cara's naked body.
When she turns around and sees a naked and worried Mord'Sith, time stops. A muffled and distant voice is speaking to her something which she does not understand. Her mind and her eyes are just focused in scanning the shapely body of the Mord'Sith. "Are you ok? Did you see something?" Cara asks again and touches on the Mother Confessor's arm. The entire body of Kahlan tenses. And quickly, Cara removes her hand from Mother Confessor and steps back, holding her agiel firmly.
Kahlan goes out from her momentary trance looking into Cara's eyes, "I will be fine, only...I...needed to breath." Cara stares at the Mother Confessor, frowning her brows, and Kahlan ducks her head, "I would be going to the pond soon, Cara." Cara opens her eyes wide, it was the first time the Mother Confessor calls her by her name. Then she nods and returns to the pond. Shamelessly only because Cara cannot see it, Kahlan stares at Cara's backside, her muscular legs and how her hip moves sensually when she walks.
Cara gazes at the Mother Confessor's full breasts when she comes toward the pond, unconsciously Cara spreads her legs, and the tip of her fingers massage the sensitive spot between her legs. She closes her eyes to hide from Mother Confessor her weakness, and enjoy the fondling while touching herself.
When Kahlan enters on the pond, Cara is relaxed and leaned in a large stone in the middle of the pond, her eyes are closed. Only Cara's head is out of the water. Then again, that internal tickle makes her shiver, Kahlan dives into the pond.
The pond is fantastic, its hot water is relaxing, but deep, she cannot touch the ground. Then Kahlan swims, leaving the hot water massaging her entire body. She does it some time. But all time, Kahlan's eyes goes toward the still Mord'Sith. She looks around but the only place to be inside the pond and really relax, it is where the Mord'Sith is.
Kahlan sees that Cara is breathing deeply when she is approaching from her. "Something wrong?" Kahlan asks. When Cara opens her eyes, looking right at Kahlan's eyes, her pupils are dilated, she shakes slightly and a low groan goes out from Mord'Sith's mouth. "Ok! I will be quiet, I do not want to disturb your resting." Kahlan says and goes to find a comfortable spot to stay. Cara just stares at the Mother Confessor, narrowing her eyes, and leaving her body and mind recovering from her little orgasm.
The spot where the Mother Confessor is accommodated, with her eyes closed, leaves out of the water, her full breasts and her outstretched arms resting over the stone.
Cara is speechless, open-mouthed, staring at the Kahlan's full breasts, it seems they are calling Cara's name and begging by her touch. Her fingers starts to caress her sensitive spot again. Cara licks her lips, her tongue is itching to touch the Mother Confessor's pale nipples.
A loud noise like if something had dived into the pond, it startles both women, they look each other, questioning silent about the loud noise. They looks around to find what caused the noise. A giant snake, its bright orange eyes gazing at Kahlan and the snake comes toward her, Cara put herself in front the Mother Confessor to protect her. And almost Cara has other orgasm when the Mother Confessor embraces her from behind, squeezing their bodies together. But soon, she realizes that the Confessor is shaking in fear.
Cara looks around and finds branches only, then she catches it anyway. But feeling the Mother Confessor's body rubbing against her back is distracting. Cara tries to focus in the snake, but the more the snake is near of them, the more Kahlan tightens Cara's body, and makes low groans near Cara's ear. Cara closes her eyes and leaves her mind off from her body. Then she opens her eyes again, and her focus, it is the giant snake that is coming very close.
The snake gets up and opens its mouth like if she were eat Cara and Kahlan by entire, it gets down toward them.
In the last seconds, Cara uses all her strength to push Kahlan away from the snake, then she jumps toward Kahlan. The snake's sharp teeth scratch Cara's shoulder before that the snake dives into the stone. Cara dives into on the pond, touching and taking the Kahlan's body with her, and Kahlan embraces Cara again. Their breasts rub each other, their legs and arms interweave. When the snake passes by them, slowly and probably wounded, Cara catches a dry branch again and buries it inside snake's eye. Cara's other arm is embracing the Mother Confessor's waist, holding her firmly against her side and keeping her away from snake.
The snake leaves, going away from them. And Cara finds herself, holding the Mother Confessor which has her legs embracing the Cara's hips. Cara leans against the large stone to balance herself and adjust the Mother Confessor on her arm, her hand stays between the Kahlan's thigh and her backside to better to hold her. But Cara hears a low gasp, when the sensitive spot between the legs of the Mother Confessor is squeezed firmly against the bone of her hip.
Cara shivers at the thought of making the Mother Confessor aroused. Cara does not looks at her, but she senses that the Mother Confessor is staring at her. Then, Cara walks toward the verge of the pond, still holding Kahlan against her, and Cara feels the soft clit of the Mother Confessor being rubbed against her hip bone while she is walking. And in each step, she hears the low sighs coming from of the woman on her arm. Suddenly, the Cara's whole body is sensitive to the entire touch of the pale milky skin and warm body against her. Cara has her head down, but time on time, she looks at the rhythm of rising and falling of the full breasts touching her shoulder. And she feels the muscles of the strong arms around her neck and shoulders, clenching in every second.
Out of the water, Cara looks at the Kahlan's eyes and they are almost all black. Slowly, Kahlan stretches her legs and her feet touch the ground, but she doesn't take her eyes off from Cara. They stay like this, feeling the rising and falling of their breasts against each other. Kahlan with her arms around Cara's neck, and Cara with her arm around Kahlan's waist. Their eyes keep contemplating the beautiful faces from each other. But again, they are disturbed by sounds coming from dense forest.
Kahlan and Cara look for their clothes, and after dressed, they walk for hours in the dark. In silence.
When they stop, they has found a good shelter to rest. Each one has their bedrolls in opposite sides from campfire as always they did.
Kahlan cannot stop of thinking of Cara and how much she has been intimate with the Mord'Sith in less than one month. And Cara was her enemy. With Richard, her friend and partner of journey, their first kiss was after three months that they were together. Well, she had not kissed the Mord'Sith, but earlier, it had been close to happen. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, she had never been attracted for Richard like she is being for Cara. The closeness of Cara makes her aroused. The contemplative gazes from Cara toward her makes her aroused. The naked body of Cara makes her aroused. The movement of Cara's hip when she walks... quickly, another thought of Cara comes to Kahlan's mind ...that moment earlier on the pond... Kahlan moans, remembering the pleasure of rubbing her clit on Cara's hip bone. But as fast as her thoughts crossing her mind, it is Kahlan's clit, throbbing totally aroused.
Cara is trying to sleep without thinking of Kahlan, but she is failing miserably. Her body keeps still feeling the warmth of Kahlan's body, her nose keeps the smell of Kahlan, the hand keeps the softness of Kahlan's skin, her ears keeps the sound of Kahlan's mouth... and she hears a Kahlan's moan... quickly, Cara opens her eyes and listens, but after a time, Cara thinks it was a sound of the forest only. Kahlan is really intoxicating her deeply. Cara sighs. Then Cara looks at the woman who is changing her, inside out. She is feeling so much different feelings, which Cara thought she was not able to feel them again. She thinks Richard was right, there is still that little girl inside her with all feelings and emotions, she needs just allow herself to feel them again. And the Mother Confessor is doing this so easily, doing Cara to feel again.
Kahlan squeezes her legs against each other, trying to stop the increasing sensation in her sensitive spot. She turns around and sees bright green eyes staring at her. She sighs at the sight of the gorgeous Mord'Sith bathed by the brightness of the fire. "Cannot you sleep, Confessor?" Cara's voice fills the air. They stares at each other, and many minutes later, Kahlan answers, "no". Then, Cara stands up, and put her bedroll next to the Kahlan's bedroll. Slowly, she lies down, always looking at the Confessor. Kahlan turns around and snuggles herself against Cara and sighs. Cara's nose are buried in Kahlan's hair and she closes her eyes, feeling the Confessor's back against her front, she puts her arm around Kahlan's waist. And the Confessor holds her hand, then both women fall asleep quickly.
