Attraction

Udonna gasped as she felt the once familiar spark she had felt with Leanbow as Koragg grabbed her arm. She stared up at the Wolf Knight, wondering why his touch was so familiar and why it was awakening such a response.

The weeks passed, and, when she could, Udonna puzzled over this mystery. Finally, fed up, she snuck of Rootcore and hoped that Koragg would be on the surface. She wanted answers and Koragg wanted to be rid of any emotions—besides hate—toward the white sorceress.

Koragg watched as Udonna stepped toward him, pushing aside his shield. "Despite its roughness, your touch is so familiar to me. Why?" She asked the dark knight.

He shrugged and felt his heart beating wildly. He stared at her and his right arm slowly snaked along the sorceress's waist, pulling her even closer to him. Udonna bit her lip and he tilted her head upward and kissed her.

She responded to the kiss as Koragg tightened his grip on her. They pulled back and she stared into Koragg's eyes—it couldn't be, could it? After all, hadn't her husband died in the Great Battle? Or had he? "Leanbow?" She asked, her whole body shaking violently.

Koragg shook his head and said, "Leanbow is merely a memory. I am Koragg."

Udonna shook her and forced Koragg to look her in the eyes. "Please try to remember. It's me, your wife, Udonna. We love each other. Please, don't do this to us. Please, come home to me," she begged the Wolf Knight.

Koragg glared and Udonna buried her face against his chest and, crying, whimpered, "Please, Leanbow. Come back to me. Please. I need you home with me. Please. It hurts so much. Please, come home, my love, my wolf."

Koragg held her until she cried herself out and then sent her away. Udonna didn't tell any of the others what she had discovered about Koragg. She couldn't believe it herself.
