First Baldur's Gate story. I have been a big fan of the game, still am. Anonymous reviewers welcome. Just remember. No trolling or spamming. I just delete, no that's not a challenge.
Enjoy...

A fresh breeze blows through the high platforms of the city of Suldanessellar. A dwelling of immortals and gods alike. So far above from the toil and strife of the pathetic mortals far below.
The large bulging red sun in the sky lowers behind the eternally green sea of trees. The lanterns in the streets begin to glow like magical fireflies as the birds of the night begin to sing.
Joneleth pulls his robes closer around his muscular body. His long blonde hair flows in the cool spring breeze. He stands on a platform overlooking much of his city home. He watches as the Elven inhabitants go about their business. Soldiers clad in silver and gold chainmail stroll through the streets, calm and happy without too many cares. Nothing could touch them here.
His eyes flash to the Elven Palace, home of the queen. A large majestic building radiating powerful energies as if taunting him.
He lets his gaze fall to the dark depths far below. He looks into the darkness with contempt. No. There was no failure; soon not even the gods could stop him; but such thoughts! So dark, Dangerous even, to let linger for too long.
He loves his home but is frustrated. So frustrated with Elven ways and Elven rules. He wants more, more power, more freedom. Easily being the most powerful mage in Faerun: Where's the challenge anymore? Why should he be denied what is his birthright? To be restricted by his kin, why? Out of fear.
"A little late to be out, don't you think...Brother?" An amused voice calls out softly from the shadows behind.
Joneleth wheels round quickly, glaring at the intruder of his solitude. "Bodhi...You startled me..." He says after a moment, softening.
Bodhi smiles, brushing her jet black hair off her face. "I have always been able to sneak up on you" She says seductively with a smile to match.
Joneleth frowns. Bodhi slips past him like with feline grace. She takes a place next to him on the platform looking over the whole of Suldanessellar. "Enjoying the view?" She asks casually
"No...I am not enjoying the view. I burn Bodhi...I burn for more power. I want more...but...I know I should not." Joneleth says coldly, solemnly looking over the enchanted city.
Bodhi studies the wizard carefully with her dark eyes. "Then you have thought on my...plan?" She asks, watching him carefully. There is a pause. Joneleth casts a troubled look to the palace before answering.
"…Yes" he states, his features turn as blank and cold as unreadable canvas.
Bodhi lets a wolfish smile escape from her perfect composure. She looks beautiful in the light. Her dark hair and eyes. Her soft pale skin, her slender curvaceous body. There was something about her. Her fire, her fierce ambition maybe. Irenicus did not know which drew him most.
"I am impressed brother. I began to doubt you had it in you" She says provocatively.
Irenicus steels himself. He feels a fury burn inside of him. She always had a way with him but he lets it go, she is right after all. "I will take power because I can, because it is my birth right." He says, pausing.
"When the time comes sister. None will stand in our path!" He hisses, turning to face her. Bodhi squeals in delight.
He looks at her, he feels a forbidden yearning. Irenicus raises his hand slowly to the wispy lantern near by. Its blue magic slowly fades, everything goes dark.
He feels Bodhi move closer to him. Her body heat and her scent of exotic flowers are intoxicating. He allows his cool lips to brush against her ripe red lips as luscious as fresh strawberries.
Soon the intense passions are overwhelming. The sensations far greater that anything any mortal has ever felt. The secrecy and depravity, exciting and fresh. Irenicus pulls away from Bodhi but she advances. Kissing his neck furiously, her tongue tracing down his body.
He looks down into the dark abyss below the lofty city "It's a long way to fall..." a voice whispers grimly in his head.
"What is the matter, brother?" Bodhi says breathlessly, pausing for a moment.
"Nothing... Soon all we can dream of will be ours" Irenicus says devoid of emotion.
The pair continues their forbidden passions in the darkest corner of the high city of Suldanessellar. Lost forever; with no hope of return.

Thanks for reading! I love your reviews so please leave them! Good or bad I don't mind as long as they are honest.
I think we can all agree there is something weird going on between Irenicus and Bodhi. It is never stated exactly what their relationship actually is. Anyway. If you like, let me know and I will write chapter 2 of this dark tale...
