Prologue
Riannon smiled as she watched the sun set on their home. A lot had happened to the Gael clan. "It is so beautiful." She murmured thinking she was alone. "I must agree." A tall man with white hair and red eyes said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Oh! Lord Arawn, you startled me." Riannon said with a rather startled look on her face. "Forgive me, Riannon. I did not mean to scared you." His arm slid around her waist. "Of couse, my lord. I know that you did not mean to scare me. I was just admiring the lovely sunset." She said as she leaned into him. "It is lovely though itsn't it." Lord Arawn said with a smile on his face. It was one of the few times that they had been able to get a few moments alone.
Riannon giggled and nodded as she turned to face him. "I love watching the sun set. How is Arthur taking to his crown and all that comes with it?" Lord Arawn looked down at her and smiled slightly. "He is taking to it well. The people love him which is a good thing." Arwan said kissing her forhead. "This is the first time that he has shown me any affection. I do love him so." Riannon thought as her cheeks flushed lightly. "It is good that the people love him. They always have really." She replied to him as she put her head against his chest.
"Riannon," He began softly. "I love you." Riannon looked up at him with a large smile and kissed him softly. "I love you too, Lord Arawn." She said in a whisper. "Riannon, Lord is not needed. We are married, you remember." Arawn said with a wink. Riannon laughed lightly having not really thought about it. "I suppose that we ought to go and rest. It is getting rather late." She smiled as she took his hand in hers. Arawn shook his head from side to side, but walked with her to her room.
Riannon inhaled deeply as she put her hat in the spare chair. It was the first time that there had been any possiblities of passion between them. Arwan sat on the side of the bed in a state of need and uncertainty. Riannon slipped out of her shoes, tights, and gown before putting on pajammas. "Arawn, please become comfortable." Riannon said as she sat on the bed next to him. "You wish for me to stay with you tonight?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, I want you to stay with me tonight." Riannon said as she pushed his hair out of his face. Arawn without a second thought pulled her close to him, kissing her in a way that she had never imagined possible. Arwan unbuttoned her gown before taking it off and tossing it in to the chair. "You're so beautiful, Riannon." Arwan said as he kissed her neck. Her face filled not only with heat, but with color also.
Riannon wrapped her arms around Arawn's neck and fell back against the bed, pulling him on top of her. Their bodies felt as if they had errupted in flames as he entered her. Riannon gasped softly before he pressed his lips to hers as he slowly went deeper into her. Arching her back as their passion progressed.
~The Next Morning~
"Riannon?" Arawn whispered in her ear. "Mmm. Arawn?" She replied as she rolled to face him. "Are you alright?" He asked having realized that it was the first time that she had been loved in such a manner. "Yes, Arawn. I am fine." She smiled as she sat up and began to get her bath together before she went about her many chores. "Riannon? Are ya awake yet" A male voice called from outside her door. "Yes, Arthur. I am awake, but not ready for company. I will be out momentarily." She spoke as she sunk into the tub of hot water. "Is Arawn with you, sister?" Arthur asked some what concerned. "Yes, Arthur. He is in here. Why? Do you need him?" She replied beginning to get frustrated. "No, I don't need to speak with him as of yet. Limwris and Ermin have the table ready for breakfast. Don't be to long, Riannon." He said before he walked off to go downstairs to the dinning hall. After his coronation he was still looking after her. There were many others that would be more than willing to keep an eye on her for him, but he enjoyed doing so himself.
"Majesty, do you require anything?" A tall brunnett asked as he entered the dinning hall. "No, thank you Limwris. How are you and Ermin this morning?" Arthur asked truly curious. "Oh. Majesty, we are doing very well. Thank you and how are you?" Limwris asked as she placed the white china plates on the table. "I am well. Have you seen Morgan this morning?" He asked as he began to help her set the table. "Please, majesty. You don't have to do anything. Morgan is probably with Octavia, majesty." A short woman with pink hair said as she brought in a rather large fruit bowl. "Ah. Thank you, Ermin. I don't mind helping out a bit here and there." Arthur said with a smile. He didn't always enjoy the not having to do anything. He was so use to doing a lot of things on his own.
"Good morning Limwris, Ermin, brother." Riannon said as she walked into the dinning hall with Arawn holding her hand. "Riannon, good morning." Limwris and Ermin replied sweetly. "Good morning, dear sister." Arthur said with a smile. "Lord Arawn, good morning." Arawn smiled as he held a chair for Riannon next to her brother. "Good morning, Arthur." Arawn smiled as he took a seat next to Riannon. "Ermin, will you go and get Morgan and Octavia?" Arthur asked as he took his seat. "Of course, majesty." Ermin said before taking off to the training yard where she knew that both women were.
"Morgan?! Octavia?!" Ermin called as she walked to the training yard. "Morgan?! Octavia?!" Ermin looked at the empty yard. "This can't be good." She murmured to herself in fear that something may have happened to the two women. Ermin walked around the castle for about fifteen minutes when a woman scared her. "Ahhh!" Ermin screamed. "Ermin! It's me. Llyr." The woman dressed in blue spoke calmly. "Oh. I am so sorry Llyr. Have you seen Morgan and Octavia?" She repiled to the woman. "Umm. I thought there were in the training yard. They aren't there?" Llyr asked trying to be calm, though she could feel the tears filling up her eyes.
