A Tale of Dragons: Tanz do Iiz ahrk Yol
Chapter: 10
A taste of devouring rush
She is the Dovahkiin, the Dragonborn. Leader of the infamous Thieves Guild and Archmage of the Collage of Winterhold, Thane in five holds, Nightingale, Slayer of the World Eater, Vanquisher of all evil, Savior of the people. She is…Currently surrounded by little pink moths.
"Pah." Khara spat as a moth came a little too close to her mouth. She moved her head to the side in an attempt to get the damn moths out of her face, but it was no use. I fucking hate you, she said in her mind as she glared a moth that landed on her nose. Khara's eyes turned to the side when she heard angelic laughter, it made her forget all about the little pink insects that was flying around her.
"Oh, they seem quite taken to you now that you're carrying some of the tree bark." Serana said amused as she smiled at Khara. Oh, how she wished that she could draw at point. This memory is one she would never forget, never. Seeing Khara like this, losing to some pink little moths was quite the sight.
"Damn moths, how many do we need?" Khara asked with a desperate voice. "I can't take this for much longer." She whined as she waved her hand in front of her, damn things liked her face alright.
"I don't think we need much more, unless my vison is playing tricks, there seems to be some sort of magical effect around you, this might be what Dexion mentioned." Serana said as her eyes roamed Khara's form.
"Alright, let's get back to the tree, I think there was some more moths over there." Khara started to walk over to the middle of the cave with little minions following her every step. Serana snorted at the sight, the moths were acting like Khara's shadow at this point. The wolf only groaned in annoyance as they walked over to the middle. There was another swarm of moths there and in the second Khara got close, they flew towards her and joined their fellow moths as they too flew around the wolf's head.
The moths stopped moving around for a moment and in that moment a light appeared right next to them, to the side of the tree. Khara's eyes met Serana's. "I think this is what we were waiting for." Serana said.
"I think you're right." Khara moved over to stand in the light, the moth being a little more respectable when it came to personal space this time. Serana placed the Scrolls at Khara's feet as Khara got her own Scroll off her back and held in in her hands. She let out a little sigh. "Okey." She said. She looked up and met orange eyes. What if? She asked herself, they didn't know what would happen during or after she had read the Scrolls, there was no way to tell what would happen.
"Nervous?" Serana asked with an understanding look in her eyes and a small smile at her lips.
Khara's eyes looked deeply into Serana's. She then took a step closer to the vampire and nodded as brought her lips up against cool ones. She closed her eyes an inhaled the woman's scent. Serana's eyes were to forced shut as he brought a hand up to Khara's cheek. The kiss was sweet and loving, it made them both feel that amazing electric feeling travel though their bodies. Khara broke the kiss and placed on more on Serana's cheek before taking a few steps back as she bit her lower lip. Please let me do that again, she begged to anyone who would listen.
She brought the Scroll up in her hands and just before she was about to start reading she looked at Serana one last time. "Zu'u lokal hi." She said in a low voice. Serana's eyes started back at her. "I love you." She said with as much emotion as possible and Serana's eyes widened as Khara moved her eyes down to the Scroll in her hands. She then read the first letter and a bright light appeared, swallowing everything in the cave, the only thing she could see was the Scroll and its letters. She could hear a faint whisper.
With the power of old that you behold, the secrets of the Scrolls shall now be yours.
With the blood of a daughter and the bow of a god, the eye of the dragon will be gone for all.
To the Reach your eyes must seek a cave of old, forgotten to most, but not to all.
In the lost and hidden cave, you shall be guided by a mer of ice.
He will guide you path ahead, follow his words to the gates.
Walk inside the temple of old and Auriel's bow shall at last be yours.
The voice faded away as it repeated the last sentence over and over again in Khara's mind. Her eyes widened as she felt all the air in her lungs disappear and darkness clouded her vision as she fell to the ground. The only thing she felt before she drifted into unconsciousness was the wet ground beneath her and a hand on her cheek.
Wake up damnit, Serana looked at the woman lying in her arms. This is Riften all over again, she said in her mind. What if she… "No." She mumbled to herself as her grip on her wolf tightened. Khara was going to wake up, she had to. Serana could hear the wolf's heartbeat and the intake of air, Khara's body sounded fine, but who knew what the Scrolls had done to her. Serana was worried, to say the least. After Khara's little confession, her skin tone had turned to a sickly pale one and only a second after that, the wolf had fallen to the ground, unconscious.
And that is what happened, Khara still hadn't woken up. It had maybe been twenty, thirty minutes now? But for Serana I felt like hours and for very minute that passed another though of worry invaded the vampire's mind. Serana brought a hand up to Khara's cheek and caressed it while her eyes roamed the cave. The entrance might be hidden, but she was worried that somehow someone or something might find their way in. Her eyes continued to search the area, looking for anything when she felt a warm hand over her cold one. Serana whipped her head back to look at the wolf. Khara's brows was a little furrowed before she opened her eyes.
Khara blinked her eyes a few times before she could see clearly and what she saw made her smile right away. Sitting above her was the woman that she had so many feeling for, the women she would do all kinds of crazy things for, like reading Elder Scrolls. It was the woman she loved, the one she had confessed her love to.
"Hey." Khara whispered as she closed her eyes.
Serana let out a nervous laugh as she pulled Khara into a hug, a loving embrace. "Hey yourself." She whispered back into the wolf's neck, her voice trembling a little as she spoke. Khara brought her arms around Serana and returned the hug. Serana sighed as all the worry that were in her mind faded away. "You need to stop doing this." Serana said with a smile as her eyes turned watery. "Passing out and all, you keep scaring me." Serana chuckled.
Khara laughed as she hugged Serana tighter. She sniffed as she felt little tears appear in her eyes, tears of joy. "Oh, this is pretty emotional, huh?" She said with a chuckle. She felt Serana nod her head.
"Yeah, it is." Serana laughed back. "I don't even know why I'm laughing, relief I guess?" Serana released Khara from her embrace and looked at the woman who was smiling at her, eyes a little watery. "You stupid woman." She said as she brought her hands up to Khara's cheeks and kissed her deeply. Khara smiled into the kiss and hummed, Serana herself couldn't help but smile. It felt like the weight on her chest was finally lifted of her, she could breathe with ease once again.
They broke the kiss and rested their foreheads against each other. "As eventful as that was, I know where we have to go, sort of." Khara said in a low voice.
Serana looked at her. "Where to?"
Khara opened her eyes and looked into orange ones. "The Reach, there is a cave there somewhere that we need to find. The Scrolls said something about a bow, Auriel's bow. I think that is what we need to stop this stupid prophecy once and for all. We need to get that bow."
Serana nodded as she brought her head away from Khara. "Okey, but how do you feel? You went as pale as the snow there for a moment." She asked as she looked at her wolf.
Khara took a moment to look herself over as she moved her fingers and everything in between down to her toes, everything seemed to be fine. Okey, good. Everything works as it should. Khara nodded and she looked at Serana. "I feel fine, just a little dizzy is all." She said with a smile.
Serana nodded and stood up as she slowly helped Khara to stand as well. "Just take is easy, okey?" She said as she looked the wolf over one more time. Khara nodded as she bent down to pick up the Scrolls, Serana took two off of her before they started walking slowly towards the cave entrance.
"We need to get these back to Paarthurnax." Khara said as she nodded to the Scrolls.
"Yeah, I agree. I can't think of a safer place to be honest." Serana said with a smile.
Khara turned her head and looked at Serana. "We'll get Odahviing to get us there, after that I think it would be best if we used the horses." Khara said and Serana nodded.
They walked outside the cave and walked down the maintain where there was place of Odahviing to land. Khara looked to the skies and inhaled. "OD AH VIING!" The shout echoed off of the mountains and traveled in all directions. A roar could be heard and to the east they spotted a red form in the skies flying towards them.
"Are you sure you don't need my wings, Briinah?" Odahviing asked one last time. He knew why Khara would want to travel on the ground in the Reach. The terrain was twisted, shaped in all sorts of different ways, spotting a cave from above would be very difficult, if not impossible.
"Geh, we'll be fine, I believe the cave we're looking for is well hidden. Being on horseback would be the best in this situation." Khara said as she placed a hand on his snout. "Besides, Paarthurnax said that there were some dragons causing trouble to the north-east, you have work to do, zeymah." Khara said with a little grin, she knew that Odahviing liked to fight other rogue dragons, or anything really, he just liked to fight in general.
The red dragon nudged her with his snout before taking a step back. "It would seem so, bel zu'u briinah, summon me if you need me." He said as he looked at the two. "I look forward to our ruz grind, our next meeting." He said to the both of them, Serana smiled while Khara nodded to him. He then left the two to descend the mountain. Their horses should still be in Ivarstead, hopefully Wilhelm had managed to keep them in good shape since they left them there.
They walked up to the inn and saw their horses being brushed by a man, Klimmek. He turned to the two and smiled. "Hey, Wilhelm is out on a little business trip to Riften." He said as he moved around the horsed to greet them. "I have been watching out for these fine steeds for a day now." He said with a smile. Ever since Khara had helped him with getting some supplies up to High Hrothgar and some advice about a lady that he liked, Klimmek had seen Khara as a good friend. He looked back at the horses. "They're ready to go." He said as he grabbed a rag and cleaned his hands.
"Great, thank you." Khara gave the man a little something for the job he had done.
"Thanks, I'll make sure Wilhelm gets his half when he returns." He said as he leaned back against the wall of the inn.
"Good man." Khara said with a little smile, Klimmek waved to them before walking into the inn. Serana and Khara mounted the horses and rode out of the village, after they had crossed the bridge when Khara took out her map. "I was thinking. Instead of taking a break at the tavern in Falkreath, we could go to Lakeview Manor instead?" Khara asked as she looked at her map.
"That building we saw when we landed at Pinewatch?" Serana asked, she remembered seeing a house or something close to where they landed.
"Yeah, that's the one." Khara said as she sent Serana a smile.
"That's fine by me." Serana said with smile, but she was wondering though, how many properties did her wolf own? "Just how many houses do you own, Khara?" She asked.
"Five I think?" Khara said as she narrowed her eyes and looked to the ground before nodding. "Yeah, five." She confirmed.
"Five houses." Serana repeated amused. "Why do you have five houses?" She asked.
"Well I was given one, then I bought two in order to become Thane. I also bought two plots of land, one in Hjaalmarch and the other in Falkreath." Khara turned her head when Serana didn't say anything. She looked at the woman and saw that Serana was looking back at her with an amused look on her face. "I have a lot of gold, I have to use it somehow. In Solitude, I have an entire room filled with treasure" Khara defended.
Serana rose an eyebrow. "And why didn't I get to see this treasure room?" She had seen the main room, the alchemy room, the bathroom, the enchanting room and Khara's bedroom, but no treasure room.
Khara smirked at her. "Because we were busy doing something else." Khara said as she wiggled her eyebrows at Serana. Serana rolled her eyes which caused Khara to laugh. "I'll show you it the next time we go there, I promise." She said as she calmed down with the laughter. Serana nodded as she chuckled, she was looking forward to it. They continued their ride in a comfortable silence as both admired the last few yellow and red trees that the Rift had to offer.
"And that was my introduction to Skyrim." Khara said. She had told Serana about the day she crossed the borders, about the misunderstanding about her being a rebel, the headman's axe and that Alduin himself attacked the village just before Khara was sent to Sovengarde.
"That's quite the introduction and it's a little ironic that Alduin was the one who saved you from the executioner's axe." Serana looked over at Khara. They had passed Helgen a little while ago and was now closing in on Lakeview Manor.
"Yeah, it is." Khara said with a little smile. "It just feels weird, the fact that Alduin and I returned to Skyrim at the same day and in the same place, its odd things like that which makes me wonder if any decisions we make is really our own." Khara said as she looked to the skies, it was still dark and it would remain like that for a few more hours. "I mean what are the chances?" Khara asked.
Serana smiled at the way Khara's mind worked, she could see why the wolf would think it thought. "Maybe you're just lucky when it comes to odd things." Serana said with humor.
Khara snorted. "Yeah, I think I am." She said with a smile. She could the manor now, she jumped of her horse and guided it to the manor's stables. Serana jumped off as well and walked with her horse over to Khara.
"Aren't you a little worried that someone might come and steal the horses?" Serana asked as she looked around, the stabled didn't have any locks or anything on it.
"Not really." Khara said as she walked over to her house and pointed to a carving in the wood by the door." See that?" Khara asked as she looked at Serana. The vampire looked at the mark, it was a diamond shaped carving with to circles in the middle of it, the circles were linked together.
"Yeah, what does it mean?" She asked as she moved her gaze to the wolf.
"It means that this house is protected by the Thieves Guild, it's called a shadowmark. You can see them on almost every single building in Skyrim. There are nine shadowmarks in total, they tell members of the Guild if the location is dangerous, an ally, protected, safe, if there is something of value inside or not." Khara explained as she unlocked the door. "The 'protected mark' is known by most thieves, even those who aren't members of the Guild." She said as she opened the door. "If anyone tries to steal the horses, well, then they have a death wish." Khara said as she shrugged her shoulders.
Serana walked inside the manor, she could see that Khara didn't live here. The place had normal decorations and such, there wasn't really anything personal about the place, it sort of looked like an inn or the main room did anyways.
While walking through the room, Serana was wondering on something. Her wolf had houses, gold beyond what was normal, and was famous through put the entire province, if not all of Tamriel. She turned and looked at Khara who was busy getting her ebony armor off. "Khara, how is it that you haven't married anyone yet?" Serana asked. "Before we met I mean. I would have thought that people were standing in line to ask for your hand in marriage." Serana explained.
Khara looked over at her as she was getting out of her armor. "I've never trusted anyone that much and not a lot of people know about my…Preference in a partner." Khara undid her belt before placing it on the table in the middle of the room. "There have been people who have tried to get close to me, but they didn't do because they liked me. They only did it because they wanted the reputation, my riches, my property, my body, to brag about how they mounted the might Dragonborn." Khara huffed. "They never cared for my feelings." She said as she used her magic to loosen the straps on her armor. "There have been people who pretended to be my friends and when I finally let my guard down around them, I only ended up disappointed or hurt." Khara turned to look at Serana. "I told myself that I wouldn't let that happen again, letting someone in." Her eyes roamed Serana's face before her eyes fell to the floor.
Serana looked at Khara, really looked at her. The wolf had been hurt, used and betrayed by people she thought she could trust and it pained Serana so see her in this state. She moved over to Khara and brought the wolf into her arms. Khara hid her face in the crook of Serana's neck, the woman's scent calmed her and forced her eyes shut. "I made rules." She mumbled against cool skin. "So that it wouldn't happen again because I let one person get too close one time and because of that, a child died." Who got too close? Serana thought, she'd kill anyone who would try to harm her wolf.
Khara inhaled. "And I tried to keep my distance from you, tried to keep you on the outside." Khara brought her hands up to hug Serana back. "But I was drawn to you since we first met, just like a moth to a light, I couldn't stay away." Khara brushed her lips against cool skin. "And those weeks after we got you home was torture, I didn't know if I would see you again, but then you showed up at Whiterun and you looked at me with that damn smile." Khara said with a smile.
Serana smiled as the wolf talked, she remembered when she had woken up to an unknown and hostile world, Khara was the only thing that didn't seem to want to harm her. Since the moment they met the woman had only shown Serana kindness, she had treated her like a person. Her thought of the past was interrupted when she heard that sweet chuckle.
"I tried to ignore my feelings for you, but I was already doomed from the moment you first smiled at me, I even remember the first word I heard you say." Khara said as she smiled even more at the memory.
"Which was?" Serana whispered with a small smile.
"Ugh." Khara laughed out.
Serana laughed out as she moved back and out of Khara's embrace. "That's not even a real word, Khara." Serana chuckled as she looked at the woman smiling at her as she took a few steps back.
Khara moved a little closer as she raised her hands defensively. "Alright, alright, your fist real word was Where." Khara said as she walked closer to Serana who was still walking backwards with a smile playing at her lips.
Serana's back hit the wall as she looked at the wolf that was coming closer. Khara had moved her hands in her pockets of her trousers and stopped in front of Serana, trying to act all innocent. Serana moved her arms to her back as she leaned against the wall. Their eyes were locked on each other as Khara took one last step towards Serana, making it so she was only a few inches away from the woman. Khara moved her head closer to Serana's and traced the woman's jaw with her nose before placing a gentle kiss on her neck. Serana turned her head to the side as she smiled. "We should get to bed." She said in a low voice.
She felt Khara nod as the wolf brought a hand around Serana's waist as she placed more kisses her neck. Serana closed her eyes as she brought a hand up to Khara's shoulder. "So that we can rest, Khara." She said amused.
"Of course." Khara mumbled as she slowed down her assault and placed one last, long loving kiss on the jaw of the beauty she had pinned up again the wall. She nudged the cheek with her nose as she inhaled before taking a step so the side, dragging her hand against Serana's stomach as she moved away from the woman. Serana turned her head to the woman, who was walking up some stairs. Khara stopped at the middle of the stairs and turned to look at her with that charming smile. Serana pushed herself off the wall and walked up to Khara.
They entered the bedroom and Khara moved to stand in front of the bed as she took off her shirt while Serana undid her clothes next to a chair. Serana was all out of her clothes in no time, she was really looking forwards to get some sleep seeing to how eventful the last twenty-four hours had been. She turned around and saw that Khara was working on her trousers. Her eyes roamed her back as the wolf turned around.
"Did you know that during the height of the Dragon Cult, Labyrinthian was the capitol of Skyrim? It was called Bromjunaar, which roughly translates to North King-City." Khara said as she turned to Serana, who was too busy looking at the wolf to respond. Serana's eyes roamed her front, she still had her undergarments on of course, just like Serana did, but it didn't leave much to the imagination. Serana's eyes moved from one place to the other, the way Khara's muscles moved as she undid the trousers was beautiful to the vampire's eyes. Serana's eyes went lower to a toned stomach before going higher, to a shoulder. Her breath hitched as she saw her mark on Khara's shoulder, to see that mark on Khara, knowing that the wolf was hers made her feel all sorts of thing.
Serana moved over to Khara and grabbed her waist as she claimed the wolf's lips. Khara was surprised by the sudden action, but she wasn't complaining. Serana broke the kiss and gently pushed Khara back on the bed. "Oh, okey." Khara squealed as she fell back, she moved further up the bed, Serana following her every move. Khara held herself up with her elbows as Serana lowered herself onto her, they shared a smile before their lips met again. They both closed their eyes as Khara leaned over on one arm as she used the other to get a blanket over them, once they were covered she leaned down against the bed and brought both hands up to dark hair. "If we keep this up, there won't be any rest." Khara mumbled against what had to be the softest lips on Nirn.
Serana hummed. "A few more minutes." She commanded and the wolf obeyed. Serana brushed her tongue against Khara's lower lip, asking for entrance and the wolf happily obeyed once more. Serana groaned as she explored the new territory. She couldn't get enough of her wolf, her taste, scent, sound, warmth, everything. After a little while she decided to give Khara a little breathing break as she moved her lips to a warm neck, silently asking for permission.
Khara knew what she wanted and moved her head to the side, giving Serana more room to work with. Khara moved a hand down from Serana's hair and stroked the woman's back.
Serana smiled as she kissed the skin before sinking her teeth down into it. Khara let out a shaky breath at the feeling, gods she loved those fangs. Serana's smile only widened as she removed her fangs and held her lips against the bite mark, after a few minutes her thirst was satisfied so she ran her tongue over it to stop the flow of blood.
"So, Labyrinthian was the capital." Serana mumbled as she nuzzled Khara's neck.
Khara chuckled as she gave the woman a gentle squeeze with her arms. "So, you did listen." She said amused.
"I always listen." Serana said proudly. "Or at least when it is you that are speaking." She added.
"Good to know." Khara said as she ran her fingers through Serana's hair. "Sleep now, we got lots of traveling to do tomorrow."
Serana hummed and wiggled her body to get more comfortable against her wolf. After a few minutes, she could hear that Khara's breathing changed, indicating that she had fallen asleep. Serana's mind drifted back to when they were in Ancestor Glade, right before Khara read she Scrolls. Khara had said that she loved her. Serana's eyes flew open as she remembered what Khara had said to her, I love you. Khara had said that to her, a vampire. The corners of Serana's lips slowly crept up, forming a little smile.
She had grown up, or aged believing that she would never actually love someone or be loved. She had learned that all that, what others called love, was what her parents called a power game. People didn't marry, blood-share or just stay with someone without because of feeling. No, they did so in order to get power, reputation, armies, properties, gold, they did it to gain something, not because they simply wanted to stay with someone, because they loved someone.
In the world Serana used to live in, love didn't exist, it was a myth, a fiction, it was just a lie. But, here she is lying in the arms of a woman who had just confessed her feelings towards her, confessed their love for her. Serana gulped because she didn't say it back when Khara had said it, she didn't say it back. She felt a feeling in her chest now, it was heavy, but not in a bad way, more like in a very excited way. She wanted to say it back, needed to say it back. That Khara was asleep and couldn't hear it wasn't important right now, she just need to get it off her chest.
She very slow and gently moved her lips to the wolf's ear, she inhaled through her nose and let the raw scent of fire consume her as she whispered. "I love you, too" She let out a shaky breath just as the words had passed her lips. She had said it back, and even though Khara might not have heard it, Serana meant it with all her heart. Serana placed a featherlight kiss on Khara's cheek before settling back down, this time on her wolf's chest as she closed she eyes. The last thing she remembers before drifting into a deep sleep was two strong, warm arms giving her a little squeeze, turns out Khara wasn't fully asleep after all.
Khara walked over to the window and was met with one of the most beautiful view that the manor had to offer. Rays on sunlight touched her skin as she slowly made her way over to it. Birds were singing, the flowers showing their full selves as they shone with bright colors, the sunlight hit the lake just right to give it that breathtaking look. Deer could be seen walking between the trees, it was beautiful, stunning, a view that needed to be drawn by the most talented artist in order to do it justice, a view so incredibly breathtaking, it was-.
Khara moved the curtains to cover the window. "Stupid sun…" She mumbled lazily. The sun had woken her when she was so comfortable wrapped around by strong, smooth arms. She turned around and looked at the sleeping form laying in her bed. Serana must have had a very stressful day in order to not have been woken up by Khara's movements as she got out of the bed. Khara felt herself become more awake the longer she looked at Serana. She looked so peaceful where she laid wrapped up in a couple of blankets, Khara felt herself smile at the sight. She decided to leave Serana to her rest so, she after one last look she got dressed and then made her way out of the bedroom and down the stairs.
Khara was in the mood for a stew so that is what she made. She might not be the best cook in Skyrim, but she isn't the worst either. She gathered what she needed for the soup and after a little while it was all done. She sat down in front of the main room's fireplace with a bowl of soup in her lap and ate while she looked into the flames. Her thoughts brought her back to last night, right before she had fallen asleep. Khara smiled at the memory, Serana had said the words back. If felt a little odd to be honest, she had never said those words to anyone before, nor had she been on the reviving end. This was all new to her and that was a little frightened, but there was something about the woman upstairs that told Khara that there was no need to be scared, everything would turn out just fine.
It had been a while since she last felt to open to someone, so exposed. And the last person that she had really trusted, betrayed her, stabbed her in the back. But with Serana it felt like she could take on the world, she had never felt this strong and full of energy before. Serana was so very different from what she was used to, there was something so refreshing about her that had Khara struggling to breathe sometimes when their eyes locked. She wanted to badly to just shower the woman with affection, but it would be rude to wake her up from her sleep, right? "Fuck it." She said to herself as she stood up and walked up the stairs before entering the bedroom.
There laying on her bed still was Serana, the woman had moved to lay on her stomach now and her arms were hidden under her pillow. Khara moved to the bed and carefully straddled Serana before she slowly dragged down the blanket covering the woman, revealing that smooth, pale, flawless skin. She bent down and kissed Serana's right shoulder before dragging her lips over to the woman's neck. She let her hands snake their way down Serana's sides, making the vampire move a little. Khara leaned back and smirked as she ran her hand back over to Serana's back where she undid the woman's bra, the wolf had mastered pickpocketing a long time ago, so doing this without the woman knowing was easy. After removing one of the two pieces of undergarments, Khara let her hands slowly make their way up the naked back, nothing in their way this time as she slid the straps of the undergarment over Serana's shoulders. Khara bit her lower lip in order not so chuckle at her success when Serana started moving some more. Khara quickly removed the last piece of clothing on the woman before she started kissing her again.
The wolf bent back down and kissed the smooth skin as Serana's breathing changed. Serana smiled when she realized what was happening. "What are you doing?" She mumbled with amusement, she knew exactly what was happening, but just wanted to hear her wolf's voice.
Khara smiled as she moved to kiss Serana's cheek. "Something's telling me that we're going to do a lot of traveling in the days to come, might be a while till the next time we have some time for ourselves." Khara said in a low voice as she leaned back a little when she saw that Serana opened her eyes.
Serana smiled as she turned around under her wolf and looked into deep blue eyes. She let her eyes roam her wolf's face before she couldn't hold back anymore. She grabbed Khara by her shirt and pulled the wolf down so that she could claim those smooth, warm lips for herself. "What do you plan on doing the last few hours before we go then?" Serana mumbled as she kissed Khara.
Khara moved her lips to Serana's neck as she answered the woman. "More like who do I plan on doing." She said with a laugh as she kissed and nibbled on the smooth skin.
Serana snorted as she closed her eyes. "Who would have thought that you were so dirty when we first met." She said as she moved a hand to Khara's neck. "I love how confident you have become." She said as her eyebrows narrowed as Khara sucked over her pulse point. Khara hummed as she snaked a hand up to cup one of Serana's breast, which caused Serana to yelp in surprise. "When did you undo that?" She said with a laugh. Khara just snorted as she shrugged her shoulders. Serana then felt that she was completely naked and laughed out, her wolf had skilled fingers, she would know after all.
Serana's smile grew as she flipped them over. She looked down at Khara as she felt that feeling in her chest start to flutter and a warm sensation grow in her stomach. She reached for the wolf's shirt and tugged it. "Off, all of it, now." She commanded as Khara's eyes widened a little, but the wolf did obey, and with the help of Serana, she was stripped down to her undergarments.
As Serana sat on top of Khara, she could hear this song in the back of her mind. She remembered this song, she has heard it centuries ago, a female voice sang as a piano played. She had heard it when she was accompanying her parents at a royal family's party when she first heard it. But she never quite understood the text, not until now.
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang no
To get a dream of life again
A little of vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang no
Her mouth went dry as she now got a new understanding of the words. It was like the song was made for her, in this very moment. The voice who sang the words were so clear in her mind now, it was almost like there was someone in the room with them singing it, she could even hear all the instruments as the song continued.
But I only needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe it so
And I only needed one more touch
Another taste of devouring rush
And I believe, I believe it so
She moved back a little while looking Khara straight in the eye. Khara gulped by the look in Serana's eyes and helped herself to sit up while Serana sat on her thighs. Serana moved her eyes to her bitemark on Khara's shoulder as she let her hand move to feel it. What did I do to deserve you? Serana thought at she looked at Khara who tilted her head a little and smiled as she let Serana continue her exploring.
Serana was wondering, how did she manage to become this close to a werewolf, someone who was supposed to be the enemy. She was a vampire, a creature of the night who feeds on the living, what had she done to be so lucky to feel this, this bond with the woman that was right in front of her.
Whose side am I on, whose side am I?
Whose side am I on, whose side am I?
Serana found herself smile a little at how accurate she song really was. Was she supposed to stay with her father and help him fulfill the prophecy? Was she doing the wrong thing? And in that case why did it feel so, so right? She looked back into blue eyes, the silence was almost deafening to her.
And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room was so quiet oh
And although I wasn't losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room is too quiet, oh the fever
She moved her hand from Khara's shoulder and dragged it down to the wolf's heart. It was beating so strong and steady under her touch, and by the way Khara was looking at her, it made her believe that it was beating just for her.
I was looking for a breath of life,
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang no, I believe it
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang no
She knew that they wound run into trouble, pain, and hardship. She knew that they would meet people and other beings that would seek to harm them. She knew that they were different, but then again, also so very similar. She knew that her father would stop at nothing to at his attempt to fulfill the prophecy, she knew that he would gladly kill Khara if it meant that the prophecy would be complete. And now that Khara knew so much more about the prophecy than Harkon, he might even order his minions to hunt down her for the information she holds.
It's a harder way
And it's come to claim her
And I always say
We should be together
I can see below
'Cause there's something in here
And if you are gone
I will not belong here
Serana moved her hand to stroke Khara's cheek as the wolf patiently sat and waited, letting Serana do whatever she wish at whatever speed she desired.
And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasn't the end
And the room was so quiet, oh
And my heart is a hollow plain
For the Daedra to dance again
And the room was too quiet, oh
She knew that they could do it, defeat her father, stop the prophecy, but at what cost? She felt a little selfish, because she didn't do it to save the world or its inhabitants, no. She did it for herself, and more importantly, for the woman she was looking at. She was of course worried that something would happen to Khara, she loved the wolf, with all her heart. The idea of losing her made Serana feel a chill creep up her spine, she didn't know what the future might bring, so she decided to do the most of the present, the here and now.
I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang no
Serana moved both hands to cup Khara's cheeks, bringing their lips together, she needed to feel Khara's warmth against her. She moved her hand to Khara's back and removed the piece that covered her wolf's chest. She moved one hand to the middle of Khara's chest and slowly, while still pressing their lips together, lowered Khara to lay on her back.
Serana let her hands roam every inch of exposed skin and smiled into the kiss when Khara let her do whatever she wants. To have Khara, who is so powerful and even dangerous, let her do whatever she wishes to her, made Serana melt at the amount of trust the wolf had placed in her. Just the fact that the wolf gives her entire being up to Serana like this makes that feeling in Serana's stomach grow. Serana wanted to claim her in every possible way, she had already left her mark on her wolf, so this time it was her turn to have the wolf squirming beneath her.
Serana moved her lips to Khara's neck, over her pulse point as she let her hands find the last piece of clothes left on the woman underneath her. She moves one hand to the lower back of Khara and lifted her up with her unnatural strength, all while still attacking the wolf's neck, kissing, sucking, licking and nibbling on warm, abused skin as she removed the clothing.
Khara was lost, she was struggling to think straight while the feel of Serana's lips, tongue and hands were making her feel like she was on another realm. The smell was invading her senses as she could smell both hers and Serana's arousal, making her wolf's aspect growl in frustration, she needed more.
As if Serana could her the wolf's thoughts, she moved her lips to Khara's collarbone as one of her hands went lower and lifted Khara's leg over her lower back as she lowered herself fully against Khara, grinding their centers again each other, both closed their eyes at the contact. Khara let out a deep, guttural moan as Serana let her head fall to Khara's side as she let out a shaky breath at the feeling, making her neck exposed to her wolf.
One of Khara's arms went to Serana's back as her hand gripped the woman's shoulder as they moved against each other, before turning her head to kiss Serana's neck. It was difficult to worship the woman's neck when every time their centers met, Khara's lungs forget how to work, making the wolf gasp for air.
Serana felt the wolf's warm breath on her neck and it made her turn her head and claim those warm lips. Serana's arm held Khara's leg in place as her other arm caressed her wolf's cheek as their lips moves against each other with so much passion, so much desire and love. As the speed of their hearts increased, so did their movements as they grinded against the other with more force than before.
Khara's other arm found black hair as she held Serana in place, she needed to feel those lips against her own. One particular grind broke their kiss as their lips simply brushed against each other while both struggled to catch their breath. Their foreheads met, so did their eyes as they continued to move against each other.
Khara move her hand from Serana's hair in order to cup her cheek as she found the strength to form words. "I love you." She whispered with a shaky breath, she furrowed her brows as she struggled to keep her eyes open as her body commanded her to close them due the sensations she was feeling. Khara saw that something changed in Serana's eyes at her words, they seemed warmer.
Serana closed her eyes and kissed Khara deeply while inhaling deeply through her nose, when she broke the kiss she looked back into blue eyes. "I love you, too." She whispered back before moving her lips to Khara's cheek, then over to the lay her head next to the wolf's ear. "So much." She whispered as she too found it hard to speak.
Khara's grip on her shoulder became stronger, indicating that she was close, but so was Serana. Serana turned her head so that her lips brushed Khara's jaw as she gathered the last of her strength to move one last time against Khara, this time slower with even more force, bringing them both over the edge. Serana's mouth hang open as her hand on Khara's cheek moved to the wolf's shoulder where they gripped desperately, trying to hold on while she felt a strong, warm sensation vibrate throughout her body. She let out a long, deep moan as the waves of pleasure flowed through her.
Khara on the other hand was currently seeing stars, she held on Serana for dear life as it felt like her flame inside exploded in the most delicious way possible while holding her breath, she was afraid to breathe, to move as she was convinced as the smallest movements would be too much for her body to handle.
Serana's body laid on top of Khara's, emotionless as they both tried to catch their breaths. Khara was the first to move as she turned her head a little to kiss Serana, who happily kissed her back. Khara moved to her side and brought a hand up to move the hair out of Serana's face, she then moved her lips to her cheek, her jaw, then her neck where she nuzzled her nose as she settled down. Her other hand moved to stroke Serana's side before stopping at Serana's hip.
Serana snaked an arm under Khara's head as she brought the wolf closer to herself, brining Khara halfway on top of her. She then moved her other arm to the back of Khara's lower back as she held the woman in place.
It was still very early in the morning, they had time to rest, to gather their strength. So, without the need to exchange words, they both fell asleep in the other's embrace.
My opinion on the Chapter and info:
Alrighty, I was planning on having the journey to Markarth in this chapter and the introduction to a new custom character, but I suck at planning. You might also notice that this chapter is a little shorter than normal, sorry for that, but I didn't want to add more text just so that it would be longer. Y'all just gonna have to deal with dat.
Other than that, I liked this chapter, the start was my favorite part of it. During the ''adult scene'' I was listening to my random music playlist on youtube and the song 'Breath of Life' was just perfect for Serana, in my mind anyways, I just needed to get it into the story.
I don't feel the need to translate the dragon language in this one, it's pretty simple!
Okey dokey, I'll see ya in the next one.
