Tamani was angry at the goddess.
She should not be killing Isalinda. She was his and he needed her alive. He grimaced at Isalinda's screams and body convulsions.
Her blood was spraying over the place like a water fountain and Tamani struggled to get to her. The goddess did not flinch at her screams and kept stabbing until she hit her heart.
He could see the beating of her chest that was going too fast and Isalinda's visions was glazing over. They had covered his mouth so he would not yell and distract the goddess.
"Do not worry, Tamani. She will live. Believe in her love, and yours."
Tamani believed her and concentrated on their love and history. He blocked out her screams until Isalinda's body fell limp and the goddess stopped.
"Quickly! Her true love must step forward!"
Tamani broke free and practically flew to Isalinda. Just as he was going to touch her, the goddess grabbed his hand.
"No, not yet. Stay here!" the goddess said as she looked at Isalinda and touched her wounds. They closed instantly.
The goddess touched the blood and tossed it on the floor. The blood followed her like a snake and moved like water at the goddess's hands.
They were clearing up and every single drop of blood left Isalinda body was gone and she was cold and pale.
"There is no blood in her body. I rid of it. Now, bound by true love's respire,"
The goddess created something out of the air and a green vial came out.
"Now, lover, you shall drink this and kiss her. Blow your breath into her until she breathes in. do not move away until she breathes in you. The drink will make her aggressive and she will continue to breathe into you until the drink disappears. She must kiss you and you to her. Do it now! The light is leaving."
Tamani drank the liquid and it burned his throat. It was horrible but he didn't care if it means to save Isalinda's life. He kissed her gently but not before saying, "Come back to me,"
He breathed into her for a while until he felt life flicker in her. Her chest rose and touched his and instinct told him to hold her.
He continued to breathe into her until she sucked it in and gasped. She growled hungrily and her arm whipped around his neck and pulled him down to her, kissing him hungrily, hard, wanting to sedate her thirst and wanting more of this taste.
"That is right. The drink is almost gone."The goddess said.
She breathed into him and out of him while he did the same. He felt something change in him. He felt warmer, stronger, healthier as she breathed in and he was overwhelmed with a great lust to please her and he couldn't help but touch her leg and go up.
She growled and kissed him harder and hungrier, he reacting quickly to the kiss. Something was happening and he knew they were being bonded.
He heard a grunt and saw Isalinda pull back and stare at him, confused.
She was changing in front of his eyes.
"Do not move, Tamani! Watch your lover become a faerie."
He did not move and stayed over her. Her eyes were changing to a pale green color, no longer brown and yellow.
Her hair glowed and it was no longer brown with golden highlights. Her hair was changing to an almond crème color and her skin was becoming tanned liked his.
Her body and face were rounding out, changing in front of his eyes. She was becoming perfectly symmetrical like him.
Her skin glowed and he saw the sunlight go in her body and she glowed, he saw the molecules re arrange themselves in her skin, changing her, making her a faerie.
Her facial features were accentuated and showed off her beauty more, causing him to gasp at her beauty.
She was more beautiful, every part of her body changing, growing, becoming a faerie. All of her features created a beauty like all the other faeries that made humans come to them like moths.
Her eyelashes were thicker, framing her eyes.
He could not take his eyes off of her.
As the last of light of sun disappeared into her skin, she fell limp and Tamani panicked.
"Do not worry, child. It is done. She will awake, as a faerie."
Tamani turned to see the goddess but she was gone, just her voice.
"Do not worry."
And her voice was gone.
Everyone stood quiet, anticipating. Tamani got off of her and stood by her side. He touched her hand, it was different.
Strong yet soft like his. He touched every part of her body, noting the difference and the enhancement it had on him.
She groaned and everyone held their breath.
She opened her eyes, those pale green eyes.
She looked around and saw Tamani.
"Tam?"
He smiled and tears fell to his eyes. He grasped her and held her tight, a little too tightly.
She giggled and hugged him back. Everyone cheered.
"Did it work?" she asked, her worry feeling in.
"Yes! It worked. You are remarkable! You are perfect! You are mine!" he yelled in pride as everyone yelled and cheered.
She stepped, not feeling the need to grab onto something. She felt more balanced, more in tune with the earth.
She felt different.
"We are bound, Linda! You and I are together forever!"
It took a while for it to sink in but when it did she jumped and shrieked into his arms. He twirled her around out of happiness, filled with joy.
The queen came forward and bowed down.
"You are now one of us child."
She squealed and said, Thank you, and hugged Tamani.
"We are together." He said as he leaned in to kiss her.
"We are," he tasted. She was different, better, like honey and he liked it.
She felt his tasted more distinct and loved it more. She knew why she noticed the differences in Tamani. She knew why she was now happy.
She was now a faerie.
