-1Chapter 21:
The First of Many Beautiful Mornings.
The warm morning wind whipped through the large window. Lashing out across the bedroom. Cyclonis closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The familiar scent of sulfur and ash filled her consciousness. The feeling of the warm wind blowing across her, forced her to pulled the black sheet tighter against her naked body. Soon the wasteland would be alive with the sounds of the Lava Dragon's haunting calls. Mating season was fast approaching, the males would be even more violent than usual. This was one of the many things that weighed heavy on her mind.
Jamie-Lu had come a long way in such a short time. The determination he had, had always been there and his hunger to learn control added to it. He was full of passion and emotion which was a good catalyst for the powerful potion he was brewing. There was little more that she could teach him. The rest was up to him to learn on his own. Today would be a great challenge. One she feared, but it necessary for his growth. He would succeed.
Slowly Cyclonis opened her eyes, even before he entered she could feel his approach. The door slid open and Jamie-Lu walked in quietly save for the light tapping of his soft soled boots. There was a different look about him. The form fitting, rubber body suit had become his outfit of choice. Even though he lacked sleep and rest, his face didn't show it. There was an eagerness, more like a hunger for the lesson to come. A shutter ran through Cyclonis' frail looking body as she slipping a hand from under the sheet. Slowly her fingers curled beckoning him closer.
Without hesitation he walked up the few steps to where Cyclonis was standing. To his right was a large round bed the covers were thrown asunder. Instincts told him that she hadn't slept well. To his left was a large desk cluttered with broken crystals, parchments, and other documents that weren't a concern to him. What did concern him now was the large violet eyes that belong to his beckoner.
"Yes Master." His voice was soft, but still echoed in the room.
Cyclonis smiled and opened the sheet to him, before taking a step forward, wrapping him up in her body and the sheet. "You don't have to call me master. I love to hear you say my name."
Jamie-Lu wrapped his arms around her lithe form pulling her tightly to him. Cyclonis gripped the rubber suit at his back as if to cling to him. She buried her face into his neck, smelling the soft scent of his clean fur. Jamie-Lu had spent the past few days training hard, it seemed like it was all he knew. But now in her arms it felt as if he had awoken from a long sleep.
"This is new Cyclonis." Jamie-Lu whispered before he could stop himself.
Cyclonis leaned back so that she could look into his eyes. "After today your training will be complete. We will be able to spend many more morning like this."
Jamie-Lu closed his eyes and smiled softly. "That would be wonderful."
Cyclonis nodded as she wrapped herself around him once again pressing her head to his chest listening to the uneven beat of his heart. Only a moment passed before there was a knock at the door. Both Cyclonis and Jamie-Lu turned their attention to the door. Ravess walked into the room carrying a metal box of supplies. The sight of seeing Cyclonis and Jamie-Lu so close together brought a sneer to her lips.
"Yes Ravess, what is it?" Cyclonis picked up on the sneer almost instantly, but her grip on Jamie-Lu didn't wavier.
"Your rides are ready and waiting to take you into the wasteland. I have also brought the supplies you've asked for." Ravess said holding the box of supplies out.
"Very good Ravess, just leave them right there and excuse yourself." Cyclonis ordered with a cool tone.
"Yes Master." Ravess set the box down on the floor and slowly walked out the door without another word.
Cyclonis stepped away letting the sheet fall to the floor. The warm breeze blew around her body once again as she slowly walked down the steps to the box on the floor. Jamie-Lu watched as she gracefully moved doing his best to control his emotions as there was no concealing the effects she was having on him while wearing the body suit. Without letting a moment pass she opened the container pulling free a neatly folded bundle of black fabric. She set it aside before retrieving a matching bundle of a larger size.
The fabric was cool to her skin as she tucked it under her arm. Gracefully she turned on the balls of her feet shifting to a standing position. Jamie-Lu watched as she presented herself in front of him.
"Remove your clothes Jamie-Lu. I have a special gift for you." Cyclonis said her tone as soft as it always was when she addressed him.
Jamie-Lu blushed as he complied. He turned his back to her reaching up to the zipper at the back of his neck. Cyclonis let the bundle slip to the floor next to her as she reached up resting her dainty hands against his. Jamie-Lu's body tensed as his ears lay back.
"…let me help you." She whispered softly against the back of his left ear.
Her small fingers pulled the zipper down slowly until it was stopped at his waist by his belt, she pressed her body against his back. A smile moved to her lips as she could feel his heartbeat quicken. Lovingly she slipped her fingers along his sides to where his belt was. Her fingers masterfully worked the clip until the belt hung open. Jamie-Lu started trembling at the feeling of her hands so close to him.
"You're shivering, does my advances make you nervous?" Her lips lightly touching along his ear.
The tingling sensation of her lips against his ear caused a soft sigh to slip through his lips. "I…I'm just not use to it."
"You've never been intimate with a woman before have you?" Her voice was equally as soft, her warm breath blowing across the fur on the back of his ear.
Jamie-Lu closed his eyes his whole body starting to blush. The attention she was showing his ears was causing a sensation that he'd not felt before. Her fingers slowly moving up along his back to pull the body suit off of his shoulders and down his arms. Cyclonis could see that she was having an effect on him by how his back fur was bristling.
"No. You and P…" Jamie-Lu stopped short as he could feel Cyclonis' drag her fingernails through the fur on his back at the near mention of her name.
It was the only rule that Cyclonis had given him to follow. Piper's name was to never be uttered. It was better for him, especially after how she hurt him. Cyclonis closed her eyes and pressed her face against his shoulders feeling the clean fur tickling her face.
"Things will be different after today." Cyclonis whispered more to herself than to anyone as she pushed the body suit over his hips letting them slip around the boots he was wearing.
Jamie-Lu blushed even more, stepping out of the boots making sure to cover himself as best he could with his hands. "How so?"
"Don't you worry about that my love, you'll see." Cyclonis knelt down and picked up the bundle.
Jamie-Lu looked at her from over his shoulder as she let the bundle unfold. It was a new bodysuit. It looked to be a little more bulky than the one he had on. Cyclonis smiled softly and held the body suit out to him.
"Put this on. I designed it especially for you. You're about to take part in a special training session." Jamie-Lu took the body suit giving it a look over as she explained.
Jamie-Lu stepped down into the leggings of the suit. Indeed the suit was cut for him, it hugged each of his contours perfectly. The fabric was fused with rubber and woven tighter than before making it more dense, but not harder to move in. Cyclonis moved up behind him running her fingers along his tail from base to tip smoothing the fur down. Another shutter moved through him as he looked at her. All that was offered back was a smile as she helped him pull the tail through the hole in the back. Jamie-Lu glanced over his shoulder yet again, only to be greeted with a soft kiss on the cheek.
Jamie-Lu did his best to hold onto his wavering composure as he slipped his arms into the suit. The fabric clinging to his body as his fingers and thumbs were the only things that stuck out of the suit. The fabric felt thick and taut, but light and mobile. Cyclonis slipped her fingers along his hips and down lightly grazing a very sensitive area of his body, which caused Jamie-Lu to flinch against her. Her ears were in sync with his quickening breath. She could feel the resonation of his sonic aura forming around them. Finally she had found the way to unleash the passion he was so readily trying to hide.
It took so much self control for her to keep her fingers still. Wanting to see where their passion would lead was more than Cyclonis could ask for, but there was no time for this now. He would need ever ounce of his power. Much to her chagrin she slowly zipped the suit up across his chest. Jamie-Lu took a step away doing everything he could to regain composure.
Cyclonis smiled softly and lightly rubbed his back. "Are you alright my sweet?"
Jamie-Lu looked down at her his eyes glowing with an intense orange glow hints of lavender swirling through them. "Yes…" Was all he uttered.
"We will have to finish this later. For now I have to explain the inner working of your suit. This is a Thermal suit specially made from crystals found on your home Terra. The crystals have been broken down and fashioned into a string that runs the entire length of your suit." Cyclonis explained as she walked over to the container once again.
"The crystals work with your Blizzarian DNA, so that no matter how hot it gets your body will remain cool. It will heighten your natural resistance to fatigue as well. Feel free to hit the button at your neck to try it out." Cyclonis explained as she unfolded the other bundle of cloth revealing a matching outfit.
Jamie-Lu reached up pushing in the button at his neck. A strange sensation washed through him. His glowing eyes scanning over the suit. Each joint in the suit glowed a cool blue color and indeed he could feel his body temperature dropping. It was as if he were standing in the snow of his home Terra. A smile traced his lips as he looked the suit over in more detail.
"I take it you like it?" Cyclonis pulled her own suit on clipping it at her neck.
"Amazing, simply amazing Cyclonis." Jamie-Lu words hung on his lips as he flexed his joints, he felt fully invigorated.
"Good I'm glad you like it." Cyclonis spoke softly as she pulled out a pair of boots crafted for Jamie-Lu.
Jamie-Lu slowly moved over to the boots stepping down into them. They were well padded and hugged his feet tightly, but not uncomfortably. Jamie-Lu stretched a few times feeling his weight in the boots.
"Getting accustom to the suit I see." Cyclonis walked over to him fully clad in a matching suit.
"I'm just amazed at how good I feel in the suit." The smile never left his lips as he shifted a few more times.
"Good, because you're about to undergo a new form of training. None that you…or anyone else has ever seen before." Cyclonis bent down, reaching into the container once again.
"Will it be dangerous?" Jamie-Lu felt his heart twitch.
"Extremely, but there is nothing you need to worry about. With your new found powers and my assistance we should be alright." Cyclonis pulled a shimmering silver blade from the container holding it out to him.
There was a long pause as Jamie-Lu mulled over the new task before he spoke, his voice was soft and calm. "What would you ask of me?"
Cyclonis slipped the purplish blizzard crystal into the niche at the end of the hilt on the blade. Before running her finger along a smooth metal touchpad. The slightly curved blade became engulfed in a soft glowing blue light. Being careful to test every inch of the hilt to make sure that it was perfectly weighted before she held it out to Jamie-Lu.
"We will be training in the lower levels of the wasteland. That's one of the main reasons we'll needed the thermal suits." Cyclonis shifted her weight to one leg.
Jamie-Lu looked at the blade feeling its weight as well as the smooth metal hilt. "This is absolutely incredible. It looks like it would weigh more, but its incredibly durable."
Cyclonis interjected as she deactivated the blade. "It's designed to be agile and deadly at the same time."
"In deed." Jamie-Lu raised and eyebrow as he slowly slipped the blade into its sheath before clipping the sheath to his belt.
Cyclonis retrieved a backpack from the case pulling it onto her back, the bag shifting slightly. Jamie-Lu's sensitive ears picked up the sound of crystals shifting in the bag. There was one last item in the box. Cyclonis pulled her staff cylinder from the container and slipped into the holding pouch in on her back, before she stood up and looked into his eyes.
"No matter what happens I will take care of you." Jamie-Lu whispered softly.
"As I will you, my love." Cyclonis whispered back reaching up to caress the fur on his cheek.
They both walked towards the door in silence as if they were marching too a funeral. It was too late to turn back now. Cyclonis started to feel the concern seeping into her heart. If this training session went badly then not only would her life be in jeopardy, but she may lose the first person to shine a light on the dark corners of her heart. A warm hand gripped hers pulling her back from the depths of her what if's. There was a comfort in that hand, something that told her that it was going to be alright.
