Chapter Two
"That's the place?" Leona asked as she let her gaze wander over the ruins in front of her. Windows were broken, parts of the building's roof were missing, the outer walls were heavily damaged. The place looked abandoned. It gave Leona the impression that no one had been there for decades. It was anything but lucrative to live there. It didn't give any protection against rain, the cold wind or enemies that would attack this place. It was unsuitable as a hiding place for the Lunari.
"Don't judge it by the looks," Diana replied. "The building is just a cover. The hideout is right behind it. It is built into the mountain. Also, you can only reach it when knowing the right combination."
Leona raised an eyebrow. "The right combination?" she asked interested.
"You will see soon."
Leona was satisfied with the answer and gave her lover a simple nod. Diana entangled herself from the auburn-haired woman and made a few steps forward, propping her hand against the wall.
The warrior followed her quickly, entering the temple ruins right after her. "Let me support you," she said as she put a hand on Diana's shoulder. The silver-haired woman turned her head and looked at her lover, giving her a small smile. "I'm fine. As you can see, I can still walk. I might need to prop myself against the wall but I can still walk. I appreciate your offer but only I know the way to the hideout, so I rather walk on my own instead of telling you all the time which way we have to take."
"Your choice, Di. But tell me when it's too much for you. You are still wounded."
"The worst wounds I suffered can be found in my face. I didn't suffer any yawning wounds or broken bones. My ribs hurt but that's it."
"What about your legs?"
"Oh yeah. Them too. But that's really it. I'm fine, really."
"Your face speaks a different story."
Diana chuckled. "I wonder who is responsible for that. Let me guess, a very strong and beautiful warrior that not only stole my virginity but also my heart."
Leona couldn't help but blush a little. She caressed the back of her head, running her fingers through her wet hair when she answered. "I'm still sorry about that."
"No need to be sorry, Leo. I deserved that for all the mean things I said to you."
Leona put a hand on Diana's face and caressed her right cheek. "I still regret hitting you so hard. I ruined your beautiful face."
"Probably not temporarily with the right healer. Fortunately, we have good healers in our order."
"I hope your order won't execute me on sight," Leona said worriedly. The worry was also all written over her face.
Diana gave her a small smile. "Don't worry. The Lunari listen to me. I'm the representative of their goddess, so they will do anything I demand from them. I wouldn't say that they follow me blindly. There are some individuals that pose questions from time to time. Nevertheless, the Lunari do what I say."
"I don't want you to get into trouble."
"I don't want you to get into trouble either. Maybe we should sneak you in there, but I don't have any clothes for you. I cannot disguise you as a Lunari. We have no other choice than confront the Lunari with your presence."
Leona nodded. "I understand."
"Nevertheless, we have better chances of survival there than in the Solari temple. The Lunari are not as stubborn and narrow-minded as most Solari."
"You might be right about that," Leona responded honestly. "But not all of us are like that. Keep that in mind."
Diana nodded. "I know. You are one of the few exceptions." She finished her sentence with a kiss on Leona's cheek, making the other woman smile wider. "Anyway, we talked enough already. Let's go to the secret entrance."
"I'm right behind you."
Diana and Leona entered the temple ruin and followed the long corridor to its end. They crossed several rooms and corridors until they came to a corridor that was much narrower than the previous ones. They walked to the corridor's end and took the door to the right. Diana guided Leona to a row of old shelves that were partly covered by spider webs and filled with dusty books. The covers and spines of some of the books were yellowed and unrecognizable. They were pretty old.
Diana turned her head and checked her surroundings, making sure that no one else was in the room before she brought her hand to a specific book at her eye level. She pulled it out a little and then did the same with a book that was a few rows beneath the first book. She went to the next but one shelf on the left side and pulled out a book that was several rows above her eye level. She made a few steps backwards as she heard something snap into place.
What happened next was not special to her because she had already seen it happen one time. For Leona, it was new and impressive to watch. The shelves moved to the sides, making room in the middle for a hidden iron door.
"Impressive," Leona commented.
"Whoever built this temple was a genius. I'm not sure who did that but they weren't Lunari. Someone else built it and this group of Lunari live there since they found it several years ago."
"You know them pretty well, don't you?" asked Leona.
"I spent some time with them since I fled from the Solari temple. I have not been inside this hideout before but I met several members when I was running away from you and the Solari. They helped me escape and kept your followers busy as long as possible."
"How do you know the combination if you have never been there before?"
"I was there but I have never been inside," corrected Diana. "They showed me the combination to reveal the secret door but I didn't go through it before."
"I see. I hope they tolerate my presence."
"They will. They have to." Diana walked to the door and put her hand around the knob, pushing it open. She stepped aside and allowed Leona to get in first before she entered the small corridor and closed the door behind her. She heard something snapping in place followed by the sound of objects being dragged over the floor. She had no doubt that the shelves were back in place.
The corridor was so thin that they had no other choice but to walk one after the other, but that didn't stop them from holding hands. Leona continuously brushed her thumb over the back of Diana's hand, her eyes were glued to the back of her head as she followed her through the corridor. The corridor ended in a huge room that had also been built inside the mountain. The room was enlightened by numerous torches. Besides them, there was nothing else in the room but a gate at the end. No one was in front of it, no one protected it but that was not necessary because it was closed.
The couple stopped right in front of the door and regarded it for a few moments. Diana freed her hand from Leona's graspand loudly knocked at the door made of massive iron.
"Who's there?" asked a muffled masculine voice behind the gate.
"Your Chosen," Diana called out loud enough for the Lunari on the other side to hear her clearly.
"Password."
"The moon will rise. The night will last forever."
Nothing happened at first but then a loud sound of an opening door could be heard. The gate got opened a slit wide enough for someone to poke their head through. The head of a young man with raven hair came in their sight a few moments later. His eyes reflected curiosity at first but it quickly changed to worry when he saw the injuries on Diana's face.
He stared at her for almost a minute before he turned his head to look at Diana's companion. His eyes narrowed in the blink of an eye, anger and disgust appeared in them. "What is SHE doing here? How dare she come to this place? Has she forced you to show her the secret entrance?"
The man slipped through the slit and drew his sword from his belt, making a few steps towards Leona. But Diana stepped in front of her lover and stretched her arms out, signalizing the guard that he would have to strike her down first if he wanted to attack Leona.
"Leona has neither forced me to do anything nor is she our enemy. She comes in peace."
The man's brown eyes narrowed even further as he regarded Leona once again. "She is the Chosen of the Sun, of course, she is our enemy."
"No, she is NOT," Diana hissed through gritted teeth.
A confused expression appeared on the guard's face. "But why? Why are you saying that?"
"I'll explain everything to your elders. I don't have the time to explain it to everyone. You trust me, do you?"
The guard nodded. "I do, my Chosen."
"Then let us pass and bring us to the elders."
He lowered his head in respect. "As you wish, my Chosen." He gave Leona a venomous glance before he turned around and knocked at the gate three times, pushing it open with other guards that were waiting behind the gate. The Chosen stepped through the gate and were greeted by mixed expressions on the faces of half a dozen guards. Some of these expressions reflected curiosity and surprise while others reflected confusion, anger or even disgust.
"What is that whore doing here?" a female Lunari with platinum blonde hair asked. She was one head smaller than Diana, her clothes had a similar colour scheme to hers but they were not made of Moonsilver. She wore leather trousers. Her upper body armour was made of much thicker leather just like her gloves. She carried a spear in her left hand which she accusingly pointed at the Chosen of the Sun.
"She is not a whore," Diana snapped, failing at keeping her cool. A confused expression appeared on the other Lunari's face but unlike her comrades, she didn't hold back or remain silent. "Why are you defending her?"
"Because she did nothing to deserve being insulted by you, Christia."
Christia's eyes narrowed. "She is the most important figure of the Solari, isn't she?"
Diana nodded.
"And the Solari are our enemy, right?"
"They are at the moment but that can change. That has to change," Diana replied.
Christia raised an eyebrow. "What are you implying?"
"By all respect, I do not have to justify myself to you or any other guard. I don't even have to justify myself to the elders. In fact, I do not have to justify my actions and motives to anyone except to the moon goddess herself."
"And what does the goddess say about her presence?" the guard asked grimly, pointing her spear at Leona again.
"She has not stopped me from bringing Leona to this place so far. I meditated and prayed every day to the goddess on our way to this place and she had not told me to not bring Leona to this place. She had not told me to turn around and go somewhere else. The goddess tolerates Leona's presence and so should you. Or are you doubting the goddess' will? Are you doubting my word?"
Christia quickly shook her head, knowing that doubting the Chosen or the Moon Goddess was considered treason and heresy. "Of course not, my Chosen. I'm sorry for questioning you."
A small triumphing grin appeared on Diana's lips, which had not fully healed yet but looked better than a few days ago. "Then bring us to the Council of the Elders."
Christia nodded. "As you wish." She put her spear aside and walked away from the gate, turning her head to make sure that the Chosen were following her.
They didn't need long to reach the settlement that had been erected in the middle of the massive room. The various holes in the ceiling of the room had two functions. They not only supplied the inhabitants with enough oxygen but also allowed them to recognize their surroundings. They served as sources of light and oxygen.
The three women passed several buildings made of stone or wood but there were also simple tents in which single persons or small families were living. They spotted several Lunari with similar facial expressions to the guards at the gate. But those who had grim or angry looks on their faces said nothing and just watched the three women walking through the path in the middle of the settlement.
The small group eventually came to the third biggest building of the settlement. It had more similarities to a palace than a normal building. It was huge and made of white marble, giving Leona the impression that it must be a very important building. The columns that supported the roof overhang were massive and also made of marble. The roof was covered by silver tiles, Lunari symbols adorned the walls.
"There it is, the Council of the Elders," Christia announced, pointing at the massive building. She pointed her head towards the entrance that was guarded by five soldiers, signalizing Diana and Leona to go there on their own.
"Thanks for the guidance, Christia," Diana said to her.
The guard nodded at her. "You are welcome, Chosen." She turned around and was about to leave as Diana cleared her throat. The smaller female turned around and gave the Chosen of the Moon a curious look. She raised an eyebrow as Diana stepped closer to her. She didn't even blush as Diana leaned in until her mouth was only several inches away from her ear. "The next time you dare to insult Leona in any way, you better pray for the mercy of the goddess. I don't want you to ever insult her again. Is that clear?"
Christia nodded quickly, not daring to make any cheeky comments in return. Diana watched her leave and then turned her head to look at Leona who gave her a curious look. "What did you say to her?" she asked.
"Nothing of importance," Diana said and made her way to the Chosen of the Sun.
Leona raised an auburn eyebrow. "Really?"
Diana put a hand on her shoulder and patted it. "Yes. Don't worry about her."
"Do you have any idea what to tell your elders?"
"Not yet but I'm certain I'll come up with something," the silver-haired woman replied honestly.
Leona nodded. "I trust you."
Diana gave her a small smile before heading over to the guards, knowing that Leona was right behind her. The guards were as conflicted as the guards at the main gate when they caught sight of their Chosen with the Chosen of their enemies. They were aware that the other guards didn't let them pass without a reason, so they didn't dare to ask why Leona was there. They opened the doors when Diana demanded that, remaining completely silent.
The couple entered the building and turned their heads to take a closer look at the impressive entrance hall. The walls were made of marble and so was the floor that was covered by a silver carpet. There were statues in front of the sidewalls, the distance between them was always the same. The statues showed Lunari warriors, priests, guards but also common citizens like blacksmiths, farmers, tailors or shepherds.
"Beautiful," Leona commented as she let her gaze wander from statue to statue.
"It's really astonishing," Diana said to her. She took her hand and waited until Leona's gaze fell on her. "We should go to the elders. We can take a closer look at these statues later."
The auburn-haired woman nodded. "You are right, Di."
They crossed the room together and stepped through the entrance, following the bordering corridor to another huge room that was guarded by half a dozen warriors. Inside the room were another ten warriors that were positioned in front of the columns that supported the ceiling. Leona could almost feel their burning gazes everywhere on her body, they almost felt unpleasant but she managed to ignore them and the feeling she had at the moment. She didn't look at the guards or at the plenty of decorative elements which could be found in the room. All she did was following her beloved who guided her to the circular seating arrangement in the middle of the room.
Only when they stepped in the middle of the circle, Leona allowed herself to let her gaze wander. There were six seats on which six persons were sitting. Four males and two females. All of them were human, and although they had the title of an elder, they were not as old as the elders of the Solari had been. Not even close.
Leona guessed that the oldest of them was not older than forty. The first thought that came to her mind was that the reason for this might be that this group of Lunari wasn't very old compared to groups of the Solari or other Lunari groups. Maybe it had been founded not so long ago. Years or maybe even decades.
The youngest of the elders didn't seem to be older than thirty. She had silver dyed hair and green eyes. She had a Lunari symbol tattooed on the left side of her neck, just like every other elder. That woman leaned forward and regarded Diana and Leona curiously. Most of the other elders had neutral expressions on their faces, only one of them appeared to be a little annoyed by the presence of the Avatar of the Sun.
"Your sudden visit comes surprising, Chosen One," the woman said to Diana. "So comes the presence of the Solari's Chosen One. Did you finally capture her and brought her to us to punish her? But why isn't she in chains? Why is she allowed to move around freely?"
"You are mistaken, my Elder...," Diana stopped speaking and signalized to the other women that she wanted her to introduce herself because she didn't know her name."
"Elder Sakara," the women replied.
"I didn't bring her as a prisoner. More like a guest, Elder Sakara."
Sakara raised an eyebrow. "A guest?" she asked confused. "What do you mean?"
"Leona is no longer my enemy and I have no intention to destroy her as you would like. The Lunari and the Solari don't have to be enemies. That had not crossed my mind until recently but now I really want to achieve that. The unnecessary bloodshed has to end for the sake of our people and even for the people of the Solari. Enough blood had been spilt already, innocent lives had been destroyed for no reason. That has to end. I brought Leona to this place so that she can convince you that she wants to achieve the same. She wants to convince the Solari that the war we are waging is pointless."
Another elder got the chance to speak. It was a male with short red-brown hair and a full beard. His eyes were light-blue, scars covered his face and his neck. He had definitely fought in numerous battles in the past. He had been a warrior once or still was. His muscular physique was another proof of that. "Is that true?" he asked. His voice was deep and rough but not unpleasant to hear. He quickly introduced himself as Elder Ven before he gave Leona permission to speak.
"Diana is right. I also regard the conflict as unnecessary and I want to achieve peace between both orders. The Solari are stubborn and it won't be easy to convince them, especially because Diana murdered their elders not so long ago but I have no doubt I can convince them. Diana told me that, unlike the Solari, the Lunari don't want to extinguish their arch-enemies. You just want to survive and be left at peace."
"That's right but we also want our religion to be acknowledged. We don't want to be called heretics and executed because of our beliefs."
"I understand that and I'm certain the Solari will understand that as well as soon as I have convinced them."
"Can you do that?" another male elder with the name Bardas asked.
Leona's gaze fell on him. He was not as tall and slim as the other elders but he was not fat either. He was just a little overweight for his size. He had no hair which could cover the tattoos on the sides of his head and on his forehead. All tattoos were religious symbols of the Lunari. There was a half-moon, a full moon, a crescent and many other symbols.
"I'm the representative of their goddess. They will listen to me. They have to."
"I hope they do," said the other female elder, who introduced herself as Lix, a few moments later.
"I hope you allow us to stay as long as my wounds need to recover," Diana addressed the Elders. "But I'll only stay when Leona is allowed to stay as well. Not to mention that I do not tolerate any insults or other offences against her."
"We understand that," responded Sakara. "We will make sure that no member of our community will do anything inappropriate. We want to live in peace and we will do anything necessary to achieve that. We are granting her a safe stay."
"Good," replied Diana.
"Anything else you want to discuss with us, my Chosen?" Ven asked.
Diana shook her head. "No. We just need a place to stay and someone to look after my injuries."
"One of our guards will bring you to your house and we'll send you a healer to treat your wounds." Bardas paused for a few moments, his eyes took a closer look at Diana's injuries. "Who was the one who dared to ruin the beautiful face of our Chosen?" His voice sounded more aggressive than before.
Diana and Leona exchanged a quick glance before they shifted their attention back to the elder. "That was me," confessed Leona.
"But she only hit me due to self-defence. I attacked her first." Leona might have started the fight by sprinting towards Diana but Diana had been the one to perform the first attack. It was not a real lie but not the truth either. Fortunately, the elders believed her.
"In that case, we cannot hold that against her," concluded Lix.
"I share the same opinion," replied Ven.
"Can we go then?" Diana asked impatiently.
"Of course, my Chosen. Who are we to hold you up longer than necessary?" Ven turned his head and looked at one of the guards. "Barca, come over here."
An armoured female with a sword and shield on her back sprinted to the elders and bowed before them. "What can I do for you, Elder Ven?"
"Bring the Chosen and her guest to the shrine we built for her."
"You built a shrine for me?" Diana asked surprised.
"We did," confessed Ven. "In case you will visit us one day. Fortunately, our hopes became true. I'm glad we didn't build it for nothing."
"I feel honoured."
Ven chuckled. "The honour is on our side, my Chosen. Your presence honours us. Not many groups of the Lunari can say that the Chosen herself had visited them."
Diana lowered her head in respect even though she knew she didn't have to do that. "Bring me to that shrine then."
"As you wish, my Chosen," said Barca and walked towards the exit, waiting for the Chosen to follow her. Together they left the Council of the Elders and made their way to the west. They walked for nearly half an hour until they reached a building that looked as majestic as the Council of the Elders. It was made of marble and almost as tall as the Council. The shrine was way too huge for a single person to live in.
"That's the shrine the elders were talking about?" Diana asked.
Barca nodded. "It was even built before the Council of the Elders in case the moon wouldn't wait long to select a chosen. It has been only built for the Chosen. No one else is allowed to live in there or even enter it. Only with the permission of the Chosen, a mortal is allowed to step in."
"So, it hasn't been used before," concluded Diana.
"It hasn't."
"I see," Diana responded as she let her gaze roam over the impressive building. To say it was beautiful was an understatement. "Is there anything else I need to know?"
The guard shook her head. "No."
"You can tell the healer that they are allowed to enter the shrine and look for us. They don't need to directly ask me for permission."
"I'll tell them."
"Good. You are dismissed then. Thanks for your service."
Barca lowered her head in respect. "It was a pleasure and an honour to me, my Chosen."
Diana gave the guard a small smile, watching her leave. She shifted her gaze to her lover who regarded her with an amused smile on her lips. "What's so funny?" she asked.
Leona chuckled. "Nothing. It's just new to me to not be the one worshipped by everyone around me. It's weird to see you being praised and admired by literally everyone in this settlement. So strange but right at the same time. You are really an awesome person."
Diana smiled at Leona. "You really know how to flatter me."
Leona grinned. "I'm good with words but my tongue is also very useful for other things."
Diana blushed a little as she remembered the last time she had been alone with Leona before the events that changed everything for them. Before the escalation, the slaughter. Leona was not wrong about her statement. She really knew how to use her tongue in different situations. Diana was wondering about the teasing tone in her lover's voice and the mischievous grin on her lips. Leona was planning something, she was sure about that. She had set something in mind and would do anything necessary to achieve that.
"I'm still wounded, honey. I won't be available for the activities you have on your mind today."
A disappointed expression appeared on Leona's face but it quickly faded and was replaced by comprehension. "I understand. I'll wait until your recovery."
Diana caressed Leona's cheek softly. "Good girl." She noticed the struggle in Leona's eyes. She was aware that holding back was not easy for the auburn-haired woman but she still managed to keep her feelings and her desires under control. "We should go in, Di."
Diana stared into Leona's eyes for a few more moments before she turned away and walked towards the door, opening it wide enough. She stepped aside and pointed inside. "After you."
Leona didn't need to be told twice and Diana followed her without hesitation.
"How are you feeling?" Leona asked after she had entered the room. Her gaze rested on Diana who laid on the bed that was way too large for only one person.
"Much better than in the past three days. The salve and the medicine the healer gave me really worked wonders."
Leona smiled. "I'm glad to hear that." She stepped closer to the bed. "May I see it myself?"
Diana didn't blush as she nodded. "Sure."
The Chosen of the Sun approached the bed and sat down, crawling over to Diana who had gotten up in the meantime. She sat on her knees, her hands rested on her upper thighs as she gave Leona a curious look. The auburn-haired woman grabbed the wrists of the silver-haired woman and moved her arms aside. She put her hands on Diana's waist, grabbing the hem of her shirt.
She lifted it up slowly, inspecting Diana's stomach. She didn't feel shame or embarrassment nor did she blush as she ogled her lover's toned abs. Diana hadn't lost any muscle mass since the last time they had trained together. She was not as muscular as Leona but still pretty muscular for a woman. She had been trained as a warrior under Leona's watch and later become an assassin. She was muscular and fast.
Leona didn't spot any bruises there. Only scars Diana had received during training in the past. Leona absentmindedly ran the tips of two of her fingers over these scars, missing the slight blush that appeared on Diana's cheeks. "Ehm, Leona?" she asked irritated but the slightly taller woman didn't respond to her.
Only when Diana snapped her fingers against Leona's forehead, she broke out of her state and returned to the presence. "Sorry," she muttered and lifted her gaze, looking at Diana who was looking at her in wonder.
"Everything's okay?" Diana asked.
Leona bit the inside of her cheek. "Yes, Di. I'm fine. I was just..."
"Checking me out?"
Colour appeared on Leona's cheeks. "Well...I would lie if I'd say I didn't..."
Diana ran her fingers over Leona's left cheek and put a strand of hair behind her ear. "I don't really mind you ogling me. It's not that you haven't seen everything before."
"You are right. I saw you in your birthday suit but..."
Diana raised an eyebrow, a playful look appeared in her eyes. "But what?"
"But it has been some time since the last time I have been able to see everything. I wouldn't mind refreshing my memories," she replied grinningly.
Diana laughed. "Of course, you wouldn't mind, you little pervert." She tapped Leona's forehead with two fingers, pushing her head a little away.
"Ey," Leona called out, her gaze not leaving the silver-haired woman who was giving her a cheeky grin. She brought her fingers to Diana's forehead, touching the silver glowing rune that adorned her skin like a tattoo. She did the same as Diana had done, watching her roll her eyes.
"You are so childish sometimes."
Leona smirked. "Don't tell me you don't like it when I'm not always serious."
"You are right but..."
"But what?"
"Nothing."
Leona smiled and put her hands on Diana's shoulders, pulling her closer. That way, she could better inspect Diana's beautiful face. "Your lips look better as well. They have fully healed."
Diana smiled but said nothing in return. All she did was staring into Leona's brown eyes. The other woman put a hand beneath Diana's chin and lifted it a little, bringing it even closer to her face. The distance was so little that Diana could feel her warm breath on her lips. "In that case, I can finally press mine on yours," Leona whispered before she brought their lips together.
Her heart began to beat much faster the first moment she felt Diana's soft lips on hers. She craved for more. She ran her tongue over Diana's bottom lip, her fingers had found their way into the Lunari's hair in the meantime. Only when Leona trapped Diana's bottom lip between her teeth, Diana parted her lips and granted Leona access to her mouth. The auburn-haired woman didn't hesitate to insert her tongue into her lover's mouth, brushing it past Diana's as she reached deeper.
Diana couldn't help but moan into the kiss, her mind went blank and all she could do was to allow it to happen. Her mind needed a little longer to assimilate what was going on. When she had finally managed to order her thoughts, she realised that her tongue had made its way in Leona's mouth on its own. It was mimicking the actions of Leona's tongue, exploring every reachable corner.
As sweet and passionate as the kiss was, it had to end. Both women pulled away when they ran out of air, breathing heavily as they stared into each other's eyes. Only at this very moment, Diana noticed how fast her heart was beating and how strong the tingling on her skin was. But these were not the only changes she noticed.
A certain area was also tingling, a strange feeling was in her stomach and, although that was already enough, Diana's nipples were hard. She didn't need to touch them to know that. They were rock hard and stood upright, threatening to pierce through the fabric of her shirt. Diana could only hope that Leona couldn't see anything. She knew Leona would devour her if she would be aware of how horny she was at the moment.
It was not that Diana didn't want to but she knew they wouldn't leave this room for several hours once they started. Diana really wanted to take a bath first before they would do something the Solari would consider inappropriate and forbidden.
Diana parted her lips, wanting to say something but no words escaped them.
Leona grinned. "What's wrong, Di? Cat caught your tongue?"
Diana shook her head and gulped, speaking as soon as she had found her voice again. "Nothing's wrong, honey."
Leona's grin became wider, her left hand grabbed the hem of Diana's shirt. "In that case, we might...," she stopped speaking as she spotted the look on Diana's face. "You are not in the mood?" she asked. Her voice reflected worry but also irritation.
Diana shook her head. "No, it's not that. I just want to take a bath first, if you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all," Leona responded. She grabbed Diana's hand and pulled her with her to the edge of the bed. She helped her up and wrapped an arm around her waist, walking with her to the room's exit. They followed the wide corridor, in front of which walls several statues stood, to its end and stepped through the door.
There was a swimming pool in the next room that was way too huge for one person. It was so large that more than one hundred people could fit in there without needing to be close to each other. The pool took ninety-five percent of the total expanse of the room and it was divided into several smaller pools, giving the girls the opportunity to go to another pool whenever they take a bath.
"Which one shall we take," asked Leona as she untangled herself from her lover and walked to the first pool near the left corner of the room. Diana followed her slowly. "I want to take a bath and not swim huge rounds. Let's take this one. It's not too small but not too large either."
Leona nodded. "Very well." She turned her head, a wide grin appeared on her lips as her gaze landed on Diana who was wondering what was going on in Leona's mind. Before she could say or do anything, Leona had already crossed the distance between them and put her hands on Diana's hips. She grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it up to her armpits, waiting for Diana to lift her arms above her head.
The Chosen of the Moon just did that, allowing the Chosen of the Sun to pull her shirt over her head and toss it aside. Leona's eyes immediately fell on the piece of fabric around Diana's chest. She didn't need longer than a second to come to the conclusion that it had to go. But first, she would have to remove Diana's pants which she did a few moments later.
Her eyes roamed all over Diana's smooth legs to her feet before they moved back to her juicy upper thighs. Leona licked her lips but said nothing to the silver-haired woman who blushed a little, being aware where her lover's gaze rested.
"I like what I see but you are still wearing too much clothing for my liking." She licked her lips again, regarding Diana with predatory eyes. Diana said nothing as she moved her hands to her back, trying to open her bra but failing.
Leona chuckled. "Let me help you, darling." She stepped behind Diana and brought her hands to the hook and eye of the silver garment, opening it with the first try. She slid it down Diana's arms and let it fall to the floor, wrapping her arms around the smaller woman who was still blushing. Diana felt the heat radiated by Leona's body as soon as Leona hugged her from behind and placed her hands right beneath her chest.
Leona put kisses on Diana's shoulders, on her neck and even on her jawline. She ran her tongue over Diana's sweaty skin, listening to her soft and quiet breaths. She knew that Diana felt comfortable, so she continued without thinking about it twice.
"Don't we want to go in the water first before you start cleaning my skin?" Diana asked.
Leona chuckled. "You are right, hon. But first...," she stopped midsentence and brought her hand to Diana's panties, rubbing the thin fabric with her index finger and thumb before she slowly pulled it down. She bent her knees and lowered her body when Diana did the same, pulling the piece of fabric down to her ankles. Diana lifted her feet one after the other, allowing Leona to remove the panties and toss them aside.
But before Leona had the chance to place one of her hands on the freshly revealed area, Diana wriggled out of her hug and stepped to the edge of the pool, looking at Leona over her shoulder. She noticed the Solari staring at her well-formed butt. Diana winked at the other woman and gave her a cheeky grin before she jumped into the water.
She turned around and moved close to the edge, resting her arms on the floor. She put her chin on her hands, looking up at Leona whose expression was priceless. Surprise was written all over the face of the Solari, who had not expected Diana to do that.
"What are you waiting for?" Diana asked playfully. Her eyes rested on Leona's face at first but quickly wandered to lower places. "You are wearing too much for my liking. That all needs to go."
"You are very demanding today, aren't you? Fine, I shall give you what you desire," Leona responded and pulled her shirt over her head, smirking as she saw Diana's eyes grow wide. The Lunari had expected Leona to wear a bra beneath her silking shirt, so she was more than just surprised by the fact that Leone was wearing none.
Nothing covered her c-cup breasts. Nothing protected them from Diana's hungry blue eyes. The woman couldn't help but shamelessly ogle her lover. Her eyes were glued to the juicy looking melons. Diana paid no attention to the tattoos on Leona's upper body or to her muscular stomach and muscular upper arms. She just stared at her breasts, unable to avert her gaze. Her cheeks reddened but she held her gaze, not planning to avert it.
Only when Leona removed the garments, that covered her body up from the waist down, did Diana's eyes wander. They fell on Leona's shaved womanhood. The pure, delightful sight heavily affected Diana. The pace of her heartbeat increased, the tingling on her skin became stronger and so did the heat between her legs. Leona's body was still sweaty from the training she had done not long ago, making things not easier for the horny Lunari.
Diana gulped and tried to hide her nervousness somehow but failed. Leona was aware of the effect she had on her lover. She knew that Diana's body was betraying her. She knew how much Diana enjoyed the sight, so she remained on the same spot, hands on her hips as she looked down at the blushing Lunari.
Like every other Rakkor, she was proud of her body and didn't mind showing it. She found great joy in presenting her nude form to her lover, seeing Diana's expression made her more than just happy. She found Diana's embarrassed expression adorable. She could regard her for hours or even days if she wanted but she had other things in mind than just staring at the Lunari.
She allowed Diana to regard her for a few more minutes before she finally stepped to the edge of the pool and put her left foot in the water, testing the temperature. It was pleasantly warm. Almost the ideal temperature for Leona's taste. The Rakkor sat down on the edge of the pool and let her legs dangle in the water for a few moments. Then she slipped into the water and made her way to Diana who had not moved an inch in the meantime. She was still standing in front of the pool wall, her arms still rested on the floor. Only the position of her head had changed. She was no longer looking straight forward but to the right side, from where Leona was coming.
The Sun's Chosen made her way to her opposite, stopping right behind her. She pressed her body against Diana, trapping her between herself and the pool wall. Diana's front was pressed against the wall while Leona's front was pressed against Diana's back. Diana couldn't help but blush as she felt Leona's breasts against her skin.
Leona wrapped her arms around Diana's shoulders, putting her hands on hers. She intertwined their fingers and pinned Diana's hands on the floor, taking away any chance of breaking free of her. She put her head on Diana's left shoulder, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Now I have you right where I want you."
Diana said nothing in return and just regarded Leona out of the corner of her eye. The auburn-haired woman removed her left hand from Diana's and brought it to her chin, grabbing and lifting it up. She started to kiss Diana's neck, eventually running her tongue over her skin. After some time, she started to use her teeth, leaving behind bruises that will turn into love bites.
Diana had her eyes closed, her lips were parted so that low moans could escape them. She enjoyed what her lover was doing, so she didn't want her to stop. She tried nothing to stop her, hoping that Leona wouldn't stop from her side. The auburn-haired woman wasn't planning on stopping so soon. Things had just started and she was looking forward to doing more things with her beloved.
Leona switched sides and began to kiss the other side of Diana's neck but also her shoulders, her jawline and eventually her cheek and ear. She smirked as she ran her tongue over Diana's ear, noticing how loud and fast her breathing had become. "You are enjoying this, aren't you?" Leona whispered into Diana's ear.
Diana tried to nod but realized that Leona's hand prevented her from moving her chin up and down. All she could do was to part her lips and speak to Leona. "I do enjoy it."
Leona's smile became wider. "That's what I wanted to hear." She took Diana's earlobe in her mouth, nibbling on it. She removed her other hand from Diana's and placed it on her left hip, her fingers circling the soft skin. But her hand didn't remain there for long. It wandered after a few moments, reaching Diana's butt. Leona bit her bottom lip in anticipation as the tips of all of her fingers sunk in the flesh of Diana's left butt cheek. It was so soft and easy to knead, granting Leona a lot of joy as she toyed with it.
"Your butt does not only look great in the pants you usually wear, but it also feels great in my hand. I really like your butt, Di."
"Thank you," Diana responded between moans.
"Of course there are lots of other things I really like about your body but your ass is by one of the best things. Your face, your breasts and your ass are my favourites."
Diana muttered something unintelligible but Leona didn't ask her to repeat it. She rather continued kneading Diana's left butt cheek, switching to the right cheek after some time. She kneaded it as well, the moans that escaped Diana's lips were music to her ears.
After a few more minutes, Leona decided to take the next step. She removed her hand from Diana's butt and used her legs to spread Diana's thighs, bringing her hand to her most sacred area. She slowly ran her fingers over the soft skin, noticing how tense Diana's body became. The closer her fingers got to the pair of southern lips, the faster and louder Diana's breath and the tenser her shoulders became.
Only when Leona's fingertips touched her southern lips, Diana's body started to relax. A loud moan quickly followed as Leona ran her fingers over them. "So soft and slick, I like that," Leona murmured into Diana's ear. Her erotic sounding voice made Diana even hornier than she already was.
A quiet whimper escaped Diana's lips as she felt one of Leona's fingers on her clit. It was her thumb which she pressed on it, turning Diana's whimpers into loud moans. Not only loud but also frequent. The Solari buried her face in Diana's neck again, kissed, licked and bit as she had done before. She circled Diana's clit and caressed her folds, doing her best to make Diana feel great. The loud moans that escaped Diana's lips proved to Leona that she was doing a great job.
The Lunari was still trapped between Leona and the wall, so she could do nothing but enjoy the pleasure she received. She couldn't turn around and satisfy Leona in return. She would love to do that but she couldn't. All she could do was to enjoy the waves of pleasure that rushed through her body and made her feel great.
The intensity of these waves became even stronger when Leona's index finger made its way into Diana's cave. Her inner walls tightened around the intruder but didn't resist for too long. They became looser eventually, allowing Leona to move her finger inside Diana's womanhood. She inserted a second finger after some time, searching for Diana's g-spot. She found it quickly and pressed her fingers against it, making Diana throw her head back and press out a very loud moan. "Oh, Leo...Yes, right there...," she whimpered.
Leona's smile reached from one ear to the other as she followed Diana's demands. She pulled her fingers in and out, hitting Diana's g-spot constantly. When Diana's pussy was wide enough, she added a third finger and pleasured her girlfriend as best as she could.
"Leona...I think I'm cumming soon if you continue like that," Diana moaned out.
Leona pressed her lips against the spot behind Diana's right ear. "It's fine, my dear. Let it all out."
It didn't take long for Leona to bring her lover over the edge. Diana's legs began to shake, her heartbeat became much faster and the tingling between her legs became stronger. She threw her head back and let a very loud moan escape her lips as the strongest wave of pleasure she had witnessed so far rushed through her body.
Leona hugged Diana tightly as she rode out her orgasm, resting her head on Diana's shoulder once her body had stopped shaking. She pulled her fingers out of Diana's sex, the sticky liquid that stuck on them was quickly washed away by the water. She grabbed Diana's hands and intertwined their fingers, pressing her lips on her temple.
Diana was breathing heavily, exhausted from the great orgasm that had shaken her body. She needed several minutes to relax and Leona gave her that time, doing nothing but hugging her and running her thumbs over the back of Diana's hands. She kissed Diana's cheek one last time before she let her go, moving away from her so that Diana could turn around and face her.
The Lunari approached the Solari and wrapped her arms around her neck, bringing their faces together. She locked lips with Leona, biting her bottom lip to demand entrance. Leona parted her lips, allowing Diana's tongue to enter her mouth. The Lunari's tongue raged inside the Solari's mouth, fighting with her tongue, winning and exploring every reachable corner. Leona's tongue was not idle in the meantime, it also found its way in the other woman's mouth, exploring it as well.
The tongue kiss was sweet and passionate, lasting several minutes until both women were forced to pull away because they had run out of air. They stared at each other, their well-developed chests rose and fell with each breath they made. The hunger in their eyes was unmistakable. They still wanted each other so badly. What they had just done was not enough to satisfy them.
"I guess it's my time to return the favour," Diana spoke, her voice sounded very erotic. She put her hands on Leona's belly, caressed it a few times before she moved her hands upwards, reaching her breasts.
Leona hummed. "I like that idea but maybe we should do that elsewhere. Not inside the pool."
Diana raised an eyebrow. "Why not here?"
Leona put her hand on Diana's chin and brushed her fingers over her bottom lip. "Maybe because I want you to make use of your tongue and... That's hardly possible in the pool." The smirk on Leona's lips was wide.
"Shall we go to the bedroom then?" Diana asked.
"That's a great idea," Leona admitted. She walked to the edge of the pool and pulled herself up, sitting down on the floor. She got up and helped Diana out of the pool, wrapping her arms around her as soon as stood. Leona hugged her beloved tightly, running her hands over her back.
"What are you doing?" asked Diana. Irritation and curiosity could be heard in her voice.
"Drying us," Leona replied quickly. The temperature of her skin became warmer, pleasantly warm but not too hot. She increased the temperature of her body to make them dry, stepping away when the last water drop had vanished. Diana ran a hand through her hair, noticing that it was also dry. "Impressive."
Leona smirked. "This is only one of the many things I can do with my powers. What can you do with your powers, Di?"
A thoughtful look appeared on Diana's face. "I can't imagine any everyday life situation where I get an advantage with my powers. Well, maybe I could cool you if you are feeling too warm but that's it."
"The heat doesn't bother me no matter how warm it is."
"I see."
Leona put her hand on Diana's cheek and caressed it. "Let's go to the bedroom. I cannot wait to see what you are able to do with your tongue." Her grin reached from one ear to the other, the lust in her eyes was unmistakable. Diana nudged her shoulder gently, giving her beloved a teasing grin as she stepped away from her and slowly walked towards the exit, knowing that Leona's eyes rested on her butt.
She swayed her hips with each step she made, giving Leona a great view. The auburn-haired woman noticed that her mouth was watering but she neither blushed nor feel embarrassed about the behaviour of her body. It was only natural. It was only natural that Diana's naked well-formed ass was turning her on a lot.
Leona followed the pale-skinned woman, putting her hand on her ass once she caught up to her. Diana turned her head a little, looking at Leona but saying nothing to her. She didn't avert her gaze a single time on their way back to the bedroom. Neither did Leona.
Only when they reached the huge bed, they stopped looking at each other and glanced at the bed instead. Diana lifted her left forearm a little, giving Leona a signal. The Sun's Chosen didn't hesitate to obey her lover, lying down on the bed. She bent her legs and spread her thighs, lifting her head a little to look at Diana who was regarding her from head to toe like a predator its prey. Leona was biting her bottom lip in anticipation, noticing Diana doing the same.
The pale woman got on her knees right in front of the bed, her gaze rested on Leona's womanhood. She brought her hands to Leona's thighs, spreading them even further. She brought her head closer to the area where Leona wanted her the most at this very moment but she stopped a few inches before it.
Leona could already feel Diana's warm breath on her folds, her anticipation grew stronger with each passing second but Diana didn't act as expected. Instead of bringing her lips to Leona's folds, Diana pressed them on her left thigh, trailing kisses to her most sacred area but not touching it in any way. Her focus remained on Leona's thigh, knowing that the teasing would annoy Leona.
"Stop teasing, Di," Leona spoke, her voice was calmer than Diana had expected. A shit-eating grin appeared on Diana's pale lips as she brought her lips to Leona's other thigh, placing kisses there and even biting her skin gently. An annoyed groan escaped Leona's lips as she realised that Diana was finding great joy in teasing her and letting her wait.
She decided to take things into her own hands. She brought her hand to the area where she wanted Diana's head to be, brushing her fingertips over her slick folds. "If you don't want to satisfy me, I'll do it myself," Leona teased.
Diana's eyes grew wider, curiosity appeared in them as she watched Leona touching herself. She had not seen Leona ever doing that before. It looked as if Leona knew exactly what she was doing.
Her fingers took turns in circling her clit and caressing her folds. Diana was wondering how often Leona had done that already. How often she had touched herself before. Diana had never done that before. She had never pleasured herself in her life. The first time she had felt sexual pleasure had been the day Leona had taken her virginity.
Diana had stopped kissing Leona's thick thigh, her eyes were drawn to Leona's sex. She couldn't stop watching the auburn-haired woman touching herself. She couldn't deny how sexy this looked. So erotic that the lust Diana was feeling was increased by a lot. Her hand moved on its own and reached the area between her own legs, mimicking the motions of Leona's hand.
"What a beautiful sight. It's truly a feast to my eyes," Leona commented amused, spreading her southern lips with her fingers. "As much as I like touching myself while you're watching, I really want your tongue inside me. I really want your tongue licking over my vaginal lips."
Diana didn't need to be told twice. She passed the remaining distance, letting her tongue out of her mouth. She ran the strong muscle over Leona's folds, eliciting a low moan from her lips. She didn't hesitate to lick again and again, causing more moans to escape Leona's lips. The more time passed, the more frequent and louder they became. Leona was really enjoying what her lover was able to do with her tongue.
Her fingers were entangled in the silver mane, pulling slightly from time to time. She even pressed Diana's head further down against her sex. She was watching Diana while she was pleasuring her with her tongue but she was also paying attention to the hand between Diana's legs. Leona watched with great pleasure how Diana fingered herself while licking her. It was a feast for her eyes which made her much hornier than she already was.
She really wanted Diana's tongue inside her folds and she didn't hesitate to tell Diana. She demanded her to insert her tongue and Diana obeyed without hesitation, sticking it as deep as possible inside her. She felt Leona's inner walls tightening around her tongue as soon as it was inside but they relaxed with time, allowing her to move it.
Leona's moans became louder, her free hand wandered to her left breast and started to knead it softly while her other hand still gripped Diana's hair and pushed her head against her sex. She slightly moved her hips rhythmically, increasing the intensity of the pleasure she felt.
She felt fingers on her clit, knowing immediately without looking that Diana had brought her free hand to her sex. Leona tilted her head back, closed her eyes and parted her lips to let loose a very loud moan. She had to admit that Diana was better with her tongue than she had expected.
Much better.
Her orgasm approached much faster than expected and overwhelmed her before she was ready. She cried out her lover's name as her inner walls contracted and released a sticky liquid that tasted a little salty when it flowed into Diana's wide-open mouth. The Lunari made sure she caught every single drop, swallowing as soon as she was sure that not more was coming.
She pulled her tongue out of Leona's sex, lifting her head to look at Leona who was still exhausted from the immense orgasm that had just shaken her world. She needed several minutes to calm down and recover but then she sat up and took Diana's face in her hands, rubbing her cheeks. "You just proved that your tongue is not only useful for talking."
Diana grinned. "What you were doing to yourself...Looked so sexy. Where did you learn that?"
Leona chuckled and began to laugh. She didn't stop, not even when Diana raised a brow and frowned. "What's so funny?" Diana asked.
"Nothing, it's just that... I don't know how to explain it. You thinking that this is something I learned from someone is so cute. There was no one who showed me that. I taught it myself by experimenting with my body. You are so adorable and innocent, Di."
A heavy blush could be seen on Diana's cheeks. She was embarrassed and had no idea why she had asked such a silly question. Leona couldn't help but smile at Diana's embarrassment. She just looked too cute.
"Sorry for asking," she muttered.
"No need to be sorry," Leona assured as she caressed her lover's chin. "I can show you how to please yourself in case that you feel needy when I'm not around."
"I think I already saw enough to know how it works."
"Then show me."
Diana's cheeks reddened a little. "I showed you already."
Leona's smirk became wider. "Then show me again."
"I have a better idea."
Leona raised a brow. "Hm?"
Diana moved closer to her lover, putting her hand on her belly. She ran her fingers over her soft skin, drawing a few circles before she let her hand wander, reaching Leona's womanhood. She inserted two of her fingers without a warning, feeling no resistance as she pushed them deeper inside the Solari who couldn't help but moan out loudly.
Diana moved even closer to Leona, wrapping an arm around her back. She pressed her body against Leona's, moaning out loudly as her nipples touched Leona's. She didn't hesitate to bring their faces together and lock lips with her beloved. It was weird for Leona to taste herself but she got used to it quickly.
Their tongues fought for dominance but no one ended up as the winner. Diana moaned loudly into the kiss as she felt two of Leona's fingers entering her cave. They pressed against her g-spot, causing a strong wave of pleasure to rush through her body.
The Chosen's lips didn't separate for several minutes, their fingers remained inside the other even after they had pulled away. They shifted their position from sitting to lying, Diana on top of Leona who kneaded her butt with her other hand. Diana's other hand went to Leona's right breast, cupping the soft flesh.
They didn't change their position again, not even when they made each other come. They laid in the middle of the bed, their arms were wrapped around each other. They pressed their bodies together, Diana's head rested on Leona's bosom, Leona's fingers were in Diana's hair and softly caressed her scalp.
"I really enjoyed that. You have become much better since the last time."
"Thank you," Diana muttered against Leona's soft rounds.
Leona caressed the back of Diana's head, kissing the top of her head. "I'm glad we are no longer enemies. I hated every second of hunting you and fighting you. I hated it so much."
Diana removed her head from Leona's bosom and looked up at her. "I hated being away from you. I'm glad we solved our problems."
Leona pressed a kiss on the smaller woman's forehead. "Now we only have to solve the conflict between the Solari and the Lunari. Between sun and moon. We have to convince them that Solari and Lunari are not enemies. That bloodshed is pointless."
"I'm certain they will listen to us. It won't be easy but I'm sure we can convince them."
Leona pulled Diana much closer to her, putting her head on her shoulder. "Together we will achieve anything."
"Yes, we will."
