Author's Notes: I am very sorry I have been so long in updating. As I have
said before, we've been doing projects at school. Also, there was that
little thing I had to deal with. Well, anyway, I'm back with Chapter Nine.
The answer to the riddle will be coming up in a moment here. This chapter
is sorta shortish. You'll have to live with it. I was not completely sure
what to do with it. But 10 11 and 12 are all longer, and have a nice twist.
Here we go.
Silver-nex: As always, thanks for being such a loyal reviewer. You make me wanna continue this story.
hikari_tenshi4: Hey... Thanks again for the correct answer. I would like you to contact me when you are done with this. I need a Beta for the next few chapters and some help tying them up. Muchas Gracias.
Chapter 9: Heavenly Host
What a blinding light all around us. Claws and fangs faded from our bodies and again we were humans. Yet we are no longer alone. Two beautiful beings stand before us, like the angels of Hyne, but these seem more like something out of a fairy tale. Still who they are is obvious. Eden and Alexander, in an angelic human form. Both of the GFs were known for their works over the powers of light.
Eden looked down at me and touched my shoulder, "I am glad you have made it. You are both so strong. You will be a great addition..."
The more ancient, knightly voice of Alexander spoke out, "Eden, mind your tongue. We can do not but give them a day of recovery and strengthening before the final leg of the journey."
"That is very kind of you Alexander," I said. These two holy GFs were ones I kept with me, just as Seifer always my opposite, carried Gilgamesh and Diablos.
Seifer just picked up the bag I'd dropped when we'd been blinded. I can't be sure he wants to stay the night here. Still he willingly follows as Eden leads us to a room and informs us we'll be called for dinner. Seifer scares me when he thinks like this. Almasy is known by any who are close to him as a man that acts first then thinks. So his behavior startles me now, which is never good. Seifer doesn't think this hard.
Steam rising around my wet body was the very essence of heaven, well, that and Seifer. Droplets of hot water are running down our bodies. This steam is cloaking our actions from the outside world. This was out second shower in an hour, seeing as the first one turned into a bit of a moment of weakness for us both. Touching to reassure us that we were not only living but whole turned into a fondling which turned into a short messy bought of shower sex. Of course then we needed another shower. Now Seifer's fingers are tangled in my hair, helping me shampoo it. Such comforting motions his fingers could make.
Seifer helps me rinse out my dark hair, then he pulls away to take care of his own hair. Why is he being so distant? It's definitely not like him, it's like me actually. I stop his hands, turning him, making him look into my eyes. The darkness there was not Seifer's but that of Diablos and Gilgamesh. They hated this place, so pure, filled with the light of holy things. With an exaggerated sigh I release him and slip out of the shower. A fluffy white towel goes around my waist as I exit the white marble bathroom.
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't be acting like this, but don't blame me. How can I fight the depressing mood of my dark guardians, Gilgamesh and Diablos? The two dislike Eden and Alexander with a vengeance, and won't let me be happy. Poor Squall, he probably thinks I'm mad at him, or mopping. Can I help me frown when an angelic woman comes to our door and guides us to dinner? It's going to be a very long night.
