The Village of Roses.
Robin had convinced Amon it would be fun to go to a festival. She said it would be fun to dance for a little while, relax, have fun and catch up on gossip. After a day of begging he relented and they would stay for the night to join in, in the festivities. Robin put on a black dress that fitted her body and went to the ground. She took her hair out of her usual hair style of two pig tails and she had her cloak on. Amon just put on his same outfit, but it was clean. Amon swore that every time she dressed like that, she looked older and more beautiful, though he told no one. They went to the main festive area and watched as they did a ceremonial lighting of a fire pit.
"I pray that the couples who have come to this party received the blessing they ask for. I also pray that we have a good year for harvests, Amen." A holy looking man said. Many people either nodded their heads or said Amen. Amon and Robin had no clue that this festival was for couples who wanted to conceive and get married. Robin and Amon split up for a little bit, Amon wanting to see some knives while Robin looked at some hair brushes. As she looked at her self in a mirror a man appeared behind her.
"Oh beautiful maiden, my I ask thee of thy name?" he asked, bowing a little. Robin's face went a little red.
"Um, Robin." She said. Amon was looking for Robin when he spotted her talking with a man about his own age.
"Robin is such a beautiful name for a beautiful maiden as yourself. My name is Lucas. May I escort you around here? You appear to have no husband or sweet heart. Which is such a same for you are the prettiest maiden here." He said, eyeing her body. Robin felt a bit uncomfortable, but she saw Amon.
"I'm sorry, but my sweet heart is here. Good day." She said as she put the mirror down. She went up to Amon and kissed him on the lips. "Pretend to be my husband. Or else that man is going to keep pestering me." Robin whispered. Amon nodded and put his arm around her waist.
They walked past the man, who was throwing dirty looks at Amon. The two walked around the stalls of goods and sampled some of the wine that was being past about. Amon never left Robin's side the whole time they walked around. As they conversed with others and with themselves. Around noon, the two stopped in front of a small play stage.
"The legend of the Rose Maiden. It sounds so familiar, let's watch it. Please Amon." Robin said, although she was already pulling him to a seat.
"Sure, why not." He said. 'Why the fuck am I doing this? Aren't I the cold hearted prince? How can this shadow of a woman make me so...soft?' he thought. The play began and the crowd watched. Unknown to Robin, the man from earlier watched. The narrator began to read the tale as the actors acted it out.
"Once, long ago there was a prince whose heart was colder than ice. His people were sad that their ruler was not kind to them and they wished for a maiden who would warm his icy heart. On a full moon, an old widowed woman was sitting in her rocker. She was sitting in her flower garden, waiting for her two daughters to come to them. For they had terrible news for their eldest daughter. The younger daughter was a dark haired beauty with icy eyes. That daughter would soon be leaving to marry. The other daughter, the elder of the two, was a fair haired beauty with endless green eyes. She was promised to no one, but many men lusted for her. Each daughter was named after the flowers they most loved. The fair haired beauty was named Rose and the dark haired beauty was named Lily. Around their village, they were known as the Rose Maiden for Roses' kindness and the Tiger Lily, for Lily's quick temper, grace and kindness. Both women loved their widowed mother very deeply. However when they came to her that night, they saw how sad she was.
'Rose,' their mother began.
'Yes mother,' the girl said.
'My dear Rose you have been asked in hand. However, it is by two men. One man is our cold hearted prince. He may be rich and with title, but he is cold in heart. The other man is our neighbor's son. He may be poor and with not title, but he will love and lust after you. If you marry either, you must choose well.' the old woman said. The daughter took the news with grace, while her sister Tiger Lily was out raged.
'Mother,' the elder said, 'I do not wish to choose my self. However I both men are excellent in Archery. I wish to be the prize for the winner.' She said, her mother knew what she meant.
The old woman sent messages to the prince and the neighbor's son. They accepted. However, the poor man wanting more than just the woman also suggested the winner get the best pig from each man the prince accepted, but did not care. He had seen the beautiful Rose Maiden and wanted her. People wondered why the prince would want such a woman when he could have any of the women from court. However, unknown to all but the prince, he had met the fair woman before and was treated kindly by her. She melted his heart form ice. It took the prince a while to realize this and when he did, the neighbors' son realized how beautiful and how ripe the woman was. The next day, the contest was held. The whole kingdom watched. Each man had a pig ready and had their bows inspected by the two sisters, both were good in archery if you could believe that. They said both bows were fine and the contest began. The prince won the contest and the Rose Maiden was pleased. She did not care if everyone though the prince was cold. He had a year prior to this, met her and opened his icy heart to her. She had secretly fallen in love. However, the neighbor's son was not pleased and vowed revenge. The prince and the Rose Maiden were to be married soon. Tiger Lily and the Widow walked Rose Maiden down the aisle to the prince. When they stopped, the prince went up to them.
'Milord, if you hurt my sister I will kill you.' Tiger Lily said. The prince just nodded and the widow handed her eldest to the prince." The speaker took a quick break for a drink of water.
"What do you think so far Amon; does it not sound like an unusual fairy tale?" Robin asked Amon.
"It does." The narrator resumed speaking.
"As the prince and Rose Maiden looked at each other, the neighbor's son had a bow ready to shot the prince in the heart. The priest said the final vows and the angered young man shot his arrow. The Rose Maiden saw the arrow and pushed the prince out of the way. The guards then killed the young man and the prince looked at his bride. She was safe, the arrow missed her. The prince was happy his bride was safe and sound and brought her into his embrace. The wedding guest cheered as they kissed their first kiss. After the wedding, the widow was invited to live in the palace with the prince and her daughter for the rest of her days. The prince grew to a kind man and loved his wife dearly. They had many children and the people were happy that their lord was no longer cruel and cold. The prince and the Rose maiden lived happily ever after." The narrator finished. Everyone cheered and the actors bowed.
"That was a good fairy tale." Robin said as they left.
"I agree, are you hungry Robin." Amon asked.
"Yes. Amon are you an actor for the king?" Robin asked.
"No, try again." He chuckled. Later in the afternoon near sun set, Robin noticed an archery contest.
"Amon, you can shoot an arrow, right?" Robin asked as her arm encircled his arm.
"Yes, why?" he then noticed the archery contest.
"Do you want to try? I plan on entering." She said as they walked over to the sign ups.
"Sure, I'll try." He said. They went up to the man taking names.
"We both would like to sign up." Robin said with a smile.
"I'm sorry miss, but no women are allowed to compete. Your husband can, but you can't." the man said. Robin was disappointed at this.
"Well then, sign me up." Amon said. Robin looked at him.
"I'm still going to do it, even if you are not allowed." He whispered in her ear as they left the sign up area. After a few minutes the contest began. Robin sat with other women as they watched their men in the contest. Amon had no clue to why he was doing this except to make Robin happy. 'I'm getting soft.' He thought.
He stood next to the men in his age group. The boys ages 15-18 were first. They did three rounds and a boy with blond hair won. The men ages 19-25, the group Amon was in, were next. Amon had no problem shooting his bow, though he preferred his own. His arrow hit center, a few other men also hit the center of their own targets. Robin wished she could be shooting at that moment, she knew she would win. After the second round, only Amon and another man were left. The other man smiled at him friendly and Amon nodded. They shot their targets and Amon hit dead center. The other man shook his hand and Amon went over to where the winners of each division were standing.
Robin left the women she was talking with and went up to Amon. He saw her approaching him and turned to face her. Her cheeks were full of color, her smile was wide and she hid something behind her back.
"I'm glad you're doing fine, just one more round to go." She said when she came up to him.
"Thanks, what do you mean by one more round?" he asked.
"Well, Hanna told me that all the winners of each age group go against each other to see who is the best of all. The winner gets a woman who is randomly chosen for the night. Hanna told me it is only if the woman or man is not married or a engaged. There are rules to what you can and can't do, but hey it sounds like fun!" Robin said with a smile. "Oh, it is based off of that play; the girl is called the Rose Maiden."
"Hmm, sounds interesting. You don't plan on being the chosen girl do you?" he asked as a joke. Robin playfully hit him on the head.
"Even if I did, I bet you couldn't win. So I would have to spend the night with a complete stranger." She said and laughed at his reaction.
"If you were chosen, I would win and I'm still going to win. Just you watch Robin." He said.
'One of the few times he's said my name. Hmm I wonder...'
"Fine, if you win I'll cook for the next week. However if you loose, you have to do the cooking and dance with me tonight." She said.
"Fine, but if I do win you cook and you can't use your powers. I know that's how you've been using them." He said.
"Deal." She replied. Before Amon could do anything Robin gave him a quick kiss on the lips for luck and walked away. Amon watched her walk away, and then noticed Lucas, the man from earlier who had hit on Robin. He won his division and stood next to Amon.
"I know you two are not married or sweet hearts. So here's my little idea, if you want to see that the beauty traveling with you is still alive by night fall, that is. We'll make a little wager, the girl and your best horse for me if I win or if you happen to win, then you can keep the girl and my best horse. What do you say, however before you do say something look behind your precious Robin." He said, Amon saw out of the corner of his eye a man with a short dagger standing near Robin and the women.
"I agree to your terms." Amon said, he wouldn't risk Robin's life for nothing. After ten minutes, the last few divisions finished and all ten men stood before the judges. Most of the village was there in the crowds watching this event. Amon felt someone's eyes on him and looked around, in the large crowd he found Robin staring at him. She gave him a smile and he nodded.
"I'd like to thank all of the men who have competed in the compaction. These ten men who stand before us are the best in their age groups, now we will see who is the best of all of them. But first we must pick the Rose Maiden." The head judge said. A man was sent out to randomly pick a woman. He saw Robin sitting with some girls and went up to her.
"Miss, are you promised to anyone?" he asked.
"No sir, why?" Robin asked.
"Good, then you shall be the Rose Maiden." He said and helped her to her feet and took her to the judge's area.
"Our Rose Maiden!" the man said aloud and the people cheered. Amon saw Robin and how deeply she blushed standing in front of so many people.
'Great! Now I have to beat nine others! I have some great luck don't I?' Amon thought. Robin was just hoping she didn't look stupid. The contest began and six men lost. They went to the judges and got their small reward. Each got one silver coin. Amon and the other man were still there. Robin was glad, she hoped Amon would win. As the men lined up for the next round, Robin's heart was going a mile a minute. The men let their arrows lose and was glad when Amon's hit near the center. However, the man from earlier that day also hit close to the center.
"Our last two champions, who will win this years' Rose Maiden?" the head judged asked the crowd. Most of the crowd hoped Amon would win and the rest hoped Lucas would win. Robin hoped Amon would win the contest. She looked threw the changing tent she was dragged into.
"Archers Ready! Shoot!" the man said. Both men shot their arrows and Amon's hit dead center while Lucas hit a white line. The people cheered and Amon looked at Lucas.
"Keep your dam horse, but never step near her again or so help me, I'll kill you." Amon said and went over to the judging area.
"Well it appears you are happy! Now it is time to give you your reward kind sir." The man said. Then he faced the crowd.
"We have our champion and a Rose Maiden, now let us unite them!"
"Bring out the priest and Rose Maiden." A man called. Robin was brought out with a priest.
When Amon saw her, his eyes almost popped out. Her hair was brushed out and her clothes were different. She had on a white dress that was made of soft material and had red embroidered roses on it. The dress hugged all of Robin's unseen curves and her breasts; the dress went to the ground and trailed a little. On her head were roses and a veil. On her lips were red dye and she had light eye shadow.
"It is a tradition that the Rose Maiden marries the Champion for the day. It is not real, but you could marry her for real." The man told Amon quietly. Amon closed his mouth and as Robin came up to him he felt his heart go faster.
"I bet I look stupid." Robin whispered when she came up to Amon.
"No, Robin you look like an angel." He said, kissing her hand.
"Now it is time for all the couple who have come to get married as well." the judge said and about two dozen couples stood behind Amon and Robin. Robin and Amon were gently pushed forward by Hanna and her sweet heart to the make shift alter.
"Don't worry, this is just for tonight, however don't do anything that is against the bible." The priest said. Robin was clueless as to what was going on. But put her small hand in Amon's larger hand.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to unite this man and woman. If anyone objects, speak now or forever hold thy peace." The priest paused, and then began again. "Today we unite the Champion and the Rose Maiden in holy matrimony. Champion do you agree to love, honor and cherish this woman as long as you both shall live? Will you be faithful, loyal, and true? Threw good times and bad times, threw sickness and in health? For as long as you both shall live? To keep yourself for her and her alone?" the priest asked Amon. He looked at Robin and said.
"I do."
"Rose Maiden, do you agree to love, honor, and obey this man as long as you both shall live? Will you be faithful, loyal and true? Threw the good times and bad times, threw sickness and in health? For as long as you both shall live? To keep yourself for him and him alone?" the priest asked Robin. She looked at Amon and replied.
"I do."
"The ring?" The man said to the boy next to him.
"I can't find it sir." He whispered, Amon heard this and took out his mother's ring.
"I have one, it won't be a problem." Amon said.
"Repeat after me, with this ring I thee wed." the priest said. Amon and Robin faced each other; Robin had a silent tear go down her blushing cheeks. Amon held Robins' hand up as he placed the ring on her finger.
"With this ring, I thee Wed." he said. He looked deeply into Robin's eyes and saw mixed emotions in there.
"I pronounce you Man and wife, you may kiss the bride." The priest said.
Amon leaned down and kissed Robin on the lips, his hands went around her waist. The other couples, their families, and the crowd that remained cheered for Robin and Amon. They were given a little pouch; in it was ten pieces of sliver. However Robin gave Hanna and her now husband two silvers and then Robin and Amon left to see the sun set before going to the dance. They watched the sun set over the lake; Amon looked at Robin against the setting sun. To him she looked like a goddess. Amon pulled Robin into his arms and kissed her passionately on the lips. Robin forgot to breathe as she put her arms around his neck and his arms went around her waist. After a few minutes, they pulled apart for air.
"You look like an angel, my lovely wife." Amon said as he looked down at her.
"Thank you, my dear husband." She said with a smile.
Amon kissed her again; he had never felt so alive. The music started up a little while later and the new 'married' couple went to the dance floor. The two danced with each other for hours, their eyes never leaving each others. Near the end of the dance, the music was slow. Amon held Robin close to him; he noticed her eyes were glazed with unshed tears. Robin blinked her and the tears started to fall.
"Robin, why are you crying?" he asked as he brushed the tear lightly away.
"Because Amon, I love you and even if it is only for tonight, I'm happy I could be your wife." Robin said as more silent tears went down her cheeks.
"I love you too, Robin. I want you to know I'm happy to be your husband tonight." He said and he held her closer to him and kissed her lips.
Then all the couples, including Robin and Amon, went to where the fire pit was. The fire pit was now down to the embers.
"Every year, as everyone knows, we the people who wish for children jump over the embers of the holy fire. I hope for all that you may have your wish granted." With a jester of his hand, the Lord of this village and a few other villages, the band started to play up a fast beat music. The lord and his wife were the first to jump, they landed on their feet and the people cheered. Hanna saw Robin and went over to her.
"Robin, come now. You two should jump for the fun of it." she said kindly.
"Why do people jump over the fire pit?" Robin asked.
"Because it is a tradition, if a couple want to know if they will have a child this year they jump. If both land on their feet, then they will have a baby. If only one lands on their feet, they won't have a baby." Hanna said.
Robin blushed a little and Amon looked down at her. Hanna joined her husband and they both landed on their feet. She was smiling and her husband was also happy. Robin and Amon noticed that every time a couple landed on their feet, the crowd where cheer for them.
"Come on Amon, it would be fun." Robin said as she pulled him over and he followed. After six couples, it was Robin and Amon to jumped. They jumped over the fire and both landed gracefully on their feet. Again the crowd cheered and the music kept going to a faster beat.
"Robin. Come with me." He said as they walked away from the fire pit. She followed him to the Inn they were staying at. They happen to be sharing a room that had only one bed that fit two. Robin was not sure what Amon was thinking, but she followed him nonetheless. When they went into their room, Amon locked the door and looked at her in the moon light. She looked at him and her tears kept falling. Amon went to her and held her in his arms.
"Robin, as my wife, I never want you to be sad. So please don't cry." He said, kissing her tears away. Robin put her arms around his neck.
"Amon, the only reason why I am crying is because I'm happy. Not because I am sad." She said and kissed him. Amon took off the crown of roses and the veil and picked Robin up bridal style. He kissed her lips and walked her over to the bed, as he laid her down. Robin pulled him down on top of her. Amon's hands went up and down her back, as her hands went to his chest. Amon took off his cloak and boots as Robin took off her shoes. Amon kissed her again, this time his tongue ran across her lower lip. She moaned a little and his tongue entered her mouth. Their tongues fought for control and she let Amon win. Her hands tangled them in Amon's hair as his hands roamed over her body. Robin started to unbutton Amon's Chinese styled over coat as he undid the ties in the back of Robin's dress. When Robin finished, she pushed it off Amon's shoulder and pulled up his under shirt, exposing his washboard abs. she ran her hands over his well muscled, but scared chest. Amon finished the undoing the ties and before he took off her dress, he stopped kissing her. Robin looked up at him confused.
'Amon, get yourself in check, you can't be doing this! You're not married to her or at the very least promised to her!' Amon's conscious said to him. He looked down at the young woman beneath him.
"Robin, before this goes any further I want to know you fully want to go threw with his." He said to her, although he wanted to make love to her, he had to know if she wanted it. She looked at him with the endless green eyes.
"Amon, I want you. I want you to do this with me, please." She said. Amon didn't need her to say anything more. Amon gently pulled the top part of Robin's dress off, exposing her firm and round breasts. Amon nuzzled the middle area of her breasts and his hands went down her sides. He kissed her again, as his right hand started to massage her right breast and his mouth went to her left nipple. He sucked and teased her nipple and his hand massages her breasts for a few minutes. As he did this, she started to moan with pleasure. Amon switched treatments on her breasts and her hands entangled in his dark locks.
"Amon." Robin said as she closed her eyes and enjoyed this new found pleasure.
After a few minutes Amon stopped, Robin whined for more, but he kissed her passionately again. She undid his belt as he stood up with her. Her dress pooled at her feet as his pants followed suit. Amon was surprised to see she wore no undergarments, but didn't care. Robin stood in front of the man she loved in all her glory. Amon noticed the healed scars on Robins' nude form and the fact she was hairless in many areas. Robin was a little shy, especially when she saw how big Amon was.
"Robin you look heavenly." He said as he stepped out of his pants and kissed her. Robin put her arms around his neck and pushed her body up against his. His arms encircled her waist and tighten his hold on her. Amon laid Robin gently down on the bed and got on top of her. He got in between Robin's legs and looked at her.
"Robin, you're completely sure?" he asked one more time.
"Yes Amon."
"Robin, this is gonna hurt a little, but I promise I will be gentle." Amon said as he got himself ready to enter her opening.
"I trust you Amon." She said. Amon kissed Robin lips and in an instant he pushed himself fully inside of her. Robin had tears going down her cheeks as she felt the pain of her innocence being lost. Amon was still within her, he planted butterfly kisses all over her eyelids, cheeks, and lips. After a few minutes she got used to the feeling of him being inside of her. It started to feel good for her as she started to move a little. Amon felt her move and wrapped his arms around her back and he started ever so slowly to move in and out her. Robin started to move with him, they started to begin a slow rhythm. Amon wanted to go faster, but took his time for Robin's sake.
"Amon, faster." She said in his ear.
Amon started to faster and Robin kept up with him. They began going faster and faster, Robin couldn't believe how good it felt. Soon the two were near their peak. Robin was moaning constantly, however she tried to keep it quiet. Amon also had the occasional moan, he felt himself get ready. He kissed Robin again; their rhythm was increasing faster now. Robin's nails dug into Amon's shoulders, she was moaning and now Amon was moaning constantly too. Then they felt it come, Robin screamed into Amon's shoulder as she came, and Amon quietly moaned Robin's name as he came. Robin's finger nails dug deeper into Amon's shoulders as she felt pure bliss. Amon couldn't believe what he was feeling, he was in complete bliss.
"I love you Robin." he said.
"I love you too, Amon. Do you want to do it again?" She asked, kissing Amon on the lips. He looked down at her and smiled at her. They did it again; in fact they did it till three hours before dawn. The two fell asleep in each others' arms. For once, Amon didn't have a nightmare and Robin felt safe.
Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for all the reviews.
