PART 2
"Hey Mirage, we're almost there. Just set us down on the patch of land there," came from a blond Klausian that was sitting at the front.
From behind him was an echo of a young woman, "Roger…. Setting us down…. here. Duggus Forest." There was rumbling of the ship they had flown in stop. "Cliff we're here," said Mirage.
"Wah?" He stood up and stretched, his large muscles flexing to their full content. He exited the ship, jumping down onto the soft ground. He started to sink into the ground and gave a yell.
Mirage came to follow him and saw him sinking in the mud quickly.
He yelled, "MIRAGE YOU SET US IN A SWAMP!"
She gave a soft apology but he continued to yell at her, "ARE YOU GONNA GET ME OUT OR WHAT!"
She jumped down onto the other side of the ship where the ground was hard. "You should have looked before you jumped down. I don't have a rope!"
Just as she said this a little boy swung down with his helmet flying off his head revealing low ears crying, "COMING THROUGH!"
Cliff reached his hand out to the boy and was able to grip his ankle but it pulled him down too.
The little Menodix gave out a rough cry, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR… Cliff? …. Mirage?"
Cliff put his other hand to his head, giving out an annoying sigh, "Yes, Roger, it's us and now we're both stuck."
"Not quite." Mirage had her hands on the rope Roger had swung on and she threw it out to them.
Roger grabbed hold of Cliff and Cliff held on to the rope.
Mirage gave one heave and both of them were out.
Roger looked up at Mirage's large frame, "You're strong. Thanks but I could have gotten out myself and a pretty lady like you."
She laughed and placed his helmet back on his head.
Cliff was dusting himself off, grunting softly. He started to walk away, toward the meeting place that they were supposed to be head for.
She started to follow leaving Roger by himself but of course Roger made the excuse, "You all need MY protection," just to follow them to the Kirlsa Hills.
-Just off the Transfer Ship-
Maria had her arm around Fayt's coming up behind.
Sophia couldn't help but sometimes glance back at them because they seemed so suddenly close. She felt as if she couldn't speak to Fayt anymore because it just wasn't possible for her as long as Maria was around.
Peppita was leading out in front, spinning and dancing. Her bangles jingled and her sashes made her a very noticeable person.
Sophia only occasionally laughed when she saw Peppita fall because she was spinning to fast.
Just because Peppita was dancing and having fun, it didn't mean she didn't see anything. She saw everything. She saw Sophia's longing glance behind her and Maria's flicker in her eyes that seemed to be very different and Fayt's thick mindedness.
She noticed the change in Maria that was only very slight being the way she was. She saw that she was suddenly clinging to Fayt as Sophia once did but Sophia walked alone with her eyes locked on the scenery around her including Fayt and Maria. She made a mental note to bring this up with Fayt when she had a chance.
Sophia had her hands clasped together tightly in front of her with a smile on her face that was only habit. She felt the smile on her face to be her sanctuary that she could put up to be alone so that everyone would think she was normal but something felt broken inside. She felt as Aire Hills suited her mood right now, dull and nothingness. At one point she turned into the little inlet where the transport to Gemity once stood. There in her glance it was once again. They stopped at the rendezvous point then the entire group would head to Aquaria from there.
Nel exited the mansion, not bothering to tell Adray of the meeting for he seemed too wrapped up in the planning of Clair's wedding. As she was leaving Arias, in the corner of her eye she saw Albel just entering the town so she quickened in the pace. As she saw him, memories of what had happened long ago rose up in her mind.
Just after the defeat of Luther, Nel was smiling, actually smiling and so was the man who stood at the edge, waiting to greet her but made no motion for his intention. For him it was more like a smirk but it was as close to a smile as was possible. She walked up to him, wrapping her arms around him.
He looked down at her with disdain as this was in public. He did nothing but to make her continue. He coughed and she stopped, looking around for she realized what she had done. He started to walk away from her, signaling her to follow.
She did so with as much dignity as possible considering her actions, which caused others to stare at the Captain of Aquaria's Secret Legion, Crimson Blade, Nel Zelpher and the merciless Captain of the Black Brigade also known as Albel the Wicked…together. All thought they were to be bitter rivals but none of the sort.
She walked with him to a secluded spot where he took her, giving her no mercy as he did his enemies. He whispered in her ear, "Vermin, they all are but I am sorry, I have a reputation."
She nodded, "I remember, I have one as well. I almost regret my actions."
He brushed as piece of her magenta hair away from her face, "Don't, of all the scum I've ever fought, you are the only one I will fall pray to."
She smiled, playing with a small piece of his blonde hair between her thumb and forefinger.
He drew her into a deep kiss, running his clawed hand around her middle cupping her breast in his hand.
She moaned into his mouth as her arms went around his neck, pulling him closer and parting her lips allowing his tongue entrance into her mouth.
He took this opportunity to fill her mouth with his own lust that was greeted with haste from the exact same feeling that came from her.
She started to fall, that falling feeling of completely control that only he could do to her.
He held her to him but they were soon pressed against a tree against her back.
Her leg lifted and wrapped itself around his waist, while she stood on the other. She felt his strong presence pressing down around her and she loved it. She was running on adrenalin and her heart rate was through the roof as her mouth was being graced by the presence of his tongue. She felt something press against her leg, hard and she already knew what it was. She felt completely ready and wanted this more then anything but Albel was already way ahead of her.
He started to unbuckle the corset-belt like object and it fell to the ground. The armored bracers around her wrists had been on the ground for sometime, she didn't remember taking them off.
Before she knew it, she was on the ground with a naked Albel on top of her. He was roughly thrusting in and out of her and she screaming and moaning out his name. Her back was arched and she felt the climax building up quickly inside of her. His pace quickened, as did his roughness. The ecstasy and the pain mixed would have made her scream, shrilly in the air if not Albel had come up to her face, planting a rough kiss on her mouth, as the noise was muffled out.
She wanted more and her thoughts had forgotten everything but the look of his body and how much she wanted it right then, giving into her sin.
He paused for a moment as she forced him to switch places for her to be on top.
She seductively crawled further on top of him, leaving traces of her tongue over every curve of his muscle on his body. She felt him still inside of her as he rode him, like nothing else.
He made soft sounds to what she was doing and she wanted more but couldn't think of anymore but her body could think of just one more thing.
She put herself on all fours as they finished up, with scream from her piercing the air when she finally climaxed, with her desire fulfilled. She felt his seed inside of her and her cum made the ground very moist. They laid there tired, relaxed.
I was satisfied especially when I got the news that I was to be having his child but…
She went to tell Albel the news but she was too afraid to tell him. This went on for about four and a half months and still she showed no signs of pregnancy, as she should have by now and blood flowed out of her body monthly. She knew very well what happened, the child died while it was inside of her. She went to finally tell him but his response was one she did not want to hear.
"Good, I do not need little worms. It died, it showed weakness, it was no child of mine, it was merely a maggot of yours conceived in your belly alone."
She felt offended by this but there was a floating thought in the back of her mind that haunted her constantly. "What if it wasn't his child…"
She didn't dare tell him that there had been someone else, a certain blond Klausian just before he left…She would never know now but this was not the time to think of such things.
She yelled at Albel but accidentally spilled a piece of information that she was not suppose to, "HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT! IT WAS JUST A CHILD!"
Coolly her merely said, "The child was weak."
"You're right, it was probably NOT your child! It was probably Cliff's!"
Albel turned to her with his eyes slightly widened, "That weak hearted fool all for compassion with no mind at all to see that true power is the key."
This was their final argument and their destinies were set, apart, hopefully forever. Those words were ones I was not proud of but I don't regret them.
She had come out of her memory and looked up to see a very chummy Fayt and Maria. This surprised her for she always thought Fayt and Sophia would be the ones together.
Sophia stood apart, with a smile brightly lit upon her face but her eyes were lost, deep in thought.
Peppita was first to greet her, "NEL! Where's Albel, shouldn't be with you? And what about Adray? What about Roger? Have you see Mirage? If you have you Cliff is probably there too!"
Fayt looked up at Peppita's happy cries, "So Nel, where IS Albel?" She gave a huff, saying, "Albel Nox is on his way. I have not seen Mirage, Cliff, or Roger and Adray is quite busy with certain preparations of marriage that are too be coming up."
Maria gazed longingly up at Fayt and Fayt seemed mesmerized, and Nel assumed they were in love for they way they acted and how there seemed to be something faint in the back of their eyes.
"Maggots move. Out of my way," was spoken from Albel.
He made his way through the small town that had a few homes that were almost finished rebuilding. Nothing clouded his mind but what was to come, being trapped with those fools as he would have called them.
He gripped his Katana tightly and there were very few things that tugged at his mind, Fayt and Sophia as well as Nel and Cliff. He too glazed over the memories of himself and Nel.
He murmured under his breath, "Stupid fool, thinking the child may have even been mine. Cliff is weak, she is right it is probably his. I'll make her pay for making a fool out of me…of all people, me, Albel the Wicked, now Captain of both the Black Brigade and Dragon Brigade."
He was swift about making it to the Aire Hills. By the time he reached, there was a sudden jolt of negative energy between the gazes of himself and Nel Zelpher, his former lover that he couldn't help but notice her long legs from what she wore but still hatred clouded his mind. Their unbroken stair was interrupted by the arrival of Cliff, Mirage, and Roger.
Cliff's obnoxious voice first broke the air, "Hey guys."
Nel immediately walked to Cliff, staying extremely close to him.
While the others made their greetings, it gave him time to scan the group. He found it quite odd that the hand of Fayt was entwined with Maria's and not of the girl he thought he was originally courting.
Peppita in his opinion had not changed at all, a loud and energized worm. He remembered with distaste of how Peppita constantly followed him around. He thought if he truly had a younger sister, this might have been how she would have acted which made him happy he did not have one.
Two seemed to be missing, the young girl of Fayt's and the old man. He knew of the other marriage joining someone of Aquaria and Airyglyph and knew that he fathered the bride.
He found her, she stood there in the back, smiling seemingly happy but there was glint of deception in her eyes. He knew all sins well and could tell which made him the perfect solider for dirty work. He made no movement but just watched her, no curious of her actions. He knew her well enough to know that her personality was not of this at all, actually caring about what seemed to be ailing her.
At once when her eyes came back into complete focus he saw her attention to be drawn to Fayt and Maria first quickly before they darted away, trying to make herself away of everyone who had appeared while her body was on hold and she was away.
Little did she know, someone was watching her.
