Before I begin I would like to mention that some people felt some things were incorrect. First about the character of Myrrh in the first chapter, upon replaying the game I believe that these people were correct and from now on I will attempt to capture her more correctly please tell me if from this point forward if you believe the character needs tweaking.
Second I live in Iran many of the people who might be reading are in western countries. Our cultures are astronomically different. Some people criticized the fact I wrote Myrrh using the term "Mrs." to L'Arachel, an unmarried princess to anyone who did not live in the middle east this would seem unnecessary and even ignorant of me to use this title for her but to clarify we have used the title Mr. Or Mrs. for royalty if we were not using their more polite title of Your Majesty for hundreds of years. Just the way we are and I hope to educate more if only you continue to read.
Now on to our story…
Myrrh was visibly shaking from head to toe, she couldn't move her arm for fear it would fall off, L'Arachel looked over her shoulder to see what or who was touching her. She saw Myrrh and began turning red very quickly.
"Myrrh what are you doing?"
"Oh…Uhh…well...I…there was a…."
"A what Myrrh?"
"A…uhhh…a….you…know."
"No I don't know."
"A…bug…I was…just…getting it…off for you….I gotta go!"
And with that she ran off, L'Arachel stood there, completely nonplused. What had just happened did not disturb her as much as how she felt when Myrrh touched her. She knew there wasn't any bug on her, she also knew she couldn't love another woman publicly (politics those days wouldn't allow it.) she also couldn't in good conscience just leave Myrrh like this, especially because L'Arachel didn't know if she felt the same way or not. She decided to ask the advice of Dozla; she hoped he would know what to do. Sh found him attempting to ride a wyvern that Cormag had lent him (inside joke based of another Dozla support conversation) he was thrown from the creature's saddle, for the third time according to him. He finally gave up and came over to L'Arachel.
"What seems to be the trouble milady?'
"Well I can't stop thinking about what happened just now."
" What happened just now?"
"Myrrh just touched my shoulder."
"Oh no!"
"What's wrong Dozla?"
"I think I started this whole thing! I told her she was in love with you!"
"You did?"
"Yes! And now she's gone and tried to get you to fall in love with her!"
Dozla was wailing at this point he was so hysterical. L'Arachel tried to calm him down.
"Don't cry Dozla I think I feel the same way."
"You think you feel the same as she does?"
"Yes I think I do."
"I'm pretty sure you don't."
"And I'm pretty sure I do."
"No I think Myrrh's skin would be scaly in some places, yours is pretty smooth."
"Oh for fu…"
She stormed off to find someone who would give her a semi intelligent conversation. She was looking around and then she saw Myrrh sitting by herself in a small tent. Tears were running down her face. L'Arachel felt a dropping feeling in her stomach. She decided to swallow her pride she got very nervous, and then she went inside the tent.
" Myrrh?"
"Oh…its you I'd better leave."
"No you don't have to, in fact I'd rather you stay, I think we should talk about this afternoon."
"Oh…really."
"Well I think we need to set something straight."
Myrrh all of a sudden threw her arms around L'Arachel. She was crying harder than before.
"I'm… sorry L'Arachel."
"What for?"
"I know you don't have any feelings towards me but I can't help myself!"
"Before you say anything I think you should hear me out."
"Okay…"
"Myrrh when you touched me, something happened and I think I feel the same way you do."
"You...love…yourself.'
"No, no I think I love you."
"…L'Arachel…. what do you mean you…think you do?"
" well we could try it and you know…maybe I do feel the same…and if I do we'll can stay together."
"…try…what"
" Falling in love."
"People…try that?"
"Not all the time but…"
At this point it seemed that the rest of the camp had fallen asleep. L'Arachel put Myrrh's hands in hers.
"Do you know what people do when they love each other Myrrh?"
"…"
"How about I show you?"
"Okay…"
L'Arachel sat down next to Myrrh. She looked at her; in the moonlight she looked almost divinely beautiful. L'Arachel leaned over and kissed Myrrh. She knew that this was not what she expected. L'Arachel opened her eyes and saw Myrrh was silently crying. L'Arachel drew back and saw that Myrrh was smiling as well, someone finally accepted her for who she was.
L'Arachel leaned back over, this time their lips touched. L'Arachel felt the dropping feeling in her stomach again. The kiss made both of them feel hot all over, and it told L'Arachel that they could stop giving this a try… she shared a feeling with Myrrh and this feeling was real.
