Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Two

Axia landed in her watery garden and fell to the ground sobbing. Feeling the cold air, she unbound her hair and held herself as she cried. When Kiniro had touched her, her first reaction was a shot of heat, and then shame for feeling something towards another man. Loving the same man for 190 years, she couldn't imagine being with anyone else, yet, she suspected that this Kiniro man, might make her forget, and she didn't want that. Knowing that the water was always very cold at night, and still burning from his touch, she undressed herself and entered the water. Surprisingly, the water was not as cold as she thought, as she swam deeper in.

Lachlan and Kiniro then appeared in Axia's kitchen. Lachlan then closed his eyes, and found where Axia had gotten to. He then sensed her nakedness and the reason for it and smiled. "Kiniro, Axia is in the back, just follow the path and you will find her" Lachlan said as he opened her icebox and began searching for food.

"Does she allow you to do that? Isn't that rude to be opening up other peoples belonging?" Kiniro said setting down his lute on her settee.

"Regardless of the fact that she is my responsibility, I married her sister over 150 years ago. So that makes her my sister in law. Besides, she doesn't mind. I told you that when you get to know her, you can do nearly anything to her, and she will forgive you. Such as raiding her food." he said as he found her stash of strawberries.

"What do you mean 'your responsibility?' " Kiniro asked eating a few of the strawberries and looking at Lachlan's scowl.

"Tell you later...go find her" he said as he snatched the strawberries away and took off upstairs.

'What a strange man, 150 years, he has to be joking! He only looks 20 years old!' Kiniro thought as he found the path through the roses. He then heard the waterfall and then saw Axia. She was standing over the waterfall, allowing the cool water to fall over her naked body. The cloak had hidden her body, so he never got a clear view of her body, but seeing it in all its glory, he wordlessly removed his clothing as well and entered the water.

Axia didn't hear the presence of Kiniro, or his entry into the water, but she felt him as came up behind her and kissed her neck. She almost screamed aloud in shock, until he turned her to face him and deeply kissed her. Slowly he moved his hands from her shoulders down her smooth back to her taunt ass. He then moved his hands to her front and moved his hands up to her breasts. He touched them slowly, lightly applying pressure, but did not feel her response. She was standing completely still and rigid. He then stopped kissing her, and looked at her. He then realized that he had acted in error, as she was livid.

"You done pawing me? I am sure there are a few places that you missed in your invasion. Touch me again without my permission and I will let Lachlan have at you. He is very protective of me." Axia said, extending her wings and flying to the other side of the lake to gather her clothes. She then flew to the entrance to her home and entered. "Lachlan where are you! Get down here you coward!" she screamed at him

He then appeared in front of her with the remaining strawberries in hand "Aww, lighten up, that was romantic. You like romance. Why did you not give in, I know you wanted to. That's why you took that dip, you're burning for him. Give in Axia. It will make you feel better" he said sauntering over to her couch and lying down on it.

"Can you not ever stop that. Stop poking in my head, and stop manipulating me. Can I not choose my own lovers?" she said as she sat down

"Axia, I'm tired. I will very very soon have to revert. I want you to be happy while I slumber. I owe Saphia that much. I know you are so very lonely, and I remember feeling the passion that all you girls exhibit in bed. You deserve that. 5000 years is a long time without passion." he said and then turned his head and closed his eyes. "Kiniro is coming back. Talk to him, get to know him. I already approve of him, or else I would not have introduced him to you. He really is very much like your Aldo, if you got to know him. Axia I am not kidding, maybe a few more days, that's about it. Then I will have to revert and you will have to take me back to Juno." he said closing his eyes.

Kiniro at that point entered the home and watched Lachlan disappear from sight. "What are you people?" he said

"I suppose I should start explaining things then. I am the Chosen of the Hope of the Valkyries. The Hope lives within me, and through me, the world is free of the pain of evil. As such, I was granted immortality. Today is my 200th birthday. 170 years ago, my sisters and I began a journey that lead to the pieces of the Valkyrie. I was chosen to wield Axis, the mystical whip. Lachlan was chosen for my twin sister, Mistress. The third was the Axe of the Ages named Aila, which was wielded, jointly by my younger sister Tatiana and her husband to be, Isagani. When it came time to create the Hope my sister Callista gave up her life to form it, and in doing so, the pieces took human form. Aila and Axis after the birth of my children with my husband Aldo, reverted back to whip and axe, but Lachlan had fallen in love with my youngest sister Saphia. They had four children together, but her last child killed her, and Lachlan has been alone since then. My twin died herself from grief over the loss of her own husband about 20 years after our adventures. Then my Aldo was involved in a training accident. An overzealotous minstrel got too cocky with using Arrow Vulcan and misfired, and sent the shot into my Aldo. It severed his spinal cord at his neck and he lost all ability to move. That was when we moved here, so that I could care for him. He lived for another 30 years after that, but he was shattered. And he died in my arms at 100 years of age. The last of my family to die was my sister Tatiana and her husband. They both died in their sleep together about 70 years ago. Lachlan as he can not be harmed has been watching our family as I can not venture out into the world as I want to. Because of the church's teachings now, I would be considered a heretic, and would be burned at the stake. I, unfortunately have to ride out history, as my end of journey will be in another 5000 years, when the cycle begins again with a new batch of chosen's. So that is about it. Any questions?" she said and got up to her kitchen
