The forest was dark and unseasonably warm, but I pressed forward. My red cloak danced in the breeze and the stars came out to play. In minutes, I found an abandoned stone cabin with a sword by the door. Hesitantly, I opened the wood door and walked inside.

It was a modest place but dark in many ways. I slipped my cloak off and waited for an answer. Deker was supposed to have been here before me. I closed my eyes in frustration, but felt a gust of wind pass me by. When I opened my eyes, the stone cabin was transformed into the most beautiful room that was fit for a queen. The bed was covered in gold silk, candles lit the room, and the atmosphere became warm and cozy. "You were obedient," said a voice behind me. I turned quickly and saw Deker smirking. His white robe was gone, and all the clothed him was a black shirt and pants; his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest. Too terrified to say anything, I let Deker walk around me in a circle. He stopped behind me and pushed my curled hair aside. After breathing in my scent, his hand sailed down my chest while his other grabbed my neck gently. His lips were soft and kissed the nape of my neck. As his kisses deepend, he mumbled, "Don't be afraid. I know what I'm doing." And with one quick movement, he striped me of my dress and layed me down on the bed. But even I couldn't force myself to hide my feelings: Deker was amazing.

The next morning I felt arms wrapped around me. But instead of seeing Antonio, I saw Deker. As quietly as I could, I got up from the bed and tried not to scream. Deker was desirable, but only a lunatic would have agreed to what I did last night. And after all that had happen these past months, I was beginning to question my sanity. Quickly, I looked for the map. When I found it, Deker was right behind me when I turned around. Startled, I dropped the map. Without a word, he picked it up and handed it to me. "I'm not one for peace, but stop this madness once and for all." After looking into his eyes, I cupped his face and kissed him gently. He moaned but kissed me back. "Thank you Deker," I mumbled. With another gust of wind, Deker and the amazing set up scenery, we're gone.
