Chapter Seven: To Share A Dance, and To Live On
Vayne: I know this is rushed, but I need to finish this story so I can start work on other stuff. My apologies.
Vayne slept silently, oblivious to the smell of open flames. He finally awoke when he heard a small explosion, his long sword appearing in his hand. That came from the kitchen, or at least in that direction. Another explosion, slightly smaller. Vayne crept down the hallway, peeked his head around the kitchen corner, and another explosion covered his face in black dust. He coughed, and the source turned to look at him, quite embarrassed.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"
"Aisha." Vayne put away his long sword, trying to remain calm, "What, are you doing?"
"Um...cooking breakfast." She mumbled, and Vayne sighed.
"Can you please not try to make cooking breakfast sound like an attack from a premature Wayward Demon? Seriously dear, you gave me a heart attack."
"Vayne I'm so sorry!" Aisha knew she was bad, but not that bad. She felt even worse learning that the sound reminded him of those horrid creatures.
"It's alright." Vayne looked at her, her clothes caked in soot. He chuckled, "How about you get dusted off, and I'll start breakfast?" She frowned.
"I'm a horrible partner. Can't even make breakfast." Vayne held her tightly.
"Aisha, all I ask of you is to be happy. Can you just do that for me?" Aisha smiled, and they kissed briefly before Aisha went down the hall to clean herself up.
"I'm so stupid." She grumbled as she wiped her soot stained face in the sink, "Can't even use magic to make food, and I call myself a master." She sighed, "Still, at least we have similar needs." She smiled, remembering how hot she was feeling, "I hope he's up to it again tonight."
"Aisha! Done!" She heard Vayne call from the living room, and trotted out to sit down next to him. She saw his bag next to him.
"Have something planned for today?" He nodded.
"I want to go back to Izrameer. There was something there I wanted to show you, and only you."
"Are you sure?" Aisha knew that it was hard for Vayne to be in that place.
"Yes, don't worry about me." They quickly finished eating. Vayne stood up and slung his pack over his shoulder. "Shall we go?"
Izrameer was still breathtaking for Aisha, more so as Vayne escorted her through the royal palace. Aisha was somewhat worried, concerned that she shouldn't be here. She told Vayne, but he said it didn't matter. After all, everyone here was dead. She thought about Bogi, and Vayne laughed.
"Bogi wouldn't care. In fact, he'd approve of my bringing you here." Vayne placed his hands on two massive doors, and forced them open slowly. Inside, was a giant dancing hall. The floor was of ice, molded into amazing figures beneath the floor. It was as if the floor itself was dancing. Vayne handed Aisha his bag, opened it, and walked off behind a pillar.
"Vayne?" No answer. Aisha looked inside, and was shocked at what she withdrew. An elegant white gown, with elven designs made of silver and gold. A large purple El shard was embedded into the chest area. The dress was actually quite simple. Aisha had a feeling as to where this was going, and adorned the gown. At that moment, Vayne returned wearing a similarly decorated white tux. He held out his hand.
"May I have a dance?" Aisha blushed, embarrassed, yet took his hand. He spun her towards him, grasping her other hand as her back pressed against his chest. He spun her again, placing his hand on her waist. Aisha, while not a skilled dancer she still knew how to dance, placed her hand on his shoulder. Vayne snapped his fingers, and music began to play. The harmonious tune filled the halls, and the floor suddenly sprung to life. The figures beneath the floor partnered up, just like they had, and began to dance. As Vayne began to move, Aisha focused on what the dancers beneath them were doing, as she realized Vayne was mimicking their movements. They moved faster than them, showing the pair what to do. With ease, they flew through the movements, spinning and swaying to the gentle sounds of the harp. Vayne smiled, "Do you know what this dance is for?"
"No." Aisha glanced around as the music stopped, confused, and was shocked as Vayne held her hand, and went onto his knee. Oh god. Oh my god.
"Aisha. I know it's early, but I must know." Vayne opened his hand, revealing a simple gold band. Aisha gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as he asked, "Aisha, will you marry me?" She clasped his hands.
"Yes...oh Vayne, yes." Vayne slid the ring onto her finger, held her tightly, and kissed her.
"Thank you."
"No, thank you Vayne." She kissed him, "You kept me waiting."
"I'm sorry."
"I'll forgive you, after you make up for it tonight." He sighed.
"You're so randy. I'm scared to see what you'll be like as an elf." She giggled.
"I hope you can be well rested with lack of sleep baby." They laughed, "Sorry I wasn't a good dancer."
"Oh shut up Aisha. You were fine." Vayne closed his eyes then, "Aisha, would you want to do it now?"
"You mean-" Vayen nodded.
"It has to be done here anyway."
"But the others-"
"Can be told when we all gather up for Christmas. Your answer?"
"Vayne, let's do it."
"Then follow me."
Aisha was beginning to have second thoughts as Vayne led her through the lower area of the palace, the bright colors fast replaced with darkness. They stepped into a large room, where a stone table was in the center, beneath two giant crystal spikes.
"Lie down."
"Vayne, will those..." Aisha stared at the crystalline spears.
"They won't pierce your body, but your soul. This is why the process is so painful. I have to rewrite your soul to become the soul of an elf." Vayne held her tightly, "You don't need to do this." Aisha responded by laying down on the table. Vayne placed his hand on her head, and she passed out, "Now, time to begin."
Aisha felt like her body was on fire, as if she was thrown into a furnace. She wanted to scream, but her throat was tight, and she didn't want to have Vayne see her in pain. She woke suddenly, and saw she was back in the cabin, and under the bed. She saw her bare arms, and noticed she was naked. She also noticed something different as she looked down. She was confused, but overjoyed, because her chest now was home to a decent sized pair of breasts. The process must have changed my body too. Awesome! She looked around, and frowned as Vayne wasn't in the room. She slid out of bed, and saw her clothes on the chair next to a small desk. She put them on, surprised they still fit. She walked into the living room, and sighed as she saw Vayne on the couch.
"Hey." He looked at her.
"Hey." He got up, and held her tightly. He cupped her face, and kissed her gently, "I didn't think you could be more beautiful than you already were." She blushed.
"Thank you. Vayne, I'm really tired." He nodded.
"The change takes a lot out of you. Let's get to bed." Vayne and Aisha retired to the bedroom. They changed out of their clothes, wrapped themselves up in the sheets, held each other tightly, and fell asleep.
The next day
Rena sat by the window in the cold, early morning air. Elsword slept soundly on the bed next to her, snoring softly. She smiled, taking another peek at his sleeping face. Elsword always looked to grown up, his face hard and serious when he meant business. But when asleep, he softened, almost looking like a child. She sighed, and turned to see the morning sun begin to rise. Tomorrow, we ask everyone if they'll undergo the change. She looked back at Elsword, who rolled over, beginning to wake up. Please Elsword, do this for me.
"Urgh..." Elsword groaned, stretching as he slowly woke up. He sat up rubbing his eyes, and smiled at Rena, "Morning my love." He chuckled softly as Rena blushed.
"Morning dear." They went into the living room, and sat down on the sofa.
"What should we do today?" Elsword ran through the local activities in his head.
"Maybe we could go skiing?"
"If you want to." Elsword glanced out the window, and stared at the forest. Is that? No, it can't be.
"Elsword?"
"I could have swore I saw that Bogi guy." Rena looked out the window then as well, and shook her head.
"I don't see anything."
"Probably just my imagination." Elsword got up, "Shall we head out?"
"Sure." They locked up the cabin, and headed down the trail to the ski slope.
Rena and Elsword skied for a while, the giant slope proving no challenge for the pair. They quickly got bored, and just went for a walk in the forest. Rena felt at home, the forest creatures going about their lives, ignoring their presence.
"Isn't it lovely Elsword?" Rena sighed, holding his arm tightly.
"Yeah, as long as you're here with me." She blushed, and he kissed her cheek. Oh god, the suspense is killing me. I need to know!
They wandered into a large clearing, a waterfall joined with a giant lake. On the far bank, they could see a bear catching fish. They sat down by the water's edge, and Elsword lay down on the floor, sighing. Rena stared at him, mustering the courage to ask him her question.
"Elsword?"
"Hmm?"
"I...have something...important to ask you." Elsword sat up.
"Yes?"
"I...um..." Oh god, how do I say it? "Elsword, this is the most selfish thing I could possibly ask of you."
"Rena, what is it?"
"I want you...to become an elf."
"What?" Elsword felt like laughing, as this was the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard, but Rena's expression stopped him short.
"Please. Vayne can transform humans into elves, but the process is so painful. Please, I don't want to lose you." Rena began to cry, feeling that Elsword was going to reject her.
"I...Rena...I need to think it over." He concluded, and Rena continued to weep, assuming it was his way of saying no until he said it directly. Suddenly, they felt someone behind them.
"You utter moron." Elsword turned and got to his feet, and saw Bogi staring at him.
"Bo-" Elsword was cut off as Bogi smacked his cane against his head. He grasped his head in pain, "Ow!" Another smack, "Ow!" Another smack. This time, Elsword kept the yell at bay, and Bogi didn't hit him.
"Young lady." Bogi addressed Rena kindly, "Might I ask you to wait by the tree line? I have something to talk about with this young man, no, young idiot."Elsword began to speak, but shut up as Bogi raised his cane.
"O-O-Okay." Rena hoped Bogi wouldn't hurt Elsword, and walked off to the trees.
"Fool. 'I need to think it over'? What is there to think about you idiot?"
"Hey!" Another smack.
"Shut up. Do you really have a brain in that thick head of yours? You spend so many nights, having nightmares of the pain you'll cause Rena when you die of age, and you say you need to think it over when she offers you the solution? Idiot." Bogi sighed, "I must apologize for hitting you, but such stupidity I cannot allow."
"Okay." Elsword cringed as he spoke, expecting another hit, but Bogi just laughed.
"You remind me of my old, idiot apprentice. Exactly the same." Bogi placed a wrinkled hand on Elsword's shoulder, "Go. Make her happy." With that, he disappeared. Rena ran up to him.
"Rena." Elsword instantly took her into his arms. He felt tears roll down his cheeks, "I'm sorry." Rena began to cry again, sensing an imminent rejection, "Of course I'll do it. I want nothing more than to be with you."
"Oh Elsword...thank you." Elsword patted her back.
"Come on, let's get back. Aisha will be getting us up early for Christmas anyway." Rena gasped as Elsword scooped her up in his arms, "And I want to do something to make up for my making you scared tonight."
"Elsword?" Rena sighed as Elsword pressed their chests tightly together, hinting his desire, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Let's get ready."
The sun set, and the passion rose. The bedroom dimly lit with candles, Rena sat on Elsword's lap, sliding her hands underneath his shirt and feeling his chest as they kissed. They sucked on each other's tongues, relishing in the taste of their soft flesh. Elsword picked her up, and laid her down on the bed. He kissed her again, then moved down to her neck. As he kissed her throat, he slowly undid Rena's shirt, her large breasts bouncing slightly as he chucked her shirt to the floor. They moved on in silence, both having exhausted their words on the walk back. Elsword gently fondled her left breast, as he sucked on the other, licking her nipple inside his mouth. Rena moaned loudly, and traced the outline of his spine, dragging her fingers down his bare back. Rena rolled him over, and stood up in front of the bed. She slowly eased out of her pants, bending over to show her wet pussy. She flicked her pants to the side, and quickly removed Elsword's pants. Without pause, she wedged his dick between her breasts, licking his tip a few times before sucking it into her mouth. Rena moaned as she bounced up and down, and Elsword groaned as she vigorously licked his dick in her mouth.
"Mmm...you're fucking delicious Elsword."' She growled. Elsword never knew Rena could be like this, so aggressive.
"Ah..." Elsword groaned as Rena suddenly plunged his dick down her throat, already sinking all the way inside to the base. She gagged, but didn't come up. She sucked, licked, and swallowed as she moved her head up and down, faster and faster. She slid her hand down to her wet pussy, sliding two fingers deep inside and rubbing her hot spot. She pulled his dick from her mouth.
"Fuck my throat Elsword. Cum in my mouth." She moaned, still fingering herself. Elsword grabbed the back of her head, and shoved his dick back into her throat. He felt strange, and knew he was close to the end. He forced her all the way down, cuming into her mouth, "Mmmph! Mmm..." She moaned, sliding her fingers out of her cunt. She slowly rose, and swallowed loudly. She then pushed Elsword onto his back, and sat down on his legs, his thick member rubbing against her wet pussy, "My turn."
"Rena..." Elsword complained, already feeling tired.
"I'm not done with you yet." Rena sat up, and positioned his dick directly underneath her cunt. She braced herself, and quickly sunk down to the bottom, their thighs slamming together, "Ah!" Rena sat motionless for a moment, overcome by the pleasure from Elsword's cock deep inside her vagina. Then, she slowly moved up and down, bending forward and kissing Elsword passionately as her ass rose and fell. She squeezed her cunt, applying pressure to Elsword's dick.
"Ah...it's sore." He whined, but Rena silenced him by burying his face between her breasts. Rena's sexual urges had taken over. She wanted him, and she was going to have him one way or another. Rena bounced up and down as fast as she could, groping her breasts. As Elsword groaned in protest, Rena moaned in ecstasy.
"Yes! Oh god...fuck!"
"Rena! I'm..."
"Do it! Give me it all!" Rena sank down all the way, feeling his tip brush against her cervix, and grinded from side to side. Suddenly, Rena moaned loudly as she felt his warm juices flood her cunt, leaking out, "Ah...oh...oh my..." As Elsword's flow subsided, Rena fell forward, asleep before she fell on top of Elsword. He to, soon feel prey to exhaustion, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Everyone met at Vayne's cabin for their Christmas celebration. They quickly handed each other their gifts, and Rena and Alirah prepared dinner. Everyone sat patiently, eager for the feast. Chung glanced at Aisha.
"Hey Aisha, why are you wearing your cowl?"
"Oh! Um...nothing." She looked at Vayne, who whispered something in her ear.
"Okay?" Chung didn't want to press anything, and Eve distracted him as she cuddled with him, holding his arm tightly. Rena and Alirah brought out the food, and no sooner had it arrived, had everyone devoured the food. Everyone sighed, content and full. Alirah sat down next to Raven, kissing his cheek before looking at Vayne.
"Vayne, you said you had another gift for us?" After Eve tried to force Alirah into a dress she had bought last minute, and freaked out at Raven once she saw the scars on her back, Vayne said he had a special gift for everyone, but it would wait until after dinner. Vayne sighed.
"Okay, this is something that has been on my mind, as well as Rena's, for many years. It's something that is entirely up to you to accept." As Vayne continued, Aisha removed her cowl, and everyone gasped as they saw her sharp, pointed ears, "If you wish it, I can change you into an elf."
"Vayne, how is this possible?" Chung asked, breathless.
"An ancient technique." Eve eyed Aisha.
"Is this the actual reason you have breasts?"
"Yeah, sorry for lying." When everyone question Aisha as to why she now had a set of pronounced breasts, she made the excuse that it was a spell she was trying out.
"The process is very painful. Your answers?" Everyone muttered amongst each other, lover speaking to lover.
"We'll do it." Raven said, wrapping his arm around Alirah.
"I'll do it." Chung nodded.
"Same." Elsword smiled at Rena. Vayne stood up.
"Alright, to Izrameer." Everyone got up, and followed Vayne back to the frozen city. One by one, Vayne changed his friends into elves, prolonging their lives significantly. The gang of friends would not be parted, and lived the rest of their lives in their home in content, happiness, and passion.
Vayne: Well that's it. Not my best work, and I don't think I'll be able to top my current best anyway. Well, time to work on the next story. Later!
