The sun shone brightly and it heated my skin intensely. A little breeze skimmed across the golden sands taking the edge off the heat. The azure ocean lapped up against the paradisiac shoreline. Little smiling children splashed around in the beautiful sunset. Tanned arms appear around my waist and Damien's chin rests on my shoulder. I turn around to face him and caress my soft lips up against his.

"Wake up honey". I open my dreary eyes to see Damien hovering over me smiling. Sadness reaches over me as I realise that I wasn't on a tropical beach at sunset…it was just a dream. Damien cups my cheek in his hand and leans forward to kiss me. I embrace his topless body and roll over so I am laying on top of him. We kiss passionately; his thumb soon hooks the top of my boxers as he lowers them to my ankles….

"It is vital that you remember that the semi colon is a respectable piece of punctuation so whenever possible use…" The High Priestess has accepted me into her school so now I have to attend lessons. Unfortunately I do not share the same enthusiasm for education as my boyfriend.
"Beeeeepp beeeeeepp beeeeeepp beeeeeeepp"
"Class dismissed" I quickly cram all my books into my bag and sprint out the class room to the dining room to meet my friends.

"Hey Aurox! Was your English Lit class as boring as mine was?" Stevie Rae has accepted me with open arms and she was always the first to greet me.
"When is Lit not boring Stevie Rae that is the question". She smiled and patted the space next to her in booth as I placed down my casserole and rice on the table. I slid in so I was sitting next to her as the twins began to rave about January shoe sales.

After a few minutes Damien appeared next to me on the bench as he leant forward and whispered into my ear
"Honey I want to take you somewhere I like to go. Follow mw please" He lightly kissed me on the cheek before he stood up and walked out the dining hall. I skidded across the bench and stood up whilst grabbing my empty tray and walking to the exit.

A little dusting of snow still covered the ground as it as late January, it had been one of the whitest winters ever. I caught site of Damien by the frozen fountain and broke into a jog towards him. He embraced me with open arms and a gentle kiss. I took his hand in mine as he led me away from the chaos of the school. He questioned me about how school life was treating me and about whether I was interested in a shopping trip with him and the twins.

Damien's pace slowed as we approached a large stable.
"I like to come here for privacy and when I want to think. Since our little disappearing act about a year ago I have a new love for horse. I now appreciate their soothing presence and calming effect." He led me inside the stable which glowed warmly with the orange light of gas lamps. I had never been here before and I believe I will be making frequent visits from now on
"It really is pleasant here. The smell of hay bales and sound of horses munching away at it just transports me to a haven". I sit on a hay bale as Damien strolls towards me.

"Honey you have brought light to my dark life and you simplify me when things become complicated. I value your love so much. Aurox will you accept my Warrior Oath?" I ran towards him with tears rolling down my face and leapt at him hugging him madly. I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss his beautiful face again and again between kisses I mummer yes god yes.

We are now bound together for eternity in the eyes of our great Goddess, Nyx.
