I was so stupid, why did I do that? Why was I about to kill myself with my own sword. I shivered, I couldn't trust myself anymore, I felt I was forced to end my life by someone different than me. I didn't want to do it, why would I? I was so scared, I pressed Aelana tighter against me. I needed her, or I would certainly lose my mind. I felt sorry for her as well for putting this weight on her shoulders. Maybe I should just end it, for her. I looked at her sleeping form in my wings.

"No, no, no," I whispered to no one. I clutched my head as my shivering became even worse.

It must have woken her up as the next moment she put a warm hand against my cheek. She didn't say a word as I looked into her glowing green eyes.

"Aelana," I put my arms around her and started sobbing again. It was a despicable how weak I was. I didn't deserve to live.

"Aelana, please save me!," I cried out to her.

"Shhh, my love, I am here," her loving voice soothed me.

"Don't leave me alone in the darkness Aelana, something wants me dead, I am so scared," I was still shivering.

"I won't ever leave you alone, you're my angel, and I love you with all my heart."

She kissed me again, and it warmed my soul. It was long and deep and I knew I needed more from the woman whom I loved. I needed her, desperately, and I didn't stop her this time when she moved her hands down to my chest. I finally stopped shivering when she pushed her body against mine. Through my fear I could feel my need for her growing with each passing second of her lips on mine. She handily undid the bra I started wearing at nights instead of my breastplate, so the cold metal would not discomfort the priestess.

She moved her hands all across my body, caressing my white skin, and only increased my need for her more. She licked around my breasts only to finish up taking one in her mouth while rubbing the peak of the other one with her hand and stroking my left ear with the other, from the base all the way to the tip. I tried holding up as long as I could, I wanted more. The movements of her tongue made it extremely difficult to do so, though.

I moved her head up to kiss her again, she now assaulted my breasts with both her hands. She rolled on top of me and started sucking on my earlobes, something I hadn't experienced before,but it felt amazing. I unclipped her bra as well and mimicked her movements, earning a soft moan from her, which only served to fuel my need for her even further. I moved my right hand down her lower regions and put two fingers inside her. She pressed harder against me as she kissed me again, starting to explore my insides as well.

She lay there on top of me, pleasuring me, we didn't once break that kiss. I was all hers, my Aelana, she would save my soul, I was sure of it. I could feel her love and light as I felt fure bliss when I finally gave in to her loving touch. She helped my fingers push her over the top as well, as I was still convulsing from the shock, before she finally broke the kiss.

"Thank you," was all I could say. I knew now that when the day came to face whatever was after me, she would save me.

"I love you Angel, don't forget that," she rolled to her side.

I rolled to face her and took her in a loving embrace.

"I will never forget that, my love."

I wrapped her in my wings again and she was soon fast asleep. Outside I could hear the guards change watch and an infected lynx roaring for the final time as it was killed near the village. Tomorrow would be the day for reinforcements to arrive from Light's Hope. I hoped the troops Sylvanas would send are on their way too, I feared we needed everyone we could get. I was certain I could handle a lot on my own, but I also knew how many of our race had fallen to the bloodthirsty trolls over the years. Zul'jin had at last been dealt with, but now many of their warriors had risen again to serve in undead if General Untarael was correct. I hoped with all my heart I wouldn't see any of our kind risen. I looked at Aelana's beautiful smile throughout the night and just knew that we would be alright.
