So...is the excitement killing you?
Are just on the edge of your seat waiting for Terra's reaction that you will skip this black commentary section?
Me too...
Let's keep rolling!
The magic water finally settled down. Surane was standing right there, infront of Terra. Looking exactly the way he always pictured her, beautiful and glad to see him. Then, he realized what was going on. The entire time, the wyvern he wanted to kill was her. He wanted to kill her! Guilt spread over his face quickly and he dropped his bow and arrow.
"Oh...my...god..." he whispered, ashamed of himself.
Surane got out of the water and stepped onto the shore. Terra immediately ran to her, not knowing what to say at first.
"Terra... you came for me..." she smiled at him.
"I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. Please forgive me." he apologized, pulling her in for an embrace.
The princess hugged him back. She cried into his chest and held him as close as possible. The curse and all of this was almost over. She and her friends will be free from the dark magic and go back to safety.
"Of course I forgive you, Terra." Surane said.
"I really am sorry. I feel so terrible for nearly killing you. All this time I was practicing to kill whatever took you and Iris."
That reminded all the girls immediately. Xemnas was on his way back! Surane pulled Terra back to the forest. Ven saw her coming and was surprised.
"Surane? Wow, that was easy! Where's Iris-" the blonde boy started.
"You both need to hide right now! He's coming!" Surane interrupted.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the forest.
"Surane!" Xemnas called.
Judging the sound, he was a bit far away but getting closer every second. Ven, now scared out of his wits, started packing up the stuff again. The other girls came over and helped him the best they could.
"Who's that?" Terra asked Surane.
"Xemnas, my father's old sorcerer. He has Iris, Aqua, Kairi and I under spells. We have to stay here until they are broken." Surane explained.
"Iris?" Ven perked up.
The red dusk came over to him and hugged his arm. The blonde flinched at the contact, but recognized the color of red was the same color as Iris's hair. He hugged her back.
"Oh, Iris, I missed you." he said tenderly.
Surane and Terra shoved them along to a hiding spot. The prince didn't join them though. Xemnas's footsteps were getting closer.
"Let him come! I'll kill him for doing this to you and the girls!" he stated.
"No! Please, just hide. I'll stall him and make him go away." Surane told him.
Disgruntled, Terra hid behind a few bushes by himself. The second he was fully hidden, Xemnas emerged out of the forest with something behind his back. The look on the sorcerer's face went from pleasant to disturbed.
"Princess, I brought you a little something. But before you get it, answer me this. I heard other voices on the way here. Are you hiding something from me?"
Surane's eyes went wide, but she looked away so he didn't see.
"No, I'm not." she lied.
"I saw you flying above the Forbidden Forest earlier today. Care to explain?" he asked again.
"I was just getting a feel for the area." Surane lied again.
"That wouldn't be necessary since you and the girls took my map from the library."
Of course, Larxene told him about the incident earlier today. Surane cursed the hag under her breath.
"I was searching for you, Xemnas. Honestly, I wanted to tell you something." she lied for the third time.
Xemnas looked at her up and down. It's strange that Surane wanted to talk to him. Then again, the hypnosis lily might have delayed effects. If so, tonight might be a fun night for him. Terra watched them with pure hatred at Xemnas.
"Well, then, what you have to say will need to wait. I have a surprise for you." Xemnas smiled.
He pulled out a bouquet of hypnosis lilies from behind his back. Surane gasped. These lilies were even more beautiful than the one lily from the night before. She could already smell the salty air mixed with vanilla emitting from them.
"More flowers?" she asked, trying to ignore the smell.
"Yes, I know. I'm repeating gifts, but you seem to enjoy flowers." he smiled, getting closer to her.
"Yeah, I do. These smells so...nice... and comforting...and warm..."
Surane held the lilies and smelled the familiar scent. She felt enveloped in a cloud of warm air. Terra raised an eyebrow. If someone cursed you to be a creature, wouldn't you hate them? Why was she acting so funny? A wisp of the hypnosis lilies' scent hit him. It smelled like grass after a summer rain.
"Surane, do you like the flowers?" Xemnas asked her, putting an arm around her back.
"Yes...they are beautiful...I could sit here and smell them all night..." she sighed, taking another sniff.
"That's what I wanted to hear." he smiled.
Terra held his nose and the hypnosis didn't affect him. He saw Xemnas's arm around Surane and was tempted to jump out and beat the living crap out of him. Surane kept smelling the flowers and the spell was growing stronger. At this rate, the hypnosis would last for a few hours without fail. Her conscience tried it's hardest to fight back. Xemnas took the flowers out of her hands and wrapped both of his arms around her.
"Princess, will you marry me?" he asked.
Terra gritted his teeth and looked for anything that he could throw at Xemnas. From all the rocks and branches, nothing was heavy enough. If Terra threw an apple, he would give away his hiding spot and get attacked. He needed a plan and fast.
Surane's mind fought the hypnosis and she didn't respond to his question. Xemnas laid her down on the ground and started touching her from the base of her neck to her chest. Surane sighed at his loving touches.
"You like that, huh?" he laughed.
"I... ah..." she tried to talk.
Xemnas started unbuttoning her shirt. The princess didn't stop him. She only sighed at every action he was doing. Terra was furious at the scene and frantically searched for something. He grabbed the apple and threw it deeper into the forest. It hit a few branches and landed in a bush. Xemnas stopped undressing Surane and looked up. He heard something.
"Stay here, darling. I'm going to check something out." he ordered.
Xemnas quickly got up and ran in the direction he heard the sound. Terra jumped out of the bush and went to Surane. Her eyes were dazed and frozen. She only stayed there, on the ground, breathing heavily. Terra didn't mind her being on the ground, suspectible to anything he wanted with her body. But, he also didn't want Xemnas to have his way with her. That was Terra's job.
"Surane, wake up. Xemnas is coming back." he told her.
"Xemnas..." she sighed, not moving.
"He's evil! He wants your kingdom! Please, wake up. I love you." he whispered.
Surane heard his voice. Her eyes flickered slightly in recognition. Terra leaned down to her face and kissed her on the lips. She kissed back and the entire hypnosis came off.
"Terra, he's trying to-" she cried.
"I know, just hang on. I'll get him to leave." Terra assured her.
"Don't leave me..."
"I'm not, I'm nearby. Just wait a few minutes."
The prince sneaked over to Ven and Iris just as Xemnas came back. Surane sat up and looked at the sorcerer.
"There was nothing over there. I'm not so sure, whatever it was, is gone yet." he stated, passing her.
"Don't worry about it. Come back down here with me." she asked in her most intriguing voice.
Xemnas looked at her, pleased. It was strange that she suddenly wanted to do this act of love with him, but then again, those hypnosis lillies were strong. Surane had to distract him with anything at her disposal. Terra and the other were near the lake and Xemnas looked like he was heading there next.
"I love the way you said that. But, I need to make sure nothing is gonna steal you away first." he said, resisting the tempting offer.
"Xemnas, I want to be your queen." she blurted out quickly.
And that was all it took. Xemnas rushed over to her and kneeled infront of her.
"Oh, Surane. You've made me the happiest man alive! I'll be a good king, I promise. I'll wear nice clothes, get this unruly hair trimmed, and I'll love our children forever." he cried happily.
Surane backed up a little, but he took her hand and kissed it passionately. She hoped whatever Terra was planning, that it happened soon.
"What am I doing? You deserve much more than this." Xemnas said.
The sorcerer kissed Surane's lips. She wanted to pull back and slap him, but it took every ounce of her being to let him kiss her. It took even more to kiss him back. It felt completely unnatural and disgusting. This man was more than double her age. There had to be something against this.
"You're so beautiful, Princess." he whispered seductively in her ear.
Well, he was a good sweet talker. She stayed still and let him do whatever he wanted. And Xemnas took the opportunity too. He roamed his hands all over her body. Surane tried to imagine that Terra was the one doing this to her, but it was difficult. Terra wouldn't handle her so roughly.
"Let me in, Surane. I'll make you happy." Xemnas continued whispering in her ear.
Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded in the castle. Smoke poured out of one of the tower windows. Xemnas let go of Surane.
"I'll be back tomorrow night for what I want." he said, clearly displeased by the interruption.
The sorcerer left the bouquet of lillies next to her and left for the castle. Terra came out of hiding and and kicked the flowers away. Surane sat up and covered her chest with her arms.
"Terra, what did you do?" she asked.
"Aqua and Kairi put explosions in the castle. It's not enough to destroy anything, but it's good enough for a distraction. Surane, why did he do all of that to you?" Terra said, putting his arms around her.
"He wants me to marry him so he can have my father's kingdom. Since Father is dead, it's all under my name and if I marry then it belong to whoever the lucky man is." Surane explained, hugging him back.
The prince held his princess closer. He already asked to marry her, but now it was up to her. He wasn't going to force her into marriage, but Terra wanted to save her from marrying Xemnas. If she wanted that...
"I love you, Terra. Please, break the spell for me... and us." Surane begged him.
"I will, I promise..." he assured her.
Terra gently kissed Surane's lips. It felt nice to have the person you love back again.
Awwww... they are together again!
Stay tuned!
