Perception
She stood there for merely a moment, internalizing the image of the place; a wonderland of color and texture and life, before turning to find her dragon.
This world had changed her perception of reality, making her physically have to fight to remove herself from it; because she never wanted too. It was such a sweet temptation to just sit there and marvel at the beauty of this plain, but she knew she could not remain there; she had won for herself a chance at a life, and she would not turn her back on it even for the magnificence that surrounded her.
And as she approached the pool that contained him, her vision shifted. And she could not tell if it was a dragon or a man waiting for her within the water.
"You returned. I did not know if you would." Came his lyrical voice that floated out of steam, awe tinting his notes. "You where lost in the god-world for days completing his task; I was afraid I had lost you to him."
She shook her head softly as she stepped into the overheated water, heedless of her clothing and retraining herself from leaping into his arms in favor of curling up against his side, feeling peaceful and sleepy. His arms came around her, pulling her closer and tightening about her waist in an possessive action that spoke of his uncertainty.
"Of course I came back; I'm only mortal after all."
Note: -Yawns- So... I think I had a bit too much fun when I went for a girls night on the town with another fan-fiction author. We need to do it more often.
