Relm of magic..

[LittleSprite2]

It was a hot summer day, and Rhannon had finnaly mannaged to escape the watchful eye's of her step mom, to wander threw the woods. She new of a secret pond where the sunlight hit the water just right, with trees and shade in all the right places, it was a very quiet and beautiful spot. She had found it about a year ago, it looked as tho no one had been there in age's. It was her own specal place to go, and escape from everyday life.

Things just hadnt been the same sence her father had been killed by what the villager's had called an evil presents. She had heard the stories about Fairy's, and Elves and other beings in the woods just as the other villager's had, but she had yet to meet any. She was 18 and had yet to wed, none of the villager's appealed to her, and it was really beginnig to frustrate her step mother.

Rhannon is a half elf. Her mother was an elf who had been abandoned by her people when she reolized she was with child. The only way they would allow her to return was to leave her child with its human father... To protect his daughter her father never told anyone including Rhannon where she came from. Only that she had been left on their door step to raise.

Rhannon stood about 5ft 4in, and weighed around 120lbs, she is slender of build, with cerves in all the right places, her breasts a little large for her frame, but not as huge as most women in the village, or as small as some of the younger maids.

Her hair when braided reached down to the middle of her back, it was long thick, and black in color. Her eyes were an unuasul shade of purple, or amithist, and her skin was tanned from being outdoors, and her ears were slightly pointed.

Most of the women of the village, made fun of her and called her many names, and Rhannon did her best to ignore them. What did she care what they thought. So she was a little diffrent.

Arriving at the pond, Rhannon sat down her basket of herb's that she had been gathering, and begain to disrobe, stepping out of the pesant clothing she was made to wear she carefuly folded them, and sat them with her basket on a near by stump.

Unwinding her hair from its braid, she began to slowly walk out into the water. It was cool against her warm fleash causing her nipples to harden. The water felt so good, she begain to relax and swim around.

She wanted to enjoy as much of the little time she had, before she returned to her stepmother's home, and work. I wonder if there really are such things as Fairy's or Elve's. She said closing her eyes and enjoying the feel of the water and sun on her skin.

She soon came to her sences tho knowing she couldnt stay long her stepmother and two step sisters would be looking for her soon enough, she would be lucky if she avoided a beating for being gone as long as she had been already.. the water had been too much of a temptation tho..

She swam to the shore and got out the walk home was long enough that her clothing and hair should be dry by the time she reached the village..

all parts taken Thanks all..

Cadeyrn sighed softly as he sat in the tree looking down at the girl as she slipped into the water, completely nude, taking her little bath in the pond. His calm gray eyes, which had a habit of changing color stared down at her from his hiding spot, his hair that seemed to have been bleached a snow white hung around his face, falling to about shoulder length. He took a long breath when the girl who had unknowingly bared all of her skin to him swam back to the basket where she had left her clothing and began to redress. His still cold gray eyes watched her as his thumb ran over the edge of a small silver ring that he was wearing on his left index finger.

The situation that he had been witnessing was the perfect situation. Based upon her clothes, there was nothing special about this woman. Had she been wearing rich clothes that made her look like some sort of princess, then the situation would be completely different, but instead she dressed up to look like a simple peasant. Beyond that he had noticed the slight point of her ears. It meant that there was a little bit of elf in her, and once he had caught her and trained her sufficiently there would probably be considerably more elf in her every night. The elf part of her heritage meant that she was an outcast of both realms. Humans didn't tend to like elves all that much but their hatred for half elves was almost as legendary as the elves' hatred of half elves. It was a simple situation. Really, Cadeyrn didn't care so much whether a girl was an elf, a human, or a half elf, as long as she could satisfy his needs. He supposed that was probably the simple result of him being a rogue soldier.

There was a deep scar on his chest that traveled from his right shoulder to the last of his ribs on his left side. It was a memento of the battles that he had been in as a soldier, and right now, because of his tunic, and the dark jacket that he wore over it, the old wound that still sometimes complained when the weather wasn't particularly agreeable was hidden behind layers of cloth. His thick leather belt held up a pair of simple pants, an earthy brown in color. Really, the dark of his jacket and his pants made his white tunic seem a bit out of place if you didn't take into account the color of his hair. His boots seemed simple enough except for the metal that was attached to the toe and heel section of the boots, which made them look like they belonged to someone of his previous profession.

He had decided on this woman, for a reason that he wasn't completely certain of. It may have been the inky black of her hair, it may have been the fact that she was a half elf and he doubted that anyone would miss her if she were to vanish. It may have simply been the fact that he had already been given a glimpse of what she would be hiding under those clothes of hers and had decided that after a preview he really wanted a taste. What was clear was that he had decided to capture her and take her away.

He adjusted the fingerless leather gloves that were on his hands and quickly moved into action, following the girl, using his magic to move stealthily, unheard and unseen between the trees. He couldn't take her yet, but the time for his movement would come soon, he knew it. He simply had to wait for the right movement to strike.

[LittleSprite2]

Where have you been i've been looking for you. Rhannon heard her stepmothers voice as she made her way up the steps into the Inn. I was gathering herbs that we needed for the food. .. Her step mother looked at the basket and even tho it was truly filled with the hurbs they needed knocked it from her hands.

All day.. and that is all you found how do you expect me to take care of this place now that your father is gone.. Get to work there are customers that need there food now.. Rhannon dropped to her knees to pick up the herbs knowing that her step mother would need them later, but she didnt have a chance her step mother grabbed her arm halling her up and shoving her back twords the counter.

Some of the customers laughed others shook there heads but minded there own buisness, some agreed with her step mother mumbling something that sounded like just what the half breed deserves..and other such comments..

Rhannon knew that she was in more trouble the customers must have been getting restless which ment they had run out of the herbs faster than she had thought they would and made her stepmother even more irratable nothing she did right now would be right..,but she also new that her stepmother would wait until the customers were gone before punnishing her unless Rhannon somehow accidently pushed her further. Picking up a tray with food and ale she carried it over to one of the tables and began surving.

Once the customers left or went upstairs to there rooms for the night Rhannon begain cleaning up the tables and counters. Only to feel the Crack! of her stepmothers hand across her cheek. Where did you go? where do you always go no one could find you you lazy bitch.. She yelled..

only to the woods i gathered herbs for the kitchen thats all.. Rhannon replyed keeping her voice low knowing better than to yell back .. Her stepmother held a leather strap in one of her hands so Rhannon knew what was comming.. You were gone too long .. your sisters couldnt find you nor did you awncer when called you'll come here and hold still or it will be all the worse for you..

Rhannon moved closer she wanted to fight back but her step mother was right she had learned the hard way that fighting back only made the beating worse.. and she didnt dare tell her stepmother that her sisters probably hadnt even bothered to look for her and had simply sat around out of her sight for a bit doing as they pleased and then just told her they couldnt find her... as was normal for them..

Rhannon closed her eyes and winced as the first blow struck and tryed to immagine herself back at the pond in the woods.. she didnt make a sound but by the time the last blow struck there were silent tears that had streamed down her face.. Now clean yourself up and find your pallet you'll take one of your sisters with you from now on.. and if ive found you've been sneeking around with some lad you'll be out on your ear..

Rhannon supposed she could be greatfull that her fathers inn was at least somewhat respectable in the aspect that it didnt allow whoring.. just gambling, drinking and food, but then what ppl did at night in there own beds was another matter.. Rhannon was just glad to escape and find her own little corner pallet behind the bar she cleaned herself up only a few spots had actually bled but mostly her back just stung and was welted and red from where the strap had struck..

she wondered again as she lay down what her father had seen in that woman to marrie her to begin with, she would have left a long time ago if she had anywhere else to go.. but no one wanted a half breed not the humans and not the elves and at least she wasnt starved here.. her back hurt so she lay on her side it would be tender for a few days so she would have to be careful.

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn had pulled up the hood of his jacket. He had moved silently as usual and then had arrived at the inn. He looked at the door for a few moments before pushing open the door and slowly stepping inside, noting that a bell that had hung over the door jingled as the door knocked it, causing it to rock back and forth from the hanger that it was on, alerting the people inside to his arrival. His eyes which now seemed to shine with a brilliant gold color. He stood silently in the center of the room before looking over to the counter with those same, slightly haunting amber eyes. He stared silently for a few long moments, and didn't appear to be that eager to go much of anywhere.

He had come here for a reason. He was here to collect the girl. His face remained expressionless as he looked over the scenery of the inn. He took a long breath before bringing his hand up slowly and adjusting his hood a little bit, pulling it down a little bit more to cause shadows to fall over his face. He spoke up softly, his voice moving through the air like warm honey, "Where is the lady of the house?"

((Sorry it is short.))

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon had awoken with the dawn, dressed and had already begun cecking the kegs and making preperations for the day to begin before her step sisters woke and both teased her about her beating and being late and complaining that now one of them had to go with her..

Mora was a short red haired girl a little plump with green eyes, Keeda had the same red hair and eyes but was thinner and had no breasts to speek of both were older than Rhannon by a few years..

Rosalen there mother turned a deff ear to her daughters torment of Rhannon until she heard the bell of the door and told them to quite down.. Rhannon go to the celler until i call our ushual customers dont come this early, and i'll not have your mixed blooded presents chacing them away. Go now while i deal with the customer.. Keeda.. Mora come along if they stay you will serve..

Rhannon shook her head keeping her thoughts to herself and moved off to do as she was told.. Rosalen moved threw the curtined door way behind the bar and stopped.. as he spoke she couldnt see his face but something about this man warned her to be cautious..

I am the lady of this Inn.. what might i do for you? She asked moving forward so Mora and Keeda could come threw Mora behind the bar and Keeda picked up a menu to give to him should he wish to see it.. as Rosaln moved to stand infront of the bar rather than behind it.

Rhannon on silent feet curious as to who had come at this early hour to the inn had waited unil her step mother and sisters had gone threw the curitn and then came back up the stairs with out a sound and moved the curtin aside just bairly so she could see who had come, but kept poised for flight should her step mother turn to come back her way for something she didnt want caught where she was..

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn's eyes which still seemed to gleam a wonderful golden color looked over the lady of the house for a few long moments before he spoke softly again, "I have come here to make a purchase." Originally he had planned on simply stealing the girl that had captured his interest, but after thinking more deeply about the subject he had decided that it would be best to follow the laws of men when it came to such things as this. He stepped towards the woman who had proclaimed herself the lady of the house and then reached inside of his jacket, pulling out a small satchel. He opened it and pulled out a silver coin, handing it to the woman for inspection. The bag was full of them, and really it was a small sum given the amount that he had in total. His eyes watched the woman of the house for a few long moments as if sizing her up.

After seeming to consider the entire situation very carefully for a few moments he spoke up rather softly again, "As I understand it there is a half elf here. I would like to purchase her." He had already done his research on the subject, and as he understood the relationship between the half elf and this woman was non-existent. She was the new wife of the father who had died some years back. Cadeyrn stared silently at the woman for a few moments. He knew the questions that he was likely to be asked 'why do you want her'. The answer to such a question wasn't something that he actually felt that he would need to share. He looked at her carefully and then spoke up softly again, "I offer you this in exchange for the half elf." He handed the woman the small bag filled with the silver coins.

His eyes flashed to the curtain for a moment, catching the girl who had been hiding there for a moment before returning to the woman of the household. This would all be over soon and he could leave with his new prize. His eyes watched the woman's reactions very carefully. Would she deny him his new pet? He would have to see.

[LittleSprite2]

Rosalen's eyes showed her curiosity and looked skepticly at him for a moment as he handed her a silver coin to look over.. she inspected it testing its waight smiling as she looked from him to the bag he held.. before she could ask what sort of purchace he had in mind he spoke again mentioning Rhannon..

It was then she looked up at him trying to take is messure but with the hood casting its shadow she could not see his eyes or features clearly.. a combined look of hatred and greed crossed her features before she masked it..

Rhannon couldnt beleave what she had heard.. why would this stranger be intereseted in her.. surly tho they held no love for one another Rosalen wouldnt sell her would she??

Please sir have a seat, maybe we can come to some sort of agreement its no secret that i hold no love for the girl.. but she did belong to my former husbend, so i am somewhat responsable for her..

Rhannon dropped the curtin her heart pounding she was going to be sold.. all that remaid was for them to haggle a price.. would this man be kinder or cruler.. she didnt know and wasnt sure she wanted to wait around to find out...

she didnt get the chance to run however not that it would do any good no one in the village would shelter her or give her aid, she might make it as far as the pond but what then... her sisters stepped threw the curitn then having been sent by Rosalen to get her and bring her to them..

Rosalen thought she was selling the girl to a human slave trader of some sort, but she had done her duity by her husbend for keeping the girl this long and besides with her around her daughters looked plain and drab and Rosalen wanted her gone..

As the girls stepped threw the curtin and saw Rhannon standing there they smiled and teased her laughing a bit at her fait So .. still disobeadent hummm..and you heard what is going on...well you wont be here for much longer now.. Rhannon turned to run but was out flanked one on each side as they shoved her threw the curtin..

Rhannon stood and moved forward on her own the look Rosalen shot her daughters keeping them where they were by the door way. She stopped just out of reach of ether of them waiting.. Her step mother smiled and it took alot for Rhannon not to setp back farther and stay where she was.. This is Rhannon.. please take a look if she is what your looking for then we have a deal..

Rhannon was angry and for once forgot herself.. You cant sell me i am not a slave.. she yelled at Rosalen and quick as a whip she found herself knocked to the floor as Rosalens fist connected with the right side of her face.. You girl have no choice i am your guardan now and can do as i please and it pleases me at this point in time to sell you and have you off from under my roof.

Rhannon slowly stood back up but kept silent as she waited to see what would happen now.. Rosalen turned back to the man and said.. My apologies she can be a bit diffacult from time to time but i am sure you have ways to deal with her..

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn's golden eyes scanned over to the girl for a moment. He watched her as she spoke up and said nothing when her adoptive mother struck her. When the question came up about how she was sure he had a way to deal with outbursts. He stepped forward, pulling out a collar that appeared to be made out of leather padding and a large ring of silver. The ring of silver appeared to have a few markings etched into it's surface. He stepped forward towards the girl, moving suddenly and snapping the collar around the girl's neck. It made and audible noise when it snapped around her neck, and the seams appeared to vanish entirely. He stared at her for a few long moments and then looked over to the woman who had agreed to this sale. He brought his hand up, slowly, taking a slight bow towards the woman.

He turned back to the door and started to walk. He brought his hand up slowly, making a 'come hither' motion with his fingers, and the collar that sat around the half elf girl's neck suddenly pulled forward, as if there was some sort of leash attached to it. He continued to walk along, knowing that the girl would have little choice but to follow him. Yes. He had a method of keeping outbursts like the one that the girl had given her adoptive mother under control. He continued to walk slowly, motioning for the girl to follow him. He spoke up softly, "I'll need your name if you don't want me to come up with one for you." He continued to walk slowly, knowing that the girl was probably going to have some sort of emotional outburst at him. She was going to tell him to screw off or something, say bad things, question his lineage, and sexual preference and probably say horrible things about him. That was alright this time, as long as she got it out of her system quickly.

The scenery around them had turned back into the forest. He had lead them back to the pond where he had seen her the previous day. He looked at the pond for a few long moments and then looked back to the girl for the briefest moment, "Bathe." He pointed to the water, his eyes looking back to the girl for a few long moments. She was going to give in. If she didn't step into the water on her own then he would have to make her step into the water with force, if absolutely necessary.

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon's hands came up trying time and again to remove the collar that had been placed on her but could find no seem, catch or anything to do so.. she also quickly learned that unless she wished to trip over her own feet that fighting against the collars pull did her no got ither..

She was angry at first but the more they walked the less angry she became insted she was wary and watchful she was away from her stepmothers crulty, and would wait and see what fait had instore before she made up her mind about this man who's name she didnt know.. He asked her name then and she awncered quietly Rhannon.. my name is Rhannon..

She recgognized that they were going to the pond she had been at the day before but kept silent until he told her to bathe and pointed at the water..

Who are you ?.. why did you buy me ? she asked still wondering what sort of man would want a half breed.. she looked from him to the water and turning her back to him begain removing her clothing.

This was a simple thing she just had to pretend he wasnt there and wasnt watching and she could do it.. She hesetated for a few moments waiting for him to awncer if he would the sound of his voice would help to distract her and she would know if he were moving closer or staying in one place..

Not wanting to push her luck she let the clothing fall she had forgotten for a bit about her back it was still tender but not too bad.. well as far as she knew anyway..

Still not looking at him but knowing he was there she moved to the lake and waded in.. until the water covered her to just below her breasts but she ducked down then so she was fully hidden and then turned back to see where the man had gone..

The water felt wonderful and soothing aginst her body helping to releave the aches and pains from it as she swam..

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn watched his new pet as she stripped the fabric from her skin. It seemed that she had accepted that the collar wasn't coming off, and she might as well not struggle against his orders, at least for now. He sat down at the edge of the water, watching the girl carefully for a few long moments, slowly bringing one of his hands up and sliding his hood back to reveal his moonlight white hair, and his eyes which still seemed to be a slight hue of gold, but at the same time appeared to be ever shifting between colors. He watched her for a few long moments as she slipped into the water and then spoke softly, "My name is Cadeyrn. I am your new master, and your new owner. You belong to me." He watched her carefully, his eyes examining her body as she sank into the water, trying to hide her body from him. He brought his hand up and pointed to her, "There is no need for you to try and hide your body from me. Like you, it belongs to me."

He closed his eyes leaning back against a tree for a few moments before slowly opening his eyes so that he could watch the girl swim around and bathe. His eyes watched her closely. There were other questions that she has asked. Why had he bought her. He smiled softly at that before speaking up very softly, "As for why I purchased you, it was because I felt like it. Perhaps I simply thought that you looked attractive. Is that not reason enough?" He stared silently ahead and then spoke softly again, "If it is not, then consider the fact that you are a half elf, and as a result, no one would say anything to stop me, regardless of how I treat you. I could tie you to a tree and do everything and anything that I could possibly want a woman for, and no one would question me when they found out that you were a half elf." He stared at her for a few long moments and then simply closed his eyes.

The situation was simple. He had already collared her. The game was over. He took a long breath before speaking softly, "I don't think I'll need to tie you up for anything though. You seem to be good at following my orders so far. I won't need to strike you like that woman did either."

[LittleSprite2]

She looked at him as he spoke her violet colored eyes visable in the light of the day, and froze noticing that his hood was down and that he was not human at all.....

"My name is Cadeyrn. I am your new master, and your new owner. You belong to me." He watched her carefully, his eyes examining her body as she sank into the water, trying to hide her body from him. He brought his hand up and pointed to her, "There is no need for you to try and hide your body from me. Like you, it belongs to me."

Cadeyrn she liked his name so different from all the human names she had heard it was almost as magical and mysterious as he was.. arrogant too.. but then from what little she had heard of full blooded elves they all were arrogant and thought themselves above humans, which really was neather here or there to her for she didnt belong to ether..

She had to admit tho as she watched him sitting there that he was extreamly handsome with his bleach white hair and shifting eye colors, but he could she was sure be very dangerous as well to cross should anyone dare to do so..

As he finnished leaning against a tree for a few moments she blushed but no longer tryed to hide herself under the water bathing as she had the other day when she had been alone or at least hadnt been aware of anyone near..Her long black hair floated around her body as she moved. Going under from time to time wetting it all..

When he spoke again of why he had purchaced her she shrugged no one had ever thought her attractive before and if they had they hadnt approched her for fear of what others in the village would think..

she thought over the rest of his words and agreed no one human or elven as far as she knew would lift a finger against him if he should chose to do as he had said, and he was right about not having to hit her if the collar could pull her along and make her follow him she didnt want to know what else it could do..

she shivered at the thought.. Your right, no one would help one such as I.. but for the moment i am glad you did buy me for what ever reasion... and i'll try to be obedant, i've no wish to see what else this collar can do....

He staired at her for a little longer and then closed his eyes resting, she finnished swimming and slowly made her way to the shore to sit on a near by bolder in the sun to dry before putting her clothing back on, not wanting to disturb him she didnt know how far they would have to travle

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn had opened his eyes as the girl had gotten out of the water, his eyes scanning over her body as she moved to the stone so that she could get dried off. He watched her carefully for a few long moments as he wet skin seemed to shimmer in the sun. She looked shiny, almost like she had a glowing aura about her that he really didn't understand, like she was some sort of goddess. He smiled softly. Her proportions were perfect as well. She looked real instead of like the whores who painted themselves up to stand on the street corner of a random town. He smiled softly at that as he watched her, his eyes settling on that collar that he had given her. So her fear was what he might use the collar to do to her, eh? He smirked softly at that. There was actually very little that the collar could do other than pull her along behind him, but he wasn't going to admit to anything like that. After all, if it worked to control her with something that it could do, it was probably a better control method than anything that he could come up with.

His eyes returned to the pool of water in front of him again. He stared at it for a few long moments before speaking up again, hoping to get the attention of his new slave, "Save me having to examine you closely. Is your maidenhood still intact?" He slowly looked over to her, his eyes seeming to glow a wonderful violet now, similar to the color of her own eyes. He watched her for a few moments, not sure that she'd understand the question, "What I mean is, are you still a virgin? Have yo been yet to take a man to your bed?" He was almost certain that she hadn't. He actually didn't bother asking her any more questions or speaking again until he had the answer to that question. If she was smart, she would likely put the pieces together and he would come to the logical conclusion for what they were going to do before he had to ask her anything.

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon blushed and looked both suprised and offended at his question altho she knew she should probably have expected it.. when he repeated his question in simpler terms she got angry but mannaged to keep her toung in her head until she was calm enough to awncer..

I am still a maid sir.. that is i am still vergin.. wether you will chose to take my word as to such is of corse up to you.. she bit her bottom lip and cursed herself for adding that last she didnt mean to bait him but some of the anger and offence she had felt at his question had come threw..

She wondered now what he would do if he would take her word or examine her himself.. she looked away from him then down at her feet and then out at the water.. his eyes had changed from a golden color to a violet matching her own.. did all full blooded elves eyes do that or just a few? did she dare ask.. no not yet not until she knew him better, altho he had awncered her questions so far..

[Bluemage]

Cadeyrn looked at the girl again when she spoke up. There was a slightly snappy tone to what she was saying, and then there was the way that she had ended her comment with that little snap about how he might not believe her and in that case should examine her himself. He stared at her for a few long moments before speaking up very softly, "Have I given you any reason to think that I would not believe what you say?" His eyes still a wonderful violet color watched her intently, a soft smile upon his lips, "As for examining you to find the answer for myself, I suppose it would be much easier to just bring you to the grass and take you, to make absolute sure that I know what the answer is when I'm done with you."

He slowly pushed himself up and walked over to her, still enjoying the sight of her naked body splayed over the rock. His eyes examined her quickly before settling on her face. He brought his hand up, tracing his fingers over the side of her face ever so gently and then he spoke barely above a whisper, "Have you ever been kissed before?" His eyes continued to watch her as he spoke up again, "I suppose that you haven't. The life of a half elf must be difficult."

After looking her over again he brought up his hand motioning to her, "Stand." There was no tug on her collar this time, it was just like he was asking her to stand up.

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon felt a bit ashamed of her self for snaping as he spoke the awncer to his first question was no he hadnt given her any reasion to assume that he wouldnt take her word, it was simply years of always being doubted, abused ect..

She looked up watching him waraly as he continued to speak not daring to move altho she thought seriously about running if only for a moment.. but quickly decided against it and tryed to stay as calm as she could.

He stood then slowly and made his way to her she did her best to resist the urge to cover herself he had told her not to bother before and it was difficult not too.. she saw his hand comming and tryed not to flinch afraid for a second he ment to strike her for her wayword tounge, and relaxed visiably when he simply touched her ever so gently..

Her eyes met his then when had the last time anyone had touched her out of kindness .. not sence her father had passed that she could recall, no.. longer.. he had pulled further and further away from her when he had married Rosalen. It had just gotten worse after he died..

His voice drew her from her thoughts as he wispered asking if she had ever been kissed before she hadnt... he straitened back up as he continued not really needing an awncer from her as he mused allowed about how difficult the life of a half breed must be..

He surprised her further then by motioning for her to and saying for her to stand, but it didnt sound like an order more a request.. not feeling a tug on the coller to make her do so, she stood slowly of her own accord happy not to be being forced..

Her mind again turned to wondering what he would do now.. and she wasnt sure how to ask or if any questions from her would be welcome at this point, but she couldnt help it.. What are you going to do ? she asked softly and a little worriedly

[Bluemage]

His eyes, still the wonderful violet color the mimicked her own looked up, catching her own eyes. She had asked an interesting question. What was he going to do? He took a long breath as he watched her eyes carefully. He then spoke very softly, "What am I going to do?" His eyes remained set on hers and he spoke softly again, "You already know the answer to that. Anything that I want." He stared at her calmly and then dipped his head forward, placing a soft kiss against her lips, holding it there for a few long moments. His hand held her chin, keeping her in the nice long kiss. He stayed there for a few very long moments until he slowly broke away. He stared into her eyes for a few long moments. She was here, and trapped with him. His hand slowly slid down, his fingers brushing ever so softly around the edge of her collar as if tickling against her neck a little bit. His fingers then pulled away from her.

"Rhannon." Her name slipped over his tongue. He looked at her for a few long moments. He was enjoying her so far. He spoke up softly again, "Your peasant clothes don't suit you..." He took a step away, still looking at her carefully, "But you should put them back on and remove my temptation to take another one of your firsts." His eyes had darkened slightly and now appeared to be a cool gray. He watched her carefully for a few long moments, taking in the sight of her naked body one last time.

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon remaind motionless as he repeated her question and awncered it she moved slightly as tho she might step away but then he closed the distance between them and his lips met hers.. she felt her heart beat pick up and her mind go blank his lips felt good against her own.

She felt his hand come up to hold her chin and keep her in place as he drew the kiss out making it longer her eyes closed her skin felt warm where he was touching her and she wasnt sure she wanted him to stop...

he broke the kiss then and her eyes opened his fingers slid along her skin causing her skin to tingle as he traced down the edge of the collar.. before he stopped saying her name.. and that her clothing did not sute her, as he moved away from her.

He also told her she should redress and she couldnt agree more she didnt understand what she was feeling and nether was she sure she was ready for more of what he had in mind but she was also beginning to feel curious..

she dressed quickly her long black hair falling down around her sholders as she pulled on her dress intent on what she was doing she did not see the change in his eye color until she turned to face him once more.. will we camp here, or move on? she asked to fill the silence as he watched her.

Cadeyrn looked at the girl for a few long moments and then he spoke up very softly, "Are you sure you want to camp so close to your old life?" His eyes scanned over her for a few long moments before he spoke up again, "I do not think that it would be wise. I find it difficult to trust that woman..." He brought his hand up, rubbing his fingers at his forehead. He then looked back to her for a few long moments, "There is still a sun in the sky for now. We should venture further into the forest." He slowly began venturing into the forest.

He knew that the girl would be following him closely. He knew that the girl would follow him. If she tried to stop then he knew that the collar that he had given her would make her follow him. He stared silently ahead. He looked back to the girl every now and then, making sure that she was still following him, and was still safe. The journey was fast and they made it through the forest quickly. As the sun sank down, vanishing beyond the trees, casting long shaddows over the area, he smiled as he had found what appeared to be a clearing. He looked at the girl for a few long moments and then spoke up very softly, "We'll camp here...it's too dark to continue traveling." He sat down against a tree watching the girl for a few long moments, paying close attention to her. He motioned for her to come to him again, "Come. I will braid your hair."

Rhannon awncerd agreeing with him..releaved that he had decided to move on..and not stay close.. No she's not trust worthy, and i've no wish to stay anywhere near here.

She did her best to keep up with his pace following easly threw the thick bushes and trees over fallen branches. She fell behind a few times but not often and found one good use for the caller was that when she fell behind she didnt get lost because the caller would litterly pull her in the right direction..

When they stopped in a small forrest glade for the night Rhannon was tired but only because she was unused to such travle but in time she would have no difficulty keeping pace.. she watched as he settled against a tree.. she looked for a spot to rest as well but turned back facing him suprised that he would offer to do something so simple for her..

She didnt argue or fight she did as he asked and moved over to him settling down where he indicated for her to do so..

He brought his hands up slowly when the girl sat between his knees. His fingers brushed through her raven black hair for a few long moments before he slowly started to twist her hair into a braid. He watched her neck and shoulders as he did this carefully. He spoke up again very softly, "The adventure has taken its tole on your body." He continued to twist her hair into the braid, his eyes looking up to the back of her head now, "You're tired. I know." He took a long breath, knowing that his breathing would lightly tickle over the back of her neck. He considered the situation carefully for a few long moments and then managed to finish with the braid.

He was still thinking about how he was going to work this. He knew what he wanted, but doubted that he could afford it. He stared at her for a few more long moments before speaking very softly, "Would you like to rest tonight?" He knew that it wasn't the sort of thing that a normal person in his position would ask, but he knew that if she was tired there was no way that he was going to force her to do something to make her hate him later. He watched her for a few more long moments, waiting for her response.

The feel of his fingers combing threw her hair felt wonderful to Rhannon she closed her eyes and enjoyed it not knowing when or if such a thing would happen again in the future..

He spoke after a bit as he begain winding her hair into a braid the feel of his breath against her skin causing her nipples to harden beneath her gown and her back to stiffen a little.. he mentioned that he knew she was tired she nodded her head in agreement that she was..

When he finnished with the braid she said Thank you Cadeyrn it was the first time she used his name sence he had told it to her, and she hoped he wouldnt be offended she had heard that most slavers or slave owners wished to be called master at all times but he had not told her to adress him as such.. or at all really.. so she used his name..

unsure if he would want her to move now or stay where she was she waited for him to tell her what to do when he suprised her yet again by asking her if she wanted to rest for tonight.

She turned around to face him kneeling infront of him on her kees between his legs..the look on his face suggested that he wasnt teasing her that he truly ment what he asked.. yes i ... i would like that.. if its alright.. she said hesitently glad he wasnt toying with her.

Then she wondered how or rather where he wished for her to sleep.. she knew where ever it was she lay her head it wouldnt be anywhere out of sight or reach which she didnt mind because there were many dangers in the forrestes aside from other races there were animals as well..

where would you have me? rest i mean.. do you wish for me to lay next to you? she asked watching him seeing him smile she wondered what he was thinking but didnt ask.. afraid she wouldnt like the awncer to the question if she did..

[Bluemage]

He looked at her carefully for a few long moments. He smiled softly as he looked at her for a few long moments and then brought his hand up rubbing at his nose for a few long moments. He smiled softly and then brought his hand up slowly. He smiled as he looked at her carefully. He spoke up softly when she asked where he would like her to sleep. He smiled softly and then held out his hands, "Here. You can sleep in my arms." His smile was one his lips again as he looked at the girl for a few long moments, still holding his hands out. Of course he knew that she'd do what he said. It wasn't like she really had much choice.

Once her back was against his chest again he wrapped his arms around her and let his eyes slowly flutter closed. He closed his eyes for a few long moments and then spoke up very softly, "I'll wake you if there any problems." His fingers traced over her flat stomach for a few long moments and then he let his chin rest on her head, "Do your best to get some sleep. We have some more walking to do tomorrow." And with that he closed his eyes.

[LittleSprite2]

Rhannon did as she was told and curled up in his arms her back against his chest it would be warmer this way for both of them and he promised to wake her if there were any problems, his fingers traced over the flat of her stomach tickling and yet not it felt good she bit her lip but not before a small sound escaped..

His chin rested on her head then and he said she should get some sleep because they had alot of walking to do in the morning.. she closed her eyes and tryed to sleep it was odd and yet comforting to have someone next to her holding her..

it was something she hoped would happen again in the future he had a strange way of putting her at ease and making her feel secure, he could have done as he pleased but he hadnt insted he had given her the option to rest.. soon she would come to trust him she already did a little..

For Cadeyrn the night has passed quickly. He hadn't had any dreams, as was usual for him. He had managed to rid himself of the habit of dreaming as most of his dreams turned into nightmares about his battles. He woke up to the soft feel of the girl in his arms and looked at her for a few long moments, letting his body wake up. He kept the girl hugged against him and then looked slowly to see the trees for a few long moments. The girl who he had bought seemed to be happy to sit back against his body. He smiled softly as he looked at her for a few more moments, his chin still resting against the girl's head.

He took a few long breaths before speaking very softly, "Hmmm..." After checking his robes for a few moments he pulled out what appeared to be some beef jerky. He brought it up, holding it up so that she could smell it. He was sure that the smell of breakfast would start to wake her up. He smiled softly, hoping that she'd wake up.
