The Fourth Age (closed)

[queenclaire]

Eruve got to her feet as she watched the bear Uther take down try to reach her until he beheaded it. She looked behind her, down the tunnel, as Uther told them to run. She saw the army of white eyes heading their way. She ran hard back the way they came.

Once outside, she leaned against a tree. “That was fun,” she said after Uther spoke. She looked down at him, happy he was alive. She moved and put a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him, “Thank you.” She was referring to him saving her from the other bear that would have gotten her if not for him. She moved her hand from his shoulder to his cheek an cupped it lovingly for a second.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther didn't have to think about stretching up to kiss her, and he sighed as he began to calm down, "No, thank you. If you hadn't distracted them first, we might've lost someone." Soon he rose and looked about. "Where are the drakes...?"

"They will have gone to hide like sensible creatures," Dayrn muttered. "It is time that you all go to find them, and go back to the south shore. Your allies will arrive soon."

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve shook her head at what Uther said after he kissed her. Of course she was going to distract the bears. She did not want to lose anyone down there. It would be a terrible place to die. She could only imagine what would happen to a poor soul that died down there. Even their body could be used against them eventually. She was happy this trip had a good ending. They all survived.

She looked to Dayrn as he spoke. She sighed as she looked around, wondering where the drakes would have hidden.

 

[KieranSoares]

"They will have run back the way we came," Dayrn answered what they were all thinking, and he went on his way back through the valley. The others rose to follow slowly and they were thankfully unhindered the entire way. However, no one could deny that they felt like their group was being followed.

The drakes revealed themselves to their riders at the edge of the forest, and Dayrn parted from their company to await them there when they returned. He was the safest of all of them. He directed them straight south and so they went. By the time they reached the south shore, great sails were on the horizon, but not nearly the number they'd expected. Certainly, Aragorn had predicted more than half the adventurers would flee, but Uther knew that many were missing for another reason.

As soon as the first ship anchored and sent boats ashore full of armed adventurers, the leading General came to Uther's group, being none other than King Aragorn, surprisingly, and accompanied by King Eomer of Rohan and, to Merry and Pippin's equal delight and terror, Samwise Gamgee.

"Sam!" Both battered hobbits practically tackled their old friend, who laughed aloud and brought a much-needed smile to the faces of all around.

Aragorn came to shake the hands of each of the first adventurers followed by Eomer, and Aragorn smiled to them, "Glad to see you all. I decided to come myself. Harken and Arwen can handle Gondor themselves."

Though Uther was glad to see him, Uther just couldn't smile. "My lord..."

"What's the matter, my friend? Did-" Aragorn then paused, and his eyes scanned over them. "... He's gone... isn't he...?"

"I'm sorry, sir... we were ambushed by werecreatures calling themselves Erygonians..."

"... Did he die honorably?"

"'E wen' out fightin', Aragorn, I saw 'im m'self," Gimli spoke up, "Slew three o' th' blighters."

"Then I will cling to pride rather than grief. I'm glad the rest of your survived, I don't think I could've stood to lose any more of my dear friends." He met each of their eyes, including Eruve's. "Please, tell me what you've discovered here."

"I think that'll have to wait, sir," Oswyn cut in, "We'd best get your warriors ashore and settled for the night. They need to be ready for anything... We've seen Dache, and he is not a creature to be trifled with."

 

[queenclaire]

Once they reached the shore, Eruve stood there silently. She watched the ships come in. She had been hoping for more. They needed a bigger army, but some was better than the number they were now. It was clear that small group could not last alone. Now they would stand a better chance at winning.

She watched a bit shocked to see who came to their aid. She wondered how he would handle the news Uther would have to tell him. She stood back silently as they all spoke. She felt for King Aragorn learning of his sons passing, especially this way. But he did die a hero and he took comfort in that.

“Yes,” she added to what Oswyn said, “this place holds many secrets and most of them don’t want us here. It is best we some place safe first.”

 

[KieranSoares]

"It's best we avoid the friends we've made, for their safety," Uther suggested, and Aragorn nodded.

"Of course. I believe position at the edge of the forest where we can defend ourselves from aerial attacks would be best." Everyone agreed to that and the group, once they were gathered, headed for the edge of the forest, but Uther warned them not to go too far within nor chop down any trees. If this forest was anything like Fangorn, it could be a problem if it felt threatened.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve was happy for the extra men they had along. She followed the group to the area at the edge of the forest, where they settled in to rest. She helped where she was needed, keeping busy. She wanted to let the new men get some much needed rest before anything happened. Her group needed it as well after what they went up against today. She was sure most, if not all of them needed a rest. She sat down by a tree and started to clean her sword after killing the bear. She hated to leave blood on it since it was her father’s sword and he always kept it in pristine condition. She would look up, from time to time, at all the men they had now and smile.

 

[KieranSoares]

One everyone was settled for the night and all seemed quiet, Uther came to sit behind Eruve, wrapping his arms around her waist. Her back came to his chest and he let his head rest on her shoulder. "Evening, love..." He muttered softly before kissing just along the edge of her ear. "Everyone's set for the night."

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve smiled as she felt Uther come up and sit behind her. She loved the feel of his strong arms around her, holding her close. She closed her eyes as he kissed her ear and spoke softly. He had a way of whisking her away to a place where nothing seemed to exist but them. She raised a hand and cupped his cheek, “That is good, my love.” She leaned into his embrace, wanting him to hold her. He had saved her life today. She wanted to savor her time with him. “One day you may tire of hearing this, but I love you,” she said softly, turning to look at him, “and thank you for saving me.”

 

[KieranSoares]

"I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing your voice," he kissed her neck now, in that lovely warm way that sent chills through her. He wouldn't admit it just yet, but he'd been wanting her since they'd escaped the dark halls underground. Something about seeing how strong and incredible she was and their near-death experiences did that to him, wanting to make every moment count.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve thought it was good he would not tire of her voice since she planned on never leaving him. She closed her eyes yet again as he kissed her neck. She gasped slightly as he kissed her in a way that made her knees weak, luckily she was sitting. She moved her head so he would continue, not wanting him to stop. “Uther,” she said softly as she reached up and ran her fingers into his hair almost holding his head to her neck. She did not even think about the fact that someone could probably see them right now, she was lost in the bliss.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther gladly continued his exploration of her slender neck and lovely skin as she welcomed him, and he couldn't help one of his hands wandering, slipping up beneath the edge of her tunic to caress her bare skin beneath His back was to the camp, so no one could really see what was going on for now. Not that he'd really care at the moment. Hearing his name from her lips caused his own to curve into a smile against her skin. "Yes, my lady?" He asked when he pulled back for only a moment.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve smiled as Uther snuck a hand under her tunic. She loved the feel of her rough skin against her softness. His hands were rough, yet very gentle. As if he was scared he could hurt. When he touched her, chills went through her body and she was left with longing for more. She smiled as he spoke. “You are driving me wild, love,” she whispered softly, “Your lips on my skin is heavenly and I love anytime you touch me. Please don’t stop.” She could not help but be turned on by what he was doing. And even if it lasted only a moment, it was nice that they had found the time for it. This place was full of dark secrets and danger, yet they had been able to still find time to remind each other how much they meant to one another.

 

[KieranSoares]

"I won't stop, if you do just one thing for me," he whispered, then stood and stepped in front of her, taking her hands. "Come with me, and you'll have me at your command until dawn draws us away." She could see in his eyes how eager he was to have her and to please her. All he'd thought about in their most dangerous moments was whether or not he'd live to tell her how he loved her again, and whether she'd be safe so that he might.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve smiled at Uther as she saw the look in his eyes. It was the same look she had in her eyes. She only wanted to relish the time she had with him. She loved their down time together. She squeezed his hand lightly and nodded, “Sounds wonderful, my love.” She stood up and kissed his lips softly and lovingly. She only wanted to show him how much she loved him. He was her heart and soul. He was her everything.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther led her away to his tent, which was set a bit away from the camp for their own purposes. It was small, but just fine for the two of them. He slipped inside with her and laid her on her back before continuing his loving, hungry exploration of her perfect skin.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve walked with Uther as he led the way to the tent. She liked how he set it aside from the other ones. It gave them that much more privacy. She smiled as he laid her back and continued what he was doing earlier. She smiled as she closed her eyes and enjoyed his mouth and hands. She ran her hands down and slipped them under his shirt, enjoying the feel of his muscles under her fingers.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther obliged her further by shedding his tunic, and he spent quite a long while simply worshipping her skin, removing clothes as they got in his way until she lay bare beneath him. Soon he decided to let her take over to see what she might do, rolling onto his back with his love straddling his waist. His calloused hands stroked over her shoulders and her breasts and her stomach, and it was crystal clear how obsessed with her skin he was.

"You're so incredibly beautiful, Eruve..." he encouraged gently. "I can't believe you're mine in moments like these..."

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve loved the way he worshipped her slowly and sweetly. She relished that they had the time to actually take their time. She smiled as he rolled, putting her on top. She sat on top of him with sexy grin as he continued to let his hands explore her body. It was the best sensation.

“I am yours in any moment, Uther,” she whispered as she leaned over and nibbled on his ear, “I will always be yours.” She nibbled along his masculine jawline to his lips. She kissed them, softly and slowly. After kissing him deeply, she pulled back from the kiss. She looked down at him, “How is it that I got you?” She then moved and nipped at the sensitive skin on his neck as she moved to the collar bone, licking a line across it.

 

[KieranSoares]

"I still don't know what kind of magicks you cast over me," Uther spoke with a smile as his hands found their way to her thighs. The more attention she gave him, the harder he became against her. His breathing had picked up a bit with his hunger for her body and company, and he wasn't shy at all about showing the effect she had on him.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve paused of a moment and looked at Uther with a devious grin as he spoke. “Believe me,” she said and then nipped at his chin playfully, “I had, you would never know.” She could feel him between her legs, getting harder. She could not help but rub herself against him as she moved back to his ear. She had seemed to grow comfortable with being with him. He was her first and now she had no problem, when alone with him, showing him just how much she wanted him. “Magicks or not,” she whispered into his ear, “I am going to have my way with you tonight, my Uther.” She still rubbed herself against him, slowly this time, just to tease him.

 

[KieranSoares]

Uther groaned softly at the intimate contact and the sensation she gave him. He sat up just enough to kiss down her chest and catch one of her lovely pink nipples between his lips. Suckling needfully, his hands moved elsewhere to her hips, Encouraging her gentle grind against him.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve smiled as Uther groaned. She enjoyed that she could make him make noises like that. She arched her back slightly, giving him better access to her breast. She loved it when he teased them with his mouth. She continued to move against him as he encouraged her to do so. She moaned softly as she, herself, was just as turned on as felt to be. She closed her eyes as he teased her nipple causing her to grind him a bit harder. He was turning her on expertly, but she was still wanting to tease him a bit. To enjoy his body.

 

[KieranSoares]

With yet another, slightly louder, sweeter groan, Uther gladly gave her opposite breast equal attention before letting his head lay back to gaze up at her. He always seemed to be struck with wonder by her and she knew it. Reaching between them, his thick fingers found their way between her parted thighs and to her sensitive little bud there. Massaging slow, deliberate circles, he kept his eyes on her lovely face to see her reaction.

 

[queenclaire]

Eruve was happy when Uther turned his attention to her other breast. She smiled down at him once he laid back down. She found him extra sexy laying below her. She moaned as he used his finger to tease her now. She closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip as the feeling over took her. She continued to tease him, though her movements slowed a bit. He was doing a good job at teasing her. “Oh gods, Uther,” she moaned, sitting up straight.
