Goddess Avaline/Ciara~Michiko~Io's house...

"We'll leave leave when your better. The Goddess..." Avaline paused, "well... she tends to be a bit, over-the-top. Perhaps it is the lack of sex. It is rumored that it has been 700 years."

Avaline got up and moved to the refridgerator and took out another bottle of the thing called Bud. She had seen the box in the other room with the chairs, play a picture of a man turning the top of it, so she did the same and a bit of haze blew from the bottle. Taking a long drink, she begins to choke on the vile taste, then looks at Michiko..."Ewww... you like that?" Quickly she saw the questioning look in Michiko's face. Avaline stuttered, "I thought it would taste better cold, I don't usually have my Bud cold."

She put the bottle down and hid her expression, hoping Michiko hadn't noticed that she was not familiar with the Bud. She didn't want her to realize she wasn't really Ciara. Avaline looked out the window, wondering how her cloudy home was doing with Ciara only up there and Zues entertaining her.

Avaline showed Michiko where she could bathe and then told her she had to run some errands, but she would go with her wherever she needed once Michiko had rested and bathed, "You'll need other clothing. There is some in the walls of that room. Please fill free to wear any material you wish."

Avaline left the house and moved to the backyard. She called out to Zues, "I need to come up for a bit." She heard a chuckle then faded into the air above.

 

[LadyFairy]

Oh! Wow really?? That’s fantastic…I would love to see them. She said a look of pure fascination, and wonder on her face. At the thought of DNA reconstructed dodo birds. Thank the Goddess she thought. Hearing him ask if she wanted some wine from 2002 was a little shocking, and she almost slipped by saying that it shouldn’t be that old yet it was only….. when she remembered the year and said.. Yes that’s fine, but do you have anything a little older?

Glancing down she noticed the disk he had laid aside. what is this thing?
Wyn asked picking up the disk and looking to look at it. Remembering the broach in the pocket of her robe she reached down to make sure it was still there.

A feeling of relief flowing thru her as she noted it was indeed still in her robe pocket. Smiling up at Scytherin as he came in handing her one of the glasses of wine. Wyn asked him again about the Disk incase he hadn’t heard her earler.

 

[Marcus2]

Well the thing is, I really don't know what it is, it was given to me eariler today by some...strange person. She told me not to lose it for it was worth more than anything in the world. He shrugged and sighed as he took a sip of the wine. It was good, not as good as some of the wines he had tasted. He was about to speak when he heard the door chime. He looked around and then went over to the door. He placed his thumb on the scanner and it blinked green. He saw what looked like a man, wearing similar clothes as Wyn.

Before opening the door, he looked back. Hey Wyn, you didn't tell anyone where I lived, did you? Or, expected anyone at that matter? He asked, going back into the living room. He lookde at her for a moment thena t the door.

 

[LadyFairy]

Scytherin, Wyn, Richard

Wyn looked at him in confusion. No i didnt, and no i am not expecting anyone. Why do you ask? She said wondering what was going on. She had heard the door bell also, but was confused as to what that would have to do with her.

Seeing the look on Scytherin's face she could tell tho that he didnt belive her. Which upset her even more.. Hell she thought i havent been here long enough to know anyone or do anything and i am already in trouble.

Look if i had known your adress i wouldnt have been asking the guy selling news papers how to find you, or if he had even heard of you. As you can see i have no cell phone or anything else on save for this robe, and you gave me a ride so how would i have told anyone anything?? To late she reolized she had used the word cell phones.. Did they even have Cell Phones now or was it all hollogram's.. To late to take it back now.. She thought Damn.. Standing there she looked at him waiting to be tossed out on her ear.

 

[Marcus2]

He looked at her a bit confused but shrugged. Well, in any case, there is a man outside, wearing what seems to be similar clothing to yours... He said as he went to the door, straightened himself up and told the AI computer to open the door which caused the door to swing open.

As he looked at the man,he smiled just for the heck of it. Hello, may I help you?

Richard's Grand Entrance~The Future or bust

(goddess gave him jeans and a shirt)


Richard fidgeted and squirmed in the awating for his entrance. As a minstrel, he had dealt with being fashionably late, and a daunting entrance only seemed to add fuel to his fire, and yet... he didn't feel like that here. Each second that passed, he felt like there was another direction to go with his story, another way to do this, another possibility of succeeding or being shot down.

When the door finally did open, he realized no one was behind it. No one came to stare out at him. He was surprised, looking for a moment at the unaided door swinging open, mocking him and his grand entrance.

But, then a man did appear, just standing there, not opening the door, but waiting for it to introduce his guest.

"Wyn?" He asked, looking past the man, hoping there wasn't another mistake, "I need to speak with Wyn. It's of utmost importance."

264 B.C. Aidan ~ Io

Standing beside Io in aww for a moment as a ball stays afloat in the air before us I gulp hesitantly then for the first time begin talking to Io unsure of myself... "Mmm... Mmm.. M'lady... I... Uhh... What is that thing? Where exactly did you say you were from and what am I to help thee with?"

Before hearing her answer I mumble on half eagerly and half intrigued with all of the questions I had running through my mind. "I am sorry M'lady, let me introduce myself... I am Aidan Shanaar..." saying this I clench my fist again placing it as well as a knee to the ground, bowing myself before Io... "How may I be of service to you M'lady." Not giving a second thought to anything she tells me as she quickly explains her objectives, I am in debt to this woman for freeing me from those ropes I think to myself as I continue listening carefully to take in all that is said.

"We are searching for a type of flower M'lady? I shall acompany until you are no longer in need of my help and shall forever be eternally greatful for your kindness. Thank you for giving me my freedom M'lady."

Looking up from the ground as she sends the strange ball soaring back through the air, watching it disappear before my very eyes I smile through my helm thinking, well its either this or go back to being called a damn idiot... I think I shall take my chances with this mysterious yet breathtakingly gorgious woman.

Kneeling still I await my orders... watching her begin to walk away then her turning back to see me there she called back to me, "Come Aidan we shall talk as we walk." Hearing her approval to move I stand swiftly and begin following in her steps... All I had known was to be given orders my whole life, not yet knowing what the true meaning of freedom was, I patiently kept a pace behind her awaiting any other orders that might be given.

 

[LadyChance]

Io/264BC/Aidan

His voice was deep and silky and for a moment I lost all thought all anything but just the sound. Thinking to myself, "My Goddess what have I gotten myself into with this?" Giving a small shake of my head, and to think I hadn't even seen this man yet. But here he was kneeling before me, thanking me for freeing him. I hadn't really done anything that I wouldn't normally have done for anyone. It just so happened that this man had something I needed. He could help me with a quest, one given to me by the Goddess herself and I would be damned if I gave up.

"We are looking for the Bakers Larkspur but I do not believe it is here in your time." Taking a deep breath I try to deside how much I should tell Aidan or if any at all except the basics. What if he thought I was totally insane and refused to come with me? Even though he had just told me he would for saving him, I couldn't see making anyone come with me that did not want to. And once I took him with me IF he agreed was he to come back here... and if he did what would become of him then? So many questions and no answers, again I look to the skies as if they would give me some clue to maybe answer one of two of them at least. Wondering how my sisters were doing with their quests, hoping that none of them had been sent back to dinasour times.

"Aidan, you are in no way obligated to come with me, please know you are free. I will not give you orders nor are you to do anything you do not ever wish to do for me ever please. The things I will tell you soon will be very strange to you and I am not sure how you will take to them. Trust me this is all very strange to me, and I will not blame you if you think I am nuts. Sometimes I am finding that I might actually be and this will all be a bad dream that I shall wake up from soon."

Taking a deep breath I look about us hoping to spot somewhere out of sight that we might sit and rest for a few minutes before figuring out where I need to go next. This was almost to much it was like a list to follow. Travel to some time that I had no clothing, no money, no brains. Check Find a guy and free him from certain life of slavery. Check Check Figure out where to go from here.... Um Yeah right, where was I to go now?

"Ugh Goddess now what am I to do, he is here. Do I bring him forward in time or do we stay here hoping that I don't die from old age before the flowers come into existance? Never mind I will figure it out I hope, please don't take any of that the wrong way. You know me, I blow steam sometimes, but normally only you hear it I know and I thank you for listening to it." Giving a huge sigh I go back to talking to Aidan, turning my head to look at him thinking he would be right beside me and almost panicing. Then realizing that he is following behind me like a puppy waiting to be thrown a treat. Heaving a huge sigh, what was I going to do with this man?

Heaving a huge sigh before saying to him, "Aidan please, walk here beside me so that we may talk privately, I do not need anyone else to think I am nuts. You no longer need to walk behind anyone. You are not a slave and you belong to no one. You are free.. Free to make your own choices in life.. Free to live happily, have a family a future. I but just need you to help me finish this quest so that I might go home as well."

Seeing a small shed of a sort or at least what I am hoping to be a shed I head in that direction. Looking about us as we slip within the cool interior of the building, finding some barrels sitting close enough to each other I sit down indicating for Aidan to do the same thing. Waiting until he is comfortable before desiding now is the time to pour out my story so this man can truly think I have lost it. Opening my mouth to begin then closing it wondering where to begin.

"Ok long story short, my sisters five of us asked our Goddess for help finding the perfect man for each of us. She gave each of a quest in different places and told us to look for certain names, men of those names. The name I was given was yours, and I was told to come here and seek you out. Hoping that you can help me find the Bakers Larkspur. It is indeed a type of flower but it does not grow in my time anymore. But it does not grow here either, which is the part that I am lost with." Stopping for a moment I remember something about the broach the Goddess had given to each of us. "Shit I forgot to keep the broach it is within my clothing that I changed out of. I have to get it back or I am stuck here in this time with no way home." Looking to Aidan I wonder how much of my story he was believing or if he was just sitting there waiting to make a run for it as soon as my back was turned.

"Look I have to get the broach back, you can stay here while I go to get it if you like but I have to get it so I can go home when the time comes. If you want you can leave as well and if you do then I wish you a long happy free life." Standing I hold out my hand to him wanting to shake and wish him farewell but instead he just looks at my hand as if I wanted something.

Avaline as Avaline/clouds with Ciara, then a dash to Io's house-Michiko/Avaline~Ciara

Avaline faded into view and looked at the woman who had obviously made herself comfortable. She looked at her unwanted guest who was lounging on her bed and blowing whiffs of fluff up and down into the air.

"Comfy?"

"Oh, yes. Thank you for doing my work for me."

Rolling her eyes she looked at the woman. "Well, it will only make your quest more difficult, I'll add to it."

"You wouldn't dare!"

Avaline walked up to her and pointed at her chest, "You my lazy human, have no idea what I will do to you."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm resting you lazy fool!" Avaline moved away and swept her arm up, blocking herself off from the woman. "Zues," she called out. "I'm very lonely." Nothing greeted her but silence. "I truely am lonely."

A soft breeze caressed her skin, an answering whisper touched her cheek, "Yes, I know... in time. But it has been so long, and I am believe I have fallen for one of them."

The air around her rumbled with the sigh of her leader. "Yes, you have often told me I got to involved. But he is different." Avaline sat down and picked at the speckles of clouds that floated around her. "Perhaps... perhaps someone else will come into my mind, perhaps another, so I can be with him."

The breeze picked up and Avaline's shoulder's sagged. "Yes... I know that also, he has to want to be with me for all eternity or I with him, but only for as long as I live on his planet in his time." Laying down on her back, she asked him one more time, "Can I ... go to him, would you release me from my oath of loyalty and live as a human... if he wishes to not live here with me?" An answering whispered "Yes" came to her on the gentle touch of the air surrounding her, soon Avaline found herself back in the yard of Io's home.

She moved back inside, her heart both heavy and glad. As she walked in she saw that Michiko had finished her meal. Avaline heard the water splashing, "Ahhh, she figured out how to work the water well. Smart woman that one."

Avaline moved back to Io's bedroom and waited for the woman to arrive back. She allowed her mind to wonder and she recalled what sister she would have to visit next to set the young Michiko back to rights and restore her health. While she waited her mind traveled over the man, that may have captured her heart, but she saw no way to have him for herself.

264 B.C. Aidan ~ Io

Smiling widely as I take in the story I think to myself. "Why shouldnt I believe this woman? I have heard of more farfetched stories than the one she has told me." Looking to her as she continues speaking to me in a cautious voice, knowing she is trying not to startle or shock me with any of her bizarre tale. Then as she looks to me holding out a hand to me I hear the guards near us... "They must have went this way!"

Apon hearing them I take Io's hand and pull her down onto me, removing her from sight... Then as the guards pass I whisper softly... "I shall help you with what you need M'lady... before we are to go any further though I must change clothing and take off this wretched armor... None beside my first master have seen my face... they shall not know of me if I am to change." Removing my helm slowly from my head... feeling the long hair within it hitting across my back and shoulders as it is set free, I gently toss the helm to the side letting this woman along with anyone from this point on to see my true features... the true Aidan I thought.

Knowing I had pressed her to me quite swiftly not letting her take in this action I find her somewhat startled... "I am sorry M'lady I did not mean to shock you." saying this I look into her soothing eyes of lavender showing the warmth within my own, not having felt a womans body in quite some time. I loosen my arms around her, holding her as gently as I can now within my arms... smiling warmly as she takes in my facial features for the first time.

 

[Mistress Silver]

Alexandria~Dale~1806

The chili is on and I am watching it with a mother-like eye. Stirring when I see needed. It took me a moment to acclimate to the odd stove. The thing was an ancient artifact, I swear it true. I'm not sure what had happened to the sexy cowboy as he quietly left the kitchen.

As I dice a chili pepper I muse to myself about the cowboy's body. Dale . . . I've never known anybody with that name . . . it sounds cute. Oddly, it fit my dusty ranch owner.

As my mind meanders through the clouds a sudden loud crash startles me into screaming. I quickly turn, the knife in my hand held high. On the table, almost hidden, is my crystal ball.

"Io?" I ask dumbfounded. More excitedly I scream, "Io!"

I grab the ball from the table and Io's laughter becomes audible.

Her voice resonates crisply from the little ball as she speaks, "Alex hun you have such wonderful timing. The starcrossed lovers are from a book, find the book and yes I know how much you hate reading it but find it. Or find the author, change the ending so that all are happy with it. But make it happy, if you have to steal the dang thing and change it. I am having a wonderful time here in 264bc, with a man I have no clue what he looks like or if he even speaks. I am sure he is thinking I am nuts now that I am talking to a ball. I love you too Sis.. Be safe and hugs call if you have need of me. See you soon!"

I pout slightly and wave bye-bye to my sister's voice. Well, I had thought is was a book, but that makes it hard. Plagiarism? Why do I always get the missions that cross the law? Is it because I'm a bitch? A possibility, if you ask me. Seeing as how I am talking to myself I must be asking my self, right?

I squeeze the crystal orb in my palm and it pops like a bubble. I gather the chopped peppers and dump them into the pot. The cooking utensils that I am now using are not top of the line like the ones I have at home, but they get the job done nicely.

The chili cooks for five more minutes before I douse the fire and run out onto the porch. I'd seen this on a movie once and have always wanted to do it. I firmly grasp the cowbell and I jerk the damned noise maker around like rapid dog. The cacophony explodes in my ears and reverberates through my entire body. Screw that! I'll just scream at them next time, but it looks like it got the job done. I see people heading towards the house.

I quickly set the table and gather the other foods that I decided to cook at the last minute. Rolls of honey bread, fresh from the oven, are steaming still. The chili smells spicy and I'm ready to have a bowl. I found some apples that I sliced into wedges and whipped up a sweet, fluffy cream to go with them. I could only make a simple salad with carrots, radishes, and cucumbers dressed with a dapple of sweetened vinegar and some homemade cheese. Desert is still in the oven and will take a few more minutes to bake. Three pies for desert. Apple, peach cobbler, rhubarb. All home made and each of them packed with enough flavor to hit a man's stomach and his mind. These gentlemen will not soon forget that I am a damned good cook!

 

[Marcus2]

This was all very odd for him. She had told him that she had not suspected anyone to meet her here but she didn't even know where he lived. Had he followed them? He didn't know but neither did he like it. He held the door closer to him as he looked at the man. Well, perhaps you can give me the message and I can pass it on to her when I see her...

He believe her story and made it as clear as possible that she wasn't Wyn, if he didn't back down, then, well, he didn't quite no what he would do.

 

[poohlive]

"You mean, she's not here?" How odd. Richard sighed, looking at the man who poised himself protectively over the door. Another dead end, he was living through this all over again. He came to this time with no information, no help, and was trying to perform a miracle. Even of someone who wasn't freaked out by everything that beeped or clicked, or tried to seel him merchandise, would be hardpressed to perform this.

"I was sent here from..." He had to play it suave, suave, "A mutual friend of ours. Avaline, I don't know if you've heard of her. She said I could meet Wyn here, and that Wyn was supposed to come with me."

It was vague, but it was the truth. At least, as much of the truth he would let some stranger have... but perhaps this wasn't a stranger. This seemed like Scytherin, although he didn't know for sure. It might have been another James, just a guy who doesn't understand where he is.

"It's important that I talk to her."

 

[Marcus2]

Well, the next time I'll probably see her is tommorow at the track. Considering that is when I have my next race so, you could always meet her there. He didn't know why but, it felt like this man was telling the truth, on part of his behalf so he felt he should give him a chance anyway. He lout a quick sigh as he watched the man think what was going on tommorow.

 

[LadyChance]

Io/264bc/Aidan

"I am sorry M'lady I did not mean to shock you." Shocked No... Stunned Oh My Goddess YES! He was perfect from his glorious body that I now found myself pressed to, all the way to his beautiful grey eyes that were staring back at me. Blushing furiously I couldn't help but feel his heart beating under my hand and the rise and fall of his muscular chest with each of his breaths. Thinking to myself, "hello and just where have you been all my life." Being reluctant to move from within his arms I just sit there like an idiot not remembering how to speak. My thought process left me with no clue of anything except the man sitting under me.

Ok yeah... it had been a long time since I had let a man hold me like this, but oh how this one felt good. Warm... Safe... Protected were just some of the words that came to mind. He had a wealth of long blonde hair that I had an itch to run my fingers through, reaching just past his shoulders from the looks of it.

Realizing that I am staring at him I try my voice out, being very proud that it sounds almost normal with just a touch of ‘I want you badly’ sound to it. "Wow, has anyone ever told you that your very nice looking?" Pfft nice looking what was I saying this man was stunning, radiating pure sexy appeal with his looks and body, his personality was almost perfect. Now if only I could get him to understand he was free with a mind of his own, he would be exactly what I had asked from the Goddess.

“Um.. Yeah perhaps we should be going quickly, knowing the Goddess she may just Wisk us away and I need my broach to get me home afterwards.” Ok so I had drank in his features like a starving woman feasting for the first time in a long while, but who could blame me? I felt my face going up in flames with all my staring and I knew we had to go now, before I changed my mind and stayed right here with him.

Slowly withdrawing from the safety of his arms, gone was the warmth the security and in came a coldness I hadn't before experienced. Looking anywhere but at him as he discards all that he can of his armor. Hearing him begin to speak telling me it was safe to turn around. I notice he has placed the cloak about him and if I hadn't known any better I would have sworn that he was someone from a royal back ground. Who knew maybe he was, I had no clue since I really didn't know much about him.

Peeking out and around to make sure there were no more guards about trying to remember which way we needed to go. I had to get back to my clothing and the broach, then we needed to find somewhere that we could rest in safety. Somewhere that we could talk and maybe figure out where to go from there, besides then I would get to listen to him and drink in my fill of his deep silky voice and good looks.

"I think its clear, let us be on our way. Hopefully no one has found my stash of clothing or noticed these being gone. Although most clothing now a days seems to be basically the same so I am not sure anyone would notice the difference." Speaking quietly to Aidan before slipping out the doors, keeping my pace to a slow meandering walk. As if nothing was wrong, putting my hand upon Aidan’s arm so we looked just like a couple out for a stroll or so I hoped at least.

Taking several turns in-between buildings, finally we end back up on the road to the Coliseum and the alley that I had exchanged clothing at. Thanking the Goddess several times over as I locate my clothing exactly where I had hidden them, and the broach in question. Shoving the broach in close to my heart I debate whether to take my clothing or not, deciding that it might be good to have them just incase, making a small bundle that I carry within the folds of my barrowed garments.

"Now where to? Somewhere out of town I think would be safer, I figure they will be looking for you here in the city. Maybe?" Looking to Aidan, I catch a look of something close to sexual awareness upon his face as he watches me closely. Feeling my face turn bright red again as I wonder just how long it had been since he had been around a woman. Finding my thoughts suddenly uncomfortable, for some reason the thought of him with his arms around someone else just didn't make me feel very good.

Taking his arm again we begin our slow stroll towards the city gates and to true freedom. Goddess help us let us make it out the gates with no guards stopping us, I just didn't think the people here would take to kindly to me stealing one of their most prized Gladiators right out from under their noses. Sending up and special thanks to the Goddess as the gates pass us and no one gives us even a second look at our passing.

Continuing to walk for a while never looking back, then as night begins to fall we come upon what looking to be a community water hole. Seeing several people and animals milling about under the inviting looking trees. Heading that way soon we find ourselves the guests of a Man and his family, happily enjoying a meal of fresh fruits and good conversation.

 

[LadyFairy]

Scytherin, Wyn, Richard

Wyn had to admit she was curious as to who would be looking for her here in this time, and how they had found her. The only explanation that she could think of was that one it was one of her sister's, or two the goddess had sent them.

Walking over twords the door she heard Scytherin tell the person that they could find her at the track tomorrow. Stepping back into the living room so that he wouldnt feel she was evesdropping. Wyn walked over and sat down on the couch.

Picking up her wine glass she looked at it wondering where she was going to get clothing for tomorrow, and where she would stay for the night. Closing her eyes her head hurting she decided not to think about it for right now, Setting her wine glass on the coffe table, and laying her head back against the couch before she new it she fell asleep.

264 B.C. Aidan ~ Io

As the invitation for a nice quiet supper arises I look to Io in question, seeing her nod in approval, smiling to the man I extend my hand to him, "Greetings Sire... My Name Is Aidan, it is a pleasure to meet such a gracious man as yourself... Hrmm, pardon me Sire... what was's thou name?"

"Oh! Forgive Me... My name is Tanis and this is my lovely family... Welcome to our humble abode... I am sorry for such short introductions Sire, but it is supper time and I am starved... Please sit and feast with us... And please do tell us of your travels."

Smiling in agreement then turning to Io pulling out a chair to her, setting her against the table carefully then taking my seat next to her, we sit and enjoy a peaceful meal of luscious fruits...

Finally after telling of our travels, or what we had made them believe our travels were we had realized it was getting late and had bid the family farewell... Almost making in throught he door then turning as Tanis begins talking again, "Please... slumber here for the night, there is no reason for wandering the woods and spending the night in the cold. Looking to Io seeing her exhausted I nod to Tanis in agreement.

The room we had been set in was made for one obviously because of its size and lack of bedding but Tanis was right, it sure as hell beat wandering in the cold... Insisting Io take the bed I lower myself to the ground and set myself up against the wall... Watching as Io gets comfortable apon the bedding I smile as she protests to my decision of giving the bedding to her I whisper softly in a joking voice... "Well M'lady you could always come sleep down here with me if you would like?" I chuckle softly as I await her reply, not thinking she will in actuality do it.

Io smiles back softly at me and places herself apon the ground next to me, wrapping herself within the blanket covering... Watching as she tosses and turns trying to comfort herself into sleep apon the hardend floor, seeing as she turns and rolls closer to me apon the floor I carefully scoot in closer to her, elevating her head I set her against my chest and wrap my arms gently around her... "Silly Woman" I whisper softly... "Are you comfortable M'lady?"

Seeing a faint smile across her face I watch her close her eyes, not knowing if she is asleep or not yet I tighten my arms about her more to give her warmth and watch, quietly whispering to her the tale of my life as she lay what looks to be relaxed within my arms...

 

[cobrasangel]

Raven and Ben ~1983

As my hand touched his knee...the shock of recognition went through her. I knew what he was feeling I felt it as though it was my own thinking and ...he was very aroused and in that moment I was aware how much I was becoming...the way his rough hand touched my cheek...and then on my hand....but to feel his arousal as strong as it was...oh my goddess. His voice reached me...amid the feelings coming from him and brought me back to the moment.

"Just what would that mean for me, I mean, without sounding callous, Am I left high and dry, one hundred years behind where I am now?”

" No no...I don't believe so ..I mean, we will return back to our own times...and ..oh but the Goddess...well she may have other plans...I hope not, but there may be danger and ..well she did say that to me and I hope not for you or... myself"

I could not break the lock my eyes had on Ben's...it was a smoldering intensity..a passion of such proportions, that I found myself slightly breathless..combined with the feelings I was picking up from him..I was finding myself wanting to reach out and wrap my legs around him and let him take me right here and now...feeling the gently rough touch of his hands, not only on my cheek, but all over my now very inflammed body.

The local band started its first nightly set, and the music broke my semi trance like state.
Leaning forward to Ben, I said as loud as I could muster, "Should we find someplace quieter to talk more of this?"

Looking around quickly scanning the bar...there were some booths towards the back away from the music and postage stamp dance floor...a little darker back there away from the crowd, now gathering for the band and the promise of bodies close to each other .
This would be the sign as to whether or not he wished to help me...he could wave it off or agree to talk further and help me,it all depended on his wanting to go anywhere with me.

 

[poohlive]

Richard~The cold shoulder~Into the Future

Richard gave him a hard off stare, wondering if perhaps he was doing the right thing. He had no one in this time, lost like a little mewling pup. The goddess had told him to find Scytherin and Wyn, and now that he's found one... they just tell him to go away.

He turned around in the empty hallway, unsure of even which direction to go here.

"The goddess will be most displeased," he said, finally, "I've come all this way, she's brought me here, and now I can do nothing. She won't like this one bit. I'd hate to think what a goddess would do if she gets mad at someone."

Richard sat down in the empty hallway, wondering what to do. What if the goddess got mad at him. Maybe he was supposed to beat up this Scytherin guy.... Richard doubted he could do that though. The guy looked like a brave knight who could kill a dragon if he chose too.

All Richard had was a silver coin, with no inherent value. He couldn't even get a whore for it.

Goddess? He grinned and shook his head, he really, had no diea what was going on, he figured he was dreaming now. Everything today was starting to become very, odd. But it all connected somehow. He sighed and leaned against the wall and fished out about a hundred dollors and knelt beside him. This will get you a good place to stay at, in fact, there is one just a few blocks down the road south of here, its quite luxuirous, just tell them your a friend of Scytherin and they will be at your will like a servant. That is for tips, the rest is on me, the race is at 3 tommorow so, be there around 1 alright? He liked helping people, he didn't know why but he just did and this felt like the right thing to do at the time.

Michiko - Avaline - Io's Home

Michiko felt and looked a bit better after having cleaned up, she smiled softly in the mirror as she noticed the bruises didn't look as bad as she had thought. She dried off with one of the towels and then wrapped it around herself, suprised to see Ciara in the bedroom. "Oh.. I am afraid I need clothing.. my kimono is torn and dirty."

She couldn't help but look at Ciara, she noticed the shape and curve of her lovely body, admiring every inch of her form. She had to shake herself out of it, sighing a bit. Years of pent up sexual frustration were bleeding out onto the surface, but she wouldn't let herself look like a sex hungry dog infront of this woman she was trying to protect.

Those eyes traveled back up that form, over the sensual globes that pressed out against her cloth, up that slender neck, past those supple lips, and up to those eyes. She hadn't even realized she had spoke as she stared at Ciara, "You are a true vision of beauty, I am not worthy to look upon you.."

Avaline/Ciara~Michiko~Io's home...

Avaline smiled back at Michiko, "Thank you." She turned to gather a pair of jeans and a red silk halter top from Io's dresser. Her thoughts over what Michiko had said out loud touched her. Though it was not Avaline's body that had been complimented, it still felt nice to have been in possession of a fine figure that someone noticed.

Her belly warmed at the thought that Michiko thought her a beauty. She even found herself blushing, as she walked over to the young samurai, "I believe you are lovely also. I am sorry for your bruising, I know I have a sister that can help you and we will travel to her and heal your wounds."

"You mentioned the Goddess?" Avaline asked feigning her ignorance. She moved to sit on the bed as she watched Michiko dress. Her body was firm and well toned and Avaline could tell that she took much pleasure in her training.

"What is it you do?" though Avaline knew the answer, she also knew that Ciara would know nothing of the woman and perhaps, Avaline herself would learn something else about the young woman.

Michiko - Avaline - Io's Home

She blushed a bit as Avaline watched her dress, the clothes were strange but easy enough to understand how to put them on. While her body was indeed firm and toned, it was very feminine, extremely pale as well and one could imagine how soft her flesh was. She felt better now that she was in fresh clothing, brushing her hair back quietly. "Yes, the Goddess.. she took me from my home to find you. I am sorry I was unable to fufill my duties. As for me? I am samurai, I serve my lord or lady as a warrior and protector."

She reached down toward her hip instinctively, but that sword was no longer there. It was like a phantom arm that she was having to come to terms with losing. She sighed and looked back to Ciara, smiling and trying to ignore that voice in the back of her head, whispering how wonderful it would be to spend a night with this beautiful woman. It was obvious she had something on her mind, and she was suprised herself by how much she lusted for this woman she had never met before.

Avaline/Ciara ~ Michiko ~ Io's house ~then.....

Avaline stood up from the bed, "Well I have met the Goddess as I told you earlier and she is a bit eccentric at times, so we'll find my sister Wyn and she'll heal all your bruises."

She wondered how she could easily come up with a way to explain how she knew where Wyn was then she remembered the contraption called the computer. "Come with me," she took a hold of Michiko's hand and pulled her along up the attic stairs, sneezing she used her hand's to push the cobwebs away, "Good god, you'd think they'd clean up here," she muttered, trying to drown out the small rumbling sound Zues made after she said god.

Stopping infront of the white box, she stared at if for a long time. She could feel the woman's eyes on her, waiting for her to do something. Avaline hit the big box with the black face. Nothing happened so she smacked it again. "Hmmm, it doesn't seem to be working," she said. Michiko said nothing, she just waiting patiently. Avaline pushed some of the little squares on the long rectangle, again nothing happened. "Oh... silly me!" She rolled her eyes hoping to feign ingnorance. "I remember now, we don't need this."

Avaline took Michiko's hand again and led her to the golden door. "We'll travel through here. Let us both think of Wyn and we'll arrive wherever she is. Right by herside."

"Since you have that disk and I have this portal, if we both think of the woman Wyn, my sister, the great healer, we'll pop into whereever she is. OK!"

She held onto Michiko's hand tightly and the two women moved into the portal.

Ben & raven 1983

Her hand was like electricity to my body. My arousal now full blown I wondered if she felt it too. It was not easy to concentrate on what Raven was saying to me, but I did my best. Her explanation of being returned back to present time made me think maybe she was just wanting a good fantasy fuck. I’d have no problem with that.

But what was this talk of a goddess? Did Raven really believe in goddesses? My mind returned to earlier in the day when I was pushed against the wall of the building, practically being molested by that lady. Could it have been that she was the goddess and that the disk she slid into my pants had something to do with all this. Yea, right I told myself, nah, she was just some nympho who got off on teasing men.

I returned my attention to Raven, placing my hand over hers, not yet ready to let her feel higher than the middle of my thigh, not wanting her to know yet how much she turned me on. As she continued speaking I found myself licking my lips, imagining it was her neck I was licking. I could see her nipples were hard, her lips moist. I slid my hand onto her thigh and felt her heat.

The band beginning their first set, the music beginning to drown out our conversation. Raven looked around and suggested we move to a quieter spot. I wasn’t sure what the sexy girl was after but damn she sure had an enticing way about her. I was beginning to wonder if I was getting set up for something or if she was just as horny as I and in need tonight to relieve the horniness.

Of course I was more than willing to move to the booth with Raven, it being in the back of the place where it is dark and quiet. I helped her up from the stool, being the gentleman for now, and watched her sway towards the booth. I nudged my friends, pointing to what I was about to follow and told them I’d see them in the morning at work. They hit me in the shoulder and poked me in the ribs, laughing, telling me to go enjoy myself. As I made my way towards her and the booth my eyes remained fixed on her beautiful ass as she weaves her way past tables towards our booth. Every guy she passed turned and admired her as well.

I sat down next to Raven, making sure our thighs touched, placing my arm on the back of the booth, my fingers able to play with her hair. I took a drink of my beer and set it on the table. Turning towards her, I placed my free hand on her thigh, mid way up. Looking deep into her eyes I said, “Now, what were you saying about danger?”
