Briton
Asuna looked around the house in Londontown as it was called and she supposed it was good enough. She heard her thoughts and snorted. She really was a snotty bitch at times and she sighed. Kameron should be handling this crap and she was really resentful. Now she really thought she was bad. She mentally calculated the time frame and she realized she had turned him and a small smile spread on her face. She stood up and yelled for Admal.
“Yes? Yes? What? Are you okay?” He asked shaken up.
She had woken him from sleep and he was bleary eyed. Asuna laughed and she had a genuine smile.
“Kameron! I turned him already! He is mine now. He wanders. If we find him.” She said clasping hands.
“Great sex?” Admal asked still waking up.
She slapped his arm and he rubbed his arm.
“He is a great fighter! Keen mind! Great friend. Wonderful man. He just handles everything.” She said frowning.
“Oh I see! You have become so connected to your frère that you…I am so stupid!” He said jumping up.
“What?” Asuna asked.
“An uppyr queen and her frère are like an arm and a leg. You cut one off from the other and you are handicapped. I am so fucking dumb! You operated without them for so long and now! Well we shall find Kameron and he shall handle things.” Admal said happily.
“He liked to keep to Africa and Southern Europe.” She said hopeful.
“You are to stay here with Tekeshi; Aldwyn at least will help protect you, and Alum. He throws a killer dagger. Trained him myself.” He grinned.
Asuna actually was smiling widely. She was on “diet” to put on weight and they had not seen or felt Fionn but they had only been back a few days. Alum would stare at her with his beautiful doe eyes. She was getting a little spunk back. Kameron would be a boon. She got up and wandered the multi level house and she found Alum in front of a fire and she could tell he had fed recently.
“Hello.” She said softly.
“Oh! Hello.” Alum said looking up.
“Tekeshi will here tomorrow so you can do your duties in Astana. I imagine Stofan dislikes you babysitting.” She said jokingly.
“He is dealing.” He said as he read.
“I wish for you to see a memory.” She said taking the book from his hands.
“Oh?” The somewhat timid healer said.
Asuna sat in his lap after arranging her skirts and she sank fangs into his smooth neck. What he mentally saw made him overly flushed and he was gripping her tightly. When she came off his neck; he was panting.
“Who was he?” Alum asked.
“My Nobu. Have you heard of the spider healer Nobu?” She asked opening his shirt.
“I have.” He whispered in awe.
“His is mine.” Asuna said holding his jaw and beginning a kiss he could not handle and he snarled into.
Alum was getting himself deeper into something and it was beginning to tear him apart. Each act became more intense and this time she dragged him into a wraith coupling and he lay on the floor of the library after, completely nude; shivering and almost violently shaking from the most intense orgasm he had ever felt. She slept on a rug and he had told her that Admal knew. Maec also knew so she felt no need to hide anything. Alum pulled himself by the chair and he was shaken to his soul. Sanra permeated his thoughts and this woman was not her. He shut his eyes and he imagined she knew their family history rather well and he felt no need to belabor old history. His light brown hair was down and the Shouten healer took deep breaths. He kept telling himself it was only a means to an end. Alum refused to feel.

Admal had to hit him. He was hostile, that he did not expect and he thought he lied. Admal was going to slap Isha for this one he decided. Kameron sagged in his arms and he phased back to Briton and she was brushing her long hair. He dropped the beautiful man on the bed and gave her a nasty look.
“You did not say strong as a fucking ox. Really nasty temper and oh! His bite hurts like a mother fucker!” He yelled.
“I can make it better.” She said amused as she sank her fangs into his arms.
He grunted and it did feel oh so much better.
“I know what would feel so much better Isha.” Admal mumbled.
“I promise.” She said kissing his bite mark that WOULD scar.
Kameron was slowly coming to and he was dressed in Arab appearing clothes and he blinked his eyes. He saw her. Rage, betrayal, lust, need, love, and a million other emotions hit him.
“How could you?” Kameron roared.
“Kameron please! Before you go on a tirade, please listen!” She said backing up.
“Do you know how long? How much…how much I have needed you?” He bellowed.
“Hai! Kameron wait!” She yelped and he slammed her against a wall and it was hard enough to break the plaster.
Admal was just grinning at her having to deal with the irate frère. Kameron expected more cruelty but Admal was aghast when she was kissing him! He had taken a wholloping and she was kissing him! Kameron was groaning as she struggled to get to him. The Shouten prince was PISSED. He was not jealous at all. Hell no, he would enjoy seeing this particular man naked. Kameron was someone he wanted to know but the son of a bitch had beaten the hell out of him! Isha was here shredding his clothes and murmuring words of such profound need. Admal was being a spoiled brat but Damnit, Kameron had hit him! Kameron had slammed her on the bed and neither paid attention to the fact he was there except to say shut up. The half empusae stewed and he grabbed a chair and decided to at least get a show for his troubles.
He was against her and he was assaulted with images and feelings. This was NOT the Asuna that had changed him. It was her but older. He was so attuned to his queen and she had suffered. She had suffered terribly. Kameron had wondered why he had suddenly felt like killing himself. Her head was trapped between his arms and she was letting the tears fall for him.
“I have needed you.” She wept.
“You have?” Kameron said totally shocked.
“Hai. Felt like…” She started to say.
“Dying.” He finished.
“Hai.” Asuna nodded emotionally.
“Never.” Her frère growled.
Admal was captivated by the deep connection and he wanted a frère. They were such intense connections. He was not so much jealous of Kameron but of the idea of him. It was obvious that the man was an asset. The creature could fight like nobody’s business, powers were ungodly for a turnling, and his loyalty was unwavering. Admal watched as the emotions turned into profound and Kameron made love to her. He fed her at the same time and it made him so damn full of desire himself. This creature was perfection to the extreme and her screams were escalating. Admal smirked and he could get that from her. Kameron still had too many clothes on in his opinion and he stood up. He phased off the frère’s first and then hers. He smiled to himself and that was better. He got a peek of cock and her so lovely core clutching. He sat back and made faces and licked his lips several times. Asuna locked eyes with him for a moment and he heard her silent thank you. He nodded and he watched the convulsions begin. His Isha said the one thing he did not expect and she asked him to hunt a mortal. He was shocked and he was not going to pass up the chance to “hunt in the open” so to speak. He could not help it and he kissed her quickly and he stole a peck from a shocked Kameron. He phased out a moment later.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Admal was in the slums of London Town and he was really hungry. He was thrilled to get to do this openly. Thoughts of pinning Isha down and making her taste the blood made him groan. To see the fire in her eyes was thrilling. Soon he was in the less the seemly part of town and he let a nasty ass mortal try and take him down an alley. The beast had foul breath and loose teeth that were brown but his nasty knife was against Admal’s throat.
“What’s a pretty one like yerself doin down her?” The man slurred from alcohol and bad speech.
“Looking for a good time. The taverns in the other part of town are staid. I like to bleed a little.” Admal said huskily.
“Ooooh yer a nasty one. Like nasty shit?” The putrid puke said.
“What are you offering?” The Shouten said controlling his rising blood lust.
Suddenly the mortal was hauled off of him and in mid throw; his neck broken. There stood Fionn Hammel and he stared hard at Admal with disgust.
“Do you mind? I was fixing to eat!” Admal said furious.
“I do mind.” He growled.
Fionn jerked the white tunic shirt open and exposed Admal’s tattoo. He traced it and Admal stared at him with anger. In a blink of an eye; his mouth was against Fionn’s throat and he was gasping as the ekimmu forced him to feed from him. The half empusae man shut his eyes and tasted blood so powerful that he was moaning like a fucking whore high off of modern drugs in the midst of mind blowing orgasm. Fionn only held him with force and soon Admal stumbled away and he was high he realized.
“Why, why did you do that?” He asked stunned.
“This! I felt your aura however weakened by your infant blood.” Fionn stated poking his tattoo.
“This was the crest of my mother’s clan.” He said confused.
“I know. It was the crest of my mother’s people.” He said breathing hard.
“What?” Admal asked shaking.
Fionn said nothing and ripped the shirt from him completely. His tattoos were beautifully done and Fionn ached badly. This man’s mother was his. He recognized the name and he jerked away.
“What do you know?” The Shouten asked almost hysterical.
“How in the hell did that woman come to mother you?” He demanded.
“My father captured her. I only hear this understand. I was told by Maec that it took five Shouten to hold her down and one possessing her. She was fair of hair I am told as I have the tr’Awnhi hair but I have her eyes I am told.” He said trembling.
Fionn clenched his fists and he looked away.
“I am not fully ekimmu.” He said in a fierce whisper.
“What?” The other man said rocked.
“There is an order to the old daemons. There is an order and my father was not the creator you understand. My father was just a whore of a man and a ruler on this plane for a long time. My mother was one of the first empusae. Arianrhod was so much like her. She looked a little like her. I loved my mother very much. She had many children but I was the only one of Taranis. He fucked her and left her like she was trash! My mother ruled all of what is Norway! For some reason she treated me better than most of my siblings. I believe she loved my bastard father and he shunned her. I hated him! I hated Taranis but I was strong. I was a mighty warrior and my mother had me trained early. She made certain she fostered me with my sister; Arianrhod. She was after all a fellow queen. My sister was not that much older but she would play with me and do ridiculous things to my hair. My mother’s hair was white. She had blue eyes and she bore that crest on her brow.” He said clutching the wall.
“Are you telling me?” Admal said stumbling back.
“That you are a much younger brother of mine? Than yes.” Fionn said with too much tension.
“What was her name?” He asked emotionally.
“You do not even know her name?” He asked stunned.
Admal shook his head no and the ekimmu felt sudden rage. He wanted to know who would dare touch his perfect mother.
“Halldora. Her name was Halldora Fardahl.” His apparent half brother stated.
Admal was not one given to tears but a couple fell down his face and he stumbled away from Fionn. The white haired man growled and he followed him. It was obvious that he had honored her and had tried to find out all he could without knowing hardly anything. He grabbed Admal’s shoulders and he held him firm.
“You saw me before.” He said choking back emotion.
“You were masked before. You intended to obliterate that human. You let out your aura for a moment.” Fionn stated flatly.
“He raped her brutally. My father raped her and intended to kill me but she stopped him Maec said. She protected me and when she was birthing me in her cell; Ganek killed her. Maec said he ate her heart.” Admal said choking badly.
“Your sire was in part Bilae. I will see justice for our mother. I promise you this my little brother. The nursemaid told me that you were protecting my daughter.” He said in a stiff tone.
“I felt connected to her.” He said too softly.
“Because you are her blood. I will honor Arianrhod’s wishes and I trust my daughter to this brother. You honor our mother and I honor you for it. Go.” He commanded.
“Wait! I have questions.” He said blankly.
“Not tonight. Is she well?” He demanded stiffly.
“Asuna or Aibhlinn?” Admal asked dizzy.
“Both.” Fionn responded.
“They are well. Asuna is unable to feed her which angers her but she is well. I secured a Shouten wet nurse; healthier for her.” He said softly.
“Good. I turned that nursemaid out to empusae in France. I could not have her telling of our secrets.” He said walking away.
“You really intend to stay away?” He asked shocked and almost angry.
“I intend to honor Arianrhod’s words. There is much you do not understand. There are things I have done and she has done in her other life. There is much mistrust and pain between us. Even with Gwydion not here. I want peace as does she.” He said looking away.
“So you are?” Admal asked.
“Like you? Half empusae? Yes. I would horrify you how I deny myself. I take in lots of blood. I care not for mortals and I kill them without thought. I hate most infants and consider myself ekimmu and I most certainly hate scum. There are others coming. Glutton yourself little brother. You look inviting.” He said and he phased away.
Admal was suddenly hurting in his heart and he hurt for this man he had not known was his other half sibling. Admal NEVER cried and he wiped his eyes and soon enough through humans came upon him and his eyes bled silver. It was a bloody mess and he even left their bodies there. His whole face was stained red and even his bare torso. He phased back to the town house and Asuna was sitting up in bed. She was shocked by his appearance and he looked haunted.
“Admal!” She said jumping up.
“Isha.” He whispered.
“Oh Kamis! What happened? Fionn? I smell Fionn. How many did you kill?” She said shaking.
“I know who my mother is.” Admal said laying his head against her breasts and he actually wept.
“Admal? Admal!” Asuna cried as he broke down.
He said nothing and Asuna was seething. She held him until he actually wept himself to sleep. She called Alum and she stormed from the town house.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She found him in no time. Asuna stormed his private sanctuary and she slammed him against the wall. He snarled at her and her eyes were fully green. She lifted her hand her claws glowed green from her Dakkasou. Fionn grabbed her wrist and held her away from him and tried not to snap her arm.
“What did you do to him? What did you do? What harm has he done you? It was his brother that freed you!” Asuna snarled.
“I did nothing! I felt his aura!” He hissed as he fought the powerful woman.
“He is good! He is a little selfish but he is good! He may be an infant but he is strong you stupid fucking iceburg.” She snarled.
“I know what he is Arianrhod.” Fionn snarled back.
She lost her mind and she slashed his face. He cursed as her acidic poison burned and popped his skin. He belted her across the face and she landed on her ass. She lifted her chin and the look she gave him was one he recognized; his sister was awake. His own eyes bled green and he made a hiss of fury at her.
“You wish to fight now deartháir?” She asked in that deep husk.
“Absolutely! You lied to me about Nemain!” He said in a dangerous tone.
“You lied to yourself about your feelings. Why should I have shared my beautiful moment with a man who could not even contemplate a future with me?” Arianrhod’s voice asked.
“Because she was my daughter Arianrhod! She was not Gwydion’s and you let him raise her! I loved you but you loved him! You loved that fae! Where did you have room for me?” Fionn demanded with anger.
“I loved you early on Fionn. I loved you the moment you stepped foot into my court. You had my heart deartháir but it was me that was not good enough for you!” Her voice said coldly.
“She hates you, you know. The persona of the woman you become hates your memory! She is glad you are dead. She is glad you were killed. She said that you were a sorry bitch. I tend to agree.” He said laughing bitterly.
Arianrhod stiffened and turned to look at him with such cold. A smile played her lips and she looked at him meanly.
“Does she now? She is a fool. She and I are the same and yet she cannot accept that I made mistakes. Apparently you being one of them. No worries Fionn. Nemain returned to this soul. That this precious woman did not tell you. Nemain was born to her and another canine daemon of amazing strength. Yet another man calls her daughter.” Arianrhod’s voice said to hurt him.
It had the desired effect and he belted her across the face. He ended up strangling her and she was choking. Fionn realized that his deirfiúr had let her go and he released her throat. The white haired man sobbed out and crawled away from her.
“What happened?” She gasped out from a raw voice.
“My lovely deirfiúr surfaced again. You really need to blend your personalities woman. Heavens she could be so cruel.” He said with his chest heaving.
“What?” Asuna asked totally confused.
“Well she told me what you did not. You both deserve each other.” Fionn said growling.
“What did I do?” She asked utterly confused.
“Nemain?” He yelled.
“She is inu now.” She said lifting her chin.
“Is she now? Well how very good.” He said feeling his guts twisting badly.
“What the hell did she say?” Asuna demanded.
“That another man raises my daughter yet again!” He snarled at her and spitting in his anger.
Asuna looked away and she was going to attempt to have a talk with “herself” later. She was really starting to really hate Arianrhod Hammel with a passion. She sucked in her breath and somehow her coming here had become a disaster.
“I did not know how to say it. In the other era; Gwydion stopped me from telling you. That is the reason you followed us that day and we were trapped in the far past. I wanted to tell but I did not want to wound yet again. I felt she had done it enough.” She said in a tired voice.
Fionn blinked and this woman was softer. She could be fiercer than even Arianrhod but her heart; her heart was softer. His mouth found hers and it was too needy. He sat behind her and why she was responding she did not know. His fingers dug in her scalp a little and she gasped. He held her and his breathing was rapid.
“We wounded each other. I hurt her badly and she did so to me. It hampers me.” He admitted.
“Stop.” Asuna said in frightened voice.
“I hate what Gwydion did and turned her into. I hate that I cannot get over my anger. I will do so now. You will not keep my child from me and I will not accept any situation that keeps me from your side.” He said harshly and he held her head rigid.
It was scary how calm his voice was and his other hand tore her bodice of her gown. Fionn exposed her sternum and he dug deeply into her skin. She cried out as he did so and his face held concentration. He leached his yoki into the deep wound and she near screaming.
“I will make you a promise to never call you that name again Asuna.” He said softly.
She was breathing too fast as her body accepted his yoki and she began to shake violently.
“Aibhlinn’s last name will be Hammel. She is my daughter. I claim her. You stated that you claim her heir through me. I accept this and any more children I father will be in line for the throne of Tír na nÓg. Swear it.” He said in her ear.
“Hai. I swear it!” Asuna cried out.
“I have given you my mark above even Gwydion Hammel. You wear my mark over your heart. I will marry according to Celtic tradition.” He said decisively.
Asuna was in a tailspin and he was in her. It was claiming. It was deep. It was commitment.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She stood naked before a mirror and she had a small scar on her sternum that appeared almost thunder like. Fionn had appeared in the town house in the middle of the night and he had been over his child’s cradle. She bore a mark on her brow now and Aibhlinn had cried for a little while. Fionn had marked his daughter with a partial moon and slight lightning through it. It looked rune like almost. He had written a small letter and left it. He stated that he would not see her until had worked some things out. Fionn cautioned that he would kill anyone that even stated Aibhlinn was their child. He apologized for hurting his precious little girl but it showed the blood drinking world who had sired her. Asuna was shocked. Admal had been serene and had rocked her back to sleep. Things had gone weird for her but she accepted it. She wanted peace with Fionn as she loved him mightily. She had a feeling that he and Gwydion would try to kill each other later on. Asuna knew she could not handle the idea. She really looked at herself and she was still too thin.
“I will not be able to have any pups till I am healthier.” She commented as Alum walked in.
The healer blushed and he nodded. She sighed and reached for clothes. Kameron was off doing things that her frère loved to do; he was organizing her life in medieval England. She had shared her mind with him and he slipped into his role as if he had never been angry at her. Kamis she loved him she realized. Asuna did feel more at peace with him around and she made mental note to have frère will travel. So she waited on Maec and Tekeshi was a very nice visitor to have. She rekindled a passionate romance with him as well. So it was that she was stuck and she lived as a foreign noble onna with her beloved daughter. Edward had not bothered thus far and she hoped it would stay that way. Asuna still did not know what Admal knew. He kept his mouth shut and he was reading a lot as of late. Their relationship was rock solid again and she was thrilled with it. Admal made her happy in so many ways. So she focused on the amazing men she was graced to know and she began to leave and scout the English countryside to try and do SOMETHING! So now dressed in what the mortals called riding clothes and she was pulling her hair up in an elaborate bun. They had imported a small staff from Flintshire and she had not seen Aldwyn in awhile. Things were just doomed there as far as she was concerned.
“I am going to look for fae.” She said with a positive grin.
“Again?” Alum inquired.
“Hai! You looked so beautiful. I swear you pick such mundane clothes for one so pretty.” She said pulling on veil type hat.
“My lady! I really wish you would stop calling me pretty. Maybe handsome or well looking; but pretty?” He asked.
“You are!” She asked walking by him.
“I am so pretty that you think me not manly?” He demanded.
“You over think.” Asuna smirked.
“Well! I have started to want and it is disturbing Stofan. I do not like to always be submissive.” He said turning red.
“You should not have to. You should do what you and your partner find pleasing as you search for pleasure together. Why should you only do what makes him comfortable?” She asked.
“He blames you.” He said sighing.
“I think perhaps I am a selfish onna. I think his lover gave himself to my whims hoping to help me. I think he can tell himself that I am getting better because I had his kindness on all levels.” She said placing her hand over his.
“What if…what if I do not wish it to be just about physical gratification? What if I wish it to be something more?” Alum asked hoarsely.
“That I leave up to his lover.” Asuna answered and she kissed his ear with such heavy breathing.
“I enjoyed what that Nobu has done to you.” He said shutting his doe eyes.
“Oh you did?” She said breathing.
“I have heard that Lei Jing was like me.” He said delicately.
“You are like all wraiths Alum but you should do what pleases you. If I please you than I should like to do so.” She whispered seductively.
“You make this so hard.” Alum whined and he jerked himself away.
“Why?” Asuna inquired.
“I must return to Astana. Admal is here with your daughter. I will return in two days.” He said suddenly bowing.
She shrugged and she refused let him have an identity crisis. She had been curious and wanted to indulge. He had relented and now it seemed he was reeling. She smiled when she realized she had a little freedom and she ported out. Asuna was in the area in Wales where she had been before with Fionn and Gwydion. Asuna was walking along and she looking around. It was mountainous, water, and some forests. It was stunning really and she was damned if she could feel any fae at all. She stood with her arms crossed as she stared at the woods.
“If you stare long enough love the wee folk may pop up.” Aldwyn said behind her.
“Hello Aldwyn.” Asuna murmured as she turned.
“Hello. Longshanks is pissy. He does not know about us but I will be damned if he is not searching for you. Bloody hell, I think he wants you.” He said running his gloved hand through his curls.
“We are in London. I am not exactly hiding.” She snorted.
“I am thinking he expects you to hide more. Our castle has been searched several times. Seen that ekimmu creature several times. He frightens me.” He admitted.
“You have nothing to fear from Fionn. He is a good man but he is also scary in his power. I have seen him fight.” Asuna agreed.
“When she told me why you shun me; I do not understand.” Aldwyn said softly.
“She can be wicked. I have no idea why she would hurt you as such.” She said angry.
“Because I wanted the bloody truth!” He said almost pleading.
“You and I do not work. We do not work at all and never have.” She said steeling herself.
“How far along were you when you lost my boy?” He asked emotionally.
“You were naming him Brynn for your father. I was expecting him at any point. You knew his mind very as you had connected with him whilst I carried him. You accused me of killing him.” Asuna said softly as the memories wrenched her gut.
“Oh fuck.” He said with wide eyes.
She shut her eyes a moment and she saw him laying his head to her belly as she ran her hands through his curls.
“I cannot decide if I hope he has your hair or mine love. I think your silver hair stunning and Jamie thinks so too but I do like mine.” Aldwyn smirked.
She slapped his head playfully and he grinned at her.
“Percy says I am ugly as sin but I do not think quite ugly as sin. Maybe a toad?” He teased.
“Percy needs a romp with an inu onna to adjust him a little you know. You are beautiful.” Asuna murmured sleepily.
“Milord? Milady? I am sorry te disturb ye but the Wallachian Prince is here and he demands to see ye.” Alice said from the door.
“Why?” He said in sudden anger.
“Aldwyn, I shall handle it.” She said rising.
“It is too much to ask for you to stay here a few days? Is that too much to fucking bloody ask? I should like to spend some time with you before you give birth but you jump every time he shows up!” Aldwyn raged.
“He is my husband!” Asuna stated.
“I told you I would marry you. I want to but you cannot hurt Prince Vlad. Oh no! He has a temper tantrum and wrecks my happiness! Who cares, right? You bloody do not. You care not if I am miserable. I am Aldwyn Dillingham; Duke of bloody Flintshire! I am just a nobody, right?” He snarled.
“I am going Aldwyn. I am not going to be yelled at and you are upsetting Brynn.” She said coldly.
Asuna opened her eyes and shut back the memories viciously. He stared at her and it was obvious that it was painful for him to hear. It was two days later that she had returned. Brynn had died instantly as a Shouten soldier had slipped a katana straight through her abdomen. She had nearly died then too. The worst thing was that Eyal had screamed and yelled at her as well. He had asked her how she could fight that near birth. She had ended up not speaking to him for two months and she had not seen Aldwyn for centuries.
“We were lovers for a time; almost three years. When I told you I was pupped’ you almost wept. You asked me to marry you. I did not.” She said unemotionally.
“So you stayed my mistress at court I suppose. How very good of you. Make a bastard of my son.” He said glowering.
“Brynn would have been raised in Japanese society. Do not dare say he would have been a bastard you conceited shit! I am Japanese. You could not stand that I was so independent. It rankled you that I did not need your title or to become duchess.” She said sneering.
“What happened to my mother and father?” He asked shocked.
“No more. I go.” Asuna stated walking away.
“NO!” He snarled grabbing her and whirling her around.
Aldwyn melded their lips and he kissed her. He was eating at her with such emotion. Her body was ablaze with his thoughts and his mental “suggestions”. She began to feel things and noticed too many similarities with coupling with another man. Aldwyn had her laid back in the grass and he worked the pale blue gown down. Aldwyn sat up enough and jerked his long tunic off and threw the fine linen away. He lifted her up and began to kiss her again as her hands splayed across his bare chest as his body was so hot. Aldwyn moved as he made love. He moved to feel and he acted so inu in some ways and as did she. Her eyes opened and she utterly consumed with his emotions as she allowed it.
“Did not realize.” She gasped out.
His now reddish eyes met her green ones and was bordering on melt down.
“Tell me no now and I will never touch you again.” He said trembling.
Her eyes widened and his words of dismissal ate her alive. She said nothing and Aldwyn gathered her in his arms. She felt herself lifted and her boots were still on as were his. Her dress was pooled around her waist and he lifted her skirts. Aldwyn staggered a short distance and she felt a boulder that dotted the Welsh country side. He grasped his hands in hers as his lips grazed her jaw and throat as Aldwyn moved his organ deep. Her cries were extreme and husky as Asuna’s head fell back. Her booted legs were drawn up as her thighs were creamy to his slightly darker tone. Aldwyn extracted one hand and it fell to her side as she clawed at the rock. He cupped her breast as he sucked and kissed her tit and mound. Asuna slowly pulled her head back up and Aldwyn met her eyes and they were both in a beastly mode. They pressed their foreheads together as the act escalated out of either of their control. Aldwyn snarled softly as he fought a change and she did the same. They did not need to speak; their concentrated looks unfathomable growls and whimpers was speech enough. Asuna buried her free hand into hair and Aldwyn did the same. They were desperate to hold on and she bit her own lip as the orgasm ripped through her. She again threw back her head and screamed a purely inu sound. Aldwyn was startled and he could not hold back and snapped his jaws around her juncture. Slowly they slid down the boulder in a heap of sweat and blood. Aldwyn could not move. He was locked and it never happened to him before. His lover was panting softly and she wrapped her arms around his head and held him to her breast. Still neither said anything as they lay there having experienced something untold.

Edward was furious. His Welsh subjects had boldly lied to him. He came upon Lord Aldwyn and Lady Asuna. They were not in the chastest position. Asuna lifted her head first and Aldwyn moaned in mortification.
“How very interesting. I have been looking for you.” Edward stated from his horse.
“King Edward. As you can see neither of us is clothed properly to attend a king. Would you allow us the privacy?” Asuna asked with narrowed eyes.
“I will be at Ewloe Castle.” He said bowing head.
The mortal was broadcasting his fury and Aldwyn lifted his head.
“I cannot pull out.” He said hoarsely.
“If you allow yourself to calm down then you can ease out slowly.” Asuna explained.
“Okay. I shall try. Bloody hell!” He said blushing.
She kissed his forehead and he groaned in frustration. She stayed calm and soothed him. Asuna was very much knowledgeable of inu men. Finally he fell back and he shut his eyes. Aldwyn looked over at her and he kissed her hand.
“Thank you for not laughing.” He said softly.
“Why would I laugh? We are inu and it is common when there is a profound connection between inu man and his partner. Feel no shame.” She said cupping his cheek.
Aldwyn nodded and he pulled his leggings closed and laced them. He was furious that Longshanks was here yet again. Of course he had made love to her in the open but he would not call it rutting. Something had occurred and she sported a wound on her neck. She made no effort to hide it and he ran a hand through his hair and he felt a fool. Aldwyn watched her as she pulled the pale blue gown on again. He wondered what his pup would have looked like and he viciously pushed the thought away. The last thing he needed to worry on was being a father. Her hair was still up but it was loosened by their passionate act. She looked beautiful and he ached badly. The Welsh noble made himself try to get used to the idea of her being gone. His horse was still near and he walked beside the beautiful black beast. He retrieved his tunic and pulled it over his head. When he righted his clothes and put his belt on; he noticed a transparent being. Aldwyn’s eyes widened as the being had the most sharply pointed ears he had ever seen. The man wanted to be seen it seemed and Asuna had stopped and she saw him too. She took off in run and she stood near an invisible wall.
“Beren! Let me in! Beren!” She screamed.
The man pressed his hand to the barrier and she screamed in frustration. Aldwyn slowly walked to the place as well.
-Can you hear me? - Beren said in the green eyed man’s mind.
“Bloody!” Aldwyn said startled.
“You hear him?” She demanded.
“Yes.” Her Welsh lover said shocked.
-She cannot hear me right now. The veils are closed and I do not know why. Tell her I have not abandoned her. Can you ask her something for me? - The fae prince thought.
Aldwyn nodded and only stared.
-Where is my child? - Beren pathed in his mind.
-I cannot ask her that. I will not! - Aldwyn said looking away.
-Why not? If you hear me than you have my kind in you! Where is my son! I demand to know where my son is! - Beren said looking agitated.
“Beren! Why can I not hear you? Why can you not open Leth’Evana? I need your help! Please!” She actually cried.
“He wishes to know where his son is.” He said softly.
Beren knew as soon as he saw her face. He knew as soon as the tears spilled down her cheeks and her hands shook.
-Why? Why? - He screamed in Aldwyn’s head.
The poor Welsh inu had to hold his head and he looked up with red eyes.
-Bloody fucking hell! Do not scream in my head sir! I did not hurt your son! - He pathed to Beren.
-What happened to my child? - Beren asked touching the barrier.
“Tell him he was still born. I went the circle near here trying to find him. He was small and he was not breathing. I did not feel him for some time. I have no idea of fae pregnancies.” She said looking down.
Aldwyn had to tell the poor sap the news and he hated it. Beren eyes widened and it was obvious that this creature was besotted with her too. Beren’s eyes shut and his hand was pressed to the invisible barrier. Asuna did the same and he really wished he did not have to witness this.
-When I can get this veil open; I wish to see my son. - He pathed to Aldwyn.
“When he opens this bloody door he wants to see his baby.” Aldwyn choked.
She nodded and pressed her forehead to the barrier and she wept. Beren had felt her aura and tried desperately to get to her and he had a strong fae presence on that side. He was curious who the man was but he stepped away and he was gone. Aldwyn held her and they were come upon by Edward again. She looked at him with anguished eyes and he softened his approach.
“Explain while you have kept me waiting.” He said rudely.
She lifted her eyes and Asuna was getting really angry.
“Let me explain something your majesty; I left your household so that I am no longer under hospitality. I do not have to be in England at all. Now if you wish to be rude and stupid than go right ahead. You really do not wish my ire.” Asuna stated with slowly greening eyes.
Edward had an arrogant cock of his brow and she was furious. She casually flung her hand and the boulder that Aldwyn and she had made love against exploded. The large sound made the king’s horse frightened and he was thrown. Aldwyn covered his mouth and she glared at Edward. He stared up at the audacious female with a wry smile.
“Well you knocked me on my ass. How very well done of you.” He said getting up.
Asuna lifted her nose and so did Aldwyn. She jerked her head and she extended her hand and her fang appeared.
“Your majesty leave!” She growled.
“What is wrong?” Longshanks demanded.
“Soten!” She yelled.
Aldwyn pulled his sword and several Soten appeared and she figured it was because of the appearance of Beren. She was mad. She was really fuming and did not hold back. Edward had wanted to see her in battle before and now he would get his chance. Asuna ducked a blow from the fae wraith and she whirled with incredible speed. She spun quickly and took off the head of one and Aldwyn suddenly went to his horse and pulled his bow. She watched in shock as he knocked back several arrows and let them loose. One whirred past her and pierced a Soten straight through the heart and it fell dead. She growled and looked for a leader and saw beating a hasty retreat. She took off after it and Aldwyn pulled back a long arrow and he let it go. Again it went past her and it pinned the Soten to a tree. Asuna looked back at him with new appreciation and Edward looked at the Welsh with a gleam in his eyes. Aldwyn stalked forward and pulled his sword and pressed it to the neck of the wraith.
“Why are you here?”Asuna growled.
“Looking for you!” It laughed.
“Chanak or Bilae?” She demanded.
“Oh would you not want to know! Have not been able to kill the reborn Math but that spider called Kenta?” The male Soten said cruelly.
“No!” She shrieked.
She invaded the wraith’s mind and she could see the lies. This was an elaborate scheme between Bilae, Ayille, and Chanak. Asuna was also devastated to see something about Soul Society. Teru had put to death Kaito’s twins and she was suddenly fist deep in the wraith’s bowels. The empusae queen jerked back her hand and the bastard hung there by the arrow dead. Blood and gore dripped from her hand and Aldwyn could sense the utter despair. Hikari and Kizaki had escaped with Kaito but she could see the idea was to divide the family. Ichigawa’s idea of cohesiveness was scaring the enemy and they had decided to destroy them bit by bit.
“I have to get home.” She said in a strange voice.
“What did you see?” Aldwyn asked in inu.
“A former ally put to death two of children. They are hunting us down.” She said stumbling.
As manipulative as Kaito had been; she had loved his feisty and playful nature. All he had ever wanted was children. Although Hikari had been sired by Kaimei; she had always seen Kaito as her father. Asuna damn fainted and Aldwyn held her up. Edward had watched her kill and destroy with precision and swiftness. Aldwyn Dillingham had shown extraordinary accuracy with a bow and the king knew he was good with a sword.
“Your majesty; we cannot attend you. She has found out that two of her adult children are dead.” Aldwyn stated loudly.
Asuna ported them and Edward was left to stare and begin to form a plan all his own.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They walked into her town house and Admal looked up. She had blood on her and he was up instantly. She looked haunted and Admal looked at Aldwyn.
“You need to move your location. Your enemies have found her.” The Welsh stated.
“Isha! Talk to me honey.” Admal commanded.
“Two Tomoshibi babies. Twins. Dead. Soul Society put them to death.” She said staring out.
“The twins? Oh Isha!” He said holding her and he mouthed to the inu to get his brother.
Aldwyn walked quickly and found the other Shouten in the main parlour. Alum followed him immediately and soon he gave her something to calm her nerves. Kameron stormed in and he looked from man to man. His queen was on the bed and he felt her feelings.
“Why can they not just stop?” He demanded.
“Because she has power and the right to rule and she will stop them if they do not stop her first.” Admal said.
“I secured a residence in Ireland.” He stated flatly.
“Gods Kameron you are a doll. You work miracles.” The Shouten prince said shaking his head.
“I know.” He said almost smugly.
“Well now.” Admal laughed.
“We will move now. Kameron can you grab Asuna?” The blue eyed tr’Awnhi asked.
Immediately Admal walked into the baby’s nursery and Fionn held his daughter and he looked at his brother.
“I have been killing those creatures. They are fae but not.” He said curtly.
“Yes, I just found out. Maec stated that there have been attacks in Hueco Mundo.” He said softly.
“Move her. I will find you other brother. Protect them both.” Fionn commanded.
Admal bowed to him and Fionn neared the younger man and lifted his chin.
“She gave herself to save you. Our mother was like Asuna. She loved her children and she was benevolent. She was loved by the worthless humans as well as the empusae. No matter how brutally you were conceived; she loved you to protect you unto birth.” He stated softly.
“I have always felt dirty. I have embraced my empusae half as much as my Shouten self. My brother Maec sheltered me. Ganek intended to leave me in the circles as sacrifice.” He said stiffly.
Fionn’s brow twitched with the idea of the souls of the ekimmu feeding from his blood as nourishment. He kept his emotions even and stared at him.
“Maec asked Ganek to keep me as a pet. I suppose he was amused by the idea and he imagined Maec would eventually turn me into a sex slave. My first few years I slept in his rooms in a cradle beside his bed. He killed several nurses who he said let me cry too long. When I grew; he had a small bed made for me and I slept near him. I called him father and he let me. I slip sometimes and still call him as such. When it became apparent that I had unique abilities for a Shouten than Ganek found me amusing. He occasionally beat me and Maec came between us. Sanra one night tried to visit my bed chamber and he went insane. He almost killed her. I still remember him ripping her hair out of her head and grabbing a statue and bashing in her head. He screamed over and over that she would not touch me ever. She actually seemed afraid of him when it came to me. When it became apparent that Ganek was getting more and more interested in me. He banished me from court and the orders were to keep moving me. Maec again killed soldiers if they did not follow his orders exactly. I did not see Astana for years at a time. He even banished me to the ‘living plane’ but I missed my brother who fathered me. When I found out that Ganek was dead; I returned home and Maec realized that I was very good at killing as well. I was used as an assassin at first than he made me head of the royal guard. I am still responsible for such to this day. When Sanra came to court; he banished me. Typically he would go mad and now we know why. He never wanted me to see it.” He said in a trance like tone.
“Thank you.” Fionn whispered.
“For what?” Admal asked surprised.
“This Maec will be protected unto my death if necessary. I will really meet him this day.” The ekimmu stated flatly.
Admal nodded and he took Aibhlinn from Fionn. When he looked back; Fionn was gone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFionn appeared in the infant wraith palace and he walked and these infants gave him wide berth. He lifted his chin and strode up to Maec in his throne. The elder Shouten raised a brow at Fionn and gave him an almost amused look. Fionn narrowed his eyes as he stared at the ruby. He extended his finger and pointed to the stone and his eyes met Maec.
“Where did you get the Bloodstone?” He demanded.
“Where I get my trinkets is not your concern ekimmu. I freed you; it does not make me beholden to you.” Maec said caressing his chin with a finger.
Fionn stepped forward and they appeared in Stonehenge and Maec was incensed. His eyes bled silver and Fionn was in more shock.
“Math?” He asked stupidly.
“I am Maec Ruwon tr’Awnhi you stupid ancient! You do not handle me!” He seethed.
“Math! You are Math! How is this? How are you reborn in an infant? You protected him! You protected her son.” Fionn said circling him.
“I see you have been speaking to Admal.” He snorted.
Fionn ripped his shirt and the same tattoo that Admal had the ancient shared. Maec narrowed his eyes and stared at the white haired ekimmu.
“What is the meaning of this?” He demanded.
“Halldora Fardahl was my mother wraith.” He said flatly.
Maec stared at Fionn and he mouthed a name he had not heard in a long time. Memories of her rape made him jerk his head away and he sucked in his breath.
“You saw her violated.” Fionn growled.
“Yes. My father was a monster.” He said frigidly.
“When we fix this situation Math; I will have my revenge.” He said coldly.
“Who is Math?” Maec asked.
“My brother.” Fionn stated.
“Pardon me? I know you not.” The Shouten snorted.
“Math was one of the Four Branches. Born of Taranis and another ancient daemoness named Dôn. Gilfaethwy was the Branch of Fire, Gwydion was the Branch of Winter and Ice, Math was the Branch of Earth and elements, and Arianrhod was the Branch of Air and Storm. I am the master of the lightning and thunder.” He stated factually.
“My abilities with alchemy?” The Shouten king asked.
“You are the master of the elements. You are the supreme sorcerer. You were my half brother.” He said bowing low.
“Holy shit.” Maec said shocked.
“The Bloodstone Ruby was an item of great power for you. You used it to amplify your spells and reactions.” He explained.
“This old thing? I have always liked it but I did not why. One day a traveling caravan came through the living plane and I picked it up. It called to me so I bought it.” He shrugged.
“How can you not remember?” Fionn asked frustrated.
“If I am what you say; does that mean I am ekimmu?” He asked.
“Partially. It means your soul is and your body is that of this pathetic infant.” The lightning ekimmu said raising a brow.
“Pathetic infant? You old ones are so rude. Well big brother…” He started to say.
“Correction; you were my older brother. The Four Branches were quads. You and Gilfaethwy shared the same nourishing organ and Arianrhod and Gwydion’s soul split.” He said rolling his eyes.
“So what are you saying?” He said surprised.
“You had an identical twin and Arianrhod should have been a boy.” He smiled in amusement.
Maec was shocked and he could only be more stunned. This man was his beloved baby brother’s brother as well. He had dropped several bomb shells on him and he stumbled backwards into one of the stones. The stone cried and Maec yelped.
“It is just one of my kind. They are letting us know they are here.” He said sadly.
“The stones cry?” He asked creeped out.
“Well yes. We can inhabit these very stones. It is the only we can taste the real world. It is a cruel existence. I do not look forward to going back.” Fionn stated haunted.
“Why? Why would you go back?” Maec asked horrified.
“Paradox. Asuna opens the prison in her era. I emerge then. You will give me something to make me forget.” He said sighing.
“We wait until we have to! Why should you have to suffer if you do not have to?” The infant asked sickened.
“I do not know.” He said almost hopeful.
“How are you free?” Both men heard from across the henge.
Fionn’s face became hard and he turned. There stood Gwydion in his soul form; whitish blonde hair with green eyes. Fionn stared at him with hate and Maec felt the churning emotions.
“Purely by accident I assure you. What mayhem have you done now?” He asked coldly.
“Samyaza?” Maec whispered.
“No Math. That is Gwydion. He is a manipulating son of bitch who should have taken Arianrhod’s place!” Fionn snarled.
“Trite Fionn really. That is Math? Really?” The prison bound Gwydion asked in anger.
“Yes. Guess what I have found out as well big brother? Your lies to Arianrhod are all known! She knows every last thing! You also kept Nemain from me but she bore me another child. She bore me another child and I am here and you are there.” The thunder ekimmu said cruelly.
“She lives?” He asked stumbling.
“Oh yes. She lives and she is beautiful. Actually more beautiful than before. Fuller breasts and fuller mouth. Stronger too and she does not give a damn you are here.” Fionn said snarling.
Maec could see the bound ekimmu suffered emotionally and Gwydion lifted his head from his chest. He stared at Fionn with such profound hate that it was obvious they were blood enemies.
“She is my wife! She is my soul mate you fucking piece of shit worthless half infant bastard!” Gwydion shrieked.
“Little word of advice big brother; do not be you and you will be just fine.” He snorted.
“I will kill you Fionn. I will find a way to smite you forever. Do you hear me?” He roared.
“I cower Gwydion. I cower for you are there and I am here. Bilae is back you fucking idiot.” He snorted.
“Oh heavens.” He said stepping back.
“Did you enjoy raising my child? Did you enjoy knowing that I treasured her and you stole my rights from me?” Fionn asked hatefully.
“You had no right to fuck my wife. You felt bad after you did what you did every day.” Gwydion scorned.
“He was an innocent! She fell over his body Gwydion! I am no godly creature but I am not evil! What we did was evil! That fae gave up immortality for her. He gave it up and he found her again. He loved her so much that they found each other yet through our father’s interference! You told me he had raped her.” The lightning ekimmu said in a rage.
“You were just as quick to take his life as I was little brother. You hated her love for him as much as I did. He was a fucking fae! How is Bilae back? Tell me!” He snarled.
“She springs us later.” He muttered.
“Arianrhod frees us?” Gwydion asked shocked.
“It was her blood that freed me. Bilae has trapped her here. He is wreaking havoc in the other era. You should remember this conversation. Do something with it you sorry bastard!” He said fixing to leave.
“What year?” He demanded.
“Math?” Fionn demanded.
“The mortal calendar has it at twelve hundred eighty three.” Maec stated softly.
“I shall attempt. I still hate you.” He snapped.
“I will always hate what you turned me into.” Fionn said and he grabbed Math and phased away.
Gwydion was shocked. He was also desperate. If Arianrhod was trapped here and she knew. He might be able to explain. He might be able to do much damage control. He might be able to save his love.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was sleeping and she was in a mist and she looked around. She knew this place and she concentrated.
“Come out Gwydion.” She whispered.
“You know me?” Gwydion asked as he appeared.
“I never asked; can all ekimmu do this or just you?” Asuna asked.
“Only you and I. We were always able to communicate this way.” He said as tears fell down his face.
“You must have sensed me or saw Fionn.” She said matter of factly.
“How can you be this cold?” He asked wanting to touch her.
“A lot has happened. You lied to me from the beginning. You lied about so much.” She said walking around him.
“I am sorry. For me it has not happened.” He said sucking in his breath.
“I know. Before I remembered you have done so many terrible things all in the name of some obsessive love you have for me. I get the impression I was a lot harder and meaner than I am now. I actually do not like who I was. She was a bit of a mean heifer if you ask me.” Asuna said looking at him.
Gwydion did not know what to say. Part of him wanted to hit her for being disrespectful but it was true. He looked down and he was horribly and violently sad.
“I have barely survived but only with the hope of seeing you again.” Gwydion said clenching his fists.
“Why all the lies? Why the evil acts?” Asuna demanded.
“Going mad? I have no good explanation except to say this place would drive anyone insane.” He said touching her.
He cried out and Asuna saw genuiness in his face. There as truth and there was unselfishness in his stare. For once it seemed Gwydion could be totally honest.
“Tell me why you have come here?” She asked getting choked up.
“To tell you that I love you and I accept my sentence. I apparently have learned nothing. The way Fionn speaks; I pick up right where I left off. We continue to be driven apart. I have always loved you and it has been meanly, wholly, selfishly, unselfishly, but you have had my soul since we became people. Truly, I have been a jealous and cruel fool in my quest to cherish but it has made you insane too. Heavens and my soul but I love you so much that I will let you go.” He said trembling all over.
“Gwydion!” Asuna said with an aching throat and she pressed her forehead to his and she began to sob horribly.
“Fionn was right about something; you are more beautiful deirfiúr. May I ask your current life’s name?” He asked shutting his eyes as he felt her hands on his face.
“Asuna.” She whispered.
“Asuna. I think it beautiful. Forgive my insanity someday. I know it and I am. I lost our family and you and I lost my mind. I have no good excuse. I began to lose it long ago.” He said kissing her crest.
“Gwydion Hammel.” She said laying her forehead on his shoulder and sobbed more.
“You can end it for me. You can kill me in this dream world of ours. I ask that if I cannot be with you than allow me the dignity of dying and end my suffering. This will end my acts that cause you pain. Perhaps it will atone for my actions and you may believe me truly. I can find a peace of sorts and I can die happy. I got to see you again.” Gwydion said softly as a tear rolled down his cheek and froze.
“Do not ask me that.” She cried.
“I killed your fae. It is the least I can do deirfiúr. I beg you. I cannot live knowing you no longer love me or you have no wish to be with me.” He said feeling void.
“I give you a son.” She said getting sick to her stomach.
“It will be as nothing. He will exist. He will just return to you later. No worries. I want to do the right thing one time.” The ice ekimmu said getting almost hysterical.
“If I do not free you than…” She started to freak.
“Free Fionn. He will take my place. I change the circumstances but not too much. I love you.” He said shutting his eyes and holding her to him tightly.
Gwydion already felt the blade she carried on her side. He was done and he knew. He had caused too much pain. His beloved would never see him the same way again. The prince of the ekimmu and her former consort grabbed her small dagger and her hand and shoved the blade into his own heart. Asuna did not have intentions but he slowly fell down to his knees.
“I will fade slowly. You will forget me. It will be as you never knew me except in the past. I love you so much deirfiúr. Fionn is a good man and he will carry our kind forward. Let my death bring you both peace. I wish you well. I love you so much.” He said letting his blue eyes shut.
“How can you do this? Gwydion? Gwydion? No! No! Kamis NO! No!” She screamed in her own mind.
Kameron tried to wake her up and she was withering on the bed screaming. The most frightening thing was her hands were covered in blood.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was in a catatonic state and she just stared at the wall in the Irish castle. She was awake but her world was crashing in on her. Gwydion committing suicide, the loss of her son, the twins deaths, and beings stuck in a time she detested; she was cut off from those she loved the most and she truly felt like she was going mad. Admal tried to get her to eat and Kameron held her tightly. No one could get out of her why she had woken up with blood on her hands. Fionn had returned from Hueco Mundo and battle and he saw her lying on the bed staring at the wall. Admal was holding his niece and the ekimmu was confused.
“Why do you lay there?” He demanded.
“She is not answering. She is just laying there.” Admal stated.
“Asuna! Get up now.” Fionn snapped.
She still lay there and the ekimmu grew impatient. He sat down and shook her arm. Fionn laid her flat and stared at her eyes. Somehow he knew and her eyes were so dull.
“How did it happen?” He hissed softly.
“Has always been connected in my dreams.” Asuna whispered.
“That stupid son of a bitch!” He cried.
“He gave himself up so that we could try and be happy!” She said welling up tears.
“Asuna, he was half your soul! I threatened to kill him often but I never did. Why do you think?” He said seething in fury.
“Why?” She said tired.
“Because as much as I hate him; he was part of you! Shit! Tell me Arawn is alive! Please tell me Arawn is alive.” He seethed.
“Hai.” She said sitting up.
“I cannot believe I am saying this; we are going to have to open Annwn and save the stupid bastard. Damn him! This is just like him to go all noble and be the stupidest fucking idiot on the planes!” Fionn growled.
“Do you think he planned this?” Asuna asked wiping her eyes.
“Oh Hades no. Arsehole never thought that far. We need fight Bilae and not pull his fucking stupid hide out of Annwn.” He cursed and he was hopping mad.
“I have never seen you show quite this much emotion.” She said softly.
“Gwydion always makes me react. He is my antithesis. I promise you.” He swore.
She lay back and she sighed. How they were going to open the blasted veils was getting paramount.
“How long do we have before there is no pulling him out?” Asuna asked.
“It depends on Arawn. It depends upon the alignment of planets. It just all depends. He is the master of the deep Asuna. I do not even pretend to know.” He said frustrated.
The room was silent and by one act Gwydion had attempted to act with a good intention but he had thrown their world further into chaos.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna moved swiftly through the forest towards Ewloe Castle and she had been staying away to draw Edward’s attentions away from the Dillingham clan. She had questions for Dylis and Brynnmor though. She had a difficult time sorting through everything and so she decided to make small attainable goals. For now she was going to attempt to break the veil down between Leth’Evana and the corporeal plane. She had a feeling that the Duke and Duchess of Flintshire had bigger secrets than just being inu from Panyu in seclusion. She suspected a huge secret and she stepped into a side door of Ewloe castle. She had known Brynnmor had died at the Battle of Bannockburn in thirteen hundred fourteen. She had no clue what had happened with Dylis. She came into the family portion of the castle and she flared her aura. Aldwyn stepped out and he was surprised to see her. She bowed and she wore a deep black dress. She mourned so she felt black for the moment. She also wore a long veil and it covered her face.
“Aldwyn.” She whispered.

“Asuna.” He said softly.
“I need to speak with your parents.” Asuna said lifting her head.
“Aye. This way.” Aldwyn said lifting his hand.
Asuna pulled the veil up and she stepped into the family room and the two inu youth; Idris and Iefan, younger brothers of Aldwyn were on the floor playing and Dylis was doing some mending and Brynnmor was sitting at his desk doing some lordly duties.
“If I ask frank questions; could they be answered?” Asuna asked.
“Of course.” Brynnmor said looking up.
Aldwyn took a seat and was curious. Asuna sat near him and she looked at Dylis.
“Which of you is actually the inu and which one of you is the fae?” She demanded.
Dylis dropped her mending and Asuna got her answer. She was staring at a she-elf and she was curious how she covered it up.
“Idris and Iefan off to bed boys.” Dylis said in a calm tone.
“Mama!” Idris whined.
“No. I said go to bed.” She said sweetly and the two boys got up and they wanted to know what “fae” was.
When the two youths had climbed the castle stairs; Dylis stared at her and she looked terrified.
“Why do you come here and ask these things?” She asked emotionally.
“Mama?” Aldwyn asked stunned.
“Dylis please. It is alright.” Brynnmor said nearing his wife.
“Lady Dylis; I did not mean to cause you pain! I have been to Leth’Evana.” Asuna said.
“How? How have you been there?” She demanded.
“Beren Elensar? The boy that I lost; it was his son.” She said looking down.
“You carried the prince’s baby?” She asked shocked.
“Hai. I realized there was something different when Aldwyn could hear Beren and I could not.” Asuna stated.
“Beren saw you?” Dylis asked shaking.
“Mama tell me what is wrong?” He asked concerned.
“I left. I saw my Brynnmor and I followed him here. I kept leaving and leaving because I thought him so wonderful and good. I fell so deep in love. I wished to be with him but I had to leave Leth’Evana forever.” She said wiping her eyes.
“You gave up your immortal life.” Asuna realized.
“I gave up my life as fae. I would do so again for Brynnmor.” She said cupping his cheek.
“So I am?” Aldwyn asked stuttering a little.
“You are half fae.” Dylis admitted.
“Oh my God. My God. You knew.” He said looking at her.
-I figured it out when you made love to me. You use fae yoki and do not even realize it.- Asuna pathed.
“Beren will come for you.” She said flatly.
“He and I have had conversation after conversation. I will not be taken anywhere.” She snorted.
“You actually tell him no?” The she-elf stated.
“Hai.” She said nodding and shrugged.
Dylis was stunned and she sat down. Brynnmor sat down by his wife and mate. He had of course known the truth and that was reason he was so secretive. He hated the English king with a passion and he felt things spinning out of control. Again they had begged Aldwyn to just mate a normal dog demon and he had refused. Dylis had wept at her son’s knees and Aldwyn had been angry but he begged them to understand. He had asked his father would anyone but his mother do? Brynnmor knew but he had yelled and snarled that he had no clue what he was getting into. He had thrown books at him and Aldwyn had calmly told them that if Asuna did not want him than he would not mate. Dylis knew what it was. Her son was showing more fae tendencies and her youngest sons showed more canine ones. It broke her heart because Aldwyn had fallen in love with the foreign princess and once the fae gave their love it was for life. It truly broke her heart and now said princess was here outing her so to speak.
“Dylis, how did you leave Leth’Evana?” Asuna asked.
“There is a small veil here in Wales.” She admitted.
“Beren normally can open any he wishes.” The Japanese princess said.
“I will show you where it is.” She said gulping.
Asuna rose and Aldwyn grabbed Asuna’s arm. He was shocked too much for one night and she squeezed his hand. She let go and she followed Dylis. They walked for some time in the night and it was deep in the forest as they traveled.
“Do not step on the sprites.” She called back.
“Dylis, I cannot see them.” Asuna said exasperated.
“Yes you can. You have to try. If you see Beren you can see them.” She said amused.
“How is it you look normal?” The inu asked.
“I cut my ears.” The fae onna admitted.
“You did what?” She asked horrified.
“I would have done anything to be with Brynnmor. I love him that much.” She said stopping and looking at her.
“Beren has done nothing but annoy me.” Asuna snorted.
“Please hear me on this. My people are sensual and loving creatures. We can be warlike but when we love it is obsessive. It is what Aldwyn does. Do you understand?” Dylis said with tears in her eyes.
“Dylis, I am not from this era. Remember the ekimmu? I was Arianrhod Hammel. Remember that drama? Well your son and I do have a relationship at one point and he tells me to get the hell away from him. When I finally do see him again; he learns the empusae abilities he has and he tries to kill me. So I have issues.” She said honestly.
“If you were ekimmu than why in the heavens would Beren love you?” The fae said horrified.
“Because I tried to bury his brother. Stupid me right? I showed his dead brother respect after another ekimmu slit his throat and I tried to bury him. I know now; water burial.” Asuna said rolling her eyes.
“Aldwyn loves an ekimmu?” She said almost in utter disgust.
“I see you hold no love of ekimmu. I do not blame you but I was one. I am sorry but it is truth time. Do you see why I push him away? Oh and by the way; Arianrhod has surfaced since I have been in England. She spilled my secrets to him. So he should hate me really well by now.” She said feeling the bitterness seep into her soul.
“It is there. I cannot return there. I made my choice and I have no idea what yours shall be. I know not why Aldwyn would tell you to go to hell but it must be something terrible you do.” She said coldly.
“I was stabbed before I could birth his son Brynn. You can hate me all you wish but I have tried to do right by him. I do try to have honor Dylis. He demanded I leave him alone and I did. I did not ask Beren’s attentions or Aldwyn’s and I suffer for it. I buried Kair and Brynn and my heart will be ripped to shreds and soon.” She said shutting her eyes and beginning the familiar weeping.
Dylis covered her mouth and she actually wrapped her arms around her and held her as she cried. Aldwyn was too much like her and it was destroying this woman and her son. She only prayed that they could be separated. Too much heartache had already occurred.

Asuna pushed deeper into the forest and it was getting lusher and surreal very slowly. She doubted that Beren knew about that little hole in reality and she snorted at clever Dylis finding a way to be with her lover. She watched her feet and she almost did step on a sprite and she knelt down. She picked up the tiny being.
“I am sorry.” Asuna whispered.
The being eeped and she smiled. The little male turned red and she put him down. Leth’Evana was patrolled regularly and she was careful. Asuna was passing back forth from wishing for death to wanting to fight like hell. Right now she wanted to die. Within an hour she was surrounded by many fae warriors and they had silver spears pointed at her. She had the veil on and she slowly pulled the whole thing off.
“Princess!” One said falling to his knee.
“Hello. I found a way in.” She said sadly.
“Allow me madam to take you to the palace?” The warrior asked.
“Please.” Asuna said nodding.
The fae man with pale blonde took her elbow and she was ported to the palace. Asuna knew her way to Beren’s chambers and she went directly. She found him there and he was pouring over maps with his father.
“Your majesties.” She said curtsying.
Beren stiffened and he turned around. Simyth looked at her kindly and Beren only stared at her.
“You have surmised that one of your kind escaped. She mated a normal youkai and produced half fae pups. My question is why are the veils sealed off?” Asuna asked.
“The portals and veils between planes are being blocked from within each plane. Something within Leth’Evana keeps us locked in.” Simyth explained.
“Well they left the back door cracked.” She said smiling a little.
Beren still said nothing and it was obvious he was affected. She wrung her hands and she sighed.
“I went to the circle because being trapped in this era is making me insane. The man you saw was someone I had hoped to love but it ended miserably. Our son died for me four centuries ago. Aldwyn is intense. Fionn was there and I did not realize. I carried his daughter as well as…I began to have pains and Aibhlinn was turned the wrong way. Maec and Admal came upon me and they helped me. He was not even moving when he was taken from me. I had slipped into a death sleep at that point. I stayed that way for seven weeks.” Asuna said whispered.
“The ekimmu’s child was born but mine was not. Why did you stab me?” Beren finally spoke.
“A being named Chanak took me from battle. He broke my jaw and forced me to drink something.” She said ashamed.
“You said something odd when you attacked me. You said wraith but not. What did you mean?” He asked.
“He brought me to this plane. He said that he was in part fae.” She said flatly.
Beren closed his eyes and Simyth looked angry.
“My grandson was killed when you drank that brew. That creature poisoned you knowing what it would do. I suppose he said ambrosia?” Simyth asked gently.
Tears fell down her face and Beren was sick suddenly. He had to hold a column as he evacuated his stomach.
“I release you from me. I had hoped to make you love me. I fell in love with you when you were in that era. I learned to love your presence. I shall not force myself upon you anymore and cause any more innocents to suffer.” He said trying to stand.
Simyth’s eyes held deep sympathy but his son had already asked for this. He had wept and did not understand why she did not love him. He did not understand why he could not convince her and he had decided to just part ways.
“I have not asked…”She tried to say.
“You did not have to say it. I know you mourn his death but you are more concerned with other matters. I know it. I should like to retrieve him and send him to the afterlife properly.” Beren stated getting some dignity.
“I still need your help Prince Beren.” Asuna said feeling more empty.
“I told you that I would help you and I shall. I honor my words woman. My father honors his words. I am fae and not some low excuse of a being. Now may we retrieve my child?” He demanded.
She had not seen him angry since they had met and it made her worse. Asuna ported them to the spot where she had gotten in and looked around. He nodded and she made sure she did not step on tiny fae people. When they slipped into Wales proper Beren took a deep breath. His brown hair was down and fell around his face and his marks made his eyes stand out. He was so lovely and perfect but pain permeated him now. She barely touched him and she appeared in Hueco Mundo. She was in the cemetery and she began a ferocious shaking and she moved the lid of the sarcophagus and his tiny body was wrapped in fine white linens. Maec had tried to do his best. Beren carefully lifted his body and moved the shroud. Asuna had never seen such a gut wrenching moment and his face crumpled. The fae prince sobbed as he beheld the tiny being he had sired in what he thought was love. He had his markings marking him as an Elensar but his wisps of brown hair had silver. Beren tried to speak and it was broken several times. He sank to his knees and he cared not that he was showing weakness and he screamed to the twilight sky. Beren held his son to his chest and let his anguish out over this innocent lost and his failed union. Asuna stood there with her chin pressed to her chest and she was succumbing to the blackness in her soul. Beren reached up and grabbed her hand and she knew he wished to go. She ported back to the spot to get into Leth’Evana and she tried to follow.
“You said goodbye your way. I do not want you here. This place is for my people only.” He said starting into the forest.
“He was my son too!” Asuna said breaking.
“Really? I am sorry if I do not see it. I am sorry I am bitter. You asked me to leave you alone. I am fae and I only know how to love one way. I was so foolish to think you were different. The only reason you and Nwyvre work is because he gave up Leth’Evana. You would never have survived then. I refuse to give up the afterlife because I love. Now stay out. You are not welcome unless invited.” Beren stated as he held his son to him and he turned.
She watched the fae man walk into the forest and he was gone. Aldwyn was not too far away and he could see her body. She let herself fall to the ground and she sat in the damp ground and sat there. He truly had never seen anyone or anything so broken. He wished he could go to her but Asuna would only do what she always did. Aldwyn slowly stepped back and turned on his heel. She was alone and she was pretty sure that was what they had been planning. She lay down in the grass and she prayed to the Kamis just to get it over with. She shut her eyes and said prayers. She said prayers and just prayed that she was ready for real oblivion.
