Crimson Floods in Place of Old

She was mad as hell. Her mate was manhandling her and she worried about Aldwyn. The wolves looked intent upon shattering the castle’s defenses and she shrieked in fury.
“Put me down!” Asuna yelled.
“Damn it koi you stop!” The hanyou yelled back.
“Aldwyn!” She said clawing at his back.
She looked around and they were at Ewloe. She snorted in fury and she clawed his back badly. Naraku dropped her and she landed on her feet. Asuna’s chest was heaving and she ported. She went to the tear and she slipped into Leth’Evana. She quickly and hurriedly made her way to the palace and she found Beren in his bedroom. He was up when he felt her and he looked at her face.
“Aldwyn is in danger.” She said quickly.
“I will come.” He said flatly.
“I am pregnant.” Asuna stated suddenly.
Beren turned and stared at her as he digested what she said.
“My child too?” He asked.
“This will be a most difficult pregnancy. I did something that Naraku is angry at me for but I think I will be okay between Alum and Airis that I will be fine but who knows? I may be home and Nobu can care for me as well.” She said softly.
“Did you wish this?” Beren asked calmly.
“Hai.” She said staring at his face.
“You do not want me doubting us anymore.” He said in understanding.
“I have come to love you. I was confused when I first met you but being here and with you has been such a blessing. I wish to be a part of your life as screwed up as mine is.” Asuna said admitting deep feelings.
“You have no idea how happy you make me.” He said fighting back emotions.
“I am being a fool and I put my body through too much but I do better this way. I will probably go dormant soon and I should like to have my children that I wish before I do so.” She said quickly.
“I will have to leave Leth’Evana more often then. I shall have to protect our child.” He said letting her see his feelings.
“I have masked her. Naraku will be pissed.” She said flatly.
“Her?” Beren asked surprised.
“Hai.” She nodded.
“Okay. Okay you shall be fine and I shall protect you.” He said sucking in breath.
“It happened with Jouichi.” She said blushing.
“I am sorry. I should have asked. I was mesmerized and out of control. It was such a beautiful moment.” He said blushing too.
“I am addicted.” Asuna smiled a little.
“It is quite consuming yes.” Beren smiled too.
“Okay! Sorry. Less talk and take us to the tear. Naraku is going to be lividly angry.” She sighed.
“He is quite intriguing.” He smiled a little.
“He is dangerous when he wishes it.” She admitted.
Beren quickly dressed and he pulled on his armor. He checked on Eiji and Carys as they slept and their fae nanny kept vigil. Asuna smiled at her and the prince used his own power to port to the tear. They went through quickly and Naraku was there tapping his foot.
“Bout time. Good Kamis you are slow.” He growled.
“You dragged me here.” She snapped.
“Well since you will not listen to me.” Naraku hissed.
“Let us go and I will make certain young Aldwyn will not be harmed.” Beren stated diplomatically.
“Give her some of your blood fae so she will be good and easy.” The hanyou retorted.
Beren hid his smile and the half daemon was snarky. He liked him and his honest ways. Asuna made faces at him and they all went back to New Castle and it was a bloody mess. Asuna moved so quickly that it was dizzying and Naraku made a sound of being angry. She saw the wolves and she saw one on Aldwyn. He was injured but he was fighting back. She growled and snarled in a very canine way as she came upon them. She jerked the wolf off of him and the beast whined as she threw it against the wall. It was a smaller, wild ookami and not a youkai. Aldwyn was torn up but he was ok at the moment as she snarled at the ookami. The beast had the temerity to attack her and she again flung it away. The ningen English were fighting both Scot youkai and Scot mortals. It was insanity and Asuna knew it was only an act of surprise and to get the upper hand. It had the desired effect of surprise but something was buried in her shoulder blade and Asuna’s eyes widened. John de Percy saw her and his angry snarl was sickening and Aldwyn screamed as he dove for the English bastard. The two men fought and blood poured down her back and she could not believe the fucking little prick had followed her up here and two; that he had buried a dagger into her back. She was getting bleary eyed as she stumbled and she was jerked and hauled along.
“Burn the fucking castle te the ground!” Tala snarled out to several elite Stythe.
“Tala?” She asked shocked.
“Ye are goin inte shock. Take her.” The Stythe ruler commanded.
Another Stythe grabbed her and she watched Tala stalked forward and he jerked the mortal Englishman from the clutches of Aldwyn. The wraith did not seem as affected by the medallion around his neck and the red haired Stythe pulled a dirk from his boot and dragged it across his throat. John looked shocked and Tala snarled as he suddenly and without mercy tore his throat out. Aldwyn was shocked stupid as Tala had gore in his mouth and he threw the dead human away. He turned on his boot and stalked away. Aldwyn yelled for Asuna but when the mess cleared even a little; she was gone. A moment later. Naraku and Beren appeared.

Tala stalked his chambers and he was pissed. It had been right before dawn in that blasted plane and he had hurried. He hated leaving a fight but the daemons of that plane had staged an attack against the fucking English. He was pissed and he should have been invited. He had been shocked and infuriated when he had seen the human bury a blade in his queen’s back. It was a right fucking cowardly thing te do and he had no use for a man who couldna be a man. This wasna an ordinary woman and ye faced right proper like and not like a fucking pansy coward but he couldna expect too much from an English shit and especially a mortal one. She woke up and she was in pain. She did not say it but he knew.
“I ripped the fucker’s throat out. He is a dead Anglish.” Tala said flatly.
“You should not have done so.” Asuna said grimacing.
“Pardon me?” He demanded.
“Hai. You should not have killed him.” She sighed.
“Ye are out of yer head if ye think that. He buried a dirk in ye back and expected ye to die.” He snorted.
“He had feelings for one of my mates.” She admitted.
“Which one?” He demanded.
“Admal.” Asuna said staring at his clear blue pools.
“The one that gut handsey with me?” He demanded in a low growl.
“Hai.” She said biting her lip.
“He broke me fucking hand.” He snarled at her.
“You were being an asshole.” She pointed out.
“I was bein an arsehole? Ye come in my territory and expect me te what lassie? I didna know ye were the queen of us all but ye show up and act like ye are my boss.” He said getting in her face.
“Well, I am sort of.” Asuna said wryly.
“Yer a bitch.” Tala snapped.
“Well hai.” She almost laughed.
Tala moved swiftly and his large hand wrapped around her throat but there was no pressure behind it. His fingers were calloused as his touched the soft skin of her neck and he marveled at the silk like texture.
“Ye have a pretty neck.” The wraith ruler said in his raspy growl.
“I do?” She asked breathing barely.
“Aye. Pretty. Soft. Supple. Pale and beautiful.” Tala said very softly with his deep grunts of husk.
She yelped when Tala jerked her to him very close and she could feel his hot breath along her mouth and jaw.
“I’m gude an mad the regular daemons went and killed sum bloody Anglish. That is me job as well.” He growled as those lips moved along her cheek.
“What are you doing Tala?” Asuna asked feeling the heat.
“Trying te not fuck ye senseless.” He said making a loud and snarly sound.
“You are not doing a very good job.” She said only in jest.
She made a slight yelp when he jerked her forward as his hands buried his fingers into her hair.
“Are ye trying te piss me off?” He demanded with feigned coldness.
“No, I am only stating an obvious truth.” Asuna murmured.
Tala gently flung her away and she landed on her back. It hurt but he was on her straddling her waist immediately. She confirmed that Stythe wraiths indeed did not wear anything under their kilts. The look on his face sent chills down her spine and stabs of desire shooting through her groin. Tala was dangerous and unknown but when he was an ally; then holy hell on the enemy. He stared down at her and a salacious half grin.
“I didna wear anything this time.” He stated at her look.
“This time?” She asked almost breathless.
“Aye. Yer kisses make me crazy. I cana think but how I want te kiss ye more.” He said darkly.
“I think you are gunning for something you probably do not want. So be a good wraith and find something to gorge yourself on and let me up.” She said staring at his face.
Asuna let out a tiny bit of a nami and Tala was flung away from her. She got up and the look of pure raw want passed his fierce, sculpted features. She got up and she ran. For once she was trying to be right and proper and she was making him insane. Tala pursued the beautiful creature and she was outside in the dark plane and she was fleeing. His heart pumped his blood and his eyes took on a surreal glow as he pursued her into the forest. She was quick but he was too and soon his hand wrapped around one arm and the back of her neck. He had a fascination with her neck and how lovely it was. He wanted to bury so much of himself against and in her that it was making him mad. The Stythe wraith jerked her with some force against his front and she felt his want. She gasped as she felt his want and he was again growling.
“Ye make me fucking want ye more. Ye make me want te enslave meself te ye.” He said hotly in her ear.
“You do not want this wraith. Tala stop!” She growled out.
“Stop? Ye tell me te stop? Ye show me wut a powerful woman ye are and ye tell me te stop?” He snarled in sudden anger.
“I am not Stythe and I am not wraith.” Asuna whispered out getting bothered.
“No maybe yer not but yer a beautiful warrior goddess.” He said scorching her sensitive ear with his breath.
His hands moved and he ripped the thin gown and the red haired creature breathed in her corporeal body. Asuna gasped at his rough handling and she was getting the idea that Stythe hated weakness of any sort and strong, powerful onna were turn ons. She also got the impression that some onna were relegated to a mundane status and if one was powerful than she was expected to be a warrior. It was double standards for her own sex and he was not forcing himself on her at all but he was manhandling her. He was not hurting her but by the Kamis his touches of want, lust, passion were making her see the stars.
“Fuck!” He snarled as he let her go.
His eyes were glowing completely white as he stared at her with savage desire. He saw her chest; her full breasts were bared and hunger ripped through him.
“What the hell is coming over you?” Asuna asked mystified.
“I am nat a brute. Yer the kind of woman that needs a good fucking but I am the kind of man that will not take till ye want it.” He said staring at her with lust wafting off of him.
“All talk then?” She retorted not thinking.
Tala began a brutal kiss and how he moved with such speed totally shocked her. His mouth commanded and controlled as the press of their solid forms intensified. She whimpered as it drew her in and made her terrified and he released her mouth. She began to shake violently and she was very aware of the power of these beings.
“You are the original wraiths. All wraiths come from your kind.” She said stepping back.
“I suppose. I dona really care.” He said stalking her.
“You are scaring me.” Asuna whispered.
“I’m scaring meself.” He growled.
“Tala stop!” She commanded.
The Stythe ruler stopped and his chest heaved. He wanted to lose control but one did not lose control with Arianrhod Hamel or her future incarnation. You just did not have a casual affair with the fucking queen of their kind. It was unheard of and he wanted her so badly. He also knew that her deepest memories slept. It was the younger version and he was getting himself out of control. He controlled himself well enough not to entirely knock the wind out of her as she ended up on her back and his mouth ate hers. Tala lifted his lips and he released a call that startled her.
“Ye need te go.” He said with his demonically white eyes.
“Tell me exactly what is going on?” She demanded.
“I want ye. I want ye and I am not using gude sense. Get the fuck outta here!” He snarled as he got up.
She covered her naked breasts and he jerked her arms and hands away. The pale skin was illuminated and his own hands reached up and cupped them.
“I want te fill ye. I want te tie ye down so ye have te accept the many joys I want te give ye.” Tala said rasping.
She said nothing unable to say much. His mouth was against her throat and he had told her to leave and now he was kissing her neck. His demanding kisses drove her out of her damn skull and Tala could not fight the allure to sink fangs into flesh. She screamed as the bite was akin to hers. She shut her now green eyes and she cried out as his aggressive lips sucked hard and his throat swallowed. Tala was hit and winded as he took in her liquor. He grasped her shoulders and he was ripping material to get to flesh. The Stythe’s desire to unite in body was stifling any sense he had. Asuna was stunned in an absolute annihilation of senses and of self. The red haired man came off her throat and he snarled out as he stumbled back. Blood dripped down from the wounds in her neck and dripped down her now naked flesh. Tala stumbled on the rocky ground and she stared at him.
“It is done.” She whispered.
“Ye can go home.” He said trying to fight his need.
“No. I cannot.” Asuna said falling to her knees and crawling over to him.
She met his mouth and the force of whatever forced them to not face reality. He was a true night wraith and she was a creature that faced the day and night. She was truly of the other world and he could only ever be of it in the deepest of black. Tala broke the kiss first and he rolled her and she was winded as her back hit the ground hard. He was not gentle and his mouth covered her whole areola. Her green eyes were wide and his fangs were again sunk deeply. Her guttural cry was loud as her head fell back and his blood drinking nature came out. His typical air was not to show his true wraith nature and now he let himself out. He let himself touch as a blood drinker. He allowed himself to experience his world as such. He came off her breast with a soft growl and he could taste the sweet infecting her life force.
“I need te stop.” He said through clenched teeth.
“What? I am not stopping you.” She said startled.
“No ye are not but ye are not begging fer me. I willna take ye without ye wanting me.” Tala stated forcing himself up.
Her mouth dropped open and he was obviously aroused under his kilt and she was naked as hell. Asuna was suddenly mortified and she was embarrassed and humiliated that she had succumbed so easily.
“Hai! As you wish.” She said mortified with herself.
“It would be another way te feed yerself. It would not be a true connection and I don’t fuck te just fuck!” He said coldly.
“Good to know Tala. I am glad you think of me as a whore!” She snarled and she pulled her ripped garment around her.
“I did not say that woman!” He growled out in tremendous fury.
“You did not have to.” She said and she ported.
She was truly mortified with herself for allowing the lust to get the better of her. This man intrigued her badly but she got intrigued often. She also stayed with some more often than others. She chose the higher road and she slipped through the caverns and into the Stythe’s “in between” and away from Tala Lachie. He was dangerous in so many ways and his manner of wraith truly frightened the hell out of her.

She appeared in the aftermath of New Castle and it was devastating. She grabbed a clean night gown and she was grabbed by Admal himself. His face held worry and shock and she stared at him stunned. He saw the bite on her neck and his jaw dropped.
“What happened?” Admal demanded shaking.
“The Scots attacked. I was in the melee.” Asuna said looking around.
“Who bit you?” He demanded.
“The Stythe leader. He protected me in the battle but he stopped an attack on me.” She murmured.
“He also bit the hell out of you! How dare his bite leave a mark!” He said in anger.
“Do not start Admal.” She said growling.
“Oh whatever.” He said walking away from her to assess the battle after effects.
Admal walked into the court yard and he saw the man that he had fornicated with. His eyes were wide and he was actually in shock by the scene. The young man was quite dead with his throat having been torn open. It was scene that he repeated too often but it was almost sickening to see someone he had been intimate with torn up.
“You cared about him?” Asuna demanded behind him.
“Of course not.” He growled at her.
“He buried a dagger in my shoulder and told me before that he would have you again.” She said in anger.
“He deserved to be punished but this…I do not know.” He said stumbling up.
“Admal! Did you care for him?” She asked feeling sick.
“No Isha! I did not know him well at all but to sleep with him and then see him dead. It is disconcerting, okay? I never copulate with my food.” He said in a tone.
“I see.” She said in slightly softer tone.
Tala had followed her and he was hearing this bastard. He had wanted to demand the anger and embarrassment away but now this other wraith was here and he was one of those clans. His face twisted in anger and he heard the other man.
“This place. I am sick of it here. Two weeks Admal and then Naraku can try to open Annwn and pull that idiot Gwydion back.” She said flatly.
“Gwydion? Do you love him still?” Admal asked calmly.
“I never stopped; I was just so angry at his lies. He is an asshole I guess like I am.” She sighed as she stared at the dead body.
Asuna thought about it and she did not want the issue with Edward and she suddenly let out her Dakkasou in large amounts and Admal looked green himself. She quickly walked him away and sighed.
“He was a ningen noble and his death would not be well received. With his throat torn out; it would be known that one of us did it. I covered our tracks.” She said softly as they walked away.
“I swear your toxin is wretched.” He said shuddering.
“Quit being such a fucking girl.” Tala said coming from behind a stone pillar.
“Who the hell are you to lecture to me Stythe?” Admal said narrowing his eyes.
“Tala?” Asuna asked surprised.
“We were not done talking lassie. Ye ran off te fast.” He said in his burr.
“You bit her? You bit her for what reason?” The blue eyed Shouten asked in hate.
“I don’t owe ye any explanations little boy but yer boyfriend buried a dirk in her back like a pansy ass fucking little coward.” He said in mocking.
“How dare you!” Admal snarled and he punched Tala.
Asuna tried to get in between them and she was slammed back. Tala punched Admal and her tr’Awnhi mate was sprawled out. She had not seen his fist connect with him and stalked the black haired wraith.
“Stop! Tala stop!” She said crawling in front of Admal.
“Get away from him.” He snarled.
“We are not your enemies!” She screamed at the Stythe.
“Maybe yer not but this pretty half man is! Ye want a piece little man? Come at me lass.” He taunted Admal.
“I come at you Stythe and you may not live!” Admal said getting up.
“Sure thing lassie.” He smirked meanly.
Admal lost his head and he was on the Stythe instantly. She watched two extremely powerful wraith fight and punch like two small little boys. Tala was vicious and Admal jerked on her yoki and she gasped in shock. He shoved a heated nami at Tala and the wraith flashed in and out to avoid the attack and his attack was unseen and Admal was thrown backwards some ten feet. Blood poured from his chest and his lips were blue.
“Ye wanna fuck with me boy?” Tala snarled across the small courtyard.
The Shouten prince got up and he pulled two small swords from his sides and Tala pulled his sword as well. Admal’s were curved like many in Asia in were and Tala’s was a large broadsword. The ensuing battle between the two men was awe inspiring and Asuna had never truly seen Admal fight like this. Her eyes were wide and her lover was amazing as he did serious damage to the other breed of wraith. Tala apparently had a manner of shoki like the Shouten did but Admal refused to succumb. Tala flashed and he appeared as if in negative like a photograph and she slid between the fight.
“NO!” She screamed.
“Get out te way!” He roared.
“Yes Isha! Get out of the way!” Admal yelled.
“You will kill him! I see it.” She said in a panic.
“He cana have ye.” Tala said staring at Admal with no respect.
“What do you mean cannot have her Stythe? I already do! She is mated to me as well as my brother; the King of the Shouten. Now you would learn to know your betters!” He said meanly.
“Ye snarky little bitch! I will fucking pound ye arse and not a way ye will like!” The red headed wraith said cruelly.
“Oh I am afraid.” The Shouten prince said snarling.
“Ye better watch it little girl. I can blend better then ye can. Ye would never know I was there.” Tala threatened.
“Tala stop!” Asuna snarled at him.
He stared at her and he felt the sun near. He roared in anger and he faded out. His mode of transport was more phantom like and she stared at Admal. She ported them both to Hueco Mundo. Admal was furious. He shoved her down and they were in Maec’s room. She screamed as he phased his clothes and shoved himself into her.
“This is what he wants. He wants you like this but you want us. You want me. You want me!” He snarled in her face.
Her mate was now the jealous one and he took her harshly and made her suddenly wither as he joined her soul. Maec heard the commotion and he found his wife on the floor of his royal bed chamber withering as another wraith copulated with her in soul.
“Very nice Admal.” He whispered loving the scene.
“Maec!” She cried.
“Yes my darling?” He asked sitting.
“Alum! Admal injured.” She gasped and then screamed.
“Apparently not so injured that he cannot use you well.” Maec snorted in amusement.
“Please!” She cried.
“Yes, yes. Make her scream long and loud Admal. We have foreign wraths here.” He said smirking nastily.
Maec left and he was quick to get his healer brother. Alum returned with his king quickly and he saw the woman he was falling for and she was shaking terribly and Admal was on all fours shaking terribly.
“Admal!” Alum cried softly as he knelt near his brother.
“Their toxin is weird.” He said weakly.
“Fuck. What in the hell did he tangle with?” Maec demanded.
“Stythe.” Asuna said trembling from the violent coupling but Admal was not well.
“Admal?” The Shouten asked concerned.
“Not fucking night wraith is going to kill me! He wanted her!” He said growling.
“So?” His elder brother asked confused.
“She gets to be surly with us and another manner of wraith take her? Hell no! He fed from her and made it mark!” His younger brother said in fury.
“Isha?” Maec asked softly.
“He killed a would be killer and he was hungry. I offered it.” She said defensively.
“A biting mark does not go that deep!” Maec snarled.
“Stop this! You will get well and if need be then we shall get a sample of this toxin? Alum do we need it?” Asuna asked.
“I should like it yes.” He nodded fully concerned.
Admal began to shake violently and Alum could see a type of hiebie but more potent and quicker acting. Maec picked up Admal and put him on his bed and Admal’s veins were showing in his face in a blackish color.
“Do not let that bastard infect our Isha!” He said gasping.
“I promise.” He swore softly.
Maec stepped back and he was now scared. His baby brother did not look well at all and Maec grabbed a dressing gown for his wife and he phased them to the castle that was near ruined.
“Where Isha?” He snorted in anger.
“Maec! Tala is not evil. His ways are just not Shouten ways.” Asuna snapped.
“Take me to him Isha!” Maec snarled suddenly.
She ported to the in between and she guided him through the long caverns. It was just past dawn on the living plane and they stepped out into permanent night. Maec’s eyes widened and he looked around. The world looked black as death but when the moon illuminated then it appeared rather beautiful. Maec and Asuna were surrounded within moments. Tala showed up and shoved his way through several of his own.
“What are ye doing here?” Tala roared.
“You will speak to me!” Maec said getting instantly angry.
“Who the fuck are ye?” The red haired wraith asked in anger.
“My brother just fought you and your toxin is killing him! You will provide me some of it now or I will make you regret it.” The Shouten king said calmly.
“Ye think I fear ye? Are ye any better than the brat?” The Stythe asked in contempt.
Maec lost his temper and he looked at Admal more as a son in some ways and Tala was suddenly knocked on his ass and he was surprised. Maec Ruwon tr’Awnhi was no weak Shouten and he stared down at him in fury.
“I raised my own brother you putrid fuck and I will kill you in order to save him! Your choice!” He snarled over Tala.
“Who are ye to show up me lands you fucking prick? Yer balls are awful big little man.” The red haired wraith said suddenly digging into Maec’s leg.
Maec buckled but he grabbed Tala’s throat and the ensuing snarling mass of males was horrifying. Asuna screamed at them both to stop but Maec managed to come out on the top and he strangled Tala. The other Stythe moved to save their ruler and she shrieked in fury. She let loose low power namis from her hands and Maec was thrown off of her and he looked at her in utter anger.
“Isha!” He screamed at her.
“I said stop Maec! Tala you will give him your toxin or I will break your hand myself! Do you hear me? DO you hear me?” She snarled.
Tala hissed in anger and Maec pulled out a heavy glass bowl attached to his belt. The Stythe let his toxin leak into the small vessel and Maec stood up in a huff. He stalked towards the in between and Asuna stared at Tala in fury. He went to say something and she put a finger up in warning. He growled lower and she barely heard it. He spoke Gaelic and it was dangerous. He told her to watch her back. She stared at him in anger and he was gone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alum managed to work with the noxious substance and it was a way more potent form of hiebie and deadlier. Alum did not think it possible and the toxin destroyed nerves at a frightening pace and Admal was going to be abed some time. He was able to create anti-venom but his younger sibling was laid up and white as a ghost. Maec had been instrumental in creating the concoction to save Admal’s life and he had held his head up himself. Asuna and Maec had gotten into a screaming fit and she had lost her head. She had left in rage after she had seen to Admal and his younger brother had actually begged her to stay. Alum had been horrified that Admal had begged and she had summarily dismissed him. It did not sit right with the healer and he made certain that Admal was comfortable and he stood up.
“Please do not leave.” Admal said weakly.
“Brother, I have a few patients right now.” Alum said softly.
“I hate it here Alum. I wish to go home. I wish you to come with me.” He said softly.
“Why? Am I not…I am not there?” The healer asked stunned.
Admal said nothing and his brother looked away and then back at him.
“When?” He asked.
“Ekimmu.” He said breathing in harshly.
“An old one kills me? How?” He asked stunned.
“Freakishly similar to this.” He said meeting his eyes.
“I see. I will think to go.” Alum said.
Admal nodded and he hated being weak and tired. The bastard Tala could not be trusted in his opinion. The bastard was too easily back and forth. He had might to be sure and their version of hiebie was wretched. He had felt fine at first then he thought he was dying for certain. Isha had been in a rage and in partly at him. She had said she had wanted him to stop fighting. She had been very adamant that nothing had occurred between her and that rat bastard as she called him and he growled at her. He did not believe her. Perhaps it was the idea that this Tala wanted her so badly but held himself back for something that would be deeper. That made him angry. The idea that the bastard was something special; it made him sick. When he got better and he would; Tala would be at the end of his claws, swords, or hell a pike for all he cared.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She appeared in the in between yet again in so many hours and Tala it seemed expected her. She was slammed with some force against the rock wall and she brought her knee up. Tala roared in agony and she grabbed his male parts and she sneered at him.
“How dare you attempt to kill him and then threaten me! Admal tr’Awnhi is one of the most powerful Shouten there is and I will skewer you and make you an example! Do you understand?” Asuna snarled almost too softly.
“I told ye if ye grabbed me balls that ye would have te marry me.” He tried to say and she slapped him hard.
Tala jerked her to him and the clash of lips was violent. She snarled and growled as he took. His groin was in absolute pain but her anger was perfect. The Stythe leader pinned her and she was being pressed hard against a jagged rock. She yelped and Tala pulled her flush to him and held her face in his hand.
“You are more than a normal Stythe.” She said with trembling.
“I am not important.” He said again slamming her against the rock.
Asuna released a small cry as his cock slid home and she stared in horror and utter torture. Tala hollowed his cheeks and made a face that spoke volumes.
“Jest a second. Fuck!” He hissed out as his mind was shutting down now.
“Oh Kamis.” Asuna managed to speak and her voice broke.
“I canna stop. I canna stop this. I want ye so bad.” He said mumbling as he began to move his large self.
She released broken cries and his mouth kissed mouth, jaw and throat as he took in her. The mixed inu onna was stretched painfully but he moved and her world erupted into absolute bliss. Her hands shook terribly as she lifted her hands and thread in his hair and he growled as the impending kiss was hard but it was heady. Tala was falling so fast that he was losing his good sense. He was losing it for a woman that he knew nothing about except she was reborn and her kisses made him a peon. He also knew that if his cock was grabbed any tighter that he would snarl and whine like a little girl. Asuna made beyond obscene noises as she was decimated. His aura was stiflingly strong and it made her weak in her knees and Tala was shaking out of a necessity to try and control which he did not have. The woman he was maddened by was incoherent as he stole absolute perfection. Asuna kissed to destruction as he moved hard and with heady need. The intense session of branding was losing any and all sense as Tala begged in his native tongue for some manner of absolution. Asuna spied his face and it looked pained as he stole her. She felt some claws break as she ripped at him and bloodied her hands. Tala breathed out harshly as pain mingled with the awesome pleasure. Somehow the end was nearing and she stopped making any noises until her screams rent the air and his body was catapulted into the beyond. His wraith call was frightening as he could not hold them up and Tala collapsed as his cock twitched inside of her as her walls choked him almost. Asuna stared out dully and it had dragged forth from her a primitive and insane response. The way she was arranged meant that she could not move and the Stythe wraith was breathing through his nose. Her body was sore and she was in pain.
“Never attack Shouten again. If it as you say then they were Stythe eons ago.” She said in a hoarse voice.
“His boyfriend tried te kill ye!” Tala said in a nasty tone.
“It was not his boyfriend Tala! Admal is half incubus! What do you expect him to do? Hell what do I expect him to do? I cannot be here. You are sin and not what I need.” She said managing to shove him off.
“Bilae was me father.” He said out loud.
She jerked her head and stared at him in horror and shock.
“It’s not like I knew him. I hated his memory and I sure as fuck hated what he did. Arianrhod Hammel was the queen and he raped women and men whenever it pleased him te do so. So if yer thinking I owe him something then yer fucked in the head. So this lass boy’s ways are a little too much like Bilae fer me.” He said in severe temper.
“I had not realized he sired any children!” She said shocked.
“He tried te worm his way into Annwn. It didna work as me mum stopped it but he raped her and left her fer dead. He raped the queen of the Stythe. So befer ye run yer judgments on us! She died with me as I was a bairn. So there!” He snarled at her.
She was stunned and she forced herself to stand and she was raw. She was utterly raw and he stared at her in anger. Tala moved fast and she was pinned face first and she was angry.
“I want ye. I donna want this te be something dirty. Ye tell him that I want ye and I will have ye.” He said in a nasty voice.
“Oh? Well King Edward tells me the same thing.” She retorted in anger.
“I am not the fucking Anglish. I’m also like ye.” He snarled in her ear.
“Tala get off of me!” She said getting angrier.
Asuna felt the pressure off and she looked back and he was gone. Her body was battered and she ported out to Ewloe. She called Mary to have a bath drawn and she knew she would have questions soon. She was worried about Admal and she intended to talk to him.

Naraku was furious and she had just taken off like normal. He had felt her aura and he bound up the steps followed by Beren. The fae prince was disturbed and what they found was horrifying. Asuna was in a large copper tub and she was unconscious. The water was stained red and Beren grew sick. Naraku made a sound and he picked her soaked body up and laid her on the bed. She was bleeding rather heavily but he felt his child. He felt the kumo child. He even felt the fae child.
“She is miscarrying but I still feel strong auras.” He said surprised.
“What do you mean?” Beren asked worried.
“Whatever this is; our children are fine for now.” Naraku said lifting her up.
“Airis can help her.” The fae prince said softly.
“Fine! Fine! I need to check in with Maec as it is. Take her and I will come soon.” The hanyou commanded.
Beren hid his smile and he picked her up. He felt his child within her and it made him so full of happiness. He never realized that the idea of having a family would bring him joy. The fae prince ported through the mists and he appeared at the tear. He then proceeded to take her to Leth’Evana. Nwyvre was there and he would be anxious to see her. Simyth had been very demanding of his time and he could see that his sire had adored his nephew. He laid her on his bed as he came into the palace and she woke up a little.
“Cramps.” She grunted.
“You are miscarrying but the half daemon swears my child and his are well.” He said softly.
“Oh thank Kamis! Thank Kamis!” She cried out in relief.
“What?” Her fae mate asked surprised.
“Our daughter is okay! Thank Kamis.” She said shutting her eyes feeling relief.
“I do not understand. You are happy?” Beren asked.
“I am happy she is okay as well the other two. I am happy.” Asuna murmured with relief.
“What is it you do not say wife? Why would this relieve you?” He asked concerned.
“No matter. I am okay and she is okay. How is Eiji?” She asked reaching up to hold his face.
“Asuna, I am worried. You are bruised and battered. You are…” Her fae said softly.
She leaned up and kissed his mouth softly and Beren gave up. It really fell into his conscious that she had surrendered to his feelings and she had truly given him something of her. His love was communicated immediately and she moaned as he softly but deeply “spoke” his emotion. He did not speak his feelings as freely so much as he showed them and Asuna accepted them without shame or regret. The two good things that had come out of this past were Beren and Aldwyn. He slowly pulled back and stared at her face.
“They are well and I am okay. So I shall be happy.” She said kissing his nose.
“I love you.” Beren whispered.
“I love you too my man elf.” Asuna smiled.
Her nickname of him was silly but it was affectionate so he did not object. Airis came in and he stood up. The fae healer was so gentle and so sweet.
“Hello princess.” Airis Ludok said sweetly.
“Hello Airis.” She said cramping again.
“I shall check her my prince. Your sire is asking after you.” The healer said as he pressed hands on her stomach.
Beren nodded and he stepped out as the white haired fae checked her and she was uncomfortable.
“Tell me.” He said calmly.
“The current king of England has taken a fancy to me. He has access to things that subdue me. How can he do that Airis?” Asuna asked.
“You carry fae. You also bear an ekimmu soul so in effect you are truly ekimmu. Any number of magical totems can be used to subdue our kinds. Fae developed weapons against the ekimmu and vice versa for the ekimmu. So if this mortal has his hands on any of these items then he is subduing you through them.” He explained.
“So it is the hanyou?” she asked softly.
“Yes. The half beings are always weaker than a full daemon. We do not think of ourselves as daemons but by your kind’s definitions; we are.” Airis chuckled.
She smiled at his personalable nature and she missed Nobu acutely.
“Who is Nobu?” He asked as he worked a pestle.
“One of my cherished mates. He is a doctor and very well known in the youkai world.” She stated.
“I see. I love to know other healers. Perhaps when you return; I will accompany my prince into your plane occasionally to learn more.” He said still working.
“I have two children who are doctors as well. They are his children. Nanami and Shinobu.” She stated in conversation.
“They sound intriguing. I should really enjoy meeting them. I am relieved for you that this does not sadden you. I am assuming this mortal coerced you into this act?” Airis asked.
“Yes. Alum tr’Awnhi calls it rape.” Asuna said sighing.
“It is a form of forced seduction. It is insidious and mean.” He replied.
“So you agree with Alum.” She stated.
“Yes I suppose I do.” He nodded.
“I like your hair down by the way.” She stated off topic to lighten the mood.
“Well thank you my princess.” He said still working.
He was just easy going and Asuna was seeing someone that could be a great friend and possibly someone to introduce to Nanami. She knew her child and she was too much like her. A small group of men that could love and understand were a boon to any succubus onna. Asuna smiled and acted like her own sire at the moment. She was making plans to introduce the fae healer to her doctor daughter.

She was abed in Ewloe and Naraku was near. He was unsure of exactly what happened and Jouichi stood by. He knew but said nothing. Naraku absolutely hated the loyalty the kumo lord had to his mate but the ningen part viciously suppressed the kumo part. The festival drew closer and he knew exactly what he planned to do. Fionn and he had planned it carefully. Fionn planned to knock Gwydion around for his stupidity and Maec was needed to say some manner of alchemic spell. It was all so complicated. Arawn would call forth the spirit and Math would cement it with a body. Gwydion would be free of Terre de Brume. They would also “go back” right after Bilae had sent Asuna back. This all would have occurred but the future would have been erased they hoped. Hai, if they did it carefully then it would work. It was the early evening and Aldwyn brought a meal to Asuna and Naraku was startled to see a wraith. Asuna began growling terribly and Jouichi moved to stand in front of her.
“Why have ye not returned?” Tala demanded.
“She suffered a miscarriage wraith!” Aldwyn hissed.
“Tis true?” The Stythe demanded.
Asuna stared at him and she was antsy. She was in a way grateful for the brutal coupling for it rid her of a problem. She hated herself for the notion but she did not wished to be tied to Edward Longshanks at all.
“It is true Tala. Is there some change?” She asked calmly.
“I had things te say te ye.” He said ignoring all others.
“You may say them in front of these men. I cherish them and if you are an ally then you must learn to deal with my family.” She said calmly.
“What I have te say is not fer their ears woman!” Tala said in anger.
“Who do you think you are wraith?” Naraku asked in a cold voice.
“I know ye are Arawn. I saw ye come through and so I know ye are strong but I am not a no one! I want te speak with my queen alone!” He said in a nasty tone.
“Please allow me to speak with him alone.” Asuna said softly.
“Mitsukai, we shall be right outside. Just path.” Jouichi said just as softly.
“Hai.” She nodded.
Naraku stared at her in a fury and she nodded to him. Aldwyn was not happy but he was dragged outside by Jouichi. Tala stared and he was agitated.
“Speak.” She said meeting his pale eyes.
“I hurt ye?” He demanded.
“No. You helped me actually.” Asuna murmured.
“Ye had a bairn and ye miscarry? How is that helping ye?” Tala asked in a growl.
“Edward Longshanks has access to totems that he used to subdue me. He met me when I was a very young onna. I was here before when I was barely past a century. I am now past five but for him it has been a decade. He had a suspicion what I was but I confirmed I was not mortal. It was a mistake that I am regretting terribly. The youkai in Scotland and the mortals are fighting for their freedom from him and he uses this information to lash out. He took me and I carried a halfling. Our encounter I believe relieved me of it. I typically want my pups but this time I did not. I did not want his child because I did not wish for any tie to the son of a bitch!” She growled.
“A fucking mortal touched ye? Longshanks fucking touched ye?” He snarled.
“He did. I hate him and I hate him for his arrogance to think to use me and my body. I am my own onna and I do as I wish.” Asuna said flatly.
“It is why I want ye so badly.” Tala admitted.
“Because I am what Tala?” She asked in sudden anger.
“Strong. Sure. Decisive. Hating this bastard. Helping me Scots. Defending what is right. I know ye may think me a bastard and maybe I am but I willna touch ye again. I dona apologize often and that is why I came. I came te tell ye I’m sorry fer the way I took ye.” He said with a stony glare.
“I wanted you too but I wanted to honor those I love more.” Asuna stated.
“I can love ye. I want te.” He said hard.
“Why?” She asked staring at him.
“Because I can. It doesna matter right now. I have te help ye get back te wherever ye have te go. I dona have to like the boy loving girly man.” He growled out.
Asuna’s face blanched at the description of Admal and when she looked back; he was gone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Edward was pissed. New Castle was in shambles and his newfound ally in John de Percy was missing. He was certain the boy was dead but there was not a trace of the boy. There was no proof of anything and now she was nowhere to be found. His forces had been obliterated and he was furious. He was brooding in his private chambers and he was fingering the ancient pendant that he had uncovered.
“Ye fucking bastard.” He heard from across the room.
“Who are you?” Edward asked surprised.
“A nightmare you fucking Anglish bastard! Ye raped her?” Tala asked coming from the shadows.
Before him stood an obviously Scots daemon. The man was pale and his veins were visible in the candle light and his eyes were so pale blue that they looked unreal. His handsome face had faint scars from battle and he wore a navy tartan with a cream colored tunic shirt underneath. Brown boots adorned his legs up to his knees and he looked like a cold warrior. His bright red hair was long and wild looking as he stared at the English king.
“Ye couldna convince her te fuck ye any other way than te use some magic? Ye fucking Anglish rapist! Ye use her the way ye use the Scots!” The Stythe said stalking closer.
“She is a succubus! How is it rape when I gave her what she needed and craved. I did her a favor you barbarian!” The English king snarled at the foreign man.
“I rid her of yer babe. She didna want it. She didna want the bastard bairn of the murdering piece of shit Anglish king!” Tala taunted.
Edward’s face clouded in fury and he stood up but Tala had him on the floor in a second. His hand was around his neck and he was squeezing hard and his fangs became visible in his sneer.
“I ought to rip out yer bloody throat ye fucking shit! Ye dona touch me queen. Ye dona touch the soul of the goddess queen of the Celt peoples! Yer a nobody. Yer a bloody mortal. Ye had no right!” He said ripping the totem from Edward’s hand.
Tala felt the drain but he crushed the stone with his bare hand. It was dust and he let it slip between his fingers. He grew angry and Edward tried to fight but the Stythe hated the English like every other self respecting Scots did. He used all his power and he punched him in the cheek. Edward screamed and blood gushed from his nose and it was horrible the damage that Tala did. The Stythe ruler stood up and he began to search and he found a small chest of things. He saw the ancient Gaelic and he grew incensed.

“Where did ye find this?” He screamed at the bloodied king.
“One of my bishops found it at the base of one of the stones.” Edward actually whimpered.
“I will tell ye human that ye are lucky this night; ye will live.” Tala said simply disappearing.
It all happened so fast and Edward was in such terrible pain that he swore he was dying. His servants soon came in and they were horrified and the English king was told that his cheek and orbit was broken on his left side.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tala was staring at the ancient magical items and he was sick to realize what it was his birth father had done. They must have buried these chests to strengthen the stones to keep the ekimmu in. He shook his head and the power off of the totems was horrific enough to even affect him. He appeared at Ewloe and he had the chest sealed with dampening auras. He dropped it in front of Arawn and Asuna and she was shocked.
“He found the fucking things at the stones. The totems are used te keep the stones like a gate it seems. Bilae used these te keep the gates locked.” Tala said in disgust.
“These items were used to keep the ekimmu in and the veils closed?” She demanded.
“I believe so. If enough of these things are around then maybe he is keeping locked here fer a reason. Maybe this era has the most totems and he can control it better.” The Stythe reasoned.
“Son of a bitch! He is using trinkets to keep the veils sealed and us here! Edward dug up our way to break open the veils?” Asuna asked astonished.
“It would seem so. Annwn still need te be opened but ye found yer way to thin the veils. Lughnasadh is a week away and so I will have me Stythe start digging up some of these chests. Yer pretty boy in that other place can make them benign and reverse the magics and ye can go home and leave me the fuck alone.” Tala stated in an angry tone.
“How did you get these away from Edward?” She asked.
“I broke his fucking face.” He said and he was gone.
Asuna stared at the chest and she was almost giddy. She looked at Naraku and she actually jumped up and she squealed in happiness. He too was happy but the wraith bothered him. He had true darkness in him but also a good streak. Naraku understood that manner of being and he wondered at this Tala. She grabbed the chest and she ported out to Hueco Mundo and she moved quickly. She came into Maec’s rooms and he was sitting at his desk of all places and he seemed to work at an alchemic formula.
“The English king’s cache of trinkets is actually totems. They are buried all around the stones and other places of power. The affect fae and ekimmu alike. They affected me and Edward used them to subdue me.” She explained.
“Truly? Let me see them!” He said standing.
“Maec we both bear ekimmu souls. They subdue. I tell you they drain yoki.” She said flatly.
“Open it Isha. I am not happy with you right now.” He growled.
“Oh I am so sorry that I do not bend over and kiss your ass!” She said letting her yoki dagger appear.
“When I am done I should like you bending over and kissing my ass my dear. That sounds quite intriguing.” Maec retorted.
She snorted and she broke the aura and she carefully opened the chest. She stepped back and the magics were ungodly powerful. Maec was astonished and his eyes lit up at the power emanating from the chest.
“You say these things are buried all over the place?” He asked with almost a lustful tone.
“Down boy. Shit. Almost sounds like you wish to make love to it. Should you like to be alone with the magic items? Should you like to fondle and caress them?” Asuna asked sarcastically.
“You are a bitch.” He said growling.
“Uh huh. So why you look and get all gooey eyed; I shall talk to Admal.” She said.
“No. I want you to bend over and kiss my ass.” Maec said smirking.
Asuna waved the chest closed and she moved closer to him. She got behind him and undid his bottoms of black linen and she roughly forced his cheeks apart. Maec had been teasing rather lewdly but she suddenly began to thrust her tongue and he actually whimpered.
“You are so evil. I love you my wife. I love you.” He whispered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna walked to Admal’s room and he was slowly on the mend and she slipped in quietly. He was awake and he looked over at her. He stared at her dully and she sighed.
“I have been so horribly unfair to you. I have been wrong on so many levels. You and I are so much alike that it astonishes me. I have also come to realize that I love you deeply. You have done nothing but give me your true self. What it is we are; we cannot expect fidelity but we can give each other honesty and give each other our souls.” She said nearing his bed.
“If you mean it; bind with me fully. Give me your soul Isha.” He said meeting her eyes.
“We have made love the Shouten way.” Asuna said taking his hand.
“We are mated and partially bound through Lei but fully bind to ME! Tie your life and that of your soul to me. Make it impossible for us ever to be apart. If you even love me that is.” Admal said almost bitterly.
His answer was her lips against his wrist and her soft kisses against his skin. Admal had nothing on and she slowly kissed up his muscled arm and he shut his blue eyes. Soon her lips met his mouth and hunger for oneness ripped through him and he savagely kissed her. Admal loved her and he had for quite some time. She was the only woman he loved and he soon had her under him. She responded fully to his questing tongue and demanding thrusts of his fleshy organ. Admal felt her fingers go through his shaggy ebony hair and lightly scratch his scalp and he purred in appreciation. She knew he enjoyed the sensation and his intense pangs for her made him light headed. He slowly withdrew from her soft lips and he breathed hard.
“Isha. Asuna. My love.” He said with such conviction.
He phased off the white gossamer gown she wore and she opened her thighs. Asuna made such a long moan as he slid inside of her that he shivered. Admal slowly pulled his organ back and just as slowly pushed back in. His blue eyes were locked with hers and he kissed her in short passionate nips and sucking of lips. One hand reached up and held her cheek as he moved within her and she softly whimpered and whined as they made physical love.
“Isha? Step above? Further?” He asked in a strained voice.
She nodded a little and he took a deep breath. Admal willed himself into his ether form. He willed himself into the spiritual and he felt hers. He had seen her before. He had seen her every which way and he loved her passionately for it all. Her soul was different and it was hot. The very stuff of the ether structure was live energy and hers radiated. Admal was engulfed. He just felt and he just melded. True oneness was achieved and they had done this once with Lei. That had drove them all out of their skulls when all of them had made love in soul. Admal had been certain he was in love with them before but after their incident; he was absolutely positive it was so. Isha had to leave her physical body and Admal could just change his form but it was some time and he felt the weighting down as they anchored and tethered. He thrilled and he was losing his utter mind. He saw things and he shoved down anger to experience true rapture. She fell back in her physical form and she was heaving her chest as she screamed and moaned. He phased back in and he lifted her leg onto his shoulder so he could thrust deeper. Admal rolled his hips and she lifted her head and her hair was soaked with sweat. She gasped harder and harder for him and he was so utterly happy.
“You did touch him.” He growled as his thrusts made her bite her own lips and she bled.
“You saw it all. I hid nothing..I hid nothing. I have told and shown you all. I love you. I love you. Admal! Oh Kamis Admal! I feel you so much. Oh Kami!” She screamed harder.
“Imagine what it will be when we see our Lei. Imagine what it he will feel. Isha! Oh fuck my love! This Tala cannot have you this way. NEVER! Only your Shouten wraiths will have you this way. You are our queen. You are my mate. MY soul. My heart. My master.” Admal stuttered out as the sweat covered his lightly tanned body.
Sweat dripped from his brow and she licked at his cheek and kissed at him eager. She needed her own completion; her own finishing point but Admal was sealing their fates. He was making it impossible for her to ever forget or wish to be from him ever. Admal tr’Awnhi seared his very existence to her core and the whole of Astana heard her scream.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She slept in his arms and Maec stood in the door and he was quite impressed with his baby brother. The man was extraordinary in so many ways. Admal lifted his head and saw his brother and king and Isha was gone for the moment. Admal phased a dressing gown on and he gingerly slipped from the bed. He followed his father figure out and they padded along the hall to Maec’s rooms.
“You will be going to your proper era no later than next week. I am certain of it.” He said bluntly.
“Truly?” Admal asked stunned.
“Yes. You miss your other lover.” Maec stated for fact.
“I do. I just do.” He said sighing.
“Tell me about this other person who has captured your heart so profoundly.” His brother commanded.
“Jing Lei Shi.” Admal said.
“A Jing?” The Shouten king asked shocked.
“I know. He is Jing but you have not truly seen him. I love him brother. I love him as does Isha. He fought you. He showed up and told you where to fly. He is a prodigy honestly. He truly rivals both of us in power. He is beautiful and kind. He is smart and wicked. He and Isha used to be terrible enemies.” The younger tr’Awnhi smiled.
“I see. Well how very very interesting. A Jing? They are so good.” He said wrinkling his nose.
Admal laughed and Maec looked truly horrified at the idea of his brother loving a Jing. Asuna soon found her way into the king’s rooms and the nanny brought her Larak and she began to feed the Shouten babe. She yawned and she just fed her child without thought or care. Her son was a greedy in his suckling and Admal looked at them both so fondly.
“Lei is going to love him to pieces.” He whispered.
“Hai. He might demand one of his own.” Asuna said yawning more.
“Do I get along with this man at all?” Maec demanded.
“Not really.” She answered.
“I think I should try. If he is as powerful as you both seem to indicate then it would behoove me to groom him for power within the kingdom. What say you Admal?” His brother asked.
“I think it brilliant! He is very sharp brother. He is beyond intelligent…” Admal said enthusiastically.
“Admal! I get it! You are absolutely enthralled with him. I am almost jealous.” He said making a face.
Asuna smiled and this was so good. Admal met her eyes for a moment and the feelings they shared was so intense. Who else could understand what it meant to be what they were but another half empusae? She now began to think the draw she felt to Fionn was just more than the whole soul thing. She began to think it was this life that had the passionate feelings and that her past life was influenced by this life. It was a novel idea and Admal smiled at her thought process. They spoke of veils and they spoke of going home. Admal grew more and more excited at seeing his Lei and his eyes met hers. He asked her permission mentally but he asked. He wanted to love Kameron as well. Her eyes told her answer and Admal felt fully and truly happy. He was going to go home and he was going home to his family.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It neared festival time and Tala grew nervous. They had found so many chests filled with magical totems. Trinkets imbibed with power to trap and ruin. It was disgusting on so many levels. Tala stared at one that had been partially destroyed and he sat at his clan’s table.
“Ye cana forget her?” His cousin asked.
“I have te. I have te move on. I’m better than all of them.” Tala said staring at the ruined trinket of pewter.
“Tala! If ye care fer her than ye should tell her.” Kennet stated in frustration.
“I told her. I’m not going te beg her like some whiney little bitch boy. She’s got those other wraith boys fer that. I dona have te say over and over. I dona have te say, I love ye so I can lose her. No, I am done.” He said in his Scottish burr.
Kennet felt his cousin’s misery but he did his what his considered his clan’s ancient duty and he assisted the reborn Arianrhod and the master of Annwn. The festival drew closer and they were all busy at night digging up the freaking boxes. Tala stood up and threw back his butter wine and he stalked towards the doors. The grey stones of this ancient dwelling were worn and it showed its age. Tala had been born right after the fall of the ekimmu and he had been their leader for some time. They fought the Sistern and often as they dwelt in Loch Halvat. The great wooden doors creaked open and Tala exited and Kennet sighed. His cousin bore a burden that many of their kind avoided. Love was messy. Fucking was for fun and making bairns. Love was just not worth it.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
He was near the stones nearest the entrance to his in between this time of year and he was glacial. He said nothing and only did what he considered his duty. Tala forced himself not to react when he saw the pretty wraith with her. She was investigating this circle and she was so beautiful in his opinion. She had on a dark grey dress of velvet that had wide bell sleeves and an under skirt of damask silver. She wore the crown of Arianrhod and the blue sapphire covered her moon. Her silver hair was down and she was talking in another language he did not know. The Stythe ruler appeared impassive and Admal passed him and he stared over at him with utter disdain.
“I wonder if you will be alive.” He said coldly.
“I actually hope not. I dona want te see yer fucking face.” Tala said sharply.
“Why are you always so disagreeable?” Admal asked meanly.
Asuna was beside them both and she did not want there to be a fight. Tala simply stood by and looked away. Admal smirked and he walked. Fionn appeared and Tala went to his knee before the ekimmu warlord.
“Hello melord.” He said with bowed head.
“You are head of the Lachie Clan?” Fionn asked.
“I am.” Tala answered.
“You have served us well. We shall not forget. I promise you.” He said with a voice that Tala knew all too well; pride.
“Thank ye sir.” He said looking up.
“Fionn!” Asuna said grinning and Fionn accepted her hug.
“Hello Asuna. You realize I will have to go back to avoid paradox. You will be able to jog my memory with Math’s potion. Do it. I do not want to forget this. I wish to remember everything.” He said cupping her chin.
“Hai.” She said with tears brimming her eyes.
A bloody tear fell down her face and he was stunned to see it. She was not possessed by Arianrhod and Admal neared her. She looked shocked and wiped the bloody tear away.
“What the hell?” She asked surprised.
“You may be evolving some.” The thunder ekimmu stated.
“Admal and actually finished the bind.” Asuna stated very softly.
Tala still heard it and suddenly his heart felt as if he had been punched in the chest. He did not show it and he only stood but Admal knew. He knew that bit of information hurt the other wraith and a mean smile curved his lips. It angered him that this lowly Stythe thought himself so much better than his Shouten counterparts. Admal thought it ridiculous when the Shouten had evolved to face the sun. It was funny as hell to him and he looked over at Tala and the red haired man only stared straight ahead.
“Brother? Are you ready for your role?” Fionn asked.
“I am! I am thrilled! Will I have to do what?” Admal asked Fionn.
“You will have to show me that. I will think you lie. I will think many things at first but make certain I remember. If things go awry for any reason you are her guardian.” He said flatly.
“Absolutely.” He nodded.
“Okay. I am going with Math into Hueco Mundo to fight the Sistern until the festival. Retrieve me when you get Gwydion back.” He commanded.
“Hai.” She nodded.
Fionn nodded to all and he phased. Asuna looked at Admal and he was shielding a little too heavily for her liking.
“Admal come please.” Asuna asked.
“I want to say this in front of him and you Isha.” He said growling.
“Admal!” She snapped.
“You are not better than Shouten. You are pathetic. You are wretched and you are not worthy of such goodness, son of Bilae.” He said spitting at the ground near Tala’s feet.
“Ye told him?” Tala said growling at her.
“She did not have to. Do you Stythe not bind?” Admal snorted.
“We are not that stupid lassie.” He growled at Admal.
“We are stupid because we give ourselves to each other in our true forms? Well it is a beautiful thing and your kind is nasty, night dwelling cockroaches!” The tr’Awnhi prince snarled.
“Ye are the one who doesna understand pretty girl. We dona have te do shit. I’m so glad ye can look down yer nose at me. I told ye that in confidence Lady. I told ye the truth fer what reason I dona understand but yer a pathetic version of me queen and I shall be glad when yer gone.” He said bowing and leaving.
“Tala wait!” Asuna cried feeling badly.
“Isha!” Her mate said in sudden possessive anger.
“You are being an asshole Admal! This is not you!” She screamed at him.
“It is me when he tried to kill me!” Admal retorted.
“I will speak to him one last time. I gave you everything I could give you! I have given my heart and my soul! I have given you a son and a daughter! Do you still doubt?” She demanded.
“No.” He sighed.
“Go!” She snarled.
Admal made a face and he phased out. Asuna ported to the in between and Tala had just entered and she was hot on his tail. She grabbed his elbow and he jerked away from her harshly.
“Ye have made yer point. Ye abstained and I am no fool. Ye may find me pleasing te look at but that is all. I am the bastard son of raping, thieving murderer. Yer pretty lass out there makes certain te tell his opinion freely.” He said with such cold.
“Why now? Why do you have to do this now? Why do you have to act like you care?” Asuna asked in a hurt tone.
“I hurt that Anglish bastard because he hurt ye. I hurt him because he took ye. He did no better then raped ye. I realized that maybe I was no different. So maybe I’m no better than an Anglish. Go away.” He said snarling out.
“Stop! I said stop!” She screamed at him.
“Ye will go back and I will forget ye. I’ll pretend ye did not come here and ye did not show me yer true self. I’m not a soft man and I’ve no need te be a bleeding hurt. Yer a woman and ye can do so but I shall not.” Tala said cruelly.
She jerked him to her and their mouths met. He kissed her and it was that violent emotion again. It was that violent attraction that scared the utter crap out of her. He terrified her beyond reason and Tala suddenly shoved her back and left her to stand there alone. A couple of blood tears fell down her face as her emotions fell into a deep swell. She had faced so much in the time she had been here. The Scots had won a major victory and she had come to know they had attacked for the sheer surprise factor. Andrum had given strict orders to his wolves that she was not be harmed. Even Aldwyn had not been truly harmed badly. The Scottish ningen had done well too and Edward I of England had suffered a devastating blow in his ambitions. Asuna came to realize that soon; very soon she may actually get to go home. She also realized that her heart was in some ways breaking. She blamed every bit of pain on Bilae and could not wait to wreck havoc upon him.
