Roleplay from Deianarah McDowell
Her long hair, trailed along her back, and if he looked closely, he would see lines of a tattoo on her lower back showing through strands of her dark blond hair.
Turning her head to the side, she watched him quietly.

He ran a hand along her side, and to her back, intrigued by the tattoo.
"What's that?" he asked softly, his other hand gingerly rubbing a scar on his side he had received in the duel to the death with the loud mouthed Soliferan Knight. On his shoulder was a small marking, white in color, a winged blade.

She felt his hand move her hair off to the side, to reveal her tattoo and she smiled as his fingertips traced her skin. She’d had it done so long ago, she didn’t even think of it anymore unless pointed out. The design was of Gaelic symbols, flowing lines, surrounded by vines, roses and two blades, symbolizing her family crest. “That’s my form of rebellion…” she smirked. “It’s kind of a derivative of my name…” she said softly and looked back ahead to the tent walls. “My parents named me Deianarah…it means Goddess of beauty,” she murmured, now slightly shy about it… for who named their children such.
“That word there… is Goddess,” her cheeks reddened and she buried her face in her hands. “I swear the things I’ve done out of spite, would simply make you laugh.”

"A fitting name." he said, continuing to trace his fingers along the design.
"We all have our rebellious years. I had mine... Horus I think still is in his." he admired the design and kissed her again.

She grinned, her mind following his touch and then his kiss. “Fitting name…” she mused quietly. “ I hated them for choosing such a name. I was an awkward child, taller than most girls my age, and too thin. My hair was too dark to be blonde, and too light to be like my sister’s lustrous brown. And my eyes… were odd. I always wished they were blue, or green…I felt like instead of a compliment it was a curse, as if they gave me another impossible challenge, one I couldn’t control the outcome of.”
She leaned back down to the bed and reached out to touch the scar on his side, that was a powerful reminder of how easily she could have lost him without ever getting the chance to be with him, without ever telling him how she felt. Leaning over, she kissed the scar. “Promise me, you won’t ever take up that kind of duel again,” she begged softly.

"I can't make that promise. I am a warrior, a Nighthelmian and a Brother of the Hall of Blood and Battle. If the circumstance demands it, I will duel to the death. I promise you this though, I will master the blade to the point where such duels will be a non issue." he said, his voice firm.
"It was in a similar duel my Father slew Valion Hendrix, Deacon of Despair for the Chaos Requiem. Right there in sacred Idaol, just outside the first hall of Blood and Battle... Built by Valius Hendrix, who now resides in Valhalla."

She had hoped he would promise, but she knew he wouldn’t have. She nodded at his negotiation and smiled. “I will take that then,” she said softly and then added, barely above a whisper, “if I ever lost you Thain…I don’t know how I would go on…” she closed her eyes and swallowed.

He kissed her on the cheek, and then down to her chin, then pecked her on the lips.
"Don't worry. I am the Son of Senoske, Chosen of the Elders. You won't lose me." he ran his hand up to her side and to her stomach. He ran his fingers down her abdomen, and he kissed her again.

His tender kisses, made her shiver and she squirmed lightly as his finger trailed down the length of her body. She sighed contently and her eyes shone with love, but inside she tried to chase the fear in the pit of her stomach. Senoske, had eventually passed and Thain had been left to stand alone. She didn’t want to be the one standing over his funeral pyre… or his son in turn if the future allowed it. Chasing the image from her mind, she instead concentrated on his lips. “Can we just stay here forever?” she asked him sweetly.

Thain thought his heart would burst with love for her when she asked her question, and he pulled her into him and kissed her passionately, his tongue lingering on her lips, savoring her taste.
"If I had things my way, we would. You're precious Dei, like the first snow of the season. Perfect and pure, and you could be content to just look at it forever." he said tenderly, enjoying the feel of her warm skin on his.

His words were so romantic, and so passionate she was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. His strong arms held her close and so effortlessly his touch rendered her helpless to his will. She was falling so deeply in love with him the magnitude of it was suffocating, frightful. Her heart ached, but not out of pain, it was the yearning desire, the need to be one with him. And every moment spent together only made it stronger, until it seemed to swallow everything.
“Oh Thain…” she sighed, slipping her arms around his neck and kissed him again. Her lips caressed his, tenderly, the motion slow, lingering. Her mouth covered his and she slid her tongue into his mouth to get another taste of him, she couldn’t get enough. After a few moments she pulled away, “a’thaisce,” she whispered, “it means my treasure…my precious,” she explained and then smiled. “And you… mo’cuishle you are the pulse of that snow, her beating heart. You are the shining reflection of a thousand points of dazzling light which gives the snow its everlasting beauty.”
She slid a leg alongside his, the sensation amazingly sensual and her other hand trailed along his back. Her fingers traced every muscle, moving lower until she felt the curve of his backside and then to the front of him and back up again. His skin was so warm, the chemistry between them so powerful. Every touch they shared seemed to be nothing but a constant burning, passionate yet luscious flame of desire.

Thain fans his hands down her back, and up onto her buttocks, which he squeezed lightly. He kissed her again, and slid his hands back up, wrapping his arms around her middle and holding her tight to him, the longing in his heart for her was unbearable and laid there, holding her and kissing her. He wanted nothing more but to stay and never care about anything else.
"A'thaisce..." he whispered.

As his hands slid over and around her body, she felt so close to him, mentally and physically. Dei smiled at his words and answered, “mo’cuishle,” and brushed her lips against his, but didn’t kiss him. She just wanted to relish the closeness of him. She rubbed her nose against his gently and then looked to his face. Studying every angle of it, memorizing each line, stamping it all to memory because she never wanted to forget this moment.
She leaned her head back onto the pillow and continued her gaze to the rest of his body, doing the same thing. Her hand slid to his shoulder to the winged blade mark on it. “And what is this for?” she asked softly. She wanted to know everything there was to know about him.

“It's the mark of Hildr, Mistress of Battle, bestowed on only those she deems worthy, either after an intense battle, or a week long ritual. It is the reason I was promoted from the rank of Paladin to Chosen. I will probably assume my father's rank someday, and become Hildr's Warlord." he said, continuing to run his hands over her body, wanting to feel every bit of her, memorizing every curve.

Leaning her head onto his chest, she lightly traced the mark on his shoulder and kissed it, her mouth lingering over his skin. “Warlord,” she repeated with a whisper. “You will…because you are so…amazing,” she said unable to mask the admiration from her voice.
She then closed her eyes, and mentally followed his hands as they caressed her skin making her sigh with delight. His touch was so mesmerizing, incredibly soothing and it brought a smile to her lips.
As if lost in thought, she grew silent and then she opened her eyes again. Her pupils seemed to dilate and she looked up. “You… will be a King someday…” she said as if the realization of it had only just then hit her. Her face was so serious and there was a long pause on her part and then it was broken with a soft laugh. “And I…I am desperately and irrevocably in love with a King,” she said with a grin and the tiniest shake of her head, as if not really believing her own words.
“I’m in trouble aren’t I?” she asked playfully and reached over to take one of his hands and lightly traced each finger. “The hands of a King,” she mused absently. “Nothing shall ever compare to your touch Thain,” she breathed and closed her eyes again, replaying it all in her mind. “Know this…whether you were King or beggar, I would love you still.”
Nuzzling into him, she slid her fingers along his and brought the other to his chest, her eyes still closed. Gods, he smelled so good. She couldn’t remember a time in her life when she had been happier. It felt like she had finally found home and she knew she would fight with everything she had to keep it.

Her words pleased him more than anything else could and he beamed.
"I will be a King soon. The war goes in our favor and it is just a matter of time until we storm the old lands of Nighthelm and cast down the foul banners of Soliferum. The glory and the honor of the South will be restored with the return of the King. So it was written, and so it shall be."
Thain kissed her on the forehead, and looked lovingly into her eyes.
"The days ahead will not be easy. Courage and skill will be tested, and we may lose comrades... But we must stand fast in the face of evil, or all that is good in this world will fade and die."

“No they won’t be easy,” she agreed a part of her afraid of what the future held for them. There was a long silence as she seemed to get lost in his gaze. “But we will prevail, and I… will be fine as long as you’re with me,” she kissed him lovingly and wrapped her arms around his neck and cuddled.
She was so relaxed her eyes kept closing on her, and she fought to keep them open because she didn’t want to miss anything. She was so satiated, so calm, she felt so loved. – She was drowning in him and everything he was, all that he said to her. “But first… we have to make it through this night,” she whispered into his ear with a smile and closed her eyes.

"We have to? I thought we'd just stay here and let it drag on forever. I'll be damned." he joked, kissing her back, and pulled a blanket over the two of them, suddenly aware of the night's chill. He smiled at her, and suddenly realized he was exhausted, but he was determined to stay awake longer than her.

She smiled and nuzzled into him and the blanket. “I could lie here and listen to you forever.” She trailed her hands along his back, her fingertips lightly following his spine. His body heat had kept her warm, but now the heat of the added blanket was not helping her stay awake.
“Thain… my sister once told me we were only half of who we could be…” she mumbled and paused lost in thought. “Do you believe your soul was reserved for one person and one only and without that other person to complete you, then you’re left to wander only half of who you should be?” she asked, thinking out loud. She could feel herself drift away and her hand slowed and stopped. Her eyes fluttered open again and she kissed his neck. “I’m sorry…” she apologized, “I just don’t want to miss anything,” she said forcing herself to stay awake but it was a losing battle and she closed her eyes again.
