Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Twenty-Seven
The woods here are very beautiful.The forest is composed of what look like Ghost Gum trees, a fact I only know because my dad was always taking me camping. I'm not saying we ever came across any of these, because we lived in North America, but he talked a lot when we'd go out together. He'd tell me all sort of random facts, different uses for plants we'd walk by. I always felt like he knew everything. We'd fish, we'd catch frogs, we'd pick berries and he'd tell me what was safe to eat and wasn't. I grew up around nature, always running and playing with him. He was my best friend.I ran a hand across a tree as I walked, my thoughts heavy on my dad.You're so close child...I jump at the words that float through my mind when I touch the tree. I pull my hand away quickly. I pause for a moment, then place is back. Nothing this time. Am I for real losing my mind right now? I shake my head, and keep walking, occasionally touching a tree or a hanging leaf. Each time I heard that little voi

"I don't think I want to talk about this anymore." I huff at the trees mention of Erik loosing interest, sitting up and choosing to instead lean my head against the tree. "Let's talk about you instead. Yeah?"I have no quarrel with that.Ha. A prideful tree. How funny."Who are you to me? Why can I hear you? Can everyone hear you?" I look up at its beautiful drooping branches, all heavy with gently falling pink flowers.I am what some consider your Aldre, a mentor of sorts for you and only you. Until you depart this world, that is. I blossomed from the blood of your ancestors, and therefore am connected to your blood line and your blood line alone. No one else will ever be able to hear my thoughts.My heart aches a little at that. How lonely.Sweet child. So sweet. Too sweet...You are quite weak, you know. Especially if it is the belief you are an Alva."Gee, thanks for calling me out." I rolled my eyes and looked down at my legs. I had never felt all that small or weak, but these pas

"I just don't understand how you can both claim to love me when neither of you knows me." I say to Erik once I've started following after him again."On the contrary, I can say for sure I know you quite well." I roll my eyes."Just because you got a slideshow of my greatest memories, doesn't mean you know me." He throws his head back and laughs."You've been around Mann for too long, Delilah. You were weak when we met, I was not. You only saw fragments of my life; I saw your entire story. I felt everything you felt when your dad died, how excited you were the first time you tied your shoe, the sadness in you when your cat was killed by a loose dog." I stare up at his back as we walk closer to his estate. I can see it looming in the distance now. "I saw all of it." He breathes softly. My heart skips a little. Damn him. He was making it really hard to be cold towards him."Well. It seems awfully rude to tease Larkin like that and then just send him away." I mutter, more to myself really

"You made it back." Larkin grins at me, quickly closing the distance between us. I squeal when he picks me up by the armpits and spins me around a little, setting me back down on the other side of him."Geez." I back away a bit, brushing my pants free from imaginary dirt. "Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" I ask, suddenly remembering the state his bear had been in before.He shakes his head, showing me his wrists. "My kind heals very quickly." I nod, looking up at him. His face grows somber."You are fated to that man." He states. I guess we're skipping right to the crappy conversation that had to be had."And you aren't allowed to marry someone who isn't your kind." I can see his shoulders sag even more."You found out." That irritates me."You were planning on hiding it? I mean come on; I crossed worlds for you." I slap my thighs in defeat, looking up at him. "What was your plan? I really want to know. And why can't you be with someone who isn't like you? What's the beef ther

I open my eyes when my desperate question is only greeted by the night's silence, peering up at the moon. I reach my hands down and grab handful of grass, bringing them up to pull them apart in my hands. Tears sting at my eyes for no reason."Dammit." I mutter as tears start dripping from my eyes without my consent. Why was I here? Why had I left my home, and everything I had, for this place? So far, I'd just been disappointed. I almost wish Larkin had never let me remember him. Ignorance is bliss, right?I wipe at my eyes with one hand and then return it to the grass to pull absentmindedly at it. I wonder what my mom is doing right now, and if she misses me. I wonder what happened to my car, and if anyone at work noticed when I didn't show up. I hope my dog doesn't miss me too much.I wonder if I'll ever get to go home again.I sigh and move to stand up. But I hesitate when my eyes catch a splotch of color on the ground under my hands that hadn't been there when I sat down.There we

"My Lady!" My lady? Who the hell is calling me my lady now? And why are they yelling?I pry open my eyes, blocking the sunlight from them as I do so. I groan, looking up to meet gazes with what appears to be another servant woman. She wears the same dress as the others, and the same apron. She's staring down at me in horror, shock clear on her face. Her hair is almost yellow in color, pulled back into a tight bun that hung low on her head. Her eyes are a pale brown color with long, lovely lashes surrounding them."Why are you on the floor? Did you and Erik have a fight?" She quickly sits down on knees, laying down flat so her hands stretch towards me. She looks up at me with her face only."What are you doing right now?" I ask, scrunching up my whole face. It was too early to beat around the bush."I shouldn't stand above you. It would look bad." I shake my head a little, rubbing at my still tired eyes. I am definitely not used to this weird master-servant relationship all the helpers

"I guess I need to learn more about what it means to be fated." I feel his hand on my lower back, and I know I'm growing weak. I force myself to blink and break eye contact, so I don't lose consciousness again."Don't worry, we'll work on your magic, so you won't always get so weak when we connect." He moves his hand from my lower back once I'm stable again."Speaking of magic." I step away from him a little. "Something happened last night, when I was outside.""When were you outside? The guards said you were just wondering-" he stops when I turn to glare at him. He kind of opens and closes his mouth, avoiding looking at me for a second before shooting me a sheepish grin. I roll my eyes but turn back towards the window. So, he knew I was lost last night. He was probably the reason none of the many guards I'd walked by offered to help. How petty."Anyways." I shoot him a look and stop in front of the window, bending to look down and gasping in excitement at what I see. "I knew I wasn't

"Do you have any scents you prefer?" Chepi asks as I start peeling off my clothes to get into the bath. She graciously turned her back then to clink through the bottles of soaps and other liquids."No, I trust your judgment." I step into the water, lowering myself in quickly and perching on the provided ledge underneath."Very well, My lady." I sink into the water up to my nose, watching Chepi from behind the steam. She plucked vials of oil off a cart and made her way to the still running square shaped taps behind me. She empties a pink colored one into one stream of water, then crawls to another and adds a cream-colored vial. The water immediately starts smelling of honey suckles and vanilla. I sigh, and close my eyes for a second, opening them again when I hear her rummaging about some more.She grabs a fabric bag off the cart and approaches again. She kneels down and gently starts sprinkling the dried daisy petals into the bath, keeping her eyes on the water the entire time. She ri

Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Eighty-Three
It’s cold. Very cold. Where am I that’s so cold? Last I remember I was walking with Reni… I remember getting incredibly hot, the exact opposite of the temperature I was currently feeling around me.“Gudinna? Are you here with me?” I open my eyes, sitting up and smacking my head into something immediately. I back up a little at the sight of Bacudal inches away from my face, his yellow slitted eyes staring into mine. I look around, pushing myself off the floor. “Why am I here? What's happening?” I ask, my eyes flicking to his nest of eggs in the middle of the cold, freezer-like room. “I called you here. It’s urgent.” He came forward again, his eyes darting every which way. “There is a Gud here, on my land.” I watch him as he darts towards his eggs, laying a hand on each one before looking back at me. “I fear he comes for my babies.” My heart stops. “Why would he come for them?” I step forward and he slithers down to me again. “They will imprint on and serve whoever touches them

“What happened to Gyrm?” I ask Reni after a moment of silence.She grins evilly. “Erik happened. When he became of age, he challenged his father for his spot leading the Alva. He didn’t have to, Gyrm would’ve been forced out eventually anyways. But he knew he would never really go away, he would always be there. A threat. A problem. Always disagreeing with his diplomatic leadership style.” She glances down at me. I must look scared, because she chuckles a little. “There is no need to worry. I can assure you, Erik is not like his father. I can count the number of times I’ve seen him angry on one hand.” “Why are Alva numbers so important? Why are you forced to breed?” “Has Erik told you of the Ranka?” I nod. “He told me they were the worst of the species. But not much else.”“He isn’t wrong. They are the escaped slaves of Sanju, and their descendants. They’ve gained strength by raping ours and other species woman, killing their babies for blood, and stringing their warriors up as a

“Do you regret it?” I ask Reni after a tense moment of silence. She sighs, and hangs her head. “Often. But I love what I do. I love serving Erik, and helping him protect our people. I am of better use to him this way, as it is.” She nods once, firmly, and I imagined her telling herself that line over and over again. If only she’d never had to make such a harsh choice at such a young age. I thought about how even in my old world, women were often not given freewill over their own bodies. In this world, that was even more evident. “Has it always been like this?” I ask, crossing my arms and resting them on my knees. I didn’t want to know something so cold and barbaric about this place I was slowly falling in love with. I wanted it to be perfect, but it clearly wasn’t. And that was why I kept pushing.“Since the species separated, yes.” I tilt my head to the side. “Why did they separate? Something must have happened.” Reni sighs, and finally turns to look at me. She walks over to w

Ah, so you’re not a total idiot. I scoff and shake my head at my Alder, whose roots I was currently sitting on.It was the day after I had agreed to marry Erik. We had slept in the same bed, but all we did was snuggle and sleep. No matter how much I teased him, he seemed set on waiting for us to be married before he’d go all the way with me, or “deflower” me as he called it. It was nice to know he had self control, I guess. I knew there was no way I was letting him marry some other woman. My eyes flick to Reni, who has taken Chepi’s place for the day, as she had things to plan for the wedding as my personal servant. The wedding was tomorrow night, apparently it didn’t take long to plan an Alva wedding. They had been gearing for this since the second I crossed through that pond portal, so for all I knew, they already had everything set up and ready to go. Are you nervous? Asks the tree. Very. This is for real. I’m marrying an elf man from another world. I laugh out loud and Reni

"Oh." I sigh as I feel his fingers moving my panties to the side as he begins his mission of making me cum. "Ooooh." I breathe out heavily as I feel his tongue on my wet folds. "Oh what are you doing?" I call out as he slips a finger in as he continues licking. He laughs, I can feel it, and wraps his lips around my aching spot, and sucks a little. I arch, and one of his hands shoots up to firmly push me by my stomach back onto the table. His push was firm, like a reminder of who was in charge right now."I told you." He teases and he pushes in another finger."Holy crap." I breathe. His hand moves from where it'd been holding me down, and I feel it come in between me and his tongue for a moment before it reaches back up and starts running over my nipple. I shudder and arch again, but he doesn't push me back this time. Just sucks on my spot and pulls his fingers out slightly, where he knows it'll make me come. I can feel my thighs clenching around his head, my body writhing against the

He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a small box, but doesn't open it yet."Deliah, I've only actually known you for a handful of days. But I've seen inside your mind, I've seen what kind of person you are. I've seen how you think and act when no one is around, and I love that about you." He swallows thickly. "And more than that, I love what I see in front of me, right now. A strong woman, figuring herself out, taking control of herself and her life. I am so enamored by you, Delilah." He opens the box then, and I suck in a breath at the gorgeous ring that rests inside."A ring?" I whisper."I did some research, and found this was the typical way Mann proposed marriage. You already wear the anklet of my people, so I thought I'd go this route next." He smiles, picking it up out of the box and holding it out to me. He looks at me seriously again."Delilah, I love you. I know that. I want to be with you, for as long as there is breath in my lungs. I want to watch you change into

Erik was going to ask me to marry him. And if I said no, that was it for us. I'd have to watch him marry another woman. I'd be his side hoe if I ever wanted anything to do with him again. And I couldn't deny, I wanted "something" to do with him. I wish we had time to do things a little... slower. That much was for sure. I knew my mom would be pissed that I was even considering marrying this man, but the thought of him with someone else made a ball of furious rage form in my chest. I swallow as we stop in front of a high entry way covered by hanging flowers."Have fun, Lady Delilah." I smile at Chepi and walk through the flowers.Here we go.The greenhouse was probably twenty feet by twenty feet, with rounded edges rather than squared like the rest of the rooms. The ceiling was replaced with a crisscrossing wood pattern, no glass though, just vines and flowers and moss climbing over the wood. I wondered if it'd form a natural roof one day. The sides of the room have rows of seedlings

"What are we doing today, Lady Delilah?"It was rhe next day. I spent the night alone, and in my own head luckily. I'm sitting in the tub currently, my favorite spot in the house."Will I get to see Erik tonight?" I whine. I was bored without him. I had hung out in the kitchen and helped make and clean up dinner yesterday and hadn't finished until it was dark out. I had enjoyed talking to the cooks, including Pur who was baking bread as she said she always did."Yes, Lady Delilah. And don't forget what else is happening tonight?" She leans towards me in the tub, handing me a small tub of scrubby looking stuff. I nod, holding a smile back."What if you're wrong though and I'm getting excited for nothing?" I scoop out the rough paste and bring my leg up out of the water. Chepi said she was going to shave my legs, which was fine, because they needed it. So, I was exfoliating first."I am not wrong. He told me. I wasn't really supposed to tell you, but my loyalty lies with you, not Erik.

"You saw, yes?" I nod, walking closer to the men. "Would you like to try?" I flick my eyes up to him quickly then, laughing a little. "I'm serious." He certainly looks it. I squat down in front of the balancing men without answering him, looking at the streams of light connecting their fingers to the earth below them. This man's light was green colored, this one was light blue."It goes with the elements they can control." Erik has squatted down with me. "Tye here," he pokes the man with the blue light coming from his finger, "can manipulate ice. He channels it from the core of the world, and therefore, levitates." I tilt my head a little at the floating man. "Want to try?" He asks again."I can't do that." I point to the men. Erik laughs."Don't be silly. I don't want you to do that." He stands, and I follow suit. "Men." Erik booms. Their eyes open, and they listen, still floating. "If any of you drop my goddess, you will be fed to the boars for dinner." he grins then, crossing his a
