FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 35. Just like his brother
He had said it just like his brother. They both did not just come off the same sand mold, their souls were obviously entwined. Arawa began to wonder if every twin born behaves exactly the same. She might begin immediately to reconsider that hastily made wish of hers to have twins. Hell, she could not believe she had actually wished for identical twins. What foolishness. This is why they say, listen to the elders, they know it all. Orau had told her to be careful what she actually wished for lest the angels and spirits incharge actually turn her way and take whatever she said seriously. Well, they better take this new stance of hers seriously as she no longer wanted twins. Those creatures could cause even the most sane person to go overboard. To think that anymore would be a death wish. Arawa braced herself as he turned and began walking towards her. Yes, that was almost exactly like the other one, what was his name again... She had actually not registered his name even though she had
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 36. You are ours
It took some time but eventually she was at the bath house. This was weird, they even had a big place where they took their bath, Arawa was thinking as she remembered hazily being put in a tub in that room. This was also some sort of public embarrassment for her. Washing up in an open space under his very nose. Yes, he lived up to his promise, he was there with a couple of guards to supervise. Although, as promised he did turn away so as not to look upon her nakedness but nevertheless, she was still very much uncomfortable. She was one drawn to her privacy. Even at the Wuwa river, when it was time for the women to wash up, Arawa made sure she drew to a far end and away from the others. She did not want anyone looking upon her nakedness. Now, these barbarians had to make her wash up under their nose. It almost felt like they had eyes at the back of their heads which they used to observe her entire body. She was worried and was at the edge, should just in case she noticed one of them tu
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 37. Peverts
He stood there, smiling to himself as he tried to boost his ego or whatever it was he was trying to protect. This one definitely was the worst of the brothers. Well, she was not going to take it now, would she. She was going to make sure he thought twice about hitting her next time. It would be there, yes, right there on that spot slightly above his nose. She was going to hit him so hard that he would get not just nose bleeds, but a cut at the spot. Her hands were ready and she had her chance. Just then when she was about to strike out, someone held her across the shoulder and steered her away from him. It was the old woman and she was even talking to him. Something about her needing to untangle her hair and put her to her duties. Her eyes however gave Arawa the warning glance to hold her horses. Arawa scoffed, she had done this on purpose. How could she step in just then when she would have taught him a lesson he would never forget soon, did she have a dead wish or something. She c
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 38. Brian's slave
Arawa’s limbs were beginning to feel like rubber, her arms had gone numb and her pace with that mill stone had slowed down drastically. When initially, she was dropping her pace, the soldiers had been mocking her, making her feel dejected. Arawa nearly cried really, she had never been this stressed. She was sweating all over and worst of all, her clothes clung to her body. She had begun tasting what slavery entails. | bet you, right now she was beginning to wish she had not gotten on the barbarian nerve. She should have closed her loud mouth and understood that the situation was beyond her control. She had actually been about to wonder why the multiple slaves here could not bring themselves to fight their adversaries, but now she had gone through this tip of the iceberg, she understood that there would probably be no one like these barbarians. They had the Capacity to break anyone. She could barely see any more, eventually everything was blurry. The barbarian had given instructions on
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 39. Send in the doctor
He was eating her up, literally. His eyes continued lingering on her breasts, she became uncomfortable and crossed her hands across her shoulders. Her reaction however did amuse him as he came to terms with what she was doing. She was trying to protect a good aspect of her dignity, the very dignity he was sure that his brother would tear away from her as soon as he returned from his assignment. Furthermore, he was sure that he would get his turn when Brian tired of her and gave her up. Then he would mark her all over her body and leave his scent hovering over her nostrils before casting her away. She still had that defiant air about her, the very defiance of hers that was beginning to get on his nerves. He still had things to do and hence, he gave orders that she be given food and water. She added when it became obvious that he would not be topping her bonus that she also wanted a bath. It was this confidence of hers that did not seem to be fading anytime soon that amused him. Even ha
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 40. Sick Arawa
He had to permit it afterwards because he obviously did not want to disappoint his brother who was out there paving the way for him. It was another new day and he had actually been wondering how Brian was faring since they left. It was while he was deep in thought with a naked slave woman working her mouth on his morning erection that the damn slave had to turn herself to his doorsteps with her silly announcement for an audience. He asked her to come in and could notice the old woman trying to avoid looking at him with his whore doing her duty. He had smirked and asked her to state her reasons for the early morning disturbance. She said she had gone to wake up Arawa and discovered she had been running a serious increase in temperature. She had to run to him to ascertain if the doctor could come look at her. For the first time she started talking and mentioned Arawa's name, he had been startled with the thought that possibly the princess had escaped. He had already begun envisioning him
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 41. Death to the first prince
A brand new cold morning, the second morning he was waking up to since they actually left days ago. Brian felt the dampness of the morning dew around him. They had successfully found a spot in the territory where they would not be spotted easily, if not at all. He had noticed that their supplies were beginning to reduce drastically, they needed to round off whatever it was but the problem right now was that the supposed people they were lying in wait for had still not come by. He was beginning to wonder if actually they would be making the trip back. These nights, all he did was dream about her. The Wuwa princess was all around him, her beautiful eyes enchanting him and asking him to come to her. He missed her and although regarding his attitude towards her, he was not so sure but he actually wished she would be missing him as well. A lot of questions seeped through his mind regarding her which brought an air of concern and worry. He knew his brother, Adrian, was not that patient an
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 42. Poisoned sword
It's been a day now since she actually took ill. It had been tough on her, working at the mill. Arawa received full time care from the nice doctor, another gem yet among the barbarians. He had been really nice to her all through nursing her back to health. The old woman delivered her food and also assisted her with getting a bath. These were faces she loved seeing; only on occasions would the barbarian overlord come sit and watch her as he was right now . He was something really, sitting there beside her and giving her the creeps. She hated him the more and something told her he did too. There he sat with so much air of authority around him like he actually owned the world. He might own lands and people, he and his brother but they would never add her to their collection of slaves. Definitely not when she can still protest against whatever ills they plan towards her. She would keep fighting no matter what end of the rope was being tossed to her. There he sat and there she lay, her eye

FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 85. Would you be taking her to the capital?
Brian had been in his room obviously tidying up. He had just finished his bath after breakfast as he had been really hungry after waking up. Upon his insistence, Arawa had stayed although she still refused to take anything from him. But he could tell she was hungry, her stomach still sang the hunger song before him. That morning when he had woken up and found her sneaking out of his room to get her bath, Brian could not help but wonder if she really was the same person who had been singing the previous night. She just did not show any reaction even when she returned with Booma and the girls. Arawa had become much better with handling his affairs. He was glad that he would not be needing to dismiss Booma as Arawa would be accompanying him to the capital. When she came inside, she tried not to meet his eyes when she noticed he was staring. However, he had seen her from the corner of his eyes looking worried at him. Brian still wondered exactly what had happened that drunken moment, had
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 84. Coming of the barbarians
His hand held her still but although his eyes were open, they seemed glassy. Almost like he was in a trance. She tried to pull away. "Please mom.. Stay." he said again. Mom? Arawa could not believe her ears. He was such a grown man after all, so why on earth would he be calling for his mother like some little baby. Nevertheless, she did as he asked as somehow she felt pity for him. She sat by the bed and began observing him, where their mother was, she wondered. She recalled at the moment that since she arrived, she had not seen anyone being referred to as their father or mother. Could it be that the barbarian brothers had none. Her hands stole up of their own volition and brushed away his hair scattered on his face and forehead, caressing his forehead. He looked so peaceful as his eyes slowly began to shut. Arawa noticed now that even though his eyes were closed now, his hand still gripped her. It was not like she was planning on leaving him there but she wanted to shut the door a
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 83. Paying home a visit
Arawa felt the need to panic and she actually did as she first brought a finger to his nostrils. Thankfully, he was still breathing and she had never been more relieved. She knew she needed to do something about his condition but she was at loss on what exactly she should do. She did not even have any idea why he was like that and had to dash off outside to seek out the one person she trusted with such delicate situations, Booma. As she ran, she could not help but notice how quiet the entire place was save for the soldiers huddled together around fires and those on the walls. This was their duty. She tried her bestest to be less noticeable. "Halt woman!!!" she heard someone behind her. It was a soldier who had noticed her and she had to turn slowly. He was there standing and his companions seated around were all staring at her. He demanded that she stepped into the light where he could see her properly. A fearful Arawa now walked out to the light where he could see her. "Oh. It's
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 82. Excited about the forges
If there was something he dreaded most right now, it was being back with his father and getting to watch that look on his face. It was a constant reminder of what he had done in the past and this brought him guilt. Why on earth would Dorian send for him instead of Adrian. After all, the latter was supposed to be his favorite after what he had done to come short of his love. This act right now was uncalled for and he had defeated his purpose by going to get the king's order. Prepare in a week, nah, he would not even be prepared in a year if he wanted. His initial plan was to run to this place as he had, get well and return back to battle with his uncle. However, that plan had changed after coming in contact with his brother's plan. Were you thinking he had changed his mind because of Arawa, hell no. Left for Brian, even though it hurt him, he would leave her with her own kind. She was just a woman and there was no place for her in the battle grounds. Give it a period of a year or two,
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 81. Father wants me to return to the capital
It was not easy for Bron, not in the very least as he laid down there waiting for the slithering thing to get off. He was becoming scared again and managed a great deal to keep himself from shaking. But inside his heart was pounding as loud as anything that made him really scared that the snake would hear. Bron continued biding his time and waiting for the right moment. Eventually , his time came as he had been laying down there panting heavily. The snake had gone down and gradually, he started rising up and then took his sword from the upper part . He had been really lucky as it happened that it had been crawling into its hole on the ground. Weird. The hole would not have been noticed by even the daytime as it was buried underneath the dry leaves covering the area. Bron felt angered and before the tail would finish disappearing, he braced himself, took it by the cold slimy tail and pulled it out. The speed and energy with which he had done it was all he needed and he slammed it hard
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 80. Flouting his orders
He woke up before her that morning and spent a while watching her and drinking in her awesomeness. She was still fast asleep and luckily, it was still a bit dark. That meant that he got to watch her thanks to the light from the fireplace and torch. The reflection of the light on the few exposed parts of her skin was magnificent. It made Brian crave for her and want to touch her body. But then, he just could not do so as he needed to prove beyond every reasonable doubt to himself that he was not in love with Arawa. She suddenly rolled over and stretched herself now facing him. She yawned heavily and must have not thought that he was there. Her mouth actually reeked of some foul odour thanks to the fact that Arawa had not properly brushed up for two days now. In fact, she forgot. One would not blame her completely, in Wuwa after all, they only rinsed their mouths with water in the morning. He grimaced and quickly replaced it with a beautiful smile. Just then, she popped open her eyes a
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 79. A crocodile in Wuwa River
It had been a while since he last came to the dungeon and somehow, it reminded Brian of the early days in which Arawa had been kept there. He had to find a way to push aside thoughts about her. "I take it that you're still thinking about the savage woman's brother, " Adrian said as he noticed his brother had stopped moving and seemed to be in a trance. Actually Brian was not aware that he had stopped moving at the moment. He seemed to be drinking in the air and quickly snapped out of it. There were important discussions and talks to be made at the moment. Adrian smiled at him as they advanced inside. Caleb alongside the other four selected to accompany the princess company were waiting patiently for them. “Gentlemen, shall we?" Adrian said as they exchanged greetings. They had managed to put up what seemed like a round table and seats. Adrian had to ask to be certain that nobody saw, of course they had been careful with that as they did it all when it was dark already. That seemed
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 78. You make this one really special
"I don't like her here and I want her to leave with me, " she said "Her? Who?, " Adrian said feigning ignorance"The slave woman, " she blurted out "What slave woman?" he asked her, with a serious expression of confusion on his face Of course, Adrian needed no soothsayer to tell him that the princess had been referring to Arawa but then he had to make it as though she meant absolutely nothing to him. It was also frustrating her and he could tell it. Women, why would she even begin to think such nonsense as taking Arawa with her. What in heaven's name gave her such guts or possibly was she beginning to think that she was the lady of this place. It made him angry but he had to control everything. He was a man on a mission after all. "I'm referring to the woman you had been holding in your arms at the stables, " she said shamelessly. It was obvious that this was a topic she was not willing to give up on. He wondered if she had felt offended. To reassure her of his undying love for h
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 77. Where were you Arawa?
By the time they had finished cleaning up the place, Arawa was beginning to sweat it out. In fact, they both were and had to leave the rags in the pail to have another quick bath. It dawned on Melissa that dinnertime was already close by, that being if they had not started yet. She knew that if they would be meeting up, they would have to hurry up. Bathing this time did not take them long, a couple of dips in the water and they were done. They were just getting dressed up when a couple of slaves began trooping in, Melissa smiled. Possibly, they were still in time for dinner but nonetheless, they needed to hurry up. Bearing the pails in hand, they rushed to where they would be rinsing and spreading out the rags. “Why is that place always lit?” Arawa asked, referring to where she had seen that light for days now at night. She had been curious about the place and would have taken a sneak peek had it not been for distance. The said area was seemingly far from where they were. Melissa to
