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) 43. Typical Adrian
The brothers knew of course that the princess would certainly insist on coming straight to her lover. They discussed exactly how discreet the entire activities would be like. Everyone was to act as though nothing happened which of course, Brian was well prepared for. He continued taking more drinks from the wine bottle and soon, the discussion had shifted to his slave. He wanted to know just how she was faring. Adrian actually hesitated and Brian could tell that things had not been rosy between the duo, just as he had expected. According to his brother, the Wuwa woman was sheer crazy and he had to punish her. He had eventually sent her away to the mill. "Wa.. wait, you what?, " Brian had suddenly asked with his cup held halfway to his mouth. Adrian had never actually seen him this defensive and interested in such trivial matters as a woman's pain. Although, he had heard of this certain rumor that his brother had been lovestruck during wars but had not the courage to ask him. He did
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 44. Sharp Arawa
It was all so great for him and yet overwhelming. The desire and ecstasy of wanting to see her naked. The tenderness of her smooth skin and the warmth as he continued raising the robe. He had his hand holding a fistful of her garment in his hand but he had been able to lift the garment up to her knee level. He grasped more of the clothing and raised it up furthermore, up until it was there on her thighs. Then he swept his hand across her smooth skin and felt her shiver with his touch. He started caressing his way gradually up until his hand went underneath her garment and began making for her sacred womanhood. She had been asleep and enjoyed her dream until someone had to wake her up with his voice. She had recognized that voice, he was back. From the moment he had asked her for her name back in the dungeon, Arawa had memorized that voice. It was firm and sent chills down her spine. Okay, not her spine for that would mean fear . Instead, we could say it sent chills down her waist. He
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 45. Mr. Barbarian
Arawa Sat on the bed trying to catch her breath. She had barely missed whatever it was he had in store for her. She could vividly remember him suddenly rising up from the floor with so much anger that seemed to want to tear her in pieces. The way he looked at her scared her so much that immediately, she began regretting pushing him away. She wished she had continued feigning that she was asleep and maybe, he would have stopped whatever it was he had been doing. Or better yet, she could have let him do whatever he was doing with her lips, after all it made her feel really good and relaxed. It might have not taken anything from her but she found it disrespectful. She had once happened upon her father doing the lip thing and his hand had brushed across her naked arm in the same manner as this barbarian had done with her legs. She had also seen it in the village but since they were practiced by the married ones, Arawa needed no one to tell her whom that practice was for. It made her feel
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 46. Worry about the living
There he sat just a few steps from where she sat. Their eyes locked with each other, each having a different thought. For Brian, his thoughts were wrapped around the perfect timing it was. No one was going to interrupt his schemes. It was time to make her pay for what she had done to him earlier . He stared at her with so much anger wrapped around the emotions of lustfulness. The doctor was gone and from all he had said, she was strong enough. She was in his clutches now. Brian licked his lips with the ecstasy of wanting her. For Arawa, it was more of fear and self defense ruminating through her mind. She was trying to read his thoughts to know what he was planning for her. She was now at his mercy, he was sure going to make use of it. He was rising up now, almost in slow motion. A lump hung in her throat as she tried to swallow hard. Was he intentionally doing this to her, she wondered as she rose up completely oblivious of the fact that the robe he had across his laps was falling o
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 47. Put my heir in her belly
"It is her right? The slave woman who's keeping your mind wrapped up, " Adrian said with a snicker. "Her what.. No.. I.. Wa.. Oh come on, " Brian said and they both laughed out loud. It was actually funny how predictable he was becoming. This woman was making him go crazy and he needed to do something about it, about her. They had important things to talk about and here he was brooding over her, a mere slave woman who was much more beautiful than any woman he had actually come across in his entire life. She was in absolute control of his mind, making him forget even important matters. Now, that was scary because he was not one to easily let down his guard. The last time he had done so over a woman he loved and still did love obviously, well you sure remember the resultant effect across his chest. He needed to do something about her urgently or he might lose his mind over her. He however had to force himself to snap out of it as there were more pressing matters at hand. They needed t
FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 48. Stop desecrating it
Arawa was breathing heavily. She just could not understand why this barbarian was hell bent on stripping her. It was a bad omen for a man to look up the nakedness of an unmarried woman. If he did, eventually he must claim her and right now, our princess dearest did not want that for herself. She did not want to be claimed by some random barbarian filth. All she wanted right now was for him to take his body off her and let her be. She was nearly pleading with her eyes. He was persistent really and that was one thing she had noted. Whatever was in his damn mind must probably be destined to happen. Maybe, his gods were superior to her. But then, Ara was the greatest of all gods and with Anula by his side, he was invincible. How then now could the barbarian over shadow her. Twice he had tried earlier to strip her bare. Twice already he had been interrupted. Arawa had breathed out in relief back then. She actually tried keeping awake to make certain that he was not coming back for her. Sh

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
