FOREST BRIDE (a gift from the river god) 62.Special Duties
"Wake up Arawa, " someone was tapping her and speaking softly. It was Melissa and that was kind of odd as it was barely first light. Although, it was morning but it was just too early. Arawa herself still felt the need to get some sleep as she was rather exhausted. Well, eventually she forced open her heavy eyelids and cast Melissa a displeased glance which she was not sure she would notice. Melissa informed her that they had to go bath as by daylight, every slave would be going to the slave bath house. "That place is usually crowded by that time so I choose to go earlier, and besides we get to own a bit of peace and quiet. What say you princess?, " she asked and Arawa saw the twinkle in her eyes. "And the soldiers?, " Arawa askedMelissa laughed and tugged at her. Well, if there was one thing she was beginning to understand, it was the fact that Melissa would not harm her. The girl posed no threat at all, at least none that she could take notice of. Arawa got off the bed and snuc

Things just went downright awkward. Arawa hoped that he would just leave. She wished she had not suddenly turned around but then, she felt a gush of anger within her . What on earth was she doing getting all girly and pink simply because he was looking at her. She obviously was making it seem like he could control what she felt and that was about to stop. She replaced the blushing look on her face with a serious frown and turned to look at Booma. The old lady was directing her on what they would be doing and how they would be going about it. Arawa could bet on the fact that her sudden change of mood might have shocked him to the bone marrow. Good for him. He did not deserve her weakness, he was nothing but a barbarian. She paid attention and began doing her assigned duties which basically was sweeping. It had not been easy getting used to the broom which was a long stick with what seemed like reeds attached to the base. Booma had nearly given up trying to teach her out of frustration

Sadly it had been days now since he had slipped into oblivion and Kili had been doing his best to bring him back. Orau had not left his side for longer than five minutes , she was worried and so were the villagers. She had not expected that her husband would be hurt that much and had become skeptical about waking up. Kili had reassured her that he would be fine eventually but she had her doubts. Kuka had not even opened his eyes, he was just a big mass of breathing flesh. Kili had administered the antidote and medicines to no avail. They had been waiting and praying to Ara to save him from Anula’'s grip. He was their king. Daily, warriors would go off in search of Bron who had managed to escape somehow. It had been during the moment of shock from Kuka’s fall that he had found an advantage. He bailed on the and the angry warriors had been looking everywhere for him. Orau was worried as she knew now that he stands to oppose them. No one would be safe anymore, no one would find rest unl

This woman was strange, how could she know about Wuwa if she was not from there . Arawa now faced her directly waiting for an answer but she said nothing more. Instead she grabbed her broomstick and continued what she was doing. Arawa of course was not taking no for an answer and went to where she faced demanding an answer but she simply turned away. Arawa followed her and she moved away from her, walking briskly towards where they kept the broomsticks. Arawa had forgotten her duty and followed her. What was the point of bringing her curiosity over the edge and then leaving her in the dark? If there were her people here, then she had the right to know. "You there!! Haven't you got something to do or do I get you engaged?, " an angry soldier said to her brandishing his whip threateningly. Arawa looked up at him with distaste. He sure was looking for trouble with Brian if he did touch her. Somehow, she knew that Brian would never approve another punishing her but with the way she had

Melissa did not stop as she ran off to his chambers. If it was the captain punishing Arawa, then it could be only Adrian and Brian that could save her from his clutches. She had seen the look in Brian's eyes the Time he had intercepted them when they had gone to get water, that was not how a master looked at his slave. No, that had been the look of a concerned lover and she immediately understood that the warlord had sent her to the slave hall (shed) because she played an obvious role as his weakness. And one thing every warlord hated was his weakness being obvious. She rushed over to his room and had forgotten to knock in her worry. He was just getting out of the bath and stark naked when she happened to stumble in. Melissa gasped and immediately lowered her eyes, muttering an apology. She became afraid and worried that she would be punished simply because she had cared so much about her new friend. In fact, she totally had forgotten why she was there and now trembled. "What is the

Brian and Adrian had been dancing around with their swords for sometime now. Truth be told, it had been quite a really long time since the brothers had this amount of fun. They were there fencing and giggling like little boys, neither willing to give up for the other. Soon, they were both panting tiredly and struggling hard to catch their breath. They both decided to take a break and sat down with their swords at hand. If there was anything they had learnt, it was their special ability to commit foul play when training. They knew each other inside out. They had not noticed the captain who had not left the scene and had been watching them all along. By age, he was older than them both and was more than happy to see them as happy as this. Since Adrian rescued him and he pledged himself to him fully, he had never seen him this excited. Not even when he was with the women. It made him glad to see him like this. Actually , he had not left since then as he felt like he owed the brothers, m

Her back burned badly and felt like it had developed extra nostrils and was breathing. All her life, even through childhood, she had never undergone anything like this. This was simply sheer wickedness on humanity by a single person. But regardless , Arawa was glad that the whip master gotta lose that hand with which he had thought of whipping her with. She had been swearing in her mind that on a very good day, she would get her revenge by taking off that hand if he's. But looking at things right now, that would not be necessary as her heroes had come to the rescue. Heroes in her head now included Adrian. Whereas, she could have sworn that Brian wanted to chop off his head from whence he stood, she knew that she would never live down with the guilt of being the reason for a person's demise. As much as he had caused her pain, he had not deserved to die for just beating her which obviously was an order from his superior. On the other hand, Adrian seemed to have read her thoughts and ha

Ollie stood there glaring at Arawa, fuming with rage. To her, she saw no reason why master Brian would stand up for this savage woman. She had been here for longer and deserved to be treated above all. She had been trying to get his attention from the very first time she had seen him but to no avail. Only then, for this savage to come to win him over by simply being annoying. First, she had won him over and then, she bit her arm causing her a scar. Now, she had vowed to herself never to give peace to Arawa not minding the odds. It had given her such satisfaction seeing Arawa being whipped, only for Brian to show up. Someone had definitely called him to the scene and that someone had been whom she had been trying to find out when the annoying lady came back. She looked too beautiful in that dress of hers and that caused Ollie so much anger. What made her feel so proud was it because of this body. Ollie had been trying all she could and all she had learnt along the line to get curvy bu

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
