I opened my eyes slowly, saw the ceiling. I felt well rested & at peace. I remembered the events that happened before I fell asleep.

“Good Morning My Lord, it seems that you are in need of me again... he he he he”

I looked towards my left & I saw a beautiful woman sleeping beside me, resting her head on my arm. Yes, she was now my wife, Adi’Je.

Me: “Morning?? How long was I out?”

Ad’Je: “It is still dawn outside My Lord.”

She came closer & gave me a warm morning kiss on my lips. Oh...I could get addicted to it...such soft & juicy lips...speaking of juicy...where is Marion?? Is she ok?? Did the curse affect her??

Me: “Ah... Adi, where is Marion?”

Adi’Je (smiling): “Your concubine is well & rested, My Lord. She had regained her senses before you; I gave her some new clothes to wear as yesterday you ripped her clothes in two, very hot might I add. Then told her to fetch your lowly friends here & wait outside. As entry is only for any Blood or our king & queen or for the kings concubine, just as I permitted her entry yesterday.”

Me: “Permitted?? You knew she was following me?”

Adi’Je (still smiling): “Yes My Lord, I did...I had my eyes on everyone that wanted to be bedded by you. But she will serve you good in the future so I let her have you before me... And My Lord, do not worry about the curse...when you decide to bed any other woman I will always be there to stop you when you reach the danger limit in time & pleasure you myself to relieve you until you learn to control yourself on your own... he he he”

I smiled at her words...not for the fact that she allowed me to sleep with other women but for the fact that we only met yesterday & still I could feel a bond of many years between us... She is truly a beautiful woman inside & out.

Adi’Je: “Ah...My Lord we should get dressed before the lesser creatures arrive & I have to give you your reward too...please if you would follow me.”

She got up & I followed her lead...I was on a bed...naked...how did I get there?? She must have taken me there...she had the power to do it...but something changed...her dress...she was not wearing the dress she wore yesterday...She was now wearing an armour, it was a black body armour with red flames drawn into it. She had tied her hair backwards & two sword sheaths were attached to her waist. She was looking not only beautiful but fierce too...

She led me into a room, where I saw clothes were folded & kept on a bed.

Adi’Je: “Please dress yourself while I fetch your reward, My Lord.”

She exited the room. I started to get dressed...it was a pair of normal clothes but of much better quality than my previous clothes & it felt like it was made from a different era. I dressed up quickly & was admiring the new clothes when something was brought in front of me from my back.

Adi’Je: “My Lord, please extend your hands.”

I did what she asked me to do. I extended my hands & Adi’Je attached it to me. I looked down to see what it was...It was an armour similar to her, but with little difference. It was red armour with black flames etched on it. In the middle two words of our ancient tongue were also inscribed into it. They were ‘সাহস’ & ‘বীর্য’.

They meant ‘courage’ & ‘valor’. I turned towards her, she had tears in her eyes…she then went on to equip me with hand braces which were also black. Both of them were unexpectedly quite light. It felt good, I felt a hidden power surge through me, it felt as if all my sensations were being enhanced. I felt powerful…

Adi’Je with tears in her eyes knelt down in front of me; her arms rose towards me… which contained two sheaths with swords in it. The sheaths were black as well. I took the swords & attached it on my back as there was holder already there freeing my waist. She got up, tears running from her eyes. I started wiping her tears & asked: “Why are you crying Adi?”

Adi’Je with a soft voice she replied: “Because My Lord, I had the great privilege of equipping our King with the Blood Lord outfit, deserved to wear by our King.

I’m honored to be your wife My Lord. These amours & weapons might feel light & not very sturdy but I can assure you My Lord, these amours & weapons are far stronger & sharper than any weapon or armor out there. Our amours were forged by Bloods blacksmith with utmost care. It was a secret technique & we relished it…

But I am afraid it is now lost. The art is now lost…one of our greatest heritage is now forever lost.”

Her voice choked, tears were now coming out with full force…I felt her pain in my heart…I felt a strong bond between us.

Me: “Then we will find it & cherish it again…I promise you…you will see our heritage restored.”

She looked at me, her eyes full of tears, trying to say something but couldn’t. She kissed me…we kissed…our tongues entwined as our lips parted. It was a very soothing moment for both of us. Our kiss ended but she was still crying; I decided to avert her mind.

Me (smiling): “So…you want 10 kids?”

She looked at me, smiled & started to wipe her tears.

Adi’Je: “If it were up too me My Lord, I would have liked to birth an entire army for you…but I cannot…You need more Blood women to accomplish it… But other than me there are none. For exactly that reason, I want to have as many children as I could possibly have for you… until you start mating with different women from different clans.”

Me: “Is that so… then I also promise to have as much children with you as I can…& even after if I bed any other non Blood, I would love you & care for you the same way I do now.”

She started crying again & hugged me…it felt very warm & good.

Me: “Uh…one more thing…please stop referring my friends or in fact any other non Blood person as lowly creatures…our situation has changed. We live with them & we are united as one.”

Adi’Je (wiping away her tears): “I am sorry My Lord; I will try…that is the most I could promise to you as I am a proud member of the Blood Clan…that is my strength & also my weakness.

But I can understand now what Hui’Mi wanted to achieve…I have only one trait & that is of the Blood but unlike me you have two traits…one of the Blood & another one, the power to control the Blood within you… I truly believe that was what Hui’Mi wanted & that is what I can see within you, My Lord. I truly believe you are our new hope & one day make our Clan whole again.”

I smiled at her, her words makes me full of courage & belief in me…she truly is a remarkable woman…

Me: “I too intend to do that but to strengthen the Zoit continent with the help of our clan. We will rise again, I promise you that… after we have finished our mission we will travel back to Zuma to question the Council…Why did they forget their own history?”

Adi’Je: “I would also love to visit the new Blood…I mean new Zuma settlement with you My Lord.”

I wanted to make love to her again at that moment…but we heard voices coming outside from the cave.

Adi’Je: “Ah…they must have arrived…I will ‘Greet’ them first. My Lord please come quickly… he he he he…”

She left the room & went outside the cave to greet the others, who have come. After she went out, I unsheathe my weapons to see them. What I saw amazed me… the handle were of black & blue spiraling over each other. The blade was of black in colour with red bordering both of its sharp edge. It was slightly tapering towards it's middle from both sides forming a arc . I felt power from them, surging through me, I felt my eyes burn but it didn’t cause any pain. I felt I was brimming with energy & was more powerful than ever.

With My new gear I went outside the cave. It was morning, a pleasant one at that. I saw my team mates standing & in front of them Adi’Je standing with a smirk on her face. I got a feeling that she said something to someone unwanted. Everybody looked at me… their expression changed. Javel & Paleg had an impressed look on their face, while Ron had a jealous look on his face…I wonder why?? Wei eyes were checking me out from head to toe, she had a look of disbelief while Marion blushed turning her face red & when our eyes met she looked down turning even more red…she must be feeling awkward from our last night’s encounter… and Aby’s expression changed by the minute…annoyed to astonishment, the impressed, then her cheeks turned red, then again annoyed & finally ended at anger… *sigh* Why does she always end up at anger in the matters concerning me??

Aby: “Well…well…BOY!!…won’t you invite inside your little honeymoon getaway…?”

Me: “Sorry, but none may enter except a Blood…” I smiled, it was a fact…what could I do…

Aby (angry, her voice became coarse): “Even you dawn a new dress & get yourself a new toy, you still are a BOY to us…remember…” even before she could finish her sentence or even anybody including me could comprehend anything…a black blade was placed near Aby’s throat…

Adi’Je (annoyed & in a cold voice): “Even if you...a lowly merecat grows hands, feet & a pair of underdeveloped breasts & could string a few sentences… you still are a measly little merecat to a Blood… And even more so, none may talk like that to My Lord…the King of the Bloods.”

How fast & precise was she?? Adi’Je would certainly best any of us at any time…She was powerful…I am lucky she was my wife & not my enemy…

Aby was dumbfounded to say the least…I knew if I let them continue their argument it will turn bloody…

Me (with a stern voice): “Adi’Je…lower your sword…”

Adi’Je looked at me & nodded, sheathed her sword. I was feeling more confident than before.

Me: “Now enough of the pleasantries…back to our objective…Javel have you found or have any idea where it may be found??”

Javel: “I am afraid not…I have been trying to ascertain any strong or out of the place aura to find it but to no avail… We have no choice but to search the entire forest.”

Paleg: “Then we better get started…let’s move…”

We nodded & started to walk.

Adi’Je: “My Lord, what are you searching here?”

Me: “Ah…an ancient artifact that had been said to be hidden here…”

Adi’Je: “What kind of an artifact?”

Me: “We don’t know…. We have only learned about it just a few weeks ago. We have been commissioned by the Council of Zoit to find & retrieve it.”

I thought of something what we should have thought in the first place…

Me: “Adi…you are here for many years…Have you encountered or felt anything out of the ordinary just like you in this forest?”

Adi’Je: “Hmm…out of the ordinary…well besides me there is only the forest guardian who is out of the ordinary.”

Me: “Forest guardian??”

Everybody stopped moving & looked at her…

Adi’Je: “Yes My Lord, the forest guardian. He is a nasty fellow…old & twisted…He is the most powerful monster in this forest but not quiet at our level…and I mean the level of the Bloods…Huh…He always lusted for me & waited for all these years to get his hands on me…that jacked up half breed monster…I would chop his penis into worm food if I find him… ohh…he also wears this big necklace around his neck which is studded by a big violet gem…It does not give him any power …it is good just for showing off…I wonder why he wears it all the time.”

We looked at each other…that gem has to it…

Me: “Adi, how to get close to this twisted monster?”

Adi’Je: “Do not worry My Lord, as I am free from the crystal & we have other females…he would find us himself…he he he…”

That bastard…lusting after my wife…I will not let any monster to any harm on anyone & certainly not on my wife…I would cut your penis clean off…You just come to me…

Adi’Je: “Oh…another thing My Lord, after his breeding with the local animals here, his off springs are a bit mutated in the wrong way… & he has a lot of them at his command…we should have ourselves a bloody battle at our hands…yummm…

Ohh...it has been ages since I last fought...ahh...I can not wait for the Blood bath...he he he he...”

Well… nothing better than a good fight I suppose…Bring on the Fight…
