《Heart of Embers (Thorin Oakenshield Love Story)》Chapter 22
Advertisement
The pale moonlight bathed Arien's beautiful face in silver light, casting it into light and shadow as she lay curled on her side, her hair falling about it in a cascade of bronze. Thorin couldn't sleep. He'd lain there with his eyes open, not wanting to move in case he woke Arien, and not slept at all.
Thorin shifted onto his side, if he was honest with himself unable not to look at Arien's sleeping face. He'd never really noticed it before, but her hands were beautiful, like delicate, tiny doves. He was half tempted to reach forward and lace his fingers through hers. Instead, Thorin leaned over, gently pushing her hair out of her face, his knuckles brushing her skin. He dragged a thumb gently across her cheek, her skin so soft against the rough calluses of his own. He smiled softly, grazing his knuckles against her lips, touching places he'd never before had the cause to touch.
She was so cold, he realised. Despite the blanket, her face was like ice against his hand. As gently as he could, Thorin pulled the blanket further over her shoulders, tucking it over her bare neck. Arien blinked slowly awake, her green eyes heavy, and smiled when she saw him. That smile... Thorin couldn't help returning it as he murmured
"Go back to sleep, Arien."
She nodded wearily, but reached for his hand, gripping it in her own small one and bringing it up to her face.
Thorin hesitated a moment, then reached for her, pulling her toward him and enveloping her in his arms, letting her bury her head in his chest. He rested his cheek on her hair. She breathed in deep, and mumbled
"By Durin, you're warm."
He laughed quietly. "Finally you're starting to speak like a dwarf."

Anti-Martial Academy: PRiSMA Saga (LN)
{A crossover based on a Visual Novel still in the works called ‘PRiSMA’, and heavily inspired by the Light Novel called ‘Anti-Magic Academy’. Thus, the plot and events are reminiscent of the latter.} The denizens of the underworld, Anima and long forgotten Martial Artists of the Murim, both allied with each other to fight humanity. Their attacks almost caused the fledgling Magi to become extinct. When heroes appeared to fight off the invading forces, the ‘First World Ender War’ finally came to a conclusion. In the stalemate that followed, the new Magi went through a technological revolution. In the current era of peace, the Anti-Martial Academy was made to fight off those Martial Artists infiltrating the Earthland Domain. In the present, the ‘Red Queen’ was demoted back into the Academy. Forced to join the ‘Support Squad’, a team of outcasts who can’t fight even to save their lives, the one most uncomfortable became Fritz Lazrik, the leader that seemed too much like a pushover. Wielding a MagiPen in hand, he has the small hope of being able to beat the ‘monster’ joining them. The start of their legend begins...————I have posted this on other sites.
